Lin Xiuyan made a great commotion by banging gongs and drums all the way here.
In addition, she was dragging a cart full of corpses and pulling a wounded person whose fate was unknown, which was already extremely eye-catching.
Along the way, we have followed many ordinary people.
Many people recognized Lin Xiuyan and Ye Junfei from their last trial, and now that they saw Lin Xiuyan personally causing trouble at the government office, the public was outraged.
Over the years, Lord Zheng has managed Liefeng City, which, in essence, means:
They protect the rights of those in power, treating ordinary people like pigs and dogs; there is no justice whatsoever.
Over the years, many people have wanted to sue Lord Zheng, but have had no recourse.
However, any signs that the people might show were quickly suppressed.
Even the nobles in the Prince of Pingnan's mansion were biased towards Lord Zheng.
Last time, Ye Junfei slapped Lord Zheng in the face in front of the people, which earned him an excellent reputation.
They all felt that the young master and his wife in the royal palace seemed different from the other people in the palace.
The people have now discovered that even the Crown Princess of the prestigious Pingnan Prince's Mansion was assassinated; the perpetrators have no regard for the law.
After Lin Xiuyan finished beating the drum, the people spontaneously stood behind her, waving their fists and shouting, "Justice! Justice!"
Qu Shuangyue raised an eyebrow slightly when she saw this commotion. The reason was simple: she was very familiar with this scene!
This was the same scene when Lin Xiuyan caused trouble at the Lord's Mansion in Chongqing. (M.cascoo.net)
She asked Lin Xiuyan, "What are you trying to do? You're not expecting this wretched city lord to uphold justice for you, are you?"
"I heard it when I was in Chongqing: the city lord of Chongqing is a heartless and rotten man!"
Lin Xiuyan said calmly, "It's alright. I like this kind of heartless and rotten bastard the most. If he really wants to uphold justice, how am I supposed to perform my duties?"
Qu Shuangyue: "..."
She had always known that her daughter was not someone to be trifled with; every time Lin Xiuyan got into trouble in the past, her head would feel like it was going to explode.
But this time, looking at Lin Xiuyan's calm and composed demeanor, she suddenly felt that her daughter's troubles over the years had not been in vain; her aura was quite impressive!
So she tied her face up, grabbed a large knife, and stood beside Lin Xiuyan with a murderous aura.
She seemed ready to chop up any constables who dared to make things difficult for Lin Xiuyan.
Although the mother and daughter were outnumbered and outmatched, they still managed to project the imposing presence of a thousand troops.
Hearing the commotion outside, Lord Zheng asked in a cold voice, "Who is making a racket outside?"
A constable rushed in and said, "It's the Crown Princess!"
The moment Lord Zheng heard Lin Xiuyan's name, his head started to ache.
The wounds Lin Xiuyan inflicted last time haven't fully healed yet!
He gritted his teeth and asked, "What's she doing here?"
The constable recounted the events.
Lord Zheng felt his head throb even more.
He knew it wasn't a good thing as soon as he heard it!
He cursed Zhou Shuyi in his heart, calling him a piece of shit, a piece of trash who couldn't even kill anyone and still caused such a big mess.
Does Zhou Shuyi think he has nothing better to do than clean up their messes all day?
Lord Zheng regretted it somewhat. If he had known this would happen, he would have preferred to keep Zhou Shuyi locked up in the prison.
However, it would be difficult to explain this to the Princess Consort of Pingnan.
Even though Lord Zheng was the most shameless old fox in Liefeng City, he was starting to feel the pressure.
He said to the constable, "Go out and tell the Crown Princess that I am out on official business and not in the City Lord's Mansion."
The constable said somewhat awkwardly, "Perhaps when the Crown Princess came over today, she asked the constables on duty whether the lord was in the city lord's mansion."
"They said the city lord was there, and that's when the Crown Princess started beating the drum."
Lord Zheng wanted to beat that dim-witted bailiff to death on the spot.
He took a deep breath and walked out, but when he reached the door, he said to the constable, "Be smart in a bit!"
"If the Crown Princess makes a move, you must protect me!"
The constable hurriedly replied, "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely protect you!"
The constable was a clever man, and asked him again, "This matter is related to Young Master Zhou. Will you protect Young Master Zhou this time, sir?"
This is another sad topic.
Lord Zheng was still born to the Hu family, and Princess Pingnan was determined to protect Zhou Shuyi. At this point, he had no choice but to protect him.
He glanced at the constable, who hurriedly replied, "I understand. As long as I have a breath left, I will not let you get hurt, sir."
Lord Zheng felt slightly relieved upon hearing this, but the anxiety in his heart could not be dispelled no matter what.
He took another deep breath and went outside, telling himself that he was a high-ranking official of the imperial court and had no need to be afraid of Tang Miaoxin.
He made a effort to compose himself and walked out with great dignity.
He cupped his hands in greeting to Lin Xiuyan and said, "I wonder what brings the Crown Princess here today?"
Lin Xiuyan knew he was a scoundrel, so she said directly, "I'm here today to ask you, sir, to do me justice."
After she finished speaking, she pointed to the truckload of corpses and said, "Today I was ambushed on the street and almost lost my life."
"If my mother hadn't arrived just in time, I probably would have been killed. All these assassins are here now."
“There are still survivors among the murderers inside. He told me personally that the murderer is Zhou Shuyi.”
"We urge you, sir, to immediately arrest Zhou Shuyi and bring him to justice, so as to set the record straight!"
Lord Zheng said calmly, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. Where is the survivor?"
Lin Xiuyan pointed to the person at the very top of the carriage and said, "That's him."
The man was severely injured, with multiple fractures all over his body and blood everywhere; he looked horribly gruesome.
If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, Lord Zheng would probably have mistaken him for the murderer.
Lord Zheng said to the constable beside him, "Carry the person down first."
The constable understood Lord Zheng's meaning and immediately carried the person down.
But when he lifted the object, he was holding a needle in his hand, intending to stab the person to death.
Just as he was about to make a move, a strong hand grabbed his.
He was startled: "What are you going to do?"
Qu Shuangyue ignored him completely, and simply pulled his fingers apart one by one, revealing the long needles he had hidden in his arm.
The constable: "..."
City Lord Zheng: "..."
This woman is so quick-witted!
Qu Shuangyue said with a look of disdain, "What? You want to kill the witness?"
"This kind of low-class tactic has been outdated for a long time. Although there are still idiots trying to pull this trick in front of me today!"
Lord Zheng's expression was rather unpleasant, and he glared at the constable.
The constable hurriedly said, "Madam, you misunderstand. This needle is for investigating cases, not for killing people."
Qu Shuangyue gave him a cold look, and suddenly tightened her grip on his hand, crushing two of the constable's fingers.
The constable: "!!!!!!!"
He screamed in agony!
