The prince is very cruel

As he spoke, he looked at Prince Ping and said, "Eighth Prince, do you still want to protect this person today?"

Prince Ping's face darkened. Of course, he couldn't back down. Just as he was about to speak, Guan Ning spoke first: "Everyone has his own actions and responsibilities. This matter has nothing to do with Prince Ping's Mansion, and Prince Ping is not aware of it."

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar.

Li Zhibao was anxious.

"In that case, shall we go outside the city to solve it?" Zheng Yuan said coldly.

"We can solve it here too!" Guan Ning said, and suddenly shouted to the crowd of people watching in the distance: "Fellow villagers!"

"Listen carefully, I did kill Mr. Zheng."

boom!

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

"It's really him!"

"How dare he do that!" The people were talking about it.

King Ping frowned, it was too late to stop him. He didn't understand why Guan Ning had to admit it. It was okay for him not to admit it.

The Zheng family is already ready to make a move.

"But!" Guan Ning said loudly: "But I killed Liu Huaiqing in self-defense, and I was eliminating harm to the people!"

"It was Zheng's son-in-law Liu Huaiqing who first coveted my wife's beauty and wanted to take her for himself. That's why we had a conflict. What would you do if you encountered such a situation?"

Suddenly, there was an uproar at the scene, and the people pointed at Zheng and started talking again.

"What? Master Zheng wants to take possession of a decent girl?"

"..."

A big family like the Zheng family wants to save face, so their expressions are a little ugly.

Zheng Yuan immediately snorted coldly, "You little brat, stop slandering me! How could my son-in-law, Zheng, be interested in a woman like you, a country bumpkin?"

"That's right!"

"This is slander!"

"That's not the case at all!"

"My son-in-law is a man of good character, well-read, and kind to others. How could he possibly covet your wife?"

Guan Ning sneered: "Good character?"

"Is that right?"

"My fellow villagers, let me tell you the truth about the mine!" His voice was loud and he looked like he was determined to fight to the death.

The expressions of many people, including Zheng Yuan, changed with guilt.

Although the nobles did not care about life or death when they conscripted people for labor service, once it was exposed, it would inevitably cause public resentment and affect the Zheng family's century-long reputation.

Moreover, they knew the situation in Kufu Mountain better than anyone else. Too many people died in vain, and some did not even get paid. Some were even beaten to death.

"Shut up!!"

In an instant, at least a dozen people shouted loudly. What's more, some people took action, intending to capture Guan Ning and silence him while the people from Prince Ping's Mansion did not react in time.

"How dare you!" King Ping shouted and tried to stop him, but it was too late.

Available in the next second.

Click! !

A crisp sound of bone breaking was heard, and Guan Ning took the initiative and directly grabbed the hand of the attacker.

“Ah!!” The scream was like a pig being slaughtered, and the pain was unbearable: “My hand, my hand!”

"Bastard!"

"Let him go!" The Zheng family members shouted angrily, and they were all outraged and rushed forward.

Being so extreme and nervous, it was obvious that there was something wrong, and King Ping also realized it.

"Let's see who dares to move!" He roared and drew his sword decisively.

bass!

Swish, swish, swish... Immediately afterwards, hundreds of steel swords were unsheathed by the soldiers. The cold light reflected by them dazzled the people around. They screamed and retreated, fearing that they would be implicated.

Zheng also drew his sword, and the scene was chaotic and suffocating for a while.

Zheng Yuan had no way to arrest the man directly. He gritted his teeth in anger and said, "Your Highness Prince Ping, debts must be paid, and murder must be punished with death. This is an unchanging principle from ancient times. Are you still going to protect this person with your life?"

"You really don't care about offending the Zheng family?" He made a naked threat.

King Ping smiled triumphantly upon seeing this.

"Old man, don't use Zheng's family to threaten me. I'm not afraid!"

"Why are you so excited?"

"Is there some unspeakable secret in Kufu Mountain that you're afraid Ning Que will reveal?"

"You!" Zheng Yuan was furious, but helpless.

"Ning Que, keep talking. I'm here, and no one can take you away by force!"

"Everyone listen, if anyone from the Zheng family dares to attack me, I will kill them immediately. Even if it comes to my brother, I will be in the right!" King Ping shouted.

"Yes!!" All the soldiers shouted, their voices shaking the sky.

Zheng was so angry at the tough attitude that he wanted to use the three hostages to force King Ping to compromise.
