As he spoke, Zhou Ting suddenly waved his hand, and the servants behind him understood and began to push away the maids who were blocking their way, trying to force their way into the venue.
One of them was so quick-witted that he knocked over the table, causing the teacups and fruit plates to shatter all over the floor, causing the women to scream in surprise.
"court death!"
Seeing this, Qin Jiuge suddenly pulled out a soft whip and hit Zhou Ting on the back of his hand with a "snap".
There was a sudden crisp sound in the air——
Zhou Ting screamed in pain and immediately retracted his hand.
Just as he was about to hit Qin Jiuge back with his folding fan, suddenly, a sharp sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded -
“Whoosh!”
A black gold arrow brushed past Zhou Ting's fingertips and pierced deeply into the ground in front of him, the tail of the arrow still trembling.
Zhou Ting was so scared that he staggered back and fell to the ground.
"This general wants to see who gave you the courage to act wildly in Wangyue Lake!"
The deep and cold voice was like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Pei Yuan in a dark suit, standing in the corridor with the longbow in his hand.
His brows were as sharp as knives and his whole body was filled with murderous aura, which frightened the troublemakers so much that they all turned pale and trembled.
"General Pei, General Pei..." Zhou Ting took a few steps back. "We are just here for a banquet. How can we act wildly?"
Pei Yuan handed the longbow to the guard behind him and walked forward slowly. He didn't even look at Zhou Ting and the others, but walked straight to Qin Jiuge and stood still:
"Today's Wangyue Lake Qinhui was held by the princess to select talented people. These people came uninvited and tried to disrupt the order of the banquet. Miss Qin, since the princess has entrusted you to host the banquet, you have the final say on how to deal with these people."
Qin Jiuge raised the corners of his lips slightly, slowly put away the whip in his hand, with a cold look in his eyes.
She looked down at Zhou Ting and the others, "You have trespassed into the music meeting and disrupted the order. According to the rules set by the princess, each of you will be whipped twenty times in public and expelled from Wangyue Lake, and will never be allowed to enter again."
Zhou Ting's face turned pale, and he shouted hurriedly: "Qin Jiuge! How dare you! My father is..."
“Pah…”
Pei Yuan whipped him with his scabbard, "Say one more word, and I'll whip him twenty more times!"
A guard immediately stepped forward, dragged Zhou Ting and others to the center of the courtyard, and pressed them to the ground.
The sound of the whip breaking through the air and the screams of several people echoed throughout the Moon Watching Lake, and all the guests present were silent.
A quarter of an hour later, the execution was completed, and Zhou Ting and others were thrown outside like dead dogs.
At this time, Qin Jiuge stood on the steps, looked around at everyone and said: "I hope you will take today's incident as a warning. The princess's banquet does not allow for any impudence.
Well, now that the eyesores have been dealt with, the banquet will continue. The princess will be here soon, and I hope everyone will enjoy themselves."
Not far away, Xie Rou, who was standing on the corridor, witnessed the scene at the door and fell into deep thought.
If she was not mistaken, the booklet that Qin Jiuge had just taken out of her hand was the one she had seen in her eldest brother's study last night.
At that time, she thought her brother was investigating a case and didn't think much about it.
Now it seems that this is not the case.
Brother, are you investigating the information of these young masters from aristocratic families overnight just to screen out those with bad character?
But hasn’t the Xie family always supported the prince cousin?
What exactly is my brother trying to achieve by doing this?
