Chapter 101 Even if you're forced to do it, you have to go!
Everything on the high platform happened far too quickly.
Before anyone could react, Zhou Wei had already drawn her knife and slit Zhao Wuji's throat.
As they watched Lord Zhao fall into a pool of blood, the students in the front row let out a sharp, explosive sound!
This caused chaos among the people at the scene!
Lu Zhiyan led the men of the Five Cities Garrison, Qiu Ming led the Embroidered-Robed Envoy, and Zhu Zhen led the Golden Guards, totaling several thousand people, who worked hard to maintain order at the scene.
Even they were unaware of what had happened on the high platform.
Why did Zhou Wei suddenly attack and hurt someone?
Chu Tianze was so shocked when Zhou Wei pointed a knife at him that he retreated repeatedly.
Zhou Wei laughed freely, not pressing him further, because she was waiting for Hu Youniang to appear.
How could Hu Youniang not come to such a scene?
If we're going to solve it, we'll solve both at once!
To appease the people, Zhou Wei shouted at them, "All of you, be quiet!"
Zhou Wei's voice was booming, and the terrain of the Temple of Agriculture was originally built for sacrificial purposes, making it quite unique.
On the high platform, raising the volume had an amplifying effect.
It's like holding a microphone!
Zhou Wei herself was somewhat surprised after finishing her drink.
"As expected of the royal selection, the effect is truly remarkable!"
The people and students quieted down at Zhou Wei's shout, and everyone craned their necks to look at the high platform.
Zhao Wuji was dressed in official robes, which clearly indicated his high status.
Such a high-ranking official actually had his throat slit by this loud-mouthed woman?
The people had never seen such a thrilling scene before!
They were scared and nervous, but also a little excited; they were just there for the fun of it.
But no one told them that today's excitement would be this thrilling!
Once the scene quiets down, the focus becomes exceptionally clear.
Zhou Wei pointed her knife at Chu Tiance, the third-ranked scholar, and the common people and students immediately understood.
Chu Tianze might be the next one to lose his life!
In a moment of desperation, Chu Tianze immediately defended himself.
"Zhou Wei, what is your intention in indiscriminately killing government officials?"
"Do you intend to rebel?"
rebel?!
hum ---
The local residents and students were even more excited!
They pushed and shoved each other forward, all wanting to get closer to the center of the incident.
The four members of the Mei family were also swept along and moved forward. Taking advantage of this gap, Yuanxing quickly explained things to Mei Xingyue.
"Mother, when the time comes, you shall appear!"
"We only have one chance, Mother, you must seize it."
Mei Xingyue was also very nervous. She thought today was a grand gathering of literary talents, so how could such a sudden change have occurred?
That vile servant Zhou Wei actually killed someone!
With the scene in such a mess, will her appearance really be able to impress the Crown Prince?
"Xiao Yue, the scene is too chaotic. It's obvious that a major case has occurred. Is it appropriate for your mother to show up in a bit?"
Yuanxing was determined; even if it didn't work out, it had to work out!
There is no better opportunity than this grand event!
Knowing especially that there was a high-ranking monk from Kongshan Temple nearby, Yuanxing was even less willing to waste time.
Even if Mei Xingyue was forced into it, she had to do it!
“Mother, this is the right time! If we don’t show up today, who knows when we’ll get another chance.”
“Look at Zhou Wei on that high platform. I haven’t even avenged the fact that she broke my limbs and knocked out my teeth.”
"If Mother doesn't acknowledge the Crown Prince, how can she take revenge on this lowly servant?"
"Now that Mother has become the Crown Princess, no matter how arrogant this lowly servant is, she will have to kneel before Mother."
Jiang Nianmei chimed in, "Yes, Mother! Don't hesitate, listen to your younger brother."
She envied Princess Jiang Yueli, who sat firmly on the high platform and was worshipped by thousands.
He was even more jealous of Zhou Wei's long knife, which could slit the throat of an official of the court and make the third-ranked scholar tremble with fear!
If all this glory were bestowed upon her...
Jiang Nianmei trembled with excitement just thinking about it.
Do those two lowly people, Jiang Yueli and Zhou Wei, even deserve to be the center of attention?
…………
Unlike the clamor of the common people and students, everyone on the high platform looked at Chu Tianze after he spoke up to refute them.
Zhou Wei sneered, "What a boastful tone, Scholar! Rebellion? Whom would I rebel against?"
"The Crown Prince is here, the Eldest Princess is here...you..."
Before she could finish speaking, the Third Prince coughed and looked at Zhou Wei expectantly.
The meaning was clear: Give me some face, I am, after all, a prince!
Fine!
Although Jiang Yuelin is a bit of a jerk, he did a decent job assisting us today, so we'll give him some face.
Zhou Wei said again, "The Crown Prince is here, the Eldest Princess is here, the Third Prince is here, and none of them have accused me of rebellion, yet you've labeled me as such. Who do you think you are?"
The Third Prince felt incredibly refreshed after hearing this!
Chu Tianze's face flushed red; he still had no idea what had happened.
How did a masterpiece of literature turn into a murder case?
Zhao Wuji was the northern official who supported him the most in the court, and also the highest-ranking official from the north!
Such a person was actually killed by Zhou Wei with a single blow.
Strangely, aside from being shocked, the Crown Prince showed no intention of punishing Zhou Wei.
What exactly went wrong here?
Seeing Chu Tianze's ever-changing expression, Zhou Wei knew he must be completely confused.
He explained without hesitation, "Does the third-ranked scholar know why Lord Zhao died?"
Chu Tianze glared at Zhou Wei: "I don't know! But in any case, Lord Zhao is an imperial censor. Even if he is guilty, the Emperor should decide. How can you abuse your power?"
Zhou Wei sneered, utterly disgusted by Chu Tiance's high-sounding words.
"The third-ranked scholar doesn't know, but I'll tell you."
"Lord Zhao, I will die because of you!"
Chu Tianze's head buzzed as if it were about to explode. He glared angrily at Zhou Wei, as if he wanted to tear her to pieces.
“Zhou Wei, don’t make false accusations! I, Chu Tiance, am an upright and honorable man, about to ascend to the top of the Northern Literary Sect. How can you slander me like that?”
Zhou Wei and Chu Tianze faced off, while Hu Youniang in the crowd was extremely nervous.
She vaguely sensed that her theft of the exam questions had been exposed!
Although it's unclear which part went wrong, Zhou Wei's arrogance already proves that her guess was correct.
"What should we do? That vile maid Zhou Wei is ruthless, and that slut Jiang Yueli resents Chu Lang and keeps pestering him! If Zhou Wei really gets a chance, she will definitely kill him."
"No, Chu Lang must not be harmed. He possesses great fortune that can aid my cultivation. He must not die here."
Hu Youniang became increasingly anxious as she thought about it, and her body became somewhat unsteady.
He could only forcefully maintain the circulation of his vital energy to sustain his body.
"If Zhou Wei really makes a move in a moment, I will show myself and rescue Chu Lang."
"As long as a person is alive, there is always a chance to start over."
Hu Youniang made up her mind and secretly circulated her energy, ready to make a move at any moment.
As a result, the demon-exorcising mark on her body became more and more obvious!
When Yuanxing looked at Hu Youniang again, he no longer needed to search for her; he could spot her at a glance in the crowd.
"What is this spirit trying to do? Why is it circulating its cultivation? There are so many people around; could it be that it intends to harm someone?"
As Yuanxing thought about it, his eyes became even more fervent.
If Hu Youniang really makes a move, that would be exactly what he wanted!
I was initially worried about how to expose Hu Youniang, this monster.
Now there's no need to worry anymore. He just needs to wait for Hu Youniang to make a move, and he will immediately push Mei Xingyue out!
