615: Imprisoned, rewarded

“I…” The Seventh Princess listened to Yuwen Mingxuan’s words, then turned to look at Zhou Wuji, her soft hand gripping her skirt: “Why did you lie to this Princess?”

The woman’s voice carried a hint of grievance and disappointment.

At the time, she thought this person’s literary talent was that of a contemporary literary giant, and she even repeatedly defended him at the poetry gathering.

But the final result was that all the literary talent of the person before her was copied from ancient people, it was fake!

This made her lose face completely, and even in the future, this matter would become a laughingstock for others!

Meanwhile, Zhou Wuji, who was below, heard the woman's question and tightly gripped the teacup in his hand. His posture seemed calm, but his heart was actually fluctuating like waves!

This situation was simply too unbearable!

Why did the ancient era of this World also have the two, Li and Du?

And their poems were actually here too, and they were exactly the same as in his World!

Everyone’s mocking expressions were as if Heaven was being unfair to him!

Even in his previous life, Zhou Wuji had never encountered such an absurd situation!

“Buzz~”

Just as the Man was filled with pent-up frustration, a hazy light suddenly appeared before his eyes.

It was as if something had been activated, causing him to be slightly stunned.

“Alright, is the Seventh Princess still expecting him to give some deceitful explanation?”

“He’s just a disciple from a common Gaopeng Family, the Seventh Princess was deceived, is she still planning to defend him? Surely there’s no affection involved, right?”

Yuwen Mingxuan looked at the woman beside him, who had just been incredibly arrogant, with a good mood, feeling the pleasure of a reversal.

“Yuwen Mingxuan, what are you saying? How could this Princess so easily develop feelings of affection?!” the Seventh Princess shouted somewhat exasperatedly.

It was also at this moment that the green-robed Man below the stage slowly placed the wine cup in his hand onto the table.

The sound of it landing on the table wasn't very loud, but everyone present heard it clearly!

“Prince Bingjian’s nephew, some words cannot be said casually, even as a joke.” The green-robed Man slowly began to speak, and between his words, it was like a venomous Snake, spitting out chilling coldness that made people tremble!

Facing these words directly, a dense layer of cold sweat instantly appeared on Yuwen Mingxuan’s forehead.

His skin even broke out in goosebumps!

That fear that rushed over him was like a tangible entity, occupying his heart and mind!

“Hmph! Among Juniors, saying a few words won’t make you lose a single hair, will it? Putting pressure on Young Master Mingxuan, does that make you capable?!” A powerful and heavy voice erupted from the General in armor below Yuwen Mingxuan.

This voice made everyone in the entire Wanhua Brothel feel a slight tremor in their ear canals.

Similarly, the cold aura brought by the green-robed youth was also dispersed like heavy snow meeting the Sun.

The scene became somewhat strange and quiet due to this sudden situation.

The surrounding guests could sense that the status, position, and even strength of these two people in dialogue were not simple. None of them spoke, nor did they dare to speak.

Finally, it was Yuwen Mingxuan who broke the deadlock.

“Hahaha, Uncle Snake is right, it was this Junior who was presumptuous, this Junior’s presumptuousness!” Yuwen Mingxuan readily admitted his ‘slip of the tongue’.

The Seventh Princess’s suitable marriage partner had already been decided by the current Holy Lord.

His frivolous statement that the Seventh Princess had feelings for Zhou Wuji was also somewhat crossing the line.

“Let’s get back to the main topic, haha.” After Yuwen Mingxuan spoke, the atmosphere in the venue gradually warmed up.

Everyone’s gazes followed and fell on Zhou Wuji, who was on the table, seemingly stunned after being exposed.

“Young Master Mingxuan, this Zhou Wuji not only deceived us literati and scholars, but also deceived the Seventh Princess, deceived Young Master Mingxuan, and even defiled the ancient sages. With all these crimes, in my opinion, he should be killed!”

In the crowd below, one person looked at Yuwen Mingxuan flatteringly and suggested, like a dog licking.

“That’s right, this kid’s despicable behavior is something I’ve never heard of, he should indeed be executed!”

Someone echoed.

And the Five Directions City County Magistrate, who was at the back of the crowd, had a very panicked expression at this moment.

At first, when he heard Zhou Wuji recite those eternal masterpieces, his heart was simply overjoyed.

Recently, he had been working closely with the Zhou family to suppress the Ning family.

If Zhou Wuji rose to prominence, he would inevitably benefit as well!

However, now.

With Zhou Wuji committing such a crime, the Zhou family would definitely be in trouble, and it would very likely involve him as well!

A few days ago, he had even personally praised Zhou Wuji in front of many people, calling him a rare young talent in Five Directions City!

Although it was just one sentence, if it were to be investigated, he would definitely not have an easy time!

“Young Master Yuwen, this old man also agrees to execute this person! As long as Young Master Yuwen gives the word, this old man will immediately order people to come and drag him out of Wanhua Brothel and behead him tonight!” The County Magistrate stood up in a panic and shouted in a hurry.

Zhou Wuji, who was sitting under everyone’s gaze, slowly raised his head and looked at the people’s reactions, a coldness surging in his eyes.

These people... every single one of them, he remembered!

“Good! Then let’s…” Yuwen Mingxuan’s loud words were not finished when the Seventh Princess next to him hurriedly shouted: “Wait!”

Everyone’s gazes looked at this Princess with a hint of strangeness.

It was also under everyone’s gaze that the Seventh Princess, her mood slightly calmed, said: “The crime Zhou Wuji committed is indeed serious, but isn’t it too much to directly behead him?”

“In my opinion, how about throwing him into the big prison first?”

After the woman’s voice appeared, many people in the venue looked down and remained silent, with only a few speaking.

Yuwen Mingxuan’s expression slightly darkened, but then he chuckled indifferently: “Indeed, then we will follow the Seventh Princess’s instructions.”

“County Magistrate Wu, call people over and directly escort this guy to the big prison. Remember to take good care of him.” The last few words were heavily emphasized by the Man.

“Yes, yes, yes!” The County Magistrate at his position stood up and nodded repeatedly.

Immediately, he looked outside the door, and two constables quickly walked towards the poetry gathering.

Zhou Wuji, who was sitting, was directly restrained by the two constables by his left and right hands, and under the gaze of everyone, he was taken out of Wanhua Brothel in a very sorry state!

For some reason.

Some people’s gazes met Zhou Wuji’s, and they couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts, as if they had seen a terrifying existence that would definitely return strongly!

“Ding ~ Congratulations to the Host, for severely striking the protagonist Zhou Wuji, the Internet System has issued a reward, the reward software — Dial.”

Ye Tian, who had watched the entire play from beginning to end, very straightforwardly issued the reward to this Host.

And Ning Buxiu, who had been in the crowd all along, planning everything, but had not attracted any attention from Zhou Wuji, breathed heavily after hearing the System’s reward.

Dial, does this mean his telephone can make calls?!

This function can be said to be the most important foundation for the production of telephones in modern society!

Only with this function can you say that your jade brick is a telephone!
