C497 Truth Disclosure (2/2)

Qing Xun walked in front of Feng Qing under the gaze of the crowd and greeted his, ”Your Highness, this humble subject was busy with some urgent matters in the study earlier, so I came late. I have to trouble you to take charge of the situation.”

”It's fine.” Feng Qing said. At this moment, it was not the time for him to completely fall out with the other party. Naturally, he would not bring embarrassment upon himself.

Hearing Feng Qing's words, Qing Xun continued, ”Then Your Highness, please give this subject some time. Let me first explain this to these people so as to not hurt their hearts.” Qing Xun continued speaking.

Feng Qing nodded. He patiently said, ”Alright, I would also like to hear your explanation.”

When Qing Xun heard this, he faintly smiled. He looked at the crowd and said: ”Everyone, this matter …. I'm sorry, I know. ”

When these words were spoken, the crowd burst into an uproar.

At the side, even Ling'er's expression changed as she gripped the longblade in her hand tightly.

”What kind of joke is this!”

In the crowd, someone threw a rock over.

”We trust you so much.”

”Exactly!”

”You piece of trash!”

Everyone cursed Qing Xun as if they wanted to kill him. Qing Xun didn't dodge, only allowing them to smash onto his body. After a while, these people seemed to be relieved of their anger. Qing Xun's body was also dripping with blood.

Seeing such a limpid appearance, everyone was stupefied.

”Everyone, I am indeed trash, and I do deserve to be beaten. As a citizen of Peony City, I wasn't able to protect the city. As the mayor, I wasn't able to restore peace to everyone. I... At the beginning of his term in office, when he saw this scene, he was just as furious as everyone else.

However, the people from the six families trapped me in the City Lord's Mansion. The only thing I can do is to make you suffer less and not be controlled. All these years, as the City Lord, I have tried countless times to reveal these things. However, the moment they are revealed, my Peony City will fall apart. As the City Lord, I cannot do it.

I am a weak man, and it is only right that you wait to kill me. ”

Qing Xun's attitude was sincere, and when he looked at these people, his expression was one of unprecedented seriousness.

After everyone heard this, they all began whispering amongst themselves.

”City Lord, if you have any difficulties, please tell us!”

”These people... What are you going to do? ”

”What should we do in the future!?”

Many women in the crowd shouted.

Qing Xun was extremely popular in Peony City. As the City Lord, he was clean and sincere, and he loved his wife deeply. He was very handsome. It could be said to be perfect. Naturally, there would be many supporters.

Qing Xun's face still revealed a bitter smile, ”Peony City, from a long time ago, was Sin City. Not long after I found out about these things, I became the city lord. I tried to destroy them, but I couldn't.

I also tried to seek help from the royal family, but before the letter could reach the royal family, it was intercepted and left behind. My Peony City... This was a place that had been abandoned. I can't do anything but limit these people.

Now that His Highness the Crown Prince has come and exposed this matter to us, as the mayor, I can finally be convicted. It's better than anything. ”If possible, I hope that I can die in this land and make amends for the people underground.”

His tone was so gentle.

After everyone heard this, they all fell silent.

When Mu Ru Yue and the others heard Qing Xun's words, they nearly fell to the ground.

”It's all thanks to him.” Bai Yu clicked his tongue. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that Qing Xun would lie at a time like this.

”Naturally. After all, the slaves under the ground will all stand on his side. ” Jun Ruo said with a pained expression.

”Oh?” White Mirrorjade was slightly puzzled. This was something he really didn't expect. He was wondering how Qing Xun was going to get out of this predicament.
