It was framed as a plea, but his tone was incredibly forceful!
Besides Shen Yanchuan, probably no one else would dare to speak to Emperor Muwu like that.
But who could argue? He had plenty of leverage.
The Heir of Duke Dingbei had been the target of two assassination attempts, one of which was in the Capital City. He certainly had the right to demand justice.
And now… the conclusion was all but certain!
Everyone instinctively looked toward Xiao Chengxuan.
At this point, how could he possibly defend himself?
Xiao Chengxuan's mind had already gone blank. He just stood there, stunned, his eyes unfocused.
He was completely dumbfounded.
For both attempts, he had indeed deliberately sent men in identical attire, precisely to make Shen Yanchuan believe it was the same group of people.
But he never expected Shen Yanchuan to have this trap waiting for him!
If he tried to deny it now, who would believe him?
More importantly—Shen Yanchuan had survivors!
