Female special forces soldiers in ancient times

Just as Madam Lin was about to explode, someone beat her to it.

All they heard was a series of hurried footsteps behind them.

Li Zhong and Li Xiang arrived with a squad of city defense soldiers as reinforcements.

Even Fan Debiao of the Court of Judicial Review and the Minister of Justice sent out all the elites from their respective departments.

"Our Li clan has always been law-abiding and law-abiding in our business dealings. Grand Tutor He has brought so many people here."

What are they trying to do? Tell them all to leave immediately.

Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!

"Prime Minister Li, what an arrogant official you are! Today, I, a servant of the He family, am treated with contempt!"

We're eating hair strands in this tavern, yet your Li family insists on protecting us.

Isn't this treating the law like a joke?

Seeing that Li Zhong and Li Xiang had brought a large number of people, He Chong resorted to sophistry and unreasonable arguments.

But he was not afraid, because he knew very well that the main force was on its way.

Anyway, the He family is determined to go head-to-head with the Li family today.

When Madam Liang heard that He Chong was making baseless accusations against the Li family,

Suddenly anger rose in her heart, her eyes narrowed, she took a step forward and put her hands on her hips.

"Hmph! Grand Tutor He, you've certainly pinned that label on me very easily."

My family's Jufu Tavern has been open on South Street for thirty years.

Every time, the ingredients are blanched three times and the cook wears a net cap while cooking.

Why is it that as soon as someone from the He family arrives, a strand of hair "falls" into the dish?

It seems your servants came here this morning with a hair in their hair to cause trouble!

Do you really think you can just throw mud at my Li family's kitchen fire like that?

"Grand Tutor He, I advise you to take your men and leave immediately."

To avoid a complete breakdown in relations, we have differing political views on the matter of deposing the emperor.

It's perfectly normal to have disagreements, but public and private matters must be kept separate!

Li Xiang also stepped forward, standing in front of Madam Liang, showing the couple working together as a team.

"Hehe! It's rare to have such good weather in the capital today."

Why is everyone making such a big fuss? What's going on, Grand Tutor He?

At this moment, He Yalan, along with Wu Lixin, Wu Xiong'an, and Wang Chong,

Wang Song and the others pushed their way out of the crowd.

She pretended to be completely unaware and echoed He Chong's words.

At the same time, He Yalan also brought a number of armed guards and private armed forces to reinforce her.

Seeing that the main force had finally arrived, He Chong was secretly delighted and immediately cupped his hands in greeting to He Yalan.

Her voice feigned a hint of grievance: "Reporting to the late Empress Dowager!"

Today, a servant of the He family dined at Jufulou Restaurant and found shredded hair in one of the dishes.

They just wanted to argue with the shopkeeper, but who knew that Prime Minister Li's family...

Yet they forcefully protect and condone this; this is clearly bullying others by abusing their power!

"Ah! Is that so!" Wu Xiong'an stepped forward with a sarcastic tone.

Behind him also appeared a squad of Wu family's elite private soldiers.

The steel knives at each waist gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

"I say, Prime Minister Li, a country has its laws, and a family has its rules."

We can't just break the rules like that!

"Lord Wu is right. When doing business, one must operate legally, compliantly, and with integrity."

He Yalan somehow managed to reach an agreement with the Wu and Wang families at some point.

This time, they even brought both families along to cause trouble for the Li family.

In addition, the Wang family and the Wu family have always stood together through thick and thin.

So as soon as Wu Xiong'an finished speaking, Wang Chong immediately echoed him.

He then suddenly waved his hand, and more than a hundred Wu family soldiers surged out from the street corner.

The east end of South Street was completely blocked.

"Alright, alright! Let's prioritize harmony; taking a step back will open up a whole new world."

It's just a small matter, why make such a big fuss?

He Yalan smiled slightly, waved to everyone, and spoke in a very magnanimous tone.

But in reality, it's a show of mercy, a gesture of the victor.

"Prime Minister Li, Minister Li, although Qianqian suffered misfortune last year due to the Fourth Prince's incident..."

But no matter what, we're still related by marriage.

"Don't you know that my son and I suffered an unjust injustice at the hands of the late Emperor?"

At this point, He Yalan glanced triumphantly at the Li family members.

Then, she pointed to the eldest prince and continued, pressing her advantage:

"Look at my son, he is no longer as addicted to wine and women as he used to be."

He has become more mature and stable, and you, as his second and third uncles, have done so.

Shouldn't we support him? Besides, after the deposed emperor...

Emperor Xia's youngest son was only a little over two months old.

My son, however, is already thirty and in his prime. Who is more suitable to succeed to the throne?

"Don't you two, my beloved ministers of the Li family, understand this?"

It must be admitted that He Yalan was able to achieve great things during the reign of the late emperor.

She has held the position of Empress for over twenty years; she certainly has some skills.

She first used the phrase "harmony is precious" to mask their military intimidation of the Li family today.

They will again leverage the past relationship between the eldest prince and Li Qianqian to appeal to the Li family with kinship and warmth.

Then she would bring up old grievances, recounting the "injustice done to the late emperor" from the previous year to portray herself and the eldest prince as victims.

Then, a comparison of the legitimacy of the succession was made between the eldest prince, a 30-year-old man, and the young emperor, who was only 2 months old.

Subsequently, the "hair dispute" was spoofed and replaced with the "deposing the emperor and establishing an heir" issue.

At this time, the private armies of the Wu and Wang families had already blocked South Street. Wu Xiong'an drew his sword...

Wang Chong deployed crossbows to exert military pressure.

Taking advantage of the situation, she issued a final ultimatum to the Li family, stating that "supporting the eldest prince will quell the trouble."

She played three cards: "marriage alliance," "tragedy," and "strength."

This puts the Li family in a dilemma: "Support the eldest prince = preserve the family business, oppose him = face annihilation."

At this moment, He Yalan has stepped out from behind the scenes and into the limelight.

By employing both armed confrontation and public opinion campaigning, they forced the Li family to clarify their stance on the power chessboard.

After He Yalan finished speaking, the entire South Street fell silent instantly.

Li Zhong and Li Xiang exchanged a glance, both seeing seriousness in each other's eyes.

Madam Lin and Madam Liang, the two sisters-in-law, looked at each other.

The tightly clenched handkerchief was almost torn to shreds.

It is clear that He Yalan's rehearsal of forcing the emperor to abdicate had perfectly achieved its intended effect.

The Li family members knew that they had now fallen into a disadvantageous position.

Seeing this, He Yalan chuckled softly at Li Zhong and Li Xiang.

"Why do you two, my beloved ministers of the Li family, look so distressed?"

She took a small step towards Li Zhong and Li Xiang.

"From the day Qianqian married my son, we have been family."

If my son ascends the throne, he will never mistreat your Li family.

"I guarantee that the Li family will only prosper in the future!"

"Haha, hahaha! My Li family is where it is today!"

"All of this is the result of generations of hard work and struggle by our clan. How could it be achieved through the guarantees of others?"

Just as He Yalan was smugly trying to "lure" Li Zhong, Li Xiang, and others into surrendering,

A crisp laugh suddenly rang out from the entrance of South Street.

Everyone turned around in the direction of the sound and saw He Yalan and the He family's group.

Everyone was immediately shocked, while the entire Li family showed endless joy on their faces.

"Ah! That damned Li Tingting, how is she still alive?"

He Yalan's expression changed drastically.
