The prince is very cruel

His tone was very firm. There was no room for negotiation on this matter. If he condoned evil for his own benefit, he would be no different from the five major families.

After hearing this, Linghu Bei's face immediately changed.

"What do you mean?"

"It means exactly what it says." Guan Ning said.

"You want me to be your man, not the imperial one?" Linghu Bei narrowed his eyes. He was definitely not an ordinary ruffian, and he got to the point directly.

Guan Ning nodded calmly: "Yes."

"What if I don't agree?"

Guan Ning put his hands behind his back and said coldly, "Then I will act just the same, but I will just avoid you."

"The five major families have committed countless evil deeds and killed countless people. I will definitely eradicate them. Then you will lose the opportunity to make amends."

Linghu Bei was horrified when he heard this. If anyone else said that the five major families were destroyed, he would just think it was a joke, but Guan Ning in front of him gave him a feeling that his words were followed by reality!

There was another moment of silence.

But Linghu Bei was not hesitating about whether to rebel against the five major families, because he had fallen out with the family a long time ago and separated from it. He did not want to stain his hands with too much blood. This was his promise to his daughter.

"Then I have a condition."

"Help me finish this, and I'll help you!"

"What's the matter?" Guan Ning raised his eyebrows.

"Help me release someone!" Linghu Bei gritted his teeth. "In the early years, the five major families were notorious. The Linghu family looted goods on the river and killed several innocent people."

"It turns out that the person behind these people was the then-prefect of Jin County."

"The county governor was furious and sent people to arrest several people from my Linghu family."

"My wife is one of them, but my wife and I didn't participate in the robbery at all. We didn't even know that my wife took the blame for the family!" As he spoke, his eyes were bloodshot and he was extremely angry.

Guan Ning was surprised. Is this true?

"Doesn't your family want to find a way to save them?"

"How is it possible!" Linghu Bei felt chilled and angry when he talked about this matter, and his fists were clenched so hard that they made crackling sounds.

"After all, the other party is the county governor, a powerful figure. They are afraid of attracting the imperial army to encircle and suppress them, so they have repeatedly declined."

"Because of this, I broke away from my family and came to live alone on the embankment upstream with my daughter."

"Over the years, whenever Rong'er asked me where her mother was, I didn't dare to speak. I felt so sorry for them. If I had left here earlier, her mother wouldn't have been thrown in jail, and the child wouldn't be left alone..."

At the end of his speech, he choked up.

The man did not cry easily because he did not reach the sad spot.

Guan Ning nodded. This was really unfortunate. The evil done by the five major families had to be borne by an innocent woman.

"What's the name of that county magistrate?"

Linghu Bei raised his head with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. Over the years, he had thought of ways to rescue him, both openly and secretly, but without exception, none of them worked. The other party was the county governor, a real local boss, appointed by the emperor.

But Guan Ning's reaction gave him hope.

"Call, call Lu Ziming!"

"Can you help me rescue my wife? As long as you can save her and ensure the safety of my family, I am willing to do anything!" He gritted his teeth and gave it his all, his eyes almost pleading.

For the sake of his wife and daughter, he didn't care about anything else.

Guan Ning did not look down on him at all, but instead respected him.

"Lu Ziming?"

"it is good."

"I will ask him to release him within ten days!" Guan Ning said confidently.

Hearing this, Linghu Bei was excited and grabbed Guan Ning tightly: "Really?"

"Do you think I'm a liar?" Guan Ning said.

Linghu Bei felt like he was dreaming. When he first ran into Guan Ning, he had never expected such a conversation to take place. He was extremely excited because asking the county governor to release the people was as difficult as climbing to the sky for him!

"it is good!"

"Okay!" He babbled incoherently. "Whatever you need, money, I can gather any amount, as long as they're willing to release my wife and let her come back to reunite with my daughter!"

Guan Ning smiled and said, "I just want him to let someone go. It doesn't cost any money."

"You should prepare to help me open the dike and take over the Fengdu River."

Linghu Bei was shocked. Just one sentence?

He couldn't calm down. Who on earth was this guy, who was only in his early twenties? He didn't look like a government official, with a chivalrous spirit, but he had all-powerful hands and eyes.

Regardless, he believed it, his eyes filled with awe.

"Okay, then I'm waiting for your good news!"

"As long as you can help me complete this task, I will be at your disposal and work like a slave. If you break this oath, heaven will strike you with thunder!" Linghu Bei made a solemn oath.

"Then it's a deal."

"I'm going to do this now. You keep the news secret. Don't let anyone know I'm here. Otherwise, people from the five major families will show up, and everything will be ruined."

Linghu Bei was startled, his face looking solemn and stern. No one could stop him and disrupt the rescue of his wife.

"it is good!"

"I'll arrange it myself immediately!"

"Someone, come and serve tea!" Linghu Bei shouted.

"Yes!"

Many of Linghu Bei's confidants were surprised. What happened to the Second Master? "Serving tea" and "serving tea" are different. The word "serving" means "being a distinguished guest."

Guan Ning came to Lou Xinyue.

"Big brother!" the little girl shouted with a smile.

Guan Ning rubbed her head lovingly and said with a smile, "Rong'er, can you find something to eat for big brother?"

"Okay, okay, the pear tree my father planted has borne fruit, and it's so sweet. I'll go get some for big brother!" Rong'er was innocent and ran out immediately, followed by several people.

Seeing the man walk away, Lou Xinyue quickly asked, "How is it?"

"Is it settled?"
