Chapter 37 Kill for life

A dark light flashed in Lu Qingyu's dark eyes. She looked at He Juncheng who fell straight to the ground, her slightly trembling hands clenched tightly at her sides.

She was trying hard to resist the urge to stab He Juncheng to death.

After taking a few deep breaths, Lu Qingyu suppressed the hatred and shouted into the mansion, "Someone, King Jing has fainted."

Five or six maids and servants rushed out of the mansion. Seeing the unconscious He Juncheng, they all surrounded him in panic and carried He Juncheng back to the yard.

At this moment, Tianyue rode his horse down the street, raising a cloud of dust.

"Miss, it's bad! The Ming family has sent people to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to demand an explanation." Tianyue panted and wiped the sweat from his face.

Lu Qingyu's eyes were slightly cold, as expected, she came.

The second young master Ming was murdered in broad daylight yesterday, and the murderer was wearing the clothes of a guard from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Although it is absurd, the Ming family will definitely come to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion first.

Now my parents, elder brother and elder sister are all at the front line and have not returned yet. There is only one adopted son of my father in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. They will definitely not be able to stop the Ming family, so I must go back now.

"Tianyue, you continue to supervise them in moving the dowry. Except for King Jing, anyone else who dares to stop them and cause trouble will be killed without mercy."

After saying this, Lu Qingyu mounted his flaming dragon horse and galloped towards the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion at lightning speed.

The bright red horse galloped under the scorching sun, raising clouds of dust.

The flying dust danced in the translucent light and shadow, highlighting the cool girl in black clothes on horseback. She was so beautiful that the people around her were dazed.

"That fairy just now must be Princess Jing!"

"Yeah. No, I'm afraid it won't be that soon."

"Why?"

"Didn't you see the notice posted on the city gate? Prince Jing and the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo are not compatible. His Majesty has issued an order to allow them to divorce tomorrow."

When Lu Qingyu arrived on horseback, dozens of people had gathered in front of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. They were very excited and were confronting the guards of the Mansion.

"So many eyes saw it yesterday at Mingxi Residence. It was your people who killed my brother. What else can you say?"

Ming Zichuan asked loudly, waving his arms, "Everyone, let's judge, should the murderer be punished with death? The prince broke the law and was punished the same as the common people. Why didn't the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion hand over the murderer?"

"Yes, it was indeed someone from the Zhenguo Mansion who killed the Second Young Master Ming yesterday. Even if he is the Zhenguo Duke, he cannot bully others by taking advantage of his power."

"Yes, that's the truth. Why can officials kill people without paying for their crimes?"

"That's right! The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion must hand over the murderer!"

The onlookers were in an uproar again.

People fear officials, but to some extent, this fear can also turn into dissatisfaction and resentment.

Ming Zichuan cleverly took advantage of this and completely aroused the anger of the people in order to threaten the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

After all, what people say can be scary.

Mo Chen stood with his hands hanging down, his cold chestnut eyes showing no emotion.

"Mr. Ming, this matter has nothing to do with our Zhenguo Mansion. But when my adoptive father comes back, I will still report this matter to him in person and give you an explanation."

Mo Chen stood in front of Ming Zichuan, refusing to move a step. Ming Zichuan sneered and pushed Mo Chen, causing him to stagger.

"Mo Chen, I call you Master Mo only because I give you face. If I don't give you face, wouldn't you be just a stray dog ​​whose parents have died? You are just a dog of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. What qualifications do you have to speak nonsense in front of me?"

Just as Ming Zichuan raised his hand to slap Mo Chen, a stone tore through the air at an extremely fast speed, leaving a bright red wound on Ming Zichuan's right hand.

Ming Zichuan's face suddenly became distorted due to pain. He covered his bleeding right hand and roared, "Who plotted against me? Get out!"

Lu Qingyu jumped off the horse slowly and said indifferently, "Mr. Ming, you are so powerful. I didn't know that the power of the Minister of War is so great that he can surround the Zhenguo Mansion."

Ming Zichuan's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to his arrogant attitude.

"Oh, who am I thinking? Isn't this the abandoned woman who will be divorced by King Jing soon?"

Ming Zichuan has a big round face and a bloated body, which makes him look even more wretched when he smiles.

Lu Qingyu pushed through the crowd, came in front of Ming Zichuan, and stared at him expressionlessly.

It was not until Ming Zichuan was a little scared by being looked at that Lu Qingyu spoke lightly, "Ming Zichuan, as a subject, why don't you kneel when you see this princess?"

Ming Zichuan was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter, and the fat on his face and belly trembled with laughter.

"You want me to kneel before you? You are nothing but a forsaken person."

The voice stopped abruptly, and Lu Qingyu kicked Ming Zichuan to his knees.

The fat on Ming Zichuan's body shook three times before he stabilized himself.

"Mr. Lu, you dare to kick me?!" Ming Zichuan's face was full of disbelief.

Lu Qingyu actually kicked me in front of so many people? Is this woman crazy?
Lu Qingyu was wearing a black silk dress with a crimson brocade belt tied around her waist. Coupled with her tall figure, her aura seemed sharp and aloof.

It is like the Queen Mother of the West, and also like she is proud of the snow and frost.

Lu Qingyu looked down at the embarrassed Ming Zichuan, with a cold arc at the corner of his lips.

"Mr. Ming may not have understood the situation. As long as I am the Princess of Jing, I am the wife of the royal family. As a subject, you should kneel down and pay respect to me. Moreover, His Majesty has granted me a decree of divorce, not divorce. Mr. Ming, please do not tamper with the imperial decree."

Lu Qingyu's voice was filled with the majesty of an absolute superior, which instantly quieted the crowd around him.

Rather than dissatisfaction and resentment, the people were more afraid of the royal family.

Seeing Lu Qingyu's imposing aura, the crowd began to gradually disperse, and in the end, not a single one was left.

Ming Zichuan was so angry that he was shaking all over. He couldn't have imagined that the scene he had prepared so carefully could be easily ruined by the little girl in front of him who hadn't even grown all her hair yet.

He got up from the ground and stared at Lu Qingyu with a sinister look in his eyes. "Princess Jing is very sharp-tongued. I have learned my lesson. But killing someone means paying for their life. If you hand over the murderer, I will leave immediately."

Lu Qingyu still looked indifferent. "The results of Jingzhao Prefecture's investigation haven't come out yet. How can you be sure that the murderer is from the Zhenguogong Mansion?"

"The murderer was wearing the clothes of a guard from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion!"

"Oh? If I kill you while wearing the uniform of the Minister of War's guard, will your father think that there is a traitor in his family?"

Ming Zichuan was choked and his face became extremely gloomy. "What a great Princess Jing. Very good, very good."
