On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Lin Zhen stood there with his hands behind his back, his whole body filled with murderous intent.

After a while, Hou Chun came out with the villagers and tenants hired by the Cheng family. People from the surrounding areas who heard the news also flocked to the house. For a while, the gate of the Cheng family was bustling with people.

They looked at the neatly lined-up Longxiong Battalion soldiers in the open space and said in surprise.

"Where do so many soldiers come from?"

"I don't know. This army doesn't look like our local garrison. Could it be that they were specially sent here by the higher-ups?"

"Our county hasn't seen such a scene in a long time."

"Look, that flag has the words 'Longxiang' written on it! It must be the legendary Longxiang Camp!"

"What is the Dragon Camp?"

"You don't know this?"

There were a few people in the team who had worked outside before, and they began to tell everyone about the great reputation of the Longxiong Camp, such as its battles on the battlefields and its numerous military exploits. Everyone felt both admiration and anticipation when they heard it.

Lin Zhen stood at the door and shouted to everyone at the top of his voice.

"Fellow villagers! I am Lin Zhen, the Crown Prince of the Prince Regent's Palace! I have called you all here today because I have heard that the Cheng family is abusing their power and tyranny in Wuqing County, oppressing the people of the village. Please stand up and point the finger. I, Lin Zhen, promise to give you justice!"

The people in the audience looked at each other, and no one dared to speak first.

After a long silence, an old man lowered his voice and spoke to the people around him.

"We dare not act rashly. The Cheng family has absolute power in our county. If we offend them today, once the prince leaves, the Cheng family will definitely intensify their efforts to deal with us."

His words resonated with other villagers, and they also spoke out.

"Yes. The Cheng family has always been vindictive. If they come to settle the score with us later, how will we survive?"

"This old man Cheng is ruthless and cruel. He beats anyone he doesn't like to death. Old Chen from our village accidentally bumped into his family's carriage, and the guard broke his leg. Now he can't even walk."

"And then there's Widow Li. In order to seize her land, the Cheng family falsely accused her of stealing and locked her up in the woodshed, starving her for days. She almost died. How could a commoner like us stand up to them?"

Everyone nodded, their eyes filled with worry and fear, and their whispers were filled with fear of the Cheng family.

Seeing everyone whispering, but no one willing to step forward, Lin Zhen said, "Don't worry, everyone. I, Lin Zhen, guarantee you my title as the prince of the royal palace. As long as your accusation is well-founded, I will kill this evil villain! So that everyone can have no worries!"

At this time, there was an old man in the crowd who was dressed in rags and looked very weathered.

I saw him trembling slightly with excitement, as if he had made a great decision, and took a step forward slowly.

"Hey hey hey, Lao Liu, don't go!"

"Don't go. They're protecting each other. You can't believe what they say!"

"Come back quickly!"

Old Liu walked up to Lin Zhen, knelt on the ground with a plop, and burst into tears.

"My Lord, please help me!"

Lin Zhen hurried forward to support him: "Old man, please stand up quickly. If you have any grievances, please feel free to speak."

The old man pointed at Old Master Cheng with a trembling finger, his voice filled with tears: "My Lord. This old man of the Cheng family is not a human being! Last year, my daughter delivered vegetables to the Cheng family, and he took a fancy to her. He forcibly took her into the mansion and raped her. My poor daughter, just after she was promised to someone, this happened. A few days after she came back, she committed suicide! How am I going to live the rest of my life...?"

The old man burst into tears.

His story was no secret in the village. After hearing it, many people's eyes turned red and they cursed in low voices.

Lin Zhen's eyes widened with anger.

He turned around abruptly, took the whip from Hou Chun, and shouted at Old Master Cheng, "Is what he said true?!"

Old Master Cheng's hands and feet were tied, and he couldn't even kneel down and kowtow to beg for mercy.

"My Lord, I was wrong. I will never do it again!"

Snapped--

"Ah!!!" A scream like a pig being slaughtered.

Old Master Cheng's face twisted instantly, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his face.

"My Lord, I don't dare anymore! I really don't dare anymore!"

The wives, concubines, children, and relatives kneeling behind Old Master Cheng were all trembling with fear.

In the past, Mr. Cheng was a famous landlord in the village. He also had connections in the county and the capital. Even Sun Ping had to greet him politely when he met him.

Who knew that he would be beaten like a dying maggot by Lin Zhen.

Snapped--

Snapped--

Whip after whip fell on Old Master Cheng, leaving his skin torn and his face covered with tears and snot.

Lin Zhen was tired from fighting, so he took off his outer robe and handed it to Hou Chun, then turned around and shouted to everyone.

"From now on, those who have grudges will seek revenge, and those who have been wronged will seek justice! Everyone, please stand up and speak out. For every one of your accusations, I will slap this evil villain!"

"it is good!"

Seeing Lin Zhen so powerful, the people who had been suppressed for a long time all plucked up their courage.

A young man flushed and pushed forward, "My Lord, let me tell you something! My family used to have a few acres of land, and we could barely make a living by farming. But the Cheng family insisted that the land was theirs and forcibly took it away. They even beat my father and he's now bedridden!"

Lin Zhen's whip slammed down again, and Old Master Cheng howled again. He curled up on the ground and begged for mercy, "Master, please spare my life. I know I was wrong. Please have mercy on me!"

"Have mercy? Humph, have you ever shown mercy to these innocent people?!"

"My Lord, my brother is a Sima in the county, and my third uncle is also an official in the capital. Please, for their sake, spare my life!"

"Oh?" Lin Zhen became interested. "Then tell me, who is your third uncle? What official position does he hold?"

"My third uncle is Cheng Shunxing, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Rites!"

"Hahaha, okay, I'll raid your third uncle's house when I get back."

"ah!!??"

Lin Zhen looked at the people again.

"Anything else? Keep talking!"

A woman came forward, clutching her child, weeping. "My Lord, my husband works for the Cheng family. He's exhausted every day, yet this bully has withheld his wages! Last month, he collapsed from exhaustion, and the Cheng family not only refused to hire a doctor, but also threw him out. Now he's lying at home, his life uncertain. How are we, an orphan and a widow, going to survive?"

Another old man stood up tremblingly and said, "My Lord, my son was beaten to death by the Cheng family's servants just because he didn't give way to the Cheng family's dog. This is a blood feud. You must help me settle it!"

Lin Zhen gritted his teeth in hatred.

Mr. Cheng’s crimes are simply too numerous to list!

It’s not much to kill!

He squatted down, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked in a serious voice.

"Do you admit to the crimes they are accusing you of?"

Old Master Cheng was beaten to the point of being half dead, and nodded repeatedly.

"I admit it, I admit it! My Lord, please be merciful. I promise I will never do it again!"

"There's no future." Lin Zhen took a deep breath. "Drag him away and chop him off! Hang his head on the village gate."

"Yes!" Mo Feng licked his scarlet lips and dragged him out.

“Ah!? No! Don’t kill me!! My Lord, I was wrong! I really know I was wrong!!”

"I promise to change my ways! I won't do it again!"

"My Lord!!"

Old Master Cheng's voice gradually faded away, and soon a scream was heard, and his sinful life ended.

As soon as Old Master Cheng died, a child of seven or eight years old ran out of the crowd excitedly, waving his hands and shouting, "Long live the prince!"

The child's father was horrified and rushed forward to grab the child, scolding him, "You ignorant thing, the prince is a thousand years old, you can't say long live him!"

But at this moment, someone started shouting, "Long live the prince!"

In an instant, all the villagers knelt down as if on fire, shouting, "Long live the prince!"
