I meet all the requirements for becoming a god in this world!

Last night, thanks to his supernatural ability to hear the wind, he only heard a few words in the study.

But it was only a short time.

Cheng Laiyun had a clear understanding of this aloof woman who "did not change a single word".

Stubborn, upright, and old-fashioned.

Being around such a person is bound to be restrictive and not very pleasant.

Therefore, even colleagues in officialdom would not like such a person.

However, when you are in trouble, when you are wronged and unjustly treated, such a person will surely be the righteous official who can save you!

And most importantly.

Cheng Laiyun heard clearly last night that the woman was currently worrying about the "Xuanzhu case".

At this moment, nothing you say will be as sensitive to this woman as the words "Xuanzhu"!

He felt a blur before his eyes.

The glaring sunlight was blocked by Gao Heyun's slender figure.

He didn't even see how the woman suddenly appeared in front of his prison cart from ten feet away.

"Was it you who spoke just now?"

The cold, clear voice, like ice colliding, clearly reached Cheng Laiyun's ears.

I looked up in a daze.

Cheng Laiyun got a clear look at the woman's face.

Then, this woman gained another label in his heart.

Top-notch.

This is different from the artificial beauty products on the internet in my previous life that rely on things like face slimming, injections, and beauty filters.

This woman doesn't wear makeup; she relies entirely on her hard work and talent!

Cheng Laiyun had not yet spoken.

Then a slightly flustered voice rang out from the side:

"Uh, Lord Gao."

"This kid is mute."

The man, dressed in black robes with a knife at his waist, bowed and scraped as he looked at Gao Heyun, revealing an extremely humble smile:

"This scoundrel, surnamed Zhou, has committed the heinous crime of murdering his private tutor and will be executed today."

He was the same Qi Dachuan, the head constable of Yong'an County, whom Cheng Laiyun had heard about framing him at the Dian Shi Xie last night.

Gao Heyun remained expressionless; her eyes, as if they had been infused with knives, were always so sharp.

She gazed indifferently at Cheng Laiyun, her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed:

"Dumb?"

It sounded like a question, but it was mostly a chill.

"Yes, yes, he's mute." Constable Qi Dachuan's shoulders slumped slightly, and his smile became even more humble.

But as he turned his head, his expression suddenly turned ugly. He looked at the bailiffs driving the prison cart and cursed:

"Hurry up with the prison cart! Don't let this filth offend Lord Gao's eyes!"

The voice carried an unceremonious urging.

The bailiffs driving the prison cart shrank back and quickly raised their whips to urge the prison cart away.

"I'll take my leave." Qi Dachuan turned back, grinned, gave Gao Heyun a simple and honest smile, bowed deeply, and then strode forward.

The prison van started moving, leaving Gao Heyun thoughtfully watching the dusty figure inside.

Cheng Laiyun had used all his strength to utter that first utterance.

He glanced at Qi Dachuan.

This is a testament to the wickedness and petty cleverness of such petty officials.

I have gained a clearer understanding.

Mentioning just the two words "master killer" was enough to instill a preconceived aversion in the woman opposite him.

If I were truly a mute who couldn't speak today, the consequences would be self-evident.

"What are you looking at?!"

"Don't be reborn as a human in your next life, it'd be better to be an animal!"

Qi Dachuan was already feeling guilty, and now, seeing Cheng Laiyun's sinister gaze, he felt a chill run down his spine and glared at him menacingly.

He grabbed the fire stick from the constable's hand and was about to stab Cheng Laiyun!

The prison van was cramped, leaving no room to dodge or the strength to hide.

Cheng Laiyun's lower abdomen took a solid hit from this blow.

He gave Qi Dachuan a cold glance.

Suppressing the pain, he looked up at the aloof woman and spoke with all his might:

"You didn't mishear me, did you?"

hoarse voice.

Qi Dachuan's expression changed drastically, and he stared intently at Cheng Laiyun.

He just couldn't understand it.

He clearly saw the kid eat the food mixed with the mute drug.

Now he can actually speak!

However, his reaction was quick; he suddenly looked up at the yamen runner driving the carriage and shouted:

"hurry up!!"

"Send this kid on his way!"

Qi Dachuan could only pray silently that Cheng Laiyun's words had not been heard by that person.

Upon hearing Qi Dachuan's words, the carriage was instinctively urged to move even faster.

At this moment, they were less than five zhang away from the execution ground.

The prison cart and its horse had already passed the execution ground gate!

Gao Heyun's figure had already drifted behind the constable at some point.

A fair hand slowly reached out and gently rested on the prison cart.

No matter how hard the bailiffs tried to whip the prison cart, it remained completely still.

She looked at the constable indifferently:

"Open the prison van."

"This..." Qi Dachuan's face was pale, and beads of sweat dripped down his forehead.

He stammered as he looked at Gao Heyun:

"Lord Gao, this... is against the rules..."

He responded to him.

It was a token that Gao Heyun took out from her bosom.

The token, neither gold nor wood, reflected an extremely bright arc of light under the dazzling sunlight.

The three large characters "Regent's Office" shone brightly on the token.

"I am the Provincial Surveillance Commissioner!"

After this token appeared.

The entire execution ground was silent.

"Crack!" The wooden cage of the prison cart broke.

Gao Heyun slowly withdrew her left hand, turned around and walked slowly towards the yamen.

Only a emotionless voice remained:

"To supervise all officials and to inspect the entire realm."

"To act first and report later is a privilege granted by imperial authority."

Cheng Laiyun looked at Gao Heyun's slightly thin figure in the sunlight.

A sense of understanding slowly emerged in my mind.

The matter of "Mysterious Pearl" was of great importance, and this woman was not in a position to ask questions in public. She was preparing to take him to a safe place.

Smart and cautious!!

"What are you standing there for?" a cute voice rang out.

Cheng Lai turned his head toward the source of the sound.

Then she saw the girl called "Jiayin" looking at her with her round eyes and slightly raised eyebrows:

"Aren't you going to catch up?"

The sunlight highlighted Jiayin's stunningly beautiful face.

"Oh! Thank you!" At this critical moment, Cheng Laiyun had no time to appreciate anything.

His eyes lingered on Xu Jiayin's swollen chest for only a second before he slowly crawled out of the prison van... He was too weak; he moved a little and then collapsed again...

"Whoa~"

Xu Jiayin glanced at the weak Cheng Laiyun with some disdain, and reluctantly took out a mysterious, square box from her bosom that exuded an ancient aura.

Gears are turning around the box.

"Click~ Click~"

In the blink of an eye, the box transformed into a "flying board" that floated in the air.

With a flick of her hand, Cheng Laiyun felt a dizzying sensation and was lying on the "flying board" in the next moment, chasing after Gao Heyun's back.

……

Watching the "flyboard" disappear into the distance.

The bailiff driving the prison cart approached Qi Dachuan and cautiously asked:

"Boss, what... what do we do?"

Qi Dachuan ignored the words of the yamen runner.

He just stared blankly at the flyboard.

I can see it clearly.

Cheng Laiyun, lying on the flyboard, struggled to turn his head.

She gave him a wicked smile.

"Pfft~"

Qi Dachuan's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

At that moment, only two words were on his mind.

"It's over..."

…………

County government office.

The study of Magistrate Wei Xianjun.

At this moment, there were three figures in the study.

Gao Heyun sat upright in the main seat, her sharply defined profile revealing a swan-like neck.

Her pale fingers rested on the scabbard of the sword in her bosom, her gaze sharp as a knife.

She was quietly observing the boy in prison clothes in front of her.

To Gao Heyun's right sat a pretty woman, none other than Xu Jiayin, the eldest daughter of the Xu family's cloth shop.

At this moment, Xu Jiayin was leisurely cracking a handful of melon seeds from her pouch at her waist, her big, round eyes curiously scrutinizing Cheng Laiyun's face.

Across from the two women, Cheng Laiyun was vigorously eating a bowl of rice that emitted a rich aroma.

"Hoo-hoo~"

The only sound in the room was the sound of him cooking.

Delicious! So delicious!

Cheng Laiyun could feel his weakened body slowly recovering.

During the meal, he also observed the two women.

I've actually seen two such beautiful and refined girls today.

The one on the left needs no introduction. With her noble and aloof temperament, coupled with her black robes and the scabbard at her waist, she exudes the aura of a cool and aloof queen, a shrewd and capable court elite.

Although the shorter one on the right is slightly less attractive.

But it's definitely just because I prefer mature, married women.

To people with different perspectives, she might be prettier.

Moreover, besides her face, her advantages are also very obvious.

"It's just low-grade spiritual rice... Is it really that delicious?"

Shen Jiayin looked at Cheng Laiyun's expression as he ate dry rice with some suspicion.

Cheng Laiyun chewed up the last grain of rice at the bottom of the bowl, then bowed to Xu Jiayin with an innocent smile.

"Thank you so much for the meal, young lady!"

This rice is amazing! He can feel his depleted body slowly recovering.

"What is your name?"

Gao Heyun, who was standing to the side, frowned slightly. She was thinking about the Xuanzhu case, so she spoke first.

In such a scenario.

Cheng Laiyun had already prepared his speech while on the way.

He calmly raised his hand in a salute, his voice hoarse as he said:

"Your Honor, I am Cheng Laiyun, from Chengjiazhuang, Qinglongshan, Yong'an County."

"I was originally an apprentice at Xu's Cloth Shop, but when I was on my way home to visit my family, I fell into a coma for three days while passing through Qinglong Mountain. As a result, Xu's Cloth Shop thought that I had betrayed my master and fled, and took me to the government for the crime of 'absconding from my master'. When I woke up, I was already in jail."

"Thus, the corrupt officials took the opportunity to poison me and make me mute... Fortunately, Heaven took pity on me; although the drug was poisonous, it did not take away my chance of survival."

Cheng Laiyun then stopped talking.

He knew that was enough.

The woman in front of me definitely knows what I'm talking about.

"Oh?"

A sharp glint suddenly flashed in Gao Heyun's eyes. She then looked down at the scabbard in her hand and spoke indifferently:

"I never imagined that such a blatant distortion of the truth and the persecution of the innocent could occur right under my nose."

At this point, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped several degrees.

A faint but palpable killing intent lingered in the room.

She is not a fool.

Qi Dachuan said this person's surname was "Zhou".

In the blink of an eye, he introduced himself as "Cheng Laiyun".

Clearly, she had witnessed far more corruption and depravity in officialdom than Cheng Laiyun had imagined.

Cheng Laiyun subconsciously shivered.

At the same time, he gained a new understanding of the person in front of him.

Decisive and efficient, a rose with thorns!

Cheng Laiyun's hand unconsciously touched his chin and gently stroked it.

He knew that he had already passed the critical moment of life and death when the woman in front of him said "harming the innocent".

But... that doesn't mean he's safe.

Because there's a second challenge ahead.

"Since you can speak of the profound truth, then tell me everything you know from the beginning."

Gao Heyun spoke calmly, her sharp eyes sweeping over Cheng Laiyun once more.

His calm tone conveyed a heavy sense of oppression.

At the same time, Xu Jiayin, who was sitting next to her, subconsciously sat up straight and pricked up her ears.

The speed at which he typed the characters "瓜" (gua) slowed down a bit.

coming!

Cheng Laiyun's eyes narrowed slightly.
