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

The empress immediately promoted and appointed a group of officials, all of which had been planned long ago.

Which official should step down, which official should be promoted, and which official should take up which position? These were the lists that the Empress and Gongsun Wan'er worked hard on for several days.

After all, the two major factions are not just composed of a dozen people, but have a complex network of party officials supporting them.

What is surprising is that in this court storm, more than half of the Nine Ministers were dismissed, but none of the Three Dukes stepped down.

Prime Minister Wang Anqing, Grand Marshal Gao Qiu, and Imperial Censor Chen Zhe.

These three people have been silently supporting the empress and ensuring her power and status when the two major factions were constantly fighting and the court was in chaos.

And now, it is time for them to take power and govern.

I think in the next period of time.

The whole capital will be very busy.

House searches, interrogations, appointment of new officials, reorganization of the court, changes in military power, etc.

The dark clouds have dispersed, and it's time to see the sun.

The empress went back to rest. Gongsun Wan'er looked very energetic. After sending the empress back to her bedroom, she got in a carriage and rushed out of the palace.

Then on the street, they saw Shen Changgong, who was leading two hundred security soldiers and three hundred imperial guards to confiscate the property.

"Shen Changgong! Shen Changgong!"

Gongsun Wan'er lifted the curtain of the carriage door and greeted Shen Changgong repeatedly.

"What?"

Shen Changgong looked at her and asked unhappily.

"Where are you going?"

"Prince Rong's Mansion."

"You go to Prince Gong's Mansion, and I'll go to Prince Rong's Mansion. We'll split up and raid these two most powerful families first."

"What should I do? Do I need you to tell me what to do?"

Shen Changgong rolled his eyes at him and continued,

"If you want revenge, why not just torture Prince Rong directly now? Why do you have to confiscate his property?"

"I have to be careful that you don't embezzle money."

"But you just said that you wanted to act separately from me."

"I……"

Gongsun Wan'er hesitated for a moment before saying,

"I actually wanted to personally capture my enemy's entire family and take them to the Heavenly Prison, so that Prince Rong could also feel the pain of his relatives being tortured, and let him know how much pain I suffered back then."

Gongsun Wan'er glanced at Shen Changgong cautiously.

"Do you think I'm a dark and cruel person?"

Shen Changgong sneered,

"It's human nature to take revenge when there's revenge, and to repay grievances when there's grievance. If you could forgive Prince Rong, I would think you were a stupid saint. Now it seems that you're still a normal person."

"That's fine. I forgot you're also a vindictive person."

As Gongsun Wan'er spoke, she pondered what the stupid saint meant.

However, Shen Changgong on the side suddenly laughed and said,

"Since when do you care so much about what I think of you?"

Gongsun Wan'er was startled when she heard this, then her pretty face turned red, and she gritted her teeth and said viciously,

"I don't care what you think of me. Anyway, in your heart, I have always been a villain. I forced you to participate in a life-or-death game, and I always dislike you. I am also a villain from a powerful family, right?"

"Just so you know, you have to maintain this rebellious attitude and make me always hate you. Only then will I feel pleasure when I take revenge on you."

"I still want to take revenge on you. I'll kill you sooner or later!"

Gongsun Wan'er lowered the carriage curtain and said viciously.

I'm so angry that I can't even have a few words with Shen Changgong.

However, Shen Changgong's words aroused her vigilance.

That is, when did she start to care about what Shen Changgong thought of her?

She actually worried whether she was a bad person in Shen Changgong's heart?

She was a bad person to begin with.

What's going on? Did I...

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Even if I, Gongsun Wan'er, jump off this carriage and die outside, it is absolutely impossible!

There were 5,000 security troops, all of whom were sent out, with several hundred people in each team, to raid the homes of those officials. Since there were not enough people, some of the imperial guards were also seconded.

There are also Skynet spies leading the way and shadow guards escorting them in secret.

Shen Changgong came to Prince Rong's side because Prince Rong secretly kept assassins, and there should be about fifty of them in the mansion now.

There were more than a dozen of them before, and now that Prince Rong is back, those assassins who went out to protect him have also returned.

The shadow guards were mainly responsible for protecting the troops that went to raid Prince Gong's house. After all, if Prince Rong could keep assassins, Prince Gong might do the same.

Shen Changgong's shadow guards only consist of a team of ten people.

There was no other way. Although Shen Changgong had asked Lu Bing to expand the Shadow Guards from a hundred to at least two thousand to five thousand, the time was still short and assassins could not be trained all at once.

Just as he was about to stop in front of Prince Rong's mansion, a fast horse came galloping from behind and stopped in front of him.

It was Tu Queling with his face covered.

"What are you doing here? Didn't you go to torture Prince Gong?"

Tu Que Ling dismounted and said,

“I think that torturing Prince Gong can be done at any time, but if you rush in like this, your people may suffer heavy casualties, and those fifty-plus assassins are not easy to deal with.

I can go in first and tip them off, saying you're confiscating their property. Have them quickly move out with the people from Prince Rong's mansion. You can ambush them on the street and surprise them. They'll be scattered if they want to protect their people. With the enemy in the open and us in the dark, we can fight them more easily."

"That makes sense. You're much smarter than Gongsun Wan'er. Go quickly. We'll ambush you here."

"it is good."

After Tu Queling finished speaking, he hid in the darkness and ran quickly towards Prince Rong's mansion.

Shen Changgong took the security forces and the imperial guards and hid under the eaves of the houses, on the walls and roofs in the dark streets.

Tu Queling, wearing night clothes, arrived at Prince Rong's mansion, climbed over the wall and sneaked inside.

"Who?!"

Suddenly a loud shout came from the corner of the wall, and then a dozen men in black appeared, pointing their sharp blades at Tu Que Ling.

Tu Que Ling took off her veil and shouted,

"it's me!"

"Ah? Chief? Weren't you captured?"

"That bastard Shen Changgong went to a dinner party with many other people tonight. I took advantage of their carelessness and escaped."

"Oh? What about the Fourth Young Master?"

“He’s still in custody. He has no martial arts skills, so I can’t escape with him.

Listen to me, I just got the news that Shen Changgong is going to bring people to confiscate the house. Hurry up and call out all the ladies, young masters and young ladies in the mansion. Let's run!"

"What? Shen Changgong wants to confiscate our property? Is he crazy? This is Prince Rong's mansion!"

An assassin exclaimed in surprise.

Tu Que Ling was so angry that he slapped him on the head and said through gritted teeth,

"Damn Shen Changgong, would he care about this? Go and call out the ladies, young masters and young ladies!"
