I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 1181 He and She

Without turning his head, Su Chang'an raised his hand and pressed it on Ku Yue's head to prevent her from getting closer.

But Kuyue, with her arms outstretched and her face covered in tears and snot, rushed toward Su Chang'an.

Yu Jin's expression had changed drastically.

Eighth rank, ninth rank.
The weakest of the women who landed in the courtyard were at least eighth-rank, and the majority were ninth-rank.

Especially that woman in a tight-fitting outfit with a high ponytail, a ninth-rank martial arts expert.
A woman's ninth-rank martial arts technique!

Xia looked around in surprise, then glanced at Su Chang'an and Ku Yue, wondering what was going on.
Who are these people?

Li Wanhai, equally shocked, looked left and right at the newcomers in the courtyard, finally turning his head to look at the woman wearing a veil. His eyes showed some surprise. A martial arts person? The martial arts world is full of female sects. A person from Red Flower Pool? No, how could I not know someone from Red Flower Pool?

That's what he thought, but Li Wanhai didn't dare to act rashly. Instead, he looked up at Bai Gui, ultimately deciding to follow Bai Gui's arrangements.

But out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but glance at the women, each with their hands on the hilts of their knives.

As fellow members of the martial arts world, his strength was at the fifth rank, which was remarkable even within their own gang. However, at first glance...
There is no one he can see through.

Although Li Wanhai was feeling weak, he knew one thing: even if these people were very powerful martial arts figures, they would have to lie down here!

The Imperial Court's Capital Prefecture—even if you're a Grandmaster of the Ultimate Realm, try messing around with me!
But then he looked up.
Bai Gui, who had just stood up, was now deathly pale, and his lips were turning purple as he trembled uncontrollably.

The clerk stared wide-eyed at the women wielding knives in the courtyard outside the courtroom, his face filled with disbelief.

Snapped!
suddenly!

Bai Gui wanted to walk out from behind the large table in the courtroom, but after taking only one step, he didn't know if his legs were weak or what, and he fell face-first to the side of the table.

The constables tried to help him up, but Bai Gui pushed them away!

Bai Gui hadn't even fully stood up when he tried to go down the steps. But after taking only two steps, he became extremely flustered. He didn't even grab the table next to him, just wanted to get down as quickly as possible. But when he stepped on the hem of his official robe, he fell heavily down the steps.

See this scene.
Li Wanhai, who had just witnessed this scene, was stunned. What was wrong with Uncle Bai?
I've never been this flustered even when I've met such a high-ranking official as the Prefect of the Capital.

The people outside the courtroom were already stunned by the sudden appearance of these people, looking at each other with a sense that something was about to happen.

Seeing the arrogant Master Shangguan in such a sorry state, they all looked at the group of people in the courtyard with even more curiosity.

"How did you find your way here?" Su Chang'an glanced at Bai Gui and then looked at Yu Kuangjuan, who was walking towards her.

Yu Kuangjuan said, "You suddenly disappeared, and Kuyue went to tell that person. When I came back from the old man's place, I couldn't find you either. I found that everyone was looking for you, so after asking around, I finally found this place."

Su Chang'an looked at Ku Yue.

Kuyue sniffled, her eyes brimming with tears, and looked at Su Chang'an: "I thought you ran away from home. If you're going to leave, take me with you, or I'm doomed."

Su Chang'an immediately retorted, "What are you talking about? I have money!"

Yu Kuangjuan glanced at Ke Xia and Yu Jin beside him, then looked at Su Chang'an: "It looks like the sword-breathing method of the Heavenly Pavilion, Lian Wei's junior brother and sister?"

Su Chang'an nodded, then looked at Ke Xia and Yu Jin.

With a veil covering his head, Xia and Yu Jin naturally couldn't see Su Chang'an's expression.

Xia pursed her lips, feeling a little scared. She had just randomly picked a seemingly kind and easily fooled older sister on the street to help her, but what kind of person had she ended up with?
Why.
Even I can't tell how strong these people are. Are they all at least Rank 7?

Ember's expression was one of horror.

哭月
There may be many moons crying in the world, but there is only one that looks like a crazy old woman, like a little girl.

“Shentu. Crying Moon,” Yu Jin looked at Crying Moon and spoke subconsciously.

When Master sees her, he calls her Sister Kuyue.

Even when his grandmaster mentioned it, he looked pained. He had once fought his grandmaster in their Heavenly Pavilion Valley. Although he did not know who won or lost, his grandmaster returned with injuries.

Ku Yue Mei sniffled, then looked at Yu Jin: "What are you doing!"

Although her eyes were still wet with tears, her expression was completely different from when she looked at Su Chang'an.

Li Wanhai was nearby and also heard the words "Shentu Kuyue".

At first glance, Li Wanhai felt that the name sounded quite familiar.

Then he looked at Kuyue, the little girl with snot and tears streaming down her face.

Ok?
Shen Tu cried at the moon!?
That one of the Ten Greatest Women in the World, that one of the most eccentric women in the martial arts world? Now the Deputy Commander of the Phoenix Guard by the Empress's side?
Li Wanhai's mind went blank, and his legs felt weak.

But it was also at this time.
"minister"

Snapped!
Bai Gui had already scrambled to Su Chang'an's side.

But after uttering just one word, he slapped himself hard across the face.

Everyone who witnessed this scene felt a jolt of fear.

"Your humble servant, Bai Gui, pays his respects."

Bai Gui shouted and was about to kneel down.

But the conversation was only halfway through.

Su Chang'an gently raised his hand, stopping Bai Gui.

Su Chang'an said, "Lord Bai didn't kneel just now, so don't kneel now. It doesn't make much sense, does it? Besides, you're handling the case, so just continue. I find it quite interesting."

Bai Gui's body was visibly trembling.

He wanted to kneel down, but at that moment, Yu Kuangjuan came over and pulled him back to his standing position.

Phoenix Guard.
Phoenix Guards!
Bai Gui recognized the Phoenix Guards at first glance, even though they had only just appeared.

Nothing else!

He had seen the Phoenix Guards!

When the World Assembly was held, it was two Phoenix Guards who protected him.

And these women's waist tags are now adorned with a brightly lit phoenix flying over the sky, and even have the character "凤" (phoenix) on them!
Can't recognize him?!
With the Phoenix Guards here, is there any need to wonder who this woman with the veil is?

Thinking about what I had just done
Bai Gui's legs went weak.

"You sinful subject, you sinful subject!" Just as Bai Gui was about to collapse, Yu Kuangjuan grabbed Bai Gui's collar.

Bai Gui's face turned deathly pale: "This sinful subject deserves to die a thousand deaths! I beg Your Majesty for forgiveness! I beg Your Majesty for forgiveness!"

Snapped!
Bai Gui didn't collapse and sit on the ground.

Li Wanhai, whose legs were already weak, collapsed to the ground and passed out.

Ke Xia covered her mouth with both hands and looked at Su Chang'an in disbelief.

The woman I found by the roadside is the Empress!?
Is the legend true?
In the capital, would the Empress really stroll around wearing a veil?!

The people outside the courtroom were all stunned. Her Majesty? Her Majesty the Empress!?

Everyone immediately focused on looking at the girl with the veil on her head, completely forgetting about bowing.

Su Chang'an looked at Bai Gui, who wanted to kneel down but couldn't, and was just being held like this: "You can even fabricate evidence, and you still want forgiveness? If you can't find those words in the letter my sister gave me, do you have to write them yourself?"

Bai Gui's face turned pale, and he hurriedly shook his head, struggling to kneel down.

But he couldn't break free from Yu Kuangjuan's grasp and could only stand there, his clothes being pulled up in his arms, anxiously pleading, "Your Majesty, I was ignorant, I was blinded by greed, I know my crime, I know my crime!"

At this point, Bai Gui raised his hand and began slapping himself hard across the face, one slap after another, each one louder than the last.

I never imagined such a thing would happen.

Bai Gui, in particular, considered himself extremely cautious in his actions, and he proceeded with utmost care in every step he took.

But who would have thought that this young girl would bring the Empress here?

Snapped!
And at this time.
The clerk on the other side immediately knelt on the ground, then moved to Su Chang'an on his knees: "Your Majesty, this humble official...this humble official impeaches Bai Gui...he...he...he..."

The clerk stammered, unable to utter the rest of his words no matter how hard he tried. He slapped himself hard across the face, then pointed at the unconscious Li Wanhai: "The Wanghai Gang, Bai Gui colluded with the Wanghai Gang, using the pretext of the Jianghu People's Association to disrupt things and enter the capital! Like today, they arrested many Jianghu people! In reality, they were eliminating rivals for the Wanghai Gang! And Bai Gui, Bai Gui, used to take money! Money from Shu! I overheard it by chance... that it was Li Guixi, a helper of the Wanghai Gang, who gave it to him. It was related to some trade route, something coming from the Western Regions. They didn't even check it when it passed through Wannian County, and they even switched it before sending it to the capital. It was around the Double Ninth Festival last year."

Upon hearing this, Bai Gui's expression froze, his face drained of all color: "I didn't! I didn't! Stop slandering me! You bastard, you used to follow Yang Meishan! After he fell from grace, you came to follow me. I took pity on you and took you in, you..."

The words stopped abruptly!

Instead of grabbing his clothes, Yu Kuangjuan grabbed Bai Gui's head directly, holding him with one hand, causing Bai Gui excruciating pain.

He glanced at Yu Kuangjuan out of the corner of his eye and saw that Yu Kuangjuan was looking at him coldly, so he immediately dared not speak.

The clerk immediately retorted, "Stop barking like a dog! You beast! You've done all this, and you still want the Wanghai Gang to become the only gang in the capital? I also know that you sent Li Guixi to give money to Qi Pei, the leader of the Zhuodaolang gang! You just wanted her to turn a blind eye. And how many people have you harmed! Like today, how many girls did that Li Wanhai harass, how many people did you arrest? I know it all! I knew this day would come, so I wrote all this down and sent it to the Censorate! Yang Meishan at least knew some things shouldn't be touched, but you touched them all! You're a beast!"

At this point, the advisor kowtowed to Su Chang'an: "Your Majesty, everything I have said is true. If you do not believe me, you can send someone to the Censorate to summon Lady Yan Yuyan."

Su Chang'an turned to look at Bai Gui.

Bai Gui looked at the clerk, and seeing the Empress facing him, immediately shook his head: "I didn't, I've been wronged, I didn't! I haven't received or given any money! Please, Your Majesty, investigate thoroughly, I..."

But when we got to this point...
Outside the courtroom, where the crowd had gathered, a passageway was cleared for them.

Then, people from the Dali Temple appeared, and the one who walked out of the passageway was none other than Zhuo Wen, the Vice Minister of the Dali Temple.

just
When the people from the Dali Temple entered the courtyard, they were taken aback by the scene in the courtroom and Bai Gui's appearance.

Zhuo Wen naturally recognized Yu Kuangjuan, and Shen Tu Kuyue also recognized the Phoenix Guard at a glance. Upon seeing the woman with the veil on her head, they immediately realized what was going on.

He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Your subject Zhuo Wen greets Your Majesty the Empress."

Su Chang'an looked at Zhuo Wen.

Before I could even ask a question.

Zhuo Wen presented the memorial with both hands: "Your Majesty has ordered me to investigate Bai Gui."

Zhuo Wen was actually a little confused.

What are you doing here, Your Majesty!
His Majesty didn't mention that the Empress was here.

And judging from the appearance here, has Bai Gui already been thoroughly investigated by the Empress? Has the Empress taken over the work of our Dali Temple once again?

Zhuo Wen was at a loss for words.

Su Chang'an was taken aback. Xia Qingge sent people from the Dali Temple here to investigate Bai Gui? Did she know I was here, that's why she did this?

Thinking this, Su Chang'an said, "Take this advisor with you and find out more about what happened last year. There's still no result regarding Li Nishang's batch of gypsum. Bai Gui knows what's going on."

Zhuo Wen's expression froze for a moment, then he immediately bowed and clasped his hands in greeting. He then glanced at Bai Gui. Was it really related to that matter? That would be a crime of regicide!
Su Chang'an continued, "Send someone to tell Luo Anxu what happened in the Jingzhao Prefecture, and say that these officials are not good. Also, notify the Ministry of Justice to come over. Bai Gui has committed many false cases. Investigate them all. Release the innocent people, and have the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice arrest the guilty and deal with them according to the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty."

After saying that, Su Chang'an thought for a moment and then said, "There's a Wanghai Gang. Don't let any of them go. Arrest them all. Find Qi Pei and have Zhuodaolang cooperate with you."

Zhuo Wen bowed again: "Yes!"

Su Chang'an glanced at Yu Jin, casually broke the rope around Yu Jin's neck, then frowned as he looked at Zhuo Wen, and then at Yu Kuangjuan.

its not right!
How did Xia Qingge know I was here, and why did she send people from the Dali Temple over?

coincidence?

Is this really a coincidence?

Am I being targeted by my wife this much?

She was silently observing me wherever I went?
Thank goodness I didn't go to the flower market today, or I would have been in big trouble!
……

"Is Su Chang'an in Jingzhao Prefecture?" Xia Fengxiang asked the Huanglong Guard who came to report.

Huanglongwei nodded in response.

Xia Fengxiang's expression was strange: "Why did he go to the Jingzhao Prefecture?"

The Imperial Guard immediately said, "It should be related to Bai Gui. We just received news that Bai Gui has done a lot of things. Her Majesty must know about it, which is why she agreed to let the girl from Tianzhige go to Jingzhao Prefecture."

Xia Fengxiang frowned.

Su Chang'an, he's the kind of person who would solve things I'd find troublesome.

But he remained silent.
Could it be that besides the cat matter, he went out today to do this matter seriously? Did he read the report? Did he go to resolve this in advance so I wouldn't worry?
And they were so willing to spend money to send the crying moon away.
Thinking of this, Xia Fengxiang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Was this person really necessary?
