Turning a Blind Eye

"Captain of the city guards? Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion?"

After seeing the faces of the two people clearly, An Rhys's eyes widened instantly, with an incredible expression: "You...how could the two of you end up like this?"

At this moment, he was really shocked.

You know, these two people in front of them, West Lucozia, are both big figures who can call the wind and rain.

No matter where they go, they are always the center of attention and even he has to pay his respects.

He really didn't expect that in just one night, the two powerful ministers would become unkempt prisoners.

"Thorian! You are so naughty!"

After a moment of hesitation, An Rhys suddenly became furious and even changed his way of addressing them: "Do you know what you are doing? These two are West Lucozia's right-hand men! They are the prince's left and right arms! They are also your elders and mentors! How dare you torture them like this? Are you still a human being?!"

"You are right! The two gentlemen have been loyal to their country and their people. What mistakes have they made to deserve such abuse from you, little prince?!"

Many people began to criticize Thorian.

A pillar of the country became a prisoner for no apparent reason. This is intolerable!

Listening to the indignant words of the ministers of remonstrance, the city guard commander and the Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion could not help but look at each other, with a look of astonishment and confusion on their faces.

What's going on?

Are these remonstrants pleading for them? But isn’t the attitude a bit too bad?

After all, they are criminals, can't they just talk to them nicely? Why do you have to make such a fuss?

"How dare you! How dare you insult the young prince? I think you are asking for a fight!"

Wang Mang was instantly furious at the rude remarks of the crowd. He was about to draw his sword, but Thorian raised his hand to stop him.

Putting Wang Mang's knife back into the scabbard, Thorian slowly raised his head and looked at An Rhys with an unusually cold look: "Before you speak, I suggest you use your brain first and think about why I arrested them?"

"Why else? It must be because you are so arrogant and domineering and wrongly harm loyal people!" An Rhys blurted out.

They are wanted for General Long Wei and randomly arresting key ministers. If they continue to do this, West Lucozia will be finished sooner or later!

"Arrogant and domineering? Injustice to loyal people? Haha..."

Thorian suddenly sneered, then looked at the two people in prison uniforms and said indifferently: "Tell me, have I wronged you?"

"No...no." The city guard commander shook his head repeatedly.

"We deserve the punishment for our crimes. It is already a great mercy for the young prince to spare my life!" The Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion looked ashamed.

Compared to the city guard commander, his ending was relatively good. At least he saved his life and his family, and was only dismissed and investigated.

It's a blessing in disguise.

"My lords, did Thorian threaten you?"

An Rhys frowned and continued to ask: "Don't worry, we came here today to get back your rights. If you have any grievances, please speak up boldly. I will personally meet the prince and redress your grievances!"

"I have not been wronged, nor have I been threatened. I have made a big mistake, I deserve to die, and I have brought this upon myself. I cannot blame anyone else." The city guard general had a sad face.

He had committed so many serious crimes that beheading was inevitable.

Now, he just hopes not to implicate his family.

"General, I know you have your difficulties, but please don't be afraid. We have so many colleagues who can support you!" An Rhys said self-righteously.

"That's right! We will definitely clear your name!" All the ministers echoed.

"I have committed serious sins and deserve to be put to death. Please stop talking!" The city guard commander was a little anxious.

Wouldn't it be better to let him die in peace? If we continue to make trouble and anger the young prince, it is possible that his family will be implicated.

"I understand! It must be Thorian who tortured you, otherwise how could you be so determined to die?!" An Rhys looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

"You...you idiots! Can you please stop meddling in other people's business?!" The city guard commander was so angry that he jumped up and down and cursed.

However, in the eyes of An Rhys and others, his reaction was seen as panic and an act of self-preservation out of fear.

"Thorian! What on earth did you do to the two adults? Why do you make them so afraid of you?!" An Rhys turned around and asked angrily.

“Everything I do is done in accordance with the law.”

Thorian said calmly, "The Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion has been dismissed for corruption and abuse of power, but I will not pursue the matter further because he has made a meritorious report. As for the City Guard Commander, he killed innocent people and took human lives lightly, so he should be executed. All the evidence of his crimes has been clearly recorded."

While he was speaking, Wang Mang placed the evidence of the two men's crimes on the table for everyone to see.

Just like before, An Rhys still didn't believe it after reading it: "Ridiculous! Nonsense! The general is the defender of the royal city, how could he knowingly break the law and do such a thing? This is obviously a carefully fabricated false evidence, and it is not convincing at all!"

Hearing this, Thorian was so angry that he laughed.

There was physical evidence, there was witness testimony, and the ironclad evidence of guilt was right before their eyes, yet the other party turned a blind eye to it and stubbornly believed that he was the one framing the loyal and honest people.

He really couldn't understand why such an idiot could still hold a high position?

If the West Lucozia officialdom is full of this kind of garbage, then he should clean it up thoroughly. - Ton
