I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 107: Nothing But the Northwest Wind
The stunned palace servants heard the order and acted quickly, quickly cleaning up the mess on the ground and carrying a new long table over.

Perhaps they were afraid that Princess Gaochang and her maid would find another crack and the table would break into two again. This table was painted, without any patterns on the surface, and it was so shiny that it could reflect light.

Princess Gaochang reached out and touched the surface of the long table, and everyone stared at her hand.

The skin on his hands seemed whiter than his face, and his fingers were slender and long, not at all like the rough hands of a warrior.

How on earth could a hand like this break a long thing with just one slap?
[Oh~ I also want to be born with supernatural powers. If Princess Gaochang was a man, she would definitely be the next Emperor of Gaochang. As for a woman... If I also had a strong daughter who would tear down houses for fun, I would probably want her to harm others. ]

Chu Liuzheng, a poor man, could understand the Emperor Gaochang's feelings very well. Building houses was really expensive!

[Before the envoys set out, the Emperor of Gaochang repeatedly warned his daughter not to show off her strength before entering the harem, and not to make the tyrant feel afraid. After all, sleeping next to a concubine who could toss her around like a ball at any time and really tear her room apart when she was unhappy, no man would be able to stand it.]

[Now that Princess Gaochang has slapped him like this, the Emperor Gaochang's wish to let his daughter live a life of idleness and waiting for death in the harem of Sheng State may be shattered. Hmm...light the candles, Amen! ]

Xiao Jingfan was sure that he could hear the gloating in his voice.

After checking the penis and finding it very solid, Princess Gaochang withdrew her hand. Everyone else also withdrew their gaze, feeling slightly disappointed.

Xiao Jingfan, who was sitting high up and had a full view of these expressions, said: "..."

What are you disappointed about? Didn't you break another long table?

It won’t cost you any money, right?
He waved to Zhou Yuande, who immediately stepped forward and listened attentively.

After hearing the instructions, he went down to pass on the message.

*
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be well and safe." Shuntian Prefecture Governor Dong Yi, dressed in scarlet official uniform, bowed respectfully and greeted the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be safe and sound." The trembling Li Youcai wore a gray-brown long coat. Because his right shoulder was cut by Zhao Yue, his kneeling posture was a little unnatural.

[So this is Li Youcai, he looks honest and is considered a good guy by most people. But just by looking at his appearance, who would know that he is actually a Phoenix man who kills his wife, steals her wealth, and eats up all the relatives? ]

Xiao Jingfan's eyebrows twitched slightly. The term "Phoenix Man" was quite new to him.

He didn't shout, but looked at the two of them while twisting his Bodhi beads.

Chu Liuzheng was reading Li Youcai's biography and happened to see his love history.

[Tsk, this Miss Bai is so unlucky. Because the Bai family has little wealth and she is the only daughter in the family without any other relatives, she is targeted by the wolf Li Youcai.]

[At the age of just beginning to fall in love, I met a scumbag who pretended to be infatuated. I thought he was after me, but in fact he was after my family's money. Tsk tsk, there is a ten-year age difference between them. An old man cheated on a simple girl. Bah, bah, bah! Shameless! ]

[Let me see. First, you create a chance encounter, the old-fashioned hero-saving-the-beauty plot, then you ask her to take a walk, a walk, a walk... No, every time you ask her to take a walk by the river, you should at least take her to the night market to buy a purse lantern or something? Or eat a bowl of wontons! So there is no money-spending activity, and she is just starving? ]

Chu Liuzheng quickly flipped through countless walks and finally saw something else.

At this glance, I felt that my mammary glands were a little blocked.

[Damn! This scumbag really got something for nothing! Miss Bai, this is not a marriage, it's poverty alleviation!!]

[Li Zha Zha, who is a gigolo, is even more arrogant than a live-in son-in-law. ]

[Sure enough, Miss Zhu should open a love teaching class to identify scumbags. It is a vast ocean. At that time, she will only accept people like Miss Bai who have never been in a relationship, so that there will not be too few specimens for comparison. If she meets a man who pretends to be okay, she will think she has met her true love and be coaxed into marrying him.]

Xiao Jingfan: "..." Isn't that over? Why is this woman still thinking about starting a class?
He was distracted and listened to his inner voice for a long time without saying anything, and the two kneeling people became more and more uncertain.

The ground was freezing in winter, and the chill ran from the knees to the bottom of his heart. Dong Yi was uneasy, not understanding why the emperor suddenly summoned him to the palace.

Shuntian Prefecture hasn't received any major cases recently.

Could it be that Xie Hui has reported him to His Majesty again?

He, a third-rank official, was extremely nervous, and Li Youcai, a commoner who had never seen the emperor before, was even more at a loss. He knelt upright with his head lowered, not daring to utter a single sound.

After waiting for a while and not hearing the inner voice again, Xiao Jingfan finally remembered that there were two people kneeling on the ground, and said, "Stand up, everyone."

The two men stood up, and Dong Yi asked, "Why did Your Majesty urgently summon me to the palace?"

"Let's talk about your business later." Xiao Jingfan waved at him, and Dong Yi had to suppress his doubts and stand aside.

Yin Taiyu, who was sitting behind a table next to him, looked at him. The two of them met eyes and nodded politely to each other.

Li Youcai was the only one standing in the middle. Without his companion, he felt more and more uneasy. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead and the hands hanging by his sides began to tremble slightly.

"Look up." Xiao Jingfan asked, "Are you Li Youcai, the owner of Li's Cloth Shop?"

"It's me." Li Youcai raised his head and was caught off guard by the sight of Xiao Jingfan's overly handsome face. He was stunned for a moment.

"How dare you!" Zhou Yuande shouted, "You are not allowed to look directly at the emperor!"

Li Youcai was so frightened that he immediately lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "I don't know, I won't dare to do it again."

"I have an unjust case here that is related to you." Xiao Jingfan looked at him, "Did you send servants to beat Zhao Shan and his wife, causing them to die?"

"I am innocent!" Li Youcai had never thought that this matter would be brought before the emperor. He immediately knelt down and cried out for justice. "I have always been honest and upright, and I would not dare to do such an evil thing. Someone must have falsely accused me. I beg Your Majesty to investigate!"

"Bah!" Zhao Yue was so angry that she broke free from the jade pendant holding her hand, rushed out and spat on Li Youcai's face, her eyes reddened and she wished she could bite this shameless man to death, "You were the one who sent people to beat my father and mother to death, how dare you deny it?"

Li Youcai had not dared to look around since he entered the palace. He did not notice that Zhao Yue was also here. He failed to dodge and was spat on.

If they were outside the palace, he would have slapped Zhao Yue in the face, but now he played innocent and pitiful in front of the emperor.

"Xiao Yue, I have already explained it to you clearly. Your parents' death has nothing to do with me."

He raised his sleeve to wipe the saliva off his face, his face full of sadness and disappointment.

"I just wanted to find a smart wife for my son, but I didn't expect that the marriage would end in an enemy. Not only did the Zhao family cancel the engagement, but you also killed my son."

"My son, how pitiful! He was young and strong but he passed away without even leaving a family behind!"

"Wow, I only have this one son! If you have any complaints, you can tell me. Come to me. Why do you want to kill my son and make my Li family extinct?"

When he talked about sad things, his eyes were red and he sobbed and cried. With his honest appearance, he really looked a bit pitiful.

Many palace servants showed moved expressions on their faces, and couldn't help but wonder if Zhao Yue was really making a false accusation.
