During this period, after the emperor and empress's half-year-long campaign to crack down on gangsters and eliminate evil, the security situation in the capital was successfully improved to a higher level.

Several brothels and gambling houses were looted, and the unscrupulous businessmen who occupied fertile farmland and bullied men and women were also wiped out and driven out of the capital.

The corrupt officials who lost their gray income complained bitterly, while the people applauded.

The corrupt officials who were used to the lavish life naturally did not want to sit there and wait for death. After suffering such a huge loss for nothing, they used their connections to find the person who was responsible.

"Damn it! I want to see which bastard dares to steal my money. I'll find him out and... Ah! What the hell?!"

A group of people dressed as farmers descended from the sky and covered the corrupt official who had spoken wildly with a sack.

"Who is it? Do you know who I am? I am an official appointed by the imperial court. Assaulting an official appointed by the imperial court is a serious crime. If you know what's good for you, let me go... Ah! How dare you!"

The leader kicked the sack and said, "Bah, I'm hitting you, a dog official. Brothers, beat him up!"

"Ahhhhh!!"

"Stop, stop hitting me! Ouch! Please spare my life, man!"

Hearing that the corrupt official who had just been shouting was being beaten and begging for mercy again and again, and his screams were getting smaller and smaller, Old Fourteen walked out from the shadows and gave orders to the leader.

"Take off his uniform and throw him into the street."

"Yes."

In just half an hour, the news that the official had been beaten and humiliated spread throughout the capital, because this official had often colluded with businessmen, oppressed the people to make huge profits, and caused many families to be separated.

Therefore, not only did no one sympathize with them, but it also aroused the people's courage to resist.

"You rascal, you went out without clothes on. I think you are deliberately trying to ruin our sisters' reputation. Fellow villagers, please help me."

"That's right, beat this bastard to death."

"This bastard even pretended to be an official appointed by the imperial court. His crime is even more serious."

The corrupt officials are unable to speak out their grievances and just run away with their heads covered like rats crossing the street. As they run, they attract more people and get beaten more often.

Even when they fled home, the people continued to throw stones at them.

The official was beaten so badly that his face was bruised and he suffered numerous internal and external injuries. He also had a lame leg. He could no longer serve as an official and had to retire and return home.

Although he is gone, his ugly face is still widely spread in the capital, like a knife hanging on the necks of all corrupt officials, making people unable to sleep or eat and unable to sleep at night.

During the morning court session, a minister burst into tears and said, "Your Majesty, there are such daring lunatics under the emperor's feet. We must not let them go easily. This chills the hearts of our ministers!"

"Ahem." Kuangtu's brother sat on the dragon chair, trying hard to hold back his laughter. His facial paralysis, which he had developed since childhood, almost broke through.

He said falsely, "Your Excellency is right, but this man is cunning and has not yet been arrested."

"emperor……"

Seeing that the old turtle was not giving up, the emperor interrupted and said, "I order you to take full responsibility for this matter. You must have all the evidence and witnesses. You don't need to come to court until you arrest the madman."

If the problem cannot be solved, solve the person who raised the problem.

Emperor: You can talk, right? Then go home and talk well. If you can catch the lunatic, I will even call you brother.

The minister was dumbfounded. He looked up at the emperor and saw that his expression was serious. It was obvious that he was not joking. He regretted it instantly.

This trick of killing the chicken to scare the monkey was very effective. The others dared not say anything more and could only watch the silver that originally belonged to them become less and less, suffering heavy losses.

People are not fools. After doing it many times, they have figured out the pattern. This group of thugs always rob people who commit crimes in secret.

If the silver is well hidden, and the madmen are not satisfied with the looted silver, they will pull the official out and beat him up, acting very arrogantly.

It can be said that compared with the madmen, Nian Gengyao and Longkodo were both humble and polite.

What’s even more maddening is that this madman can’t be found no matter how hard they try. He has become a mysterious case that the people of Beijing talk about with relish and a nightmare for corrupt officials.

The emperor seemed angry about this, but in fact he did nothing.

Well, what is there to not understand? This madman is most likely the emperor's man.

The minister who had been robbed sighed and calmly accepted the reality after guessing it, but in the middle of the night, he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

I was so angry that I sat up from the bed: No, you are the emperor, how can you do things even more despicable than us? ! Is there any justice in the world? !

Along with the madman, the current emperor also gained fame, sweeping away the dark romantic affairs and rumors of the past and becoming a wise ruler who is praised by the people and truly loves his country and the people.

The emperor's private treasury also made a lot of money, and he had both fame and fortune. Although he had to give most of it to Wang Ruofu and the Fourteenth Prince, he got the most important thing.

——A good name!

If he continues to maintain this momentum, it will be just a matter of time before he surpasses his father and becomes a famous emperor who will go down in history!

With this temptation, the emperor loved to go to Wang Ruofu's palace even more.

One day, the emperor arrived at Kunning Palace, sent everyone out, and diligently massaged Wang Ruofu's back: "The queen has worked hard."

"It's not hard, but my life is miserable. Just tell me whose warehouse you have your eyes on." Wang Ruofu gave the emperor a look that said 'you know what I mean'.

She really didn't expect that the emperor, who used to always take the overall situation into consideration and balance all parties, and was like a punching bag, would change his character drastically and become out of control after he tasted the sweetness of "punishing evil and promoting good".

“Hehe.” The emperor was still a little embarrassed, but his words were clear, “I hope you can tell Old Fourteen to beat up that old bastard Longkodo.”

Wang Ruofu was slightly surprised: "What?! Beat your uncle?"

"His surname is Tongjia, and the Empress' surname is Wuya. How can he be my uncle?" An emotion flashed in the emperor's eyes that Wang Ruofu could not understand.

When he was young, he saw with his own eyes that old man Longkodo held the Empress Mother in his arms and did shameful things behind his father's back. This incident became a shadow that he could never erase for the rest of his life.

The Emperor is the Son of Heaven!

Now that he has become the emperor, how can he tolerate this? He said, "Besides, even Nian Gengyao knows how to restrain himself, but he still does what he wants. How can I let him go?"

Wang Ruofu didn't care about the affairs of the court, so he didn't think much about it. He just said, "Okay, I will talk to the Fourteenth Master about this."

Then Wang Ruofu went to Shoukang Palace and said in front of the Queen Mother: "Fourteenth brother, your brother said that old man Longkodo has been too arrogant recently and asked you to beat him up."

Bang!

The empress dowager's heart skipped a beat. Before she could react, she collapsed and fell off the couch by the window.

"Empress Dowager!" Zhu Xi stepped forward with concern and clasped the Empress Dowager's arms tightly with both hands, hoping to wake her up a little and tell her not to say anything she shouldn't.

Wang Ruofu calmly drank her tea and said, "What happened? How could the Empress Dowager fall to the ground while sitting there?"
