Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains

"You don't believe it? Then I can just sit here and wait for you to ask the Sixth Prince to verify my identity."

The third prince raised his eyebrows, his expression changed instantly, and he looked like he would let Sun Zhiping examine him.

It has to be said that the third prince's appearance scared Sun Zhiping directly.

Although the identity of this Mr. Li in front of him is unknown, he has an extraordinary demeanor at first glance.

He is not someone who can be casually brought in to make up the numbers. The things he said are indeed only known to people around the Sixth Prince. Sun Zhiping has no reason not to believe the Young Master Li in front of him.

Sun Zhiping immediately changed his expression and smiled flatteringly.

"Mr. Li, why are you here instead of staying in the capital to prepare for the Spring Examination?"

Sun Zhiping said that he did not doubt the identity of the third prince, but his words betrayed him.

The third prince knew that Sun Zhiping kept testing him just because he didn't trust him.

However, the third prince is not a small minion with low psychological quality who would self-destruct at the slightest trick.

At present, there is indeed no direct evidence to prove that the Third Prince is a member of the Sixth Prince's party. Moreover, he is indeed not a member of the Sixth Prince's party, but a capable assistant of the Sixth Prince's enemy, the Crown Prince's party.

At the moment, he is making up stories purely out of courage and skill, just to find a way out for himself and those present.

It is obvious at first glance that Sun Zhiping is a lackey, and he has never seen the world under the Sixth Prince's camp.

The Third Prince was not 100% confident that he could deceive him. Since he had already decided to pretend, he might as well pretend to the end. The Third Prince directly put forward his final request, intending to take this opportunity to firmly control the Qingshui County Armored Soldiers in his own hands.

This not only collected evidence of the Sixth Prince's attempt to rebel, but also eliminated the possibility of the Sixth Prince's rebellion directly from the source, nipping all signs of rebellion in the bud.

Thinking of this, the Third Prince's face suddenly turned very dark, and he immediately spoke in a stern voice.

"The situation in the capital is very chaotic right now. The Sixth Prince and the Crown Prince are fighting fiercely. The Sixth Prince is very cautious, fearing that if he is caught by someone, there will be no chance for him to make a comeback.

The Sixth Prince thought highly of you and assigned you an important task. But you did so many despicable things behind the Sixth Prince's back in Qingshui County, and even caused several deaths.

The people you killed ran out of Qingshui County and went to the capital to file a complaint. If my father hadn't known their purpose and detained them, you would have been escorted to the capital and torn into pieces by five horses.

It doesn't matter if you die, but if you act carelessly, the Sixth Prince will be in danger of destruction at any time.

The Sixth Prince is very worried about you, so he specifically asked me to take over all affairs in Qingshui County. The Sixth Prince takes into consideration that you have done a lot for him during this period, but you have also committed a serious crime, so he will offset your merits and demerits and give you one thousand taels of silver as your retirement money. You can go to Meishan Manor in Jingzhou to live out your retirement, and you are not allowed to come out without the secret order of His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince.

If you are not sure about what I said, you can send a pigeon to the capital to ask the Sixth Prince whether it is true. I will be waiting in the county.

However, I kindly remind you that if the Sixth Prince is angered by you, your fate will not only be forced to retire, so you should think carefully about it. "

The news told by the third prince was half true and half false, in order to scare Sun Zhiping.

A few months ago, two people from Qingshui County who went to the capital to file a complaint were detained by the prince's followers. Because the Sixth Prince was now quite powerful in the court, the prince's party temporarily detained them in the residence of Vice General Wang, a subordinate of General Lu, in order to better overthrow the Sixth Prince's lineage in the future. The Sixth Prince obviously didn't know about this incident, and Sun Zhiping obviously didn't know either.

At that time, the Crown Prince asked the Third Prince to come to Qingshui County. In addition to asking him to invite Tang Qingye back to Beijing, he also asked the Third Prince to investigate what the Sixth Prince wanted to do in Qingshui County as soon as he had the chance.

What the third prince didn't expect was that helping Xia Yingying solve a small matter would lead to such a big case.

Helping Xia Yingying this time was the right thing to do, and it also helped him solve a major problem.

He has made a great contribution this time. After returning to the capital, the Crown Prince will definitely reward him handsomely. By then, even the Black Iron Sword that the Crown Prince loves so much will be in his pocket.

When Sun Zhiping heard the Third Prince's statement that he was an envoy sent directly by the Sixth Prince, he dared not question the decision of Master Li.

He was originally a nobody, but he happened to make some money by running this gambling house and lived a dull life.

A few years ago, by chance, the Sixth Prince's men noticed his ability to run a gambling house and gave him a chance to climb up the career ladder and become an official.

He had never had the chance to become an official in his life, but this unexpected opportunity undoubtedly brought more vitality to his stagnant life.

The county magistrate abused his power and brought disaster to the people in the village, and quickly accumulated a large amount of wealth.

Sun Zhiping knew that it was impossible to get ahead overnight with the help of a noble person without paying a price.

Over the years, he has been loyal to the Sixth Prince, and with the Sixth Prince's protection, he has forged weapons and trained soldiers in Qingshui County. He originally thought that with his great achievements, if the Sixth Prince could successfully rebel and ascend to the throne one day, he would be more or less an official by then.

Sun Zhiping had been waiting, and only now woke up from his sweet dream.

The Sixth Prince looked down on him at all, and now he sent a descendant of a high-ranking official to take away all his power and even his hard-earned wealth. It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel any psychological gap.

But Sun Zhiping also knew his identity. Now the Sixth Prince was criticized in the court because of him. If the Sixth Prince's men had not intercepted the petition sent to the capital, any one of the charges listed in the petition would be a capital crime. He was a lonely man, and death was death, but there was a chance to live, who wouldn't want to live well.

During this period, Sun Zhiping amassed a large amount of wealth in Qingshui County, causing many people to lose their families. Some timid people went to the nearby state government to complain, but those state governments also accepted bribes from Sun Zhiping. How could they help those civilians who had no backing for no reason? It was simply a pipe dream for the civilians to get justice.

Many people had their families broken up and were threatened with death by Sun Zhiping from time to time. In order to save their descendants, they left Qingshui County and went to other places to make a living.

There were some who went to the capital to file complaints under the pretext of going to other places to make a living, but he sent people to fix the situation and even killed people to silence them. Unexpectedly, there were still some people who slipped through the net. Fortunately, the Sixth Prince protected him, otherwise, he would really be sentenced to death.

Sun Zhiping's brain is more active than that of ordinary people, but when he meets the third prince who grew up in the turbulent place like the palace, his level is still too low.

In addition, Sun Zhiping instinctively felt awe for the noble young man in front of him, so he easily believed what the third prince said to him.

What's more, the most crucial words said by the third prince were related to his life and death. People's rationality would decline when faced with life and death. Sun Zhiping had no doubts. He was sure that what Mr. Li said in front of him was true.

When it comes to life and death, Sun Zhiping has a very clear understanding of things like wealth and power. If you lose all of these, you can fight for them again, but if your life is gone, it is really gone.

"Okay, Mr. Li, I will leave tomorrow. I will go back tonight and sort out all the items here and hand them over to you." Sun Zhiping made his choice. "Please vote"
