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

After Shen Changgong finished speaking, he waved his hand and the guard came over with a stack of papers in his hands.

Shen Changgong picked up the first piece of paper and shouted,

"Wang Daniu, come out!"

Upon hearing this, a civilian man in his twenties came running over, plopped down on his knees in front of the stage, and shouted,

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty, and to the Grand Commandant!"

Shen Changgong said,

"Stand up and speak out your grievances loudly! Let all the officials listen carefully!"

"Yes Yes Yes."

Wang Daniu stood up, tears in his eyes, and shouted out the grievances and resentment that had been suppressed in his heart for many years.

"Five years ago! The stewards of Duke Wen's mansion tried to buy my family's land by force, offering a copper coin as a price. I refused, so they set my house on fire, forcibly took the land deed, and even kidnapped my wife and children right in front of me!

Now my child has been tortured to death by them, and my wife is in danger. This is all the fault of Duke Wen. Please, Your Majesty, make the decision!"

After saying that, Wang Daniu fell to his knees.

Shen Changgong picked up the paper again and shouted,

"Zhao Weiba, come out and tell us your grievances!"

A man in his forties came out, kowtowed, and then said loudly,

"That time, my daughter and I were walking down the street, choosing her dowry, when we happened to run into Duke Cao's carriage. That son of a bitch, Duke Cao, saw that my daughter was pretty, and he forcibly pulled her onto the carriage.

He also hit me on the top of my head with a piece of silver worth one and a half ounces, leaving a big bump, and said it was the money to buy my daughter!

Zhao Weiba roared loudly with a crying voice,

"Duke Cao! I'll return the five taels of silver to you, but you must return my daughter to me! Give her back to me!"

Shen Changgong showed no emotion and took out the third piece of paper.

"Tian Erniu! Come out! Tell us your grievances!"

A fat woman in her forties came out, knelt down and saluted, then cried and said,

"Your Majesty, Grand Commandant, at the end of last year, a rape case occurred in the capital. It was committed by our neighbor, the pervert Zhao Defa, who raped a decent woman to death.

The Supreme Court had already caught the real murderer, but the Zhao family gave the Supreme Court five thousand taels of silver to buy Zhao Defa's life, but someone needed to take the blame in this case.

So the Supreme Court arrested my husband and took the blame, saying that it was my husband who did it. Just because my husband had a grudge with Zhao Defa, he was taken away to be executed.

God have mercy on me. My man was as honest as a piece of wood. He had never done anything harmful to others, yet he was killed just like that.

Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!"

Shen Changgong took out another piece of paper and shouted loudly,

"Head of the Capital City Yamen, Wu Laoer, come out!"

A strong and stern young man stood up and said loudly,

"Greetings to your Majesty, the Grand Commandant! My parents died young, and my brother raised me by selling pancakes. He taught me martial arts and helped me get a job as a government official.

My brother has a beautiful wife, who was originally a concubine of a wealthy family and was sold to my brother. But that woman colluded with the son of the Huai'an Marquis family and poisoned my brother to death!

The adulterer and his wife were in great pain every day. I went to their house to reason with them, but the Marquis of Huai'an sent someone with a stick to break my legs. If it weren't for the prefect's intercession, I'm afraid I would have been beaten to death."

Someone else stood up and shouted,

"Our entire village, with over a hundred households and over three thousand acres of land, was forcibly taken away by Prince Gong's stewards. When we refused, they killed half of our people. Now the entire village has become a pile of graves."

"Last year, the Wei River overflowed, and a flood occurred. We, the victims, were displaced. Marquis Yiyong was ordered to provide disaster relief, but he embezzled all the relief grain, leaving tens of thousands of people with only Guanyin soil to eat. The land was full of starving people!"

"Duke Wen has allowed his cronies to run rampant in the capital. His real estate market alone has taken up almost half of East City, earning him the nickname "Wen Bancheng"!"

"Prince Rong's men are driving up prices and disrupting the market. They're charging three pounds for one pound of grain. If we small merchants don't comply, our bodies will show up at our doorsteps the next day."

"My newly married wife was snatched away by the Marquis of Huai'an's son!"

"Duke Xin, I'm CNM, you need to return my father's life!"

"Zhao Men, the Left Supervisor of the Imperial Court! Do you still remember that false case you wrongly brought about the death of my brother's entire family?!"

"All of you, die! All of you, die for me!!!"

The people became more and more excited as they spoke. With the support of His Majesty and the Grand Commandant, they also grew bolder.

The resentment that had accumulated over the years suddenly erupted, and he wished he could tear those officials and dignitaries to pieces with his own hands.

One by one, those crimes are too numerous to list.

When they are transformed into words, people read them but cannot understand the despair and grief of those who have lost their loved ones.

Behind every piece of text is the blood and tears of one or more families.

It means the separation of wives and children, and the destruction of families.

He was filled with rage that he had no way to release, and could only die in depression. Even if he turned into a ghost with overwhelming resentment, he would not be able to tear his enemies apart.

This is the joy and happiness of the powerful.

But it is the tears and sorrow of the people.

Those people wanted to rush up and beat to death all the powerful people who persecuted them.

The guards lined up and stopped the people to prevent them from attacking the powerful.

Shen Changgong shouted loudly,

"Calm down! Calm down! Fellow villagers, since we have invited you to the palace today, and since His Majesty has come personally to uphold justice for you, then today, we must give you an explanation!

The law is merciless! None of these powerful people who persecute you will be able to escape!"

After hearing this, the people's eyes were filled with tears and they turned around and kowtowed to Shen Changgong.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Lord Qingtian!"

The Empress walked forward and stood beside Shen Changgong. She looked at the stunned Prince Rong and others and said in a domineering manner,

"Don't you want me to give you an explanation? This is my explanation to you! This is also your explanation to me!

The late emperor and I have given you great power, and we hope that you will govern the country and protect the people!

But you! Is this how you protect the people? "

"Prince Rong! Prince Gong! Now we have all the evidence, witnesses, and evidence. Your crimes are too numerous to list! What else do you have to say?"

Prince Rong's expression changed again and again, becoming extremely ugly. He knew that this time, the Empress was going to break off relations with them.

This time, they are really in danger.

He looked at the empress with a gloomy face and said through gritted teeth,

"Your Majesty, we have only bullied some unruly people. Do you really want to punish us by using these unruly people as a tool?"

Don't forget, we are the royal family, we are the most loyal to you. If the enemy attacks, we will fight to the death. These common people don't care who their masters are! "
