Transmigrated into a Prosperous Farm Wife, Pampered, Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Prime Minister

Seeing that these people were completely ignoring her, Lin Shuyun took the initiative to try to make her presence known.

"Who are you! What are you doing, hiding your face like that?!"

The man was startled, only then realizing that a short man had followed Xu, the prefect, into the room.

He hadn't even noticed this person just now.

Prefect Xu only then realized that he had been kidnapped by this man, but after entering, he was so enraged by the adulterous couple that he almost forgot about this man.

Lin Shuyun spoke in a high-pitched voice, "Of course I'm an accomplice invited by Lord Xu. You two adulterers are shameless! You even tried to kill me to silence me after Lord Xu found out!"

"The world is going to the dogs, and people's hearts have lost their traditional values!"

Xu, the prefect, who thought he was going to die, realized that this person hadn't killed him, but had just taken him hostage so that he could discover the truth; otherwise, he would have remained in the dark.

Could it be that this person is here to help him?

So Prefect Xu made a quick decision: "You kill him for me! I'll give you whatever you want! I have money, I'll give you 100,000 taels! Kill this thief for me!"

"Really? Then I'll take it seriously! The money's ready!" Lin Shuyun said with a greedy look.

As he spoke, he pulled a dagger from his waist.

Seeing this, the man picked up the teapot on the table and started fighting with Lin Shuyun.

This man had some skill, but against Lin Shuyun, it was like an ant against an elephant. He was trampled underfoot after just two moves.

"Lord Xu, here's 100,000 taels!" Lin Shuyun reached out for the money.

This was a job that Magistrate Xu had personally hired him; he might as well take the money.

When Magistrate Xu saw that this man was so skilled in martial arts that he could trample him underfoot in the blink of an eye, he immediately abandoned his plan to shout and attract his servants to capture him.

Moreover, he didn't want his servants to see his family's dirty laundry.

This is Guo Zhen's room. We started rummaging through Guo Zhen's jewelry box.

The jewelry box was opened and it was filled with a dazzling array of jewels, with silver notes pressed underneath.

Prefect Xu grabbed a handful of silver notes without even counting them, and handed them directly to Lin Shuyun.

Guo Zhen, who had been observing the situation, rushed forward to stop them, saying, "Sir, that was a gift from you! How can you just give it to someone else!"

Prefect Xu flung her away, yelling, "Get out, you slut! I must have been blind to spoil such a worthless thing like you! And the bastard in your belly won't live either!"

If it weren't for this person, he wouldn't have known that his head was already glowing green.

Guo Zhen collapsed to the ground, clutching her stomach, looking pitifully at Prefect Xu.

"My lord, please listen to me. This man coerced me. I am truly carrying your child. I only said that to deceive him. Believe me, the child is innocent! The child is truly sincere towards you!"

Enraged, Prefect Xu kicked Guo Zhen, whose clothes were disheveled. "Do you think I'm a fool? If this young hero hadn't come in, I would be dead! Honestly, I think you're heartless!"

"Young hero, kill him, and I'll give you another fifty thousand taels!"

Prefect Xu pointed at the man being trampled underfoot.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shuyun brandished the dagger against the man's neck, "Fifty thousand taels! I'd really like to earn that money!"

The man's expression changed drastically. "You, surnamed Xu, if you dare to kill me, you'll offend the Empress in the palace! Your position as prefect will be over!"

"You have connections with people in the palace!"

Prefect Xu was also surprised to find that this adulterer had such a powerful background.

"Your Highness in the palace, I didn't expect you to have such a powerful backer! But tell me which Your Highness it is, and I might consider sparing your life!"

Lin Shuyun was also curious about his background.

To avoid ending up like a string of fish, killing one only to have another appear, we need to find out the truth first.

A moment of hesitation flashed in the man's eyes, and taking advantage of that moment of hesitation, the dagger was plunged directly into his thigh in the next second.

The moment he screamed, Lin Shuyun picked up her clothes from the ground and stuffed them into his mouth, preventing him from making a sound.

The man's face contorted in pain as he yanked the clothes out of his mouth.

"Consort Lan! It's Consort Lan!"

Lin Shuyun raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

Consort Lan? Who does she think she is? I don't know her.

However, she hadn't forgotten the purpose of her trip, so she simply pulled down the bed curtains and tied all three of them together back to back.

Prefect Xu was stunned. "Young hero, we have no grudge against each other. I'll give you the money if you kill this man. Why did you tie me up?!"

Lin Shuyun moved a stool, sat down in front of the three of them, and sneered.

"Shut up! What are you babbling about! I'm going to start asking questions now, and you're all just going to answer me, or I'll send you all to the afterlife if I get upset!"

He then pointed at Guo Zhen, "You're the first one. Did you instigate Prefect Xu to ruin Jiang Changtian's academic record?"

"Are you Jiang Changtian?"

Guo Zhen suddenly glared at Lin Shuyun with hatred, "You're the one who killed my father! And my brother too! I'm avenging them, so what! Am I wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong, you didn't do anything wrong."

Lin Shuyun slapped him hard across the face.

"But I'm not Jiang Changtian. I'm a hero who helps those in need. Did you think you could get away with it without anyone noticing? Didn't you ever think that justice will prevail? Well, here comes the retribution on your own head!"

After saying that, he slapped Guo Zhen several times across the face, leaving Guo Zhen's face completely disfigured.

Who would be foolish enough to leave their real name when it comes to murder and robbery? Jiang Changtian's name can't be left either.

“You’re next! What is Consort Lan sending you to this place for?!” Lin Shuyun pointed at the adulterer.

The man had injured his leg and was in so much pain that he grimaced but dared not make a sound, for fear that Lin Shuyun would kill him on the spot.

Hearing this, he was only slightly slow to reply when another knife was plunged into his thigh.

When Lin Shuyun made the incision, she avoided the major artery, causing excruciating pain that was worse than death, yet the person was not truly dead.

The man was sweating profusely and gritted his teeth as he answered, "I don't know either. Consort Lan told me to keep watch here, and if anyone suspicious appears, have the Guo family deal with them immediately."

"So you've been in cahoots with Guo Zhen all along, and you were involved in ruining someone's academic record?!"

Lin Shuyun stroked her chin.

Could it be that Consort Lan is the culprit who harmed the young general, and that's why she sent people to lie in wait here?

"I don't know, it's none of my business, I don't know any Jiang Changtian at all!" The man rolled his eyes, wanting to faint but unable to, anxiously explaining, afraid that if he answered too slowly he would be stabbed in the back again.

"You're next," Lin Shuyun said, pointing to Prefect Xu.

Prefect Xu trembled with fear, crying out, "Spare me! Spare me! I was just confused for a moment, and I was instigated by this adulterer. I will never dare to do it again! I will never dare to do it again!"

Without saying a word, Lin Shuyun stuffed something into Magistrate Xu's mouth and started stabbing him with a knife and slicing meat.

It was bloody and terrifying.
