After our homes were confiscated and we were exiled, the women in my clan and I raised a million sol

Early the next morning, the people of Ninggu City went out of their homes to prepare for work.

However, when they arrived at the center of the city, they were surprised to find that a huge platform had been built.

Seeing this platform, the people talked about it. One person asked in confusion: "What's going on? Why is there such a large platform there?"

The other person standing next to him shook his head after hearing what he said, and then said, "I don't know. I wonder if those corrupt officials have any other plans."

After hearing their words, the other people also sighed.

Someone said, "It would be great if the imperial court knew about this. Then they could arrest all these corrupt officials."

But unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, someone snorted coldly, "Don't overthink it. With the court in such a state right now, who knows if the officials sent here will be even worse than these people!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent and shook their heads helplessly.

At this time, Zeng Guodong led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry into the remote and dark house.

His eyes were as sharp as a knife as he swept over the people in the room who had not yet woken up from their sleep.

As the door opened, a slight commotion spread in the air, followed by the sound of panicked heartbeats and rapid breathing, breaking the silence of dawn.

The officials in the room were suddenly awakened from their sleep. Before they could ask what had happened, they saw the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry following Zeng Guodong move quickly and orderly.

They held burlap in their hands and skillfully blindfolded everyone, moving so quickly that no one had time to react.

Afterwards, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry carried these panicked people out of the house one by one as if they were moving silent cargo, leaving only suppressed whispers and heavy footsteps echoing in the empty house.

Some of the officials who were taken away had their legs trembling with fear and could hardly stand. They knew in their hearts that such treatment meant that Zhang Liang was going to take action against them.

Zhang Liang stood on the high platform and glanced at the people gathered below.

As he appeared, the crowd began to stir, pairs of curious eyes focused on him, and discussions arose one after another.

Zhong Tian hurried over with the refugees outside the city. They were ragged and dusty, but there was a glimmer of hope in their eyes.

Zeng Guodong led the officials of Ning Gucheng onto the platform from the back. These people looked nervous and were escorted to their knees.

Zeng Guodong's eyes met Zhang Liang's. There seemed to be a tacit understanding between the two, and they could understand each other's intentions without much words.

Zhang Liang slowly took a few steps forward and stood in the most conspicuous position on the stage.

He took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "Fellow villagers of Ninggu City! I'm from the capital. I learned that you were being oppressed by the officials here, so I came here specifically to help you!"

This sentence was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

The people present were stunned at first, then burst into an uproar, whispering to each other, discussing who this stranger who suddenly appeared was and how he dared to say such words.

More and more people were attracted to come and wanted to find out what this man who claimed to be from the capital had the ability to save them from the dire straits.

The air was filled with a mixture of expectation and doubt, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhang Liang, waiting for his next words and actions.

Among the crowd of refugees, there were several people with evil intentions, their eyes flashing with cunning and greed.

The elderly refugee stood at the edge of the crowd, a sinister smile on his lips, his eyes fixed on Zhang Liang who was speaking on the stage.

Several of his men noticed his smile, and one of them couldn't wait to ask, "Boss, are you planning to deal with this guy?" There was a hint of excitement and anticipation in his voice.

The older refugee sneered, a fierce look flashing in his eyes. He whispered, "Let's make this brat bleed profusely today! Doesn't he like to be a good guy? Let him have fun today!"

After saying that, he whispered a few words in his men's ears, as if he was making some plan.

Hearing his order, the men nodded quickly with ferocious smiles on their faces.

They exchanged a knowing look with each other, then quietly dispersed, ready to act according to the instructions of the older refugee.

The conspiracy of these people was like an undercurrent, quietly surging among the crowd.

The people around were also attracted by Zhang Liang's words, and no one noticed that these people with ulterior motives were secretly planning something.

At this moment, one of the elderly refugee's men stood out from the crowd, his voice filled with doubt and provocation: "You're all talk and no action. We haven't seen you do anything. Are you trying to fool us?"

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately resonated with the other accomplices around them.

They echoed this, stirring up the emotions of the crowd. For a moment, waves of dissatisfied voices rang out from the audience: "That's right! Why should we trust you? What can you do for us?"

Faced with the sudden wave of doubts, Zhang Liang just smiled and did not panic.

He waved his hand gently, signaling the tiger and leopard cavalry behind him to move forward.

When the Tiger and Leopard Riders behind Zhang Liang saw his action, they quickly took action and walked straight towards the people on the stage who had their faces covered.

As the veils were roughly torn off by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, familiar and terrifying faces were revealed.

The noisy crowd instantly quieted down when they recognized the faces that had once brought them fear and pain.

An indescribable atmosphere filled the air, and people began to take a few steps back involuntarily, exchanging terrified glances with each other.

The whole scene fell into dead silence, broken only by occasional whispers.

Zhang Liang stood on the high platform, his gaze firmly scanning the people below. His voice was resounding and powerful: "These people, as officials of Ninggu City, do not consider how to seek benefits for the people. Instead, they exploit the people and commit countless evil deeds. Their deeds are too numerous to list."

"Today, I will make them face the judgment of the people of Ninggu City! I will make them pay for everything they have done!"

His words exploded in the crowd like thunder, causing exclamations.

Many people simply couldn't believe their ears. They looked at each other, their hearts filled with doubt and fear.

Some people even began to retreat quietly, wanting to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible, for fear of being implicated and retaliated against.

Seeing the crowd begin to stir and gradually disperse, Zhang Liang immediately raised his voice, trying to regain everyone's confidence: "Everyone! Please stay! Have you ever considered that it is these people who have caused you to lose your relatives and friends and destroyed your peaceful lives?"

"Don't you want justice for those innocent lives lost? If you choose to escape today, how will the spirits of the deceased view your actions?"

These words seemed to touch the hearts of everyone present, and those who were planning to leave stopped in their tracks.

People stopped and turned around to look at Zhang Liang and the group of criminals on the stage again, with complex emotions in their eyes - fear of unknown danger and a desire for justice.

The air was filled with a tense and expectant atmosphere, and everyone was waiting to see what would happen next.

At the same time, the officials of Ninggucheng who were kneeling on the stage felt unprecedented panic when they heard that Zhang Liang wanted the untouchables below to judge them.

One of them bravely shouted to the audience: "What qualifications do you lowly people have to judge us? Get out of here!"

Another person said to them, "We are officials appointed by the imperial court! If you listen to this guy, then when the imperial court sends someone here, you will all be killed without a burial place!"

"If you know what's good for you, then quickly capture this man and release us! Then we might give you, the untouchables, some rewards!"
