Yongzhou City was in chaos.

Zhuge Yu led his men to fire at random shots on the city wall, while Wang Anshi and Gu Twenty-three took control of the entire Xie family mansion with only about two hundred people.

Wang Anshi moved a bench and sat at the door of the Xie family mansion. On the right was a small wooden coffee table with a pot of cold tea and two cups on it.

Wang Anshi read the petition in his hand: "Xie Tingwan, the daughter of the Xie family, tortured and killed three maids. According to the Yunzhou Constitution, this violated the citizens' right to life and should be executed. She will be imprisoned first and executed after the army enters the city."

Many people from Yongzhou were peeking in front of the Xie family's door, their eyes wide open.

Lord Wang, the imperial envoy of Yunzhou, said he wanted to redress the grievances of the people. Can he really do it?

The Xie family has absolute power in Yongzhou, how could they just do that?

"Do you know this eldest daughter of the Xie family?" A middle-aged man in a gray short-sleeved brown shirt had blended in with the people of Yongzhou at some point.

"you are?"

"Special reporter for Yunzhou Weekly."

Alas!

Reporter!

Even though not everyone could read, most had heard of the Yunzhou Weekly. It was said to be an extremely remarkable newspaper that even the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty read it.

"When did you come to Yongzhou?" a citizen asked curiously.

"Some of them followed Lord Wang, and some followed Lord Zhuge. They were outside the city recording the bravery and heroism of the Yunzhou soldiers."

A woman covered her mouth in surprise: "Is the matter of our Yongzhou going to spread throughout the nine provinces?"

The middle-aged man took out his reporter badge and hung it on his chest: "Hi. You are the only ones in the city, so you don't know yet. Yongzhou concerns the whole world. Da Zhou, Xixia, and even Goryeo are all paying attention to it."

Some people who had received a few years of education recognized the words "Yunzhou Weekly" on the sign and believed him a little.

"Will there be a chance that what we say will appear in Yunzhou Weekly?"

"That's natural."

"I'll do it! I often work part-time in the Xie family, so I know a lot. Xie Tingwan, the eldest daughter of the Xie family, is said to be kind and gentle to the outside world, but in fact she is a fierce old hag, and she has many ways to torture people in secret."

"Oh? Tell me in detail." The middle-aged reporter gave him five cents.

"She was quite old, but she didn't like women younger and prettier than she was. She killed more than just three maids, she also killed all of her husband's concubines."

"Ah?! Didn't Xiao Taohong who jumped into the well two years ago say that she was too embarrassed to live after being discovered cheating on her husband? Because of this, her parents couldn't stay in Yongzhou anymore and left for another place."

The man grinned and said mysteriously, "How could that be possible? In fact, the Xie family gave twenty taels of silver, and Xiao Taohong's parents took the money and went to his family's Dalang."

Tsk tsk.

Everyone sighed.

While they were chatting, two Yunzhou soldiers drove an old woman out of the gate.

The old woman was wearing gorgeous clothes and had messy hair. Although she was quite old, judging from her oval face and willow-shaped eyebrows, she was also a great beauty when she was young. It was just that her sharp eyes destroyed her gentle beauty.

"How dare you! Wang Anshi, since you arrived in Yongzhou, our Xie family has treated you with courtesy. But you took advantage of my father and brother going up to the city wall to defend against the enemy and drew your swords against us, the old, weak, women and children. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the world? When my father and brother return, you will not let this go unpunished."

Even though the old woman was being held up, her arrogance could not be suppressed.

The look she gave Wang Anshi was as if she wanted to kill him.

Wang Anshi was not afraid. He brushed off the petition in his hand, drank a sip of tea, and moistened his throat: "Did you hear what I just said? What do you have to say?"

Xie Tingwan snorted coldly and turned his head away stubbornly: "Those slaves have signed indentures, they are just objects that can be beaten and scolded at will. We tell them to give birth and they give birth, and we tell them to die and they die. As for concubines, since they have entered my family, they are my family members. You can control the heavens and the earth, but how can you control my family affairs?!"

Wang Anshi: "Before doing something bad, why don't you read the laws of Yunzhou? Yongzhou belongs to Duke Yun, and we should abide by the laws of Duke Yun, not your Xie family."

"Ha!" Xie Tingwan snorted disdainfully.

Why all that talk?

It's nothing more than bullying the Xie family because their son is not at home.

She glanced at everyone coldly, raised her neck high, and said defiantly: "Law? The law is what the world follows. I want to see if the law of Duke Yun can control our Xie family!"

The onlookers were intimidated by her aura and became increasingly quiet, with a shadow hanging over everyone's hearts.

The Xie family is like a centipede, which will not die even if it is dead. If the Xie family is given a chance to turn things around, Yongzhou will probably face the most terrible revenge!

Wang Anshi noticed the slight change in public opinion and made a prompt decision. He drew his sword and put it on Xie Tingwan's neck.

"This sword is called the Imperial Sword, and was given to me by Duke Yun. It can kill first and report later. Congratulations, you are the first person killed by the Imperial Sword!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Anshi waved his hand vigorously.

A head with its eyes open rolled to the ground.

The boiling hot blood splashed on the threshold of the Xie family, stunned everyone.

Wang Anshi took the silk cloth handed over by Zeng Gong and wiped the blood-stained sword. The sword reflected a cold light, making him look like a Shura.

Only after the sword was cleaned to a spotless state did Wang Anshi smile, sit down, and continue reading the charges: "Next."

……

Most of the masters of the Xie family were killed, and the gate of Yongzhou city was opened from the inside by clever soldiers.

Zhuge Yu led his troops into the city and immediately occupied the government office, placing all the original officials under house arrest in the backyard of the office, awaiting investigation.

Zhuge Yu met Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong, both of whom were people that Gu Nanxi valued. They also worked together to put on a big show through correspondence, so they had some friendship and therefore the communication was smooth.

Reporters from Yunzhou Weekly have spread to various places in Yongzhou. They want to collect information and verify the Xie family's reputation for evil.

At the same time, Zhuge Yu ordered the release of those civilians who were conscripted either voluntarily or forcibly.

When spring comes and flowers bloom, these civilians should go to the fields instead of being cannon fodder in the city.

The Battle of Yongzhou started with great fanfare, the process was thrilling, and it ended with bloodshed.

But when the people of Yongzhou overcame their fear and took to the streets again, they were surprised to find that their neighbors, relatives and friends were all there.

One fifth of the dead were members of the Xie family, and the rest were their followers and unlucky people.

"Go quickly! Lord Wang is still at the government gate receiving the petition!"

"It is said that the Xie family will be put on trial in seven days."

"Go quickly! Go quickly!"

Wang Anshi stayed in the government office, while Zeng Gong and Gu Ershisan went to rescue the abducted black miners.

Temuqile also went with them to pick up his tribe members.

As soon as he arrived at the mine, Temuqile burst into tears.

The healthy men were tortured to the point of being skin and bones. Their huge eyes looked at them blankly: "Who are you?"
