Chapter 288: Capture the Kang Family!
"What?" Kang Yueqing paused slightly and turned to look at him, "My own home, I, the head of the family, can't enter?"
"No." Chen Qingfeng, dressed in military uniform, was full of momentum. "In order to ensure that Her Royal Highness the Princess is safe, we can only ask the Kang Family Master to stay still. If the Kang Family Master insists on going in and deploying troops to fight against General Xuan, then he will be fighting against the Emperor and Queen. If the empress resists, the consequences will probably not be something that the Kang family can bear."
Kang Yueqing looked at him coldly, and the calm but powerful aura of those who had been in power for many years was fully revealed at this moment.
However, Chen Qingfeng was born as a military general, so he was not afraid of this momentum.
There was a cold light between the two of them as they looked at each other, their ice swords clashed, and the air around them seemed to be condensed and tense.
"The princess lives in the post house. The guards inside and outside the post house are tight. How could she be kidnapped?" Mrs. Kang recalled that when she went to the post house, the guards inside and outside were like iron barrels. "Even if it is a dead soldier, There’s no way to get in.”
"I thought so before." Chen Qingfeng said calmly, "But when I woke up early in the morning, I found that the princess was missing. There was a corpse of a dead soldier lying in the post house. The dead soldier had the mark of the Kang family on his body."
"This is impossible!" Mrs. Kang's face changed immediately when she heard about the dead soldiers, "You——"
"The princess has been found!" General Xuan's thunderous voice sounded, "Come here! Capture the head of the Kang family, Kang Yueqing, Mrs. Kang, and their three sons together!"
Mrs. Kang's expression changed suddenly, and she turned her head in disbelief, and actually saw the little royal princess walking out with General Xuan.
"How... is this possible?" Her legs were weak and she couldn't believe the scene in front of her. "It's impossible, this is simply impossible..."
"Where's Zixu?" Kang Yueqing strode into the door and roared in a deep voice, "Zixu! Zixu!"
"When I, the general, entered, Kang Zixu was trying to be rude to the princess." General Xuan's tone was cold, hiding a murderous aura. "I, the general, knocked him out with a sword! Head of the Kang family, I'm afraid you and your wife will be needed for this matter." Follow this general to Beijing and give the Queen an explanation in person."
Kang Yueqing clenched his hands, it was impossible, there must be something fishy about this matter!
However, he suddenly thought of the scene where Zixu stayed up half the night last night, staying alone in the room as if waiting for something, and his heart slowly sank.
Yan Li walked out with empty legs, her face turned pale, and she stared at Mrs. Kang with cold eyes: "Yesterday the Kang family came to apologize, but in the evening someone kidnapped my princess and wanted to do evil. The Kang family is so lawless, even the royal family Don't you even care?"
"Princess, you have misunderstood." Mrs. Kang's panic was visible to the naked eye, "Your Highness, this must be a misunderstanding——"
"Misunderstanding? Is it a misunderstanding that Kang Zixu tortured and killed so many innocent women? Is it also a misunderstanding that he went to the house in person to force the scholar to give away his daughter?" Yan Li said in a cold tone, "The Kang family is such a heinous person——"
"Your Highness Princess!" Mrs. Kang knelt down with a plop, her face turned pale, she raised her hand and slapped herself on the face, "It's all because of my incompetence in raising my son. I beg the princess to be merciful. For the sake of the second prince, let us A chance to atone!"
"The Kang family has committed such heinous crimes. If I spare you, it would be an injustice to the people of Yanling!" Yan Li said coldly, "General Xuan, everyone in the Kang family - except for the disabled second son, everyone else has been captured. !”
General Xuan was about to respond when he heard the last sentence and was suddenly surprised and puzzled: "Are you going to let the second young master go?"
Kang Yueqing also seemed to realize something, and his eyes fell firmly on Yan Li's face.
"The Kang family has a big business. If all of them are held accountable, many industries, large and small, in Yanling will be affected, and the people who work in the Kang family in Yanling will also be in chaos." Yan Li turned around to explain, not knowing who he was explaining to. , "For the time being, I will leave the second young master with limited mobility to take care of the family business. After I return to Beijing, I will truthfully tell the queen everything that happened here and let her make a decision."
"yes."
"Your Highness the Princess." Kang Yueqing clenched his hands and could hear the gritted teeth of his words, "If what happened last night was really Zixu's doing, I will definitely give the princess an explanation, but -"
"There are no buts." Yan Li interrupted him mercilessly, staring at him with cold eyes, "The Kang family has been doing evil for many years, and the eldest son of Kang even used his power to bully the market, seize women from good families, and torture and kill his wives and concubines. He who behaves cruelly and refuses to admit it deserves death!”
Kang Yueqing sternly denied: "This is not true at all!"
Yan Li ignored his denial: "The Kang family also sent people to assassinate this princess——"
"Spitting blood!" Mrs. Kang was still kneeling on the ground, and she started getting angry before she got up. "Have the Kang family ever assassinated the princess?"
Yan Li said angrily: "Kang Zixu wants to take possession of this princess, and when he doesn't get what he wants, he wants to kill her. Could it be that this princess has wronged you?!"
"Come here!" General Xuan ordered immediately and decisively, "Get the Kang family! All exits of the house are blocked and no one is allowed to enter or exit."
Yan Li turned around and added: "Bring out all Kang Zixu's wives and concubines from the backyard and ask for their confessions."
"Yes, princess." General Xuan agreed and told Yan Li what he said, "Have you heard all of them? Bring out all Kang Zixu's wives and concubines, and I will ask them one by one."
"Yes, General!"
Kang Yueqing's eyes were about to burst, and he was so angry that he wished he could silence all the people in front of him.
However, it was clear that he no longer had the final say at this time.
Kang Zixu's wives and concubines were quickly brought out. They didn't know what to look at, but they were shocked when they saw it.
The women present were all teenagers, the oldest was no more than eighteen, the youngest was only thirteen or fourteen, all of them were slender, and looked so weak that they would fall down in the wind.
"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess, the General and all the lords." The women knelt on the ground weakly, their faces terrified.
"How old are you?" Yan Li frowned, "Who is the legal wife?"
A woman in purple clothes raised her head weakly: "I am."
"Are you willing to marry Kang Zixu in a formal ceremony?"
The woman shook her head and nodded: "It was a formal ceremony, but... but not willing."
Marrying in a formal ceremony was not willing, obviously she was either forced by herself or her parents were forced by her.
Yan Li turned around: "What about the others? Are they willing, or were they forcibly occupied?"
"Your Highness." Madam Kang looked grim, "They are just a group of women who have never seen the world. Seeing that the Kang family is in trouble, they naturally want to break away from the Kang family. How can we believe their words? These little bitches are all cowards-"
"Slap!"
The air condensed.
Chen Qingfeng looked left and right, and there was no woman he could do anything to. Finally, he looked at Yan Li.
Yan Li frowned: "Why are you looking at me? Hit me."
Chen Qingfeng walked over, raised his hand and slapped Madam Kang, snap!
Her mouth was broken on the spot, and blood flowed.
