Lord Zheng angrily said, "What is Madam doing? How dare you beat a bailiff in front of me?"
Qu Shuangyue said calmly, "What assault on a constable? I didn't do anything!"
"Oh, you mean his fingers? Don't blame me, blame his fingers for being too soft and not pinching them gently enough."
After she finished speaking, she looked at her own hand, then glanced at Lord Zheng's hand, and Lord Zheng immediately withdrew his hand.
She smiled slightly and said, "These hands of mine are usually used for pinching bones, and I was definitely not beating him. Please see the truth, sir."
City Lord Zheng: "..."
The constable: "…………"
His bones are all healed!
They finally understood why Lin Xiuyan was so difficult to deal with; it turned out she had such a troublesome mother!
Everyone saw that Qu Shuangyue's expression was extremely bad, but because they felt guilty, they didn't dare to refute her.
Qu Shuangyue looked at them and said, "Why are you all staring at me? Am I interrogating a case?"
Lord Zheng's face was extremely ugly, and he felt as if he were being slapped in the face and pinned to the ground.
He dared not let anyone make any more moves, so he had someone splash water on the assassin to wake him up.
Lin Xiuyan said calmly, "It's too much trouble to wake him up by splashing him."
After she finished speaking, she raised her foot and stomped heavily on the assassin's hand.
The assassin woke up immediately.
City Lord Zheng: "!!!!!!!"
The constables: "!!!!!!!!!!"
Lin Xiuyan ignored them and looked at the assassin, asking, "Who sent you to kill me?"
The hypnosis she had used on the assassin hadn't completely worn off yet, and he murmured, "It's Young Master Zhou."
Lin Xiuyan asked again, "Which Young Master Zhou?"
The assassin replied, "Zhou Shuyi."
Lin Xiuyan looked at City Lord Zheng and said, "Alright, we have both witnesses and evidence. Your Excellency can go to the Zhou residence to arrest the person."
Lord Zheng was usually ruthless and cruel, but he had never seen such a simple and brutal way of doing things as Lin Xiuyan.
He was also conflicted at this moment. If he arrested Zhou Shuyi now, it wouldn't be as easy to release him as before.
When the Princess Consort of Pingnan comes looking for him, he'll probably be in big trouble.
He coughed lightly and said, "I think this man is not fully awake yet, so his testimony cannot be taken seriously."
"Princess Consort, why don't we wait a little longer and wait until he is fully awake before we talk about it?"
Lin Xiuyan knew his intentions all too well, and she gave him a cold look.
Lord Zheng pretended not to see it and went through the motions of sending someone to fetch a doctor to treat the assassin's wounds.
He knew the assassin was nearing his end and would die if he lingered any longer. The constables below him were also well aware of his thoughts and spent a good half hour fetching a doctor.
When the doctor arrived, the assassin had already died.
Lin Xiuyan looked at Lord Zheng with a half-smile, while Lord Zheng pretended to scold the doctor for being incompetent and unable to save the witness.
After he finished cursing, he said to Lin Xiuyan, "It's not that I don't want to handle this case for the Crown Princess."
"But now the witness is dead, and his testimony was given while he was unconscious, so it cannot be taken as evidence."
"I know that the Crown Princess and Zhou Shuyi have some past grievances, but without evidence, he cannot be convicted." (Biquge)
He looked at Lin Xiuyan with a smile and asked, "Does the Crown Princess have any other evidence?"
Before Lin Xiuyan could speak, Qu Shuangyue was about to use her as a weapon again: "He made his words so clearly just now, yet you say they can't be used as evidence."
"How much did that guy surnamed Zhou give you, and you're still siding with him like this?"
The people behind her echoed, "That's right, we all heard it just now, it was Zhou Shuyi who sent people to commit violence in the street!"
Lord Zheng completely disregarded their protests.
He said calmly, "I am acting in accordance with the laws of our dynasty."
"To prevent wrongful convictions, all evidence must be reliable."
“The witness was seriously injured and was clearly in an unconscious state. Such testimony cannot be used as evidence in court.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Xiuyan and said, "As for the Crown Princess, she killed so many people in the street. I'm afraid she has to give me an explanation."
When Qu Shuangyue heard his words, she really wanted to chop his head off.
That son of a bitch, lying through his teeth like that, doesn't he have any shame?
She was about to make a move, but Lin Xiuyan grabbed her hand and shook her head slightly. She glared fiercely at Lord Zheng, but he pretended not to see it.
Lin Xiuyan said calmly, "What kind of explanation do you want? They ambushed me while their faces were covered, and many people saw it."
"I was merely acting in self-defense, which is in accordance with the laws of our dynasty. Does Lord Zheng need me to recite it to you?"
When Lord Zheng asked her this question, he originally thought she was ignorant and didn't understand the law, and wanted to scare her.
He hadn't expected her to be familiar with the law, and shamelessly said, "No need."
"I only wanted to test the Crown Princess. She is intelligent and quick-witted, a blessing to Liefeng Prefecture."
Lin Xiuyan thought his skin was so thick it could be boiled in a pot.
She smiled slightly and said, "In that case, does that mean you acknowledge that someone wants to kill me?"
"If you believe that the killer's testimony cannot be used as evidence, please find the real murderer as soon as possible."
Lord Zheng hurriedly replied, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will have someone thoroughly investigate this case and find the murderer as soon as possible."
Lin Xiuyan ignored his words, treating them as nonsense.
She looked at him and said, "Let me confirm with the sir again. A person who is about to die can be diagnosed as being mentally unstable."
"Their words cannot be used as evidence, is that right?"
Lord Zheng nodded and said, "Yes."
He had a bad feeling, but since he had already said those words, he had to bite the bullet and agree.
Lin Xiuyan smiled: "Last time, the adults said that we cannot make subjective judgments about things, and we can only file a case if we need to objectively acknowledge something."
"Do adults still agree with this rule?"
Remembering the wound on his head, Lord Zheng immediately hid behind the constables and asked warily, "What does the Crown Princess intend to do?"
Lin Xiuyan said calmly, "I'm just confirming with the adults whether you still acknowledge this matter. You don't need to be too nervous."
Lord Zheng was filled with thoughts, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "Of course I admit it."
A smile appeared in Lin Xiuyan's eyes: "Very good, your words are enough."
"Mother, we must trust that Lord Zheng can investigate this case thoroughly. Let's go back and wait for news."
Qu Shuangyue was somewhat indignant that she had let the matter pass so easily.
She asked Lin Xiuyan, "This corrupt official is clearly talking nonsense. This matter cannot be left like this!"
Lin Xiuyan tugged at her sleeve and said, "Mother, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Let's go!"
Qu Shuangyue was furious, but she also knew that Lin Xiuyan had never been one to put up with being bullied.
She must have her reasons for saying that.
