I traveled to the era of female supremacy and became a bad woman
Chapter 24: Killing Corrupt Officials
That afternoon, Feng Zhaoyun and others, along with County Magistrate Guo, set off for Jiangnan.
When they arrived at the Jiangnan Gate, Governor Yang was once again greeted with his men. This time, the carriage was escorted by personal guards from the Duke's Mansion and the Prince of Zhan's Mansion. The scene was grand, and all the officials knelt on the ground, not daring to look up.
Feng Yunjin and Feng Zhaoyun did not get out of the car. Feng Yunjin pulled open the car curtain and said, "My lords, please get up quickly. Don't prevent Her Highness the Princess from going into the city to rest."
Governor Yang and the others were stunned at first, then saluted and said, "Yes."
Everyone returned to the South Garden first. Xiao Qingyue was already waiting at the gate. Seeing the carriage arrive, she was delighted. But then she saw the Duke's personal guards beside her and was slightly stunned.
The car curtain opened, Feng Yunjin got out first, then stretched out his hand, and placed a pair of slender, white hands on it. Feng Zhaoyun held Feng Yunjin's hand and got out of the car.
Xiao Qingyue felt a sharp pain in her heart and stood there in a daze. When she saw Feng Yunjin, her mind went blank.
Feng Yunjin also looked at Xiao Qingyue, his face dark as water could drip.
Feng Zhaoyun hurried forward, "Qingyue, how have you been these days?" As if remembering something, he turned around and looked at Feng Yunjin.
These details were fully observed by the attentive Xiao Qingyue, who then looked at her and smiled gently, "Your Highness, I'm fine. Please go in and rest quickly. Qingyue has already had refreshments prepared."
Feng Zhaoyun looked at the considerate man and nodded happily, "Yes! Let's go in."
After saying that, he followed Xiao Qingyue into the house without looking back, seemingly forgetting Feng Yunjin behind him. At this time, Feng Yunjin stood at the door, his aura suddenly cold.
Black Hawk was watching from the side. Why did he suddenly feel like laughing? No, he couldn't laugh. This Xiao Qingyue dared to snatch people from the master. Humph!
The three of them entered the main hall and sat at the same table. The atmosphere was very depressing and no one spoke.
Black Hawk, Jiuyi, and Zhuqing stood aside and looked at each other.
Jiuyi was wondering at this moment, if a fight broke out, should he attack Black Hawk first or Black Hawk first? Zhuqing's master was so gentle, so he would naturally help Master Xiao. Unlike Master Feng, he had beaten him before.
Black Hawk was looking at Zhu Qing. Humph, he looked just like his master, weak. If the fight started, he would show no mercy.
Zhu Qing looked at Jiuyi and Heiying with a puzzled look on their faces. The masters of these two people are not good people! Jiuyi's master made the young master sad, and Heiying's master is obviously not a good person. These two people are not good people either, they are both dog servants! Humph!
On this side, Feng Yunjin had a sullen face and looked straight at Xiao Qingyue. Xiao Qingyue gently waved her folding fan and looked at Feng Zhaoyun with tenderness.
Feng Zhaoyun sensed a bad atmosphere at the moment, lowered his head and didn't look at them. He picked up the pastry and bit it like a little mouse, thinking of a solution.
In her heart, she kept comforting herself, saying, "I'm a princess! I can have multiple husbands. That's right! I have nothing to feel guilty about."
I mustered up the courage to raise my head and was about to say something when the pastry got stuck in my neck, "cough cough cough..."
Xiao Qingyue quickly brought her a cup of tea and stroked her back with her hand, "Your Highness, eat slowly."
Feng Yunjin looked at this scene and put the teacup on the table with force, splashing water. "Your Highness, let's finish this as soon as possible and return to Beijing as soon as possible. I'm still waiting for you to ask for an imperial decree to grant the marriage and come to discuss the marriage." After saying this, he deliberately looked at Xiao Qingyue.
Xiao Qingyue's hands trembled noticeably after hearing this. "Your Highness...are you going to ask His Majesty for permission to marry Prince Feng?"
Feng Zhaoyun could see Xiao Qingyue's low mood, but she had promised Feng Yunjin that she would marry him. It was also true, and she couldn't let Feng Yunjin down. After all, Feng Yunjin had saved her when she was poisoned. "Qingyue... I promised Yunjin a long time ago that I would welcome him into the palace as the king."
Feng Yunjin heard this, and with a smile in his peach blossom eyes, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Qingyue. Xiao Qingyue was obviously shocked, and her heart inexplicably chilled. She felt heartache and lowered her head and stopped looking at Feng Zhaoyun.
Feng Zhaoyun didn't know what to do, and at this moment, the guard beside him came to report.
"Your Highness, we have asked Governor Yang to wait outside. Would you like to invite them in?" The guard knelt down and clasped his fists.
The scene was quiet for a while, and the frightened guard thought he might have reported something wrong.
Feng Yunjin took a sip of tea in a cheerful mood and said, "Your Highness, let's get down to business first."
Feng Zhaoyun looked at Xiao Qingyue, who was looking away with a blank look in her eyes. "Qingyue, I..."
Xiao Qingyue suddenly stood up and said, "Your Highness, I suddenly feel unwell and will go back to my room first." After saying that, she walked out of the main hall without looking back, her sleeves fluttering.
Feng Zhaoyun looked at his back and felt inexplicably sad and lonely. Was he really a bit of a scumbag?
After thinking about it, I decided to deal with the business first, "Let them in!"
Feng Yunjin looked at Xiao Qingyue's back and felt extremely happy. She was actually thinking about the person he liked, which was really overestimating her own abilities.
Afterwards, Governor Yang and other officials gathered in the main hall. Feng Zhaoyun sat at the top, and Feng Yunjin sat below her to her left.
Governor Yang stood up and saluted. "I heard that Her Highness the Princess fell into the water and disappeared a while ago. I was deeply worried. I wonder if Her Highness is doing well now?"
Feng Zhaoyun's beautiful eyes turned towards Governor Li and the others, who didn't dare to look up. Then they retracted their gaze. "I'm deeply grateful that Lord Yang cares so much, but I won't be able to swallow this anger until the thief who pushed me into this situation is dead!"
Governor Yang was stunned. "It was my fault. Ever since Her Royal Highness dismissed me from my position, I have been unemployed. If I were there, I would have killed the thief on Her Royal Highness's behalf."
Feng Yunjin picked up the teacup and took a sip, then shook his head and chuckled. This Yang and the current emperor are really a family, and she is really good at acting.
Feng Zhaoyun, however, had no expression on his face and looked straight at her, "Someone come here!"
Jiuyi clasped his fists and knelt down, "I'm here!"
"Pass on my orders. Quickly lead your troops to surround the residences of Governor Yang, Li, Zhang, and Zhou, and order them to search them immediately! Also, no one may leave this house today without my orders!"
"Yes!" Jiuyi took the order and went down, followed by Black Hawk.
Feng Yunjin knew before setting off that these corrupt officials would be difficult to deal with and it would be very difficult to find evidence of their corruption, so he asked Black Hawk to send people to arrive early and find the places where these corrupt officials hid their money.
Black Hawk brought the Duke's personal soldiers and followed Jiuyi to lead the way for her.
After hearing Feng Zhaoyun's words, the four people here were terrified and knelt on the ground. The others were all panicked. Governor Yang, on the other hand, remained calm. Seeing the other three people's incompetent appearances, he stood up and snorted softly, "Princess, I am the Governor of Jiangnan! The sister of the current emperor! If you want to investigate my residence, shouldn't you first petition His Majesty and obtain His Majesty's permission? You have arbitrarily used your personal soldiers to arrest court officials without His Majesty's order. Such behavior is outrageous!"
Feng Zhaoyun smiled faintly after hearing this. "I wonder if the crime of assassinating the princess is enough for me to kill you, a bunch of corrupt officials? So what if your brother is the emperor's husband? Even if I kill you here today, I will ask His Majesty, will your brother be able to save you in time?"
After hearing this, Governor Yang took two steps back and then knelt on the ground with a thud. After hearing this, Governor Li and others knelt on the ground weakly and lowered their heads.
After a while, Jiuyi led his men into the main hall. "Your Highness, the residences of Governor Yang, Li, Zhang, and Zhou have been searched. A large amount of stolen money has been found in the hidden rooms and other properties under their names."
They were all shocked that they had discovered their secret room in such a short time. Governor Yang looked dejected and said nothing.
Feng Zhaoyun raised his head calmly, "The evidence is here, my Lords, what else do you have to say?"
Magistrate Zhou tried to crawl towards Feng Zhaoyun, but was stopped by Jiuyi. "Your Highness! Your Highness! They are the ones who ordered me to do this! Please show some mercy and spare my life!"
Governor Li and Governor Zhang pointed at her in shock, "You!!"
Feng Zhaoyun didn't want to listen to the accusations between them, so he gestured to Jiuyi and took out a piece of paper with a bloody handprint on it. "Master Yang, this is the confession of the assassin you sent. Would you like to take a look?"
Governor Yang was stunned. "I demand to go to the capital! To see His Majesty! To redress my grievances! I am wronged!"
Feng Yunjin chuckled, "Oh? You, a damn official, reminded me!" Then he clapped his hands.
The personal guards of the Menwaigong Mansion stepped forward and held down the four people. Feng Yunjin stood up and walked in front of them.
Governor Yang looked at him fiercely, "I wonder how I have offended Master Feng?"
Feng Yunjin squatted down, with a face that captivated everyone, and said, "You dare to kill the person dear to my heart? How do you think I should treat you?"
Governor Yang and others looked at Feng Zhaoyun in shock. They had not expected that the Duke's Mansion had already colluded with Prince Zhan's Mansion.
Feng Yunjin stood up and said, "Push them into the yard and kill them all!"
"Yes!" The personal guards of the Duke's Mansion received the order and dragged the men to the yard regardless of their struggles.
The four of them finally collapsed. Governor Yang struggled, "Feng Yunjin! Feng Zhaoyun! Aren't you afraid my brother will kill you by doing this? My brother has the Third and Ninth Princesses. When he ascends the throne, he will definitely not spare you two!"
After Governor Yang finished speaking, the main hall and the courtyard fell silent, and everyone looked at Feng Zhaoyun.
Feng Zhaoyun gracefully rose from her seat and slowly walked toward the courtyard. Everyone looked at this stunningly beautiful woman standing in the middle of the courtyard, completely out of place in the atmosphere. But she calmly and decisively said, "Kill!"
The knives rose and fell, and the four heads fell to the ground, splattering blood all over the ground, and the blood splattered on Feng Zhaoyun's skirt.
County Magistrate Guo had been sitting in his seat in a daze the entire time. But when he saw the four heads fall to the ground, he stood up trembling with shock. It turned out that this wasn't just a foolish princess! He was blind. Prince Zhan had not only saved him, but also the people of Liushui County and the entire Jiangnan region. They no longer had to be persecuted by a few corrupt officials.
Feng Zhaoyun had never witnessed a murder before, and she was still frightened, completely losing her decisive aura. She took two trembling steps back, and Feng Yunjin took a big step forward and supported her.
County Magistrate Guo came out and knelt before her. "Your Highness, I thank you on behalf of all the people in Jiangnan! These four people have committed all kinds of evil, abused their power, and are all-powerful. The people are suffering terribly. I... on behalf of the people! Thank you!" After saying that, he kowtowed several times.
Feng Zhaoyun almost vomited and didn't care about County Magistrate Guo at all.
Feng Yunjin supported Feng Zhaoyun and said, "County Magistrate Guo, please step aside first. I will leave the affairs of Jiangnan to you for the time being. I don't want anyone else to know what happened here today."
After hearing this, County Magistrate Guo quickly said, "I obey your command. I will take my leave."
After saying that, he stepped back. Feng Yunjin asked someone to deal with the scene, and he picked up Feng Zhaoyun and went to the bedroom in the main courtyard.
