“Girl, you…”
Before he could finish speaking, a long sword was placed against his neck.
Immediately, all the women present turned pale with fright and scattered in all directions. In the end, they found that they could not escape the room at all and could only shrink in a corner, cautiously watching in Gu Jingchun's direction.
Li Kui, however, showed no surprise; instead, he smiled.
"Girl, what kind of game is this?"
"These swords and blades don't have eyes."
"It would be bad if I accidentally got hurt."
His face still had a lecherous look, but his eyes now held a hint of murderous intent.
Looking at Gu Jingchun's face, he found it truly handsome and said again:
"However, I like your personality too."
"Now, as long as you obey and put the sword away, I promise I won't hurt you, how about it?"
Looking at Li Kui's appearance, Gu Jingchun knew that he must have a backup plan.
However, there was no fear on her face; instead, she chuckled softly.
"oh?"
"It's quite an eye-opener to come to your prefectural governor's mansion today. First, I was provoked at the gate, and now that I'm here, I can't believe I'm hearing such presumptuous words."
"If His Highness the Crown Prince finds out that his people are being treated like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold your position as prefect for long."
Upon hearing this, Li Kui's expression finally changed. He looked at Gu Jingchun with some skepticism.
"Are you one of His Highness the Crown Prince's people?"
Gu Jingchun nodded.
"nature!"
"Li Kui, the news that you embezzled grain, causing people to be displaced, and that you disregarded human life in an attempt to cover up your crimes has already reached the Emperor's ears."
"His Highness will arrive soon. If you hand over all the grain now, you might still be able to save your life."
Li Kui paused for a moment before tilting his head back and laughing out loud.
"Ha ha ha ha."
"What a joke."
"I've distributed all the grain in my granary to the people, but there are just too many refugees. This amount of grain is far from enough. What can I do?"
"Even if His Majesty himself came, there would be no way to help him now."
"Yeah?"
"You sent people to guard the porridge distribution area, preventing people from getting porridge. Do you think others can't see that?"
"Hahahaha, those lowly commoners are clearly too stupid. They don't even know their own status, yet they expect me to feed them. Dream on!"
"It would be better if they all starved to death; who would care about the lives of those lowly people?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
She also knew that there was nothing to say to someone like Li Kui.
The reason I'm talking to him now is to attract his attention so that Ye Wenxi can better search for clues in the prefectural governor's mansion.
Getting this guy to talk will certainly be difficult, but finding clues in his yard will be relatively easy.
When Ye Wenxi appeared, she nodded to her without making a sound.
She breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head away, and refused to face that disgusting face anymore.
Now that she has obtained the information she wanted, there is no need for him to live anymore.
So she said directly, "In that case, let's kill them."
Upon hearing this, Li Kui immediately shouted.
"You dare, I am..."
Before he could finish speaking, the sword at his neck slashed across her neck again.
He looked down in disbelief and saw blood falling to the ground, faster and faster.
It was then that he was shocked to discover that his neck was indeed broken.
He quickly reached out to cover his neck, but it was too late.
His obese body collapsed uncontrollably.
"The prefect is dead..."
Those present were trembling with fear at the sight, while the servant muttered to himself.
"The prefect is dead."
He opened his eyes wide and repeated it again.
Seeing this, Gu Jingchun said directly, "His voice is loud. Let him go out and shout, and remember to shout loudly."
After he finished speaking, the servant was dragged outside, and a moment later, a loud shout rang out from outside.
"The prefect is dead! The prefect is dead!"
His voice was indeed quite loud, and it quickly attracted the attention of everyone in the mansion.
Seeing that a large crowd had gathered outside, Gu Jingchun went out, raised Shen Hechuan's private seal, and said, word by word:
"Everyone present, listen to my command. I am now ordering you, in my capacity as the Crown Prince, to go out immediately and distribute porridge and grain to the people."
Those present exchanged bewildered glances.
They looked at the unfamiliar woman and couldn't help but utter a rebuttal.
Why should we believe you?
Gu Jingchun smiled.
"That's a good question."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bodies of several guards landed in front of the crowd.
Those present were all from the prefectural governor's office, so they naturally recognized each other. These corpses were all capable and skilled men by Li Kui's side.
Li Kui took him everywhere he went, always protecting him from the shadows.
This is why Li Kui has become increasingly emboldened.
And now, he's been killed by this strange woman?
This shocked everyone, and their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Gu Jingchun.
However, there are always some people who are not convinced.
Sure enough, someone spoke up.
"You're just a woman, what makes you think you're the Crown Prince's person..."
Before he could finish speaking, he collapsed.
"Just because of this."
The longsword was raised high, and the dripping blood on it was a sight to behold for everyone present.
Now, everyone had no objections and obeyed, doing whatever Gu Jingchun asked them to do.
Finally, the steward standing at the front wiped the sweat from his brow and asked tremblingly, "But where is the grain?"
Gu Jingchun laughed again, like a demon in the dark night, making people tremble.
"Don't you know where there's food?"
As he spoke, the steward watched as the long sword stabbed towards him and her.
He was so frightened that he gasped for breath and, without thinking, immediately knelt down.
"I know, I know, I'll tell you everything, please don't kill me."
"good."
One word made the butler breathe a sigh of relief instantly.
One hour later.
Those people who were lying by the roadside waiting to die saw that the prefectural governor's office suddenly made a move.
Suddenly, the gates of the prefectural governor's mansion opened, and everyone inside ran out, trembling.
"Hey, look! Why have all the guards, servants, and maids from the prefectural governor's mansion come out?"
Everyone immediately looked over and saw the woman who had just gone in slowly walking out.
She stopped at the gate.
Immediately, someone brought a chair to him from behind.
Gu Jingchun sat down in front of everyone.
His calm and composed demeanor stood in stark contrast to the trembling crowd in front of him, who were practically kneeling down.
