Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Wei Zhongliang retorted loudly, "You are talking nonsense. There is no such thing as murder or arson."

"There is fire."

Boom! There was a real fire. The Zhang family’s house was on fire, and the raging fire consumed everything.

The Jinyiwei were stunned.

Everyone in the Ning family rushed over after hearing the news, and were stunned when they saw this scene.

The villagers knelt down and cried, "Sir, we are all law-abiding citizens, but these people rushed in and attacked us, and even attacked innocent children. What could the children have done wrong? Please help us."

The county magistrate's face changed several times as he looked at the child who was stabbed in the heart.

But, he couldn't do anything about this matter. He didn't know why Princess Jingning asked them to get involved?

The Jinyiwei only needed to be responsible to the emperor, and they would directly patrol, arrest, and interrogate people. All officials avoided them and did not dare to offend them.

The Imperial Guards were naturally not afraid of this insignificant official. "We received a report that Qingluo Villa was harboring a wanted criminal."

Another Jinyiwei, Yu Chengfei, bravely said, "County Lady, do you dare to let us search Qingluo Villa?"

"I dare not." Ning Zhiwei looked very frank.

She called the county magistrate over for two reasons: first, to delay time, to hide what should be hidden, to collect what should be collected. Second, to serve as a witness.

The eyes of the Jinyiwei were bright. Were they afraid? As long as there was a flaw, they would have plenty of ways to fabricate a crime and make it an ironclad case.

Ning Zhiwei stood with his hands behind his back, emitting a powerful aura.

"I'm afraid you guys will frame me and put something deadly in the farm, and everyone in Qingluo Farm will suffer."

Several Jinyiwei's eyes flickered. What else did the county magistrate not understand? Good fellow, he really had such an idea.

"You can keep an eye on us the whole time."

“I can’t keep an eye on them.” Ning Zhiwei’s mind was racing. These people were coming for Qingluo Villa. Who was the mastermind behind this?

The emperor? He has other plans and won't cause trouble at this critical moment.

The princes? They restrained each other and did not dare to openly involve the Jinyiwei.

Su Mingjin and his son? They had just suffered a great loss, so it was normal for them to fight back, but could they really stretch their hands so far?

The Jinyiwei came here at risk. Fortune and wealth can only be achieved through risk. Let's fight!

Yu Chengfei decided to take the risk, "Then you are harboring a wanted criminal."

An angry voice shouted, "Who do you say is harboring the wanted criminal?"

A group of Jinyiwei dressed in Feiyu uniforms and carrying embroidered spring swords on their waists rode over on horseback, led by Xie Tongcheng from the Northern Pacification Office.

The Jinyiwei of the Southern Pacification Division suddenly changed his expression, "Why are you here?"

Xie Tongcheng greeted Ning Zhiwei respectfully, then turned around and retorted defiantly, "If you can come, why can't we?"

Both families belonged to the Jinyiwei, but had different divisions of labor, constant internal fighting, frequent frictions between the two sides, and particularly bad relations.

The emperor was pleased to see this happen.

If his subordinates stick together, he will be the one who can't sleep.

Yu Chengfei was very angry, "We are handling the case according to the order."

Xie Tongcheng stretched out his right hand and said, "Show me the imperial edict."

Yu Chengfei shouted angrily, "You are colluding with the Lord of Jingning County. Is this your personal behavior? Or is it the behavior of your entire Northern Pacification Division?"

Xie Tongcheng is not afraid of him. In terms of position, he is higher than all of them.

"Don't put the blame on me. You want to search for the prisoner? Okay, I'll go with you."

Even with them watching, Ning Zhiwei was still worried and winked at the guards beside him, "Xiaolong, accompany the adults for a walk."

"Yes."

Ning Zhiwei watched the three teams leave, and heard a sad cry in his ears, "Dad, please don't die, open your eyes and look at us."

When she looked over, she saw the Wang family kneeling on the ground crying loudly.

As if it was contagious, other villagers couldn't help crying as well. Their cries were so loud and every cry was filled with pain.

The Ning family, young and old, stared at the scene in a daze, their faces sad and their eyes filled with tears, feeling the same way.

The guard reported cautiously, "Master, we have thirty-one injured and one dead."

Ning Zhiwei closed her eyes to hide the pain. "According to the convention, each injured person will receive 50 taels, and each dead person will receive 200 taels. Arrangements will be made for the lives of the Wang family members."

"Yes."

Ning Liu could no longer hold back his anger and his eyes were red.

"You are killing people indiscriminately in my Qingluo Villa, and you don't take our Ning family seriously at all. How despicable."

Madam Ning was heartbroken, "This is too much bullying. Now any Jinyiwei can punish our Ning family?"

She finally understood what Ning Zhiwei had said. The Ning family was in a precarious situation and the disaster was not over yet.

Ning Zhiwei looked at the Ning family and asked loudly, "Open your eyes and look, the General's Mansion that no one dared to provoke in the past is now open to everyone. Are you willing to accept this?"

"I'm not willing to accept this!" Ning Si has always been gentle, but at this moment, the unwillingness in his eyes turned into reality.

"I'm not willing to accept this!" The ladies of the Ning family were indignant. Why wouldn't they let them go?

Several children burst into tears and cried very sadly, "Aunt, I will never play around again. I will study hard and practice martial arts every day."

"Aunt, I will study harder, work hard to grow up, drive away all the bad guys, and protect the Ning family with you."

The scene they witnessed deeply stimulated their young minds.

Ning Zhiwei looked at Ning Wenyin, whose eyes were red, and said, "Big sister, are you still going to hide in the nunnery and wait for the Ning family to perish?"

Ning Wenyin felt a sharp pain in her heart and shook her head without hesitation, "No, I won't go. I also want to protect the Ning family and do my part for them."

The county magistrate and others on the side were stunned.

The Princess of Jingning County was truly a very capable person. She took advantage of the situation, taught all the members of the Ning family a lesson, and united the spirit of the Ning family.

With such an opponent, I dare not sleep at night.

But this is just the beginning.

Ning Zhiwei walked up to the villagers and said loudly, "Everyone."

Everyone looked over.

Ning Zhiwei took a deep breath, his face sad, "I apologize to everyone. As the head of the family, I failed to protect you. I'm sorry."

She bowed deeply, and all the Ning family members followed suit.

At this moment, all the villagers were so moved that their eyes turned red and they returned the greeting with tears.

"Master, this is none of your business. It was those Jinyiwei who took advantage of their power to bully others and kill people for no reason."

"Yeah, those Jinyiwei are nothing, how can you be blamed? You arrived in time to protect us."

Ning Zhiwei looked at everyone, his voice loud and firm.

"Those people came prepared. They deliberately provoked you, forced you to rebel, created civil unrest, and took the opportunity to eliminate all of you."

"We have retreated to Qingluo Villa but they still refuse to let us go. We have no choice but to unite and resist to protect our common home."

"I assure everyone that your blood will not be shed in vain, and blood debts must be repaid with blood."

Each impassioned word was full of power and completely aroused the fighting spirit of the villagers.

The villagers were excited. "Okay, no matter what decision you make, we will follow you to the death."

The crowd was excited, raising their hands and shouting, "We will follow you till death, we will follow you till death."

The county magistrate was so frightened that his soul flew out of his body, and his legs went weak, "County Lady, County Lady, please don't do anything rash..."

"Report, the imperial prisoner was found hiding in Qingluo Villa."

The atmosphere suddenly froze, and the war was about to break out...
