Transmigrating to Female Supremacy: Husbands, Don’t Be Too Outrageous

"Xian Yao."

Having said this, Li Yuanzhen stood up and signaled her female official to leave. She slowly walked to Li Yuanying, patted her shoulder gently, and said:

"Don't forget, you and I are here to try a case. Northwest military defense is more important than anything else. Don't act on impulse here."

It would have been fine if Li Yuanzhen didn't say anything, but as soon as he started talking, Li Yuanying felt even more disgusted.

Things had developed to this point, and only a blind person would fail to see that Li Yuanzhen, the female official, had murdered someone in public to silence him. But Ji Zhen and Yu Bojun had no evidence, and neither did she.

Even if the case was reported to the Empress, she could not be convicted based on the accusation of a few people that the female official had committed murder to silence the witnesses.

Li Yuanzhen did all these to lure her people, Li Yuanying, to buy the so-called Northwest Defense Map. But she clearly received news that her Northwest Defense Map was stolen from Ji Zhen.

Li Yuanying's mind had never been as clear as it was now. In an instant, she immediately guessed two possibilities:

One possibility is that the assassins she had recruited betrayed her and colluded with Li Yuanzhen to set a trap for her and kill her!

Another possibility is that her useless assassins did not succeed in getting anything from Ji Zhen. But in order to get the antidote for Sui Sui You, they had no choice but to buy a fake Northwest Defense Map to fool her.

The more Li Yuanying thought about it, the gloomier her face became. She couldn't accept either of these two possibilities. Especially the second one. If her assassins were so stupid, it would be a shame for her!

Li Yuanying walked up to Zhang Quansheng with a frosty face mask, waved to the guards who were holding him and said:

"My sister is right. The most urgent matter now is whether the Northwest Defense Map is really being sold in the market. You take his jaw back for me. I have something to ask him."

The guard glanced at Ji Zhen, and she nodded slightly. The guard then easily took Zhang Quansheng's chin back.

Zhang Quansheng, who was finally able to close his mouth, didn't dare to move at this moment. He had never seen Li Yuanying so cold before. An instinctive fear instantly spread throughout his body.

Suddenly Li Yuanying raised her foot and stepped hard on his chest, narrowing her eyes and asked:

"Tell me, were you the one who went to find Tian Fugui to buy the Northwest Defense Map?"

Li Yuanying's footsteps were so powerful that Zhang Quansheng lay on the ground, unable to move. He just opened his mouth and gasped heavily, but dared not say a word.

But his evasive eyes betrayed him. Li Yuanying's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. She crushed his chest with her foot. Suddenly, she smiled at him and said softly:

"What a mad dog! Do you know what happens to dogs that dare to bite me?"

Suddenly, Li Yuanying pulled out the sword of the guard who was holding Zhang Quansheng, and stabbed Zhang Quansheng in the chest with a precise and ruthless strike. Zhang Quansheng died before he could even make a sound.

This change came too suddenly, shocking everyone. The dungeon suddenly fell into a dead silence, suffocating.

Ji Zhen was the first to react. She strode up to Zhang Quansheng and sniffed his breath. She found that he was really dead and her face turned ugly.

These two people dared to kill people in front of her? Good, very good!

"Someone, come and capture Li Yuanying for me." Ji Zhen gave the order in a deep voice.

"Who dares?"

Li Yuanying put her hands on her hips, her eyes wide open, her face extremely ferocious, and looked at Ji Zhen and said:

"I am the Princess Xian Yao, who was personally appointed by His Majesty. I hold the first rank of government. How dare you, a mere prince of the first rank, touch me?"

Seeing that Li Yuanying was smart now and knew how to use the title to pressure her, Ji Zhen couldn't help but sneer:

"Princess and princes who break the law are subject to the same punishment as ordinary people. This is the imperial decree of His Majesty the Emperor. Today, you actually committed a crime openly in my execution hall. Not to mention that a mere first-rank prince like me can arrest you, even a third-rank Jingzhao Yin or a ninth-rank county magistrate can arrest you."

After saying that, he waved his hand and the guards swarmed over from all sides, pinned Li Yuanying down with his backhand and made her kneel on the ground.

Li Yuanying had never been treated like this before, and immediately felt extremely humiliated and shouted:

"Ji Zhen! So what if I killed someone? That mad dog bit me recklessly, pretended to be someone from my house, and slandered me! I naturally cannot tolerate it! But is Zhang Quansheng the only corpse in your execution hall? Didn't the princess kill anyone? Or did you and her collude long ago and team up to harm me?"

"Xian Yao!"

With a loud slap, a loud slap hit Li Yuanying's face. Li Yuanzhen looked coldly at the palm print that quickly appeared on Li Yuanying's face, her eyes dark. She withdrew her hand, looked down at Li Yuanying and said:

"Xian Yao, have you lost your mind? How can you say such a thing? You are bringing disgrace to the royal family."

Li Yuanzhen looked at Li Yuanying with a cold gaze, full of warning. She suddenly seemed to remember something, suddenly woke up, lowered her head, and stopped talking.

Seeing that Li Yuanying had finally calmed down, Li Yuanzhen turned around and gestured to his female official Shuoxue:

"Xian Yao is weak, and this ridiculous behavior must have been an unintentional act caused by stimulation. I will take her back to the palace to see the imperial physician. Qingyan, don't take it to heart, let Jingzhao Yin clean up here. Today is the last day of your birthday banquet, you should hurry up and prepare, and don't let the guests down."

Li Yuanzhen's words were full of threats and warnings, and Ji Zhen laughed in his heart when he heard them.

Did Li Yuanzhen think she was blind? Couldn't he see that she wanted to take Li Yuanying and leave? Two bodies lying on the ground, and she was done with just one word "absurd"?

Ji Zhen smiled coldly, stretched out his hand to stop Shuoxue from helping Li Yuanying up, and said to Li Yuanzhen:

"Your Highness, Princess Xian Yao openly committed a crime in the execution hall, causing a murder. You cannot leave."

"Punishment hall?" Li Yuanzhen looked at Ji Zhen with lightning eyes and sneered, "Your small dungeon with a few bricks can be considered a torture hall?"

She took a step forward, got closer to Ji Zhen and whispered in her ear:

"Qingyan, don't think that you can walk around the capital with your head held high just because you have a talented person by your side. In your small dungeon, let alone two corpses. Even if there are ten or twenty corpses, even if I let Shuoxue kill Ma Hongyuan again in front of you, you can't do anything to me. Can you let the dead speak? I advise you that a man who knows the current situation is a hero. Only by doing your job well can you live longer."

Ji Zhen's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and a bit of timidity appeared on his face. He asked Li Yuanzhen:

"Her Highness's court lady Shuoxue, can she really kill people without leaving any trace? She killed that Ma Hongyuan without leaving any trace at all?"

"So what? What can you do?"

Looking at Ji Zhen with a timid expression, Li Yuanzhen suddenly felt extremely refreshed, and all the frustration and uneasiness he had felt since entering the dungeon disappeared.

But before she could even laugh, Ji Zhen walked to the curtain behind the rack, bowed, and said loudly:

"Master Lin, you have heard everything. Please come out and make the judgment."

Li Yuanzhen's whole body trembled and he froze in place.

Lord Lin? Which Lord Lin?
