My bad words were heard by all the civil and military officials in the court

It was already afternoon when Zhou Lin and his thousand men found the robbers' lair.

It is said to be the robbers' lair, but more accurately, the place where Princess Chu Ling and others were kidnapped and placed was unusual, not a small wooden house in the mountains.

But the edge of the cliff.

There were six people in the group, two slaves and four masters, who were tied together tightly, with ropes tying them together to restrain each other.

The robbers also blindfolded them and stuffed rags into their mouths.

There were traces of being burned on his body.

Those luxurious robes were covered with mud due to being dragged and pulled.

The exposed skin was also scratched by the wild grass in the mountains, looking particularly miserable.

Hearing the noise in front, Princess Chu Ling, who was still conscious, knew that someone was coming to rescue them.

Try to hum a sound with your mouth.

At the same time, he struggled hard to get through.

"What are you moving!"

The leader of the robbers, whose legs and feet were injured, became impatient and kicked her in the knee.

Princess Chu Ling lost her balance and fell to the ground.

With his face facing the ground, a sharp pebble rubbed against his skin.

A hole appeared in an instant.

The skin and flesh rolled up and blood immediately flowed out from inside.

"Ohh Ohh ohh……"

The pain on her face made King Ling of Chu's wife Cheng Yazhi unable to hold back her tears, which rolled out again.

"Are you crying? Your children are not dead yet!" the robber leader said coldly.

The injured foot stepped on the back of Cheng Yazhi's neck, and the mud from the sole of the shoe fell on her well-maintained skin.

Cheng Yazhi's eyes widened in pain and she struggled even harder.

“Wuwuwu…wuwu.”

How dare you humiliate me like this? I will never let you go!

The intense emotion was conveyed to the robber leader, who sneered and stepped a little harder.

He kept changing his feet and almost stepped on Cheng Yazhi to death.

"enough!"

Zhou Lin shouted angrily, and at the same time, countless bows and arrows behind him were aimed at the robbers on the edge of the cliff.

The robber leader raised his eyes and glanced across.

A thousand soldiers and several high-ranking officers came to rescue people.

but--

The robber leader narrowed his eyes, wondering if it was too late for these people to stop him.

It seemed as if he was deliberately making this woman suffer.

Thinking of this, the leader of the robbers weighed the big knife in his hand.

With a sharp movement of his sword, he cut off the arm of the second son of King Ling of Chu who was still in a coma.

“Ahhhh… it hurts…”

Amid screams of pain, blood splattered on the robber leader's face, which he wiped away.

Then he looked at Zhou Lin, the only one who was really angry among the group of people opposite him, with a smile and gritted his teeth.

Interesting, really interesting.

It seems that he has a better chance of revenge.

"Do you want to know why I kidnapped them?"

Rong Ping did not think that the robber leader was an enemy. After glancing at his adopted daughter who was knocked unconscious by lightning, he was the first to step forward and talk to her:

"why?"

"Of course it's because this woman is too vicious. Not only did she not keep her promise to settle the money seventeen years ago, she also killed my entire family."

His eyes turned fierce.

"It would be fine if my parents were greedy and caused trouble, but they were also kidnapped. What was their fault that they had to die with those robbers?"

"If I hadn't escaped by hiding in the tunnel, I would have turned into a cup of dirt by now."

Having said this, the back of the knife in his hand hit Cheng Yazhi's head as she struggled and tried to stop him from saying anything.

Amid the thumping sounds, the robber leader, Zhang Changlin, curled his lips in evil humor.

She deliberately revealed what he had discovered over the years, the side of her that she least wanted the world to know.

"You are a high-ranking princess who has everything. Why do you insist on your sister, the Marquis' wife, dying?"

"You even want this ugly bastard to replace your sister's child. How much do you hate her?"

Cheng Yazhi shook her head: "Wuwuwu... Wuwuwu..."

You are talking nonsense! Nonsense!

There was no need to guess what the woman was talking about. Zhang Changlin gave a look and one of his men pushed the ugly maid in front of him.

He poked with the tip of his knife, and the cloth strip on the ugly nanny's face fell off.

The moment she saw the light again, Zhang Changlin placed the blood-stained sword in her shoulder.

The cold blade approached the ugly nanny's neck, and he said nothing:

"Tell me, was what I said before correct?"

Ugly Nanny was a coward, otherwise she wouldn't have deliberately fallen into the river and kept herself alive in order to reassure Cheng Yazhi.

He kept nodding his head, and a humming sound came out of his throat to accompany the conversation.

Zhang Changlin stretched out his hand and pulled the rag out of the ugly nanny's mouth.

"Yes, yes, that's right. It was the princess who killed her sister."

The ugly nanny was afraid of death, but she also knew the situation, so she told Cheng Yazhi everything he had done in the past.

Rong Ping then realized that the reason Cheng Yazhi harmed his wife was because her weak and vulnerable sister became the marquis's wife.

She, the pampered daughter of the first wife, became the second wife.

Even though she was a princess, her husband was twenty years younger than her and the palace had already decided on a crown prince. How could she tolerate this?

So this plan came into being.

By the way, his adopted daughter Rong Yao was the daughter born to the Princess of King Ling of Chu before her marriage. She was sent to the Marquis’ Mansion just to enjoy wealth and honor by stepping on her status as a half-sister.

Rong Yao knew her true identity when she was ten years old.

Therefore, she secretly put a lot of obstacles in his way of finding his daughter.

[This old lady spoke so straightforwardly, could she have a grudge against the Princess of King Ling of Chu? ]

[Could it be that the two of them broke up over something? 】

Rong Ping glanced at Ye Xingxin and deliberately provoked the ugly nanny:

"How dare you slander the Princess of King Chuling?"

The ugly nanny looked at the person who spoke, and her pupils suddenly shrank.

Her skinny face trembled up and down. After confirming Rong Ping's identity, she quickly thought of how to save herself.

"My Lord, I am you. I am Shui He, who served the Marquis' wife more than ten years ago. I am also your daughter's wet nurse. My Lord, please believe me. I am not lying."

"She did all these things. If it weren't for the robbers holding us hostage today, I would have known so many of her secrets and would have been killed by the guards of her palace the moment I met her."

She moved forward, tears streaming down her face, "My Lord, please save me. I will definitely tell you the whereabouts of your biological child."

"I promise that she is still alive. If you save me, I will definitely send her to you."

"You old woman, you are talking nonsense!"

Cheng Yazhi screamed loudly, as the cloth covering her eyes and mouth had been loosened at some point.

"Lord Rong, I have never done any of these things. This person is full of lies. Don't be fooled by them."

Ugly Nanny shook her head frantically: "No, you did all these things, including the two children you gave birth to after entering the palace. They are not..."

"you shut up!"

Cheng Yazhi was about to go forward to kill someone, but Zhang Changlin kicked her again and she fell to the ground again.

The wound on her face accidentally rubbed against a grass leaf that was oozing grass juice, and the itchiness began to spread from her cheek.

Zhang Changlin: "You continue."

Ugly Mammy mustered up her courage and said, "The two children born to King Ling of Chu's wife are not King Ling of Chu's biological children."

"Her children also knew that she had someone hunt down Lord Rong's daughter, and they even gave her a lot of advice."

"And Rong Yao, their families have been in collusion for a long time."

Ugly Mammy looked at Cheng Yazhi with a resentful expression and said, "Princess, you didn't expect this, right? I heard about this when I went to the Buddhist temple to look for you."

"I also know that you plan to kill the Crown Prince of Chu Ling and let your son take the throne."

After revealing Cheng Yazhi's secret, Ugly Mammy felt extremely happy.

It's a pity. If she had been willing to give the money when she was threatened, she wouldn't have ended up like this.

She would not be caught here and suffer together.

"General Zhou, Lord Rong, are you just going to watch me, the princess, being framed and humiliated by a slave?"

After so many scandals were exposed, Cheng Yazhi suddenly calmed down.

Rong Ping said in a cold voice: "Princess, this is about my wife, I must find out."

"As her sister, I think you will endure it for a while in order to let her rest in peace."

The increasingly itchy feeling on her face made Cheng Yazhi unable to resist.

The emotions that had finally calmed down were about to collapse again because of Rong Ping's words.

But she still tried to hold on to her last rational defense.

"This slave is just asking for money but failed, so she is just taking revenge on me."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Rong Ping sneered: "Whoever lies will be struck by lightning, okay?"

After saying that, he looked at Ye Xingxin, "What do you think of this idea, Lord Ye?"

Ye Shengxin would naturally respond to the soldier's requests.

Nodding: "Very good."

As soon as he finished speaking, lightning struck down and hit Cheng Yazhi directly.

Zhang Changlin, who was standing next to him, dodged quickly and escaped unharmed.

The people around her were miserable.

They were electrocuted and foaming at the mouth, and lightning and fire were burning on their bodies.

Amid the shrill screams, Zhou Lin looked at the motionless woman on the ground with his pupils contracted.

"Oh no, the Queen of King Chu Ling is dead!"
