After this person appeared, another person who looked like an official quickly appeared.
As that person held his official hat, he hurriedly apologized, “General, General Zhang, these unruly people are not worth your anger! I’ll get the bailiffs to escort them to the prison now!”
General Zhang snorted coldly. “My son was humiliated by them wantonly and you want to send to prison only? If the Emperor finds out, I’m afraid Lord Liu, you, won’t be able to keep your satin hat!”
Lord Liu complained in his heart.
Originally, they were going to the Yongding County office, but General Zhang did not take the usual path. At the fork in the road, he insisted on coming to Nanhe Town first.
Lord Liu was an official of Wangbei County and had been arranged by the county governor to accompany General Zhang.
They said that they were looking for news about Princess Yong Chang.
…..
Princess Yong Chang was conferred the title of Princess Yong Chang by the previous Emperor. She was the daughter of Duke An. At the age of one, she was conferred the title of Princess Yong Chang.
She was also the only princess who could be given a title. It was said that from a young age, she had been doted on by the late Emperor as a sister and was treated better than a princess.
Back then, no one could resist Princess Yong Chang’s limelight.
Not only that, Princess Yong Chang was not arrogant because of her favor. Instead, she was good at playing zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and her appearance was even better.
She was also known as a model lady who had never been seen before in the Great Chang Nation. Even now, she was still an existence that people talked about.
36 years ago, Princess Yong Chang went to Duke Yong Manor to attend a banquet. After that, her whereabouts were unknown.
It was also because of this that the relationship between Duke Yong Manor and Duke An Manor became bad.
More than 30 years had passed, but they had never given up on looking for Princess Yong Chang.
Previously, when they received news that Princess Yong Chang’s token had appeared in Nanhe Town, Emperor Minghua immediately sent someone over to investigate.
He was even sent by a seventh-grade general who was on good terms with Duke An Manor.
Lord Liu wiped his sweat and said, “General, you can leave this matter to me. I’ll definitely give you a satisfactory answer! We’ve already arranged for the top-grade rooms of the Nanhe Inn and prepared a banquet at the Nanhe Restaurant. Please—”
“Father, we can’t let them off. These unruly people actually dared to hurt me!” Young Master Zhang stood up and hurriedly ran towards General Zhang.
General Zhang saw that the young man’s open palm was red and there were no signs of injuries.
However, he was still unable to restrain his anger. “Arrest these unruly people and torture them to see if they’re spies from the enemy country!”
With that, the soldiers behind him wanted to capture them.
The people of Nanhe Town were unhappy.
Some bold people shouted in trembling voices, “Where did you come from? How dare you arrest someone without distinguishing right or wrong?”
“It’s clearly your son’s fault!”
Actually, the commoners were already trembling in fear, but they knew that if they did not say it now, they would not have a chance in the future.
They treated them as spies, and wanted to torture them.
How could an ordinary person withstand it?
They would probably be dead with a whip.
Since they were going to die, they had to react.
General Zhang sneered. “It’s not up to you to say no!”
“General, wait.” Chi Ding, who was originally resting in the Qin Family, appeared on the street.
General Zhang looked at him in disdain. “Where did you come from? How dare you speak to me like this? Kneel!”
Chi Ding smiled and took out a token from his pocket. With a movement technique, he held it up for General Zhang to see. “General, are you sure you want me to kneel?”
First-grade Crimson Guards!
In the military hierarchy, that position was equal to that of a fifth-grade official.
It was a lot higher than a lowly seventh-grade general like him!
“Bastard! How dare you distort the truth!” General Zhang shouted angrily.
A huge smile bloomed on Young Master Zhang’s face as he continued, “That’s right, you bunch of reckless—”
Before he could finish speaking, Young Master Zhang was kicked away and fell to the ground, vomiting a large mouthful of blood.
“That bastard I’m talking about is you!”
The surrounding commoners could not help but hold their chests.
Oh my, how painful this looked!
