"Commander Yu, Li Changqing killed someone and took my wife. Shouldn't I kill him for both professional and personal reasons?"

In front of Yu Cang, Cui Hao became extremely powerful and said the three words "take my wife" without any sense of shame.

Yu Cang knew that today's trial was instigated by Cui Hao. Even though he was his superior, he did not dare to be too harsh on him.

"The princess will make the decision for you. If Li Changqing's crime is unforgivable, you will see a satisfactory result!"

Cui Hao suppressed his anger. Noticing Princess Changping's displeasure, he quickly apologized, "It's all up to you, Princess!"

Li Changping's face was stern, and he cast an extremely sharp gaze on the few people. "Liang Jing, are you really having an affair with Cui Hao?"

When Liang Jing heard Li Changping ask this, she suddenly panicked.

"Princess, I..."

"Logically speaking, your behavior is considered adultery with the royal family, and you should be executed along with your entire clan!"

Li Changping was solemn. He neither listened to Liang Jing's words nor cared whether she admitted it or not. He directly concluded that this was true.

After all, she is a member of the royal family. When she heard Liang Jing's behavior, she was extremely disdainful and didn't treat her well.

"Princess, that's not the case!"

Liang Jing was about to explain herself when she was interrupted by Li Changping.

"I don't care what it is. Although the emperor has issued an order, you haven't performed the ceremony yet. You can't be considered his concubine!"

"But the fact that Li Changqing killed Chen Qian is undeniable. Whether he can survive is another matter. Since you are unworthy of marrying into the royal family, I will petition the Emperor to annul this marriage!"

Upon hearing this, Liang Jing was so excited that her whole body trembled. She knelt down and bowed, saying gratefully, "Thank you, Princess, for your help!"

"Don't be so quick to thank me. You've insulted the royal family and must be punished. Come, drag him away and give him thirty strokes of the cane!"

Li Changping had a grim expression on his face. With a wave of his hand, several guards pinned Liang Jing to the ground and started hitting her with sticks.

Liang Jing's shrill roar was heard in the hall.

"Princess, this is too unfair!"

Cui Hao anxiously asked which group Li Changping belonged to, as he had beaten his woman in front of him.

"You're talking about fairness with me? Let me ask you, was it Liang Jing who seduced you, or was it you who seduced Liang Jing? After the Emperor granted the marriage, you still dared to meet in private. Who gave you the courage?"

Li Changping was furious. It didn’t matter who was hooking up with whom. A captain of the Demon Division in a small town actually dared to contradict her. He was looking for death!

Cui Hao was intimidated by the fierce momentum and said humiliatingly, "I am disrespectful, please forgive me, Princess!"

Li Changping raised his eyes upwards, as if he was looking at a place in the Zongzheng Division. There was another person hiding there, and his words were directed at him.

"It was Liang Jing who seduced you. Am I right?"

"Princess, we are in love..."

Cui Hao was about to explain himself when Li Changping shouted, "Answer yes or no. Don't you know who is hooking up with whom?"

"Yes!"

A voice came from Cui Hao's consciousness, asking him to answer yes. Cui Hao did not dare to disobey, nor did he dare to look at Liang Jing, and blurted out yes.

After saying this, I felt dazed.

Between revenge on Li Changqing and protecting Liang Jing, he actually chose the former instead of the latter!

Cui Hao suddenly realized.

He once pursued Liang Jing for the sake of his vanity. The satisfaction of embracing the famous socialite from the capital was indescribable, especially when he tasted the forbidden fruit. The perfect harmony between them was so strong that it was hard to extricate himself.

His later confrontation with Li Changqing was due to his strong possessiveness and inferiority complex. He did not want his woman to be touched, especially by the powerful and influential people.

After all, he loves himself the most, not Liang Jing.

"Then add another thirty sticks!"

Li Changping gave the order, and the guards followed it. The sticks rained down like raindrops, and Liang Jing roared even more fiercely.

"Cui Lang, please ask the princess for mercy on my behalf!"

The executioners were all cultivators, and her limited spiritual power could not withstand it at all. Her skin was torn apart in an instant, and she begged for mercy.

Cui Hao's face was filled with sorrow when he saw this, but if he wanted to kill Li Changqing today, he had to rely on Li Changping, and he couldn't lose the big picture for the sake of small gains.

"Jing'er, please bear with me for a moment. I swear, I will kill Li Changqing and help you vent your anger!"

He gritted his teeth, veins bulging. As long as he could kill Li Changqing, he was willing to let Liang Jing suffer humiliation.

However, she felt resentment towards Li Changping in her heart. It was obvious that she did this on purpose. With her power, there was no need for her to punish Liang Jing.

I'm afraid she was doing this for the sect to see, and the Holy Lord was hiding in the dark watching everything in the hall.

The sect that Cui Hao belongs to has connections with Li Changping and the Demon Suppression Division, and supports the second prince of the current dynasty.

If we can successfully help the Second Prince win the throne of Crown Prince, and he ascends to the throne in the future, our sect will be able to control the martial arts world.

However, in order to protect Cui Hao, the sect put pressure on Li Changping, and Li Changping was very dissatisfied with their attitude.

Li Changping believes that cooperation is acceptable, but one must know one's responsibilities and not overstep them.

She then went on to punish Liang Jing and attack Cui Hao's sect!

Li Changqing stood there, listening to Liang Jing's painful howls, and felt extremely happy.

Didn’t she have a lover? When she was being beaten, did he ever say a word for her?

Wake up, stupid woman.

But listening to the conversation between Li Changping and Cui Hao, they sang the same tune, as if they were acting, which was extremely contemptuous.

If you have any evil plan, just use it directly. Why sit there and do it? It's a waste of time.

"Your Highness, you have insulted the royal family. You can be forgiven by being caned sixty times, and you don't even have to be a concubine. You truly uphold the royal dignity!"

Li Changping felt angry when he heard him speak in a sarcastic tone.

"How to deal with it is up to me, the princess. You are not allowed to question it. First, explain your guilt clearly!"

"Where are the documents? Li Changqing's trial has been completed and recorded. Once the trial is over, he will be expelled from the royal family tree!"

The person in charge of recording was Li Gan. Normally, other people would avoid such a task, but Li Gan had no background, so he was the only one to do it.

Li Fang nodded. "The princess has spoken, so just do as she says!"

After he finished speaking, he pretended to close his eyes and not get involved.

It is true that Li Fang is the deputy chief minister, but his power is not as great as Li Changping's. He does not hold an important position either, so it is better to have less trouble than more.

Regarding the matter of the arranged marriage, Li Changping just hastily settled it with sixty sticks, looking like he was trying to cover up the truth with one hand.

Li Changqing deeply detests the shamelessness of powerful people.

"Princess, are you trying to judge me, or are you trying to convict me directly? Without any evidence, you've already concluded that I've committed murder. I'm afraid you don't want to convict me, you want to kill me!"

"I've already informed the Brave Marquis Chen Changhe. He'll be here with the evidence soon. Let's see how you can refute it!"

Li Changping was confident, but when he saw Li Changqing's familiar appearance, he was filled with anger and wanted to kill him right away.

Li Mo saw that the show was about to begin, so how could he miss it?

"Aunt, you said that Sixth Brother killed the young marquis. Is that true? There is indeed a grudge between them!"

"Why, nephew, are you interested in this?"

Li Changping said coldly that Li Mo and the second prince Li were originally competitors, and she had to ignore him for the sake of face.

Moreover, as long as it is detrimental to Li Changqing, they can form a short-term alliance, and the expression on his face softened a little.

"After all, he is my biological brother, I must show some concern for him!"

Li Mo smiled, "Sixth brother has been missing for twenty years and finally came back. I really don't want this to be true!"

"Fifth Prince, there is no doubt that the Sixth Prince committed murder, and he has entered the devil's way, he is a demon!"

Cui Hao was determined not only to kill Li Changqing but also to nail him to the pillar of shame.

"Oh, Captain Cui knows the inside story? Could it be what happened in the alley that night? No wonder!"

Li Mo feigned curiosity, "So, Sixth Brother does have a motive for murder!"

He turned to Li Changqing and said, "Tell me the truth, brother. Did you really kill Chen Qian?"

Li Changqing listened to him talking like a bitch, and responded with a cold face, "I said no, do you believe it?"

Li Mo chuckled awkwardly, "Whether it's the Zongzhengfu or the Demon Suppression Division, they handle cases impartially. As a brother, I dare not be partial. I just hope it's not my sixth brother!"

Li Changqing suddenly felt that he was fanning the flames, jumping up and down like a monkey, which was extremely ridiculous.

"What's the point of Fifth Brother saying all this nonsense!"

Li Mo was verbally humiliated again and his face fell, "Sixth brother, I'm thinking about you, don't know how to say good things and bad things!"

"No need for that. Brother, you should worry about whether your nephew can ascend to the Quexian Tower. You killed me today, so there's just a vacant position. No wonder you keep fanning the flames!"

Li Changqing never hits people in the face, but only hits them where it hurts.

Last time, Li Mo suffered a loss in the restaurant and was ridiculed openly and covertly. He wanted to step on Li Changqing like dog shit, but ended up becoming the dog shit himself.

"Li Changqing, you're almost a prisoner in the city, yet you still act so arrogantly. I really don't know how a person like you dares to enter the Divine Capital!"

Li Biao stood up for the injustice.

Li Changqing simply ignored it and didn't bother to pay attention to it. He didn't deserve it!

Li Changping listened to their endless quarrel and said, "Okay, this is a trial by the Zongzhengfu, it's not a joke!"

A moment later, a thunderclap sounded outside the door.

"Which one is Li Changqing!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a man came in like a gust of wind. He had gray hair and a black and white beard. He was carrying a corpse on his shoulder, and his face was full of hatred.

"Master Hou, you are here?"

Li Changping calmly greeted him, pointed at Li Changqing and said, "This is the Sixth Prince!"

The person who came was the Marquis of Bravery, Chen Changhe.

He turned around, staring at Li Changqing with a sharp gaze, his whole body filled with a fierce aura, "Did you kill my grandson?"
