With each of them contributing their own words, the maids and servants quickly explained the situation clearly.

"Replying to Your Highness, it is the manager of the Zhou family pawnshop at the city gate."

"Their shop was closest to the city gate, so they knew about what was happening there first."

"Yes, yes, it's Manager Zhou. In order to please my master, he revealed that Xu Xiaoliu colluded with... ah, ah, ah, he submitted to the princess."

“My master was extremely angry, but he couldn’t spare the time because he needed to seek help from the governor, the prefect, the magistrate Tang, and the prefect Shi. So he sent my young lady to deal with Xu Xiaoliu’s parents.”

After saying that, the group immediately knelt down and kowtowed, begging for mercy.

"Please spare our lives, Your Highness! We are of lowly status and cannot make our own decisions. All the bad things were instigated by Miss, and we dare not disobey her orders."

"Yes, yes, we dare not disobey orders, please spare our lives, Your Highness!"

"..."

Sheng Lingwei's eyes narrowed. "All of you, shut up! You're all too noisy."

None of them are good people.

Flattery and bullying of the weak are commonplace among them, and their filthy stench can be smelled from afar.

Want to get out of this? Dream on!

Before Sheng Lingwei could speak, ten bodyguards hurriedly and swiftly cut out the tongues of these people.

Pah!

With their keen eyes, they had long since investigated the filthy deeds these beasts had committed throughout their lives. Although they were servants, they had killed quite a few people.

"Waaaaah, waaaah..."

The maids and servants looked pained and ferocious, tears and snot streaming down their faces. They wanted to beg for mercy, but they were too speechless to speak.

Waaah, Princess Chang Le is truly terrifying!

Sheng Lingwei glanced at the people present and immediately ordered two guards to escort Xu Chunsheng and his wife to the princess's residence. The two guards then tied up the maids and subordinates and took them to the prefect's residence for unified distribution.

The remaining six guards, along with the bandit leader's nephew and the unconscious Wang Jiaojiao, arrived at the Zhou family pawnshop at the city gate.

The Ji brothers, Ji Qiao and Ji Yi, who were guarding the city gate, saw Sheng Lingwei immediately and rushed to her to ask her questions.

"Boss, you look like you're going to do something big. Is there anything we can help you with?"

Sheng Lingwei shook her head. "No need. You just need to guard the city gate. Oh, and also keep an eye on those bandits who are tied up and the city gate guards, in case anyone jumps out and causes trouble."

The Ji brothers' expressions turned serious, and they immediately nodded in agreement. They then returned to the city gate and gave a long speech to the other five hundred brothers.

The group instantly became incredibly energetic, gripping their weapons and looking in all directions, remaining vigilant at all times.

Hehe, they're incredibly experienced when it comes to giving people pep talks!

Sheng Lingwei smiled and shook her head, then ordered the guards, "Kick the door open for me. The turtle inside dares to cause trouble, so it will have to pay the price."

"Yes, Princess."

The guards used the two little beasts they were dragging as tools to smash the door. In less than three blows, the door crashed down, accompanied by the fat man's screams.

Although his tongue had been cut out, it didn't stop him from screaming in agony.

As for Wang Jiaojiao, she woke up once during the process, but is now in a deep coma.

The pawnshop's assistant and manager were terrified by this sudden turn of events; this was the first time in years that someone had dared to come knocking on their door.

This is absolutely outrageous!

After a moment of shock and disbelief, his body was filled with murderous intent. He quickly drew the curved knife he had hidden on his body and glared fiercely and warily at Sheng Lingwei and the others.

"What are you trying to do? Coming to our Zhou Family Pawnshop to cause trouble, don't you even know who's backing us?"

The ten guards rolled their eyes.

"Oh, who else could it be but that small, poor, and disgusting island nation... the land of cherry blossoms."

"Heh, after lying low in Yucheng County for decades, you really think you're something special? That's utterly ridiculous."

“You little beasts, of all the people in the world, only your Sakura Country is extremely treacherous and cunning, extremely stinking, extremely selfish, and extremely filthy and rotten.”

"That's right. All they do every day is scheme and plot. They have a physical body, yet they do disgusting and filthy things that are not human."

That's utterly inhuman, a veritable beast.

"Tsk tsk, don't think you've hidden yourselves well. You're secretly stirring up trouble and fanning the flames everywhere, trying to watch from the sidelines and then stalk the cicada from behind."

"Unfortunately, your schemes have long been seen through by my princess. From now on, your good days are over."

Manager Zhou and his six subordinates' faces alternated between green, white, and red, like a palette of colors, an extremely unsightly sight.

They didn't want to admit their identities, but they had brought the two witnesses on the ground, so even if they didn't want to admit it, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and admit it.

But how could they, who were always arrogant and proud, tolerate others coming to their door to humiliate them?

So he adopted an offensive stance, twitching his mustache and looking fierce and menacing.

"Baka, now that you've figured out who we are, don't even think about leaving the pawnshop."

"Heh, you trash have quite the big mouth. I wonder where you get your confidence? Is it from your own extreme shamelessness?"

Sheng Lingwei exuded an icy aura.

She loathed beasts like Shengwei and Yue Futian, but she loathed even more the scum of the Sakura Kingdom who were utterly immoral, inhuman, shameless, and heartless.

All the filth in the world could not express the extent of their malice and treachery.

The garbage of the entire island nation, from top to bottom, from ancient times to the present, from the inside out, especially the filthy and disgusting souls, all exude a rotten stench.

This is garbage!

They should be eradicated!

Let the world be clear and bright again!

Ideally, the seawater would flood the island nation, submerging it completely and sinking it to the bottom of the sea. This would be a consequence of their own actions, a fitting punishment for their sins, and a way for them to pay the price for their evil deeds.

Manager Zhou was furious and glared fiercely at Sheng Lingwei, "You, you dare to be so presumptuous! Don't think that just because you are Princess Chang Le, our Sakura Kingdom is afraid of you."

Sheng Lingwei retorted.

"Tsk tsk, you little trash, don't think that just because you're stinking, filthy maggots in the gutter, I won't crush you. Don't think too highly of yourselves, because you're not worthy."

"Aaaaaah, you damned Sheng Lingwei, I want you dead, I want to tear you to pieces!"

Manager Zhou's face flushed with anger, and he gripped his curved knife as he charged towards Sheng Lingwei.

Ten guards immediately drew their swords and rushed forward, protecting Sheng Lingwei firmly behind them. They quickly became friends with the little rascal.

The little trash was no match for them. Gritting their teeth, they exchanged a glance and then took the opportunity to pull out poison powder and sprinkle it on the guards.

Sheng Lingwei smiled coldly, waved her right hand, and a powerful gust of wind instantly blew the poison powder onto the faces and bodies of the little trash.

Their bodies, carried by the wind, fell backward uncontrollably, then crashed heavily against walls, stairs, and counters.

A series of crackling sounds rang out.

"Ouch, it hurts so much, shopkeeper! Help me! I've been poisoned! Ah..."
