"I swear to God, my father and brother are absolutely good officials who are dedicated to serving the people."

Qin Wanying raised her arm without a palm and swore, which moved Qiao Linxi a little. Maybe her father was really a good official.

But if he is a good official who loves the people, why did he raise such a narrow-minded daughter?

Next to him, Gu Changfeng was slowly twisting the Buddhist beads in his hand and looking at Qiao Linxi. He was also waiting for Qiao Linxi to plead for Qin Wanying.

Qiao Linxi thought about it and still felt that she should say a few words. As for whether Gu Changfeng would let the Qin family go or not, that was not something she could interfere with.

"Gu Changfeng, look..." Qiao Linxi felt it was a bit difficult to speak. She originally wanted to draw a line between herself and Gu Changfeng. But now she was begging him for someone who hurt her. If he really let the Qin family go, wouldn't she owe Gu Changfeng a big favor?

"You said."

As soon as Qiao Linxi opened her mouth, Gu Changfeng smiled, and he waited for Qiao Linxi's next words with a smile on his face.

"As the saying goes, the crime should not be committed by the family. Qin Wanying did something wrong, but I guess she did it without telling her family. Ignorance is innocent, and her father is a good official. Can you please not blame them?"

"Good official?" Gu Changfeng smiled and said, "But didn't you say that? We are bad people. Bad people just kill good people. What should we do?"

What is this? This is called shooting oneself in the foot. Gu Changfeng is using his own words to shut himself up.

Qiao Linxi reached out and patted her mouth, but she forgot that her hands had been tortured, and the pain when she was hit on her mouth made her gasp.

"I'm a bad mouth, but you're not a bad person. You're the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva. Please be kind and let the rest of the Qin family go, okay?"

With tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, Qiao Linxi's tone was very gentle when she said this, which made Gu Changfeng stunned and he couldn't bear to reject her.

"You are the victim yourself, how can you be so broad-minded as to plead for others? Stop being a saint."

Gu Changfeng felt distressed when he saw that Qiao Linxi's ten fingers were all broken and bleeding. If only he had appeared earlier.

"Brother Changfeng..."

Qin Wanying saw that Qiao Linxi had already begged for mercy, but Gu Changfeng still did not agree to let the Qin family go, so she crawled in front of him in embarrassment: "Brother Changfeng, I beg you, please let my family go, you can punish me however you want."

Qin Wanying no longer had the arrogant look she had before. She looked like a beggar who had fallen into the mud, looking extremely miserable.

Qiao Linxi also moved a few steps towards Gu Changfeng, then pinched Gu Changfeng's sleeve with her thumb and index finger and gently pulled it.

This cautious but flattering look instantly made Gu Changfeng happy. He bent down and picked up Qiao Linxi with one hand, then looked at Qin Wanying who was kneeling in front of him and said, "Since she pleaded for you, our family will keep this account for the time being. When our family is unhappy, we will look for your Qin family to settle it."

After hearing these words, Qin Wanying heaved a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground. All the strength in her body was drained away, and she felt like she had been to the hell.

This was the first time she felt that Gu Changfeng was the devil that Jingjing mentioned. She had heard rumors about Gu Changfeng before in Beijing.

He was deeply loved by the emperor. Whenever he saw someone he disliked in the capital, he would always find a reason to kill or exile him.

Among them were many loyal ministers. If he said someone was guilty, then that was it. Countless loyal ministers died at his hands.

Qin Wanying was really scared. She could already feel the murderous intent in Gu Changfeng's eyes, which meant that he really wanted to use this incident to execute the entire Qin family.

Qiao Linxi was held by Gu Changfeng with one hand. In order to ensure that she would not fall, she could not help but put her arms around Gu Changfeng's neck.

Gu Changfeng's behavior would have been considered a boyfriend's overwhelming power in Qiao Linxi's era, but she didn't feel safe. Maybe she was not born to be a princess.

"Why, are you afraid that we won't be able to hold you and will drop you?"

Qiao Linxi nodded. Considering that Gu Changfeng let the Qin family go, she would reluctantly be a bit obedient.

"Don't worry, with your small body, like a cat, we can hug ten of you."

After leaving the execution hall, Qiao Linxi spotted the shadow of Gu Changfeng's secret guard leaning against the wall.

Didn't he go to frame Qin Wanying's father? How...

"Oh, you found out." Gu Changfeng pretended to be surprised and said, "The only person we want to kill is Qin Guozong. As for others, we are not interested. What's the fun in killing the old, weak, women and children? It would be fun to kill all the pillars of the Qin family, let the Qin family's sky collapse, and let them live in darkness for the rest of their lives."

Qiao Linxi: ...

"Since you plead for Qin Wanying, I will keep the Qin family's lives on your head. If you make our family unhappy one day, we will take the Qin family's lives back, so you have to be good."

Qiao Linxi, who had prepared herself in her heart to be more obedient and cooperate with Gu Changfeng, immediately turned cold when she heard this, and struggled to get off Gu Changfeng's arms.

"I'm sorry, I don't have the ability to bear the lives of hundreds of people in the Qin family. You don't have to blame me. Keep them for yourself. It's up to you whether to kill them or keep them alive."

Qiao Linxi endured the pain in her ankle and walked out. Gu Changfeng was really annoying. Did the Qin family have anything to do with her? No. But why did she flatter Gu Changfeng for a stranger?

Gu Changfeng shook his arms. He knew the temperament of this little thing and it didn't like being threatened.

Well, she doesn't like people commenting on her, and doesn't like being threatened. That's good, very good.

Qiao Linxi ran around in the government office, but couldn't find the exit. Gu Changfeng followed her and saw that she was lost when he saw her turning in circles. He shook his head and went forward to pick her up.

"Look, without our family, you can't even leave this government office."

"Put me down!" Qiao Linxi flapped her wings like a fish. How could this pervert be so annoying?

Qiao Linxi's struggling did not affect Gu Changfeng at all. He carried Qiao Linxi in his princess arms and quickly walked out of the government office.

In order to get away, Qiao Linxi opened her mouth and bit Gu Changfeng's neck with all her strength.

She just didn’t believe that Gu Changfeng wouldn’t feel pain!

However, Qiao Linxi miscalculated. She could already feel her mouth full of blood flowing from Gu Changfeng's neck, but Gu Changfeng did not even frown. Instead, he smiled and looked at Qiao Linxi who was biting his neck.

"It's really a cat. It bites people when it's unhappy."

Qiao Linxi was a little depressed and took her mouth back. The bloody taste in her mouth made her feel sick, and she spit on Gu Changfeng's face without hesitation.

The secret guard following behind saw the blood and saliva on Gu Changfeng's face, and his heart skipped a beat. He thought that the life of this little girl might be over.
