She took the initiative from the very beginning, used force to intimidate, took control of the initiative, and forced everyone to follow her pace.

He talked about the national laws and asked three questions in a row, each word of which was piercing, exposing the selfishness of these students.

What are they? Don't they think others don't know? The sit-in is just to blackmail the king.

Ning Zhiwei's few simple words, using both the stick and the carrot, immediately divided the group of people.

Fang Jiashu was the first to stand up and said, "Your Majesty, I know nothing about this. Hu Wenjin was the leader.

Others followed suit, "Yes, it was Hu Wenjin. He was the one who held Madam Ning hostage. It has nothing to do with us."

"Hu Wenjin, it was your idea to sit in silence and to hold the old lady hostage. You didn't even discuss it with us in advance. You really screwed us over."

"Hu Wenjin, this was all your elaborate conspiracy from the beginning. We are all your pawns. I will never reconcile with you."

"Hu Wenjin, why don't you let go of Madam Ning? If you want to die, don't take us with you."

Once something happens to Madam Ning, all students will be implicated.

Everyone was distancing themselves from the matter. Hu Wenjin's heart tensed and his face looked extremely ugly.

"Your Majesty, as long as you deal with Rong Jing, I will release Madam Ning."

"Think carefully, would you choose a man or your family who have been so kind to you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces turned unhappy.

There are traps everywhere. How can one answer? No matter what choice one makes, it will be wrong.

After dealing with Rong Jing, he cut off one of his arms.

If she chooses to protect Rong Jing, she will become a foolish woman who mindlessly protects a man. How can she be an emperor?

Ning Zhiwei narrowed his eyes dangerously. Is there no one in this world who cares?

A clear voice rang out, "You are so outrageous. I don't know if Lord Rong is guilty or not, but you are openly forcing the emperor, abusing your power for personal gain, and attempting to override the imperial power. This despicable behavior must not be tolerated."

A little girl with two buns appeared out of nowhere, with a stern face, and shouted loudly.

"If you succeed, this kind of thing will happen again and again, and there will be no peace. Your Majesty, for the sake of the peace of the empire, you must not compromise with such a person."

Madam Ning, who had had her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes when she heard the voice. It was her!

Hu Wenjin frowned, "Who are you? How dare you interrupt me?"

The girl was young but very brave. "I am Ning Yuanxi, the eldest daughter of the Ning family. The person you are holding hostage is my great-grandmother."

"I swear here, if you hurt my great-grandmother even a finger, I will kill your entire Hu family."

The expressions of the women in the Ning family were extremely complicated. The next generation of their Ning family had finally grown up, but she was only ten years old.

Hu Wenjin was surprised. "Your Ning family has always been full of benevolence and morality, which is hypocritical. Old Madam, how do you feel when you hear your great-granddaughter say this?"

Madam Ning was in a complicated mood. "I'm very happy that the next generation of the Ning family is so outstanding. Yuan Xi, you are right. We can't compromise with such people."

She looked at Ning Zhiwei and said righteously, "Your Majesty, my death is not a pity, but you must not let anyone shake the foundation of the Yong Dynasty."

Ning Zhiwei sighed silently. Even though she had various problems, she was a person of integrity.

Hu Wenjin's plan failed, and he looked grim. "I hate you hypocrites the most. How about this, Ning Yuanxi, you come and exchange your great-grandmother as a hostage?"

Ning Yuanxi nodded without hesitation, "Okay, I'll do it, just don't hurt my great-grandmother."

Madam Ning was horrified, "No, you can't do that."

She is old and may die, but these children are the future and hope of the Ning family.

A child's voice sounded, "I'll change."

A child fell off the horse and said, "I am the eldest grandson of the Ning family, Duke of Wei, Ning Xinzhe. I am more valuable than anyone else. I am here to exchange for my great-grandmother."

Although he is young, he has a stern look, clear eyes and eyebrows, and is full of righteousness.

"No." Madam Ning's eyes turned red and tears flowed like a spring.

She was wrong, she was really wrong. She shouldn't have trusted others so credulously, which brought her to this point and implicated her descendants.

Hu Wenjin asked maliciously, "Your Majesty, do you want to change or not? Or, who do you want to change?"

Ning Zhiwei looked around, his expression unchanged, "I respect the Ning family's decision."

Hu Wenjin could not hide the disappointment in his eyes. The heart of an emperor was unfathomable and could not be guessed by ordinary people.

The Ning family siblings were vying to replace Old Madam Ning and serve as hostages themselves.

The two were at loggerheads.

Hu Wenjin shouted impatiently, "You, Ning Xinzhe, come here."

Duke Weiguo, Ning Xinzhe, the direct descendant of the Ning family and the future head of the family. There is no one more important than him in the Ning family.

Ning Zhiwei's eyes turned cold and he looked around calmly.

"Xinzhe, be careful."

She has already set up a tight net, just waiting for an opportunity.

Ning Xinzhe looked back at her, nodded slightly, and then stepped forward.

Seeing him approaching step by step, Madam Ning was extremely anxious. She rushed towards the sword headfirst and said, "No."

"No, old lady."

Hu Wenjin lowered his head suddenly and watched Madam Ning collide with the sword. His mind went blank and he subconsciously put away the sword.

Madam Ning's body tilted, and Ning Xinzhe rushed over. "Great-grandmother."

At this moment, there was no obstruction in front of Hu Wenjin, and several long arrows whizzed towards him at an extremely fast speed.

An arrow seals the throat.

He only felt a sharp pain, and then his body fell down weakly.

Ning Zhiwei waved his right hand, and the guards rushed forward, captured Hu Wenjin and a group of students, and instantly controlled the situation.

She turned her head and looked at Madam Ning lying in a pool of blood, her face looking very ugly, "Call the imperial physician, quickly."

According to the plan, as long as Hu Wenjin showed the slightest flaw, he would be shot on the spot.

However, man proposes, God disposes. I didn't expect that Madam Ning would take the initiative to bump into him.

Ning Zhiwei's eyes were terribly cold, "Lock them all in jail."

"Pass on my decree. All students who cause trouble will be expelled from school, demoted to commoners, and will never be allowed to take the imperial examinations."

"Hu Wenjin assassinated the king and killed his entire clan."

As decrees were passed down one after another, the king's wrath led to thousands of corpses being scattered all over the place.

Madam Ning's panicked voice suddenly rang out, "Your Majesty, the old lady is calling you."

Ning Zhiwei walked over, squatted on one knee on the ground, and looked at Old Madam Ning whose neck was bleeding profusely, her eyes dimmed.

She comforted him gently, "Madam, you will be fine. The doctor is on the way."

Madam Ning was dying, "Zhiwei, I was wrong."

Ning Zhiwei frowned, "Now is not the time to talk about this, hold on, don't talk, and conserve your energy."

Madam Ning's face turned pale and she spoke incoherently, "Some things will be too late if I don't say them now. Let me... finish."
