Chapter 089 What a Villain Should Look Like

Liu Yan had already prepared himself to face a violent temper, but he did not expect that the Sixth Prince's expression was very calm and his actions were very cooperative.

How could he know that for Qin Zhaoyue, getting up at midnight was no big deal at all.

My biological clock has been set for more than ten years, and I didn’t sleep at all at that time. It is fundamentally different from waking up at three or four in the morning.

Sui Mo was pretending on the bed, and before leaving, he glared at Liu Yan fiercely.

Even if the other party was a captain of the Xuanji Guard or a strong man in the Divine Martial Realm, his eyes were as sharp as a knife and full of warning.

Liu Yan turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it.

It's all Yaoguang's fault for spreading rumors! His reputation has been damaged. How could he still dare to disrespect the princess?

An invisible "force" enveloped him. Liu Yan gently supported Qin Zhaoyue's forearm and left the house in a few flashes.

Qin Zhaoyue pursed her lips, her heart beating wildly: This is the Divine Martial Realm, it's too powerful!

If she had this much power, would little Sui Mo dare to talk back to her? Could the maids be on guard against her while they were cleaning?

But when I think of Liu Yan's reputation, I'm afraid this old guy has done a lot of these things...

At this time, Liu Yan was very aware of his surroundings and noticed the strange look the princess next to him was giving him.

"What's wrong, Your Highness?"

"Tsk...it's okay, don't get involved."

Flowing Flame: ...

Even with the Divine Martial Realm taking action, and Liu Yan being the one who excelled at speed, it felt like they arrived at the County Magistrate's residence in the blink of an eye.

This was Qin Zhaoyue’s first time here. The three-story house was neither poor nor luxurious, but it was quite standard.

At this time, there is still light in the main house in the backyard.

In the bedroom, there were three dishes on the table in front of Zhou Yanqing, and he was drinking by himself.

But there was a wine glass opposite him, and he didn't look like he was waiting for anyone.

The door was pushed open at this moment. Zhou Yanqing frowned, feeling resentful. He was becoming more and more ignorant of the rules.

He raised his eyes to scold her, but his eyes widened and he gasped, "This..."

Qin Zhaoyue had his hands in his pockets, a sarcastic look on his face, and a faint sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

She naturally also sensed the situation in the house. Two wine glasses, if it wasn't a banquet, then it was naturally just a memorial service.

I don’t know whether it was a tribute to his former mentor, or to Constable Jiang, who was “sent to hell” by him personally.

Zhou Yanqing didn't come back to his senses until the door was closed again. He didn't even notice that some of the wine he picked up had spilled from the wine glass and wet his sleeves.

"County Magistrate Zhou has a refined taste."

The moment Qin Zhaoyue opened his mouth, Zhou Yanqing subconsciously glanced out the window, with an uncontrollable look of fear on his face.

Liu Yan chuckled, "Don't worry, County Magistrate. The old housekeeper is sleeping soundly and won't wake up."

His chest was heaving violently, and Zhou Yanqing knew that he was in complete trouble this time.

He had been the object of much ridicule in the past few days, but now he was standing openly in his bedroom.

Who would have thought that this Sixth Prince was all in disguise?

He didn't act out any ignorant act of "I'm an ignorant official". He just sat there in a daze, looking a little dazed.

Qin Zhaoyue sat down opposite him and glanced at the wine glass in front of him. "I don't have time to argue with you. Come here quickly."

Seeing that he was still silent, Liu Yan took out the portrait from his arms and unfolded it in front of him.

Zhou Yanqing took a quick look and felt as if struck by lightning.

What's going on? They actually found this person!

I originally thought that it was Chiyan County that was exposed, but now it seems that is not the case?

Otherwise, only a few days have passed since the underground embankment in Mingyan County was built, so how could we follow the clues and find this person?

For a moment, his face turned pale and his heart was in turmoil.

"There's no need to struggle, County Magistrate Zhou. The evidence of the theft is irrefutable. You can't escape."

After a few breaths, Zhou Yanqing exhaled heavily, drank the wine in the glass, and poured himself another glass.

"I didn't know the Sixth Prince was so talented," he said, glancing at the man who was putting away the portrait. "Who is this?"

"Xuanji Guard Thousand Household, Liuyan."

Zhou Yanqing smiled bitterly and completely gave up.

Xuanji Wei, your Highness has heard everything, so is there any possibility of struggling?

But the more he thought about it, the calmer he became, and he drank it all in one gulp again.

"I wonder how I can be of assistance?"

"Let's talk about the man in the portrait first."

"I don't know." Zhou Yanqing answered decisively, as if he was waiting for the other party to ask so that he could flatly refuse.

Since it was a late night visit, he certainly didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

After all, he is a county magistrate. If something unexpected happens, it will definitely arouse vigilance, and it will not be so easy to investigate the case.

Oh, Qin Zhaoyue raised her eyebrows. Seeing the other person's calm look made her feel uncomfortable.

When I watched dramas before, the villains would jump all over the protagonist's face and jump around. Why would the protagonist keep him around? Kill him!

"If I remember correctly, County Magistrate Zhou has a pair of children studying in Fengjing, right?"

Zhou Yanqing raised his head upon hearing this, with a hint of thunder in his eyes.

He didn't expect that it was the Sixth Princess who threatened him, and in such a straightforward way.

"If I tell them, they will surely die; if I don't, they may still survive.

Sixth Prince, when the truth comes to light, I will present the stolen lists and account books, only asking for my children's survival."

Qin Zhaoyue smiled, "You're overthinking it. They won't live to see that day."

Zhou Yanqing narrowed his eyes and stared intently, "Your Highness, what do you mean by this? Are the Xuanji Guards and the imperial court planning to resort to lynching?"

Qin Zhaoyue's smile widened, and he pointed at himself.

"Do you want to take another look at who I am, the Sixth Princess? Killing two insignificant people is nothing."

"You won't tell me, will you? Tonight, a secret letter will travel eight hundred miles to the capital. Within seven days, you will receive the heads of your children. How about that?"

"you!"

Zhou Yanqing's eyes were wide open with anger, and he looked as ferocious as a devil. He was about to slam the table and stand up, but he found that his body was held down tightly and he couldn't move at all.

Looking at the opponent's broken defense, Qin Zhaoyue smiled like a flower, her fingers twirling the ends of her hair, and she felt much more relaxed.

Right, why bother playing the steady-as-a-dog role? This is what a villain should look like...

Masaka, is this the end?

No! ~~~
