Chapter 45: Break her legs and put her in jail

Lord Li of the Dali Temple's expression suddenly changed, and Minister Wu slammed the table with his hand. Anger instantly spread, and the remaining heat from the fire began to roll up again.

It's ridiculous.

I've been an official for so long, but this is the first time I've heard someone dare to say they don't want to go to the dungeon!

"Chu Jiuning, merchants are lowly, even lower than ordinary people. What do you think of this dungeon? Do you think you can come and go as you please?"

He is so ignorant and presumptuous. Such a person has no fear unless he is tortured. Lord Wu pointed at Jiu Ning.

"If she refuses to go, break her legs and drag her over."

The yamen runners immediately surrounded them in a threatening manner.

A tall yamen runner grinned and stretched out his hand to grab Chu Jiuning. Amber's face suddenly changed. She pushed through the crowd and took a few steps forward. With her chubby little hands, she pinched the yamen runner's shoulders with her bare hands. The yamen runner didn't care at first. He pinched Amber's hand with his backhand and wanted to throw her away. As a result, Amber pinched his shoulders tightly and threw him into the air easily.

"Ah, help!"

With a scream, the yamen runner fell into the fork of a big tree with a bang and couldn't get out.

This move was so brilliant that it stunned several adults and yamen runners instantly!

"That's it."

Song Jinhuai's eyes lit up, and he excitedly shook his finger, pointing at the yamen runner hanging on the tree.

"This girl is incredibly strong. Embarrassing herself is nothing. She could pull up a tree this big with her own hands. We saw it with our own eyes. You all saw her throwing people just now, right? So they not only have the motive, but also the ability to do such a thing. They rely on their few filthy riches to disregard our Song Mansion and the laws of the Great Dynasty. They are completely fearless!"

The law is the foundation of the country. If she doesn't take it seriously, it means she doesn't take the Great Dynasty seriously and the emperor seriously. Now, let's see how Chu Jiuning responds.

really.

The faces of the adults all darkened, their impression of Chu Jiuning deteriorated by seven points, and they also believed Song Jinhuai's words by seven points.

indeed.

With Amber's ability to send people flying into the sky with a single slap, ordinary people can't get close to her at all. It's very possible for her to do anything she wants.

This is simply too terrifying. How can there be a woman with the strength of an ox? Such a person cannot be kept.

"Did you kill my daughter?"

Mrs. Chen's eyes were red with hatred. Her daughter had learned martial arts and it was impossible for her to get into trouble so easily, so the only one who could subdue her was Amber.

Without caring about anything else, Mrs. Chen pointed at her and said angrily.

"Kill her."

The words had just fallen.

The servants around her raised their weapons and attacked Amber.

Amber flashed.

"Amber, be careful."

Chu Jiuning called out softly, and Amber immediately felt relieved and started fighting with the man without any scruples.

Lord Li watched coldly, but he immediately saw the trick. This girl's martial arts skills were not very good, but she was extremely strong and could win by strength alone.

Mrs. Chen stared at Chu Jiuning with tearful eyes and looked at her angrily.

Chu Jiuning was not at all panicked. She slowly raised her eyes to meet Mrs. Chen's resentment and smiled coldly. Mrs. Chen suddenly felt a chill all over her body.

"I'll chop you to death!"

The servant failed several times and roared at Amber. He jumped up, raised the sword in his hand and chopped it down at Amber's head. He thought that Amber, who was unarmed, would be scared and scream and dodge, but not only did she not dodge, she even raised her hand to block his sword.

Not only did everyone present gasp, even the person attacking Amber hesitated. He really couldn't understand why anyone would raise his hand to block the sword.

No matter how strong she is, one sword can still cut off her hand.

It was not until a crisp bang was heard and the sword hit the hard object that everyone suddenly realized that Amber had an iron wrist piece as thin as a cicada's wing on her wrist.

Obviously, they were well prepared.

Seeing this, Mrs. Chen became more and more agitated and almost believed that Amber was the murderer of her daughter.

With a wave of hand.

Seven or eight servants rushed towards Amber. Lord Wu knew that Eunuch Chen would definitely intervene in this case, so he did not hesitate and scolded him coldly.

"Chu Jiuning, you have to go today whether you want to or not. You are the biggest suspect in this case."

So many people died, they had to solve the case as soon as possible. It didn't matter whether Chu Jiuning was the real murderer or a fake murderer. What mattered was that the Duke of Song's Mansion also wanted her dead.

"Catch her."

The Duke's wife also hurriedly gave orders, and the servants of the Song Mansion also surrounded her.

Just a moment.

Whether it was Shuntian Prefecture, Duke Song's Mansion, or other mansions, almost everyone surrounded Chu Jiuning with murderous intent.

Crowded.

She was surrounded so tightly that she couldn't breathe.

There was a glimmer of evil in Song Jinhuai's eyes. He took advantage of the yamen runner's inattention to pull out the long sword from his waist and stabbed it into Chu Jiuning's heart.

"You've caused my Song Mansion to suffer from restlessness, and now we're involved in a murder case. I'm going to kill you."

The murderous intent was fierce, and it was obvious that he wanted to kill himself.

Chu Jiuning's long eyelashes flickered slightly as she stared at the tip of the sword that was about to pierce her heart. Even though she was wearing a heart guard, she felt a tearing sensation in her heart.

"I'm finally going to die."

Song Ruier murmured happily, and was pulled back a few steps by the Duke's wife. The mother and daughter smiled secretly.

yes.

Finally dying.

Jin Huai's sword was excellent, and it killed Chu Jiuning unexpectedly. This way the case could be closed quickly and they could be safe.

It seems that Chu Jiuning is dead.

Just when everyone thought so, a sharp collision sound made their ears hurt badly, and then they saw in horror that the sword in Song Jinhuai's hand was hit and sparks flew. Song Jinhuai seemed to have been punched hard by someone, and he suddenly fell sideways towards the crowd.

A powerful murderous aura rushed towards them like a ferocious beast.

The faces of several adults changed and they all stood up.

Horrifying discovery.

Wearing a bright yellow five-clawed python robe and filled with murderous aura, he slowly walked towards this side.

The closer you get, the more murderous aura becomes.

On the tree.

Shen Liuguang, holding the hidden weapon that had not yet been used, flew down silently.

The whole garden was suddenly silent, and it felt like suffocation.

Several adults led everyone present to kneel down.

"I greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince."

…

The prince did not ask them to stand up. Instead, he walked straight to Chu Jiuning and bent down to help her up.

When Minister Wu saw this, his eyelids jumped and he stepped forward and said.

"Your Highness, this woman is suspected of murder and has been arrested. Her crime is truly heinous. I am about to take her away."

"Take her away?"

The prince turned around, and Lord Wu immediately bowed and took a step back. The prince sat down and asked coldly.

"Where are you taking it?"

Seeing the Crown Prince's attitude, the others felt their hearts sink. What did His Highness want to do by suddenly appearing? They had originally thought he was here to help the Song family, but now it seemed more like he was here to help Chu Jiuning.

"Of course, we'll go down into the dungeon first and make a final decision after we find the remains of the four young ladies."

"Conclusion?"

There was a hint of murderous intent in his sharp eyes, which made sweat break out on the foreheads of several adults.

"That means it has not yet been confirmed that she is the murderer."

These words were blunt and showed no mercy. The adults really wanted to find a hole to crawl into. They were intentionally biased towards the Song family, so...

Lord Wu quickly glanced at Lord Li, and Lord Li stepped forward and knelt.

"Your Highness, I'm not sure, but all the evidence points to her. I think it's okay to put her in jail."

"What about the Song family? Aren't they imprisoned?"

These words frightened the Lady of the Duke and Song Jinhuai so much that they could hardly stand. They didn't want to be thrown into the dungeon, as it was not a place for powerful people like them.

Lord Li was so frightened by the prince that he fell to his knees and continued.

"The Song Mansion's suspicion is still minimal for the time being, and they have no grudges against the young ladies. They would never do such a foolish thing in their own house. After consideration, they will not be imprisoned for the time being."

"Then she won't go either!"

Chu Jiuning raised her eyelashes suddenly, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. She didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would come and protect her so much.

"Your Highness."

Lord Wu suppressed his anger and stepped forward to speak.

"Your Highness seems to have no authority to control the Ministry of Justice's investigation. She is a suspect, and it is my duty to put her in the dungeon. I hope Your Highness will understand..."

"I say..."

interrupt him.

The prince raised his handsome face slightly, and under his sharp sword-like eyebrows, his cold eyes were tinged with a hint of anger. When they fell on Lord Wu, it was like a murderous force strangling his throat. He looked at Lord Wu, who was dripping with cold sweat, and his voice was icy.

"She's not going anywhere!"
