Feng Aotian is the protagonist? Take it!

In other words, she will have a lot of say in the future.

Look at Xi Lan's determined and confident cherry eyes, her majestic and heroic temperament, and her sacred image in white.

People subconsciously believed that Xi Lan's identity and status were not simple, and she must be the eldest daughter of some wealthy family.

If this survey can provide feedback on public sentiment and there is a chance that the empire's laws can be amended, everyone will be very willing to cooperate with Xi Lan.

Seeing that no one objected, Xi Lan continued:

"According to the current laws of the Empire, child abduction and human trafficking are punishable by a three-year prison sentence. I do not agree with this!"

After hearing Xi Lan's words, everyone agreed.

The sentence is too light.

In the Dukedom, although not every family loses a child, they are all worried that they will be the next one.

All day long, not only the parents but also the children are worried.

"The death penalty must be imposed!"

"There is no difference between child trafficking, human trafficking and murder! The death penalty must be imposed!"

"That's right! I want you to tear your body into pieces!"

Xi Lan, who was standing on the podium, could clearly see that the people who were shouting were very angry.

If nothing unexpected happens, they are the victim's family.

Seeing their expressions and haggard demeanor, Xi Lan could understand their feelings and biased remarks very well.

but···

“I don’t agree with your remarks.”

After hearing Xi Lan's speech, the shouting people were stunned for a moment and even doubted their own ears.

Didn’t she just disagree with the three-year prison sentence?

When it comes to the death penalty, why does she disagree?

Just as the people were puzzled, Xi Lan continued:

"Have you ever thought about what would happen to their families if they were executed?"

After these words were spoken, people probably understood what Xi Lan meant.

She felt that the imperial law was too harsh!

Is she on the side of the traffickers?

At this moment, a famous mother shouted excitedly: "Who cares about their family! When they kidnapped my son! Did they ever think about how painful I was!? Ah——!"

Hearing the mother's hoarse screams and her almost crazy and collapsed expression, the emotions of tens of thousands of people were instantly ignited.

"Since their family can produce such a scum, they are not good people either!"

"That's right! People from the same family stick together!"

"Whose side are you on? Tell us clearly!"

Feeling the angry gazes of tens of thousands of people, Xi Lan, who was standing on the podium, was very nervous. Her violently beating heart made her feel suffocated.

As the daughter of the fox clan lord, Xi Lan was not stage-frightened, but this was her first time experiencing such a situation.

The enormous pressure made Xi Lan's whole body stiff, and she could only force herself not to tremble.

"..."

At this moment, she thought of Zhang Liang and what happened in Maze Town.

Is this the pressure he's been under?

So heavy...

I really want to escape...

Zhang Liang frowned as he watched Xi Lan slowly move backwards.

Can't she handle this little bit of pressure?

Seeing this scene, an option that he had not considered before came to Zhang Liang's mind.

Suddenly, he felt something was wrong.

Did fate want her to escape and avoid her own doom?

Got it!

If Xi Lan withdraws at this time, in order to rally the public's sentiments against the human traffickers, the next steps will have to be taken by herself. By then...

The situation will become uncontrollable.

However, just when Zhang Liang was sweating profusely in anxiety, Xi Lan's expression suddenly changed, and she used her toes to support her body as she tried to retreat.

Can't escape!

She clenched her fists, and the confusion in her eyes disappeared.

If I run away here, how can I stand by Zhang Liang in the future!

Zhang Liang is the son of misfortune. He has been living under such tremendous pressure until now. If I can't even bear this, how can I repay him in the future! ?

Thinking of Zhang Liang's dedication to her, Xi Lan took a deep breath, raised the megaphone to her mouth, and said loudly:

“Child trafficking is inhumane, but the law cannot be more inhumane!”

When these words were spoken, the people were stunned for a moment, and then the curses came like a mountain torrent and tsunami.

"Do you want to listen to what you are saying?"

"Who the hell is so inhumane! Do you know how hateful they are!? Damn!"

"Where did you come from, you saint? It's because of people like you that they can be so rampant!"

"If you don't have any children, stop talking nonsense! Get out of here!"

Everyone could see Xi Lan's position, and it was obvious that she was speaking for the human traffickers.

In the dukedom where children frequently disappeared, saying such words to the people was simply adding fuel to the fire.

At this moment, they were extremely angry and even threw garbage at the podium.

“Get out!!!”

“Get out!!!”

“Get out!!!”

Seeing the people's reaction, Zhang Liang, who was hiding in the background, muttered again:

"It seems that even if you have the halo of a protagonist, as long as you say the wrong thing and stand on the opposite side of the public, you will still be criticized."

Hearing the people's shouts, a man hurriedly ran out of the Duke's Palace and rushed towards the podium.

This man, Yu Jiang, was the former garrison general of the Duke's territory and is now the general-in-chief.

"What are you doing! Get out of here!"

At this time, the people were very excited, and some people planned to climb onto the podium and beat Xi Lan up.

Xi Lan is alone on the left, and the angry crowd is on the right.

Yu Jiang judged that Xi Lan's situation was very dangerous and planned to take her away first.

However, just as the two sides were about to make contact with Xi Lan, she raised her voice and shouted into the loudspeaker:

"My suggestion! Just execute the entire family! Let their family be reunited!"

"..."

Suddenly, the scene became silent.

Not only General Yu Jiang, but even the people who had half a leg on the podium were stunned.

"Do you agree or not?"

"Ah this..."

It was obvious that Xi Lan's words had made people's brains boil.

Half an hour passed.

They finally reacted and roared in their hearts:

"Fuck! I thought she was a living Bodhisattva, but she turned out to be a living King of Hell!"

but!

This is exactly what I want.

The people shouted:

"agree!!!"

"Just do it!!!"

"The scourge must be eradicated completely!!! Uproot it!!!"

After several repeated attempts, the public's emotions towards human traffickers were successfully brought to the zero point.

When Zhang Liang saw this, the corners of his mouth curled up.

In this way, as long as the plan proceeds as originally planned, the character of Duke Longtao will completely collapse, causing public outrage.

"Miss, what exactly do you want to do?" Yu Jiang asked Xi Lan.

Xi Lan did not answer Yu Jiang's words, but continued to speak to the people:

"I heard that many children were kidnapped here. As it happens, I know a legendary figure who was once kidnapped by human traffickers and hates them very much. Now he has become an expert in this area and has destroyed their dens several times!"

After finishing speaking, Xi Lan paused for a moment to observe the reactions of the people.

She glanced at the people, and they swallowed and waited calmly for her next words.

Xi Lan could tell from the expressions and eyes of the people that they were all looking forward to this person's appearance.

Then, Xi Lan turned sideways, pointed to the backstage, made an inviting gesture and said:

"Let us invite our investigation expert, Mr. Qin Shi Huang, to the stage!"

Hearing Xi Lan's words, Zhang Liang, wearing a black mask and a black cloak, walked out from the backstage and came to the podium waving his hand.

When Yu Jiang saw Zhang Liang's attire, his heart skipped a beat. He immediately remembered Ouyang Shuo's words and his eyes widened.

Could he be the mysterious masked man who ambushed Lord Ouyang Shuo! ?

Section 1#Volume 3: Change of Rank: Chapter 398: The Helplessness of Fate (Two Chapters in One)

Zhang Liang waved his cloak and stood on the podium like a king.

He glanced at the people from behind the mask, observing their expressions.

It can be seen that they just feel that they are a little suspicious and do not have much hostility.

This is also normal, after all, he is wearing a mask.

Overall, the results were pretty good.

According to previous situations, as long as Xi Lan does something wrong and arouses public anger, she will still suffer the same fate.

They might even be beaten by the public.

That's good data.

In the first phase of testing, all the data that needs to be collected has been collected, and the next step is the second phase.

How would the public’s reaction change if I appeared after Xi Lan?

With Xi Lan's good start, Zhang Liang didn't believe that the situation would take a turn for the worse.

"I···"

however.
