After Jing Qingyun left, Shen Yang let out a long sigh of relief, which made Sheng Lingwei laugh.

"Yang, why are you so afraid of my little Yunzi?"

Chen Xin blinked her big eyes, equally curious.

She's always been oblivious, and she hadn't realized before that her brother was so afraid of Jing Ge. "Yeah, brother, Jing Ge is a really nice guy, why are you afraid of him?"

Shenyang gave an awkward smile, "Boss, I... I'm just intimidated by your man's aura because he's too powerful."

Sheng Lingwei: "...Hehe!" This conversation is over.

Shen Xin couldn't help but roll her eyes delicately.

"Brother, don't you know that every time you lie, you can't look people in the eye and your hands clench unconsciously?"

Shenyang: "..." Little sister, you're really good at sabotaging others.

Shen Yang looked at Sheng Lingwei embarrassedly, chuckling incessantly, intending to play dumb and get away with it.

Sheng Lingwei was speechless. She wasn't a wicked stepmother. "Fine, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't. I won't keep pressing you for details."

Shenyang breathed a sigh of relief and immediately began to flatter him.

"Hehe, my eldest son is much more magnanimous and broad-minded, unlike my younger sister who only knows how to eat and has no sense of consideration for others."

"Hey, brother," Chen Xin said angrily, "We can't praise one and put the other down. Besides, you say all I do is eat, but you're no different. You eat even more than me. You're just a pig."

Shenyang:"……"

"Pfft!"

Sheng Lingwei couldn't help but burst into laughter, "You two siblings can bicker all you want! Why do you have to call yourselves pigs? You're just insulting yourselves."

Chen Xin's eyes widened. "It seems so! Humph, it's all my brother's fault."

Shenyang sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Yeah, it's all my fault. Even my breathing is wrong. Is that alright?"

Sheng Lingwei immediately put on a stern face. Knowing the nature of these two siblings, their bickering would never end.

"Alright, shut up. Now is not the time to argue. The injuries on the four elders have been almost healed. You should quickly clean them up."

As she spoke, Sheng Lingwei took out the clothes that the Shen family needed to wear from her spatial storage and removed the vines that were wrapped around their wrists.

He stood up and continued, "My task is complete. The rest is up to you. Don't worry, the four elders will wake up soon."

Shen Yang and Shen Xin were overjoyed and quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Boss."

...

In the blink of an eye, the quiet iron mine gradually became noisy, the sound growing louder and louder, with an overwhelming and earth-shaking momentum.

There were angry curses, shouts, cries, cheers, and shouts from the common people; there were also the pitiful screams, roars, and sobs of the officers and soldiers...

The pent-up resentment of the more than 20,000 people who had been brought to the mines finally erupted at this moment.

They first gave the unconscious soldiers a good beating and tied them up. Then they went to the wooden house and surrounded it completely, not letting a single soldier who tried to escape escape.

Only when the soldiers were beaten black and blue by Nangong Zichen and his men and were lying on the ground did they go up and tie them up.

The scene of one-sided beatings continued, leaving the officers and soldiers covered in bruises, crying and begging for mercy.

But without exception.

The more they begged for mercy, the more brutally the people beat them, an eye for an eye, just like the officials and soldiers had treated them before.

Is that too much?

That's not an exaggeration at all!

Think of the innocent family members who died at their hands, think of the young girls and women who were tortured to death by them.

Then think of those children they kidnapped, whose fate is now unknown. How can they not feel resentment?

Moreover, Princess Chang Le said that they would vent their grievances and seek revenge, and if they encountered anyone who resisted, they would kill them on the spot.

These beasts deserved to die!

With everyone's cooperation, in less than an hour, all three thousand officers and soldiers were tied up.

In addition, more than 500 to 600 people were killed in the enraged crowd, and their bodies are now piled up in the mine.

The people, seeing Sheng Lingwei and Jing Qingyun standing on the high platform, wiped away their tears and hurriedly knelt down to express their gratitude.

"Thank you, Princess Chang Le and Prince Jing, for coming to our rescue. We are deeply grateful but have no way to repay you except to kowtow three times."

Sheng Lingwei and Jing Qingyun exchanged a glance, a helpless smile on their lips, and used their spiritual power to help everyone up.

Although Jing Qingyun had to start cultivating his superpowers from scratch, his mental strength was very strong. Although he couldn't compare to Sheng Lingwei, he had still reached the SS level.

However, he is a low-key person and good at hiding his true strength.

Apart from the five or six people who had been helped up once before, everyone else present was dumbfounded and incredulous.

Good heavens, they were just helped up like that?!

Is this the legendary magic?

Fifty or sixty people raised their necks high and glanced disdainfully at the people around them: Hmph, so spineless, like people who have never seen the world, unlike them!

(￣y▽￣)~*Sneaking a laugh while covering my mouth!

Sheng Lingwei pondered for a moment, then looked at the more than 20,000 people with a serious and earnest expression.

"The weather is cold now, so it is not suitable for you to go to other places. You should stay in the mine for the time being. I will have someone send you food, charcoal, medicine, clothing and other supplies later."

After the weather gets warmer.

When the time comes, people from the imperial court will come to settle you. At that time, you can choose to return to your hometown or settle down in other places.

Don't worry, everyone. The current emperor and empress are benevolent and virtuous, and have the world in their hearts. They will surely take good care of you.

Furthermore, after I confiscate the Prince of Wu'an's residence, I will give each of you a certain amount of silver to ensure your future livelihood.

The people were deeply moved by Sheng Lingwei's words, and some even burst into tears.

What's wrong with this world?

Princess Chang Le, who was rumored to be ruthless killer, arrogant and domineering, and had a bad reputation since childhood, became their savior.

The King of Wu'an, who was rumored to be magnanimous and benevolent, and who offered generous resettlement conditions to refugees, was actually a complete beast.

Therefore, rumors are not to be believed!

People should not blindly follow trends, and especially should not trust those who appear respectable. Who knows how dark their true nature may be?

It wasn't until they were brought to the mine that they realized that the Prince of Wu'an was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing and didn't genuinely want to take in these refugees.

He simply set a trap for them, making them willingly fall into it and become slaves whom he could beat or kill at will.

Ah, how treacherous people can be. This experience has taught them a lesson they will never forget.

Just then.

Nangong Zichen and his fourteen companions, each leading a group of thirty-odd men bound by ropes, excitedly approached Sheng Lingwei.

"Sister, we've captured everyone from that mansion not far from the mine. They were planning to escape, but luckily we spotted them."

The man tied at the front glared fiercely, his eyes wide with rage, and said:

"Who are you people? Release me now, or my father will tear you to pieces."
