Xuan Zheng was worried about the poor little Cheng Yu facing so many vicious people, but he also knew that if he showed up, not only would he fail to clear the Lin family's name, but he would also give people something to talk about, making people say that the Lin family relied on his power to take people's lives and force the powerless good people to fight to the death.

Lin Chengyu touched his head and said, "I can do it myself. If you go to the prison and get that person to speak as soon as possible, it will be a great help to me."

A group of people gathered in front of the Lin residence, clamoring for him to come out.

"Let the ruthless Lin Chengyu come out. He beat someone to death for no reason and put the victim in jail. Is there any law in this world?"

"Yes, let him come out, let him come out. We want to see what he looks like. He is so cruel at such a young age."

"Some time ago, someone said that the Lin family was kind and generous. In my opinion, it was just to gain reputation. Maybe it was spread by you Lin family members yourself."

"Yes, the Lin family can raise such a cruel and bloodthirsty demon, and dare to call themselves kind. How shameless."

"Let Lin Chengyu come out, let him come out."

In front of the Lin family's gate, the manager and some strong boys were guarding the door tightly, for fear that the people outside would rush in and break in.

Seeing these people gradually approaching, the manager gripped the stick tightly in his hand, ready to attack.

Lin Chengyu's voice suddenly rang out, "No need to shout, I'm here."

When everyone looked in the direction of the voice, they saw a handsome young man coming towards them surrounded by knife-wielding guards. They were a little confused. The rumored brutal young master of the Lin family did not have a green face and fangs. Instead, he was very graceful and handsome beyond words.

Could this person really be the devil in the rumors?

In the crowd, several people suddenly shouted loudly: "This is Lin Chengyu, everyone go up and catch him, and seek justice for that poor family."

The shouting people looked at the knife flashing with cold light in the guard's hand, without moving a muscle, and only instigated others to step forward.

"So what if they have knives? We are all good citizens. Do they really dare to kill us?"

"Think about it, everyone. That family is so pitiful. If we don't stand up for them, if such a brutal thing happens to us in the future, who will stand up for us and seek justice?"

The crowd suddenly became excited. Yes, if they backed down now, no one would seek justice for them if their families were persecuted in the future.

"Let's go together!"

The slogans are loud, but no one takes the first step.

Lin Chengyu walked to the steward's side under the protection of the guards and said, "Everyone calm down and listen to me."

"Don't listen, this devil is good at using sweet words to deceive people." It was the same voice that incited the people just now.

Lin Chengyu looked at the man and asked, "Do you know me?"

The man raised his head and said angrily, "It doesn't matter whether we know each other or not. We are gathered here today to enforce justice on behalf of heaven, even if it means death."

Lin Chengyu couldn't help but applaud him, "That's very well said, but may I ask this warrior, what crime have I committed that requires you to come here to enforce justice?"

This time it was someone else who spoke. "You took human life lightly. Not only did you kill the parents, you also chopped up their bodies and fed them to the dogs. Your methods are so cruel. Instead of kneeling down and begging for mercy, you even dared to ask us what crime you committed. You really don't know what you are talking about."

The crowd suddenly began to accuse Lin Chengyu.

"It's so cruel. When Old Wang, who lives next door and has been paralyzed for many years, heard about this, he was so angry that he stood up and wanted to come over to denounce this evildoer."

"Yes, yes. I also heard about this from other people. The only son of that couple is still being tortured in prison for avenging them. It is really heartbreaking and makes people cry."

The manager got angry and said, "Our young master is not that kind of person. Where did you hear these rumors? You don't even know whether they are true or not, and yet you dare to come here and shout."

"There is no smoke without fire. You are the dog of the Lin family, so you should protect the Lin family. We don't want to listen to your words, and we dare not believe them. Shut up quickly. If you keep talking nonsense, I will tear your old bones apart."

The manager was very angry, "You..."

Lin Chengyu asked him to calm down and said to the crowd, "The poor man you are talking about is now the assassin who assassinated the prince of the dynasty. You are speaking for him here. I have reason to suspect that you are the assassin's accomplice."

Assassinate the prince? Accomplice?

The people below were horrified. They were all powerless people who came here only to seek justice for the poor family and did not dare to have anything to do with the assassin.

If you are not careful, you may be guilty of a serious crime punishable by the death of your entire clan.

In the crowd, a few men continued to fan the flames as they watched the people around them retreat.

"Don't scare us here. What evidence do you have to prove that we are accomplices of the assassination? It's impossible for us to back down based on your unfounded words. We are not cowards. We will not leave until we get justice for that family today."

"Yes, I won't leave."

Lin Chengyu asked him back: "Then what evidence do you have to prove that I killed that couple?"

The men naturally had no evidence. Being watched by everyone, they got anxious and said without thinking: "You have the nerve to ask us about what you have interrogated. You are a devil. You still don't know how to repent when you are about to die. I think you are the one who should be chopped up and fed to the dogs."

Lin Chengyu suddenly laughed and said to Fourteen beside him: "The man in prison is an assassin. The confessions obtained through interrogation are all confidential. This man knows so much and dares to say that he is not an accomplice. Who would believe him?"

Fourteen nodded his head, looked around at the crowd below, and said, "Did you all hear it? This man confessed himself. If any of you are with him, confess together to avoid trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd suddenly dispersed and distanced themselves from the men who were shouting the loudest.

"I don't know them. I just heard about them from others. I don't know anything."

"Me too. I came here to watch the fun because others told me there was a demon here."

......

The crowd, which was originally filled with righteous indignation, dispersed automatically without waiting for the guards to drive them away, for fear that being associated with the assassin would bring implicate to their entire family.

Lin Chengyu vaguely heard what they were saying about not joining in the fun anymore.

He couldn't help but sneer in his heart, no one would believe this.

Seeing this, several men wanted to run away, but were pinned to the ground by the guards.

Their heads were stomped on the ground, and they were still shouting, "Help, help! The Lin family is killing people again."

But the only response he got was Lin Chengyu's cold words, "Lock them up and interrogate them together. I want to see what tricks the person behind this has."
