Honey, you didn't really drugged me, did you?-Chapter 568 - 178 Nan Batian: Where is my wife? Where is my wife? (10,000 characters asking for subscription)

Qimu Ge, seeing the chaos, shouted with all his inner strength, “Everyone stop, Lord Yelu has arrived!”

Upon hearing these words, sure enough, everyone ceased their actions. When the Mulan people saw Yelu’s arrival, led by Old Arutai, they rushed to him, “Lord Yelu, you’ve finally come. You must stand up for us Mulan people. These Han people, they, they are defecating on our heads!”

“Look, my lord, they’ve dug up our graves; they’ve never taken us Mulan people seriously. They, they want the Mulan people to die!”

“Lord, you are the representative of our Mulan people. You cannot ignore this. Last time, you said there wasn’t enough evidence for Chen Jiusi’s case to stand up for us, and we accepted it, but this time, Lord Yelu, look, these coffins all over the ground. Can’t this serve as evidence?”

“Lord Yelu, please stand up for us. If you don’t uphold justice for us this time, then the Han people will bully us to death in the future. My lord… wuu wuu…”

As Old Arutai reached this point, sorrow overcame him, and he began to cry. Yelu also frowned upon hearing this.

As a Darugachi, although he did not care much for the local Mulan people, he could not ignore them, as protecting the local Mulan people was one of the responsibilities of the Darugachi.

Thinking this, Yelu said, “Uncle Arutai, and everyone else, rest assured, we Mulan people are the descendants of the Eternal Heaven and will not be bullied. I will uphold justice for you.”

“Nan Batian!”

Yelu shouted angrily, and at that moment, the Fishing Guild Disciples stepped aside, leaving a path for Nan Batian.

Accompanied by the Gang Leader, Tang Ziyue and Qin Ying approached and greeted, “We pay our respects to Lord Yelu.”

Yelu frowned and said, “Explain yourself?”

Nan Batian gave a wry smile and said, “My lord, it’s like this: today, we did not find any firearms in Chen Jiusi’s coffin, and I foolishly withdrew all the guards from East City, leading to Sun Tiechui and a group of rebels escaping from East City. I had no choice, so upon our analysis, we thought that if firearms were to be smuggled out of the city, the best way would be to use the thirty-six coffins of the Mulan Nobles…”

“We dug up the coffins of the Mulan Nobility in search of the firearms!”

“Bullshit!”

Upon hearing Nan Batian’s words, the Mulan Nobles were absolutely furious. These people had come to dig up the graves of the Mulan people and now falsely accused them of helping the Zoroastrian Sect smuggle firearms.

Do you have no shame at all? We are mortal enemies of the Zoroastrian Sect, which overthrew us. Would we help our enemies transport weapons to attack ourselves?

This is utterly unreasonable.

I think they are just driven mad by poverty, thinking that we, Mulan Nobles, have money and have come to pry open our coffins to steal gold and silver. All these Jianghu guilds are nothing but riff-raff.

Upon hearing Nan Batian’s words, the crowd of Mulan people went mad with insults towards Nan Batian, calling him the lowest of the low, a grave robber, someone whose entire family should die for grave robbing, a grave robber who won’t grow a Little Jiji…

All these insults were hurled, and they were indeed unpleasant to hear.

Nan Batian, having thick skin, only glared at the one who mentioned not growing a Little Jiji, but otherwise showed no reaction.

Lord Yelu also listened to the crowd’s insults, and when they finished their tirade, reaching a small climax, and the pace started to slow down, Yelu raised his hand and said, “Everyone, calm down, let me finish asking!”

Upon hearing these words, the Mulan people also fell silent, allowing Yelu to continue questioning. After all this trouble, they had began to understand who held real power. Yelu had the Army, so he was the true authority.

Thus, their attitude was still quite correct, following Yelu’s command.

Yelu looked at Nan Batian and asked, “You said the people of the Zoroastrian Sect used our Mulan people’s coffins to transport firearms out of the city?”

Nan Batian replied, “Exactly, that’s it.”

Yelu slightly frowned and said, “That’s only your side of the story. Do you have any evidence? Without evidence, I cannot just take your word for it.”

“My lord, look at this arrowhead I discovered by chance.”

As he spoke, Nan Batian handed over an arrowhead that he had already prepared to Lord Yelu.

Taking the arrowhead, Yelu examined it and said, “An arrowhead for a bow. How can this serve as evidence?”

“My lord, this is the firearm transported by the Zoroastrian Sect. This one must have been left behind at the scene. I found it in Tara’s coffin.”

Upon hearing this, Yelu slightly furrowed his brows.

Old Arutai, standing nearby, was also startled. How could such a thing be in the coffin? But even if it was really them who smuggled the firearms out of the city, at this point, they could not admit it.
