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

The old man, with a pale face, endured the gnawing of the tech bug in his body and said, "Your Highness, you have already wiped out the entire Cui family. Why are you still doing this?"

"If you don't remove the roots, they'll grow again in the spring breeze..." Zhong Ning sneered, then continued, "Don't complain about them. They've already squeezed too much blood and sweat out of the people in this land. If I don't clean it up thoroughly, how can I carry out the follow-up?"

"Your Highness's intention..." Yan Wu sighed deeply, "Yan Wu will definitely do it!"

"Do you know if there are any eighth-grade warriors like you in the other seven aristocratic families?" Zhong Ning asked calmly.

A little cold sweat broke out on Yan Wu's forehead, and he couldn't help wiping it with his hand. He wanted to use his internal energy to dry it out, but in front of Princess Zhaohua, how could he dare to use his internal energy?

Yan Wu heard the question, thought about it, and then replied:

"Among all the warriors in the world, the only one who can reach the ninth rank is Your Highness, apart from the man in Beidi who has been in seclusion for many years. There are only a handful of people who can reach the eighth rank, including this old man."

"The aristocratic families have been entrenched in the area for thousands of years and have strong financial resources. Naturally, they are more afraid of being targeted. That's why they pay high salaries to support eighth-rank warriors or seventh-rank warriors to guard the family to prevent any accidents."

"I am supported by the Qinghe Cui family. Besides the Qinghe Cui family, there are also the Longxi Li family... the Guangyuan Pei family... and the Lin'an Ning family. They all support eighth-rank warriors..."

"Other families support seventh-rank warriors!"

"But this seventh-grade warrior is not a novice who has just started to learn the grades. Instead, he is a warrior who is one step away from the eighth-grade and is about to break through to the eighth-grade."

"For example, the several seventh-grade warriors supported by the Qinghe Cui family and subdued by Your Highness have basically only achieved breakthroughs in the past two years, and their strength foundation is insufficient."

At this point, Yan Wu looked up at Zhong Ning: "But the difference between the grades is huge. Even if it is only half a grade higher, it can still be suppressed!"

"For a ninth-rank master like Your Highness, this is naturally a piece of cake!"

In fact, he really wanted to ask, after breaking through the ninth level, would he be able to use the power of heaven to open up another space like Zhong Ning.

Otherwise, he really couldn't figure out where she had taken those seventh-grade warriors?

"Hehe...you are quite honest..." Zhong Ning said.

Yan Wuze silently explained: "Your Highness, as long as you send someone to investigate, you will naturally be able to find out this information!"

"Yes, I understand. Thank you very much. Besides that, you will supervise the officials here for me... I want to take over all the land owned by the Cui family and return it to the court..."

"If Liu Ben disobeys my orders, you must teach him a lesson for me! Otherwise, he might think I'm far away in the capital and try to trick me!"

Yan Wu was silent. Is this the sharpness of imperial power?

"Yes, I obey!"

"Go ahead..."

Yan Wu bowed respectfully, then mobilized his inner strength and leaped into the darkness.

What happened tonight completely shattered his hope of getting lucky.

In the past, he thought that there were no ninth-grade masters in Dayong, and he was the ceiling of the country's combat power, so he always had a high opinion of himself.

But now, he personally experienced the pressure from a ninth-rank master, and felt as if all the blood in his body was freezing.

If he hadn't been so agile today, he would have died on the spot.

There is only one level difference between the ninth and eighth grades, but why is it as difficult as shaking a mountain?

How could he know that Zhong Ning was able to break through to the ninth rank by using a Xuanmen spiritual weapon, which used spiritual power to drive internal strength, and was even higher than the ordinary ninth rank.

After this incident, Zhong Ning turned around calmly and looked towards the sky above Cui Mansion.

One after another, the figures of the dead warriors flashed, covered in blood, and slowly returned to their original places, still maintaining their original standing postures, with expressionless faces.

The return of the assassins means that the mission of exterminating the entire family has been completed.

Zhong Ning gathered all the assassins into the space, then rose into the air with his hands behind his back, flying over Cui's residence. He saw one bloody corpse after another under the night sky.

According to the nature of our later generations, if such a family is really involved in a case, especially a case of corruption and bribery, generally only the head of the family will be held accountable, but Zhong Ning is different.

She clearly remembered that before she traveled through time, there was a real estate developer named Xu who cheated many ordinary people in order to make money.

The amount of corruption was trillions, but even so, the country only arrested the ringleader. The most ridiculous thing is that he still has hundreds of billions of assets transferred abroad, and his descendants can still receive countless money every month, living a life of luxury and spending money like water.

They ruined the life-long efforts of countless ordinary people, but in the end, they only arrested and prosecuted one person.

This is just like the current Qinghe Cui family.

He exploited countless people, raped countless girls, abducted and sold countless teenagers, and even colluded with officials to assassinate the princess.

With all these crimes accumulated, she was not so kind as to kill only one or two people. The wealth of the entire Cui family was built on the basis of exploiting the people and collusion between officials and businessmen.

They had also enjoyed wealth and splendor, and had also relied on the reputation of the Qinghe Cui family to flaunt their power. Now that they had encountered such a tough opponent like her, why should they claim to be innocent?

As for why she did it herself?

Because there are precedents!

Emperor Yong was still hesitant about how to deal with the matter of Prince An, and the power of the eight major families was even wider. If the Qinghe Cui family was touched, the entire eight major families would be affected.

If the aristocratic families unite, it will inevitably put considerable pressure on Emperor Yong.

In addition, there are many children from aristocratic families serving as officials in the court.

Even if Emperor Yong knew that the noble families had joined forces to assassinate her, he would probably suppress the matter for the time being. After all, the stability of the country was more important.

Sacrificing one person to save the entire country, Emperor Yong didn't even need to think about this question.

Even in the previous Fangyuan incident, if Zhong Ning had not mobilized public opinion, Emperor Yong would probably not have had the heart to take action against his own brother.

Even if Prince An is severely punished now, I think the other officials involved in the case will only be given lenient punishments.

There are too many relationships involved, and he doesn't want to disrupt the current stability.

So Zhong Ning could only take revenge on his own.

No matter when or where you are, the only person you can turn to is yourself.

Especially for the common people at the bottom, if you are being bullied, don’t dream that there is some great ruler in the sky to stand up for you, because such a thing has been rare since ancient times.

Just like the rural news she saw that year, they were bullied by the village tyrant for thirty years before they rose up in resistance. If it were her, she would have sent her whole family to heaven if it happened more than twice.

How can we tolerate it for another thirty years?

She was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and would want to kill them right then and there.

Zhong Ning closed his eyes and flew away. Now that the entire Cui family had been wiped out, the follow-up naturally had to be dealt with properly.

And the Qinyuan that was moved to the northern suburbs also needs someone to take care of it.

She couldn't stay in this place for too long, otherwise it would arouse Kyoto's suspicion.

Zhong Ning thought for a moment, threw the girl in the space back to her front door, and then headed towards the Qinghe County Magistrate's Mansion.

Even when the girl woke up from her coma, she didn't know who to thank. She just knelt on the ground and prayed, wishing her benefactor good fortune from now on!
