Afterwards, Emperor Zhaowen ordered the commander of the imperial guard, Ge Wei, to go to Yunzhou Prefecture and join forces with the Nanlai assassins stationed in Yunzhou Prefecture to poison and massacre Prince Lin of Jiyang on New Year's Eve.

That day, Prince Lin's Mansion suffered heavy casualties.

The assassination attempt failed, and almost all the secret guards and assassins hired by Emperor Zhaowen and Empress Dowager Chen were wiped out.

When Emperor Zhaowen and Empress Dowager Chen failed in their first plan, they came up with another one. They had someone set fire to the torture room in Jiyang where Hong Yang and others were imprisoned.

Fortunately, Hong Yang and others were released before the torture chamber was burned down.

The arsonist was also arrested.

Soon after, a group of Nanlai people came to the Empress Dowager Chen. Among them, the four Yus around her - Yu Chun, Yu Xiao, Yu Qi and Yu Qing - had the best kung fu.

Except for Siyu who was left in the palace to protect Queen Mother Chen, the rest were sent to Jiyang to sabotage the literary examination, intending to make the people of the world lose confidence in the Northern Ji Kingdom.

In order to prepare for the literary competition, Emperor Ji Lin dispatched a large number of guards, who were able to capture all the offenders during the literary competition.

With all the witnesses and evidence, Li Zhaocai could not deny it. He just kept saying that he was not aware of it and that it was arranged by others. He was once again spurned by Li Zhaoning and Li Zhaojie.

The fourth charge against Li Zhaocai was that he released a death row prisoner from Bashu County and ordered him to rob passing merchants at Pulu Mountain. The money he earned was used to support more killers.

Not only Li Zhaocai was involved in this crime, but the Duke of Yingguo was also involved.

The bandits in Pulu Mountain were repeatedly cleared out, but they were never eradicated. The reason was that there were two groups of bandits in Pulu Mountain. They cooperated with each other, covered each other, and avoided pursuit by the government.

In order to seize the property of Chen Dongjia of Baoqing Tower, the prince of Yingguo, Ruan Xinming, brutally killed Chen Dongjia's entire family.

Ruan Xinming was sentenced to exile in Quyan County of Bashu Commandery to open up wasteland. Chen Yangli, the posthumous daughter of the Chen family, once went to look for Ruan Xinming, but found that Ruan Xinming was living quite well in the place of exile.

Yang Li also heard from the servants around Ruan Xinming that the Duke of Ying's Mansion and Prince An's Mansion had made preparations to send people to Yunzhou Prefecture to rob passing merchants, so that they could collect enough money to attack Prince Lin.

Yang Li was able to grow up safely thanks to the protection of Prince Lin's Mansion. After hearing the servant's words, he returned to the capital without even caring about revenge.

On the way, she saw people who looked like prisoners, being driven to Pulu Mountain in Yunzhou Prefecture.

As these people fled to Mount Pulu, more and more people joined them and mixed in.

After that, the Pulu Mountain bandits became notorious throughout the world. Local government went to encircle and suppress them many times, but they were never able to completely wipe them out.

Later, the largest military supplier in Yucheng was robbed and killed. In anger, Prince Qing personally led the Ministry of War to encircle and suppress the bandits, but found that the bandits had disappeared.

The former prefect of Yunzhou Prefecture and the magistrate of Jincheng County were demoted, and soon, Duke Yingguo Ruan Bai recommended his own people to take over their positions.

During that period, the Pulu Mountain bandits were quiet for two months, but soon returned to their old ways.

At that time, no one thought that there were two groups of bandits in Pulu Mountain. It was not until five years ago when Li Jiren killed more than half of the bandits on his way back to Jiyang that he thought that King Qing must have been deceived.

Unfortunately, Li Jiren was busy with the affairs of Jiyang and had no time to investigate the matter of Pulu Mountain.

It was not until June of the third year of Zhaowen that Han Qingyun and the villagers of Fengye Village were fleeing when they were again attacked by bandits and the entire group of Pulushan was captured in one fell swoop.

There, they met Lan Niang and others.

Except for Yanhua who had died, all the women they rescued that day - Lanniang, Liumei, Qingran, Zhenzhen, Shuitao, Yingzi, Fengying, and Lianman - all came onto the stage.

Lu Yanyan's eyes turned red and she stood with them. Soon after, Han Huaiyu and Han Huaixi also stood beside them.

Lu Yanyan once told Lan Niang that with the accounts that Li Jiren retrieved from Pulu Mountain and the assassins they captured, there was no need for them to testify and the person behind the scenes could be punished.

Ke Lanniang and the others must seek justice for themselves. This is the promise they made to Yanhua before her death. As long as there is a chance, they will do it even if they face insults and contempt.

What's more, the victim is innocent!

If they really cannot face their future life, they will all go to Beiji State. Beiji will never discriminate against the victims.

Fortunately, the people behind them, their families, lovers, and friends, understand and respect them, and support their choices.

Lu Yanyan, Han Huaiyu, and Han Huaixi stood in front of them. They couldn't replace the plight of these poor women, but they hoped to protect them from some rumors...

Before Liang Daying's death, Lan Niang was responsible for managing the accounts of Pulu Mountain.

Qingran and Liumei were once possessed by Liang Daying and Lin Sanqi respectively, and knew many secrets.

Zhenzhen, Yingzi and others also learned a lot from the bandits.

There are two bandit camps in Pulu Mountain, not far from each other.

One group of people were almost all from Nanlai, while in the village where Lan Niang and others were imprisoned, only a dozen people including Liang Daying and Lin Sanqi were from Nanlai.

Liang Daying and Lin Sanqi used their people to cover for each other.

After being wiped out by Prince Qing, the other group of people hid themselves and dared not cause trouble again.

Liang Daying and his gang, protected by local officials, became more and more brutal in their robberies.

Liang Daying also took out 90% of the silver in the stronghold and gave it to another group of people.

Later, Liang Daying died, and Lin Sanqi was frightened for several months. Until the silver and grain in the village were not enough to maintain his previous extravagance, Lin Sanqi began to rob passers-by again.

Because the bandit incident was such a big deal, Lin Sanqi and his men couldn't rob big merchants, so they robbed ordinary people.

Because there was not much silver, Lin Sanqi temporarily cut off contact with the other group of thieves.

Later, Lin Sanqi robbed Wuping County Lieutenant Qiao Bing. Fearing that he would get into trouble, Lin Sanqi sent the silver from the stronghold to the government, asking the government to turn a blind eye.

This is also the reason why Han Qingyun and others only found a small amount of silver and money on the mountain.

Afterwards, Lin Sanqi and his gang were all killed. Lan Niang and others stayed in the mountains to recuperate. They also saw someone going to inquire about the situation.

Just because Zhenzhen's family came to pick her up, and Lan Niang was worried that they would be killed by the bandits and government officials in collusion with Liang Daying, she took everyone away from Pulu Mountain.

After Han Qingyun and others were brought back to Jiyang by Li Jiren, Li Jiren found that something was wrong and sent people to Pulu Mountain to retrieve the account books.

The account book had no clear direction and Li Jiren had no idea at first.

Until Qingran went to Jiyang, wave after wave of assassins poured into Jiyang.

The truth about the two gangs of bandits in Pulu Mountain has come to light.

Besides Liang Daying's group, who were completely wiped out, another group of bandits were the Nanlai assassins who had entered Prince Lin's mansion with Ge Wei's imperial guards on New Year's Eve...

In addition to Lan Niang and others, the former bandit and assassin, the Bashu County official who was instructed by the Yingguo Mansion and the Bashu County Anwang Mansion to release extremely guilty prisoners, the officials of Yunzhou Mansion who covered up for the bandits, and the stewards and servants of the Yingguo Mansion who were involved were all brought to the stage.

At that time, the Duke of Ying and King An joined forces to release prisoners and assassins from Nanlai to rob innocent people in Pulu Mountain. Their crimes were too numerous to list.

Faced with irrefutable evidence, Li Zhaocai and Ruan Bai, who had suffered a stroke and was paralyzed, pleaded guilty.

Lan Niang and others cried bitterly. Even if they were not standing here, their real enemies would pay the price.

But they stood up and told their unbearable past in person. From now on, the past can no longer bind them.

Li Zhaoying looked at Li Jixin, and Li Jixin nodded.

"Dayu and Beiji share the same roots. From now on, Dayu will follow Beiji's rules regarding women's rights.

All Dayu women enjoy the same rights as men in inheritance, education, and selection for official positions through imperial examinations.

Anyone who bullies a woman will be punished with severe penalties such as flogging, chopping off hands, castration, and beheading, depending on the severity of the offense.

Anyone who insults a woman by making her feel bad and abusive towards her will be fined or detained. If the offender is a relative of the woman, the punishment will be doubled..."
