The prince is very cruel

"Huh, you're wrong?"

"If I don't come, will you know you are wrong?"

"You are slandering Miss Lou for stealing your money. Do you think I don't know what you are thinking?" Captain Nie was cold. It was obviously not the first time he heard Liu Jin act so arrogantly. Most likely, he wanted to force a good woman into prostitution.

Liu Jin wanted to explain something in the next second.

Click!

Liu Jin's hand was twisted off alive.

"what!!"

"My hands, my hands!" The heart-wrenching screams echoed throughout the yamen, it was so cruel.

Guan Ning was shocked when he saw this. How cruel! The imperial official could just cut off a hand?

At this time, Lou Xinyue explained in a low voice: "This is how it is in Shu. These officials are just for show. The real power lies in the hands of the descendants of the Ba people."

"It's also very xenophobic here. Most of the Shu people are united, similar to some clans."

"Nie Nan is one of the descendants of the Ba people. He controls half of the river transportation and docks in Shu. He holds a high position here, so I think he might be able to help you."

Guan Ning nodded. He had a good first impression of this person and thought his temper was very compatible with his.

Then he suddenly muttered, "This guy is quite handsome."

"More handsome than me."

Lou Xinyue's forehead was full of black lines...

At this time, Nie Nan said coldly: "Liu Jin, God is watching what you do. I'll give you one chance this time. If you do it again, it won't be as simple as cutting off a hand."

"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because there's a dragon cloud over your head!"

Liu Jin was in so much pain that he rolled on the ground: "Yes, yes!"

"Captain Nie, I was wrong, I was wrong!"

Nie Nan didn't even glance at them: "Miss Lou, Brother Ning, look, is this okay?"

Lou Xinyue glanced at Guan Ning.

"Enough, enough, just teach him a lesson." Guan Ning said with a smile.

Seeing this, Nie Nan was stunned for a moment. He glanced at Guan Ning's shoulders and saw two bags, one of which was obviously Lou Xinyue's.

At that moment, there was a slight bitterness at the corner of his mouth.

But then he smiled and said enthusiastically, "Okay, in that case, let's go first."

"Although Liuzhuang is a bustling place, it's not my territory. Why don't you two come with me to Qincheng?"

Lou Xinyue was not a talkative person, and she had gotten used to Guan Ning speaking the first thing along the way, so she looked at Guan Ning.

"it is good!"

"Then Xinyue and I will bother you."

Hearing such an intimate name, Nie Nan glanced at Lou Xinyue, but she didn't react. He was shocked and a little sad.

"Please." But he remained open-minded and didn't show it.

At this time, Guan Ning seemed to have noticed something.

"Brother Nie, the way he looks at you seems to... like you?" he whispered tentatively.

Lou Xinyue said coldly: "Don't think everyone is as boring as you."

Guan Ning curled his lips, is that so?

As a man himself, he felt it and was inexplicably a little jealous. After all, Nie Nan was tall and strong, upright, and had a good background. No matter how you looked at him, he was a good man picked out of a million, especially with his uncle-like handsomeness!

Compared to herself, a married man, he seems to be more worthy of Lou Xinyue.

Not long after, the two of them had not even had time to get comfortable in Liuzhuang when they set off for their next stop, Qincheng.

……

On the night they left, Liuzhuang.

It was quiet in the middle of the night. A cold wind was howling in a large house, causing the candlelight to flicker.

"Master Long, this is what happened. I reported your name, hoping that Captain Nie would spare my life for your sake. But Captain Nie said that even if you were behind me, he would still beat me."

"They say God sees what we do. If there's a next time, it won't be as simple as just cutting off a hand." Liu Jin knelt on the ground and howled, one of his hands bandaged, looking extremely miserable.

You could hear a pin drop in the hall, which seemed a bit depressing.

A middle-aged man under thirty years old was playing with the tea bowl in his hand with a slightly cold expression.

"This Nie Nan is a bit too much."

"Come onto my property and beat my dog."

"But... you're a clerk, and I asked you to be in charge of Liuzhuang, yet you're such a coward, actually kneeling before Nie Nan. Don't you know that he and I are incompatible?"

"Disgraceful thing!"

boom!

The tea bowl landed accurately on Liu Jin's forehead, causing it to burst instantly and blood to splatter.

"Ah!!" Liu Jin covered his forehead and screamed. He was beaten by Nie Nan, and now he was beaten by his boss. He was really unlucky.

"No, Lord Long!"

"I was wrong, I was wrong!"

"Hmph!" Lord Long snorted coldly, his eyes gloomy: "Get out of here. From today on, you can go back and retire. Give up your position, and I will find someone else."

"No!"

"No, Lord Long, please, for all the years I've served you, please give me another chance!"

"Please, I even gave you my wife, you can't do this to me!" Liu Jin wailed and begged for mercy. If he was replaced, he would have nothing.

But Lord Long was obviously not an open-minded person. His eyes were dark and he didn't say a word until Liu Jin was dragged away.

"We can't just let this go."

"Nie Nan has overstepped the line!"

Immediately, several strong men stepped out and said, "Brother, whatever you want to do, my brothers and I will do it immediately!"

"This Nie Nan really thinks they're afraid of him, otherwise he'd kill him too!"

Several people showed their vicious faces.

"No."

"No matter what, the Nie family is a branch of the Ba people and has been passed down from generation to generation. If we go too far, our ancestors will definitely be unhappy. They have always been partial." When he said this, strong dissatisfaction and jealousy were revealed in his eyes.

"Then, big brother, you can't just let it go like this, right?"

"Reckon?" Long Yun sneered. His cheekbones were illuminated by the light, creating a three-dimensional effect of light and shadow, which looked quite captivating.

"Didn't Nie Nan want to protect those two outsiders? How dare he hit my dog?"

"Then let's start with the two outsiders he protected. Even if it gets out of hand, the old ancestor won't say anything."

Upon hearing this, their eyes lit up and they looked delighted.

"Yes!!"

……

The next day, in the evening, layers of crimson clouds rarely appeared in the sky, covering the endless mountains in Shu, which was particularly spectacular.

In ancient times when there was no environmental pollution, Guan Ning wished he had a camera to record this fairyland-like scene.

"It's so beautiful!" he couldn't help but exclaim.

Nie Nan, riding his steed, said with a smile, "Brother Ning, we can see clouds like this every day here, as well as various wonders. The lakes here rival those of the south of the Yangtze River, the mountains here rival those of Luoyang, and the people are simple and honest, far surpassing the capital."

"If you like, you and Miss Lou can stay here for a long time." There was a sense of pride in his tone.

"Hahaha, okay, okay. When I get old, I will definitely move here to live. I hope Brother Nie won't think I'm troublesome then." Guan Ning joked.
