I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

The gate of the Duke of England's mansion was closed tightly, with a bolt on the inside.

Zhao Long kicked it several times but failed to move it away, and shouted,

"Get on the ramming wood!"

Ten soldiers immediately lifted a huge log and slammed it against the gate.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

With each bang, the door began to shake.

In fact, for Shen Changgong, this kind of courtyard wall is basically like walking on flat ground.

But jumping over the wall in front of so many subordinates was not a good look and would damage his reputation as a captain.

Finally, after the eighth hit, the latch of the gate broke with a click, and the gate was knocked open.

Shen Changgong rushed in first, and screams of men and women were heard from inside.

The soldiers behind him followed closely. The maids and servants in the mansion were frightened when they saw a group of soldiers rushing in and fled in all directions.

Shen Changgong shouted,

"Gather all the people and put them under guard. Search all the rooms for the stolen goods!"

"As ordered!"

They say it's a search, but these soldiers don't know anything about searching. They basically just smash and loot.

In an instant, the entire front yard of the Duke of England's mansion, which was lined with rockery, flowers and plants, was quickly destroyed and turned into a mess.

This group of soldiers came to search the house. They took away the valuables and smashed the worthless ones. Anyone who dared to resist was beaten up and then thrown into the open space in the front yard for detention.

All the capable fighters in the Duke of Ying's Mansion were taken to the security army camp and surrounded. Now, only some old, weak, sick and disabled servants and women who were powerless were left in the mansion.

"Where is the Duke's study?"

Shen Changgong grabbed a servant and asked coldly.

"Please spare my life, sir. I don't want to die."

"If you keep talking nonsense, you'll really die."

"The study is in the backyard."

"lead the way."

Shen Changgong and Gongsun Wan'er, along with their guards, followed the servant towards the backyard.

As soon as I entered the backyard gate, I saw several security guards pressing two women to the ground and forcibly stripping off their clothes.

"Is this a maid or a lady?"

"I don't know, she looks pretty young."

"Hurry up, move quickly, pull it to the corner."

"Don't let anyone see it, or they'll complain again."

Shen Changgong and Gongsun Wan'er both stopped and looked at those people.

Gongsun Wan'er was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Seeing this scene, the tragic scene when the Gongsun family was ransacked and exterminated came to her mind, making her head buzz and almost lose her mind.

Just as she was about to draw her sword, Shen Changgong had already moved.

Shen Changgong rushed forward and kicked the security guards to the ground one by one.

"Who the hell is this?!"

A security guard shouted, and his face changed drastically when he saw Shen Changgong.

Several people knelt down and clasped their hands together.

"Greetings, Grand Commandant!"

"What are you doing?"

Shen Changgong asked with a gloomy face.

"us……"

A security guard who looked very smart rolled his eyes and said quickly,

"Captain, we are searching these criminal women to see if they have any stolen property."

Shen Changgong walked up to him and sneered,

"You think I'm a fool and you can fool me by telling a lie, right?"

"Captain, spare us, we really want to rape these two women."

"stand up."

Several people stood up hurriedly, not daring to look up.

Shen Changgong said coldly,

"I sent you here to search the house to arrest people and collect stolen goods. If you want women, do your job well and I will reward you. You can go to the brothel to find women who will serve you better than these women.

You are all common people, you should take up the sword to fight against the powerful people who oppress you, instead of these poor people who are also common people like you.

You are all men, you should bully those who are stronger than you, that is what real ability is, instead of bullying these women who are weaker than you.

"You're forcibly seizing a commoner's woman? What's the difference between you and those powerful people you hate?!"

"Captain, I know I was wrong, and I won't do it again!"

"Go and inform everyone. If I see anyone raping a decent woman again, I will execute him without mercy.

If you want the daughters of powerful families, wait until they are convicted and sent to the Jiaofangsi before enjoying them!"

"As ordered!"

After giving the order, Shen Changgong took Gongsun Wan'er towards the study.

Gongsun Wan'er's expression softened slightly and she said,

"You've done something humane."

Shen Changgong remained silent.

She went on to say,

"But I think that the disaster should not affect the family members. Whoever made the mistake should be killed. The women in the families of the powerful have never done anything against the law. Why should they be beheaded and enslaved?

They are innocent.”

Shen Changgong said coldly,

"The premise of not bringing disaster to the family is that the benefits will not be brought to the family. Those women, with their fine clothes and delicious food, can afford to feed an ordinary family for a year with the money they spend on one meal.

The clothes they wear are enough for a commoner's family to wear.

They wore gold and silver jewelry, dressed in silk and satin, ate delicacies from land and sea, and had servants to take care of them at home and when they traveled.

Where did all this money come from? Wasn't it all from the people's blood and sweat that their fathers and brothers plundered?

They enjoy this blood-stained money and privileges. The clothes they wear and the food they eat are bought with the lives of countless civilians.

When the time comes to settle accounts, will everything be fine if you just say that the disaster will not affect my family?

Bullshit!

Gongsun Wan'er used to be the daughter of a powerful family. She thought she had never done anything against the law, but according to Shen Changgong's logic, what he said seemed to be right.

"Why do I feel like you hate the powerful? Have you ever been persecuted by them?"

"There's none?"

Shen Changgong sneered,

“I was sitting at home, eating hot pot, singing songs, and enjoying a wonderful life. Suddenly one day, a powerful man broke into my house and asked me to participate in a male selection. He turned me from a human into a beast and forced me to swing a knife at innocent people in order to survive.

We common people struggle to survive with all our might, doing everything we can, just to entertain the powerful.

In the eyes of the powerful, we are beasts, dogs fighting for food, and everything in between, but not human beings.

Tell me, should I hate it?"

Shen Changgong's eyes scared Gongsun Wan'er so much. His eyes were like those of a wild beast, as if he wanted to devour someone.

Gongsun Wan'er felt panicked and felt like she was being stared at by a wild beast.

"You want to kill me?"

Suddenly, the murderous aura on Shen Changgong disappeared. He smiled brightly, narrowed his eyes and said,

"My dear, how can I bear to let you die so easily?"

Looking at Shen Changgong's departing back, and the murderous aura and expression that he could control at will, Gongsun Wan'er broke out in a cold sweat.

What kind of existence did she provoke?

For a moment, she suddenly felt a little regretful.
