The carriage rumbled forward, and when they walked outside an alley, Leng Lan suddenly heard crying coming from the alley. She opened the curtain and looked: "What's the noise?"

The driver stopped the carriage, and not long after, a guard came back after inquiring about the information: "Princess, it's Pi Mansion who is ransacking the house."

Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is a serious crime involving the nine tribes, and no one in the Pi family can escape it.

Not only the people of Pi Mansion, but also the clansmen who did not live in Pi Mansion, as long as they were still alive, would be arrested and executed at a later date.

Leng Lanzhi felt mixed emotions as he listened to the cries hovering over Pi Mansion.

In the crowd, Mei Ran'er looked unbearable: "Young Master, these women are so pitiful."

Murong Xuanjun's face tightened and he said nothing.

At this time, a girl from the Pi family shouted loudly: "We are wronged! We didn't do anything, why should we be arrested?!"

A soldier said: "Just because Pi is a traitor to the enemy, the evidence is conclusive!"

"We don't know that my father is a traitor to the enemy, so what does this have to do with us?" the girl argued.

The soldier sneered: "Don't tell us this, we are just following orders! What's more, the laws of the Sheng Dynasty are like this, if you don't obey, you have to hold it back!"

"I want to see Your Majesty!"

The girl resisted desperately and even wanted to push away the surrounding soldiers and rush out.

Seeing this, the soldier who spoke kicked her in the stomach and said coldly: "Be honest! Your family is a serious criminal. Even if I killed you on the spot, no one would say anything. Don't you dare? If you make trouble, don’t blame me for being rude!”

Mei Raner picked up Murong Xuan's arm and said, "Mr. Murong, let's help them!"

Murong Xuan: "?"

Mei Ran'er said with tears in her eyes: "The facts of Master Pi's matter have not yet been determined, but no matter what, these female relatives are innocent and they should not be implicated."

"Besides, look at those officials, why do they treat those women like that? It's too much!"

Murong Xuan: "..."

He really couldn't stand it.

Leng Lanzhi came to the door of Pi Mansion and happened to hear Mei Ran'er's words.

Seeing that Murong Xuan seemed to really want to help the female family members of Pi Mansion, she almost wanted to pry open Murong Xuan's brain to see if there was paste inside!

"Mr. Murong thinks life in Zhennan's mansion is too comfortable and he wants to cause some trouble for the two elders?"

Murong Xuan paused, and before he could say "Stop", he turned into: "Princess? Why are you here?"

Leng Lanzhi said lightly: "My palace's chariot passed by here, so I came down to take a look."

Murong Xuan was silent.

He hasn't forgotten what happened last time.

At that time, he asked her why she killed his powerful maid a few years ago, but she avoided talking about it, which made him more convinced that she had done something wrong.

Originally, he had some doubts in his heart, but now he had no doubts at all, only deep confusion and anger remained.

Mei Ran'er's eyes flickered between the two. Although Murong Xuan's face was stern and he quickly looked away from Leng Lanzhi, she could keenly sense that the bond between the two seemed to be deeper.

Only if you care will you get into trouble.

If he didn't care, Murong Xuan wouldn't have such a dead father expression.

Her eyes flashed slightly, and she decided to add fire to the fire and completely burn out the bond between the two people: "Princess, please, save these female relatives in Pi Mansion! They are so pitiful!"

At this time, there were not only a few of them watching, but also many nearby people. Knowing that this girl with gorgeous makeup was the current princess, she couldn't help showing awe and curiosity.

Mei Ran'er added: "Men will not discuss anything with the women, but when the men commit a crime, the women will be implicated and die together. How unfair is this to the women?"

Many of the onlookers were women, and they couldn't help but feel sad when they heard this.

As women, they can relate to each other.

"That's right, what mistake did these women make? Why should they die together?"

Hearing the echoing words around her, a smile flashed across Mei Ran'er's eyes.

She wanted to see what this woman would do under the gaze of so many pairs of eyes.

Speaking out to help would be tantamount to disobeying Emperor Jianliang's orders and would anger Emperor Jianliang.

Even if Emperor Jianliang would not punish her because she was a favored princess, he would definitely delay her because of this.

If she didn't help, the spittle of the people around her would drown her!

Leng Lan saw Mei Ran'er's intention at a glance, and her noble eyebrows were full of coldness and see-through ridicule: "Miss Mei wants to use morality to kidnap me?"

"It's a pity that in my heart, Shengguo's safety and interests are more important than anything else, and Shengguo's laws are more important than anything else!"

"The law is like this. It is impossible for me to openly go against the law of the day."

Mei Ran'er seemed to be frightened by the aura she unleashed. She shrank and couldn't help but retreat behind Murong Xuan: "Princess, I just think this law is too strict..."

Leng Lanzhi looked at her with a smile but not a smile, and suddenly pointed the finger at Murong Xuan: "It's normal for Miss Mei not to understand why this law is so stipulated, but Young Master Murong has been familiar with the law since he was a child, so he doesn't know how to do it." Is this stupid?"

Murong Xuan frowned slightly.

Her attitude made him very uncomfortable.

But he did know the reason.

Moreover, he is a little scared now.

Fortunately, he didn't shout "Shut up" just now, otherwise it would really bring trouble to the Zhennan Government.

He was stunned as soon as the thought arose.

So, is she trying to stop him...

He had mixed feelings.

Seeing that Murong Xuan looked wrong, Mei Ran'er almost wanted to bite her silver teeth into pieces, but there was a look of disapproval on her face: "No matter what the reason is, you can't implicate innocent people..."

Murong Xuan heard these words as soon as he came back to his senses. For some reason, he subconsciously glanced at Leng Lanzhi, only to see Leng Lanzhi's eyes full of mockery.

He felt even more uncomfortable and said: "A hundred years ago, an official from the previous dynasty was found to have collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. According to the laws at that time, the nine tribes should be implicated."

"But the queen at that time was kind-hearted and felt that innocent people should not be implicated, especially those female relatives. The queen of the previous dynasty felt that the crime was committed by men, and women were raised in boudoir, weak and weak, and there was no way to do it. The ability to take revenge.”

"So, she interceded with the former emperor and pardoned the female family members, while only dealing with the men in the official's family."

"Three years later, foreign enemies invaded. It was almost like entering an uninhabited country, and they almost reached the capital."

"It was later found out that all this was because... someone was instigating behind the scenes. The instigator was the daughter of the official who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. In order to avenge her father and brother, she sold her body, seduced the enemy's war god prince, and let The God of War, Prince, avenged her.”

"In that battle, millions of people lay dead and blood flowed for thousands of miles. The royal family of the previous dynasty was almost completely slaughtered."

It also laid the groundwork for the downfall of the previous dynasty. (End of chapter)
