Teaming up with her mother to take revenge on the scumbags! The Crown Princess becomes the darling o

"You ambushed us?"

The leader of the men in black couldn't help but raise his voice eight octaves. They were supposed to be here to assassinate him, so why had they changed their tune?

"Humph, idiot!"

One sentence spurred the remaining two men in black to their breaking point. They hadn't intended to kill Zhang Tianyou, but since he had acted so ruthlessly, they couldn't blame themselves!

His eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he rushed over and stabbed at Zhang Tianyou inside the sedan chair.

As a result, a flash of silver light from the swords and blades, and they saw white powder being sprinkled on their faces. Instantly, they both screamed in pain, covering their faces, and even losing their grip on their swords.

"What! What did you scatter?"

"Snake venom powder! If there's no antidote within half an hour, death is certain!"

As he spoke, Zhang Tianyou stepped out of the sedan chair and looked at the corpse of the man in black on the ground without showing any fear.

Such a performance left Hai Yu, who was hiding in the shadows, completely stunned.

What happened to the claim that civil officials were weak and easily defeated?

This... this person was able to take down a team of royal guards without them even having to lift a finger. It's truly unexpected!

Therefore, he made a few hand gestures to his subordinates not to move around and to avoid interfering if possible. Judging from Lord Zhang's fighting prowess, tomorrow's court will definitely be exciting!

Under the moonlight, Zhang Tianyou's face was filled with dread.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a demon from hell. He looked down at the two men in black writhing on the ground in pain and said in a stern voice.

"Go back and tell Prince Jin, if he has the guts, let's meet in court tomorrow. He won't resort to these underhanded tricks! Humph! Shameful!"

"You! The prince will never forgive you!"

One of the men in black retorted, but unfortunately, Zhang Tianyou showed not a trace of worry or fear. He then laughed loudly and said...

"Of those who dare to speak out, how many are afraid of death? I will risk my life to ensure that the Prince Jin's mansion does not let this matter rest!"

Their attitude was so firm that it left no room for argument.

With no other option, the men in black were unable to succeed and could only leave in a sorry state. After they had run away, the few servants who had fled for their lives emerged from the dark alley and awaited their orders.

"Go and report to the City Defense Command. Tell them that Prince Jin hired someone to assassinate a high-ranking official in the street. There are witnesses and physical evidence. If they dare to conceal anything, I will impeach the City Defense Command next!"

"Yes, sir."

Afterwards, Zhang Tianyou threw off his official robes and returned to his sedan chair. The servants carried him back to the mansion. He looked calm and composed, as if he had rehearsed the whole thing many times. Haiyu, who was watching from the shadows, admired this official very much.

No wonder few dare to confront him head-on. He originally thought he couldn't win in words, but now it seems he can't win in a fight either!

Those who can serve as censors are indeed those with both a strong tongue and a tough life, only they can withstand such pressure.

They split into two groups. One group guarded the body until the city defense officers came to take over before quietly leaving. The other group silently escorted Zhang Tianyou back to his residence and then staked out the vicinity to protect his safety.

The study light remained on until dawn.

Haiyu had no idea what Lord Zhang was doing in his study, but as dawn broke, he came out looking refreshed, carrying three thick volumes of memorials in his hands. His steps were firm, and his eyes were piercing, clearly heading to the "battlefield"!

For a fleeting moment, Haiyu thought Prince Jin was doomed!

But at the same time, he was also warning himself not to mess with this lone official Zhang Yanguan!

Inside the main hall, the old emperor felt a terrible headache.

Zhang Tianyou rattled off a long list of crimes committed by the Prince Jin's mansion. Any one of them could be considered either deceiving the emperor or abusing the people; in short, they were all serious crimes.

If it's decided, even the extermination of the entire clan wouldn't be enough.

Prince Jin, red-faced and furious, retorted a few times, but was closely watched by the other officials, who wished they could form a protective group around Zhang Tianyou so that he could continue to "accuse" him!

The court officials avoided the group of censors led by Zhang Tianyou, so few were willing to stand up and say a word in defense of Prince Jin.

The Crown Prince has already assumed the regency and is now standing beside the dragon throne.

With sword-like eyebrows that reached his temples, a straight nose, and a broad face, his cold gaze created an icy aura around him. Although he was trying to restrain himself, his nobility and majesty were unmatched by others. In comparison, even the emperor seemed rather old and frail.

Looking expressionlessly at the situation he had single-handedly created, Shen Song'an felt no remorse whatsoever.

Zhang Tianyou was so engrossed in his accusations that he was practically foaming at the mouth before he finally stopped to deliver his concluding remarks.

"Therefore, I believe that the crimes of Prince Jin's family are heinous. If Your Majesty does not punish them severely, I fear that other members of the imperial clan will follow suit, and then the century-old foundation of our Great Long will be destroyed by these parasites! Your Majesty!"

He knelt down as he spoke, his eyes reddening with emotion.

When he knelt, the officials who were in charge of remonstrance also knelt down. Emperor Gaozu once said: "Do not kill officials who are in charge of remonstrance." Therefore, he also gave the officials great power. Even if Your Majesty does not implement benevolent governance, they will still bring their heads to remonstrate!

"Your Majesty, you should not easily believe Zhang Tianyou's malicious remarks!"

Prince Jin also knelt down, and beads of sweat never stopped forming on his forehead.

Zhang Tianyou is certainly despicable, but the solid evidence he has is not fake. However, since ancient times, members of the royal family have enjoyed various rights. They have simply expanded upon the rights of their fathers. How can they be convicted and severely punished?

I'm not convinced!

But he couldn't come up with a better excuse. Seeing his frustrated and anxious look, Haibo Hou felt all the anger in his chest disappear for the first time!

"Hmph, Princess Changning harmed their family back then, now it's time for them to taste what it's like to be beaten down," he said, stepping forward and clasping his hands in a loud voice.

"Your Majesty, every single accusation made by Minister Zhang is well-founded and legally sound. I also believe that it would be difficult to appease public anger if he is not severely punished! I beg Your Majesty to issue an order for a thorough investigation. I am willing to take responsibility for this matter and will not be biased or protective!"

The feud between the Marquis of Haibo's mansion and the Prince of Jin's mansion was known to everyone in the imperial court.

"If we hand it over to the Marquis of Hai for investigation, it would be better to sentence him directly," Prince Jin said coldly, glancing back at the Marquis of Hai.

"What? Is Marquis Haibo trying to plead for his son's innocence? When your son was morally corrupt and ruined his reputation, why did you hide at home pretending to be sick and not attending court? You almost caused my Changning to fall into the wolf's den. Now you want to vent your anger?"

"You! Stop spouting nonsense! Has my son ever been engaged to your Princess Changning? What do you mean by 'stumbling into a wolf's den'? That's utter nonsense!"

Marquis Haibo was a military general, so naturally he was no match for the shrewd Prince Jin.

Using this as an excuse, Prince Jin pretended to try to frame these matters in the dispute between the two families. Once the waters were muddied, Prince Jin's mansion would have a chance to escape.

Just as he was about to speak, Zhang Tianyou chased after him and started hitting him.
