Upon hearing what Sheng Lingwei said, the people's expressions changed drastically, and their eyes were filled with intense resentment as they looked at Princess Wu'an.

I see!

They said that for more than a year, children had been going missing in their Xianyang County, and although they had reported it to the authorities, nothing came of it; the government did not pay any attention to the matter.

As a result, the disappearance of the child caused a great uproar and widespread panic. Families with children tried to keep their children from going out, and the situation improved somewhat afterward.

Unexpectedly, the culprit was none other than the lofty Prince Wu'an's mansion.

In their quest for immortality, they have gone so far as to devour the hearts and livers of children and drink their blood. This is utterly outrageous and deserving of death!

Princess Wu'an immediately sensed the overwhelming anger of the people and was filled with fear. She lowered her head and dared not look Sheng Lingwei in the eye.

Anyone could see his guilty and evasive demeanor.

The people's eyes reddened, and they wished they could rush up and beat Princess Wu'an to death.

"snort!"

Sheng Lingwei gave a heavy, cold snort.

"I have made myself perfectly clear. You must confess in detail all the dirty deeds your royal family has done over the years."

But you pretended to comply while secretly disagreeing, deliberately mentioning the less serious offenses.

Therefore, you have neither completed the tasks I assigned you, nor have you sincerely repented for your actions. I truly do not know where you get the audacity to question me.”

"That's right, you deserve to die, you deserve to die a thousand deaths."

The people were filled with anger, and one of them couldn't help but throw stones at Princess Wu'an.

"Your entire Prince Wu'an's mansion is full of beasts! Give me back my child! Give me back my child! Waaah..."

"Brothers and sisters, smash it! Smash it as hard as you can! The people of the Prince of Wu'an's mansion deserve to die."

"Damn the Prince of Wu'an's Mansion! Give me back my hard-earned money! Give me back my beautiful daughter! You are the devils! You are the biggest devils in Xianyang County!"

"My lord, did you see that from heaven? The Prince of Wu'an's mansion has received its retribution. You can go and reincarnate in peace now, sob sob..."

"Hit me, I'll hit you! I'll beat you to death, you woman! You didn't discipline your son properly, letting him humiliate my daughter and causing her to die from humiliation! You deserve to die!"

"..."

"Waaah, stop hitting me! You lowly commoners, stop right now!"

Princess Wu'an was in great pain as countless stones were hurled at her. She felt like dying and wished she could just end it all with one blow.

"Aaaaaah, it hurts so much! You lowly commoners, I'll remember you! My lord will not let you get away with this! Aaaaaah..."

The common people rolled their eyes dismissively, too lazy to listen to her nonsense.

Your prince is now a prisoner, how could he possibly save you?

Besides, with Princess Chang Le present, they could vent their anger to their heart's content, and the princess did not stop them from doing so.

Princess Wu'an screamed miserably as she was hit, her voice growing fainter and fainter until there was no sound at all, at which point Sheng Lingwei finally spoke.

"Alright, the man is dead, everyone can stop now."

The people stopped what they were doing and let out a long sigh of relief.

Sheng Lingwei glanced around at all the people, her expression turning serious.

"Listen up, everyone. There is no such thing as immortality in this world, nor is there any way to make someone immortal. I hereby warn you not to follow the example of the Wu'an Prince's Mansion and become so ruthless. Otherwise, once discovered, I will not let you off lightly."

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and they quickly replied, "Yes, we will heed Princess Chang Le's advice."

Most of them are honest and law-abiding ordinary people who just want to live a peaceful life and have no desire to do anything immoral or unethical.

They knew full well that cause and effect, and retribution, were intolerable to the forces of nature.

Besides, Princess Chang Le is a fairy descended from heaven; if they do anything bad, she will know immediately.

Next, Sheng Lingwei told the people to dispose of the body of Princess Wu'an themselves and clean up the ground. She also told them that they could go to the Wu'an Prince's Mansion to see how Sheng Kun and the others were tortured.

The people were immediately thrilled upon hearing this.

Only by witnessing the death of the Prince of Wu'an and his family could they finally vent their anger.

So, after everyone worked together to clean up the market, they rushed to the Prince Wu'an's Mansion.

At this moment, Sheng Lingwei had already instructed Zhu Kui and the others to take Sheng Kun and his family outside the Prince's Mansion for torture, which would be convenient for the common people to watch.

She had two objectives.

First, this opportunity allows the people to vent their anger and resentment.

Second, by making an example of someone, she serves as a warning to everyone. Sheng Lingwei is extremely intolerant of any wrongdoing. Everyone should carefully consider what they should and shouldn't do.

In the end, Sheng Kun and his family endured tortures such as being roasted over charcoal, being sliced ​​into pieces, having their hearts and lungs ripped out, and being deep-fried in oil, dying in extreme agony.

——

Before we knew it, it was June 3rd.

Counting the days, Sheng Lingwei and her group have been in Xianyang County for a full ten days.

The heavy snow stopped three days ago, and the scorching sun returned, relentlessly baking the earth.

The ice and snow quickly melted, turning into countless small streams, which then converged into large streams, thus triggering natural disasters such as mudslides and floods.

Xianyang Prefecture, with its high elevation and vast area, was unaffected by the flood, but the surrounding small counties suffered severe damage.

In the past ten days, Sheng Lingwei and Jing Qingyun used ruthless methods to capture and imprison all those involved with Sheng Kun as quickly as possible.

Those who resisted or attempted to escape were all executed on the spot. The rest were either arrested, killed, or had their homes confiscated.

As for the counties surrounding Xianyang Prefecture, almost all of the county magistrates were arrested and brought to justice. Fortunately, Jing Qingyun promoted capable people to take over the positions of county magistrates as soon as possible.

He was good at recognizing talent, and these new county magistrates were quite capable, leading people to rescue the affected people at the first sign of mudslides and floods.

Of course, they were not fighting alone. Sheng Lingwei and Jing Qingyun's group were also busy, each taking charge of a county.

As for disaster relief supplies, Sheng Lingwei took care of everything, since all the confiscated assets of Sheng Kun and his gang had gone into her personal space.

This is what is meant by taking from the people and using it for the people.

She arrived at Gancao County, which was the farthest from Xianyang Prefecture and also the county most severely affected by the disaster.

As far as the eye could see, the entire small county town was submerged in floodwaters, and the raging floodwaters continued to wash over the houses that had not yet been destroyed.

"Waaah, Mom and Dad, is anyone there? Please come and save my parents!"

"Son, take care of yourself and make sure you live well."

"Help! Someone please save my family! They're drowning! Waaah..."

"Everyone, don't move around. This roof won't be able to support so many of us for long. Try not to move around."

"God, please open your eyes and look!"

"..."

The people of Gancao County cried out in panic, pleaded for help, wept, and screamed in pain.

A cacophony of sounds filled the air, echoing throughout the land.
