Female supremacy: The evil woman only wants to ascend the throne
Chapter 124: The Lawless Landlord
Wan Qingyan never thought that he would unexpectedly hear gossip about himself when he simply came out for a meal.
The people around did not show much special reaction to the name "Ci Ai Yan", obviously they did not realize the mystery hidden in it.
However, the moment these three words reached Wan Qingyan's ears, she immediately understood the deep meaning behind them.
"Ci Ai Yan"—isn't this exactly "Ci Ai Yan"? Such an obvious and lame pun is undoubtedly from Cui Shici.
When she thought of this, Wan Qingyan felt a little amused and helpless. Although this pun was really not very good, she also found it a bit fun and funny!
Wan Qingyan quickly finished all the food, paid the bill, and walked out like an arrow, continuing to stroll around and heading towards the government office.
She had just returned to the yamen, and before her butt even touched the chair, Zheng Changchuan was like a clay man fished out of a mud pit, covered in dirt, with several big footprints on his face and body. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he had been beaten.
"Xiaochuan, who beat you up? Where are the people I sent to protect you? Did they all disappear out of thin air?"
Wan Qingyan was furious and slammed the table in front of her so hard that the teacups on the table almost fell over. She frowned and questioned the embarrassed Zheng Changchuan in front of her sharply.
When she saw Zheng Changchuan in such a miserable state, she wanted to step forward and lend a hand to help him up. However, when her eyes fell on Zheng Changchuan's clothes covered in dirt and blood, she hesitated for a moment, and finally quickly retracted her hand, letting him stand up on his own!
Hearing Wan Qingyan's question, Zheng Changchuan endured the pain in his body and stood up tremblingly.
He raised his head, his eyes bloodshot and his face filled with resentment. He replied in a trembling but firm voice, "Your Highness, this time I have truly encountered a great disaster! All those people you sent to protect me have died in the process of doing so!
Those local gentry are so audacious and lawless! I was investigating their land annexation in depth when they discovered my tracks.
These villains were afraid that the matter would be exposed, so they wanted to kill us and wipe us out completely! Even if I revealed my identity to them and told them that we were sent by you!
But not only did they show no fear, they became even more ruthless and fierce, vowing to kill us all! In the end, I was the only one who managed to escape, barely surviving and making it back..."
Speaking of this, Zheng Changchuan couldn't help but feel sad, his eyes turned red and tears welled up in his eyes. The images of those people who risked their lives to protect him kept appearing in his mind. He felt heartbroken and could hardly control himself.
Wan Qingyan didn't say anything, but the murderous intent in her eyes was like a volcanic eruption. She silently clenched her fists and punched the table. In an instant, the thick table was split into two.
"System, why didn't you notify me that Zheng Changchuan was in danger?"
Wan Qingyan questioned the system in a cold voice. She didn't believe that the system couldn't sense that Zheng Changchuan was in danger!
"Host, this is really not my fault! The reason I didn't feel he was in danger was because you sent people to protect him. His life was not in real danger..."
The system was suddenly called upon by Wan Qingyan to respond, and it was very nervous, but it still explained calmly that it really couldn't be blamed for this!
After hearing what the system said, Wan Qingyan fell silent. At this moment, the surging bloodthirsty thoughts in her heart were madly impacting the dam of her rationality, and it was ready to burst out at any time!
"Xiaochuan, I will avenge you. I won't let any of those gentry go. Do you remember their faces?"
Wan Qingyan stood up suddenly and said with her eyes wide open, then she slowly sat back in her chair, trying hard to control her anger that was about to explode.
The veins on her forehead bulged out like a dragon, her teeth chattered, making chilling "cluck" sounds, but the corners of her mouth forced a mysterious, eerie smile.
"Your Highness, I remember their faces. I can lead you. They dared to ignore you and kill the officials! What's more, they are ordinary people with no power or influence!
Ordinary people have always been living in dire straits! If these people are not eliminated, it will not be enough to appease the public anger. They are the biggest scourge of the lower classes in Qingzhou and have no humanity at all!
Zheng Changchuan hated those local gentry so much that he wanted to skin them alive to relieve his hatred.
Wan Qingyan looked at Zheng Changchuan, who looked like a clay figurine, and sighed softly. She was already angry enough, and the smell of his foul odor made her even more irritated. She quickly sent him away, saying, "Xiaochuan, go take a shower now. I'll take care of this matter. Don't worry!"
Zheng Changchuan looked down at his dirty and smelly clothes, his eyes darkened, and he silently replied, "Okay, I'll go right away!"
"Host, calm down. You can easily deal with those local gentry. Why are you so angry? Don't get yourself hurt. It's not worth it!"
Seeing that Wan Qingyan was still angry, the system quickly came out to comfort her.
"System, I'm so tired! I'm so exhausted just managing this place, and so many things have gone wrong!
If I really were to become an empress, managing the entire country, I'm afraid I'd tire myself out. No wonder there are so many foolish rulers; who wouldn't want to indulge in pleasure? Being a wise and powerful ruler, but not having fun and dealing with so much government would inevitably lead to an early death!"
Wan Qingyan slumped in the chair like a big salted fish, looked up at the ceiling and sighed helplessly. She felt exhausted at this moment, but she could not say these words out loud, so she could only complain to the system.
She is the backbone of the group. If she falls, everything will be over!
"Host, what you said is not true. The current empress is not exhausted to death. There are still a lot of male concubines in the palace. They live happily like gods!"
After thinking for a while, the system used the current empress as a positive example to encourage Wan Qingyan to think more positively.
“No one can truly empathize with me, not to mention that you are not even a human being, but just a system.
You only saw part of the empress's enjoyment, but she was also very tired, but she would not show it, because she was the high and mighty empress, and she had to maintain her dominance and wisdom at all times.
If she showed any sign of weakness, it would give the enemy an opportunity to exploit her. It's lonely at the top, so she won't let those below her see her tiredness and boredom!"
