Shocking! The killer traveled through time and space and became a female Shura, killing like crazy

The next morning, the sun shone on Shen Xue's sedan. Her face was slightly pale, but her eyes were firm.

The guards took Huichun and the troublemakers and followed closely beside the sedan chair. The group went to the Jingzhao Prefecture government office in a mighty manner.

Suddenly, a group of beggars came towards them and deliberately bumped into the sedan bearer, forcing the sedan to stop. Su Mo and the other three stood guard beside the sedan.

Han Lin and his companions looked at the beggars warily. Huichun was startled and subconsciously hid behind the guards.

Han Lin looked at everything in front of him with deep and sharp eyes and ordered: "Protect the county lady."

"Yes."

At this time, several beggars quickly moved to the side of the guards, trying to attack Huichun.

The guards reacted quickly and immediately saw through the intention, and the two sides instantly engaged in a fierce fight.

The guards were agile and engaged in a desperate fight with the beggars. Their moves were sharp and each one was full of power. Under the guards' fierce resistance, the beggars gradually lost the upper hand.

Just when they were about to resist, a team of patrolmen arrived and they had to give up the attack and flee the scene.

Ji Yanheng, commander of the patrol camp, ordered people to capture the escaped assassins.

Shen Xue calmly emerged from the sedan chair, looking at the fleeing assassins with a slight frown. It was obvious someone had done this deliberately, their goal being to prevent Huichun from going to Jingzhao Prefecture to testify.

There is no need to say who gave the order, everyone knows it.

Ji Yanheng, the commander of the patrol camp, came to Shen Xue to bow and apologize, and said that he would get to the bottom of the matter.

Shen Xue nodded slightly, indicating that it was okay.

The sedan bearers carried the sedan chair and continued to move towards the gate of Jingzhao Prefecture.

When they arrived at the Jingzhao Prefecture government office, Su Mo and Su Luo carefully helped Shen Xue out.

Su Yu walked quickly to the drum, picked up the drumstick and struck it hard.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The drumbeats echoed loudly in the quiet streets, attracting many people to come and watch.

The yamen runner heard the drumbeat and rushed out to check. When he saw Shen Xue, Han Lin and the others, he was surprised.

A yamen runner shouted, "Hurry and report to Lord Su!"

After a while, Su Jinnian came to the main hall from the back court.

Su Mo and Su Yu helped the injured Shen Xue to the center of the lobby. Shen Xue knelt down and looked at Lord Su with a firm and confident look.

"Who is here? Please tell me your name immediately."

"I am the County Master Shen Xue, and I am honored to meet Master Su."

"Tell me all your grievances."

"This county lady is suing He Qinghuan, the daughter of Censor He, and also Zhou He, the daughter-in-law of Zhou Jianda, the eldest son of the Hanlin Academy. She has spread malicious rumors and slandered the reputation of this minister. Please, sir, give me justice."

Su Jinnian frowned slightly, fully aware of the far-reaching implications of this matter. While Shen Xue had no one to rely on, she held the titles of County Master and Great Qi's First Female Saint Hand. She was also the younger sister of the late Princess Mu, a status that gave her considerable influence in the capital and before the Emperor.

The other party is the First-Rank Left Censor and the Hanlin Academy. These two adults are in high positions and have great power. If they handle the matter improperly, they will offend the entire court civil servants and will definitely be restrained by the Censorate in the future.

Thinking of this, he groaned inwardly, feeling torn and sighed deeply.

In court, evidence comes first.

So he asked, "Do you have any evidence to prove that He Qinghuan was responsible? If you are accusing me of something, I will not forgive you."

"The witness is Huichun. She was He Qinghuan's maidservant who came with her as a dowry. He Qinghuan ordered her to bribe several people with silver to go to the gates of the Princess's Mansion, the First-Class Pavilion, and the Imperial Medical College to slander and utter obscene words against the Princess."

Shen Xue asked Huichun to come forward and tell her everything that happened that day, including the details of how the slanderous words spread.

Huichun spoke clearly and without any flaws.

At this time, there were many people watching outside the hall, and they were talking about He Qinghuan's vicious crimes.

Shen Xue hadn't married yet, and her reputation being ruined was a fatal blow to her.

Lord Su ordered the yamen runners to go to Zhou's house to summon He Qinghuan, and they confronted each other in the court.

After the morning court session, Censor He waited in his study for news about the assassins, but no good news came.

Zhao Hui hurried over, "Master, the assassination attempt on the street failed, and the young lady has been summoned to the Jingzhao Prefecture Court."

Censor He roared, "What's the point of keeping you, a bunch of useless people? You can't even handle a weak slave."

Censor He, with a gloomy face, handed a stack of banknotes to Zhao Hui and instructed, "Go to the court in person to help the young lady and give these banknotes to Lord Su. If Su Jinnian still wants to stay in his position as the prefect of Jingzhao, he should know how to deal with it."

"When Huichun is taken to prison, you will send someone to sneak in and quietly send her off. Then make her sign a confession. Her suicide out of fear of punishment has nothing to do with others. Without witnesses, I want to see how Shen Xue wins the case. A traitorous slave deserves death."

Zhao Hui received the order and hurried to the Jingzhao Prefecture government office.

When the Second Prince learned that Shen Xue had sued He Qinghuan, he smiled with appreciation.

He hated everyone associated with the eldest prince and Concubine He. Furthermore, Shen Xue had saved his life, so he had to lend a hand to her. The enemy of my enemy was my friend, not to mention her savior.

He smiled slyly and ordered, "Ye Chen, Shen Xue saved this prince in Huayang County. Go to the court. If Lord Su dares to protect the He family, report this matter directly to the emperor. Make the matter bigger. Let the people of the capital and the civil and military officials see the true face of the He family and see how Censor He and the eldest prince will end up."

"I obey my orders."

On this side, the yamen runners came to Zhou's house to explain their purpose. When Mr. Zhou learned what his daughter-in-law had done, he was very angry, but the family prospers and suffers together.

If He Qinghuan loses in court, the entire He and Zhou families will become the target of public criticism. The emperor will definitely be furious when he learns about this. He cannot lose his position as a Beijing official even though he hasn't even warmed up yet.

After much thought, Lord Zhou decided to let his eldest son go with him to let the He family know that they valued He Qinghuan as a daughter-in-law, and to calm the matter down as soon as possible to prevent it from getting bigger and bigger.

Although Zhou Xiao was usually dissatisfied with He Qinghuan's arrogant and domineering personality, he still stood by her at the critical moment.

When He Qinghuan arrived at the court, she saw Shen Xue kneeling there and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Lord Su slammed the gavel and asked He Qinghuan whether he was spreading rumors and slander as Huichun said.

In the court, the three girls knelt on the ground, but He Qinghuan pretended to be innocent and denied it.

Zhao Hui came to the back court and stuffed the silver note into the lawyer's hand. The lawyer looked at Zhao Hui with some embarrassment, but Zhao Hui whispered a few words in the lawyer's ear. The lawyer had to accept the silver note and slowly walked to Lord Su's side and whispered a few words.

Lord Su's expression changed slightly, then returned to normal in an instant. Han Lin and the others saw it all. He smiled coldly but said nothing.

Lord Su slammed the gavel again. "Huichun was a servant who betrayed her master. Her one-sided statement alone is not enough to convict her. I must investigate this case carefully and make a judgment after the investigation is complete."

"Come here, take this servant Huichun to the prison to await trial."

"Wait a minute..."

At this time, Ye Chen walked into the court and said loudly: "Master Su, the Second Prince heard that there was a trial in court today, and specially ordered me to come and listen. If there is any unfair execution, I must report it to the emperor."

"The Second Prince said that Shen Xue had been kind to the people of Huayang County and was his savior. If anyone attempts to distort the truth, the Second Prince will not forgive them."

Lord Su was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. He wanted to delay the trial and wait for the servant to commit suicide in the dungeon, and then close the case hastily. Even if Shen Xue was dissatisfied and the witness committed suicide in the dungeon out of fear of punishment, it would be of no avail.

He didn't expect that the second prince would suddenly appear and intervene in this matter, catching him off guard. How could he, a third-rank civil servant, dare to compete with a prince?

He suddenly felt that his situation was too difficult. There was pressure from the censor above him, and another prince. More importantly, if the matter was not handled properly, his official position would be in jeopardy if the emperor got the news.

After careful consideration, he still did not dare to offend the prince, so he could only handle the matter impartially.

He Qinghuan's face turned pale instantly, and Zhou Xiao secretly thought that something was wrong. Zhao Hui hurried back to report to Censor He.

Lord Su clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you, Second Prince, for your concern for this case. I will handle this matter impartially and will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor will I let a bad person go."
