How can a mere enemy like me?

Chapter 65: I will bring grievances to the people, and in one day I will trample on the bones of the nobles (8k)

at the same time.

Outside the prison.

"Now that you're out, live a good life."

The jailer sent a young girl out of the prison and persuaded her patiently.

Since she is a girl, she should be at the age of youth and beauty, but there is no sign of youth and beauty on this girl.

She was covered in dirt, her hair was disheveled, her eyes were dull, and her pretty face and lips were pale, devoid of any healthy color.

more importantly.

The clothes she wore were worn and thin, and blood could be seen seeping out from many places. Even her pace was very slow, and her face showed pain with every step.

Obviously, the girl was already covered in wounds.

And seeing how familiar these jailers seemed with her, it seemed like she was already a regular here.

"After you go back, leave the capital. At least you have to live a good life."

Seeing that the girl did not answer, the jailer continued to persuade her earnestly,
"Don't do this useless thing anymore. No matter how many times you repeat it, the result will be the same."

Hearing the jailer's words, a glimmer of light appeared in the girl's eyes.

She stopped and looked back at the jailer, as if asking herself, or asking the other person, she murmured to herself,
"What about my grievances?"

"What about my father's grievances?"

"My father has already died in their hands. Is this matter really over?"

"I know you're wronged, but..."

The jailer looked at the girl sympathetically, then sighed deeply, as if he was also a little sad and angry, but he didn't dare to express it. He could only suppress his voice and said in a low voice,
"Your opponent is in the sky!"

"How can we ordinary people fight them?"

So, can we just swallow our anger and bear it?
The girl stared blankly at the sun in the sky, but she felt that the sun, which was usually warm and dazzling, was so dim at this moment.

The entire capital city seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze.

Even the strongest sunlight cannot penetrate this layer of haze, allowing its light to shine on them and let them feel what warmth and light are.

The girl staggered on the way home, her face dull, like a walking corpse.

She really couldn't understand.

His father, who was usually kind and generous, was beaten so badly that he died because of a fabricated family secret skill.

There is no reason!
I don’t have that thing at home!
Yet, because of something that didn't exist, they repeatedly came to his house to cause trouble, and finally captured his father and beat and tortured him...

Even she herself was arrested several times because of this fabricated family heirloom and her constant efforts to seek justice, and ended up in her current state.

Even at this moment, she still remembered the arrogance of those people, and her father's unwillingness, anger and powerlessness before his death.

and so…

How can we let him go unpunished!

Although the girl has nothing now, she still has her life.

As long as I'm alive, I will never give up easily!
obviously.

The girl still refused to give up.

Even if she is already scarred, even if she will still be like this in the future, there may not even be an accurate answer in the end.

But she still wanted to fight to the end.

But on her way back, she heard a very unexpected news.

"You know about the Court of Nations, right?"

"Of course I know. It was specially set up by Lord Su to help us. I heard that as soon as the Court of All Peoples opened its doors, they captured most of the court in one day!"

"You are truly worthy of being called Lord Su. Not only does he care about our lives, he's also worried that we won't have any way to seek justice. Especially since Lord Su is not afraid of power and upholds the law... Lord Su is truly a good official who is dedicated to serving the people."

Because of Su Bai's actions, Wanmin Court became famous, and almost all the people in the capital of Daxia had heard of it.

Their topic of conversation these past two days has been the Court of All Peoples.

And all these words were heard by the girl.

At first she was a little skeptical. After all, she had been seeking justice for so long and had received so much unfair treatment that she was almost in despair.

But when she heard Su Bai's name and the list that the passers-by had confidently listed, a glimmer of hope arose in her heart again.

Wanmin Court, Lord Su... Is there really any hope this time?
After all, the person she wanted to sue was one of the most powerful people!

Perhaps it was because he was too immersed in the news of the Court of Nations.

The girl was completely oblivious to the cold light so close to her.

now.

It was a dark and windy night, a night for murder. Those who stood opposite the girl seemed unable to sit still and came to kill her to silence her.

But luckily.

At this moment, a female warrior had just got off work and passed by here and happened to see this scene.

Not long after.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Missed?"

Hearing the news, the gentleman sitting in front of the man in black raised his eyebrows, but then shook his head and chuckled.

"It's okay, I made a mistake, I'm just a commoner, what's the big deal?"

"Son..."

Looking at the son of the Left Prime Minister in front of him, the black-clothed subordinate hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously,

"Should we inform Minister Eun about this?"

"That madman Su Bai has been biting his tongue very hard recently. He has dragged down many heads of the six ministries and even people from the Censorate."

"If he gets hold of any evidence, this matter will be detrimental to Minister En and the Young Master."

Seeing that the son of the Left Prime Minister did not speak, the subordinate in black continued,

"Sir, that lunatic Su Bai is on the side of His Majesty..."

"It's okay, you don't have to worry about it, and you don't need to tell father."

The son of the left prime minister waved his hand and said nonchalantly,

"I can handle this matter. Why should I let Father know? Not only will it be useless, but it will also make Father angry for nothing, and I will even get a beating from him."

"As for Su Bai..."

With a sneer, the son of the left prime minister scoffed at it.

"It's just a mad dog under your majesty's seat that only knows how to bite people. There's no need to pay any attention to it."

"Even His Majesty doesn't dare to do anything to my father. I'll give him some courage and see if he dares to come and arrest me."

"He's just a lowly person. I just want to see his secret manual. How dare you make excuses like this? You're really courting death."

then.

The Prime Minister's Mansion did not take any action that night.

On the other side, the poor girl had been brought to Su Bai by Wu Ningshuang.

When she woke up, it was already the next day.

"Sir, you are..."

Looking at the young man sitting in front of her with a rather gentle smile, the girl asked in confusion.

"Su Bai, you may not have heard of this name, but looking at you... who did you offend to become like this?"

"This matter has nothing to do with you, benefactor. I am already extremely grateful for saving me, and I dare not put you in any further danger..."

But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Su Bai.

"From what you said, you seem to have been wronged."

"If you have any grievances, feel free to tell me. My Court of the People is dedicated to redressing the grievances of the people."

"No matter who the other party is, as long as the facts are verified, I will not let them off easily."

My official?

Court of Nations?
Su...Su Bai! ?

Listening to Su Bai's words, the girl immediately remembered the conversations with the passers-by yesterday.

She didn't expect that it was Lord Su from the Wanmin Court who saved her.

Before, she had thought about coming to the Wanmin Court to give it a try, but now that Lord Su of the Wanmin Court was right in front of her, she hesitated.

Do you really want to try it?

If I don't try... I will have no other hope.

Well, it’s already the worst time, and it can’t get any worse, so let’s give it a try!
Gritting her teeth, the girl got up from the bed, then she knelt down in front of Su Bai and knocked her head heavily on the ground.
"I, Bai Xiaoxiao, beg Lord Su to make the decision for me!"

then.

Su Bai received his first real order.

Afterwards, the girl explained to Su Bai in detail the injustice she had suffered.

Overall, this is a very tragic, yet very common occurrence.

The girl's family practices martial arts, and she has quite a family tradition. Her father's strength is also quite good, at least among the common people.

That's why.

Then a news spread that her family possessed a top-notch secret skill.

I don't know who started this rumor, but it sounds so convincing.

What could have allowed her father and herself, two ordinary people with no talent or resources, to develop such impressive strength? This unique skill must be extremely powerful. And what else could have enabled them to achieve the third rank if they obtained it?

God bless her, the reason why she and her father were able to develop some strength was not only because they both had some talent, but more importantly because of their diligence.

Just use diligence to make up for the lack of resources.

Their family does have some martial arts passed down from generation to generation, but they are just ordinary martial arts and not that magical at all.

At first, her father didn't care about the rumor. He just thought that the innocent will be innocent, and no one could make up something that his family didn't have.

But unfortunately, this news was known by a certain evil young man.

For the evil young man, it doesn't matter whether the rumor is true or false.

Anyway, just get the thing. If it is real, you will make a profit. If it is fake, you will not lose anything.

It was just catching two untouchables, which was nothing to that evil young man.

then.

The girl's father was arrested and, despite repeated interrogations and torture, he was unable to produce the family's unique skills. So, he was directly accused of stealing and beaten to death...

The girl was thrown into jail many times and beaten like this because she repeatedly tried to seek justice for herself, and because the evil young man was still unwilling to give up on the so-called family secret skills.

After all, this is all caused by the family's unique skills.

"My family doesn't have this so-called family secret skill. If he asks us to take it out, how can we possibly do it..."

"They say my father stole. He was just an ordinary citizen. How could he have stolen from the homes of the rich and powerful? This is nothing but a frame-up..."

"I've tried to seek justice several times, even taking it to Jingzhao Prefecture, but no one stood up for me. Do they really have the final say in Daxia?"

The girl spoke with tears in her eyes, almost choking with sobs as she spoke out her grievances.

Listening to the girl's words, Su Bai understood the twists and turns in an instant.

But none of this matters. All Su Bai wants to know now is a name.
"So, who is the person who slandered and killed your father?"

Hear this.

The girl's eyes immediately turned blood red, and a hint of hatred gradually emerged on her face. She gritted her teeth and said to Su Bai,
"Reporting to Lord Su, the murderer is... Zuo Mulan!"

Zuo Mulan?
It turned out to be him.

Su Bai nodded in understanding, but didn't care much.

But Wu Ningshuang behind Su Bai was stunned and murmured,

"Zuo Mulan...isn't this the name of the Zuo Xiang's legitimate son?"

"Could the murderer be the Left Prime Minister's legitimate son?!"

Good guy.

The first real order of the Wanmin Court turned out to be aimed at the powerful and supreme son of the Left Prime Minister.

This start is a king bomb!
The girl obviously knew Zuo Mulan's identity and was full of worries at the moment. She was very worried that Su Bai would ignore this matter because of the other party's identity.

After all, she was well aware of the pressure involved.

As the head of all officials and the teacher of half of the civil servants in the court, the Left Prime Minister undoubtedly has great power in the court. Who would dare to take the risk and arrest his legitimate son?

During this period, the girl has been busy with this matter.

From Jingzhao Yin to Dali Temple, then to the Ministry of Justice, and later even to the Censorate...

She didn't understand these complicated departments, but she visited all the departments related to redressing injustice and punishment.

however.

She went through various agencies to report the case, but none of them were of any use!

Today, the court of Daxia, especially the civil officials and dignitaries, are all complicated and intertwined, and officials protect each other. No one will care, and no one dares to care about this matter.

no doubt.

Young girls face unprecedented pressure.

If Su Bai wants to take over this matter, the pressure he will face will be unprecedented.

Seeing that Lord Su was silent, Bai Xiaoxiao knocked his head to the ground again and said in a deep voice,

"Master Su, I know this matter is extremely difficult, but I do not expect the murderer to be severely punished. I only ask for justice..."

"It's just a matter of fairness, is it really that difficult..."

It's not that she doesn't have extravagant desires, but she doesn't dare to have extravagant desires

Even the victim's demands are so low...

Su Bai looked down at Bai Xiaoxiao in front of him, his face gradually becoming cold.

It’s time to let those high and mighty people know what it means that the people cannot be bullied!

Walking forward, Su Bai leaned over and took the girl's arm, pulling her up. Gently patting the dust off the girl's knees, facing the girl's expectant and somewhat worried eyes, Su Bai showed her a reassuring smile.

"Don't worry, I have agreed to this matter."

this moment.

The girl felt as if a beam of light had really penetrated the layers of dark clouds and illuminated the dim capital city.

In her eyes, the young man in front of her was shining like a hero.

Especially Su Bai's next words made the girl admire the person in front of her even more.

"It's better to solve this matter today than today."

"But, Lord Su...that's the Prime Minister's Mansion..."

The girl hurriedly reminded.

That is the home of the person with the highest status and the greatest power in the court of Daxia, second only to Emperor Wu!
Lord Su can really...

"so what?"

Su Bai sneered.
"When the people have grievances, I, Su Bai, come to redress them."

"What about the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Still sealed!

Departments are not cooperating?
It doesn’t matter. Su Bai has the White Jade Order and can directly mobilize the Pacification Office.

Bringing a large group of people, Su Bai went straight to the Prime Minister's residence and broke in, not caring at all about the power, connections and status of the Left Prime Minister.

The main point is that there are no taboos!
And this day.

The streets of heaven are full of the bones of nobles.

With Su Bai's order, the Prime Minister's Mansion was actually sealed off!
The people from the Wu Shi Pacification Office, armed with sharp blades, surrounded the entire prime minister's residence in three layers, inside and outside. Not even a pigeon or an ant was allowed to enter or leave the residence.

It can be said to be extremely harsh.

This is getting serious!

Su Bai's actions were undoubtedly a big deal.

The residence of the Left Prime Minister was sealed off. What was Su Bai trying to do?!

Is he really crazy?

In an instant.

The commotion at the Prime Minister's Mansion attracted the attention of the entire city.

All the dignitaries and common people in the city want to see what Su Bai will do next and how it will end.

For a while.

The entire capital seemed to have fallen silent.

Seeing Su Bai's quick and efficient operation without any taboos, Jun Chaoxi and Wu Ningshuang were really shocked.

Even though Su Bai was deeply trusted and favored by Emperor Wu, his status and background could not be compared with that of the Left Prime Minister. Su Bai's move would undoubtedly bring himself great trouble.

But for the sake of the people, Su Bai did it anyway. Not only did he do it, he did it openly and honestly.

What is this called?
This is called righteousness!
For the sake of justice, Su Bai disregarded his own personal interests, which was no different from that of a saint.

The two of them compared themselves again...

A person came down the mountain to assassinate Emperor Wu. Although she claimed to be a righteous fairy, she did it only for her own selfish reasons. She never thought about the impact of Emperor Wu's death on Daxia and the people.

Although the other one has always considered herself to be upright and fair, her uprightness and fairness are only her own.

There is no doubt that both of them are selfish, and there is even a suspicion that they are willing to sacrifice the greater good for their own selfishness.

The huge gap between the two is highlighted...

At this moment, in the eyes and hearts of the two, Su Bai's image instantly became taller.

There is no doubt that he is a good man, a good official who sacrifices his own interests for the greater good and serves the people wholeheartedly. He can be called a saint!
I am not as good as him...

As the two looked at Su Bai with admiration, their favorability towards him also increased to varying degrees.

But unlike the other two, he still had the mind to let his imagination run wild.

The Prime Minister's Mansion was in a state of panic at this moment.

Especially the butler.

Having followed the Left Prime Minister for so many years and experienced countless ups and downs, this butler naturally has an extremely keen sense of smell.

Seeing that Su Bai had even brought in the Pacification Bureau, and was making such a big show... He was going to completely tear his relationship apart and knock the Xiangfu down with one blow...

This time, things are really bad!
Others might not dare to attack the Prime Minister's Mansion, but as a die-hard supporter of Emperor Wu, Su Bai would show no mercy if given the chance.

If this continues, no one knows what will happen to Zuo Xiang, but Zuo Mulan is definitely dead.

then.

The housekeeper came to Zuo Mulan and said in a deep voice,

"Master, hurry up and leave! That lunatic Su Bai is serious this time. He really wants you to pay for that lowly person's life!"

"I'll have someone pack your things right away. You can go out and hide for a while. The master will definitely take care of this matter. It won't be too late for you to come back then."

however.

Zuo Mulan was indifferent and just waved his hand.

"It doesn't matter. I just don't believe it. Does he really dare to take me away directly?"

With a sneer, the son of the left prime minister's eyes were full of disdain, and his arrogant attitude was fully revealed.

"I just had someone kill a pariah. So what?"

"Besides, I've already paid the money, what else does he want?"

"I didn't do anything wrong. Why did he arrest me? Even in front of my father, I said the same thing."

Even now, he still feels that he is not wrong.

I'm afraid he does this kind of thing quite often in normal times.

even.

He had already prepared his own arguments.

"And it was clearly that untouchable who stole my things first!
That is a very good martial arts book, which can be cultivated to the third level. It is a rare treasure."

"In order to retrieve my martial arts, I reported to the police and had that untouchable arrested, but he was stubborn and refused to tell me where he had left my martial arts. I accidentally killed him, so is that my fault?"

"But I'm a very kind person. I can't bear to see anyone suffer, so I compensated him with some money. I've done my best. What else do you want from me?"

With the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion and his own strength, as well as his set of rhetoric, he was so proficient in both civil and military affairs that he felt that even Su Bai would not dare to touch him.

But what could he do? Su Bai didn't say anything more to her.

"I came here today not for this, but for my own personal matter."

Walking slowly in front of Zuo Mulan, Su Bai showed a kind smile.

"Mr. Zuo, I suspect you stole something from me, so I want to take you back to investigate. Is that okay?"

This...why does it feel so familiar?

It seems that I said the same thing when I faced the middle-aged man who was beaten to death by me?

Zuo Mulan thought blankly for a moment, and immediately understood what Su Bai meant.

He wants to frame himself too!
In an instant, Zuo Mulan's face turned ugly.
"Master Su, do you really have to tear your face off with my Zuo family?"

"Mr. Zuo, that's not true. I just did the same thing as you."

Su Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, and his fingers trembled irregularly, as if he was ready to attack.

as predicted.

The next moment, Zuo Mulan suddenly took action, leaped into the air, and punched Su Bai from a distance.

"Su Bai, if you want to catch me, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it!"

As the 72nd young and powerful person on the list of outstanding people, Zuo Mulan is only slightly older than Su Bai, but he has the strength of the fifth rank.

Especially since he was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he has been studying hundreds of classics since he was young. No matter his cultivation or strength, he is at the top level in the same realm.

He was confident in his own strength and Su Bai would definitely not be able to stop him!
As long as Su Bai is captured, this matter will be over, and no one can or dares to catch me anymore!

however.

Zuo Mulan underestimated Su Bai.

Su Bai casually took a step to the side and easily dodged Zuo Mulan's punch. Then, streams of water and fire rose from his hands.

Three strokes!

Su Bai only used three moves to shatter Zuo Mulan's dream of becoming a strong man. Not only did he knock him down, he even destroyed his cultivation!
But even so, Su Bai still did not let Zuo Mulan go.

Walking forward slowly, Su Bai lifted Zuo Mulan's ankle and held him all the way out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Dragging him slowly along the road, Su Bai actually pretended to be parading in the street, and took Zuo Mulan around for a long time before returning to the Wanmin Courtyard.

Zuo Mulan was almost unconscious, his body completely unable to move. Su Bai grabbed his ankles, like a dead dog, leaving only a deep mark on the road.

The people on both sides watched this scene with a gleam of satisfaction in their eyes, and looked at Su Bai with even more respect.

But Su Bai's actions were not limited to this.

After dealing with Zuo Mulan, Su Bai changed into court robes and unexpectedly took part in the government for the first time in a long time.

And all he did was naturally to punish the Left Prime Minister!
"Left Prime Minister, you don't know what your son has done, do you?"

"Robbery and disregard for human life are crimes punishable by death. What else do you have to say, Prime Minister?"

"Should I remind the Prime Minister what the punishment is for condoning and shielding others?"

As Su Bai's voice of questioning fell, the court suddenly fell into silence.

But in this silence, there is a more violent storm about to hit.

Facing Su Bai's attack, Zuo Xiang just stood there calmly without saying a word.

The civil servants of the Left Prime Minister faction naturally could not stand by and watch Prime Minister En suffer, and soon someone stood up and asked Su Bai,
"Master Su, the matter has been investigated clearly. That person stole Mr. Zuo's things, and Mr. Zuo was angry and his men negligently caused the death."

"This matter itself has nothing to do with Master Zuo, not to mention that Master Zuo also paid a lot of money as compensation. Isn't that enough?"

"Oh, theft? Negligence? It wasn't Zuo Mulan who did it, so he's not at fault?"

Su Bai sneered and glanced at the officials in the court.

"Let's not even talk about how an ordinary person who barely made it into the rank of rank could steal things in the heavily guarded Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Zuo Mulan didn't do it himself, but he instigated others to do it. Can this be used as a basis for him to escape punishment?"

"I really want to know who made the judgment in this case. Why was it so foolish? Was it the Jingzhao Prefecture, the Ministry of Justice, or the Dali Temple?"

His eyes swept across everyone's faces, and anyone he saw lowered their head in fear and guilt.

See this.

Su Bai snorted lightly, his voice became even more angry, and he directly questioned,
"Zuo Mulan, the son of the Left Prime Minister, relied on the prestige of the Prime Minister's Mansion to rob the people and take their lives. Later, he colluded with corrupt officials like you to cover up the truth!"

"You are so brave to do such a thing!"

"I was simply investigating the case, and you jumped out to obstruct me. The court was filled with voices of opposition. Your faction, the Left Prime Minister, truly possesses immense power!"

As Su Bai questioned, the whole cause and effect was also revealed to Emperor Wu on the dragon throne.

Everyone could clearly see that Emperor Wu's elegant and noble face was soon filled with anger.

"absurd!"

Emperor Wu slammed the dragon throne and was furious.
"I never thought you could do something so outrageous!"

"The whole court is a den of snakes and rats. They actually hid everything from me. You did a good job. You did a really good job."

"I would like to ask you, is this Da Xia my Da Xia or your Da Xia?"

Without waiting for this group of people to kneel down and beg for mercy, Emperor Wu looked at Su Bai.
"Su Bai, I order you to investigate this case with all your strength. You must give the people justice and let me see what has become of my Great Xia."

Hearing Emperor Wu's words, all the civil servants in the court were extremely frightened.

Not only did Su Bai question the matter in court, but Emperor Wu was also furious and expressed his opinion. They had all been caught off guard by the serious consequences of this matter.

This, how is this possible!
There really was someone who would turn against the prime minister, the head of all officials, for a lowly person?
Su Bai must be really crazy!
The left prime minister, who was at the center of the vortex, was silent for a while, then suddenly stepped out, and then slowly knelt on the ground.

Everyone thought that he was going to plead with Emperor Wu.

But the left prime minister was very smart. Instead of making any excuses, he said to Emperor Wu:
"Your Majesty, I failed to educate my son properly, which led to that evil creature committing such a heinous crime. Although it was the rebellious son's sole act, I, as an old minister, cannot escape responsibility."

"Having raised such a rebellious son, I cannot face the shame of remaining in the court to see Your Majesty. Please, Your Majesty, allow me to return home and retire..."

He actually resigned in public!

This scene not only touched all the officials, but even Su Bai and Emperor Wu had a gleam in their eyes when they looked at the Left Prime Minister.

This is a retreat to advance, a heroic act. This left prime minister is indeed a smart man who can sit in this position. He is already well versed in the ways of being an official.

But just when Su Bai was about to take advantage of the opportunity and Emperor Wu was about to express his attitude.

Suddenly, a sharp voice sounded.

"Convey the Empress Dowager's decree..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire court became noisy again.

The Queen Mother has issued an order at this moment, which obviously means she wants to stand up and protect someone.

however…

The person who came in with the message was not the Queen Mother, but just a maid...

The maid folded her hands in front of her, raised her head slightly, and didn't even look at the civil and military officials on both sides. Her arrogant attitude was very obvious.

Although she was the Queen Mother's personal maid, for something like this, it would have been fine if the Queen Mother herself hadn't been present, but she only sent a personal maid, and the maid was still like this...

The Queen Mother was indeed too arrogant. She completely ignored Emperor Wu.

"Your Majesty, please accept my order."

The maid came before Emperor Wu and spoke to him.

This sounded a bit awkward, but the maid took it for granted and said directly,

"This servant is on behalf of the Queen Mother and is conveying her wishes to Your Majesty."

"I heard that little Mu Lan committed a serious crime, and His Majesty forced the Left Prime Minister to beg for his life in the court?"

"I cannot speak much about the affairs of the court, but I believe that the Left Prime Minister has made great contributions and hard work. Why should we implicate others when our son makes a mistake? Your Majesty, why not let this matter rest here?"

(End of this chapter)
