After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

One of the bodies was smaller, about the size of a ten-year-old child. Most of the flesh had turned to bones... Clearly, it had been dead for at least six months...

Meanwhile, corpses were still being carried up from the well...

The girl saw the female corpse beside the dry well, and rushed over with a cry, lying on the corpse and crying bitterly: "Sister..."

Murong Chen couldn't help but feel guilty when he saw this, but seeing Zhong Ning's icy expression, he tried to defend himself, "This can't be blamed on me, it's because they were disobedient..."

There was a loud slap, and another slap.

Zhong Ning slapped him hard in the face.

As if it was not enough, she directly snatched the whip with barbs, added internal strength, and whipped Murong Chen continuously.

They beat him until he was covered in blood and dying.

Zhong Ning felt his anger subside a little.

The girl's face gradually became more desperate as she held the corpse, her voice intermittent: "Sister... they are all noble people, they can take our lives with just a flick of their fingers... I clearly advised you to be obedient. As long as we are alive, we will escape one day..."

"Who is it?" Zhong Ning suddenly spoke.

The girl was confused for a moment, and then she realized that Zhong Ning was asking her who that noble person was.

The girl hugged the corpse tightly, and slowly raised her jade finger, pointing at the disheveled man in the crowd, wearing an indigo robe:

"I remember it clearly. It was him. He attacked my sister and used some tools specifically to torture her... My sister was a student and had a mature mind. She had never experienced such humiliation..."

"She refused, and that's why she suffered this misfortune..."

Zhong Ning looked in the direction of her finger and saw Cui Jin, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Cui Jin shrank his neck, his eyes wandering, and his body trembled for a moment as he was forcibly restrained. Then he explained loudly:

"So what if it's me? I'm just a lowly person... We're all here to have fun, so it's normal to kill a couple of them occasionally..."

Zhong Ning's eyes darkened!

The imperial guards who were escorting him kicked Cui Jin directly in the knee!

Cui Jin was forced to kneel on the ground, grimacing in pain!

Zhong Ning threw the whip to Hua Rong, drew the soft sword from his waist, walked over slowly, and lifted Cui Jin's chin slightly with the tip of the sword, and said in a deep voice:

"Master Cui, I would like to ask, if it were your mother, wife, and daughter who were humiliated here today, what would you do?"

Cui Jin's face turned pale.

This Princess Zhaohua is so hateful!

How dare he compare his family with these untouchables!

He pursed his lips, not knowing how to answer.

"Why, you're not going to answer?" Zhong Ning caressed Cui Jin's slender neck with the tip of her sword, quickly drawing a streak of blood. She lowered her head slightly and sneered:

"Do you think, just because you're an official, you can be so careless about human life? As a member of the royal family, I'm going to use your entire family as military prostitutes. How will you respond?"

The tip of the sword pierced Cui Jin's shoulder, and a bloody hole appeared instantly.

Cui Jin gritted his teeth and said nothing!

"And you...you...you..." Zhong Ning suddenly stood up, holding a sharp sword and pointing it at every court official present. "You court officials...open your eyes and take a look. If these innocent children were your own flesh and blood, would you still have the heart to kill them?"

"Those lives buried in this dry well died because of you. Ask yourselves, don't you feel guilty?"

"You are all pillars of the nation who have studied hard for ten years before entering officialdom. When you were humble, you also hated the oppression of the powerful. But now, your positions have been reversed, and you have become bullies who oppress the common people."

"I studied hard for ten years so that I could govern a region and be a good official who would fight for the people, not be like today, a bastard who disregards human life."

"Are you worthy of your conscience? Are you worthy of the people? Are you worthy of the official robes you wear?"

"Murong Chen!" Zhong Ning turned around suddenly and shouted angrily, and Murong Chen shuddered immediately!

"I'm asking you, regarding the Fang Garden incident, was it your own decision, or was it ordered by Prince An? Tell me!"

Murong Chen was so shocked by this shout that he fell to his knees. With a guilty tone in his voice, he replied, "I acted on my own! It has nothing to do with my father!"

"Heh!" Zhong Ning kicked the man to the ground, then stepped on Murong Chen's vital part with his toes and twisted it hard. With a snap, something seemed to break.

Then, Murong Chen's pig-slaughtering screams suddenly resounded throughout the world!

Everyone's legs felt cold and their eyes were filled with horror!

"I guess you have harmed many women. It's better not to have this source of trouble..." Zhong Ning retracted his toes and turned to look at the dry well. Most of the corpses had been fished out. Counting them all, there were at least thirty-seven of them.

Zhong Ning's eyes were deep.

Suddenly I remembered that when I entered the palace, Emperor Yong repeatedly told me to seal off Fangyuan....

For other information, try not to spread it outside!

This matter concerns the royal reputation and damages the royal dignity.

If the people knew, they would have less awe of the royal family!

He didn't even say anything about sending those kids home!

Zhong Ning felt a chill in his heart. So many lives were not as important as the royal family's reputation!

Is this the tragedy of the feudal era?

As for these officials...

Emperor Yong meant to select two as representatives to make an example of them, and he could settle accounts with the others later!

After all, they are officials appointed by the imperial court, so we can’t humiliate them too much!

Haha, Zhong Ning sneered, slowly settle the accounts?

She can't do it!

These civil servants value their face the most.

She was determined to strip off their inner qualities and appearance!

"Have you written your confession?"

"Your Highness, I've finished writing..."

Zhong Ning, sword in hand, came to Cui Jin again and said, "Since it's written, please sign and seal it, Master Cui!"

Cui Jin was suddenly startled and looked up at Zhong Ning in disbelief: "Are you serious? Just for, just for these few untouchables?"

With a slap, the girl suddenly rushed over and slapped Cui Jin hard in the face, gritting her teeth and saying:

"We are not untouchables. We are children from good families. It was you beasts who sent people to capture us..."

Cui Jin was slapped and began to struggle. "I didn't order you to be arrested. From the moment you entered Fang Garden, you were untouchables!"

"You..." The girl's tears flowed like a flood. Looking at the group of so-called nobles in front of her, she collapsed and screamed:

"Why in this world are there officials like you? Are you even worthy of being an official?"

Zhong Ning's voice became even colder, "Let him sign it!"

Cui Jin struggled even harder, but after the previous slap, the imperial guards were no longer polite to him. They simply forced his thumb down and pressed his fingerprint on the confession.

Zhong Ning took the signed confession and said loudly: "Throw him into the death row of the Ministry of Justice and execute him on a certain day!"
