Now, he was being criticized and even pointed at by an unknown little character like Lan Wangshu. The anger in his heart suddenly erupted like a volcano, difficult to contain, as if it would burst out at the next moment.
"What a bold dog, how dare you disrespect the county lady? Don't you see who you are? You are just a small guard captain, what qualifications do you have to shout here?" Zhang Cuicui said nothing, stepped forward, raised her hand and gave the guard captain two crisp and loud slaps. Then, she retreated to her original place as if nothing had happened, stood dignifiedly, and her skirt didn't even sway, as if everything just now was just an illusion.
The guard's face was scorched and it hurt so much that he was stunned for a moment. After a long while, he finally woke up as if from a dream. A feeling of humiliation surged in his heart, making his face look extremely ugly. The butler, who was not far away, seemed to want to say something, but after hesitating for a long time, he finally chose to remain silent.
"You...how dare you slap me in the face? You are an ignorant woman and you are simply lawless! Today I will let you see how capable I am and why I can become the captain of the guards!" The captain of the guards was furious. His voice trembled with anger and his eyes flashed with rage.
The guard's face flushed with shame and anger. He was furious and reached out to grab his scabbard, but it was empty. He suddenly felt an indescribable anger in his heart. He realized that his sword had been taken away by the tree in the previous battle. At this moment, he was unarmed and extremely passive.
Thinking of this, the guard captain's face became even gloomier. He gnashed his teeth, his heart filled with resentment, and he simply wanted to tear the other party into pieces. Today, he must make the other party pay the price and vent his anger.
His eyes flashed with a sinister light, and he moved back and forth between the tree and Zhang Cuicui, as if he was weighing something. Finally, he quickly pulled out the knife of his companion and rushed towards Zhang Cuicui without hesitation.
"Wow!"
"ah……"
The crowd around them all cried out in surprise and gasped. Their eyes were fixed on the guard and Zhang Cuicui like hawks, not even daring to blink, for fear of missing any moment. Some people were so nervous that they closed their eyes, as if they didn't dare to watch the bloody scene that might happen next; others clenched their hands and silently prayed for Zhang Cuicui, hoping that she would be safe.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment. Everyone held their breath, prayed silently in their hearts, and waited for the judgment of fate.
However, Zhang Cuicui still had a smile on her face and looked at the captain guard approaching with firm eyes. Her body did not move and she did not take the other person seriously at all, as if telling everyone that she was not afraid at all.
"Tsk~" Dashu sneered, and he kicked the guard out. Dashu had been with Lan Wangshu for a long time, and he had acquired some bad tastes. He didn't take a small character like the guard seriously. Then, he took Cuicui's hand and asked with concern, "Are you okay, Cuicui? Did I scare you just now?"
Zhang Cuicui shook her head gently and replied with a smile: "I'm fine, Brother Dashu. With you here, I'm not afraid of anything." Her voice was calm and firm, making people feel her inner strength.
The two of them gazed at each other lovingly, their eyes full of love, as if the whole world only belonged to them two. This scene made the guard lying on the ground tremble with anger. His face became hideous due to anger, his lips twitched involuntarily, and the anger in his heart burned fiercely.
The butler's face gradually became gloomy. He clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on his forehead bulged, as if he was trying his best to endure something. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and shouted angrily: "Come on, do it!"
At this moment, the housekeeper no longer cared about his face and the consequences. He decided not to worry about Lan Wangshu anymore. Since things had come to this point, he might as well break off relations completely. Upon hearing the sound, dozens of people behind them drew their knives in unison, flashing cold lights that made people shudder.
Just as they were about to approach Zui Fusheng, a deep male voice suddenly rang out. "Stop! What are you doing? How dare you attack the county lord in broad daylight? Are you trying to defy the imperial power? Are you tired of living?"
Hua Qiming was wearing a white robe with bamboo leaves embroidered on it with silver thread. He was holding an ivory fan in his hand, looking elegant and graceful, like an immortal. When the housekeeper saw that it was Hua Qiming, he secretly complained in his heart. He knew that today's matter would not be resolved peacefully, and a fierce conflict was inevitable.
"Prime Minister Hua, today the Wen family must settle things with the county princess. This matter concerns the life of our third young master. I hope Prime Minister Hua will give us some convenience." The person who spoke spoke earnestly, his face full of anxiety, with veins bulging on his forehead, as if he had placed all his hopes on the person in front of him.
"I can understand that, but if we act so hastily, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. Why don't I publicly try this case in front of all the villagers today?" Hua Qiming said slowly with a faint smile on his lips. He looked calm, as if he was just talking about a very ordinary matter, but there was a firmness in his eyes.
The butler's face became increasingly ugly. He bit his lip and said in a slightly low voice: "Prime Minister Hua, this is our Wen family's family affair after all. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to act in this way." Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he was still very respectful to Hua Qiming.
"Not right? You know, the county lady is a person of high rank, and was personally appointed by His Majesty. How can you convict her just by saying something casually?" Hua Qiming's face suddenly changed, his smile instantly withered, his face was as gloomy as water, and his tone was filled with unquestionable majesty. After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a group of people rushed out from behind him, surrounding the Wen family and Zui Fusheng.
"Since your Wen family is the victim, then explain the whole story first and produce the evidence!"
Hua Qiming stood between the two groups, impartial, and his attitude left the Wen family speechless. The chief guard and the housekeeper looked at each other, helpless, and had to follow Hua Qiming's wishes.
"My young master mysteriously disappeared last night. When he was found today, his body was already cold and lifeless. Today, our Wen family must track down the real culprit and avenge the young master!" said the housekeeper in tears, his face full of grief that was difficult to conceal, and tears rolled down like a flood.
"Oh? If this is true, we should investigate it thoroughly."
