My Lord, your wife is spreading rumors about you again.

Chapter 3 I'm willing to spend one night with the prince

Wu Yawei put down the divorce letter. He couldn't afford to offend Zhang Zhi, so he retreated in a hurry.

The yamen runner who had just been beaten took two steps and suddenly stopped again: "Second Miss Ming, do you know how to fight?"

Mingli raised her eyes, her face was as red as a tearful pear blossom, pale as a rosy cloud.

"As a daughter, I naturally won't do that."

"is it?"

The bailiff didn't believe it and took two steps closer: "But that slap you just gave was so powerful, how do you explain it?" An ordinary woman in the boudoir would have her legs weakened when she saw a bailiff, so how could she have the strength to slap someone?

Mingli responded calmly, "Just now there was a mosquito on your face. Mosquitoes are most poisonous in autumn, so you must be quick and ruthless to kill them with one blow. I mean well, if you mind..."

She raised her face and closed her eyes: "You can call me back, but I won't tell anyone a word."

Yamen runner: “.”

"No need for that. Miss Ming, just continue to kill the mosquitoes."

Wu Yawei stepped in to smooth things over, then turned to Zhang Zhi and said, "My Lord, since you have pledged your life, you don't have to go to the Yamen Prison. But before the Tiger Guards and the Dali Temple take over the case, if she escapes or dies, even if Lord Zhang himself comes, we will still handle the case impartially."

"Who are you cursing to death?!" Zhang Zhi immediately cursed with a dark face: "You are a bunch of black-hearted little bastards who ate coal. What do you think of the Kyoto Prefecture?"

"We will tell Lord Cheng everything that was said here." After saying that, the guards of the yamen quickly fled.

Zhang Zhi stood up suddenly, "Do you think I'm afraid of Cheng Wusi? That old blockhead! Tell him to get some sun when he's free. If he gets a little tan, no one will say he's the biggest idiot in Kyoto!"

Only when the yamen runner’s back disappeared did Zhang Zhi glance sideways and say, “Wu Wei.”

A young boy of about eleven or twelve came out from behind and said, "Prince."

"Take Dahei with you to play."

Mingli was stunned. Dahei? This cat is pure white, not to mention black hair, there is not even a stain. How could it be called Dahei?
"Yes." Wuwei took Dahei, then waved his hand, and all the guards of the Marquis' Mansion followed him away.

Shancha also received Mingli's hint and withdrew.

Zhang Zhi put away his dandy airs, bent down, and helped Mingli up with one hand. Mingli followed him up, feeling a little uneasy.

"You are the one who wiped out the Zhou family."

Not a question, but an affirmation.

Zhang Zhi kicked Zhou Shu, who had been dead for a long time, and laughed nonchalantly, "Second Miss Ming is so courageous. A steel needle pierced through her head, and it was bloody. It scared me to death."

Mingli's eyes narrowed. Did he see it?

Did he see himself killing someone, or did he see his sister's corpse?
At this moment, the steel needle was hidden in her sleeve, and she was confident that she could kill him with one strike. Because once Zhang Zhi told this, the Kyoto government would directly convict him.

She couldn't die, at least not now.

To cut the grass you must remove the roots; only the dead will not speak.

She smiled slightly: "What steel needle? What head? I don't understand what the prince said." She moved her right hand slightly and was about to attack.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed her wrist.

Mingli raised her eyes suddenly and tried to shake him off subconsciously, but Zhang Zhi was much stronger than her.

The boy's pupils were deep, black with a hint of dark purple, making him look even more charming. He smiled, and his hands were very strong, as if he wanted to crush Mingli's bones.

"Girls should be more delicate. Snake venom, steel needles, daggers, those are all life-threatening objects, too dangerous." Zhang Zhi said with a smile.

Mingli's heart sank. He really saw everything.

How to kill him, with a knife or poison?
It's still poison.

His fingers were on her pulse, and he could clearly feel her heartbeat speeding up, and the temperature of his palms slowly became hot. As expected, she was still a girl. Even if she pretended to be tough on the surface, her heart was still in chaos. Zhang Zhi let go and smiled triumphantly.

"Mingli, what are you afraid of?"

Zhang Zhi is always laughing, and his laughter makes people feel uneasy, creepy, and sends chills down their spines.

"Are you afraid that I will expose you?" Zhang Zhi approached her and said with a smile, "If I wanted to expose you, I would not have saved you just now. Believe it or not, after a few tortures, even if you didn't kill the person, it must be you who did it."

Mingli looked at him coldly.

What he said is true.

She finally understood that in Kyoto Prefecture's trial, human life was the least important thing in the case.

She couldn't die, at least not now.

Seeing her silence, Zhang Zhi's smile deepened: "Not speaking? Does that mean you agree?"

"I can swear that."

Ming Li's face was calm: "If I have anything to do with the Zhou family's murder, my parents will die, my family will be in turmoil, and my entire clan will be wiped out."

Zhang Zhi chuckled. It seemed as if he was going to force Ming Li to admit it today. "You are not sincere at all. Everyone in Kyoto knows that your mother Wen Wan died young, your father Ming Boyuan and mistress Meng treated you harshly, and the several dog-headed and ghost-faced elders in your family are all blood-sucking bugs attached to you. So, let me swear a poisonous oath instead."

Mingli: “.”

This smiling tiger is really difficult to deal with.

She raised her right hand, her expression serious: "God, if I say even a single word of falsehood, I will make you die without a burial."

Zhang Zhi took a step forward and covered Mingli's mouth tightly. He looked aggrieved: "I just saved you."

"Yes."

Mingli pulled Zhang Zhi's hand off and said, "So I am extremely grateful to you, my lord. I swear on your life and property to show that my words are true and I have said nothing false."

Zhang Zhi was stunned: "You"

"It's just a joke, just enjoy it, my lord."

Mingli smiled calmly, she stepped on Zhou Shu's palm and walked to the side, "I killed Zhou Shu, and I also destroyed the Yong'an Marquis Mansion. The Zhou family treated their servants harshly, and all the guards in the mansion were indebted to me. They helped me kill people, and I gave them indentures and money from the An family, which was very fair."

Zhang Zhi is a very cunning person, and he is two-faced. It is best not to make him your enemy. Pretending to be honest may be a way out.

A person like him would not do useless things. Since he chose to save others, he must have what he wants.

Mingli raised her eyes and looked at Zhang Zhi with her starry eyes: "I have nothing and no money to give you. Otherwise, I will give you my body?"

Zhang Zhi was surprised again: "Huh?"

"I will accompany you for one night, and after one night, I will forget everything I have seen and heard today. How about that?"

Anyway, this guy is impotent, so what's the harm in giving him a night? He's just occupying the toilet without taking a shit.

Zhang Zhi swallowed his saliva: "My..."

Mingli continued, "If I unfortunately get pregnant after one night, I will take safflower to induce an abortion. Of course, the money during this period will be paid in half between the prince and me."

"But if you want to keep the child, the prince will be responsible for all the money during the pregnancy. In addition, you need to pay another ten thousand to take the child away. I can swear on my life that after the child is born, we will never see each other again in this life."

She couldn't say he was impotent in front of others, right? She knew that it was important to leave a way out for the future.

Mingli spoke frankly, but Zhang Zhi opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word for a long time.

"Be polite." Zhang Zhi laughed and looked her up and down: "Are you a money-grubber?"
