Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

Fengtian Prefecture

There was nothing to do during this period and he had been idle for too long. Finally, this happened. Lord Ma, wearing his official uniform and sitting in the court, suddenly felt refreshed.

"Sir, I have brought back Xu Feng and his group!" Constable Gao saluted with his hands clasped together.

"Hmm~" Mr. Gao nodded.

Looking at the five or six people in the court, they were led by a tall woman, and there were several maids and servants.

"Who is here?" Lord Gao slammed the gavel.

Shen Ping clasped her hands together and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "My Lord, I am Shen Ping, these are all my maids and servants. I wonder why Captain Gao invited me here."

Upon hearing this, Master Hong stepped forward, spread out his palm, and pointed at the two teeth on his hand: "Sir, this shrew allowed me to hurt people and beat several of us. My two front teeth were also knocked out. Look, sir, this is the evidence."

"Humph!"

Shen Ping sneered: "Then you should ask Master Hong why he was beaten."

When Mr. Hong heard this, his face changed and he felt a little guilty. After all, this was not a glorious thing.

Lord Ma looked at Master Hong's expression and knew there must be something hidden behind this, but he remained calm.

He pointed out, "No matter what, you can't hit someone. If he did something wrong, you can punish him with the law, but you hit someone, and that's wrong."

"Correct!"

Young Master Hong was feeling a little guilty at first, but when he heard what Lord Ma said, he straightened his back and said loudly, "Besides, I noticed that you guys were acting sneaky, and she, who is obviously a woman, dressed as a man, I think you might be spies."

"You are so slanderous!"

Xu Feng clenched his fists so hard that they made a clattering sound, and raised his fist towards Master Hong again.

"I'm talking about you. What's wrong? Are you feeling guilty?" Master Chen added fuel to the fire.

"Xu Feng~"

Shen Ping let out a low growl in a deep voice. These two young masters just wanted to provoke her. If she took action again in front of Lord Ma, it would be exactly what they wanted.

"Miss~" Ling tugged at Xu Feng's sleeve.

"What's wrong, are you scared?" Master Hong smiled contemptuously. Then he clasped his hands together and said to Lord Ma, "Sir, she knocked out two of my front teeth, and now she wants to beat me in court. She doesn't take you seriously~"

"I'm going to hit you! You're bullying a decent woman~" Xu Feng couldn't bear it any longer. He threw a left hook, a whirlwind kick, and a flying kick, directly kicking Master Hong two meters away.

The speed of the action shocked everyone. Even if Shen Ping wanted to take action, it was too late.

Master Hong's body was bent like a shrimp, curled up on the ground and groaned softly.

"Brother Hong~"

Master Chen and his companions were so frightened that they quickly ran over to check.

Shen Ping did not expect that Xu Feng would attack again in court, which further confirmed his guilt.

"Snapped……"

Lord Ma slammed the gavel and said, "How dare you, you dare to hit me in front of me in the court. You have no regard for the law. Come! Take her down!"

Captain Gao and several constables drew their knives and surrounded Xu Feng.

Xu Feng's eyes were wide open and he slowly turned his body, sword drawn, confronting them, ready to strike.

Cuihong and Cuifeng were frightened and quickly hid behind Shen Ping.

"Miss~"

Ling was about to step forward, but when she saw the knife in the constable's hand, she was so frightened that she couldn't move her legs.

"stop!"

Shen Ping shouted, clasped his hands together and said to Lord Ma, "Lord Ma, Xu Feng shouldn't have taken action, but in the court, Master Hong openly provoked first.

Besides, he did bully decent women. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the teahouse owner~”

Before Shen Ping finished speaking, a yamen runner suddenly came in to report that a girl named Lanhua was outside and was suing Master Hong for molesting and insulting her.

"Yes, it's her!" Shen Ping knew that the person coming must be that girl.

"Bring her in!" Lord Ma ordered the bailiff with a serious face.

Immediately afterwards, Lanhua was brought in. She looked around at everyone, fell to her knees, pointed at Master Hong, and began to cry.

From Lanhua's intermittent narration, Lord Ma also understood the cause of the matter, and his face suddenly turned red with anger.

I originally wanted to turn a blind eye and let Mr. Hong go, but if I help him now, wouldn’t I be harming myself?

"Sir, they are in the same group." Master Hong endured the pain and pointed at Xu Feng.

"Sir, the Tenth Prince is here, and he said he brought the Emperor's handwritten order!" a bailiff reported hurriedly.

As they were talking, the Tenth Prince walked in, followed by Guard Zhan and several guards.

Lord Ma quickly walked down from the desk and said respectfully, "Your subordinate greets the Tenth Prince. Your subordinate is investigating a case. I wonder why the Tenth Prince is here?"

The Tenth Prince had a serious expression on his face. He glanced at Shen Ping and the others. Seeing that they were fine, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.

"Sir Ma, Shen Ping and others are involved in an old case. The emperor ordered me to come and take Shen Ping and his group to investigate carefully. There must be no mistakes. This is the emperor's order."

As he spoke, the Tenth Prince respectfully handed over the Emperor's handwritten edict.

Upon hearing this, Lord Ma quickly took it with both hands, opened it and looked at it carefully. Yes, it was indeed the emperor's handwriting, and the emperor's red seal was stamped on the signature.

Lord Ma carefully handed over the imperial edict and asked tentatively, "Tenth Prince, may I ask what old case Shen Ping is involved in, and whether she is really a spy for the enemy?"

The Tenth Prince raised his lips and glanced at Lord Ma: "Lord Ma, as subjects, you and I must remember not to guess the emperor's thoughts. We should do whatever the emperor orders. Do you doubt that this is not the emperor's order?"

"I dare not~" Lord Ma said with a serious face.

"That's good!" The Tenth Prince nodded and signaled Guard Zhan behind him to take Shen Ping and his group with him.

As for Lanhua and Master Hong, they stayed in Fengtian Prefecture and were further interrogated by Lord Ma.

Before leaving, the Tenth Prince said, intentionally or unintentionally, that Lord Ma must thoroughly investigate the case and not close it hastily because of the other party's identity.

At this moment, Lord Hong Changhong also arrived. When he learned that his son had done this, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and slapped him twice in public.

"Father~"

Hong Tao didn't expect that his father wouldn't help him either.

"Shut up, you jerk!" Hong Chang glared at his son.

He had already inquired about it when he came and knew that this matter was related to Shen Ping.

Shen Ping is also the mother-in-law of the Tenth Prince, and the Emperor also values ​​Shen Ping very much. If he offends her, nothing good will happen to him.

Moreover, it was obvious that his son was in the wrong first. As an official appointed by the court, if he allowed his son to do such a thing, he would lose his official position.

After careful consideration, Hong Chang had no choice but to take the initiative and educate his son in public, so as to restore some of his reputation.

"Master Hong, Master Ma, this matter has alarmed the Emperor. You should consider it carefully and remember not to be clever."

The Tenth Prince spoke with a double meaning and walked out, leaving the two men sweating coldly.
