It is impossible for a person to come back from the dead, nor is it possible to have two lives in one body, so the only possibility is that the one who was killed yesterday was not Wan Delin, but a scapegoat.This is what is written on the sign, "Stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix".

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" There was an urgent urging voice from the guards behind the crowd. After getting out of the way, Wei Cheng walked down the tower with a sullen face.

It really is Wanderling!

He suppressed the astonishment in his heart and ordered two guards to put Wan Delin down.Immediately afterwards, he went to the bottom of the city tower, and saw the soldiers guarding the east city gate lying on the ground one by one, unconscious.

Master Li stepped forward to check it out.He said in a deep voice, "My lord, I'm afraid they were drugged."

Wei Cheng said coldly, "Go get some water."

Soon, the guard brought a large bucket of water and followed his instructions.poured on the heads of those soldiers.Stimulated by the cold water, those soldiers finally opened their eyes dizzily, and after seeing the person standing in front of them, they quickly got up and saluted.

"what happened?"

Several soldiers glanced at each other.One of them whispered: "The villain doesn't know either. I just remember that around the middle of the night, I smelled a strange fragrance and then lost consciousness. Until..." He glanced at the ugly Wei Cheng, not daring to say anything. go down.

"Useless stuff!" Wei Cheng scolded coldly.

During this period, the guard had brought Wan Delin down and removed the cloth stuffed in his mouth. When he saw Wei Cheng, he hurriedly shouted: "Master Wei, save me!"

After signaling the guards and soldiers to retreat dozens of steps away, Wei Cheng asked with a puzzled face, "What's going on here?"

The fact that others were beheaded instead of Wan Delin was extremely secretive, and only a few people knew about it, and Wei Cheng was not among them.

Wan Delin covered his face, and said eagerly: "It's a long story, but someone hurt me, so let's leave here first."

"Okay." Thinking that his words made sense, Wei Cheng prepared to take him back to Jingzhao Mansion, but was blocked by onlookers, some of whom boldly shouted: "Didn't Wan Delin be beheaded? Why? still alive?"

Wei Chengdao: "He's not Wan Delin, it's a prank!"

As soon as his words fell, someone retorted: "He is Wan Delin, I know him, I can't be wrong!"

Wei Cheng lowered his face and reprimanded: "This official said no, then no, get out of the way!"

After a short period of silence, a voice came from the crowd, "The person who was beheaded yesterday was not Wan Delin at all. What kind of beheading is completely fake. It is really shameless for officials to protect each other!"

"Presumptuous!" Wei Cheng couldn't hold back anymore.He intended to let the guards arrest the person who spoke, but at a glance, there were people everywhere, and he didn't know which one was speaking just now.

While he was searching around.The voice just now rang out again, "I thought Your Majesty was wise and the Third Justice was just, but I didn't expect that the world is as black as crows, and there is no such thing as justice at all. Benevolent Lord, I'm sorry!"

Wei Cheng really panicked now, and shouted with a pale face: "Bold and unreasonable. How dare you disrespect His Majesty, come here, go and arrest him!"

The guards didn't dare to be negligent, and rushed into the crowd immediately, but they didn't even know who the speaker was, so they could only rush randomly in the crowd, causing waves of dissatisfaction.

Looking at the noisy crowd, Master Li said in a low voice: "My lord, the situation is not quite right, let's go back to the yamen first!"

Wei Cheng also had this intention, taking advantage of the people's attention being attracted by the guards, he quietly left with Wan Delin.Until he stepped into the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.Just breathed a sigh of relief.After he regained his composure, he dispatched his irrelevant servants and said to Wan Delin, whose hands and feet were still trembling: "Master Wan, can you speak now?"

Wan Delin swallowed, and said: "I'm telling you the truth. The one who was beheaded on the execution ground yesterday was only a person who somewhat resembles me."

Master Li was also at the execution ground yesterday. He said: "Recalling carefully, the man's face was dirty, and he really couldn't see the exact appearance. From a distance, he only felt like Master Wan, but before the execution, Cheng Langzhong, who was in charge of beheading, once Verification..." Halfway through the sentence, he tightly shut his mouth, and if he wanted to drop a prisoner, the first thing he bribed was the supervisor who was in charge of the body inspection.

Wei Cheng tentatively said, "Is this what Lord Wanhou meant? Then Your Majesty?"

Knowing that he was Ouyang Jie's man, Wan Delin said: "Your Majesty also knows about this matter. I had already left Kaifeng City yesterday, and I was suddenly knocked out while resting at night. When I woke up this morning, I I was hanged on the gate of the city." Having said that, he continued tremblingly: "Now so many people see that I am still alive. Will they really drag me to beheaded?"

Wei Cheng comforted: "Master Wan, don't worry, they are just some ignorant and foolish people, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with, just be afraid..."

Wan Delin asked in a panic: "What are you afraid of?"

Master Xu on the side replied: "I'm afraid that someone will provoke something intentionally, and it will be more troublesome."

Wan Delin immediately thought of the voice he heard at the city gate before. He clenched his hands and said bitterly: "If I want to know who is behind the scenes, I have to peel off their skins!"

Wei Cheng thought for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty must be informed of this matter as soon as possible, Master Li, and ask someone to prepare the sedan chair. Master Wan and I will enter the palace immediately."

Master Li responded, but before he could go down to prepare, an officer walked in quickly, and said anxiously: "My lord, many people have come outside and surrounded our government office. They are very excited and constantly Shouting to let us..." He glanced at Wan Delin and whispered, "Hand over to Master Wan!"

"Bold!" Wei Cheng said with an ugly face, "How dare this group of unruly people besiege Jingzhao Mansion, can't they rebel?"

Wan Delin panicked when he heard that, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Wei, you must never hand me over to them!"

"It's natural!" After reassuring Wan Delin, Wei Cheng walked out with Master Li.As the officer said, there were many people standing outside, and when they saw him coming out, the noisy crowd fell silent.

Wei Cheng glanced coldly, and said in a deep voice: "You are so brave, you dare to come to Jingzhao Mansion to make trouble, do you still have Wang Fa in your eyes? Get back immediately, or don't blame me for being stern and selfless!"

Just when the crowd of onlookers flinched because of his scolding, a sarcastic voice came from behind, "What a stern and selfless man, doesn't Mr. Fu Yin blush when he says that?"

Wei Cheng's eyelids moved slightly. This voice was the one who shouted at the city gate before, and he really came.

"What do you mean by that?" Wei Cheng winked at Master Li while luring the man to continue talking.Master Li understood and left quietly with two servants.

After a moment of silence, the voice sounded again, "Wandlin committed a capital crime and was beheaded yesterday. Many people here saw it. But today he is alive and well. Did he come back from the dead or was he killed?" Who else was beheaded?"
