Rumor? Cutting tongues?
The audience was shaken.
The governor of Silver Plume was like a prime minister. In Silver Plume Planet, his words were considered holy. The gavel of life and death often depended on his decisions.
Other than the Temple, no one else would dare go against what the governor said.
The crowd could feel the hairs on their backs rise.
Every single person at the scene had spoken about the stupid rumor!
The governor may look like just another simple-minded plutocrat, he was actually very shrewd and skilled.
"It looks like all of you are involved in spreading this rumor! Cut off all their tongues!"
"No… No… I never spread this rumor…"
"I've never spoken about that stupid rumor at all!
"Have mercy on me, governor! I have not said anything stupid!"
The crowd was on both their knees this time and they banged their head against the floor, denying their involvement in spreading the rumor.
