The Princess of Northern Land

"What the princess said makes sense, do you think it makes sense, my lord?" Mei Hanqing looked at Chu Suifeng.

"What the princess means is what I mean, plus one more thing. If you hit a woman in the family innocently, you will be severely punished." Chu Suifeng added another one fiercely.

"The prince and the princess are thousands of years old." All the women on the street, whether they were married or not, all knelt down in front of Chu Suifeng and Lin Ziyin. No one had ever defended them like this, and no one had ever given them so much encouragement. All the women accepted Lin Ziyin as the princess from the bottom of their hearts.

"Say, who asked you to spread rumors?" The initiative was in Chu Suifeng's hands. The man who had his finger broken off saw that he killed an official without changing his expression. He was scared out of his wits. When he was first arrested, In fact, he couldn't hold it any longer. But because he was taking a chance, he gritted his teeth and refused to explain. Then Prince Ling didn't give him a chance and cut off his fingers.

Mother, I sold five of my fingers for a dozen copper coins. If I had known, I wouldn't have dared to talk nonsense even if I killed him.

"My lord, spare your life," the villain said, "Let's just say it." Fear made him forget the pain, and the people on the ground did everything. "It was a man. He gave me twenty copper coins and asked me to tell you. From now on, villain Never again."

Someone confessed that after seeing the body on the ground and the man's severed fingers, the next person came out and confessed, "Your Majesty, I remember, that man spoke with a capital accent."

"That's right, I wouldn't be able to remember it if you didn't tell me."

…

When one person thinks of a clue, others immediately follow.

After the people around heard the whole story, their faces turned red with anger, and they shouted that those who spread the rumors should be put in jail.

"With ten years of hard labor, the family will not be implicated. If the crime is committed again, the nine clans will be implicated." Chu Suifeng said coldly. "Bring the rest of us here."

The people who came out were better dressed, and everyone looked at them with disdain.

"It's unjust, Your Majesty, I'm unjust." Ma Zhicai is among this group of people. He has done more bad things and his psychological quality has improved. When he saw Chu Suifeng, he immediately knelt down and complained, "I didn't tell any rumors. I just worked honestly in the inn and didn't know anything."

"Your Majesty, I heard him talk about it first, and then he started talking nonsense." Someone pointed out on the spot that Ma Zhicai was also the originator of the rumor.

"Are you saying that I have wronged you?" Chu Suifeng went up and kicked Ma Zhicai away.

"The villain doesn't dare." Ma Zhicai secretly resented it, but he insisted that he didn't know anything.

"Just because my sister and I broke off our engagement, you hate me so much that you actually colluded with people from the North to harm my princess." Lin Ziyin stood tall and looked at him condescendingly.

Ma Zhicai's expression changed slightly, but in a blink of an eye he raised his head and looked at Lin Ziyin with an aggrieved look on his face, "Princess, you are wronged. When we broke off the engagement, it was the villain who did so first. How could I dare to resent the princess? I am just a scholar. If you make a living in an inn, how can you come into contact with people from the North?"

Ma Zhicai was very smart and told everyone in a roundabout way that Lin Ziyin was using his status to take revenge and plot against him. He was a small person and could only suffer the disadvantage of being dumb.

What the people resented the most were spies. Regardless of whether what Ma Zhicai said was true or false, the onlookers looked at him with something wrong.

But Chu Suifeng was even more ruthless, never letting the civil servants and scholars kneeling on the ground get up.

Don’t these people like to kneel? Then let them keep kneeling.
