The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 448 Bastard
Soon after this person appeared, another person dressed in official robes appeared.

The man, adjusting his official hat, hurriedly apologized, "General, General Zhang, these unruly people are not worth your anger! I will have the yamen runners take them to jail right away!"

General Zhang sneered, "My son was humiliated by them, and all they do is throw him into jail with a casual remark? If the imperial family finds out, Lord Liu's official hat will be in jeopardy!"

Lord Liu secretly groaned inwardly.

They were originally going to the Yongding County government office to see the local magistrate.

General Zhang, however, did not follow the usual path and insisted on going to Nanhe Town first at the crossroads.

Lord Liu was an official of Wangbei County and was assigned by the county governor to accompany General Zhang.

They said they were looking for news of Princess Yongchang.

Princess Yongchang was a title bestowed upon her by the late emperor. She was the daughter of the Duke of Anguo. She was given the title of Princess Yongchang at the first birthday celebration when she was one year old.

She was also the only princess who could have the country's name included in her title. It is said that from childhood, she was loved by the late emperor as a younger sister, and was treated even better than a princess.

Back then, no one could rival Princess Yongchang's popularity.

Moreover, Princess Yongchang was not arrogant because of her favored status; on the contrary, she was exceptional in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and her appearance was also outstanding.

She was also hailed as an unparalleled model of ladylike virtue in the Great Chang Kingdom, and remains a figure of great interest to this day.

Thirty-six years ago, Princess Yongchang went to a banquet at the Duke of Yongguo's mansion and then disappeared.

As a result, the relationship between the Yongguo Duke's Mansion and the Anguo Duke's Mansion deteriorated.

More than 30 years have passed, and a group of people in Wanning City have never given up searching for Princess Yongchang.

They had previously received news that Princess Yongchang's keepsake had appeared in Nanhe Town, so Emperor Minghua immediately sent people over to verify it.

The general sent was a seventh-rank officer who was on good terms with the Duke of Anguo's mansion.

Lord Liu wiped his sweat and said, "General, please leave this to me. I will certainly give you a satisfactory answer! We have arranged a superior room at the Nanhe Inn and a banquet at the Nanhe Restaurant. Please come there—"

"Father, we can't let them get away with this! These scoundrels dared to hurt me!" Young Master Zhang stood up and hurriedly ran towards General Zhang.

General Zhang looked at the boy's outstretched palm, which was red but showed no signs of injury. Still, he was furious: "Arrest these scoundrels! Torture them severely to see if they are spies from the enemy country!"

After he finished speaking, the soldiers behind him went to arrest the man.

The people of Nanhe Town were unhappy.

Some of the bolder people shouted in trembling voices, "Where did you come from, official? How dare you arrest people like this without even knowing the facts?"

"It's clearly your son's fault!"

In fact, the people were already trembling with fear, but they knew that if they didn't speak up now, they would never have the chance again.

They were treated like spies and subjected to severe torture.

How could an ordinary person withstand that?
I'm afraid one lash and the person would be gone.

Since we're going to lose our lives, we definitely have to react.

General Zhang sneered: "You have no choice but to agree!"

"General, wait a moment." Chi Ding, who was originally resting at the Qin family's residence, appeared on the street.

General Zhang looked at him with particular disdain, seeing that he was dressed as an ordinary servant: "Where did you come from, you poor man, to dare to speak to me like that? Kneel down!"

Chi Ding laughed, took out a plaque from his pocket, and with a swift movement, stepped forward and showed it to General Zhang: "General, are you sure you want me to kneel?"

First-class Red-Clad Guard!
Among military officers, his rank was equivalent to that of a fifth-rank commander of a thousand households!
That's a huge leap forward compared to him, a mere seventh-rank general!
"You scoundrels! How dare you distort the truth!" General Zhang roared angrily.

Young Master Zhang's face broke into a wide smile as he interjected, "That's right, you bunch of fools who don't know your own mortality—"

Before he could finish speaking, Young Master Zhang was kicked away and fell to the ground, vomiting a mouthful of blood.

"You bastard, I'm talking about you!"

The people around couldn't help but cover their chests.

My goodness, that must look so painful!
