The court was solemn and dignified, but Fan Linghua's thoughts had already drifted away. Her beautiful eyes were always looking out the door, as if there was something more important than the trial of the criminals attracting her, so much so that she completely ignored Zhang Wenyuan's occasional glances.
At this moment, Fan Linghua's heart was filled with mixed emotions:
"Oh my, what am I going to say later? Oh, speaking of that boy... I wonder if he has a crush on someone? If he already has someone in his heart, then I don't have any chance at all? Oh my God! What should I do! What should I do!"
Just as she was daydreaming, a clear cough suddenly came from the front. Fan Linghua was startled and quickly collected her thoughts. She looked carefully and found that it was Zhang Wenyuan who was looking at her seriously and asked:
"General Fan, what do you think about this matter?"
It was only then that Fan Linghua came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream. She turned her head in confusion and looked at Zhou Yang who was kneeling on the ground. After calming down a little, she cleared her throat and said:
"Well... your name is Zhou Yang, right? I heard that you are the second son of the Dagan Mu Palace. But who would have thought that you would travel thousands of miles to our Da Chu to buy female slaves? You ran really far! Then I would like to ask you, what exactly happened between you and those female slaves?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yang immediately raised his head and shouted:
"No! Absolutely not! I bought them purely because my family was short of manpower. I have no other bad intentions. Please understand!" There is absolutely no such situation!"
Fan Linghua patted the chair beside her gently, and then said loudly: "It's not enough to just talk without evidence! Come on! Hurry up and call those female slaves over to me. I want to hear what they have to say in person!"
After hearing the order, a soldier quickly responded, "Yes, sir!" and turned around to take the people. However, at this moment, Fan Linghua seemed to suddenly remember something and shouted loudly, "Wait! Bring the boy who was captured with us to this general as well!"
As soon as the words fell, the soldier immediately took the order and quickly arranged the relevant matters according to Fan Linghua's instructions. Not long after, a sound of footsteps came from far away, and then the five female slaves and Xiao Ning were brought into the hall.
Xiao Ning walked in front with a relaxed and nonchalant look on his face, as if all this had nothing to do with him. But when he stepped into the hall, Zhou Yang, who had been standing beside him, shouted at him with a face full of grievance:
"Brother Xiao! I'm so sorry! But don't worry! I, Zhou Yang, have always been a man who dares to act and take responsibility. I will never let this matter involve you in the slightest!"
After saying this, Zhou Yang's face was solemn and his eyes were firm. He turned to Zhang Wenyuan and Fan Linghua without hesitation, took a deep breath, and continued to shout at the top of his voice:
"My Lords! This matter was all caused by me. It was done by me, Zhou Yang, and has nothing to do with him at all! Just because..."
However, just as he was speaking passionately and eloquently, before he could finish his words, suddenly, an extremely powerful and sharp energy wave surged from the back of the hall, sweeping out like a raging wave. This force was so strong that everyone in the hall instantly felt an indescribable sense of oppression, as if a mountain was crushing an egg.
Then, a roar like thunder exploded, deafening:
"Xiao...Ning! You bastard! You actually bought a female slave secretly behind my back!" The voice contained endless anger, which was chilling.
At the same time, Xiao Ning, who was in the crowd, also keenly sensed this extremely powerful power fluctuation. His face turned pale in an instant, and then quickly turned blue and red. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead, and his lips trembled slightly as he muttered to himself:
"Oh no! It's Master Nangong!"
In a flash, Xiao Ning made a quick decision and exerted his strength to break free from the soldiers who were holding his hands tightly. Then, without thinking, he grabbed Tina's soft little hand and ran out of the hall. His speed was as fast as an arrow from a bow, and he had rushed several feet away in the blink of an eye.
But just when everyone was confused by this sudden change and had not yet recovered from their shock, a figure suddenly appeared beside Xiao Ning like a ghost.
This person was Nangong Luoyu who had come to ask for punishment in anger! Her strange movements and swift speed were really incredible and jaw-dropping. She grabbed his collar and pressed him to the ground with a bang.
"Xiao Ning! You actually still want to run away! You are really itching for trouble!"
Xiao Ning suddenly felt like a thorn in his back, and a suffocating pressure surged from behind him. His heart tightened, his body trembled involuntarily, and he slowly turned around.
I saw a graceful white-haired woman in a brown dress holding her collar tightly, her face was frosty, and her beautiful eyes were flashing with cold light. Xiao Ning's throat was dry, and she stammered:
"Master... Master, hi...long time no see...You...you have become more and more beautiful recently...Let me explain..."
However, before he could finish his flattering words, Nangong Luoyu snorted coldly, grabbed Xiao Ning by the collar, and dragged him away like a chicken. At the same time, he shouted angrily:
