My Lord, your wife is spreading rumors about you again.

Chapter 45 Seeking Justice for Oneself
Zhang Zhi, who was sitting at the men's table, also saw the scene. He handed a token to Wu Wei, who took it, put down Dahei, and quietly left the stage.

On the other side, the competition between Mingli and Zangying was still in full swing. Mingli was obviously not a person who liked to suffer a loss. If he had a grudge, he would rather kill the whole family on the spot.

Mingli deliberately slowed down her speed to make Zang Ying think that she was exhausted. Sure enough, Zang Ying got the chance and shot the arrow.

Her archery skills were not fake, they were indeed quite good. She pulled the bow to the full moon, exerted great force, and shot an arrow straight to the target. However, how could Mingli let her succeed?
Suddenly, a feathered arrow shot out from behind and broke Zang Ying's arrow in half.

Seeing this, Zang Ying's face turned red with anger and she turned around abruptly: "Mingli you!"

The judge on the other side immediately shouted, "Second Miss Ming has violated the rules! You cannot intentionally interfere with others' archery!"

"Which of your dog eyes saw me deliberately shoot her with an arrow?"

Mingli was furious. She retorted loudly: "Is it because I am not skilled enough that my arrow went astray? The judge could see such details at a glance, but how come Zang Ying didn't even dare to fart when he bumped into my horse?! Just now, I thought you were a blind bear!"

The judge choked: “.”

Zhang Zhi and Ji Yu laughed loudly, and the others followed suit. The Marquis of Zhenbei and the Duke of Ji were both laughing, so who dared not laugh?
Zang Ying was stimulated by the laughter, she threw away her bow and arrow, and rode her horse madly to hit Kuang Biao. Ming Li was so shaken that she couldn't even hold the arrow steadily, she gritted her teeth in hatred, she couldn't do this, Kuang Biao would be injured.

She held the reins tightly with one hand and decided to take a gamble.

Seeing her expression, Zhang Zhi could guess what dangerous thing Mingli was going to do next even from a short distance away.

He clenched his fists, hesitating whether to stop the competition directly.

But if he made the decision directly, would Mingli be unhappy?
Mingli supported the horse with one hand, and her whole body was suspended in the air. She kicked the whip in Zang Ying's hand away, then used the force to spin in the air and kicked Zang Ying in the waist again.

This kick was to avenge Kuang Biao.

Let him know how painful it feels to be kicked or bumped into.

Mingli used great force, and Zang Ying felt great pain. Without the whip to beat the horse, Zang Ying on its back lost the ability to control it, and the horse suddenly felt revengeful. It jumped up and down desperately trying to throw her off.

"not good!"

Madam Zang was now anxious. She grabbed Zang Bei and said, "Master! Mingli, she is going to kill our daughter!"

Zang Bei's face darkened, and he immediately ordered: "Come here! Kill this wild horse for me!"

"Yes!"

A group of Zang family servants drew their swords and surrounded the man. The ladies all shook their heads and sighed. On such a great day, blood was going to be shed again.

The horse's leg had been cut, and the frightened Zang Ying was helped down. Although the horse was injured, it still struggled hard. The servants did not dare to move, and thought of stabbing it again and again, draining its blood to death.

Mingli felt sorry for the scene, so she controlled Kuang Biao to knock down a fence. The horse was also smart, as if it knew that Mingli and Kuang Biao were trying to open a way for it to survive.

It kicked away all the servants of the Zang family and rushed towards the gate of life. From then on, it could roam freely between heaven and earth and run freely. It no longer had to be a mount or be abused by others.

Seeing this, Zang Bei felt as if he had been slapped in the face by a little girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, and his old face immediately turned red with shame.

He stood up, pointed at Ming Li who was leading the horse back, and said sarcastically: "The daughter of the Ming family is really bold. She agreed to a horseback archery competition, but she came up with all these insidious ways to hurt people! It's just a friendly competition among the younger generations, but she actually wants to take people's lives! Is this always the family tradition of your Ming family!"

"Master Zang, please forgive me." Madam Meng said as usual, without showing any emotion: "My second daughter just returned home recently. After all, she has been married for three years. I am afraid she has forgotten the rules she learned in the Ming family."

What this meant was that Ming Li's current arrogant temper had nothing to do with the Ming family. Zhang Zhi sneered, "If Madam Meng were to become a cook, she would definitely be an expert at selecting vegetables."

"You are joking, my prince."

Mrs. Meng could only pretend not to understand this sarcasm.

Zhang Zhi stood up and walked to the table, shouting, "Where is the judge? Are you deaf or blind? What are you waiting for? Why don't you announce the winner?"

Zhang Zhi was obviously on Mingli's side, but the Zang family was not easy to mess with. The judge was caught between the forces of Zang Bei and Zhang Zhi, and dared not say a word.

The judge finally made the final decision in his heart. He bravely said loudly: "Although Miss Ming shot an arrow, she should be disqualified from the competition because of her tragic and evil deeds. Therefore, this round goes to the Zang family."

"Snapped--"

Before the judge could finish his words, Zhang Zhi slapped him to the ground and he was unable to get up for a long time.

"Prince Zhang! You've gone too far!"

Zang Bei ran down angrily, pointed at Zhang Zhi's nose and cursed: "Since ancient times, there has never been a reason for a competition to punish the judge. You, you should not rely on your status as..."

"Lord Zang."

Zhang Zhi laughed coldly. He held Zang Bei's finger that was pointing at him and twisted it upwards. He smiled as he twisted it and said, "There are two things I hate most in my life. One is when someone points their finger at me. The other is when someone bullies Mingli. It just so happens that you broke two of my taboos at once."

"Tell me, do you want me to keep your finger?"

Zhang Zhi's expression was bloodthirsty and cold. Hundreds of people in the audience fell silent for a moment. Even Madam Zang and Zang Ying were stunned.

Zang Bei grimaced in pain, but he still refused to give in: "Do you think that your Zhang family can cover the sky with one hand in the capital?! I will report you! I will submit a memorial to His Majesty to report you!"

"Oh? Report me?" Zhang Zhi's eyes turned cold. "Well, I might as well cut off one of your arms, so that you will have another reason to report me!"

Seeing this, Mingli immediately held his hand and said, "No."

If Zhang Zhi was reported to the court for this matter and thrown into prison, all future plans would have to be revoked and started over again.

Zhang Zhi frowned slightly: "He bullied you."

"I can do it myself."

Mingli walked up to the judge, grabbed his collar with one hand and lifted him up. She had an indifferent expression and everyone's eyes were focused on her.

The judge looked at Mingli and his heart trembled slightly.

Mingli said, "As a judge, you should be fair and just. If you are partial to others and pervert the law, you are not worthy of being a judge. In the competition just now, who violated the rules first? Tell me clearly, otherwise, I will kill you today."

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a loud and high-pitched report caught everyone's attention.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived——"
