After picking up a lucky girl, all the beasts line up to come to your door

When Sang Ye and the others heard this, they all had almost the same expression.

Mu Baobao's little face was full of shock and disbelief. Wow, this bad guy actually said such a thing. He is so brave.

The younger brother is the prince, and the older brother is... eh? What is the older brother's family?

She just remembered that her eldest brother's family was very powerful, only a little bit inferior to her younger brother's.

"Haha, no!" Shangguan Quan laughed so hard that he fell on the table and kept pounding it.

"I've seen so many idiots, but this is the first time I've seen such an arrogant and presumptuous idiot."

"He really treats Mingqing City as his own territory. He's being treated like a local emperor."

Hua Yun slapped him on the head and rolled her eyes, "Stop pounding on the table. It might scare the baby."

Shangguan Quan sat up straight and laughed, "Second brother, listen to what this idiot has to say."

"He didn't even know our identities, yet he dared to speak so arrogantly. I've finally seen what a true fool is."

Hua Yun glanced at Xu Yajian, but her words were directed at Shangguan Quan, "He's used to being arrogant here, and he thinks a mere Dong Chuan can protect him, so he said such things."

Xu Yajian had been spoiled unconditionally since childhood, so he couldn't stand hearing such words. "Kill them for me!"

The servants rushed over fiercely.

but--

Before the servants could take a few steps, they were killed by three secret guards with a single sword strike.

Mu Pingping covered his sister's eyes with his hands in advance to prevent her from seeing the bloody scenes that she shouldn't see.

"Take this man with us and go see the prefect here." Zheng Xingguang stood up with a slightly cold expression.

"I want to see how bold a mere prefectural governor's son can be."

……

The prefect's residence, the main hall.

Zheng Xingguang sat in the first seat, and Mu Baobao and others sat below.

Magistrate Xu, his family of three, and more than two hundred servants knelt below.

The three members of Xu Zhifu's family were pale and knelt there trembling, wishing that time could go back.

Xu Yajian, in particular, wished he had never done such a stupid thing.

From childhood to adulthood, he has always been able to get whatever he wants, and no one dares to resist him.

Even his own father would not dare to really hit him, otherwise his grandfather and mother would not let him go.

This time, he thought they were just a few cheap things and he could handle them no matter how he dealt with them.

As it turned out, it was Prince Zheng and his entourage.

He is the one who is most favored by the emperor and the only son of Prince Rui, Prince Zheng Xingguang!

This person was not someone he could afford to offend. Even his grandfather had to kneel down in front of him and dared not express any dissatisfaction.

Moreover, one of them is the eldest grandson of the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, and one of them is the disciple of Doctor Deng, the former head of the Imperial Medical Service, who is famous all over the world.

No matter which one of them you pick out, he can't afford to offend them.

"Prefect Xu." Zheng Xingguang glared at Prefect Xu with a harsh tone, "Your son is quite courageous. As soon as we arrived at the inn, he made us kneel down and admit our mistakes to him, or he would kill us."

"As a member of the royal family, this is the first time I've heard of a minister's son speaking so arrogantly to the royal family. Could it be that your family and the Dong family are plotting a rebellion?"

"Of course there is," Shangguan Quan said, "Prince Zheng, if the Xu and Dong families had no intention of rebellion, would Xu Ya dare to say such words to the son of a minister?"

"Not to mention, he wantonly accepted bribes, harmed others, arranged for thugs to collect protection money, and called for the killing of others."

"Even Prince Zheng didn't dare to do such a thing, but Xu Yajian dared to do it and said that his grandfather Dong Chuan would help him take care of everything."

Hua Yun took over the conversation and nodded, "Xu Yajian dared to say such a thing, which shows that the Xu and Dong families have long been planning a rebellion. Otherwise, how could he have the courage to say it?"

"Oh!"

Zheng Xingguang threw the teacup in front of Prefect Xu, and flew into a rage, "What a Xu family! What a Dong family!"

"Please enlighten me, Prince Zheng!" Prefect Xu kept knocking his head, ignoring the debris on the ground.

With just one strike, his forehead was pierced and blood began to flow, but he did not stop for a moment.

He was very clear about how serious this matter was. If he could not get the forgiveness of Prince Zheng, the entire Xu and Dong families would be executed.

"Please forgive me, Prince Zheng!" Madam Xu and Xu Yajian, who had always been arrogant, kowtowed and begged for mercy in a panic, without any trace of their previous arrogance.

A fourth-rank Dali Temple Shaoqing is an unattainable and powerful official for many people.

But for the truly unattainable Prince Zheng in front of him, it was just a matter of a word, and the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple would become a prisoner, and even the Dong and Xu families would have their properties confiscated.

"You're begging for mercy now?" Zheng Xingguang said sarcastically, "When Young Master Xu brought a group of people to the inn to cause trouble for us, he wasn't like this."

"They just bully the weak and fear the strong," Shangguan Quan sneered. "If our status were lower than Dong Chuan's, the Xu family wouldn't let us go. They would kill us and pretend it was an accident."

This method is not uncommon, and some people will use it to harm others in order to achieve their own goals.

"Okay, you don't have to kowtow, I won't let you go." Zheng Xingguang said.

The three members of Xu Zhifu's family went from heaven to hell. They thought the matter had been uncovered, but it turned out to be impossible to uncover.

The guards forcibly dragged the three men up and made them stand aside.

Prefect Xu's forehead was covered in blood, and Madam Xu and Xu Yajian's foreheads were blue.

"I don't want to investigate how many evil things you three have done over the years." Zheng Xingguang sounded a little impatient.

"Even if you didn't participate, you are still guilty of condoning it."

"Even if you get the Yue family's help, you still have a way to deal with this matter. To put it bluntly, you are just afraid of losing your official position and career."

Prefect Xu lowered his head in guilt. Yes, he was afraid of losing his official position and career, so he didn't really do anything to his son. Instead, he kind of let him go.

"Prince Zheng," Madam Xu pleaded bitterly, "Please, for the sake of my father's service to the court..."

"Shouldn't your father be contributing to the court?" Zheng Xingguang sneered. "He sits in the position of Junior Official of the Dali Temple and should be contributing to the country and the people. That's not something you can use to negotiate with me."

"Furthermore, Dong Chuan has secretly done so many evil things over the years, and has covered up so many bad things for you and your son. How dare you say such things?"

Madam Xu still didn't think she had done anything wrong. She only had this one child, so it was right for her to pamper and protect him. The emperor also pampered Prince Zheng in the same way.

Besides, my father has contributed so much to the court over the years, so it is only right that I help their family a little.
