Chapter 367 Shen Li, you are shameless!

When she saw Wu Zihao again, he was still pale and had dark circles under his eyes. When he looked at her, his eyes could almost spit fire.

Shen Li was quite displeased with his gaze and narrowed her eyes slightly.

Upon seeing that familiar gaze, Wu Zihao immediately turned his head away, no longer daring to meet her eyes.

Shen Li ignored this unattractive and useless thing.

In the second hall, Cheng Sheng, dressed in official robes and wearing a black gauze hat, was already seated behind the table. Upon seeing the two approaching, he ordered the yamen runners to provide Shen Li with a seat.

"Cheng Sheng, you dare to openly show favoritism. Believe me, an impeachment memorial will be sent to the Emperor's desk tomorrow." Wu Zihao was still angry because Shen Li had bullied him, so he turned around and vented his anger on Cheng Sheng.

In his view, anyone with a lower rank than his father was a minor official and could be bullied at will.

After understanding the emperor's intentions, Cheng Sheng remained neither humble nor arrogant, only coldly asking, "Tell me, where has this official shown favoritism?"

"Why does she have a seat while I don't?"

"Lord Shen is a top scholar in the imperial examination. The emperor's students do not bow to officials. Don't you know that?" Cheng Sheng's voice remained cold.

Shen Li knew that Cheng Sheng was a shrewd person, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hold the position of Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture. Judging from his attitude, she could roughly tell Emperor Cheng's attitude.

It seems the emperor isn't senile yet; although he dotes on Consort Zheng, he doesn't want to relinquish his power.

He was trying to put pressure on the King of Chess by putting pressure on the Wu family.

The old woman probably wanted to give her a good talking-to, but she was prepared for it; there was nothing about her that couldn't be investigated.

Wu Zihao seemed to only then remember that Shen Li was an official, and unless she was dismissed, there was no need to perform a grand ceremony.

He was furious, and sooner or later he would make sure Shen Li lost her official position.

"Kneel down properly." Cheng Sheng slammed the gavel down heavily and said solemnly, "Defendant Wu Zihao, confess what you did yesterday."

Wu Zihao was startled. He thought that his identity would bring him protection and favor wherever he went, but the sound of the gavel made him realize his current situation.

At this point, he was a prisoner.

Thanks to Cheng Sheng's impartial interrogation, the proceedings went very smoothly. Wu Zihao and the other playboys confessed truthfully, believing that these were not serious crimes and that they would be fined at most and released once their families found out.

Of course, while explaining his own actions, Wu Zihao also accused Shen Li of ordering her subordinates to beat people.

“As for what you’re saying, Lord Cheng, I admit to hitting someone, but I acted in retaliation under extreme fear. Although it is illegal, it is understandable.” Shen Li cupped his hands and said, “Please investigate, Lord Cheng.”

"Terrified?" Wu Zihao almost jumped up from the ground when he heard those two words come out of Shen Li's mouth. Finally, he pointed at her with a grimacing grin, his wound reopening, and said, "You're talking nonsense! Where are you terrified!"

He remembered Shen Li's expression at the time; she was very calm, and although she was somewhat angry, she was more arrogant.

"Your horse frightened me." Shen Li looked at him, her tone light: "Is it wrong for me to be afraid of horses?"

Not only Wu Zihao, but all the other playboys looked at Shen Li in disbelief. How could someone who had fought on the battlefield several times be afraid of horses? This wasn't just making up stories; it was bullying.

"Shen Li, you're shameless!" Wu Zihao pointed at Shen Li's nose, his face flushed with anger: "Do you dare to tell the truth?"

Shen Li ignored him.

Cheng Sheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Shen Li say that. By saying that, she was completely in the position of the victim, frightened to the point of losing her mind, and it was understandable that she would do something.

Although no one believed her, refuting it required evidence, and no one could probably produce evidence to prove whether someone was terrified.
