79: The resonance of the common people's pen! I will not frame you with my innocence!

Liu Zhen and the others, who were following behind Li Shengyuan, were also incredibly shocked by the four words he uttered.

After regaining his senses, Liu Zhen looked at Li Shengyuan with complex emotions and exclaimed, "Long live the people... This is the first time I've ever heard that, from ancient times until now."

"Shengyuan, you truly are different from us."

Li Shengyuan merely smiled faintly, "There's nothing different. I've just experienced more than you all, that's all."

It was indeed a genuine sentiment. In the capital, when he heard others say 'Long live the Emperor,' he felt nothing, but upon hearing people shout 'Long live' to him...

Those four words subconsciously appeared in his mind.

After saying that, Li Shengyuan himself was stunned.

He reached out and touched his chest; the Cangsheng Brush his grandfather gave him was right there.

At this moment, he felt the Cangsheng Brush trembling slightly, then becoming scorching hot!

Was the Cangsheng Brush resonating?!

Li Shengyuan was somewhat shocked. He wasn't a Confucian cultivator and didn't possess Righteous Qi, so he could use the Cangsheng Brush's basic functions, but to resonate with a top-tier second-grade Confucian treasure was almost impossible!

Yet, it was truly happening now.

Is it just because I uttered those four words, 'Long live the people'?

The power of these four words is too immense...

At this moment, Liu Zhen's somewhat helpless voice sounded in his ear.

"Now this is great. Our Demon Suppression Division branch, which was already packed to the brim, has even more people reporting after you said those four words. They're still continuously flocking here..."

"Everyone is frantically pushing their way in, just saying they want to see you, like fervent believers. You've truly become famous now!"

Li Shengyuan was taken aback. He hadn't expected the four words he casually spoke to cause such a huge sensation.

Fervent believers...

A flash of inspiration crossed Li Shengyuan's mind: could it be that his resonance with the Cangsheng Brush was due to these common people?

Being called the Cangsheng Brush, it naturally has a connection with the common people. The stronger the Power of Sentient Beings it feeds back to him, the greater the power the Cangsheng Brush can unleash!

If the Power of Sentient Beings he draws becomes stronger and stronger in the future, could it mean he could break free from his grandfather and follow him instead... Li Shengyuan thought to himself, a rebellious thought.

Patting his chest, he soothed the trembling, hot Cangsheng Brush, then said to Liu Zhen with some helplessness:

"I also didn't expect such a change. The common people are too enthusiastic. Let the brothers outside work hard to hold them back."

Then, he looked at Ye Hangzhou and smiled harmlessly, "How about asking Chief Ye to help out and set up a large isolation array?"

Ye Hangzhou's action of fanning himself suddenly stiffened. He turned his head to look at Li Shengyuan, opened his mouth as if to speak but stopped, then took a deep breath and directly teleported away...

Seeing this, Liu Zhen and the other two immediately smiled and gave Li Shengyuan a thumbs up!

Lord Li is still amazing!

If anyone else dared to speak to him like that, they'd probably be slapped away...

Li Shengyuan smiled and waved his hand, "Keep it low-key."

"Let's go see what kind of case it is first. Is it really that complicated? It even requires me to intervene!"

After speaking, he walked towards the main hall with his hands behind his back.

Liu Zhen and the other two also followed behind, full of curiosity.

Working in the Demon Suppression Division, those who can become Silver-Robed Demon Suppression Envoy must have seen almost all sorts of bizarre and strange cases.

If it's difficult for them, it must be unusual!

Li Shengyuan and the others arrived at the main hall and immediately saw several Silver-Robed Demon Suppression Envoy with troubled expressions, scratching their heads.

On both sides were people attending the public trial, including commoners and high-ranking officials. At this moment, they were all whispering incessantly, pointing at the two people in the main hall.

In the main hall, a man and a woman were confronting each other.

The man looked angry and aggrieved, with a robust physique and a hint of murderous aura, but it wasn't from killing. If Li Shengyuan's guess was correct, this man should be a butcher!

The woman, on the other hand, held her head high, looking as if to say, 'What can you do to me?' She was quite pretty, like a young lady from a good family.

Both were ordinary people with no cultivation.

Seeing this scene, Li Shengyuan was a little confused. Didn't they say the case was very complicated?

Why are there only two people? They don't seem to be seriously injured either.

"What's going on? Didn't you say the case was very complicated?" Li Shengyuan asked with a frown as he walked towards the main seat of the hall.

As soon as Li Shengyuan sat down, before the presiding Silver-Clad Demon Subduing Envoy could speak, the woman, who had her head held high, started to cry and speak.

"Lord Li, this commoner, Lady Zhang, you must uphold justice for this commoner... Wuwuwu..."

Looking at the woman wiping her tears, Li Shengyuan frowned slightly and said in a deep voice:

"Speak. What justice do you want this official to uphold for you?"

The angry man next to her couldn't help but say, "My Lord, this matter..."

But he was mercilessly interrupted by Li Shengyuan, "It's not your turn to speak yet!"

Seeing this, the woman secretly raised an eyebrow at the man in triumph, then tearfully said:

"My Lord, after His Majesty ascended the throne, didn't a law get promulgated, stating that no man within the Great Qian territory shall force a female citizen into intimate relations, otherwise they shall all be treated as rape and punished accordingly!"

Li Shengyuan nodded indifferently, "That's right, it is true."

Although Great Qian had slaves and people of low status, as long as they didn't commit crimes, they were all citizens of Great Qian and enjoyed the protection and judgment of Great Qian's laws.

As a woman, the Empress Sister, even in this world where the strong are revered, still brought some special privileges to ordinary women.

After receiving Li Shengyuan's affirmation, Lady Zhang's demeanor became even more forceful. With teary eyes, she pointed at the man beside her and said with profound grief:

"This man, I met him through a matchmaker on the street. I thought he was a good man for not minding that I had been married once before. After he took a hundred taels of silver as a betrothal gift, we set the engagement, but who would have thought..."

Before she finished speaking, she started wailing again.

Li Shengyuan, in the main seat, was now frowning deeply, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

After crying for a while, Lady Zhang choked out, "Who would have thought this man was a beast in human clothing!"

At this point, the man next to her could no longer hold back. Disregarding the yamen runner's attempts to stop him, he looked up at Li Shengyuan with an expression of profound grief, shouting, both aggrieved and wronged:

"My Lord, this is slander, all slander!"

"The matter is not at all as she says. This commoner never intended to force her. Going to her house was also at her invitation, and it was at her request to procure some furniture!"

Li Shengyuan was somewhat dazed at this point. Why was this script so familiar!

However, Lady Zhang's next words made him instantly dumbfounded.

Lady Zhang looked at the butcher man with an expression of shame and indignation, and said with profound grief:

"Wang, are you saying that this girl is slandering you with her own purity and reputation?!"
