Female supremacy: The evil woman only wants to ascend the throne

Wan Qingyan continued, "It doesn't matter to me who you are, but if you dare to interfere with my duties, then I'm sorry, from that moment on, we will be enemies to the death. I, Wan Qingyan, will never show mercy to my enemies!"

After she finished speaking, Wan Qingyan suddenly stretched out her right hand and patted the prison warden's shoulder vigorously. With this pat, the prison warden felt a murderous intent spread through her shoulder and throughout her body, causing her to shiver involuntarily!

At the same time, the sneer on Wan Qingyan's face became more and more obvious, and the warning contained in it was displayed to the prison warden without reservation!

"You are a smart man. Don't seek death. Open the door for me!"

Wan Qingyan stood in front of the cell door, staring at the prison warden with a gloomy face, and issued a final warning in a cold and stern tone!

The prison warden trembled all over, not daring to be negligent in the slightest. He quickly lowered his head and replied with downcast eyes, "Yes, Fifth Prince!"

Then, she hurriedly took out the key and quickly opened the cell door. At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind, which was to get away from Wan Qingyan as soon as possible.

After Wan Qingyan stepped into the cell, she went straight to where the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was. Her surplus value had not been squeezed out yet!

"Your subordinate respectfully greets His Highness the Fifth Prince!"

The Deputy Director of the Ministry of Revenue was huddled in a corner. When she heard footsteps approaching, her body began to tremble involuntarily. When she saw that the person coming was Wan Qingyan, she quickly knelt on the ground and performed a great salute!

"Stand up." Wan Qingyan looked down at the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Revenue with a cold look in his eyes. However, after just a glance at him, Wan Qingyan keenly noticed something unusual.

The Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Revenue looked haggard, his face was blue, and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked as if he had aged ten years overnight. Although there were no obvious external injuries on his body, the weakness and fear emanating from his inside out could not be concealed!

"It's only been one night. Why are you like this? Did someone lynch you?"

Wan Qingyan frowned slightly and asked in confusion, her eyes fixed on the Yuwenlang of the Ministry of Revenue, trying to see through his inner thoughts!

"........."

Facing Wan Qingyan's questioning, the Ministry of Revenue's Yuanwailang moved her lips a few times, but still could not utter a word. She lowered her head, not daring to look Wan Qingyan in the eye, her heart filled with fear and anxiety. She never expected that Wan Qingyan would see through her situation at a glance!

"I see."

Wan Qingyan understood the silence of the Deputy Minister of Revenue. Not denying it was an admission!

"Whose people did this? Was it the Third Prince, or the Princess Royal?"

Wan Qingyan walked quickly to the side of the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, observed the movements around him, leaned his head over, and asked softly in her ear.

The Revenue Department's official was clearly terrified, his body trembling slightly. She also lowered her voice, so loud that only the two of them could hear, and replied, "Both sides... They've sent people to capture our family members as threats. If anyone dares to reveal even a single word of the truth, they'll kill us all!"

When he said the last few words, the voice of the Ministry of Revenue was obviously tearful, and his eyes were full of fear and despair!

Although she was afraid of Wan Qingyan, the desperate Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Revenue knew that there was no other way except to ask Wan Qingyan for help. She just wanted to protect her family from harm!

"Have other officials in the Ministry of Revenue experienced the same thing as you? And most importantly, do you have any solid evidence?

As long as we have evidence, it will be much easier. But if we don't have even a shred of substantive evidence, even if we go to the Empress to file a complaint, our chances of winning are slim!"

Wan Qingyan frowned tightly, narrowed her eyes slightly, and a fierce look flashed across her eyes. In fact, she had already expected that Wan Qingyu and Wan Qingjiao would take action to fight back, but she had been struggling to find strong evidence!

Wan Qingyan knew very well that if he wanted to bring down Wan Qingyu and Wan Qingjiao, he had to have both human and material evidence!

"Fifth Prince, don't the secret letter and ring I gave you earlier count as favorable evidence?"

The Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Revenue looked at Wan Qingyan in disbelief. In her opinion, this evidence was enough!

"The butler you were communicating with is dead. As for the ring, the Third Prince said you found it!"

Wan Qingyan slowly stretched out his right hand and gently patted the shoulder of the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, asking her to face reality. It was simply a pipe dream to want to convict the princess based on these things!

Even if there is solid evidence before her, the princess would at most receive some minor punishment, and there is no chance of anything serious happening!

But it’s different for the people working under them. All the blame will fall on them, and then they will probably have no way out but death. This is the cruel reality of this world!

Hearing this, the Ministry of Revenue's Deputy Minister could no longer suppress his inner fear and regret. Tears welled up in his eyes like a broken dam, and he said in a trembling voice, "Fifth Prince, then... then what should I do? My personal life or death doesn't matter, but I simply cannot bear to see my family implicated and end up in such a miserable state because of me!"

At this moment, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Revenue had fallen into complete despair. Recalling the time when she first embarked on the path of corruption, she had hesitated and struggled.

However, facing the greedy officials around him, if he did not go with the flow and become corrupt, he would not be able to make any progress in the Ministry of Revenue and might even lose his official position.

Once he lost his official position, how could he support his family and children and let them live a stable and prosperous life with only that meager salary? This was undoubtedly a difficult question with no answer. No matter which choice he made, it seemed wrong!

Thinking of this, the Member of the Ministry of Revenue could not help but feel grief-stricken and cried even more heartbrokenly. She knew very well that she was stuck in the quagmire and could not extricate herself, and what was waiting for her ahead was only an abyss!

"Are you willing to sacrifice your own life for the lives of your family? This method may not kill them instantly, but it's enough to scare them!

As long as you do it, I will do my best to protect your family, but I may not be able to save them. I will do my best. If I can save them, I will arrange for them to leave the capital and go to a relatively safe place!"

A plan emerged in Wan Qingyan's mind, but the Minister of Revenue must die before this opportunity can come true!
