Chapter 528: How To Stir Up A Storm

One could deploy linguistic tricks during interrogation. This way, it was easy to avoid the important and focus on the trivial. When the interrogators were listening, they would get misled easily.

However, it was different when the testimony was written down. Every word and sentence was on paper, and after reading it twice, one would discover the problem.

Su Ying had given the task of interrogating others to the Imperial Guards. Now that she had caught the mastermind Zhou Xiangrong, she had to find out in detail how Zhou Xiangrong had stirred up such a storm.

Zhou Xiangrong’s face clouded over as she stared at the white paper before her. She really wanted to rip it into pieces and throw it at Su Ying’s face. No matter how much she tried to sound Su Ying out, Su Ying didn’t reveal a single thing. Did she really transmigrate here? And who was she before she transmigrated here?

If Zhou Xiangrong could confirm that Su Ying had transmigrated and find out her identity before she transmigrated, she would be better able to deal with the changes that might happen next.

Zhou Xiangrong felt that the useful information she was able to obtain was too little. As her thoughts were erratic, she unconsciously wrote some things down while penning the testimony.

Crack! Su Ying crushed a walnut with her bare hands and casually ate the contents.

“Do you want some too? You need to nourish your brain and see if you can think of something better to fool me,” Su Ying said.

Zhou Xiangrong looked at the walnut bits in front of her and her fingertips turned white from anger. “Whatever Your Imperial Highness wants to know, I will write it down in detail!”

“That’s the best.”

As she waited for Zhou Xiangrong to write, Su Ying displayed extreme patience. She waited until the sun was beginning to set in the west, sitting on her chair as steady as a rock and showing no signs of leaving.

Zhou Xiangrong wrote an outpouring of words on several sheets of paper. Whenever she finished writing one sheet, Su Ying would take one to read.

It was written on the paper that Zhou Xiangrong had woken up on the official road. This made Su Ying recall that murdered woman she had encountered on the official road previously. True enough, that woman was indeed Zhou Xiangrong.

“You were murdered. Why are there no scars on your body?”

Zhou Xiangrong hadn’t expected Su Ying to know about this matter, and she became even more bewildered.

“I used medicinal ointment to smooth out the scar.”

No wonder Su Ying didn’t see any scar on her body at that time. This woman was really meticulous and didn’t leave any clue that could expose her.

“What did you do before you came to this world, Your Imperial Highness?” Su Ying raised her eyebrows. Even now, this woman was still trying to get information out of her. “Zhou Xiangrong, I still don’t understand. What do you mean when you say ‘coming to this world’?”

The corner of Zhou Xiangrong’s lips twitched as she said, “It’s just me. I have hysteria. I have been suppressed by my stepmother for many years. I just want a chance to make my mark.”

Su Ying gave a scornful sneer. “Are you done writing?”

Zhou Xiangrong stopped writing and handed the paper to Su Ying. “I’m done.”

Su Ying took the last page and read it.

After a long time, she finally spoke faintly, “So you still refuse to admit that you were the one who brought the academy students into ruin? Looks like you’re a really tough nut to crack. Unfortunately, you bumped into me.”

Su Ying stood up and walked towards Zhou Xiangrong. She was like a ferocious beast slowly approaching its prey. Her every step was filled with an oppressive aura.

Zhou Xiangrong became terrified as she watched Su Ying and instinctively took two steps back.

At this moment, there was only one thought in her mind, and that was she must not die!

“Your Imperial Highness, please forgive me. It was me. I did everything. I confess to you. Please forgive me this time.”

When Su Ying was only a step away from her, Zhou Xiangrong abruptly admitted her guilt. However, just as she lowered her head, the powder in her hand was suddenly thrown at Su Ying.

Su Ying’s eyes widened abruptly as she quickly took a step back. Zhou Xiangrong took advantage of this opportunity to jump out of the window.

Su Ying’s almond-shaped eyes darkened as killing intent burst forth. So this woman knew martial arts.

After her!” Su Ying roared angrily and went in hot pursuit.

Zhou Xiangrong quickly fled to the back door of the academy. When she saw that the Imperial Guards were about to catch up, she dashed into a school dormitory and restrained one student inside.

“Everyone, don’t come over, or I’ll kill her!”

“Argh! Help, help…”

The student was terrified and screamed for help.

Zhou Xiangrong pressed the dagger in her hand against the student’s neck and forced the Imperial Guards to back away.

“Get out! Quickly!” Zhou Xiangrong exerted force, and the dagger cut the student’s neck. Beads of bright red blood began flowing down.

Su Ying rushed over and ordered all the Imperial Guards to back down. “Zhou Xiangrong, you can push your dagger forward a little more. You’re going to be buried with her anyway!”

When she saw that Su Ying didn’t care about the student’s life or death, Zhou Xiangrong raised her dagger and stabbed the student’s shoulder.

“Argh!”

The student screamed in pain.

The court ministers who had rushed over after hearing the news were all shocked. They were important officials of the Imperial Court, yet under so many people’s gazes, they didn’t do anything when the life of the hostage was at stake. If word of this got out, their reputation would be ruined.

“What is Your Imperial Highness doing? Hurry up and step back. We must not let her hurt innocent people!”

One minister ran over to block Su Ying and was just in time to block her hand that was about to strike. Su Ying was so angry that she gave his butt a vicious kick. “Get lost! Don’t get in my way!”

Upon seeing this, Zhou Xiangrong kicked the student to the ground and grabbed the minister who had been kicked to the ground. She then pressed the dagger against his neck.

“It’s worth it to let a court minister get buried with me! If you don’t want him to die, get out of the room. Otherwise, I’ll take his life now!”

Lord Liu!” The other officials panicked when they saw Lord Liu being held hostage. All of them stood in front of Su Ying and tried to persuade Zhou Xiangrong not to act rashly.

Zhou Xiangrong looked at these court ministers and gave a sinister laugh. “The

Empress wants me to take the blame in her place, so don’t blame me for fighting to the death. None of you can accuse me falsely!”

When they heard Zhou Xiangrong’s shout, the ministers turned to Su Ying in displeasure. All of them felt that there was something dreadfully wrong with Su Ying!

The veins on Su Ying’s forehead bulged non-stop as she kicked the person obstructing her aside and walked toward Zhou Xiangrong step by step.

Zhou Xiangrong didn’t expect Su Ying to be so stubborn. “Aren’t you afraid that

I’ll really kill him? He’s a court minister! If this guy really dies, the volume of memorials submitted in the Imperial Court to censure you can crush you to death!” Zhou Xiangrong’s dagger pressed closer against Lord Liu’s neck.

Su Ying gave a scornful sneer and slowly raised the dagger in her right hand. “I don’t even care about the Chu State. Why would I care about those idiots who only know how to talk?”

Before Su Ying had finished her sentence, her left hand, which had remained motionless all this while, suddenly made a move. The tranquilizer gun that she had prepared earlier shot Zhou Xiangrong’s hand that was holding the dagger. Zhou Xiangrong got a shock. When she came back to her senses, her body was no longer able to move.

Su Ying grabbed Lord Liu who had wet his pants from fright and threw him behind her. She went forward, grabbed Zhou Xiangrong by the hair, and lifted her whole body up. The dagger in her hand swiftly cut through the tendons of Zhou Xiangrong’s hands and feet.

Argh! The icy cold sensation was followed by an excruciating pain. Zhou

Xiangrong lost control and screamed in anguish.

As she glared at Su Ying, her eyes were filled with hatred and a bloodthirsty glint.

Su Ying’s almond-shaped eyes were frosty.. Those people always said that Su

Ying was a demon, but today, when she saw Zhou Xiangrong’s greed-consumed eyes, she realized that this was what a true demon looked like!
