The prince is very cruel

"The other noble families are naturally unwilling to get involved in such a mess. After all, the matter is too serious. Moreover, according to reliable sources, those noble families not only refused to help, but even took advantage of the situation and swallowed up the Zheng family's assets."

"Although the Zheng family resisted and some minor conflicts broke out, my father has basically taken control of Xingyang."

Hearing this, everyone was delighted.

"This damn Zheng family, it's time to pay the price!"

"Yeah, it's so satisfying!"

"A mine has killed so many corvées. The demise of the Zheng family is nothing to be regretted!"

"God is watching what we do!" Shengqi and others were filled with righteous indignation.

Guan Ning nodded, and suddenly thought of something: "Brother Li, can you do me another favor?"

Li Zhibao had great respect for Guan Ning. If it were not for Guan Ning, the Zheng family would never have fallen. Without an absolute legitimate reason, the emperor would have been powerless to deal with them.

This time, the great enemy of Prince Ping's Mansion has been eliminated, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will be appreciated for his contribution in presenting treasures.

"Brother Ning, you say, as long as you ask, I will do it."

Guan Ning whispered something in his ear.

Hearing this, Li Zhibao was shocked: "Brother Ning, why did you meet her? Do you know her?"

"I consider myself acquainted with her. I have some business with her."

Li Zhibao hesitated and whispered a warning: "Brother Kening, it's a mess over there now. There's a high probability that everyone will be executed. It's not a good idea for you to see her now."

"I know the severity of the case, don't worry. Just tell His Royal Highness Prince Ping to take him into custody and send him back to Ling County."

"I still have use for this person."

Hearing this, Li Zhibao didn't know what to say: "Okay, I'll leave now."

"It just so happens that my father sent me a message asking me to go to Xingyang."

Guan Ning nodded: "I will wait for Brother Li's triumphant return home."

Li Zhibao scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile, "Brother Ning, you are too kind. If it weren't for you and my father, I would be a useless piece of mud."

"You can't say that. How do you know that you won't become a world-famous figure in the future?" Guan Ning said with a smile.

"A world-famous figure?" Li Zhibao was stunned for a moment, and his eyes gradually lit up, as if after getting to know Guan Ning, his life began to get on the right track and a seed was planted in his heart.

Guan Ning clearly didn't do anything, but this was an extremely special feeling.

three days later.

News came from Xingyang again that all the 3,000 members of the Zheng family, excluding retainers, servants, and distant relatives, were captured, and the group of young men who resisted stubbornly were massacred.

Ninety-seven local officials above the fourth rank were dismissed. It is so terrifying, and we can see how powerful the clan is.

Xingyang was a river of blood. If the Zheng family was not too noble, those involved would be either important figures or people from other aristocratic families. This reckoning might have implicated all nine clans!

What awaits the Zheng family will be a catastrophe. The men will most likely be sent to the capital to be executed. As for the women, they will probably become collections of some bigwigs, or directly become slaves and prostitutes.

It can be said that this ancient and mysterious family was in its heyday just one night ago, overlooking the entire Central Plains and being the overlord of one side, but one night later, it fell to the point of genocide.

One can't help but sigh that a thousand-mile long dike can be destroyed by an ant hole!

This day.

It was Guan Ning's twentieth day staying in Prince Ping's Mansion. Winter was getting colder and colder. The cold wind was accompanied by snowflakes, which fell on the eaves. The silver snow and the sunshine formed a beautiful scenery.

Guan Ning and Yuan Xiang were playing in the yard when suddenly, servants from the palace came.

"Mr. Ning, the person you wanted has been arranged by the prince. What do you think?"

"Where?" Guan Ning's eyes lit up, he had finally waited for it.

"My lord, it's secretly sealed in the Lingjun government office. You can bring it here if you want." The soldier whispered cryptically.

"No, I'll go by myself. Wait for me."

"Yes!"

"You talk like a thief." Yuan Xiang came over, wearing a scarlet cotton-padded jacket and an eight-treasure satin long skirt underneath. It perfectly outlined her figure, highlighting the nobility of a rich lady, while also giving her a lively and beautiful girlish air.
