The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

As dawn broke, the thick fog had not yet dissipated.

More than 500 people gathered in front of the general's mansion in the cold wind, all filled with righteous indignation.

Zhan Shubai cherished Yunji City as his life and constantly trained his soldiers with high intensity. Although they held a high position and did not have to worry about strengthening defenses, training was still essential.

It can be said that everyone here is a highly skilled and capable individual!

This gathering of over five hundred people created a powerful momentum.

A powerful aura that only soldiers could muster.

This also emboldened everyone.

One by one, they stood at the entrance of the General's Mansion in Yunji City, shouting.

"Please, Your Excellency, give us justice."

"Your Excellency, we have all devoted ourselves to the cause of Yunji City, which is why it is now a fortified city with high walls and impregnable defenses. Yet you have stripped us of our positions. Please, Your Excellency, give us an explanation."

"General Zhan has only been gone a few days, and you, Imperial Envoy, are already behaving like this? Where do you place General Zhan?"

……

The gate to the general's mansion creaked open, and Vice General Wang Ming strode out. He first glanced at everyone, and after confirming that no one was carrying weapons, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He then said loudly, "Gentlemen, causing trouble in public is not a good habit. If you have any opinions, you can take it to court or come to me privately. Doing so is not good for you."

"I advise you all to disperse."

"General Ren has his reasons for making this arrangement, you..."

After a pause, Wang Ming's tone became more warning: "Don't ruin your future!"

Wang Ming's attempts to persuade them only made them more enthusiastic.

The shouts were already deafening, as if they wanted everyone in Yunji City to hear their resentment and cries, and now it was as if they wanted to turn the sky upside down.

"We were just seeking justice for ourselves, how did that become a disturbance? Hmph, Lord Ren, do you really enjoy labeling us like this?"

"We've toiled for Cloud Ridge City for so many years, and with a single sentence from the new lord, we've fallen from grace! Where is this justice? Today, we must be given an explanation!"

"Excellent, our treatment must be restored to what it was before!"

"Simply restoring things to their former state is not enough! We must be treated better, and the newly arrived imperial envoy must apologize to us!"

"Yes, apologize! Apologize not only to us, but also to General Zhan!"

……

Amidst the shouts, Wang Hu, standing in the crowd, shouted back as he tried to push his way forward.

Although he was the most active initiator of this incident and had served as a member of the inspection team under Zhan Shubai, he was still humble compared to the middle and senior managers under Zhan Shubai.

As a result, in this huge line of more than 500 people, he couldn't get a good position at all and could only wander around in the middle.

This made Wang Hu extremely unhappy!

He had to be at the forefront to get the chance to demand better treatment.

So, taking advantage of the chaos and the lack of order, he squeezed into the front row, immediately raised his fist, and shouted loudly.

"If the Imperial Envoy doesn't apologize to General Zhan, doesn't apologize to us, and doesn't improve our treatment, we're quitting!"

"When that time comes, Yunji City will be turned upside down. Your Excellency, you'd better not regret it!"

Wang Hu's words resonated with many people, and they immediately echoed his sentiments.

"Ren Tianye, come out and apologize!"

"Ren Tianye apologizes to us!"

"Ren Tianye apologizes to General Zhan!"

……

The voices rose in waves.

This caused Wang Ming, who was standing at the entrance of the General's Mansion, to instantly feel a surge of anger in his eyes.

These people are so incredibly audacious!

How dare you address the general by his given name!

That's enough...

He thought wearily, "It's hard to reason with a damned person; I can't save these people today."

He said no more, but stood at the entrance of the general's mansion with his knife, not allowing anyone to enter.

This seemingly weak stance only fueled the frenzied shouting of the five hundred people, especially Wang Hu, who, having rushed to the front row, was beginning to show signs of taking the lead.

Until, light footsteps were heard inside the general's mansion.

A person slowly walked out.

It was Ren Tianye.

At this moment, Ren Tianye was not wearing armor, only a plain robe. After walking to the entrance of the general's mansion, his gaze slowly swept over the crowd.

Although his movements were light and his posture seemingly casual, his status as an imperial envoy still caused the five hundred people in front of him to quickly fall silent.

Unfortunately, just a few breaths after the voice faded, someone shouted.

"If Your Excellency does not wish for Yunji City to be turned upside down, you should apologize to us and General Zhan. Also, Your Excellency should bring up our treatment."

"Otherwise, we're not sure what we might do!"

It was Wang Hu who said this.

He walked past his former superior and shouted loudly. At this moment, he felt no longer like a member of the inspection team, but rather like half a leader of Yunji City.

Ren Tianye's gaze fell on him.

He chuckled lightly and said, "Well said. I'll remember you."

Turning to his deputy, Wang Ming, he asked, "What crime should be punished for inciting a crowd to cause trouble, committing insubordination, and threatening superiors?"

Wang Ming immediately said, "According to the laws of the Great Yu Dynasty, the ringleader... shall be executed immediately!"

"Those who follow him shall be sentenced to death by strangulation, pending further investigation!"

Ren Tianye nodded.

This means that the ringleader of the disturbance was executed immediately, while the followers were to be slaughtered later.

He gently raised his hand and said, "In that case, let's carry it out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than twenty personal guards suddenly sprang out from his body, each wielding a crossbow.

At the same moment, hundreds of armored soldiers, each armed with a crossbow, quickly surrounded the general's mansion.

All of them were among the first 800 soldiers who followed Ren Tianye.

This change happened suddenly.

This silenced the five hundred people instantly!

A look of terror quickly appeared on everyone's face.

Are they going to kill them?

Wang Hu, at the very front of the 500-man column, shouted, "Hmph, who are you trying to scare?"

His shout emboldened everyone once again.

They number five hundred and have lived in Yunji City for generations. If they are scattered, they are insignificant, but if they gather together, their power is earth-shattering. Who would dare to kill them?

Even Zhan Shubai wouldn't have the guts.

This newcomer is just an imperial envoy, not their actual superior. What gives him the audacity to act like this?!

Trying to scare them?

As a result, many people will shout together.

But the next moment, arrows rained down!

The first three rows of the five hundred-person team screamed in agony and collapsed one by one!

At this moment, the group of more than 500 people fell completely silent!

There was no more shouting!
