The mother looked at her child lovingly, her eyes full of satisfaction.

"Brother, eat slowly, don't choke."

A young man said to the older brother next to him, and handed the steamed bun he had received to the older brother.

"Eat a pancake and press it down."

"Thank you, brother. I...I'm really hungry."

The elder brother took the steamed bun and looked at the young man gratefully.

After eating the porridge, the people's faces became rosy and they were in much better spirits than before.

Compared to the numbness of the previous two days, they are now full of hope for life.

At this moment, his trust in the court reached its peak, and he was full of gratitude to these Jinyiwei.

"Sir, you are truly our saviors!"

An old man walked up to Zhang Xianhuai and knelt down with a plop.

"Get up, get up, old man! I'm so young, how can I bear your worship!"

"This is what the court should do."

Zhang Xianhuai quickly helped the old man up.

"As long as everyone lives a good life, it will be the best reward for the court."

"Master, don't worry, we will live a good life."

The people said one after another.

In the days that followed, Taiyuan City began to slowly recover with the help of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

The Jinyiwei not only continued to distribute supplies, but also organized the people to repair houses and tidy up the streets.

"Fellow villagers, let's clean up this street together so that it will be more convenient to walk in the future." A Jinyiwei directed the people to work.

"Okay, sir, we will listen to you." The people responded positively and picked up their tools to start working.

"Everyone, work hard to repair this house so it can be warmer in winter," said another Jinyiwei.

"Sir, we don't know how to repair a house. You have to teach us." said a young man.

"No problem, just follow me." Jinyiwei said with a smile.

After spending half a month.

Taiyuan City began to slowly come back to life.

Many people have a plaque in their homes.

There was no one's name on it.

Only three words.

Jinyiwei!

On the high platform in Yingkou, officials of all ranks from Taiyuan City were tied up by the Embroidered Uniform Guards and looked in a miserable state.

If they were not useful alive, the Jinyiwei would not give them any food to eat during this period.

Their former prestige has long since vanished, leaving only fear and despair on their faces.

The people in the audience looked at these officials who had acted tyrannically in the past, their eyes burning with anger, which was the hatred accumulated from years of oppression and exploitation.

"You corrupt officials, now you have come to this day!" An old man pointed at the platform with trembling hands, his voice becoming hoarse with anger.

"That's right, we have suffered a lot over the years!" The people around echoed, and there was a commotion in the crowd.

Zhang Xianhuai stood on the side of the platform, looking at these officials with a cold expression, without a trace of mercy in his eyes.

He waved his hand and shouted, "Execution!"

The Jinyiwei received the order and raised the big swords in their hands high. With a flash of cold light, the swords fell and the head rolled.

As heads fell to the ground and blood gushed out, the people in the audience were first silent, and then burst into cheers.

The cheers resounded like thunder through the sky, venting the pain and resentment they had accumulated over the years.

"Good! Good kill!"

"These corrupt officials should have died long ago!"

The people shouted, some even cried with excitement. These people had been causing them harm for who knows how many years!

Zhang Xianhuai looked at the cheering people and smiled.

He walked to the center of the platform, took out the imperial edict, held it high, and said loudly: "People of Taiyuan, His Majesty has an order!"

"Your Majesty has ordered that you do not need to kneel!"

The cheers from the audience gradually died down, and the people held their breath and listened quietly.

"I rule the Tang Dynasty, hoping for peace under heaven. However, the Wang family of Taiyuan has repaid kindness with enmity, committing heinous crimes."

"I remember the princess's virtuous heart and the Earl of Protectorate's loyalty and bravery; both were treasures of the nation. For her own selfish gain, Wang persecuted them both to death. I am deeply saddened."

"In Taiyuan, the Wang family oppressed the people, imposed heavy taxes, robbed women, and disregarded the law. They even attempted rebellion, endangering the country."
