[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Faced with the soldiers kowtowing and begging for mercy, Princess Anyang showed no mercy.

"Who just injured the lady?" asked Princess Anyang in a faint voice.

After these words were spoken, no one responded.

But the leading sergeant shuddered.

At this moment, Yun Luo took two steps forward, bowed to Anyang County Lady, pointed at the leading soldier and said, "Sister County Lady, he was the one who injured Grandmother. He brought all these people here. He even almost strangled my eldest brother to death."

The leading sergeant was sweating profusely and his face was pale.

"Moqi, kill him." The Princess of Anyang County ordered coldly.

"Yes." Moqi stepped forward quickly, and with a turn of her wrist, a dagger as thin as a cicada's wing appeared in her hand.

"Princess, please spare me! I didn't mean to cause trouble! I was also instructed by someone!" The leading soldier was so frightened when he saw the dagger that was made into a beautiful shape by Moqi that he hurriedly excused his greed.

However, this is not entirely an excuse. Someone had indeed sent him here, otherwise, how would he know that the people from Shun'an Marquis's Mansion lived here? And how would he know that these people were carrying a lot of valuables?

Princess Anyang raised her hand to stop Moqi and looked at the leading soldier with interest. "Oh, I'm curious, who sent you here? You dared to touch the people in Shun'an Marquis' Mansion even though I'm protecting you. You must be someone powerful!"

The leading soldier kowtowed again and said in panic, "It's Wu Huan. He works in the Imperial Guards. He doesn't have any backers.

"When he followed Eunuch Liu to search the Shun'an Marquis's Mansion today, he saw the criminals in the Shun'an Marquis' Mansion leaving with a large amount of property, so he became interested.

"It was he who found out where these people were staying and secretly informed me to bring people to recover the property. He also said that after the property was recovered, he would only take 20% and the rest would be divided among us. That's why we came.

"Princess, please spare me! I was blinded by money and was bewitched by Wu Huan!"

The Princess of Anyang County nodded and told Qi Mo, "Go there. Don't let Wu Huan live until dawn."

"Yes." Moqi responded and left the inn.

"County Lady, would it be a bad idea to do this?" Rong Enqing was a little worried.

Princess Anyang smiled indifferently, "Don't worry, Madam. I know what's going on."

As he spoke, he looked at the leading sergeant again: "Choose for yourself, two hands? Or death?"

The leading soldier's eyes widened in horror. "Princess, I have already confessed the mastermind behind this..."

"It is precisely because you confessed the mastermind that I gave you the power to choose. I crippled your hands to let you know that you should not have thoughts that you should not have. Don't take things that you should not take."

"Thank you, my Lord, for sparing my life!"

The leading sergeant bowed his head and thanked him with a trembling voice, but deep hatred was boiling in his eyes.

Soon, the picture book started.

Like Moqi, she uses a dagger.

In the blink of an eye, the leading sergeant's wrist tendons were cut before he could even feel the pain.

It wasn't until he lost control of his hands that he curled up his arms and collapsed to the ground in pain.

The others were so frightened when they saw this that some couldn't stand it anymore and stood up and tried to run away.

However, before they could run out of the inn, they were kicked back one by one by Ruhua who was guarding the door.

The Princess of Anyang County did not want to get entangled with these people any more, so she ordered in a cold voice: "Everyone, cripple your right hands. The one who just teased the Madam, cripple both hands."

Ruhua was guarding the gate, Tingqin was protecting Princess Anyang, and Huishu took action. In a short while, eight soldiers fell to the ground, hugging their arms and wailing in pain.

"Why don't you get out of here?" Princess Anyang frowned unhappily and scolded, "You're such an eyesore!"

The soldiers did not dare to stay any longer. They endured the pain, got up, and staggered out of the inn.

"County Lady, is this not a good idea?" Rong Enqing looked at Anyang County Lady worriedly, "After all, they are government officials. If you resort to private punishment like this, will it cause trouble if it gets out?"

Princess Anyang smiled and said, "I did it on purpose. I will have to stay in the capital for a long time. I don't want to have a second experience like Liang Yulan. So, killing a chicken to scare the monkeys and establish my authority is not a bad thing for me."

Rong Enqing knew what Princess Anyang meant. She had no father or mother, and the only thing that could frighten those with ill intentions was her thunderous methods and her fierce reputation. But, "Aren't you afraid that the emperor would blame you if he knew?"

Princess Anyang smiled bitterly, then stopped smiling and said seriously, "As long as it's not treason, no matter what I do, the emperor won't blame me."

When these words were spoken, Rong Enqing was shocked. What did this mean?

Princess Anyang looked around and stood up and said, "I'll take the Madam back to her room to rest. The doctor will come and see the Madam and the young marquis later. I'll take you out of the city after daybreak."

Rong Enqing knew that Princess Anyang wanted to talk to her alone.

So he nodded and stood up with difficulty.

The next moment, she was picked up like a princess.

Rong Enqing was startled, and turned around to see Tingqin looking at her with a smile on her face, "Don't be afraid, Madam. I am very strong and will not let you fall."

Rong Enqing smiled awkwardly at Tingqin, then thought of something and asked hurriedly, "Wasn't Miss Tingqin in the mansion when the imperial guards came to search it? How could those imperial guards let you leave?"

At that time, Tingqin took ten people from the County Lord's Mansion to help Shun'an Marquis Mansion. Before they could leave, the Imperial Guards arrived. Tingqin and his men were also trapped in the Marquis Mansion. Although they repeatedly stated that they were not from the Marquis Mansion, no one listened.

Rong Enqing was in a hurry and didn't pay any attention to them.

However, even if Rong Enqing took care of it, he would probably not be able to get the Imperial Guards to let them leave.

Tingqin explained: "The guards did not allow us to leave. It was only when the county lord and princess came that the guards let us go."

Speaking of this, Tingqin added: "The princess asked the imperial guards to release Mr. Zhong as well."

Ms. Zhong was the female teacher that Rong Enqing hired for Yun Luo. But I forgot about her.

"Thank you, Princess." Rong Enqing expressed his sincere gratitude.

"You're too polite, ma'am."

Soon, Rong Enqing was carried back to the room and placed on the bed.

Tingqin retreated obediently.

Only Rong Enqing and Princess Anyang were left in the room.

The Princess of Anyang County then said, "Madam, do you know how unpredictable people's hearts are in this world?"

Rong Enqing was stunned, not knowing why Princess Anyang suddenly said this.

The next moment, Princess Anyang's eyes were red.

"Madam, do you know how my parents died?"

"Didn't they say she died in battle against foreign invaders?" As soon as he said that, Rong Enqing thought of the identity of the daughter of the Yuan family and asked in surprise, "Could it be that Yang Wei and the Yuan family killed her?"

Yang Wei and his wife were the adoptive parents of Princess Anyang, and they had treated Princess Anyang as their own daughter since she was a child. It was normal for them to find it hard to accept the truth after suddenly knowing it.

However, Princess Anyang shook her head and said, "My parents were indeed killed by Yang Wei and his wife. But the real mastermind behind the scenes was not Yun Yi, but His Majesty!"
