The wives of the concubines are empresses

After a quarter of an hour's recess, the girl came out happily and gave the defendant Shangguan Wanjun a proud and sarcastic smile.

"Girl, you have been wearing a veil. Are you too ugly to be seen in public?"

Lianhua exploded: "What did you say? Say it again?"

"I said your master is too ugly to be seen by others."

The adult returned to his seat and banged the gavel.

"Silence! This is not the place for you to make noise."

Lianhua shut up in anger. She was so angry that she would die. If her master had not been on a secret tour, she would not have been so angry.

"Okay, this matter is closed. Court is adjourned."

Shangguan Wanjun walked towards the front yard with cold eyes and an air of majesty.

I don’t know what Xiao Cui said, but Lianhua slapped the other person.

"Snapped……"

A solid slap, delivered with all his strength, left a red palm print in the shape of a Five Finger Mountain on Xiao Cui's face.

"Ah, you dare to hit me, I will fight you."

The girl was also very angry. She reached out and quickly pulled off Shangguan Wanjun's veil, revealing her true face, which was a gentle and cold face.

"you……"

The yamen runners who had not yet retreated were stunned, their eyes filled with amazement.

Shangguan Wanjun's eyes became increasingly cold, and Liu Cheng was shocked.

"Bold, you are presumptuous."

The girl was startled by the sudden sound.

"Playing tricks, Xiao Cui, let's go."

Shangguan Wanjun placed her hands on her abdomen and turned around: "Did I let you go?"

The moment he turned around, the Dali Temple Minister's expression changed drastically.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

Shangguan Wanjun's guards and the Dali Temple's guards all knelt down to pay homage. The master and servant, who were about to leave, were stunned by the scene before them.

"What...Emperor...?"

Shangguan Wanjun raised her hand and said, "No need to be polite. Arrest them for me."

When Lord Xiang heard the noise, he heard the word "Emperor" and ran out in fright, his official hat tilted.

Seeing the handsome-looking Lord Xiang, Shangguan Wanjun was furious.

"Catch him for me."

The guards quickly arrested Lord Xiang. The "surprise" came so quickly that Lord Xiang was stunned the whole time.

Liu Cheng quickly pulled out the armchair, and Shangguan Wanjun sat down directly. She glanced at the whole room, saw the gavel on the table, and slammed it hard.

"Snapped."

"Your Excellency, I am so bold as to ask you, as an official appointed by the court, what is your punishment for knowingly breaking the law and disregarding it?"

The Dali Temple Minister bowed and said: "Your Majesty, court officials who knowingly break the law should be stripped of their official positions."

Shangguan Wanjun sneered, "Then punish him according to the law. Strip him of his official position, confiscate his property, demote him to a commoner, and ban him from ever holding an official position. His descendants will also be barred from taking the imperial examinations and becoming officials for the next three generations."

The people watched God's reversal and exclaimed that it was against the will of heaven.

They actually saw the emperor, and the key point is that they became defendants. This is really against the will of heaven.

Thinking of Lord Xiang's behavior, the people all knelt down and shouted.

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

Lord Xiang was dumbfounded: "Your Majesty, please give me another chance."

The guards held him down tightly.

"Minister of the Dali Temple, you have full authority to investigate this matter. Please step aside."

The Dali Temple Minister bowed respectfully and said, "I accept your order."

When Lord Youfufeng Nian heard the news and rushed over, he was completely dumbfounded when he saw the emperor sitting on the throne.

"Your Majesty, I am sorry for being late in welcoming you. Please forgive me." What is going on? Why would the emperor suddenly come to the Dali Temple?

When Shangguan Wanjun saw Youfufeng of Jingzhao Yin, her expression became serious.

"Send your name."

"I am still young."

"You, immediately bring men to take the Director of the Maritime Customs Office to jail for me. All his property will be confiscated. If you can't handle this properly, bring your head before me."

The old man was so frightened that he was sweating profusely: "I obey your order."

The officers and soldiers left Jingzhao Yin in a mighty procession and headed for the Sibo Tizhusi and Liang Mansion.

The girl was from the Liang family, and she collapsed to the ground in fear.

Xiao Cui fainted from fright.

Liu Cheng whispered, "Your Majesty, that girl fainted from fright."

"Wake up."

Lianhua volunteered, bent down, and reached out to pinch and press hard on Xiao Cuiren's philtrum.

Xiao Cui woke up in pain: "Ah, it hurts."

Seeing the small face so close to her, Xiao Cui fainted again.

Lianhua would not give her this chance. She pinched her philtrum again without changing her expression. Liuli, who was standing by, felt the pain just by looking at her.

"This person has been arrogant and domineering towards the master and servant, and has shown disrespect for others. He has committed crimes and is to be punished with twenty lashes of the cane, to be carried out immediately."

After the beating, both men's buttocks were covered in blood and they lay on the ground like a puddle of mud.

Shangguan Wanjun looked at Xiao Cui and sneered: "The maid has no respect for the inferior. She relied on the master's family to do evil, framed others, and beat others. She will be slapped in the face fifty times."

Lianhua wanted to step forward, but Liu Cheng shook his head at her and she had no choice but to retreat.

Shangguan Wanjun pointed casually, and a tall and strong man stepped out.

"I humble my duty and obey the decree."

In the courtroom, the sound of slapping faces resounded through the sky.

"what……"

The girl was stunned and cried for mercy.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life."

"I'm not going to kill you. I'm just going to spank you with a stick and a slap. Don't worry, once your maid is done spanking you, it will be your turn."

The girl was disheartened when she heard this, and soon came to her and gave her fifty slaps as well, saying that she should be punished equally for allowing her maid to do evil.

There had never been a situation in which the emperor personally sat in Jingzhao Yin to punish criminals, which set a precedent.

Shangguan Wanjun looked at her guards and said, "Go back to the palace and bring Concubine Lu and Concubine Xuan."

The guard left and rode the Jingzhao Yin Yamen's horse towards the palace.

Concubine Lu Liu Haiming and Concubine Xuan Song Xuanyi rushed to Jingzhao Yin at full speed and found that the emperor was solving a case for the people.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant."

"No need to be polite, just sit down and rest for a while."

The two men bowed, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Many officials and common people rushed to see the empress's appearance.

"If anyone else has grievances to complain about, I am here to speak boldly."

A young girl in ordinary clothes walked resolutely into the court.

"I am accusing my concubine of stealing my mother's dowry." She didn't dare to sue her father, but she dared to sue her concubine.

Listening to the unusual case, Shangguan Wanjun frowned and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Who is this person? Do you have any evidence?"

"I, Gong Huifang, have never seen my mother's dowry, but my late mother herself said that she did have a dowry, and it was left to me as a dowry. I beg the Emperor to make the decision for me. I am willing to donate half of my dowry to the national treasury to help the people."

Seeing the determination in her eyes, Shangguan Wanjun was shocked.

"Okay, if it's true, I will definitely take back your dowry, but if it's false, do you know what the consequences will be?"

The pretty girl's eyes were filled with confusion: "I will accept the punishment from the emperor."

"Okay, if it's false, you will be sent to the palace as a maid for three years. Someone, go to the palace and investigate."

Shangguan Wanjun, who was extremely hungry, decided to withdraw from the court.

In the front yard, Shangguan Wanjun was seriously eating the vegetable buns, sesame cakes and pastries bought by Liuli.

Concubine Lu Liu Haiming quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to the emperor, fearing that she would choke.

"Your Majesty, please eat slowly."

Shangguan Wanjun looked at Xuanpin and gave him a glare.

"You're not the one who's hungry, so of course you're not in a hurry."

Concubine Xuan Song Xuanyi shut up awkwardly.

After eating and drinking her fill, Shangguan Wanjun started to do her business.

"I called you here to manage Jingzhao Yin."

Concubine Xuan Song Xuanyi was shocked: "Ah, Your Majesty, you are not joking, right?"

"Do you think I'm a joker?"

Concubine Xuan Song Xuanyi was silent.
