Hua Wushang also looked towards the crowd; there was not a single person from Prince Shun's Mansion. A hint of relief flashed across Hua Wushang's eyes.
It seemed that even Feng Bailing was powerless this time.
"Bring people forward to confirm the identity."
Hua Wushang gave the order. Several guards stepped forward to conduct the check and then reported.
"Reporting to my lord, the prisoner is indeed Dugu Wu."
Hua Wushang was about to order the execution when suddenly the crowd parted.
Feng Zao and his brother Feng Wan quickly stepped forward with someone in tow and shouted.
"Spare the man under the knife."
Feng Zao stepped forward and spoke gravely.
"My lord Prince is wronged; it was not our lord Prince who attempted to assassinate the Crown Prince."
Hua Wushang scrutinized the two brothers for a moment, seemingly surprised, realizing there were still fish that slipped through the net, especially the person behind them.
