So satisfying! The Great Demon King wiped out everyone equally!

Lian Qiao's eyes sharpened, and she instantly recognized Fang Chengze as the beggar who had been shouting on the roadside earlier that he wanted to be the prince.

Her eyebrows immediately furrowed, and her voice was as cold and sharp as frost: "Where are you from? Upon seeing the county princess, why don't you immediately pay your respects!"

The moment Lin Shuang'er looked up and saw Cang Lan, her face turned deathly pale, as if her spine had been removed. She was unwilling, but she had no choice but to compromise.

She hurriedly pulled Fang Chengze to his knees with a thud, saying, "This humble woman kowtows to the County Princess, wishing her peace and safety."

Fang Chengze's anger flared up instantly, his face flushed red, and his eyes widened like copper bells, filled with anger and resentment.

In his little mind, he was convinced that the woman in front of him was the bad woman who had stolen his father and tried to take over his mother's position.

Lin Shuang'er often told him that he would be the Fang family's only heir in the future, the one who would inherit the entire General's Mansion, and that no one should dare to bully him.

Thinking this, he flung Lin Shuang'er's hand away, stiffened his neck, leaned forward, and shouted loudly, "My father is Fang Yuhong, the dignified Prince Fang! Why should I kneel before you?"

Canglan was just worried about not being able to find anyone, and this ingrate delivered himself right to her doorstep!

Cang Lan's eyes immediately turned cold. Without saying a word, he raised his leg and kicked Fang Chengze squarely in the abdomen.

The kick was incredibly powerful, sending Fang Chengze flying two meters away. He crashed heavily to the ground with a thud, his face contorting in pain.

“Chengze…” Lin Shuang’er hurriedly ran to Fang Chengze’s side.

Canglan ignored Lin Shuang'er's presence and approached Fang Chengze step by step.

She looked Fang Chengze up and down, her eyes full of contempt and disgust. "Oh ho, who do we have here? It's that stinking beggar who dared to block my carriage on the street."

Prince Fang has long since passed away and has been laid to rest. Yet you are impersonating him and ruining his reputation. Do you know what kind of crime this is?

And now, upon seeing me, the county magistrate, they are still so arrogant and rude—it's utterly lawless!

Suddenly, she stopped abruptly, turned to look at Lian Qiao, her eyes filled with undeniable authority: "Lian Qiao, you have shown disrespect to the county princess and impersonated the heir of the Fang family, disrupting the order of rank and status. According to the laws of our dynasty, how should you be punished?"

Lian Qiao replied solemnly and firmly, "Your Highness, according to the law, he should be given thirty strokes of the cane to uphold the law and serve as a warning to others!"

Cang Lan nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. He waved his hand lightly, as if directing a trivial farce: "In that case, let's carry out the execution and teach him a lesson."

As soon as she finished speaking, the two servants behind Lian Qiao immediately stepped forward and forcibly pulled Fang Chengze out of Lin Shuang'er's arms.

Fang Chengze was so frightened that he burst into tears, kicking his arms and legs wildly: "No, no! Sister Shuang'er, please save me!"

Lin Shuang'er was both shocked and furious. She suddenly raised her head, looking at Cang Lan with a stubborn yet resentful gaze. With a thud, she knelt down again, her voice trembling, pleading with a sob in her voice:

"Princess, please spare him! The young master is just a child! He was personally chosen by Prince Fang to be adopted, and he will be the legitimate heir of the Fang family in the future. You cannot take such drastic measures against him!"

Cang Lan seemed not to hear, and raised his hand to slap Lin Shuang'er twice across the face.

"Since that's the case, how about you take the punishment for him?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shuang'er hesitated for a long time but did not speak to stop her.

"Help me, please help me!" Fang Chengze cried out.

Cang Lan sneered, "Since someone is unwilling, then shut up. Lian Qiao, carry out the execution!"

Upon receiving the order, the servants immediately swung their paddles and began to beat Fang Chengze's buttocks hard.

"Slap slap slap..." The paddle landed on Fang Chengze's body again and again, hitting him quickly and hard.

Fang Chengze started shouting loudly, but after a few blows, his voice gradually weakened. When he was hit seven or eight times, he fainted from the pain.

Finally, after the thirty strokes of the cane were finished, Lianqiao stepped forward and respectfully said, "Your Highness, it's over."

Cang Lan nodded, his eyes devoid of any emotion: "Alright, let's go." With that, he led the group away in a grand procession.

Lin Shuang'er trembled as she picked up Fang Chengze, her eyes filled with jealousy and resentment. "Yun Muqing, you just wait! My cousin will definitely avenge me!"

Then, she looked at Fang Chengze, who was lying unconscious in her arms, and cried out, "My Ze-ge, it's all my fault, I wasn't able to protect you..."

She held Fang Chengze tightly and hurried towards the Fang family's courtyard.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Lin Shuang'er cried out anxiously, "Madam, Yu Wan, please save Chengze! He's about to die!"

This shout instantly jolted Fang Shi and Fang Yuwan, who were immersed in grief over Fang Yuhong's death.

The two rushed over, and Fang Yuwan immediately took Ze Ge into her arms and carefully placed him on the bed.

When Fang saw Fang Chengze's bloody and mangled buttocks, she was stunned. Her eyes widened in shock, filled with heartache and anger.

"What's wrong with Chengze?" Fang Yuwan gasped, asking in alarm.

Fang was even more furious. She turned around abruptly, kicked Lin Shuang'er to the ground, and shouted, "I told you to take care of Brother Ze, and this is how you take care of him?"

Lin Shuang'er groaned as she was kicked, curling up on the ground in pain. She protested tearfully, "Madam, it's not my fault! It was Yun Muqing, she ordered the beating! Thirty strokes of the cane! We must hurry and call the doctor, please, if we're any later, Chengze will..."

Fang was extremely anxious and didn't bother to listen to her explanation. She shouted to Fang Yuwan, "Quickly, go find Granny Zhang and fetch a doctor!"

Fang Yuwan looked troubled and stammered, "Mother, where do we get the money to treat Ze Ge?"

Fang was trembling with rage and roared, "Go when I tell you to! This is the only descendant of our Fang family, we must save him! No matter what it takes, we must get a doctor here!"

Although Fang Yuwan was very unwilling, she could only hurry out to find Granny Zhang.

Once Fang Yuwan left, Lin Shuang'er noticed Fang Yuhong, whose face was deathly pale, lying on the ground.

She staggered over and tremblingly placed her fingers under Fang Yuhong's nose. They were ice-cold to the touch, and there was no breath in them.

"Madam, cousin, what's wrong with cousin?"

With a face full of grief, Fang said in a hoarse voice, "He died, he died from poisoning...he died."

After hearing this, Lin Shuang'er stared in disbelief at the lifeless Fang Yuhong lying on the ground.

She has not yet become the mistress of the general's mansion!

She has never enjoyed wealth and luxury!

He died just like that!

Do not!impossible!

She then threw herself at him like a madwoman, grabbing his arms tightly and shaking him violently, crying out, "Cousin, wake up! This must be fake. You and your wife must have come up with another way to scheme against Yun Muqing, right? Right?"
