sty hasn't had your meal yet"Feng Lingxi looked at the food on the table, with no appetite.The Empress Dowager raised an eyebrow. "Your Majesty agreed to have a meal with me, how come you are reluctan..."Guards, bind her and send her to the Yu Mansion."

Li Xianling spoke, and the yamen servants rushed forward. However, before they could reach Feng Lingxi, Tao Su knocked one of them flying with a blow. Li Xianling saw Tao Su resisting and shouted angrily, “You dare to defy the law, you insolent commoner! Guards…”

“I want to see who dares to kidnap her.”

Lu Nian walked into the yamen and heard that his sister had brought a thief into the yamen. Unexpectedly, when he arrived, he heard the corrupt official trying to arrest his sister. Listening to the discussions of the onlookers, he learned what kind of person this corrupt official was.

During his tenure, he was a bully to men and women, corrupt and bribe-taking, committing all sorts of evil deeds. The common people suffered greatly, and he even colluded with Yu Youliang, the town bully, to do all manner of harm. He was nothing short of a scourge.

Feng Lingxi saw Lu Nian walk in and hurried over.

"How did you get here"

Lu Nian looked at Feng Lingxi, reaching out to tap her forehead, exasperated.

"Stop wasting time with these corrupt officials, just throw them out."

"Bold commoner..."

Before Magistrate Li could finish his words, he was knocked to the ground by Lu Nian. He was trampled underfoot, his official hat falling far away. Young Master Yu stepped back, staring at the man before him. To dare attack Magistrate Li... Father had said that such people should not be provoked.

“My name is Lu Nian, elder brother of the shrew you speak of. And that so-called shrew is the fourth young lady of the General's Mansion, but she only returned a few days ago to visit her elderly father. But don't worry, I have already informed the General, he will be here shortly. As for how you will be dealt with, he will decide when he arrives.”

Lu Nian retracted her foot, glanced at the fallen Li County Magistrate on the ground, and kicked him away with a swift motion. Li County Magistrate was sent flying far away, howling in pain.

"The fourth young miss of the Zhen Guo General's Mansion"

Yu Youliang looked at Feng Lingxi, his eyes full of fear.

"Are you Feng Ling Xi, the former Princess Consort of the Heavenly King and Chen Wang's ex-wife"

"Mother, I never expected you to be so famous. He actually knows you."

Feng Siqi had a look of amusement on her face, her smile was full of mirth but not to be trifled with.

Yu Yuliang's face turned pale. Looking into Feng Lingxi's eyes, he felt like he had seen a ghost. He couldn't hold back anymore. He never expected that this time he would have angered someone who was absolutely off-limits.

"Who I am doesn't matter, what matters is that you shouldn't be this kind of person."

Feng Lingxi looked at Li County Magistrate over there, "This matter is left to the General of Zhen Guo to handle. We don't interfere in matters within his jurisdiction."

Lu Nian nodded. A hurried sound of footsteps came from outside the county office, and a yamen servant stumbled in, shouting in panic, "My lord, General Zhen Guo and Prince Chen are here."

“What!” County Magistrate Li fainted on the spot in fright. Seeing this, You Youlang turned to run outside, but Tao Su’s sword was aimed at his neck, and You Youlang dared not move. Feng Aotien and Dugu Cheng led a group of people in and saw Feng Lingxi quickly step forward.

"Xi'er, are you alright"

Feng Aotian anxiously grabbed Feng Lingxi and checked her up and down. Seeing that she was fine, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Dugu Cheng let out a cry, his hand froze in mid-air, and he did not step forward.

“Grandpa Feng, this person is so wicked! He stole things, and my mother and I brought him to the county office. But he actually colluded with that corrupt magistrate to turn the tables on us and wants to take my mother away!” Feng Siyu angrily pointed at Yu Youliang.

"Grandpa Wind, this man is still so arrogant saying that this is their territory and not putting you in their eyes at all."

Feng Siqi also followed the lawsuit, ignoring You Yuliang's deathly pale face, "The first time I saw someone so shameless."

Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Aotian's suddenly cold face and said lightly, "This Yu Shao's relative holds a high position in the court. I won't interfere with this matter, leave it to you."

Feng Aotian looked at Yu Youliang, “Throw Yu Youliang into the prison. No one is allowed to visit him without my order.”

"Spare my life, General Zhen Guo, I was wrong, truly wrong. Please spare me, General Zhen Guo."

You Youliang hastily knelt down and kowtowed, begging for mercy while doing so. He was terrified out of his wits.

Feng Aotien let out a cold snort, showing no mercy whatsoever.

“Take him down and have him held until this general gets to the bottom of this. Then, we’ll decide his fate.”

The yamen servants did not dare to neglect, hurriedly took You Youlang down and imprisoned him.

"Wake him up."

Feng Aotian spoke, and the guards stepped forward to call out to Li County Magistrate. This Li County Magistrate was finally roused, and upon seeing Feng Aotian and Dugu City standing before him, he fainted again.

"Splash him with a basin of cold water to wake him up."

When Feng Aotian spoke, Li County Magistrate hurriedly opened his eyes and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.

"This official knows he was wrong. It was this Yu Youliang who pressured me into doing this. I had no choice but to obey. Please, General Zhen Guo, spare my life this time."

"A high-ranking court official being threatened by a commoner, you've certainly done well."

Du Gucheng spoke, and Li County Magistrate trembled even more violently.

“My Lord…”

"Remove the magistrate Li's official hat and throw him into prison. Pass down the order, all those who have been oppressed by Yu Youliang and Magistrate Li, register their complaints. This prince will help them seek justice, provide evidence to the Emperor, and deal with both of them together."

"Many thanks, Lord Chen. Lord Chen, ten thousand years! Ten thousand years! Ten thousand years!"

When the people heard this, they knelt down and cheered. Li County Magistrate fainted to the ground and was stripped of his official hat before being dragged into prison.

"Xier, you really seem to run into trouble everywhere you go." Lu Nian looked helplessly at Feng Lingxi who was silent as ever. "Next time something like this happens, don't stay quiet. Do whatever makes you happy, if you want to beat them up, just do it. I'll back you up."

Feng Lingxi heard Lu Nian's words, and a smile spread across her lips.

"In that case, how am I different from this Yu Youliang"

They are bullies, and you're not. Besides, you did a great service today. You dealt with all the bullies and corrupt officials in this Mingde Town. The people here will live better lives from now on.

Feng Lingxi didn't say a word. She had only accidentally bumped into him.

This matter is probably related to high-ranking officials in the court. Be careful how you handle it yourself.

Feng Lingxi said to Feng Aotiān, she was very grateful that he could come to help her. But what she was even more curious about was that her grandfather had been here for several years, yet still allowed these bullies to run rampant and corrupt officials to oppress the people.

"Xier, this matter is being handled by the Crown Prince. You don't have to worry."

Feng Aotian shifted the topic to Dugu City, stating that dealing with corrupt officials and bullies was Dugu City's idea, and he was merely relaying the message.

"Since everything is taken care of, I'll take my leave now."

"Wait!" Seeing Feng Lingxi was about to leave, Dugu Cheng hurriedly stopped her. Feng Lingxi halted her steps and looked at him, her eyes cold, "What is the King of Chen's command"

Dugu Cheng saw Feng Ling's gaze and was speechless for a moment, unsure of what to say.

"That... this happened because of you, you have to cooperate with the investigation and write down what happened."

Feng Lingxi nodded slightly, "Good."

Dugu Cheng saw Feng Lingxi agree, this was the first time he could speak so calmly with Xi'er. His palms were sweating nervously. Although it was a case, at least Xi'er had spoken to him.poke out of turn. The palace was in chaos, and various factions sent urgent reports. Rebellions broke out one after another, never ceasing.In just a few short months, the Dàyuán Dynasty's empire was o...
