Chapter 1436

After all, this battle concerns his own life and death.

If victorious, there is a possibility of gaining immense benefits.

But if defeated, there is only the path of death.

The Ning family has been slaughtered to the last.

Such a blow is enough to destroy a city.

At this moment, countless people have gathered outside the Ning family residence.

And those who were captured by the Ning family are also standing on both sides of the crowd.

This scene can be described as utterly shocking.

The faces of the Ning family members showed expressions of terror.

They never expected that the Han Dynasty high officials would actually breach the Ning family.

Not only them, but even the Deputy Commander of the Chengwei Army on the city wall, at this moment, also had a face full of terror.

He now wished he were nothing but air.

He hoped Liu Zheng would not see him.

And at this time, Did Ning Chen was bound upon the city wall.

He shouted with a face full of panic.

"Han Emperor, you dare to slaughter my Ning family; you will surely face heavenly retribution!"

His voice was filled with ferocity.

At this moment, he had forgotten.

That his ancestors, back then, had also forced those innocent people in the same way.

And just at this moment, Liu Zheng's figure appeared within his line of sight.

"Han Emperor, may you die a wretched death!"

Did Ning Chen roared in a mournful and shrill voice.

He believed Liu Zheng had come to kill him.

It was just, right after his words had barely fallen.

Liu Zheng's cold voice was heard.

"Did Ning Chen, from the moment you and your father, for the sake of a mere few gold coins,

harmed ordinary commoners,

today's outcome was destined.

Whether it is you or the Ning family, you are heavily sinful!"

After his words fell, the surrounding crowd could not help but have their pupils shrink.

They did not expect.

That the ancestor of the Ning family would actually do such a thing.

And just at this moment, Liu Zheng spoke again.

"Do you know what kind of people are buried in the Ning family ancestral grave?"

After his words fell, everyone around shook their heads.

This matter, unless one digs it up personally, is impossible to know.

"Tell me, did your Ning family capture many slaves back then!"

Liu Zheng's voice continued to ring out.

And upon hearing the voice, that Deputy Commander could not help but be stunned.

Immediately after, he spoke.

"Your Majesty, the Ning family is a generation of heroes; they captured slaves also because there was a Pill Refiner in the Ning clan.

This Pill Refiner specialized in using these slaves to refine pills.

It is not just our Han Dynasty that has slaves; all across the Nine Provinces, such people are everywhere!"

"Hmph, the Ning family has a big nerve, actually daring to traffic in slaves!"

Liu Zheng shouted coldly.

Then, he issued an order.

"Take all these people into custody and send them to the Heavenly Prison.

I want to see how the Ning family will deny it!"

After his words fell, he walked down from the city wall.

The current Ning family is completely surrounded by the great army.

Those servants and guards had already been slain.

And the remaining people knelt on the ground, constantly begging for mercy.

However, Liu Zheng paid no attention whatsoever.

In his eyes, a trace of ruthlessness even appeared.

If they are not punished,

I fear that in the future, they will act even more recklessly.

Therefore, the best method is to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

And at this time, the Han Dynasty high officials had also gathered in the council hall.

They all wanted to know what kind of person this system tasker summoned by Liu Zheng was.

After all, if he is too weak, I fear it will be difficult to complete the task.

At that very moment, a young woman walked into the room.

She spoke to the crowd.

"Greetings, Generals!"

Hearing the voice, everyone turned to look.

They discovered that the newcomer was none other than Miss Hongxiu.

This was the result of Miss Hongxiu cultivating the technique with Liu Zheng's help.

She had not yet reached the Divine Monarch realm

But her strength was not bad.

Especially, her physical constitution was extremely strong.

Even against a martial artist of the third level of the Divine King, she could match them.

"Why have you returned? What did Your Majesty order you to do!"

Yuchi Gong asked in confusion.

"Your Majesty ordered me to investigate certain matters.

By nightfall, you will understand!"

Hearing the voice, the others nodded.

Then, Yuchi Gong withdrew.

Just as they were conversing,

within the Ning family mansion, a look of madness flashed in Ning Chen's eyes.

He was waiting.

Waiting for Liu Zheng to arrive.

Once the other party entered the mansion, his son Ning Yifeng would strike.

However, the Ning family estate at this moment was utterly silent.

It seemed they felt no danger whatsoever.

Meanwhile, Ning Yifeng was bound within the main hall.

At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot red.

His heart was filled with immense regret.

If he had not been greedy for the Qian Cai in Ning Chen's hands back then,

how could today's disaster have occurred?

But now, it was too late to say anything.
