210. Chapter 210: The Misogyny Emperor vs. the Wife of a Powerful Official (62)



Jiang Li was standing in the crowd, looking calmly at Zhou Qingyuan who had deserved his punishment.

Truth will eventually come to light, and now all the dirty deeds Zhou Qingyuan has done have been exposed. It is all his own fault!

Although Zhou Qingyuan received the due punishment in his previous life, that was after the death of his family. Now that she has come back to live again, Jiang Li wants to see Zhou Qingyuan pay the price! Shen Tingsi has felt hatred from Jiang Li more than once. Although Jiang Li said that the reason she secretly investigated the General's Mansion was because of a nightmare, Shen Tingsi knew that things were not that simple.

As for what the truth of the matter is, it doesn’t matter.

If she didn't say anything, he wouldn't ask any more questions.

Zhou Qingyuan has killed several people. In order to make huge profits, he pretended to be a ghost behind the scenes and fabricated rumors to create panic among the people. Now there are witnesses and evidence. Even if he has wings, he can't escape death! Today is the day to arrest Zhou Qingyuan. In order to eliminate the hatred in Jiang Li's heart, Shen Tingsi specifically told her about this matter, so that she could see with her own eyes what Zhou Qingyuan's end was! Jiang Li's face was too eye-catching. Even in the crowd, Zhou Qingyuan still saw her at a glance.

When Zhou Qingyuan saw the portrait just now, he felt that the person in the portrait was very familiar. Now after seeing the face in the crowd, he finally remembered who that person was.

Jiang Li!! Zhou Qingyuan fell into self-doubt again.

Jiang Li was clearly devoted to him and deeply in love with him, so how could she, how could she be plotting against him behind his back?

Could it be that everything before was fake, and she had other intentions in marrying into the general's mansion? Zhou Qingyuan stared at Jiang Li, trying to find the answer from her face. Jiang Li looked at him calmly and let Zhou Qingyuan look at her.

In order to annoy Zhou Qingyuan, Jiang Li curled the corners of her mouth slightly, and there was a hint of ridicule towards the idiot in her eyes when she looked at Zhou Qingyuan.

Zhou Qingyuan: “!”

The look he gave Jiang Li instantly became fierce, as if he wanted to eat her alive! At this moment, another tall figure came from the side and stood beside Jiang Li like a guardian god.

"Mr. Shen?"

After noticing a tall figure around her, Jiang Li looked up at the person who came.

Shen Tingsi lowered his eyes and looked at her, the tenderness in his eyes almost overflowing.

The two looked at each other, and there was only room for each other in their eyes.

Zhou Qingyuan's breathing stagnated, and he looked at Jiang Li and Shen Tingsi in the crowd in disbelief.

Your Majesty and Jiang Li, he, they...

The words that Zhou said before she died instantly rushed into Zhou Qingyuan's brain. Zhou Qingyuan staggered and almost fell to the ground! He stared at the two people in the crowd with wide eyes, and it took him a long time to find his voice.

“Your Majesty…”

"Shut up!"

As soon as Zhou Qingyuan shouted out the word "Feng Jue", someone quickly stuffed an unknown object into his mouth, instantly blocking the words that were about to come out of his mouth!

The moment his mouth was blocked, an unpleasant smell immediately spread in Zhou Qingyuan's mouth, causing him to put on a mask of pain in an instant.

“Hmm, Hmm!”

Zhou Qingyuan kept struggling to spit out the food in his mouth. Feng Jue curled his lips after noticing his intention.

"Why, you still dislike your own things?"

Feng Jue lowered his eyes and glanced at Zhou Qingyuan. Zhou Qingyuan subconsciously followed his gaze and found that his outer robe was open and his belt was missing!

Zhou Qingyuan's mood has been up and down since he returned to the General's Mansion. His whole body has been drenched in cold sweat. The smell of sweat plus the dirt on his body just now, the taste in his mouth is really... hard to describe!

Seeing that the time was almost right, Li Huaian, who was standing at the end of the crowd, shouted angrily.

Li Huaian's voice was loud and clear, and his words were clearly heard by everyone present.

Everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction of the voice. When they saw that the person coming was the newly crowned top scholar Li Huaian, they all stepped back and made way for him to pass through.

Li Huaian walked towards Zhou Qingyuan in front of the general's mansion with a sullen face, recounting the dirty things Zhou Qingyuan had done behind his back over the years as he walked.

"You forced innocent people into prostitution, cheated on them and caused their families to be torn apart. You even murdered four of your colleagues out of selfishness. General Zhou, as an official appointed by the imperial court, how could you do such a heartless thing?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole street fell into complete silence!

The people looked at Li Huaian with their mouths wide open, their eyes following his figure.

Just as Li Huaian came in front of Zhou Qingyuan, another loud voice suddenly came from the other side.

"How dare you use the witch clan's banned medicine to murder people? It's really hard for General Zhou to go to the trouble of finding the medicine!"

The people whose eyes were originally following Li Huaian's movement turned their heads to look to the other side, and saw Doctor Su walking towards them with a stern face, followed by a group of young girls from brothels.

"Divine Doctor Su, Champion Li, what murder? What secret medicine of the witch clan? What on earth is going on?"

A citizen in the crowd looked at Doctor Su and Li Huaian with a puzzled look on his face. Today's events were too sudden and explosive, and now they wanted to find out the truth as soon as possible.

"It's him. He's the one who captured us and brought us here to sell our bodies for survival. If we don't listen to him, he'll kill our families!"

A brothel girl recognized the fierce-looking accountant at a glance. Although the accountant was wearing a mask, the scar at the corner of his eye could not deceive anyone! "Yes, it's him! Please help us, Lord!"

The girls in the brothel lifted their skirts and ran to Li Huaian, who was wearing official uniforms, and knelt down with a plop! "Don't worry, I am here under the order of His Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly. I will definitely give you justice and make the evildoers pay the price they deserve!"

Li Huaian spoke to comfort them, and his deep voice quickly calmed everyone down.

One of the girls in the brothel learned that two prefects had noticed something was wrong with the brothel and came to investigate. In order not to expose the secret of Jinse Tower, the accountant first ordered them to knock the two prefects unconscious and then used the witch clan's colorless and odorless secret medicine on the prefects to create the illusion of death from excessive indulgence.

This medicine was a forbidden drug of the witch clan and had been lost long ago. Even the imperial physicians in the palace could not find anything unusual. In the end, they could only conclude that the two prefects died because they were greedy for beauty and had no self-control.

Now that the situation is hopeless, under pressure from Li Huaian, Master Yu Sanye confessed how he used the con man and how he poisoned the other two prefects.

Zhou Qingyuan's false mask was completely torn off in front of the people, and he was finally taken away by officers and soldiers under the beating and abuse of the people.

Everything he did was a heinous crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of his clan. Now that Zhou is dead, the remaining brother and sister Zhou Qingyun and Zhou Zhiheng were also implicated by Zhou Qingyuan, and the entire family will be executed in the autumn.

Jiang Li felt relieved after seeing the fate of Zhou Qingyuan's family.

Shen Tingsi turned his head to look at her, taking in her expression.

"Miss Jiang, be careful."

As Zhou Qingyuan and his family were taken to prison, the people swarmed behind the officers and soldiers, and the scene instantly became chaotic.

Shen Tingsi held Jiang Li in his arms, and looked around to make sure no one squeezed him.

When the crowd left and he looked away, he found Jiang Li looking up at him.

"It's too formal to call you Miss Jiang, why don't you..."
