Wen Qiheng spoke calmly and composedly, and after finishing his speech, he also planned to leave the Wen residence for the Prime Minister's office.
In the past, when Shen Jinchen pushed a bunch of troublesome things onto him, he would complain. But now his thinking is different. He needs power. Only with power can he completely suppress the restless woman in his family.
Therefore, he had to work hard to get the position he wanted, and this time Shen Jinchen asked him to help him, which was exactly what he wanted. The position of prime minister would be his in the future.
"You're leaving already? You're really not going to look for it anymore?"
After wiping away her flustered tears, Wen's mother looked somewhat bewildered.
"Do you remember how he escaped when he ran away from his wedding last time? Now he's either a beggar or wandering around dressed as a woman. We, the Wen family, probably won't be able to find him even if we go all the way to Miao territory. Don't waste your time."
Wen Qiheng said this and turned to leave.
Wen's mother stood up, wanting to stop him and ask him to think of another way, but when she thought of Wen Qiyu's unconventional nature, she could only give up.
Wen Qiyu, that playboy, was right; his older brother had predicted it all. Right now, he was actually disguised as a woman and following another woman.
This person was someone he knew; he had seen her in Shangyang City, and her name seemed to be Zhu Yanniang.
The woman was acting suspiciously in a place called Yude Town, asking if any men there abused their wives.
Those people she questioned were all tied up in a dilapidated temple within three to five days, poisoned, and then their bodies burned.
This caused quite a stir in the surrounding counties.
She soon discovered that many police officers were following her, and it was only because of her superior martial arts skills that she was not caught on the spot.
Wen Qiyu thought she would have an easy time all the way to Miao territory, but she didn't expect that just 300 miles away from the capital, in a bamboo forest, Shao Yu, a famous case-solving expert from the capital, would catch up with her.
Wen Qiyu hid in a tree hole, watching the spectacle unfold.
Then Shao Yu let out a loud roar:
"It's you again! Let's see who can save you today. Don't think that just because you have a relationship with the Princess, I can't punish you. Today, I will execute you on the spot."
"Hmph! You bastard who aids and abets evil, do you think I'm afraid of you? Come on, I'm itching for a fight, I can take my anger out on you."
Zhu Yanniang glared at the persistent, corrupt official, scoffed, and drew her sword to fight.
She knew that the person in front of her might be more skilled in martial arts than her, but she wasn't afraid; she had thought it through when she left the capital.
She decided not to bother Cen Xi and Jun Jianchou anymore; she would keep her love buried in her heart and not cause them any more trouble.
But after leaving the capital, she still couldn't help but take revenge on those scoundrels for all they did. She just didn't want those scoundrels to take advantage of her anymore.
So she picked up the butcher's knife directly. She knew it was illegal, but if she could live freely at the end of her life, she was willing to do so.
As long as women who are mistreated by those awful men can have an easier time, that's fine.
"Stubborn fool, take this!"
Shao Yu had always been a righteous and incorruptible Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. He had studied both literature and martial arts, hoping to punish evil and promote good. This was the first time he had ever encountered such an incorrigible witch, so he was determined to bring her to justice.
"The people I killed didn't even care about their wives, and they formed cliques and were of despicable character. How could I have done anything wrong that you lackeys would keep pressuring me like this?"
Zhu Yanniang knew she was likely no match for the opponent, so she decided to try to win their hearts and minds.
Besides, what she said was true. Those people had all sorts of bad deeds and deserved to die. What did she do wrong?
"The net of heaven is vast, and though its meshes are wide, nothing escapes it. Even if those people committed crimes, they should be punished by the Great Banquet Law, not by you, the sect leader of the Su Nu Sect. Zhu Yan Niang, what you are doing is indiscriminate killing of innocent people."
Shao Yu glared at her coldly, his every move ruthless, each strike revealing his anger at this woman's challenge to justice.
"Indiscriminate killing? I think this sir has ruined the word 'sir.' If I were to indiscriminately kill innocent people, I would gladly surrender and let you cut off my head and use it as a football."
Zhu Yanniang chuckled and used her inner strength to hide deep within the bamboo forest.
If her martial arts skills were even slightly better, she would definitely tear this arrogant Minister of Justice down and chop him into mincemeat.
"Do you know how many of the people you killed could have contributed to the court? And how many of them would not tolerate being challenged? You wicked woman, you still show no remorse."
Shao Yu was so angry at this woman that his heart ached. Nowadays, who doesn't have three wives and four concubines, surrounded by beautiful women? This jealous woman killed someone over such a trivial matter. She was truly rampant and terrifying.
If he doesn't bring this woman to justice today, how can he tell outsiders that he is the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, dedicated to upholding justice for others?
Yes! Some of those she killed had flaws to varying degrees, but how could she possibly know how much they had contributed to the court? Besides, those minor flaws weren't grounds for death. Why did they become victims of this witch's blade?
"I don't know what's wrong with provoking these bastards, these human trash. To put it bluntly, you officials are just protecting each other, greedy and shameless. That's why you're so angry. What right do you have to arrest me, you piece of trash?"
Zhu Yanniang was unyielding in both words and actions. So what if she couldn't win today? At least she had her fill of verbal abuse.
In this life, it's enough to have some people who treat you sincerely.
In their two encounters, Shao Yu clearly felt that this time was more difficult. The woman in front of him was acting like a madwoman, disregarding her own life; every sword strike was difficult for him to defend against, and she was caught off guard.
Even though Zhu Yanniang is now seriously injured, he still hasn't gotten away with it.
His heart suddenly roared:
"You damned woman, aren't you afraid of death?"
"What's so scary about death? Why are you chickening out? It's better if you are, then I'll make you die quickly."
After making a sarcastic remark, Zhu Yanniang launched an attack that would result in mutual destruction.
Even if she dies today, she will crush this self-righteous, corrupt official.
"dream!"
Seeing that the opponent was unleashing a powerful attack, Shao Yu, not wanting to die, used his sect's unique secret technique to circle around behind Zhu Yanniang. He then channeled all his inner strength, intending to kill Zhu Yanniang on the spot.
Just then, Wen Qiyu, who was inside the tree hole, suddenly released the mist snake in his hand, which spat out a circle of venom, causing the two fighters to collapse to the ground.
After doing all this, he chuckled and appeared before the two of them, sporting a fluffy woman's outfit:
"Oh dear! We're all acquaintances. I can't stand it if either of you hurts the other, so I have no choice but to unleash my little darling to interfere with you."
"I said, is this really necessary? Shao Yu, when you're handling cases, you should just handle cases, but don't just arrest people indiscriminately, right? Besides, even if you arrest people, why take their lives? You're not that old, so why are you so violent? And the person this lady killed deserved to die anyway, why are you making such a big deal out of it?"
