I was vying for favor with four big daddy

Chapter 529
"His Royal Highness is here—"

Following the eunuch's chorus, the gate of the palace creaked and opened to both sides, and the people surrounding the gate of the palace became quiet all of a sudden.

But immediately someone shouted: "His Royal Highness, make the decision for us."

After he finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed non-stop.

Other people who had been wronged knelt down, and those who watched the fun also knelt down together, shouting in unison:

"His Majesty the Empress Dowager, you are the master of the people—"

Qian Shuang's heart was warmed by the cries one after another, but she couldn't help being aggrieved by Tangtang:

"A few days ago, I scolded His Highness everywhere and spread rumors about His Highness. Now that I know that His Highness is in charge, what did I do?"

"Yes."

Ming Wuci was also quite unconvinced: "The grass on the wall is falling too fast, I have decided for you today, do you want to scold Your Highness again when you are free?"

"Sister Wuci—"

Ming Wu Ci came over with a knife in his hand: "Your Highness, who should you kill?"

Tangtang silently put a pack of still warm eggs into her hand: "...Eat a warm egg, calm down."

Mingwu word: "?"

Although I don't understand His Highness's meaning, His Highness has her reasons for everything she does. Maybe eating bird eggs can deter these common people.

Then, in full view of everyone, she squatted in front of the palace gate and calmly ate the roasted bird eggs.

He was so calm that Yan Gui even took a look at her, then took out his handkerchief, wiped Tangtang's little hands clean, supported her waist, and gently pushed her to the position of admiration.

Tangtang looked around at the crowd: "I have heard about everyone's dissatisfaction, so send someone who speaks articulately to explain the grievances, and I will be raised here today to ask questions!"

"His Royal Highness, the Empress Dowager, is holy!"

"His Highness Shengming!"

At this time, no one thinks that this teenage girl is useless, but has become a person who can control their destiny, more effective than the Bodhisattva in the temple.

Everyone shouted in unison, even overly excited, crying while shouting.

Su Chenxing's father stood up first and told about the fact that the Su family had been coerced to help them earn money for the past ten years, and now he was pushed out to block the knife.

Then the people asked a Confucian scholar who had studied to represent everyone, and talked about the unfair treatment of Confucian students from poor families in recent years, as well as the tax issue.

Including the things in the Confucian scholar's hall, and the governor and the magistrate colluded, corrupted a lot of money, and harmed the poor Confucian scholar.

Even some Confucian scholars were coerced to spread some bad remarks about the Empress Dowager, which was what Su Chenxing asked them to say, otherwise who would know what the Empress Dowager is usually like.

After he finished speaking, many ordinary people added that the difficulty of studying for the Confucian scholars whom he knew was trivial.

It also mentioned the head of the guild hall.

It is said that he helped many Confucian scholars, so he was embarrassed by the prefect and the governor. Probably God opened his eyes, so that such a good person did not suffer from their cruel hands.

I hope he can win the gold medal title this time.

The people were all discussing in low voices, and when they gradually calmed down, Tangtang spoke again: "The bitter master has finished speaking, bring the criminal here."

The governor and magistrate who were about to be maimed were dragged over. Their faces were swollen from the beating, like a pig's head, and they couldn't speak clearly:
"His Royal Highness Dan, Zeng Chenyan wronged the king—"

Tangtang curled her lips: "Bah, you're the only one laying eggs. Your whole family is laying eggs. If you want to see the King of Hades, tell me earlier, Sister Wuci——"

"coming!"

Ming Wuci ate the last bird egg, clapped his hands, and came over with a knife in his hand. With a flash of cold light, the knife was placed on the necks of the two people:
"Tell me, where should I cut off first? Head, ears, hands, feet?"

She smacked her lips and moved the knife down: "Seeing that you have done so many bad things, you are all black-hearted, right?"

"The general hasn't seen a black heart yet, why don't you dig it out and have a look?"

The governor and the magistrate cried for their father and mother, stretched out their hands and crawled in front of Tangtang, crying for injustice, begging His Highness to make decisions, and were instantly dragged away by the imperial guards.

Tangtang slapped his ears: "Wrong? The people of the whole Chuanzhou Prefecture have come to frame you, so what you parents and officials have done is really bad!"

"However, since you have been promoted to interrogate the case, there are sufferers and defendants, and both sides have to talk. Tell me, where are you wronged?"

They couldn't say anything, that is, they said that the words of the common people were all nonsense and wronged them.

Before they could finish crying, the guards who confiscated the house had already returned. They first took fifty boxes of gold and silver from the courtyard of the governor's house, and then found ten boxes from the prefect's house.

It took four or five people to lift a box, and when the money was placed in front of them, the crying gradually died down.

Tangtang casually picked up a gold ingot and weighed it:
"How much does this weigh, 20 taels, 50 taels? Then how much is this box? You guys are so rich."

She threw the gold ingot in front of the two of them: "You say so much gold, how big a coffin can you make?"

"Your Highness, Your Highness, please forgive me..."

Now the two of them dared not say anything wrong, and kowtowed non-stop.

Tangtang asked, "Is this considered a confession?"

"Recognize." The two looked at each other and said in unison.

When the common people heard it, they were excited, especially the parents who had lost their sons, who kept shouting:

"Kill them, kill them, uphold justice for the Chuanzhou government, and restore peace to Chuanzhou."

Tangtang looked at the people, and slowly raised her hand, signaling for everyone to be quiet:
"In three days, the confessions of the interrogated prisoners will be posted in front of the gates of the governor and prefect's yamen together with their punishment. Please come and see."

"Over the years, everyone has paid more taxes, taxes and food, and the money that Confucian scholars have been forced to pay. If there is any loss, you can go to the magistrate's office to register."

"It will be counted within three days, and then special officials will return the silver and grain. The extra gold and silver will be left to the Sichuan state government to repair bridges and roads, and relieve the victims."

These words seemed to reassure the people, and everyone cheered.

Someone in the crowd shouted: "Her Royal Highness, the Empress Dowager, is a sage, like a bodhisattva descending into the world, everyone quickly kowtow to Her Highness Bodhisattva."

"Yes, His Highness Bodhisattva Shengming—"

The governor and magistrate who passed out were dragged away, and the gate of the palace was closed, but the voices of praise continued to flow one after another.

Tangtang rushed to the meeting hall and ordered someone to push open the closed door.

All the civil servants and military generals in the Chuanzhou Mansion have been locked here for a long time. Seeing her come in at this time, they trembled with fright.

Tangtang walked to the main seat and sat down, looking down at the group of people: "Did you all hear what happened today?"
