Substituting for My Brother at Court, the Entire Civil and Military Court Joined Me in Gossiping 7 min read 123 of 192 60

Inside the prefect’s prison, several “melon-eating spectators” squatted in the dark corner, staring at one another with faces full of regret.

“You coward! You actually betrayed the heroine!”

One of them glared furiously at his companion.

The man shrank his neck miserably.

“I didn’t want to either! But they had a blade at my throat! That cold gleaming knife scared my legs weak!”

Another person lowered his voice mysteriously, his eyes filled with awe.

“The heroine is so capable… maybe she came from…”

He pointed toward the roof.

Someone else was so anxious he was nearly crying, his voice trembling.

“Then won’t we suffer heavenly punishment? We offended a fairy! We’re doomed for real this time! I still have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child at home!”

“Stop talking nonsense!”

The person beside him hurriedly interrupted.

“Didn’t you see her skills just now? That was absolutely smooth and effortless! Saving people was easy for her. Those soldiers who chased after her probably couldn’t last even one exchange!”

“Exactly, exactly!”

Hope flickered in another person’s eyes.

“She’s the only one who can save us now! The heroine will definitely come back—I have a strong feeling about it!”

Meanwhile, at the entrance of Broken Tile Alley—

More than a dozen soldiers holding torches and riding tall horses surrounded Feng Zexuan’s group of four.

The captain of the guards coldly ordered:

“Take the suspects away!”

Feng Zexuan swept a glance across the group and curled her lips into a disdainful sneer.

【That’s all they sent to capture me?】

【They really don’t know what’s good for them!】

Without wasting words, she attacked directly.

In just a few moves, every soldier was knocked to the ground, cries of pain rising one after another.

【System, how did these people track us down so quickly?】

【Host, the crowd who followed along for Liu Tiezhu’s gossip this morning got caught watching the excitement outside the prefect’s office. To save themselves, they confessed your whereabouts immediately.】

Feng Zexuan twitched at the corner of her mouth.

【Sure enough, relying on gossip-loving bystanders to keep a secret is harder than expecting pigs to climb trees or roosters to lay eggs!】

【What a spineless bunch!】

The elderly Liu couple watched Feng Zexuan single-handedly take down so many fully armed soldiers and were too shocked to close their mouths.

At the same time, they worried that rescuing their son would bring disaster upon her.

The old woman spoke with a face full of concern:

“Good child, thank you for saving my son. We’ll never forget this kindness.”

“But this place is far too dangerous. You should leave quickly! Don’t throw your own life away because of us!”

Seeing the worry in their eyes, Feng Zexuan comforted them.

“Don’t worry. Small fry like these can’t trouble me.”

After speaking, she took out a money pouch from her space and handed it to Wang Qi’an.

“You really can’t stay here long. Take these two hundred taels.”

“You should leave for the capital first thing tomorrow morning.”

【Protecting geniuses is everyone’s responsibility!】

After thinking for a moment, Wang Qi’an solemnly accepted the pouch.

“You’re not coming with us?”

“Soon enough. I’ll play around for another couple of days before heading back.”

Feng Zexuan waved her hand casually, a crafty gleam flashing through her eyes.

【There’s still gossip I haven’t finished enjoying yet!】

【I absolutely have to personally witness that pervert Zhang Jian’s ending for it to feel satisfying!】

Thinking of the almost miraculous skills she had displayed earlier, Wang Qi’an didn’t say anything more.

“Thank you for saving my life, Miss. In the future, Qi’an will definitely become the upright and honest official you wish for.”

“I’ll also repay this money many times over.”

“As you like.”

“Oh right, you really don’t suspect they aren’t your parents?”

Feng Zexuan asked curiously.

Wang Qi’an shook his head, his gaze firm.

“I had nothing at all, yet you still rescued me out of chivalry. Of course I trust you.”

“And the moment I saw them, I felt they really were my parents.”

【‘Blood is thicker than water’ really isn’t nonsense after all!】

【Looks like my judgment was right—this kid’s character is pretty good!】

【Host, that was my judgment, okay?!】

Feng Zexuan: ……

“Alright then, see you in the capital!”

After saying goodbye to the three of them, Feng Zexuan returned directly to Wangyue Tower.

【Host, you’re not going to rescue that group? That doesn’t seem like your style! You’re usually overflowing with justice!】

【Are their lives in danger?】

【Not for now. They’re just locked up.】

【Then what’s the rush? Even rescuing people requires balancing work and rest, okay?】

【Besides, letting them reflect a little in prison isn’t a bad thing!】

The next day, when the sun was already high in the sky, Feng Zexuan leisurely enjoyed morning tea while the system excitedly reported:

【Host, huge gossip! Prefect Zhang invited half the city’s doctors to his residence in hopes of reconnecting his manhood!】

【Now the whole city knows his precious root was severed completely! Everyone’s talking about it in the streets and alleys!】

【Hahaha! Sure enough, good news never leaves the house, but bad news travels a thousand miles!】

Feng Zexuan nearly choked on her tea.

【And there’s more! Prefect Zhang had the Wang family all thrown into prison, and they’re currently being tortured harshly!】

【Those twin brats are probably regretting it so badly their intestines have turned green by now!】

【Host, your plan worked perfectly!】

【Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter!】

【What “plan”? This is called karmic retribution!】

【They brought it on themselves—can’t blame anyone else!】

After finishing her morning tea, Feng Zexuan happily wandered over to Prefect Zhang’s residence to watch the drama unfold.

Lying atop the roof and peeking down, she saw Zhang Jian sprawled on the bed, howling miserably. The sight was pitiful beyond words.

“My precious root! Which one of you can reconnect it?! I’ll give him one hundred thousand taels of silver! No—one million!”

The doctors’ eyes gleamed with greed, wishing they could instantly become miracle healers, yet none of them could do anything.

“Apologies, my lord. If only half had been cut off, I might still have been able to treat it. But this was torn out by the root…”

“Even Hua Tuo himself returning to life couldn’t save it!”

“Trash! All of you are trash! Get out! Bring in someone else!”

Zhang Jian gnashed his teeth and screamed hoarsely.

Wave after wave of doctors arrived, and every one of them could only shake their heads and sigh.

“Those damned Wang family members—torture them to death for me! Especially those two little bastards! Make them wish they were dead!”

His eyes overflowed with venomous hatred.

【Hahaha, this is too satisfying!】

Feng Zexuan watched gleefully, feeling incomparably refreshed.

【It’s already severed beyond repair, yet he still dreams of recovering?】

【Even with advanced modern medicine, the odds would be slim—let alone in this era!】

Then she remembered Zhang Jian offering a reward of one million taels…

【That old bastard must have embezzled plenty of the people’s hard-earned money!】

【Since that’s the case, I’ll uphold justice on heaven’s behalf and confiscate all these ill-gotten gains!】

She quietly slipped into the study and, following the system’s detailed guidance, collected all evidence of Zhang Jian’s corruption and bribery.

Account books, letters, lists of gold and silver—nothing was left behind.

【Hmph, you scum. Just wait for your whole clan to be executed! These crimes are enough to sentence you to death ten times over!】

Then she wandered into the treasury. The moment she saw the room filled with priceless treasures, her eyes lit up.

【My space is huge now—I can store anything, hehe.】

【If I don’t get rich from this, all my hard work would be wasted!】

Box after box of gold and silver, pearls and agate, antiques and paintings, luxurious silks and satins—everything imaginable was there.

Without the slightest politeness, she swept everything into her space, moving with the efficiency of a professional.

【I’m rich! I’m rich! This haul is insanely profitable!】

【System, how long can all this money support my luxurious lifestyle?】

【Host, judging by your current spending habits, this is enough for you to live extravagantly for ten lifetimes with money to spare!】

【Ten lifetimes? Then can’t I just lie flat until the seas dry up and the rocks crumble?】

【Just thinking about it is exciting!】

Finally, in an excellent mood, Feng Zexuan arrived at the prison entrance.

【Forget it. Since they were forced into it, I won’t hold it against them anymore!】

【After all, I’m rich now, so I should be a little more magnanimous!】
