On the way to Maiji Mountain, Chu Qingzhi suddenly heard the sound of a spiritual whistle being blown. She immediately told Tang Jinghong, “There’s news from Tong Yujie.”

When Tang Jinghong heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief. “Qingzhi, 1 have something to ask of you.”

Chu Qingzhi blinked. “What is it?”

Tang Jinghong looked down at Chu Qingzhi, his eyes filled with reluctance. “There aren’t enough people here. Can you help me transport the grains to Maiji Mountain? 1’11 go to Tong Yujie’s place to take a look.”

“Of course.” Chu Qingzhi agreed without hesitation. “1 promise to complete the mission!”

Tang Jinghong went forward and hugged Chu Qingzhi. His heart ached and he felt apologetic. “Qingzhi, it’s been hard on you.”

Chu Qingzhi patted Tang Jinghong’s back gently and said with a smile, “Go quickly. It’s just a small matter.”

Tang Jinghong let go of Chu Qingzhi. “Then I’m leaving.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Go.”

Tang Jinghong gave some things to Chu Qingzhi, then rode his fast horse in Tong Yujie’s direction.

Chu Qingzhi watched him leave before continuing on her way.

After Tang Jinghong left, some people started to become restless. They kept muttering something behind her.

When Chu Qingzhi turned around and looked at them, they immediately stopped muttering. However, Chu Qingzhi didn’t mind. As long as they transported the grains obediently, she could not be bothered to know what they were talking about.

After a while, Cheng San ran over. “Hero, we’re tired. Can we rest for a while?”

They had just rested, and now they wanted to rest again. Did they think she was easy to bully? Chu Qingzhi turned to look at Cheng San and said slowly, “1 can let you rest forever. Do you want it?”

Cheng San was stunned. Just as he was about to agree, he realized that something was wrong. “What do you mean?”

Chu Qingzhi’s eyes darkened as she slapped Cheng San.

Cheng San was immediately sent flying. He crashed into a thick tree behind him before stopping and falling to the ground. The leaves fell like rain, as if expressing sympathy.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

How strong was this person’s martial arts to be able to send someone flying with a single palm strike?

Cheng San fell to the ground. After a while, he coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood.

After that, everyone became obedient.

Chu Qingzhi ordered, “Continue walking!”

“Yes,” everyone said in unison.

Two soldiers ran over to help Cheng San up and walked slowly behind the team. They looked at Chu Qingzhi with fear.

They finally realized that the person who could cause chaos in the northern border was not to be underestimated.

In the northern border city.

“I heard that the First Prince will be tried today and many people are going to see the trial.”

“The First Prince? Are you kidding?”

“I’m not kidding. I’m going over to see as well. Do you want to join me?”

“Of course. The First Prince has done all kinds of evil. It’s too satisfying to see him brought to justice.”

“Don’t get your hopes up. After all, he’s the heir. With the Lord of the Northern Border’s protection, he might get away with it again. Perhaps the governor is just going through the motions.”

“That can’t be!”

“Let’s wait and see.”

The citizens of the northern border city discussed as they gathered at the government office.

Li Yuanshao deliberately spread the news that Li Yuan’an would be tried. He wanted to use this opportunity to give people hope.

At this moment, the outside of the government office was surrounded by commoners.

In the court, there were people kneeling on the ground. Among them, Li Yuan’an was the most special one. He was shameless and refused to speak. As long as he didn’t admit it, they couldn’t do anything to him.

The governor slapped the table and shouted, “Li Yuan’an, do you plead guilty?”

Li Yuan’an looked at the middle-aged couple who were kneeling on the side and crying. He refused to admit it. “What crime have 1 committed? They’re all false accusations!”

The governor looked at Li Yuan’an. “Bring me the evidence.”

The constables immediately carried a few women’s corpses over. A constable walked in with a tray with women’s accessories.

The governor said to the couple, “Look, is this your daughter’s?”

The couple immediately looked over. When they saw the accessories, they lowered their heads and cried. “It belongs to our daughter. Sir, please seek justice for our daughter!”

“I will handle this case impartially.” The governor looked at Li Yuan’an. “Li Yuan’an, these things were found in your room. Do you have anything to say?”

Li Yuan’an was caught off guard and couldn’t think of an excuse, but it didn’t stop him from being shameless. “Even if it was found in my room, so what?”

The governor said, “Li Yuan’an, these are the accessories of the dead girls. They’re in your room now?”

Li Yuan’an retorted. “Could it be that they were left in my room by someone else to frame me?”

The governor shouted, “Bring the people in!”

The constable cupped his hands and brought the servants in.

A few servants immediately knelt down. “Greetings, my lord!”

When Li Yuan’an saw them, his expression changed slightly. “Why are you here?”

The servants immediately bowed to Li Yuan’an in fear. “Prince, you can’t hide what you did anymore. We have nightmares every day because we helped you. Can you just admit it?”

Li Yuan’an roared, “What are you talking about? What did 1 do?”

A servant said, “Those girls were captured by you and violated. They couldn’t stand the humiliation. Some committed suicide, and some were accidentally killed by you in their struggles. Just admit it!”

Li Yuan’an sat down dejectedly. These servants were all close to him. They knew very well what he had done. Was he really going to be beheaded in public today?

No, he wouldn’t accept this.

“My father is the Lord of the Northern Border. What’s wrong with me killing a few people? How dare you kill me? When my father comes back, he’ll definitely kill your entire family.”

If he had said this before Li Yuanshao came to him, it would have been a little intimidating. But now, the governor was not afraid at all. “The prince has admitted to the crimes he committed. That son of heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Someone, drag him out and behead him at noon!” Li Yuan’an panicked. “How dare you!”

The governor gave the order. “Take him away!”

Li Yuan’an widened his eyes in disbelief. “No, that’s impossible!”

The northern border belonged to his father. As long as his father was around, his father would clean up the mess for him no matter what he did. No one dared to say no to him or disrespect him. How dare the governor threaten to kill him?

“My father won’t let you off!”

The constables went forward to hold Li Yuan’an down. This person’s death would do justice to the dead, some of whom were the constables’ fellow villagers. Therefore, they were especially proactive..
