Chapter 286: Frustrating to Death Without Compensation (3)_1
The words of Di Wu Lin ignited a surge of anger in the hearts of the onlookers, and many commoners cried out, "Burn them, burn them! We’d rather live here forever, never leaving, than become slaves! Your Majesty, please burn them!"
If it weren’t for Di Wu Chang Xin and the Enforcement Team being there, it’s likely they would have already pounced on them and beaten them.
Di Wu Chang Xin waved his hand, and the scene quieted down. He looked at Di Wu Yan and said, "I’m giving you a chance to speak, now speak."
Di Wu Yan opened his mouth, at a loss of what to say. He had indeed been caught at the entrance, and only Di Wu Chang Xin knew about the entrance. As for evidence of Di Wu Lin colluding with outsiders, besides what Di Wu Yan had personally witnessed, there was nothing else.
Dugu Qianye saw that Di Wu Yan was unable to say anything and thought how this naïve child had never considered the possibility that his own brother would set him up to take the fall, allowing the latter to proceed with his plans!
"Since Di Wu Yan said he would acknowledge me as his master if I helped clear his name, then let me help him, may I?" Dugu Qianye asked.
Di Wu Chang Xin, who even while standing on the pyre kept his composure and appeared unfazed, replied, "You may."
Although she had succeeded and Di Wu Yan was about to acknowledge her as his master, as a father, Di Wu Chang Xin would rather have his son alive.
