The Legend of the Resourceful Princess

"From the very beginning, the City Lord of Qing Xun City left a way out for himself. In the slave market, no one dared to say anything about him. These slaves only knew that the mayor was someone who would bear all the humiliation for them. Those who spread such rumors were the City Lord's men, spreading it out like this behind the backs of the six noble families. It was all for the sake of getting him off the hook one day.

The moment the ground split open, those who knew were all executed. This is Qing Xun. "

Jun Ru gritted his teeth as he spoke.

Mu Ru Yue wasn't surprised. She would be disappointed if she were to admit her mistake. After all, with Qing Xun's abilities, it was impossible for him to be killed so easily. Thinking of this, Mu Ru Yue's gaze turned cold.

Her conversation with Qing Xun underground had finally made her understand a ridiculous fact.

Perhaps … In his clear eyes, she was a heartless person. She also felt that Qing Xun was a heartless person. She did not know how to deal with it. He did not even know who was in the wrong. So... She would not think about Qing Xun until the next time they met.

The next time they met, it would be the time of life and death.

As for his current situation … These slaves were the most important.

Qing Xun wanted to use the slaves to get rid of his crimes, but these slaves had been separated from their lives for so long, they also needed someone to help them return for another month. As for Qing Xun, without a doubt, it was the best choice. He would do this for his own life.

After thinking it through, Mu Ru Yue heaved a sigh of relief.

He just stood at the periphery, waiting to see the slaves be released.

"City Lord Qing Xun, your words are baseless. How do we know if you are in cahoots with these people?" someone from the eight city lords said. When Qing Xun heard this, his gaze landed on this person.

Laughing, "With His Highness here, who can easily escape punishment? I am also an ordinary person. I am guilty. However, before you convict me, please release these slaves. They've been locked up for too long. They've already … I don't know how to walk anymore. "

Qing Xun said.

When Feng Qing heard this, he frowned. However, he still nodded and said, "Come! "Release the slaves from the ground one by one."

Following Feng Qing's orders, these people were continuously released. However, regardless of where they were released, after they were released, most of them headed towards Qing Xun. Roughly two hours later, everyone was released from the slave market.

There were more than a hundred thousand of them, and they were all gathered nearby, filling up the entire city. They knelt on the ground without any sign of joy or bliss. They were all kowtowing to a single person. This person was Qing Xun.

This scene caused everyone present to be stunned.

"You all … Don't do that. " Qing Xun's face was filled with panic as he knelt down, "I am just a sinner, how can you …"

"City Lord!" You knelt before us that day, and today we will kneel before you as well. If it weren't for you, we would already be dead. You said that someone would save us one day. You are the one who gave us hope. "

"Yes, City Lord."

"We should thank the heavens for meeting you."

These people were all very excited. Some of them had just been released and were no longer able to speak, but they were all kowtowing towards Qing Xun. In this instant, it was as if Qing Xun was the savior of Peony City.

When Feng Qing saw this, he finally knew why Qing Xun wanted to let his go first. No one was to blame. If he had been convicted first, Qing Xun would definitely have been suppressed and sent to the capital. It was impossible for these slaves to travel to the capital at their speed.

By the time they arrived, it was too late.

But here … He definitely had to report this matter to his father, the Emperor. At that time, even if Qing Xun failed to plead for the lives of the hundreds of thousands of slaves, it would still not happen.

If he didn't agree to release him first, he would be scolded by the people on the ground. Said he was inhuman.

He had really schemed against everyone. Really … As expected of the City Lord of Peony City.

"Your Highness, please take good care of these people. This sinner will follow you to the capital for punishment." Everything here will end with this sinner's life. " Qing Xun's voice was filled with tears.

"City Lord, no!"

"Your Highness, please let the City Lord go."

"He's a good officer."

"Please."

At this moment, aside from the few city lords beside Feng Qing and Mu Ru Yue outside, almost everyone was begging Feng Qing. Hundreds of thousands of people were begging for death for one person.

This was something that had never happened in the past month.

"Tsk tsk, looks like there won't be any changes to the future of the Peony City. It was fortunate that this young master was hot-blooded. In the end, he was not treated as a good person and was instead a hero. "I've actually offended someone." Bai Yu looked wronged.

"No, Peony City has changed."

Mu Ru Yue looked at this scene with a smile.

"You still have the mood to laugh?" Bai Yu was speechless.

"Of course I'm laughing. Although that fellow Qing Xun is a scum, and this wangfei also wants him to die, I have to admit that he's a talented person." At this moment, tens of thousands of people were asking for orders for him. No matter what, he would do things for these people from now on.

If these people wanted to return in the next month, they would definitely be faster with him around.

Moreover, the matter of these people was shocking to the eye, and it was his majesty himself who had brought it up. He believed that if there were to be any more slave matters in the future, they would definitely not be in this city. Even the slave market for the entire next month would change.

Why isn't this wangfei smiling? "

Mu Ru Yue laughed loudly as she spoke.

"What wangfei says is right. This ending is the best for Peony City. The six great families would never exist again. Peony City would never repeat the same mistake again. It's just that you and I... But his life was in danger.

Whether or not we can even leave this city is a different story. "

"Your Highness, please press me down." Qing Xun said with a sincere expression.

Feng Qing's phoenix eyes swept across the crowd and he said indifferently: "With so many people pleading for you, I will not do anything against the will of the people. I will bring the matters here, your confession, and the words of these slaves to royal father to see.

Your judgement, will be decided by royal father. As for the people from these aristocratic families … "Capture all of them for me and I will deal with them on a later date."

Feng Qing said.

"Your Highness …" Qing Xun looked at Feng Qing in disbelief.

"You win." Feng Qing's voice was very soft. As he finished speaking, he began to instruct the rest of the people to place the slaves inside. Right now, other than the Peony Courtyard which was still intact, the rest of Peony City had already become extremely dilapidated.

It was impossible to make someone stand here.

"Your Highness, since I am still the city lord of Peony City, may I make a request?" Qing Xun asked.

"Speak."

"Right now, the Peony Court is still in good shape. Although there are problems with the streets, they will be repaired in a short period of time. I would like to ask Your Highness to hold this year's Peony Gathering and Peony Gathering as usual tonight …" It was the best way to recover Peony City.

This year's income will also be used on those people who have been rescued. "
