Female supremacy: The journey of a pregnant princess to the top

After a while, the two men walked into the crowd and heard a lot of conversations among the people.

"That man is beating the drum again to complain about his grievances."

"I heard that the prisoner has signed and sealed his name, and his family has come to the capital to file a complaint."

"What do you know? I heard that he confessed under torture. The local government has no direct physical evidence at all."

"Isn't there a witness?"

"Haha, things like witness testimony can be true or false."

"Officials protect each other, so it's hard to overturn the verdict."

……

Hearing this, Jiang Lingyue roughly understood what was going on.

For the government, a wrongful conviction may be just a 1% misjudgment, but for the victim, it is a 100% misjudgment.

Now that she has encountered such a thing, she can't just stand by and watch.

I squeezed forward and heard men arguing in the middle of the crowd. The voices seemed somewhat familiar.

"Please open a retrial. My sister did not kill anyone. She just found the body and went to report it."

"I'm warning you, kid. Stop making trouble." The bailiff's voice sounded impatient. "My Lord has checked the files and they are correct."

"There is something wrong with the file. Someone has framed me. Please investigate!"

"Shut up and stop talking nonsense."

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll lock you up too."

After hearing this, Jiang Lingyue could no longer bear it. How could a small yamen runner dare to be so rampant.

He winked at Chuntao, who understood and released her spiritual power from the middle stage of foundation building, saying loudly, "The Ninth Princess has arrived."

When the crowd heard this, they immediately made way for her and bowed, "Long live the Ninth Princess!"

She nodded with satisfaction, held her head high and chest puffed out, strode to the center of the crowd and looked forward.

But he unexpectedly discovered a familiar figure. The man standing in front of him, dressed in black and holding a knife, was none other than Gu Yuan!

At the same time, Gu Yuan also turned around and saw her. A hint of discomfort flashed across his eyes, and then he bowed his head.

"Why are there so many people gathered here? Is there something going on?" She pretended to be ignorant and asked.

"Your Highness the Ninth Princess, it's nothing serious. There are some troublemakers. We will send them away right away." The leading yamen runner nodded and bowed, smiling flatteringly. "Your Highness the Ninth Princess wants to go shopping. I will arrange for someone to protect you right away."

"Oh? Where is the troublemaker?" Jiang Lingyue ignored her words and tried to trick her into leaving. Did she still think she was the same fool as before?

"Yes, yes..." The bailiff hesitated. Why did the Ninth Princess suddenly become nosy? How could he answer?

"How dare you! A mere yamen runner actually deceive His Highness!" Upon seeing this, Chun Tao yelled loudly, and the yamen runner was so scared that he fell to his knees on the spot.

Jiang Lingyue gave Chuntao a thumbs up in her heart. The masters in the foundation-building stage were indeed extraordinary and it was very convenient to use them to scare people.

"Your Highness the Ninth Princess, I have suffered a grievance, please help me!" Gu Yuan suddenly knelt on one knee and clasped his hands together.

He thought that when he went to the capital to file a complaint, the magistrate would review the case and find any suspicious points. However, he did not expect that the yamen would ask him to wait for notification because there were too many case files.

After going to the government office many times without stopping, he finally got a reply, but they said that the file was correct and could not be re-examined.

Time is running out, no matter what method he uses, he must save people first.

Jiang Lingyue raised her eyebrows. After suffering from the beating of society, he finally asked her for help?

Then let her see who is right and who is wrong. If there is really a cancer in the officialdom, she will definitely find it out.

"Since there is an injustice, we should investigate it carefully and make sure we don't make a wrong judgment." Jiang Lingyue looked down at the yamen runners, "Tell your lords to get out here right now!"

"Yes, sir. I'll go right away!" The chief bailiff got up and ran inside as if he had been granted amnesty.

A moment later, a middle-aged woman in official uniform hurried over. It was Feng Ying, the prefect of the capital.

"I am late, and I hope Your Highness will forgive me." The man bowed and saluted.

"No need to be polite." Jiang Lingyue glanced at her, "Have you ever seen the file this person mentioned, Lord Prefect?"

"I have seen it."

"Is there anything suspicious?"

"Well, there are indeed some things that are not very clear."

"Then why not re-examine the case?" Jiang Lingyue said angrily.

"Ahem, well... the capital has many affairs to deal with. If there is no sufficient evidence to prove that the prisoner is indeed innocent, the government office can stop the trial." The prefect explained awkwardly.

Jiang Lingyue frowned. After such a long time, it would be extremely difficult to find new evidence to prove the innocence of the person. In this case, there was only one way to think.

"Oh? According to Lord Feng, on the contrary, if the existing evidence is found to be insufficient and untrue, the government cannot prove the prisoner's guilt." Jiang Lingyue stared at her, "If the suspect cannot be proved guilty, the government cannot sentence him, right?"

The prefect was stunned by the question, but had no way to refute it.

"Innocent until proven guilty, Your Excellency, does what I said make sense?"

"Your Highness the Ninth Princess is absolutely right." The prefect was surprised. When did the Ninth Princess become so eloquent?

"The prefect doesn't want to re-examine the case because he is afraid that the suspect will be proved innocent, and you won't be able to find the real murderer, and you will face the pressure of solving the case!" Jiang Lingyue speculated.

"Nine, Ninth Prince, I dare not." The prefect of the capital city broke out in a cold sweat when his thoughts were revealed.

"Okay, put away your little calculations!" Jiang Lingyue observed his expression and knew that he had guessed right, so she scolded, "You can't force the case to be solved just because you want to pursue a perfect performance resume, reverse right and wrong, and wrongly accuse good people. This is putting the cart before the horse, do you understand?"

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince is right." The prefect of the capital was already sweating profusely.

The superiors control people with both kindness and severity. Seeing that the suppression was almost enough, Jiang Lingyue sighed and patted the prefect on the shoulder.

"Ah! I also know that you are loyal to the country and busy with affairs. This time, you may be negligent because you want to make progress too much. Some cases are indeed difficult to solve. You don't have to mind it. Just find out the truth. I believe that you will not let me down again this time, right?"

"Please be at ease, Your Highness. I understand."

The prefect of the capital city is indeed a veteran in the officialdom, and he will take advantage of any opportunity to step down.

Seeing that she had silenced the prefect with just a few words and agreed to retry the case, the onlookers praised her. Her Highness the Ninth Princess was indeed a person who could not be judged by appearance. Not only was she willing to understand the people's feelings and plead for them, she was also smart and quick-witted.

Gu Yuan remained kneeling on one knee, and he heard every word that was said clearly.

Looking up at her, it was clearly the same face, but she looked completely different from when I first met her. When we first met, she was as overbearing and tyrannical as the rumors said, but now, she can stand up for others and convince them with reason.

Now, every word and action of the Ninth Princess is so radiant, even the fat on her face looks pleasing to the eye.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Ninth Prince, for your help!" Gu Yuan clasped his fists and bowed, expressing his sincere gratitude.

Looking at the old friend, Jiang Lingyue opened the Eye of Identification curiously.

Male, 50 years old, human-grade top-grade earth spirit root, initial stage of Qi Refining. Favorability towards the host: 20.

It was impossible to tell without a cheat at the time, but it turns out that he is actually a man with spiritual roots. No wonder he had to be locked up with an iron chain, because the rope couldn't tie him up at all.

The favorability is actually 20? This must have just been increased! Although she had no chance to check it before, she was sure that the previous favorability was definitely negative.

"Alright, stop kneeling." Jiang Lingyue waved her hand nonchalantly, "I just don't like it, it's not because of you that I care about this."

Gu Yuan stood up upon hearing this, and his face inexplicably turned red with embarrassment when he heard the Ninth Princess' last words.
