Mother Wu felt dizzy from knocking her head. When she looked up, she was met with a pair of scarlet eyes. She trembled all over and continued to plead with a trembling voice. Then she stopped knocking her head and raised her head to pray: "Your Highness, please have mercy on my son. Please, Your Highness..."

"It's okay to put the person down." Sang Zhi said slowly.

Wu's mother and other family members nearby were delighted when they heard this.

Sang Zhi didn't wait for them to speak before slowly adding, "You assassinated my savior. I am releasing him to hand him over to the Dali Temple for trial, so that you won't feel that you have been wronged."

Mother Wu was stunned. Although she was not very familiar with the national laws, she knew something after living in the capital for a long time. Only major cases could be sent to the Dali Temple.

Basically, few people who go in come out alive.

Xu Hongwen was also stunned. What if he was sent to the Dali Temple?

Wouldn't their Earl's Mansion be stripped to the ground without a trace left...?

Xuchang was in a panic. Matters that could be settled privately could not be handed over to the Dali Temple for trial. Everything would be exposed in the first trial.

"Your Highness... Please show mercy..." Mother Wu was very frightened.

The other family members also gathered around in panic, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.

"It's clearly written on the city gate that as long as the master goes to pick up the person, the assassination charge will be written off. You are so generous and yet you are still not satisfied. Let's handle this matter impartially." Sang Zhi was cold and patient.

Xu Hongwen frowned tightly. Shouldn’t the result be like this?

Given the Eighth Prince's temperament, why wouldn't he take action? Instead, he argued with these women.

Sang Shu also noticed something. Sang Zhi would not waste time talking to others, especially stupid people. He thought it would be better to send them to reincarnate than to waste their words.

She had seen him kill people many times because of these things.

Why is there no sign of anger today?

Wu's mother lost her voice, and the assassin was sent to the Dali Temple. All her relatives and friends were taken to the prison and interrogated one by one.

Several other family members reacted first and turned around and rushed towards Xu Hongwen.

Wu's mother also reacted, got up from the ground and rushed over.

"My son is a guard at the Earl's Mansion. The Earl's Mansion asked them to assassinate him. If they don't bring him back, I will file a complaint with the Emperor..."

"Yes, file a complaint with the emperor and let the people of the capital see how the Earl's Mansion treats its loyal guards..."

Xu Hongwen took a step back and hurriedly got into the carriage with Sang Shu.

The servants of the Earl's Mansion stopped the women tightly.

"You, and you, who work so hard for the Earl's Mansion, will also get the same result in the future. It's useless. They won't even look at you."

Mother Wu tore at the servant.

The servants were also unhappy. They all worked in the same mansion and basically knew each other. Some of them even got along well with each other. It was a pity that they ended up like this.

If only the lord could condescend to pick him up...

If they don't go...will they also end up like this when they work for the government in the future?

The servants in the Earl's Mansion began to doubt the meaning of fulfilling their duties...

Ye Qianning glanced at them. The most important thing for a big family is face. Xu Chang and Xu Hongwen would definitely not go to pick someone up in person. Even if the storm was over, it was unclear whether they would still have their face. The most fatal thing would be to completely lose the support of the people.

"Eighth Prince, it's getting late." Eunuch Li came over.

Ye Qianning made way: "Go quickly."

Sang Zhi got on the carriage and said, "I will be busy these two days and probably won't leave the palace. Please be careful."

"Who would notice me like this?"

Ye Qianning deliberately rubbed it a little darker than before.

Sang Zhi stared at her face at this moment. It was ordinary, just a dark and thin little girl, indeed not attracting much attention.

Then he thought of her peerless and extraordinary face in Dayu City. If she showed her true face to others...

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Ye Qianning saw him frowning and looked down at himself.

"That's good." Sang Zhi said seriously.

“……?”

Sang Zhi didn't say anything more and lowered the curtain.

He doesn't care about appearance, whether beautiful or ugly, as long as it's Ye Qianning.

but……

Whenever he thought of the way the men in Dayu City looked at her, he felt comfortable.

"Return to the palace."

The young eunuch shouted and the carriage started moving.

The Royal Guards turned around and followed in an orderly manner.

When Wu's mother saw the car leaving, she screamed and frantically struggled to break free from the servants and chased after the car. Seeing this, the servants also let go.

"I want to file a complaint with the emperor... I want to file a complaint with the emperor..." Mother Wu fell to the ground, staring at the car that was getting farther and farther away.

The other family members were crying. The sun was scorching and the city gate was exposed to the sun. Even a healthy person might not survive under the scorching sun, let alone the seriously injured.

"This is how the Earl's Mansion treats its guards... They're all working for the Earl's Mansion..."

Mother Wu screamed heart-wrenchingly, then her head tilted and she became motionless.

Seeing this, the other family members hurried over and said, "She seems to have fainted, please help!"

"Send him to the infirmary."

Although they did not know Wu's mother, they were all victims in this incident and shared the same fate, so two or three people held the person up.

Ye Qianning didn't want to pay attention at first, so he took a few steps and turned back: "Put him down, don't move yet."

The two women holding Wu's mother were stunned and looked at her with a little caution.

"I'm a doctor, put the man down." Ye Qianning said as he took out a leather bag from his arms, opened the bag, and a row of silver needles fell into the eyes of several people.

Seeing this, the two women looked at each other before putting Wu's mother down.

Ye Qianning took out a silver needle and placed it on the top of her head, then used the thumb of his other hand to lightly press her neck all the way to her chest, pushing with the palm of his hand.

"call--"

Mother Wu let out a breath and began to breathe rapidly.

Ye Qianning let go of his hand and took out the silver needle.

Mother Wu saw the person in front of her clearly and reached out to grab her: "You are the girl who was with the Eighth Prince just now... Girl, can you please help me beg the Eighth Prince... to let her spare my son."

Ye Qianning pulled his hand away coldly and stood up: "It wasn't the Eighth Prince or the Xiang family who killed them, it was the Earl's Mansion. Madam, don't make a mistake."

"But...but the Earl's Mansion doesn't want to intervene at all..."

"Just die." Ye Qianning interrupted her.

Mother Wu and the other three women were all stunned: "You...what did you say?"

"The Earl's Palace disowns the guards. He's dead, so what? There's no point in begging anyone. Your son didn't risk his life for others; he went to kill. Why should the victim forgive him? Conscience? Ha, conscience isn't something you have yourself. Why should you expect others to have one?"

People who use moral kidnapping are the most hateful.

“I…I…”

Ye Qianning asked: "If I kill your son and then beg you to let me go, will you let me go?"

Mother Wu's face was as pale as paper and she couldn't utter a word.

Ye Qianning turned and looked at the other women: "Same question, if I kill the man hanging on the city gate, will you let me go?"

The women standing there didn't say a word.

Ye Qianning laughed: "Look, you guys won't forgive, so why should you ask others to forgive?"
