The Legend of the Resourceful Princess

As the sunlight fell into the cracks, one could see hundreds of people in iron cages. There were at least a thousand of these cages, and this was all they could see. There must be a lot of them underground.

A foul stench was emitted from the crack in the ground.

They were all underground.

Very few people could see the entire slave market. Even as members of the six great families, they were only controlling a part of themselves. Even because they were busy with other things, busy with scheming and scheming.

The matters of the slave market were left to the servants.

And they needed money, and they needed a share. That's enough. The six noble families were high and mighty, while the City Lord's Mansion was as precious as jade. The scene in front of them was something that neither of them had ever seen before. White bones piled up into a mountain.

Fresh lives were trapped in cages and their eyes were glazed. There were even some people who fainted the moment they saw the sunlight. Their cages were full of shit and urine. His body was also extremely dirty and messy.

Everyone was struggling. He stretched out his hand as if asking for help.

However, this abyss was like a human's heart. Many people on scene who could not hold on to it began to scream.

He didn't dare to look at the real Purgatory of the mortal world.

These... The sin of the slave market.

"My god." Among these eight city lords, a younger young master could not help but cover his nose. His pair of intelligent eyes were filled with shock. He had heard of them before, but had never actually seen them. Naturally, he was not so shocked.

"I see hell." An old City Lord said with a trembling voice.

At this moment, the complexions of the people from the six families were extremely unsightly. There were even some who were timid who fell to the ground. It's over … This time, even if the mayor were to return, it would be of no use.

The Peony City was completely finished.

Soon, the fissure grew larger and larger. It was a fissure that could be seen from every corner of Peony City's 12th Street. The screams and screams of those people were like the wails of hell. It made everyone present feel uncomfortable.

Finally, after about a quarter of an hour, the crevice stopped.

Everyone was silent and no one dared to speak.

Seeing that, Feng Qing said, "I was invited by the City Lord of Qing Xun to come to the Peony City to have fun. I came across the matter of slaves and investigated them thoroughly, but I didn't expect it to be so outrageous. After considering it over and over again, I still feel that I should let everyone see me. After all, neither I nor you have the right to know.

Perhaps, these people have your missing relatives. Even if there wasn't... This human purgatory before us, I only want to ask you, you wait and see, should we leave such a place behind?

Today, I will interrogate the people involved in this matter right here in the Peony Garden! "

Feng Qing's voice was still not loud. It could even be said that it was cold and cheerless. That man was still arrogant in his eyes. Even so, these people were still very excited.

"Please make the decision, Your Highness!"

"Please make the decision, Your Highness!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

"I ask that Your Highness uphold justice for my Peony City and return a clear day to it." As everyone's voices rose and fell, a somewhat disorderly sound rang out. Everyone's gaze turned over and saw a man dressed in blue, and was walking towards them.

Beside him was a green-clothed girl. With a long knife in his hand.

"It's the City Lord!"

"City Lord, what exactly is underground!?"

"Do you know about this as well?"

"Mayor, are you here to confess?"

"Mayor, you're not such a person, are you?"

For a time, there was talk about everything. However, when she heard the words of these people, Feng Qing's gaze focused. From the looks of it, the City Lord of Qing Xun was very popular in Peony City. Even at this stage, he was still loved by many. There was still someone who was willing to believe in him.

Qing Xun walked in front of Feng Qing under the gaze of the crowd and greeted his, "Your Highness, this humble subject was busy with some urgent matters in the study earlier, so I came late. I have to trouble you to take charge of the situation."

"It's fine." Feng Qing said. At this moment, it was not the time for him to completely fall out with the other party. Naturally, he would not bring embarrassment upon himself.

Hearing Feng Qing's words, Qing Xun continued, "Then Your Highness, please give this subject some time. Let me first explain this to these people so as to not hurt their hearts." Qing Xun continued speaking.

Feng Qing nodded. He patiently said, "Alright, I would also like to hear your explanation."

When Qing Xun heard this, he faintly smiled. He looked at the crowd and said: "Everyone, this matter …. I'm sorry, I know. "

When these words were spoken, the crowd burst into an uproar.

At the side, even Ling'er's expression changed as she gripped the longblade in her hand tightly.

"What kind of joke is this!"

In the crowd, someone threw a rock over.

"We trust you so much."

"Exactly!"

"You piece of trash!"

Everyone cursed Qing Xun as if they wanted to kill him. Qing Xun didn't dodge, only allowing them to smash onto his body. After a while, these people seemed to be relieved of their anger. Qing Xun's body was also dripping with blood.

Seeing such a limpid appearance, everyone was stupefied.

"Everyone, I am indeed trash, and I do deserve to be beaten. As a citizen of Peony City, I wasn't able to protect the city. As the mayor, I wasn't able to restore peace to everyone. I... At the beginning of his term in office, when he saw this scene, he was just as furious as everyone else.

However, the people from the six families trapped me in the City Lord's Mansion. The only thing I can do is to make you suffer less and not be controlled. All these years, as the City Lord, I have tried countless times to reveal these things. However, the moment they are revealed, my Peony City will fall apart. As the City Lord, I cannot do it.

I am a weak man, and it is only right that you wait to kill me. "

Qing Xun's attitude was sincere, and when he looked at these people, his expression was one of unprecedented seriousness.

After everyone heard this, they all began whispering amongst themselves.

"City Lord, if you have any difficulties, please tell us!"

"These people... What are you going to do? "

"What should we do in the future!?"

Many women in the crowd shouted.

Qing Xun was extremely popular in Peony City. As the City Lord, he was clean and sincere, and he loved his wife deeply. He was very handsome. It could be said to be perfect. Naturally, there would be many supporters.

Qing Xun's face still revealed a bitter smile, "Peony City, from a long time ago, was Sin City. Not long after I found out about these things, I became the city lord. I tried to destroy them, but I couldn't.

I also tried to seek help from the royal family, but before the letter could reach the royal family, it was intercepted and left behind. My Peony City... This was a place that had been abandoned. I can't do anything but limit these people.

Now that His Highness the Crown Prince has come and exposed this matter to us, as the mayor, I can finally be convicted. It's better than anything. "If possible, I hope that I can die in this land and make amends for the people underground."

His tone was so gentle.

After everyone heard this, they all fell silent.

When Mu Ru Yue and the others heard Qing Xun's words, they nearly fell to the ground.

"It's all thanks to him." Bai Yu clicked his tongue. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that Qing Xun would lie at a time like this.

"Naturally. After all, the slaves under the ground will all stand on his side. " Jun Ruo said with a pained expression.

"Oh?" White Mirrorjade was slightly puzzled. This was something he really didn't expect. He was wondering how Qing Xun was going to get out of this predicament.
