Chapter 53 Is there any more royal law?
Jiang Zhiyu's face was pale, with a determined light in her eyes. She bit her lower lip tightly, refusing to succumb to the fate. Just as Mr. Jiang was about to hand her hand to Zhu Zhen, suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence in the hall.
"Wait!" With a clear and sharp shout, Liu Mengmeng, Xiao Wen, Qi Zimo, Zhang Anjie, Zou Ting, Liao Zhen, Xu Guokun, Hu Jiahong, and Kang Yining stood in the hall. They were dressed in gorgeous clothes, each with their own unique temperament and angry expressions, all watching this farce with rage.
"What? Are you going to forcibly seize this girl?" Liu Mengmeng stared at Zhu Zhen coldly, her tone full of anger.
Zhu Zhen was stunned, then sneered: "You are not married yet, how dare you, a little girl, interfere in other people's housework like this? Jiang Zhiyu has been my fiancée for a long time. What's wrong with me taking her home today?"
"Fiancée? Are you kidding? Jiang Zhiyu did not agree to this marriage. If you take her away by force, aren't you going against her wishes?" Xiao Wen stepped forward and said righteously.
The two sides immediately fell into a heated argument, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. The servants brought by Zhu Zhen confronted Liu Mengmeng and others, and the situation was about to explode.
"If you are really a man, you should compete fairly. Why do you have to use such means?" Qi Zimo asked loudly.
A trace of anger flashed in Zhu Zhen's eyes, but he quickly suppressed his emotions and sneered, "Fair competition? Ha, do you think there is really fairness in this world? Since you all want to obstruct me, don't blame me for being rude."
After that, Zhu Zhen waved his hand, and the servants immediately rushed towards Liu Mengmeng and others. The two sides started a fierce tug of war, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
"You dare!" A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Liu Mengmeng's eyes. She held Jiang Zhiyu's hand tightly and vowed to protect her.
Zhu Zhen sneered and tried to snatch Jiang Zhiyu from Liu Mengmeng. However, Liu Mengmeng and others united as one and tried their best to resist. The two sides were evenly matched and the situation was deadlocked.
"If you do this, more people will see your true colors," Zhang Anjie said loudly.
Zhu Zhen's eyes flashed with panic, but he quickly calmed down and sneered, "Do you think you can stop me like this? There is nothing that I, Zhu Zhen, cannot get."
At this moment, Jiang Zhiyu suddenly broke free from Liu Mengmeng's hand. She looked at Zhu Zhen firmly and said loudly, "I, Jiang Zhiyu, would rather die than surrender. I will never become your wife!"
Zhu Zhen was stunned. He didn't expect Jiang Zhiyu to be so determined. A trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes. He was about to take Jiang Zhiyu away by force. Suddenly, a sharp sword light cut through the darkness in the hall.
"Just try and touch her if you dare!" With a loud shout, a figure came flying, with a sword shining like a thread, pointing directly at Zhu Zhen.
The man was Kang Yining, his eyes were full of anger, and the cold light on the tip of his sword made Zhu Zhen take a step back. Seeing this, Liu Mengmeng and others drew their swords and surrounded Zhu Zhen and others.
"If you dare to mess around again, we will let you see how powerful we are!" Liu Mengmeng said coldly.
Zhu Zhen didn't care at all and laughed arrogantly: "Nonsense? Jiang Zhiyu, she is destined to be mine, no one can change it!"
After saying that, Zhu Zhen increased his strength, trying to break Jiang Zhiyu free from Liu Mengmeng's hands.
At this time, Qi Zimo, Zhang Anjie, Zou Ting, Liao Zhen, Xu Guokun, Hu Jiahong, and Kang Yining rushed forward again and started a fierce melee with the servants. Although they were not many in number, each of them had extraordinary martial arts, and for a while, the servants could not get close.
"Zhu Zhen, you are going too far!" Liu Mengmeng's eyes flashed with anger. She knew that if today's matter was not resolved, there would be endless troubles in the future.
Zhu Zhen snorted coldly: "Liu Mengmeng, do you think you can stop me? You are just a bunch of rabble!"
At this moment, a servant suddenly broke into the battle, holding a sharp sword in his hand, and rushed straight towards Jiang Zhiyu. Seeing the critical situation, Liu Mengmeng immediately let go of Jiang Zhiyu and stood in front of her. The sword pierced Liu Mengmeng's shoulder, and blood immediately stained her clothes red.
"Mengmeng!" Jiang Zhiyu screamed and wanted to go forward to help, but was held tightly by Qi Zimo.
"Zhi Yu, don't worry, we will definitely protect you!" Qi Zimo's eyes were firm. He knew that he couldn't let Jiang Zhiyu take risks at this moment.
Liu Mengmeng covered her wound and stood up with gritted teeth: "Do you think you can succeed by hurting me? Dream on!"
Zhu Zhen's eyes flashed with surprise. He didn't expect Liu Mengmeng to be so tenacious. But he quickly regained his composure and said with a grim smile: "In that case, let you be buried together!"
Looking at this scene, Old Master Jiang was so frightened that he lost his mind and collapsed on the ground.
Jiang Shuyuan watched from afar and gloated over it.
Zhu Zhen sneered, a cruel light flashed in his eyes. He waved his hand, and a group of servants behind him immediately rushed forward and started a fierce tug of war with Liu Mengmeng and others.
"You useless pieces of shit, how dare you resist!" Zhu Zhen's voice was as hoarse as a rag. He commanded the servants to try to subdue Liu Mengmeng and the others.
There was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides. Although Liu Mengmeng and others were brave, they still had a hard time facing Zhu Zhen's servants.
At this time, Shangguan Zhengming led the officials of the Imperial College to the scene. They looked at the scene in front of them and were shocked.
"What's going on?!" Shangguan Zhengming roared.
Shangguan Zhengming's voice was like thunder, instantly shocking everyone present. He stared at Zhu Zhen with a glare, his face full of anger as if he wanted to burn him.
Liu Mengmeng and others were overjoyed to see Shangguan Zhengming coming. They knew that the crisis was finally going to turn around.
Shangguan Zhengming's voice was still echoing in his ears. The officials of the Imperial College hurried over, each with a serious look on their faces. The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Shangguan Zhengming stepped forward with a stern look. He stretched out his right hand, swung it violently, and shouted: "Zhu Zhen, you dare to rob a woman in broad daylight. Do you still have the law in your eyes? You are a student of our Imperial College!"
Zhu Zhen raised his head and looked at Shangguan Zhengming with contempt: "What a shitty Imperial College, you treat me like this, aren't you afraid of retaliation from the forces behind me?"
Shangguan Zhengming smiled calmly and said, "Zhu Zhen, do you think I am afraid of your revenge? As the director of the Imperial College, my duty is to uphold the law and order. As long as I act fairly, I am not afraid of anyone's revenge. Today, I just want to let you know that those who violate the law will never have a good end."
Zhu Zhen's originally smug look instantly turned into fear under Shangguan Zhengming's roar. He understood that he had caused a big trouble this time. Shangguan Zhengming was the abbot of the Imperial College and had tremendous power. How could he be his opponent?
"Zhu Zhen, do you admit your guilt?" Shangguan Zhengming shouted in a deep voice.
