Not only Xie Changfeng and others were looking forward to burning down the Hongluan Wenyuan Pavilion, but Ren Tianye was also waiting for it.

However, given his status, there was no need for him to be present in person, so he waited inside the mansion while his personal guards relayed messages one by one.

"Lord Duke, the trial is over. Those who should be sent to the market have been sent to the market, those who should be exiled will be exiled today, and those who should be imprisoned will remain imprisoned."

"Your Excellency, Lord Su Jin and Lord Xu Xia have gone to the Hongluan Wenyuan Pavilion together."

"My lord, something terrible has happened..."

Ren Tianye, who had been watching the news in Pukou City, raised his eyes slightly and asked in surprise, "Something happened?"

"What's wrong now?"

The guard, already drenched in sweat, said, "Near the Hongluan Wenyuan Pavilion, there is a group of people, more than a dozen of them, blocking the way to Lord Su Jin and his entourage."

"Don't let Lord Su Jin and his entourage pass."

"Moreover, they were all holding up flags with messages like 'You can burn the books, but you can't burn the love in my heart.'"

Ren Tianye suddenly stood up.

The surprise in his eyes turned into disbelief!

Is anyone else there?

Wait, why are there still people here?

He deliberately remained inactive, allowing the Huai'an City Love Mutual Aid Alliance to take action, thereby exposing everyone and then arresting them all at once.

How...

Are there still people protecting the Hongluan Wenyuan Pavilion?!

"Let's go take a look!"

Ren Tianye got up and led his personal guards there.

At this moment, Su Jin, Xie Changfeng, Xu Xia, Yun Wanyi, and the others had cold sweat on their foreheads.

The dozen or so people in front of them blocked all the entrances and exits of the Hongluan Wenyuan Pavilion, some kneeling and wailing, others sitting silently and guarding the place, with many flags erected in front of them.

Slogans were written on it.

"Love is innocent, faith is eternal!"

"I don't seek power or influence, but only good relationships!"

"With a frail body, I protect the cultural heritage; with a devoted heart, I safeguard our precious bond!"

"Never shatter your dreams of love, never chill your heart with devotion!"

This scene looks...

They seem determined to live and die together with the Red Phoenix Pavilion!

This terrified everyone.

It wasn't the dozen or so people I was terrified of, but this whole situation...

We put in so much effort, we went through so much trouble, we arrested everyone, and we gathered irrefutable evidence, so why...?

Is anyone else there?

"Clang!"

Xie Changfeng drew his sword directly from his waist, and with a flash of cold light, he strode forward.

"I want to see if they really dare to take my steel knife with their heads!"

As a result, before he even reached those people, they were all terrified and immediately knelt down on the ground with a "thump".

A chorus of pleas for mercy.

"My lord, my lord, we were wrong!"

"General, we dare not do it again."

"General, please don't kill us!"

……

Xie Changfeng was stunned.

Su Jin was stunned.

Xu Xia and Yun Wanyi were also stunned!

No, just a moment ago they were acting like they were going to live and die with the Red Phoenix Pavilion, but before the steel blade even touched them, they immediately backed down and begged for mercy?

What's the point?

Disgusting person.

Most importantly, where did these people come from?

Xie Changfeng hadn't sheathed his sword yet and was about to question them when he suddenly noticed something amiss with the flags.

The slogans, originally as vivid as blood, looked like blood-stained letters from a distance, but upon closer inspection, they were simply written with red paint.

"So, what exactly are these people doing?"

Ding ding ding ding ding...

A series of gong and drum sounds rang out from the right side of the crowd, immediately attracting everyone's attention. They then saw that it was a small opera troupe that had emerged, consisting of only three to five people, but they immediately began to sing.

There was no interaction between the two people common in traditional opera; it was entirely a monologue, with two people each speaking a passage in the style of traditional opera.

……

"My lord, that opera troupe said, said..."

"What did you say?"

Ren Tianye, who was riding a horse, stopped.

"They said..." The guard gritted his teeth and reported, "They said that in your early years, you, Duke, were also deeply in love with a woman, but after being dumped, you turned your love into hatred and took it out on all your love stories."

"And you also said..."

The guard glanced at Wang Ming beside him and said, "They say General Wang Ming writes acrostic poems to Cuihua from his hometown every day. Wang Ming is the one with a hidden love complex!"

"They said you betrayed your love and that burning down the library was to silence you!"

Wang Ming was stunned for a moment.

"I?"

Am I love-struck?

"Still saying the Duke is love-struck?"

Ren Tianye's gaze was cold. He didn't say anything more, patted his horse's rump, and the horse increased its speed, rushing towards the scene.

They arrived shortly afterward and saw that Su Jin and Xu Xia's men had already arrested all the troublemakers.

They are currently being interrogated.

However, as if they were waiting for him, another opera troupe suddenly appeared on the left side of the crowd.

There were still only a few people. Some were setting up their instruments and playing drums and gongs, while others were simply setting up the scene. In the middle, a man and a woman appeared.

The clothes worn by the man and woman were completely different from those worn by everyone else present. They were both wearing short shirts and long pants, plain and simple, yet they looked clean, neat, and extremely bizarre.

However, the clothes worn by these two people made Ren Tianye's body tremble!

The man and woman were wearing...

Sportswear!

Modern sportswear!
