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

Yun Wanyi felt her head buzzing.

Only one thought remained in my mind.

"How dare you?"

"How dare they slander the Duke like this in his own city of Huai'an?"

However, she quickly realized that her thoughts were almost exactly the same as Xu Xia's: the matter was very likely to involve them.

All their previous efforts could be destroyed in an instant.

Looking up, he met Xu Xia's gaze, who had recovered slightly, and the two of them had the same thought.

This matter must be handled properly!

Otherwise, even if the Duke is magnanimous and doesn't blame them, his many arrogant and fierce soldiers will definitely not let it go easily.

However, Xu Xia and Yun Wanyi were suddenly stunned before they could come up with a plan.

because……

The two of them only realized it later...

Before me are thousands of letters of complaint!

Thousands of letters!

Damn it... could they all be reporting on the Duke?

That would be truly disastrous.

It's gotten to the point where we can't contain it anymore!

Startled, the two quickly split up and went together to open the thousands of letters in front of them.

Compared to the first letter that was opened, the subsequent letters were read extremely quickly; one could read ten lines at a glance, or even a hundred lines at a glance.

A moment later, the two of them barely opened and glanced at the letter of complaint before tossing it aside.

After opening nearly a hundred letters, the two finally confirmed their suspicions.

"These letters are exactly the same, except for the difference in gender—whether the complainant refers to themselves as 'young lady' or 'young man'—they are identical!"

"Yes, the same goes for me!" Yun Wanyi nodded and said, "So, it is clear that this was a meticulously planned, organized, and large-scale whistleblowing operation."

At this point, Yun Wanyi breathed a slight sigh of relief, and Xu Xia next to her also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as it's large-scale and well-organized, that's good.

That means someone is deliberately causing trouble, there is a ringleader, there is an organization, and they can target and crack down on such activities!

What I fear most is that these people all come from Huai'an City, but they are different people with the same attitude. That would be troublesome, indicating that Huai'an City is already in complete chaos.

They can't escape it; at the very least, they'll be blamed!

"Moreover, the number of people should not be in the thousands..." Xu Xia, however, was very observant and had already noticed something. He said, "Among the many letters I opened, there are many with very similar handwriting."

"Even though it's obvious they've deliberately adjusted their handwriting, it can't escape my eyes. I'm absolutely certain that many of the letters came from the same person."

"In fact, many people probably use their left hand specifically, or a hand they don't usually use, to write, resulting in crooked and messy handwriting."

Yun Wanyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. It's good that there aren't that many people. However, right now, Huai'an City needs to show its attitude immediately."

Xu Xia's gaze suddenly turned serious, and he said, "I will immediately order an investigation to find the source!"

"Hmph, none of these troublemakers will escape."

"The ringleader dared to spread rumors and slander the Duke. I will cut off his head and hang it at the city gate for all to see."

Xu Xia's face was fierce, but Yun Wanyi didn't find anything wrong with it. Instead, she nodded and said, "Husband, I'll do whatever you say!"

……

Next to the City Lord's Mansion, an unused four-courtyard house was temporarily requisitioned by the Demon Suppression Division, where Su Jin worked.

Right now, she is passing on her experience to Lu Shuang, who is extremely talented and well-suited for working in the Demon Suppression Division.

Aba aba...

She recounted in great detail the numerous bewitching demons and monsters she encountered at the Demon Suppression Division, and advised on how to deal with them.

They were grooming Lu Shuang as their successor.

Lu Shuang has an excellent foundation.

The key is to be extremely calm and rational, so that in the chaotic world of love, one can clearly distinguish between what is a seductive demon and what is normal love.

After being indoctrinated by Su Jin, I benefited a lot.

An hour later, Su Jin stopped teaching and said with a smile, "Alright, I've told you almost everything I needed to."

"Go back and think about it carefully, and absorb it properly."

Lu Shuang stood up: "Yes, Lord of the Demon Suppression Division."

Su Jin took Lu Shuang's hand and made her sit down, saying, "General Zhang Shi, we will be setting off for Yuancheng tomorrow."

"The fact that the Lord of Yuancheng dared to harbor a criminal wanted by the imperial court and refused to open the gates, forcing General Zhang Shi to return and plead for an imperial decree, must mean there's something wrong with him."

"Yuancheng is right next to Yunjing, so there might be bigger problems. It's probably some kind of bewitching demon."

"This time, you will accompany General Zhang Shi. You must pay close attention and observe carefully, and be a good right-hand man to General Zhang Shi. When General Zhang Shi is ennobled and appointed as a general in the future, your achievements will not be lacking either."

Lu Shuang was well aware of these things, and now that Su Jin had specifically reminded her, she immediately expressed her gratitude.

After talking with Su Jin for a while, he noticed that Su Jin looked a bit tired and knew that she was working hard with Lord Pei Jingzhi to improve the laws of the Demon Suppression Division, which was not easy, so he did not dare to disturb her any further.

He got up, took his leave, and departed.

Just as he was about to leave, a Demon Suppression Guard rushed in and reported, "Lord Demon Suppression Envoy, our temporary office in Huai'an City has suddenly received a large number of letters."

Su Jin rubbed her temples and asked, "A lot of letters? Have they all been opened?"

Su Jin spoke with a hint of weariness, after all, she had been working with Xu Xia to investigate the cases of Xu Qin and Zhou Zhi, and had also opened the external reporting channel for the Demon Suppression Division.

In the past two days, Xu Xia and Yun Wanyi have received countless reports and confirmed numerous crimes. Her workload must be considerable.

Besides, she had other things to take care of.

"Part of it has been disassembled..."

The Demon Suppressor said, "It's just... very strange..."

"Those letters weren't accusing Xu Qin and Zhou Zhi, but...letters to the Duke!"

Su Jin's spirits lifted instantly, and she said, "Give it to me!"

"yes!"

In a short while, the Demon Suppression Guards brought over all the thousands of letters.

The Demon Suppression Guards were far stronger than the clerks of the Xu Xia City Lord's Mansion. The Demon Suppression Guards quickly and neatly piled up the letters.

Moreover, they thoughtfully opened each letter individually, saving Su Jin the trouble of opening the letter herself.

Seeing the immense amount of work, Lu Shuang didn't leave. She watched from the side, and when Su Jin gestured, she immediately joined in and began to examine everything.

Surprisingly...

They're all reprimands!

The content rebuking the Duke!

"Lord Duke, you are a human being too. Don't you understand love? You killed Lord Zhou Zhi and Xu Qin, and now you want to burn down our Hongluan Wenyuan Pavilion. How is what you're doing any different from the Queen Mother of the West who separated the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl?"

"My lord, you simply don't understand. The domineering empress and the peerless prince depicted in the book saved countless ordinary boys like me, gave us spiritual comfort, and gave us the courage to face the world. By what right do you take that away?"

"Lord Duke, is your talk of 'destroying the old and establishing the new' simply a cold, loveless world? Do you want us all to live in such a world from now on?"

"Lord Duke, you command a large army and wield immense power. We are merely a group of brothers and sisters pursuing love. Instead of suppressing bandits and bringing peace to the people, you come to burn our books. Is this truly destroying the old and establishing the new? Or... is it bullying the weak and fearing the strong?"

"My lord, my mother has been bedridden for three years. Her only source of comfort was listening to me tell stories of those domineering princes. She smiled and said that she wanted to have a love affair like that in her next life. My lord, are you even going to take away her dying smile?"

"Lord Duke, do you know that the books you are about to burn have taught us kindness, courage, and patience? But once you light the torch in your hand, we will live in a world where even fantasizing about love is a sin?"

"Lord Duke, you burned not only books, but also humanity and warmth!"
