Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Ning Zhiwei was not afraid at all, and held his head high. "I, Ning Zhiwei from the General's Mansion, am here to appeal for the injustice of the Ning family..."

People gasped frequently. Was there anyone in the Ning family who had escaped the net?

The people pointed and talked, "What? Didn't the Ning family commit treason? All the Ning family members were imprisoned."

"Haha, you killed the people of the six cities and you're still crying foul? Shameless."

Ning Zhiwei seemed not to hear the people's anger and looked stern.

"I, the Ning family, followed Taizu in the uprising and was awarded the title of Duke for my military achievements. For two hundred years, I have been guarding the northwest. The first word that I, the Ning family, learned was to serve the country with loyalty. We have engraved it into our bones and it has become the belief of the Ning family."

"The children of the Ning family have been practicing martial arts since they were five years old, and have been on the battlefield since they were fifteen. Without exception, generation after generation, they have shed their blood. Every inch of land at the border is stained with the blood of the children of the Ning family. We defend the Great Qi Dynasty with our lives."

She spoke passionately about the Ning family's loyalty and courage, and vindicated the Ning family.

"So far, a total of 63 Ning family members have died on the battlefield. The youngest was only years old, and the oldest was years old. They fought for the king and for the people. They died gloriously and magnificently. Our Ning family ancestral hall is filled with tablets of these heroes. We are proud. We are proud."

As she spoke, the noise gradually died down and the people's expressions became more complicated.

The guards were so stunned that they forgot to stop her. Who among martial artists would not regard the Ning family's God of War as an idol?

Rong Jing's eyes sank slightly, his mood churning. This girl was not simple. Every word she said was full of deep meaning and just right. She successfully suppressed the rumors, as well as the resentment and curses towards the Ning family, and turned the public opinion around.

With such means and such scheming, what will happen when she grows up?

"For two hundred years, our Ning family has lived up to the emperor, Da Qi, and the people." Ning Zhiwei's firm tone had the power to shake people's hearts. "But in the end, I was only charged with treason. I don't accept it."

She shouted loudly, "I'm speaking out for the Ning family. I beg Your Majesty to give the Ning family justice and not to let those soldiers who fought for the country feel disheartened."

Rumble, like a thunderbolt striking the hearts of everyone present.

The grand Ning case thus began, and Ning Zhiwei's legendary life also began...

Yu Yushi sneered, "That sounds nice, but wasn't the fall of the six cities caused by the Ning family's army? The Ning family should bear all the responsibility."

When the people heard this, they felt conflicted. It was true that the Ning family army had always been guarding the border, but it was also the Ning family that caused the massacre of the six cities.

Ning Zhiwei sneered, his tone was extremely sad, "How did General Ning die? He was shot by a cold arrow from behind. The arrow was poisonous and he died of the poison!"

She had no time to stop it, and only she knew the pain in her heart.

Everyone gasped. What? There is such a secret? What happened at the border? This was their god of war, and he died so miserably.

Anger, sadness, and pain all flooded my heart.

Ning Zhiwei did not give the other party a chance to speak. "General Ning Guangzhi led a team to rescue Yumen Pass, but was ambushed halfway and was stabbed twelve times. He fought until his last breath and regretted that he could no longer be loyal to the king before he died."

Her voice was choked, her eyes were red, tears were welling up in her eyes but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

"General Ning Guangpo was shot in the throat with an arrow, and he didn't even leave a last word."

"Ning Xiuyao is thirty years old. He has spent half his life fighting on the battlefield, shedding his last drop of blood for his country. He only has one five-year-old child, but the child will never see his father return."

"Ning Xiuyue was twenty years old. He got married last year, but died on the battlefield before he had any children. His family line ended there."

"Ning Xiurui, Ning Xiuyuan is missing on the battlefield, and his life or death is unknown."

Every word was heart-wrenching, reaching everyone's ears and hurting countless people's hearts.

These are things that the people don’t know.

This is the Ning Family Army, the Ning Family Army that defended the Great Qi Dynasty with blood and life! It is the Ning Family Army that has guarded the border for 200 years!

Ning Zhiwei's eyes were red, and she was filled with indignation. She roared madly, "The Ning family is committing treason? What do they want? Do they want all the male members of our Ning family to die in the battlefield? Do they want all the members of our Ning family to be executed?"

Is this reasonable? Is this normal?

Can't the civil and military officials see this truth? Doesn't the emperor understand?

No, they all understood, but they needed a scapegoat to appease the anger of the people.

Then, let her tear off this veil and let the whole world see the truth behind it.

Why should the Ning family bear everything?

She bowed deeply, "Your Majesty, please investigate this case thoroughly and clear Ning's name."

A commoner followed suit and bowed, "Your Majesty, please investigate this case thoroughly."

After the first one, there were countless others. The common people knelt, the yamen runners knelt, the guards knelt, and the civil and military officials hesitated for a moment and then knelt.

The emperor looked at the crowd of people kneeling on the ground and thought that this was what people wanted.

He looked at Ning Zhiwei deeply. Was this a coincidence? Or was it intentional?

"Order, Dali Temple..." He paused, almost forgetting that he had sent Dali Temple Minister Rong Jing to the capital to investigate a case for more than a month and he has not returned yet.

Dali Temple Minister Rong Jing walked out from the crowd and stepped forward quickly, "I am here."

The emperor nodded slightly and continued to order, "The Censorate and the Ministry of Justice will hold a joint trial, with the assistance of the Royal Guards. We must investigate thoroughly and thoroughly."

The three major departments jointly handled the case, and with the assistance of the mysterious Jinyiwei, it was the highest configuration in the Great Qi Dynasty.

"Yes."

All this happened just as Ning Zhiwei expected. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

The Minister of Rites, who was standing at the front, narrowed his eyes and suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, etiquette cannot be abolished, and rules cannot be abolished even more."

He pointed at the slender figure and said, "The one who beats the drum for hearing the news must first be beaten with thirty sticks. This is the rule."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people immediately objected loudly. "Please show mercy, Your Majesty. Miss Ning is so delicate. Ten strokes of the cane, let alone thirty strokes, would kill her."

The Minister of Rites insisted on his own opinion and shouted angrily, "If this precedent is broken, and everyone comes to beat the drum to report the incident, won't it be a mess?"

Ning Zhiwei raised her head. Her snow-white face, pointed chin, and thin figure all made people feel pity.

However, she looked stern, "Everyone has to die, some are heavier than Mount Tai, some are lighter than a feather. As long as I can clear the name of the Ning family and let General Ning and his men rest in peace, my death will not be in vain."

Her voice was powerful and her pride was unyielding, fully displaying the demeanor of a general's tiger daughter.

When these words were spoken, some people couldn't help crying.

At this moment, people's hearts and public opinion were on Ning Zhiwei's side and on the side of the Ning family.

This is the result Ning Zhiwei wanted.

People's support is available.

Even if you are an emperor, you cannot be unwilling to go against public opinion. "First, give five big punishments, and the rest will be completed within a month."

The ministers exchanged meaningful glances. If the injury heals, they will be beaten again, and then healed again, repeating this process over and over again will be even more fatal and worse than death.

Sure enough, the king’s authority is unshakable!

Rong Jing felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Ning Zhiwei felt cold in her heart. Is this what it means to be with the emperor like being with a tiger? The rise and fall of a family depends on the emperor's thoughts.

She rolled her eyes slightly and thought of a solution...
