Chapter 536: Beat the Gongs and Drums, Come and Watch the Fun

In the government office.

The county magistrate heard that Princess Funing had come with her three brothers, so he rushed over eagerly.

He stayed by her side, flattering and smiling.

But Shen Ningning ignored everyone.

She called a bunch of villagers from Xiangyun Village, all of whom had gongs, drums, and suonas in their hands.

"Your Highness, what are you going to do?" The county magistrate asked timidly.

Could it be that Princess Funing suddenly had the idea to play music in the government office?

Shen Ningning looked back and glanced at him: "I heard that the Wu family came to report the case, I thought you knew."

The county magistrate was stunned, then reacted: "Ah, that matter... I know."

How could he not know?

Lord Wu arranged for people to come early in the morning, and forced them to order the officials to arrest people from the Xie family.

But how dare they? They had just reported to their immediate superior, the prefect, who was on his way, and were planning to discuss how to solve it.

Shen Ningning pointed to the three tall and dull men behind him.

"I've brought my brothers here. If the Wu family has anything to say, let them confront us now."

After saying that, Shen Ningning turned around, her skirt crossed the orange arc, and she sat directly in the armchair.

She waved her hand, and the villagers of Xiangyun Village, led by Sister Liu, ran outside the government office, beating gongs and drums and shouting.

"Everyone, come and see, a scumbag belittled his wife in a brothel, was discovered by his friends and beat her up, and even turned the tables and said that others hurt him."

"Come and see! Everyone, come and judge, and make it clear in the government office."

The villagers' voices were very loud, and soon, many people who didn't know the truth came.

The three brothers of the Xie family looked at each other, and all walked to their sister.

Xie Mingxu lowered his head and asked softly: "Sister, is it not good to make such a big fuss?"

After all, it was a fact that his third brother Xu Jingxi beat people in a brothel.

Shen Ningning held the teacup and drank calmly: "Today I want to let everyone in the capital know what kind of person Wu Ke is."

He belittled Ye Shangyi and bullied her good friend;

He didn't admit his mistake after being beaten, and wanted to turn the tables and bully her brothers.

Shen Ningning absolutely couldn't stand it!

The county magistrate saw it from the side and thought it was bad.

Princess Funing must have an explanation.

So, he hurriedly asked the officials to go to the Wu Mansion to invite people without stopping.

After a while, Mrs. Wu came with Wu Ke.

It is said that Lord Wu went to the palace to file a complaint, so he was not at home.

To Shen Ningning's surprise, Ye Shangyi actually came with the Wu family.

Seeing her, Xu Jingxi pursed his thin lips unnaturally and lowered his head.

Xie Mingan turned his head and asked quietly: "Does she know that you fight for her?"

Xu Jingxi had a cold face and secretly stepped on Xie Mingan.

"Second brother, don't talk too much."

Xie Ming'an laughed, his romantic face was full of teasing.

Until Xie Mingxu turned back coldly and warned him, he silently restrained himself a little.

In the court, his sister was waiting to make a decision for them, how could he still smile?

Shen Ningning took the initiative to let Ye Shangyi sit next to her.

"Shangyi, are you here to listen too?"

"Well," Ye Shangyi's face was a little bad. She glanced at Xu Jingxi and said meaningfully, "Let me hear why Xu Jingxi beat people."

Mrs. Wu shouted coldly over there: "Why else can he do that? Relying on the power of his family, he is simply lawless. It's good that the princess is here today. Let's make things clear, so that you won't say we are unreasonable in the future."

Shen Ningning glanced at her: "Whether it is reasonable or unreasonable, you will know in a while."

Mrs. Wu's face froze after hearing this.

At this time, the county magistrate asked the official to help Wu Ke sit on the chair opposite Shen Ningning.

Shen Ningning took a look and saw that he was really beaten.

There was a white bandage on his head.

Many people had gathered at the gate of the government office.

Wu Ke dodged twice and said to Xu Jingxi beside Shen Ningning: "Xie San Gongzi, didn't I say that as long as you apologize to me, this matter will be over? I was beaten like this by you now, and you still tossed me to the government office. It's really unfair."

Xu Jingxi didn't say anything, just looked at him coldly. Before coming, Shen Ningning told him that he didn't need to speak unless necessary.

At this moment, Shen Ningning raised her crystal eyes and sneered at Wu Ke.

"Apologize? You insulted Shangyi first, why should my third brother apologize to you? In my opinion, Shangyi is his classmate and my best friend. You humiliated her, and I haven't settled the score with you yet!"

Ye Shangyi looked at Wu Ke with a faint look.

Wu Ke hurriedly denied: "Shang Yi, don't listen to their instigation. How could I insult you in front of my friends?"

Mrs. Wu also sneered secretly.

They had already arranged for the group of young men who had dinner with Wu Ke. Their fathers all worked under Lord Wu. Anyone who dared to expose them would destroy their own future.

Wu Ke also knew this, so he accused them even more fiercely.

"Xu Jingxi! I have no grudges against you. Not only did you bring your second brother to me, but you also wanted to sow discord between me and Shang Yi. You...are you angry because you saw that Shang Yi and I were about to get engaged, and you liked her, so you targeted me like this?"

As soon as these words came out, the people standing at the door were in an uproar and whispered to each other.

"I was wondering why the son of the Xie family would fight with others in a brothel. It turned out to be for a woman."

"She is not an ordinary woman. She is the daughter of the Ye family, the only granddaughter of Master Ye."

Xu Jingxi still kept his mouth tight and followed Shen Ningning's instructions without speaking.

But the big palm under his sleeve had already clenched into a fist.

Wu Ke saw that he didn't speak, and said: "Shangyi, look, he is guilty!"

However, Ye Shangyi looked at him with cold eyes.

"Xu Jingxi and I have been classmates and have never done anything out of line. You insist that he beat you for me. Isn't that too far-fetched?"

"Wu Ke, I think about it and I doubt it. Could it be that you really said something about me in the brothel, so I asked my friend Xu Jingxi to vent my anger for me?"

Wu Ke's face turned pale: "Shangyi! If I say bad things about you, let me... let me be struck by five thunders and die a miserable death!"

Mrs. Wu was anxious: "Ke'er! Don't talk nonsense like that."

Ye Shangyi pursed her lips, her eyes became deeper.

Shen Ningning, who was sitting next to her, clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Okay, you made a good oath. There are gods above your head. If you lie later, I will ask God to send down three hundred thunders to teach you a lesson!"

When Wu Ke heard this, he immediately felt guilty and even a little scared.

This is Princess Funing, the legendary Fu girl with supernatural powers. If she really asked God to send down thunders, would he still be alive?

Just when Wu Ke was trying to find an excuse to escape, a voice came from the door:

"Your Highness, Hongying is here!"

Everyone was confused, not knowing who Hongying was.

Only Wu Ke's face suddenly changed.

Hongying was the brothel girl he held in his arms that day. Princess Funing actually brought her here to testify?
