The green-robed servant saw Lu Pingliang's attitude changed drastically. He was now full of anger. And his master was even more dumbfounded. He originally thought that these few people that were with Old Man Wang and the other poor people would at most be the servants of some rich family in charge of the house. However, he didn't expect them to be from the Prince's Mansion.

”Prefect, I just heard you say that you wanted to beat my subordinates?” Luo Lingwei sat in front of the hall with her arms crossed and sneered at Lu Pingliang.

Lu Pingliang could only smile apologetically. ”Esteemed wangfei, it's all a misunderstanding.”

Luo Lingwei ignored him, instead pointing at the middle-aged man who was sweating profusely: ”Who do you think you are? Since you're the plaintiff, why don't you just kneel in front of me? Do you dare to sit on equal footing with me?”

Hearing this, the man scrambled to his knees in front of Luo Lingwei, kowtowing and begging for forgiveness.

”This commoner is a local squire called Lu Ping. This commoner knows his crimes and begs for mercy, Empress!” At the same time, old man Wang also quietly told Lil 'White about this person's background.

It turned out that after Lu Pingliang left, his younger brother Lu Ping also came to the Ming Lin manor. Lu Pingliang was born into a businessman's family. After Lu Pingliang became an official, his family's business was handed over to Lu Ping to manage. With the power of his brother, the prefect of Ming Lin prefecture, he had monopolized a lot of businesses.

However, it was this local tyrant who was kneeling in front of Luo Lingwei, a seemingly delicate and weak woman. He didn't even dare to let out a breath, letting the spectators feel relieved.

”All of you, get up. Zhao Wei, all of you get up as well.” Luo Lingwei waved her hand.

At this moment, Zhao Wei was no longer thinking about this farce, but thinking about how to get out of it quickly. Otherwise, if the news of Luo Lingwei's presence in the Ming Lin Manor were to spread to others, it would inevitably lead to a bloody scene.

”Esteemed wangfei, these people are the original defendants in this case. Letting them stand in court, this …” Lu Pingliang was embarrassed, but he still wanted to keep the last bit of his prestige as a court official.

Luo Lingwei slapped the chair and shouted, ”Impudent! Could it be that you want your emperor's appointed general to kneel in front of you and let you beat him up?”

At this time, Zhao Wei's heart was even more alarmed. Luo Lingwei had already exposed her identity, so it seemed like she had to leave this dangerous place soon. It would be best if she left today.
