"Even if you are the King of Jin, you can't act recklessly. What evidence do you have to prove that those are the servants of our Cheng family? Maybe they were biting randomly and someone else framed our master."

As soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Jiyuan looked at her and scolded: "Shut up!"

He finally understood why his little daughter was so stupid. Her feelings were all because of this ignorant woman.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for your ignorance."

"You keep asking me to forgive you. Cheng Shangshu, do you know that all the things you have done are enough to go to Dali Temple?"

During this back-and-forth conversation, Cheng Jiyuan became more and more unable to hold himself tight. The cold sweat on his head seeped out bit by bit, and even the clothes on his back became wet.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know that my servant has become so arrogant. I will strictly control him in the future."

"Strict control is enough? Do you know that the owner of the bakery lost his life?"

"What?"

Cheng Jiyuan raised his head sharply, his face turned pale with fear.

There was a life-and-death lawsuit, and if Ning Huaizhao really wanted to intervene in his case in front of the emperor, he would be the one to blame.

"Your Majesty, it's all Xiaguan's fault. Xiaguan will give the bakery owner a good burial and appease his family."

Ning Huaizhao curled his lips sarcastically, just because he wanted to spend some money to suppress the matter, but he would not give Cheng Jiyuan this chance.

"I'm afraid this is far from enough."

As Ning Huaizhao said, Qiulin came back, followed by three or four people, all dressed as ordinary people, some men and some women.

"Master, we have found out clearly that the servants of the Cheng Mansion are roaming the countryside and doing many evil things. They were restrained at first, but Cheng Shangshu did not control them, and the subordinate officials did not dare to act rashly."

When the common people saw this important official, they quickly stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and shouted grievances at him.

"Master Qingtian, Master Qingtian, you make the decision for us."

"It's all them, the evil servants of the Cheng family who harmed my daughter."

"They separated our family and my son is still missing."

"And my legs. Master Qingtian, look at them. My legs were broken by them. Now I am a cripple and I can hardly live my life anymore."

The bloody and tearful accusations made Cheng Jiyuan sweat more and more on his back.

Cheng Liang was kneeling next to her, feeling a little uneasy. She couldn't help but stand up, pointed at the people who came to redress their grievances, and cursed: "You short-lived people, who can't live a peaceful life, actually came to frame my master. We

Are you worthy of stepping on the threshold of the dignified Shangshu Mansion?"

"If something happens to our master, your lives won't be enough to compensate."

Cheng Jiyuan closed his eyes, and his low voice was full of anger and disappointment: "Stop talking, kneel down!"

"I won't kneel, I won't kneel."

Mrs. Cheng Liang was like one of those mischievous shrews who suddenly sat on the ground and started crying without caring about her manners.

"Even the prince can't just accuse people casually. Ouch, our Cheng family has been so wronged. We were all wronged by these unruly people, and some people refused to uphold justice for us."

When the people nearby heard Cheng Liang's shouting, they naturally refused to do anything.

"You...your life is life, isn't it ours?"

"That is, if you, the Cheng family, have done such a great evil, you will not die in peace!"

"Who are you talking about? Who are you talking about not having a good death? Our master is a minister and our daughter is a noble concubine. If you say that, you will be beheaded!"

There were noisy noises, shouts and curses, and it was a chaotic mess.

Seeing this scene, Ning Huaizhao's eyes fell into ridicule and he glanced at Cheng Jiyuan. This old immortal was so shrewd that no one would catch such a handle. His shocked look did not seem like he knew anything about it.

However, it is uncertain whether it has anything to do with this Cheng Liang family. If she did it, Cheng Jiyuan would not be able to escape the blame.

Ning Huaizhao couldn't help but think of what Chi Wanyue said, and his eyes lost a bit of coldness and took on a hint of warmth.

The little girl was really right. The Cheng family is really a bunch of stupid people. No matter how smart Cheng Jiyuan is, he can't resist the stupidity of his bedfellow and his little daughter.

They are stupid, just right.

Ning Huaizhao took a sip of tea, and the rim of the teacup covered the raised corners of his lips.

Cheng Jiyuan finally couldn't bear it anymore and slapped Cheng Liang's face with a deep voice, suppressing his anger: "Shut up!"

Cheng Liang's half-upright body was knocked to the ground. She covered her face and looked at Cheng Jiyuan in disbelief. Her eyes were filled with shock and a bit of fear: "Old... Master..."

Cheng Jiyuan's face was red with anger, and his whole body was unstable and even shook a few times.

Looking at this scene, Ning Huaizhao sneered and said something, his voice was unhurried and pointed.

"Cheng Shangshu can't even manage his own house, how can he manage such a large military department?"

Cheng Jiyuan's heart skipped a beat.

Ning Huaizhao was clearly trying to beat him up. It wasn't enough that the shop was closed down a few days ago, but now he was hit hard by the servant's evil deeds.

But this ignorant and stupid woman didn't know what to do and actually made a fuss in front of Ning Huaizhao. Isn't this giving someone a thumbs up?

Sure enough, Ning Huaizhao's eyes fell on Cheng Liang.

"Cheng Shangshu, who insults court officials, may be punished with a rod or imprisoned."

Hearing this, Cheng Jiyuan softened his legs and knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, forgive me, it's..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ning Huaizhao.

"I have heard enough of the word "forgiveness" today. Qiu Feng Qiu Lin, pull Mrs. Cheng down and give her twenty punishments with a cane!"

"yes."

Mrs. Cheng Liang's face turned pale with fright. Seeing the people next to her come to pull her away, she danced and pushed them away, shouting loudly.

"Go away, let me see who of you dares to pull me, I... my daughter is a noble concubine..."

"Prince Jin, Prince Jin cannot abuse lynching. Ning Huaizhao, aren't you afraid that the emperor will punish you?"

It was too late for Cheng Jiyuan to plead for mercy, but Cheng Liang's attack was as fierce as a tiger's. He was so angry that his blood pressure rose, and he wished he could pass out and fall unconscious right now.

Ning Huaizhao narrowed his eyes and said in a sonorous tone: "If you refuse to repent and dare to do evil by taking advantage of the emperor's favor, I will give you ten more sticks!"

Cheng Liang's yelling was of no use at all, so he was pulled down and punished with a cane.

Ning Huaizhao's eyes fell on Cheng Jiyuan, and he curled his lips coldly: "Take Cheng Shangshu into custody, and wait until I report it to the Emperor Ming. The three departments will review it and give you justice."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Qingtian."

The people clapped their hands and celebrated, with smiles and hope on their faces.

"Autumn wind, take the people down and resettle them."

"yes."

The autumn wind took them out.

Ning Huaizhao sat on his seat with a lazy posture, raised his hand to pick up the tea cup and took a sip.

He raised his eyes to look at Qiulin and winked.

Qiulin understood, and when escorting Cheng Jiyuan out, he deliberately stretched out his foot to trip him.
