Qi Lang was confused. After a moment's silence, he said: "According to the law of the State of Ning, I will punish him fifty rods and give the injured man a certain amount of money."
A faint smile appeared on Yun Shang's face when she heard his words and looked at Qi Yuzhi. She turned to look at the trembling butler before she lowered her head and asked, "Oh? According to my secret guard, Mister Qi hurt Mister Li in the west of the city at noon. What should we do with him, General Qi?"
Upon hearing that, Qi Lang trembled with his hands clenched into fists. A touch of cruelty painted across his face. However, Yun Shang didn't seem to see it. She kept smiling and turned to the fish in the pond. "It's a tradition. Prince Jing and I also will be punished if we do something wrong. Prince Jing often mentioned about you, General. He said the General has a good reputation here. The reward and punishment are distinct. As we entered the KY City today, I saw people admire you. I guess you won't let us down, will you? "
No one answered for a long time, but Yun Shang didn't hurry and sat still.
"Of course. Whether the law is disciplined or not, and whether the people are decent or not, I will follow the law." Qi Lang said in forbearance.
As soon as the words were spoken, Yun Shang heard Qi Yuzhi call out to his father from his gritted teeth, "father."
Qi Lang glared fiercely at Qi Yuzhi and knelt down respectfully with a pale face.
Yun Shang turned around and glanced at the veins on his forehead. She wanted to laugh, but she managed to force a smile. "General Qi, just as his highness said, there is a clear distinction between rewards and punishments. In that case, I won't delay General Qi's work. It seems that the Li family are waiting for General Qi in the front hall. " As she spoke, Yun Shang glanced at the butler. He was obviously shocked. Then Yun Shang stood up and went back to the Chrysanthemum Yard with Qian Yin's support.
"Your highness, why did you demand General Qi to hit his son so hard? Will General Qi betray you because of this? Now we still live in General Qi's Mansion, what if we provoke the people of the Qi family and they take action against us? As the saying goes, a strong dragon is difficult to deal with a local villain." Qian Yin couldn't help but worry when she recalled the looks of General Qi and Mister Qi.
Yun Shang looked calm and she shook her head with a slight smile. "Since I have asked for an imperial edict and come to the KY City, I can't pretend to be weak and harmless. The gentler I am, the less respect I get from him. I'm afraid that he won't take me seriously when the army of the State of Xia come."
She heaved a sigh and said, "I did this to let Qi Lang know that I'm not as weak as the rumor said. Even if I was under his eyes, I still have my way to monitor everything in this city. In this way, he will definitely be somewhat afraid of me. With my identity, he may not care that I am a princess, but that I have Prince Jing behind me. In this case, even if he wants to play a show, he has to try his best to make it real. He doesn't want me to find his fault, and at that time, he will definitely let me do the duty of inspector. He will just try to make things difficult for me. All I need to do is to avoid the trap he set, and I will really reach the battlefield..."
Looking at the lines on the table, Yun Shang was in a trance. Who said the rough men who only knew about war didn't know how to detox? They were as scheming as those shrewish women in the Imperial City who fell into their schemes.
