I traveled to the era of female supremacy and became a bad woman

"Master, we are almost there." Jiuyi said from outside the car curtain.

Inside the car, Xiao Qingyue stared blankly at Feng Zhaoyun for a while. "Your Highness, we were assassinated before we even arrived. You must be extremely careful when entering Jiangnan."

"Okay, I'll listen to Qingyue." Feng Zhaoyun smiled sweetly, so sweet that it almost melted Xiao Qingyue's heart.

Xiao Qingyue looked at her infatuatedly, unable to imagine that such a sweet woman was actually the overlord of the battlefield, His Royal Highness the War King. If possible, she never wanted to see her kill people, only to see her so sweet.

As they approached the city, Jiuyi saw from afar that the city gate was full of officials standing there.

As the carriage approached, the Governor-General of Jiangnan and the Provincial Governor, as well as smaller local officials, knelt in unison and saluted. "Welcome, Princess! May your Majesty live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years!"

In the car, Feng Zhaoyun didn't pay attention to the situation outside. She looked at Xiao Qingyue quietly, "Qingyue, will you regret coming with me in the future?"

Xiao Qingyue smiled gently, "I'm willing."

Feng Zhaoyun smiled happily, then opened the curtain and walked down with Xiao Qingyue.

Seeing the once bustling city gate, where officials had already dismissed the people to welcome her, her brows furrowed.

“Why are there no people?”

Governor Yang, kneeling, was stunned. What kind of question was this? Knowing the War King's methods well, he didn't dare raise his head. "My princess, we were afraid of offending you, so we made arrangements in advance."

"Haha..." Feng Zhaoyun sneered, "Is this how you treat the people? The Governor has so much power."

Governor Yang's head was sweating. "Your Majesty, I dare not do that. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Well, since you admit your guilt, then fine! Governor Yang of Jiangnan, for oppressing the people and making inappropriate arrangements, I will temporarily remove you from your position. Return and await instructions."

All the kneeling officials were stunned. What kind of trick was this? They were just punishing people so casually?

"Your Highness, I am innocent!" Governor Yang raised his head and clasped his fists, only to see that the legendary King of War was indeed a stunningly beautiful woman as the rumors said.

Feng Zhaoyun looked down at her, "How dare you! Did I tell you to look up? You just admitted your guilt, so why are you now crying foul? Are you saying I wronged you?"

Governor Yang lowered his head quickly and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not."

Feng Zhaoyun had a blank expression on his face. "From today on, don't let me see you! Cherish this time at home!"

"Yes..."

Feng Zhaoyun looked at the others kneeling and slowly walked over, her steps leisurely, examining them one by one. The kneeling officials felt a chill run down their backs. The princess had just arrived and already demoted the highest-ranking official in their group. They couldn't help but be afraid.

After a long while, Feng Zhaoyun finally spoke. "Get up!"

Everyone bowed, "Thank you, Princess."

"Lead the way." Feng Zhaoyun said, pulling Xiao Qingyue onto the carriage. Xiao Qingyue looked at her hand and let her hold it. He had never expected that the usually lovely prince would have this side of him. He had almost forgotten that this was the War King of Shang.

Governor Yang arranged for Feng Zhaoyun and the others to stay in a villa called Nanyuan. This villa was extremely luxurious, comparable to the royal villas. Seeing this, one could tell that the Yang family was truly prosperous here.

After entering the villa and resting for a while, Feng Zhaoyun went into the main courtyard and ordered people to fetch water, bathe, and change clothes. Only then did he feel like he was alive again.

Sitting at the stone table in the yard, "Jiuyi, let them come to the main hall to see me."

"Yes!" Jiuyi clasped his fists and retreated.

Soon, all the officials were waiting in the main hall.

Feng Zhaoyun was just leaving the main courtyard and heading for the main hall when Xiao Qingyue, also dressed in a crescent-white dress, came towards him. "Your Highness, may I go with you?"

Feng Zhaoyun wanted to refuse, after all, this battle was one he had to fight alone, but when he thought about how he had already joined the game by standing beside him at the gate of Qingyue City, he agreed. The two of them went together.

In the main hall, everyone bowed hurriedly when they saw Feng Zhaoyun coming.

"Get up, everyone sit down."

Everyone took their seats according to their rank, but still didn't dare look at the person seated at the top. Xiao Qingyue sat below Feng Zhaoyun, holding a folding fan, looking very elegant.

"I'm under the order of His Majesty to inspect and control the flood. The magistrate of Liushui Town is available!"

When County Magistrate Guo of Liushui County was called, he stood up calmly and said, "I'm here."

Feng Zhaoyun looked at this man, who had a righteous character. He knew at a glance that he was not in the same group as Governor Yang. "County Magistrate Guo, do you admit your guilt?"

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Guo knelt down and said, "I plead guilty!"

Magistrate Guo knelt with dignity, Feng Zhaoyun's eyes narrowed slightly. "The imperial court has already allocated funds for disaster relief. How have you managed it? You haven't solved it yet. You deserve to be killed!"

Everyone was so scared that they were sweating. No one dared to speak a word to plead for mercy. They just hoped that the anger would not be taken out on themselves.

County Magistrate Guo kowtowed suddenly and knelt forward two steps excitedly. "Princess, I know my crime! The court allocated money and food, but there is not much left for me. It is because of my incompetence that the people have been displaced and cannot even get enough food! Please punish me, Your Highness!" His face was filled with tears as he finished speaking.

Xiao Qingyue put away her folding fan and looked at Feng Zhaoyun.

"Oh? Corruption? How dare you! Are you willing to guarantee that what you say is true?"

Magistrate Guo looked up at Feng Zhaoyun and said loudly, "I guarantee this with my life! Every word is true! I have written to my superiors many times, but there has been no response. After the court allocated funds, the superiors finally withheld them for review and only gave me a few dozen taels of silver and ten dan of rice for disaster relief. I hope your Highness will understand!"

After County Magistrate Guo finished speaking, all the officials involved were praying silently, hoping that they could escape. They had not expected that County Magistrate Guo would be so bold. If they had known earlier, they should have dealt with this man in advance.

Feng Zhaoyun tapped the table lightly with her slender and beautiful fingers, but remained silent after hearing what County Magistrate Guo said.

The place was completely silent, with only the sound of her fingers tapping on the table. The officials sat on pins and needles, sweat dripping down their faces.

After a long moment, Feng Zhaoyun slowly stood up and walked down, approaching the officials one by one and looking at them. "My Lords, please raise your heads and look at me when you answer."

Even after saying this, everyone looked up, but still didn't dare to look directly at her. Feng Zhaoyun glanced at them and asked, "Is this really the case?"

After Feng Zhaoyun finished speaking, a prefect knelt down and said, "My Lady, this County Magistrate Guo has mismanaged the government and is trying to shirk responsibility by making false accusations. Please do not believe him. I'm afraid he has already embezzled the money and grain!"

Everyone then turned to look at Feng Zhaoyun. From the city walls to this place, this was the first time anyone had gotten a good look at her. However, they hadn't expected to be afraid of such a beautiful woman. Was this truly the renowned War King?

After listening to this, Feng Zhaoyun smiled faintly and returned to the seat at the top. After sitting down, he slowly picked up the tea on the table and took a sip without even looking down. "That's right, we can't just rely on County Magistrate Guo's one-sided statement. County Magistrate Guo's improper governance has caused the people to be displaced, and he should be punished. County Magistrate Guo's accusations of corruption are unfounded and groundless. It's impossible for him to get away with it."

After Feng Zhaoyun said this, he observed the expressions of the officials below. Some of them breathed a sigh of relief, especially the prefect.

County Magistrate Guo was very disappointed when he heard this and continued to kneel helplessly.

"Princess, why don't you throw County Magistrate Guo into jail first? I will interrogate him every day and make him confess his guilt!" The speaker was the prefect who had just spoken.

Feng Zhaoyun looked at Magistrate Guo coldly. "Magistrate Guo, if I throw you into jail, wouldn't that be too easy for you? You haven't governed well, so you must govern well before you die. I will temporarily keep your official position and distribute disaster relief money and food. I'll give you five days. If you cause trouble again, I'll take your head."

County Magistrate Guo had originally looked helpless, but upon hearing about the distribution of money and grain for disaster relief, his eyes lit up and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, Princess! I obey your command!"

Feng Zhaoyun looked at the kneeling prefect, "Who is this prefect?"

"My humble position is Prefect Zhou Shu."

"Reward! I like people like the prefect who dare to speak the truth!"

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Zhou was overjoyed and immediately knelt down, "Thank you, Princess! Thank you, Princess!"

"I'm tired, back off!"

Hearing this, everyone felt relieved and knelt down to greet him. "Princess, please rest. I will take my leave!"

The officials left the hall one after another.

"Jiuyi, send two people to secretly protect County Magistrate Guo and ensure his safety. Send another person to follow Zhou Shu and see where she goes and who she meets!"

Jiuyi took the order and retreated.

Feng Zhaoyun walked towards Xiao Qingyue, regaining her innocent and sweet princess image. "Qingyue, how about we go out for a walk after dinner? I heard that the Jiangnan water town is very lively at night."

Xiao Qingyue smiled softly and dotingly, "I will obey your Highness."
