They all came to the door, and you call this a simulator?

"Bullshit! If this guy was honest and incorruptible and worked hard, Chang'an County would never have become such a place!" Hearing Yan Kang's words, Luo Yaoguang, who was hiding in a teahouse on the street, clenched her fists tightly, and her cold voice carried a hint of chilliness.

The situation in Chang'an County was completely beyond Luo Yaoguang's expectations.

She never thought that a situation like Chang'an County would happen right under her feet.

She didn't even dare to imagine what kind of human tragedy would happen in other places.

If this kind of purgatory-like place really spread throughout the Daqian Dynasty, then it would not take long before the people would be faced with a situation where no one was available even if they did not rise up in rebellion.

After all, if there were no ordinary people, who would these high-ranking officials be able to command? !

Not to mention, these people are the most critical productive forces!

They just sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor!

"Just be patient and continue reading." Xu Wuchen said calmly after hearing the empress's words.

I wasn't too surprised by the current situation.

After all, he had seen too many such situations in history books.

Even in times of peace and prosperity, such scenes are inevitable, not to mention the current precarious Daqian Dynasty.

It would be truly strange if a shaky dynasty were not like this.

It can be said that the more extravagant people in the imperial city are, the more miserable people in other places are.

Those high-ranking officials and nobles in the imperial city were merely taking advantage and reaping the benefits.

But what they enjoy are the blood, sweat and hard-earned money of the people in these places.

"Mr. Justice, please have mercy on us. The harvest is poor this year and there are locusts spreading across the border. We really can't afford to pay the taxes!" The people immediately shouted "Mr. Justice" outside the carriage.

If it weren't for their miserable condition, and the fact that the horses pulling the carriages ate food hundreds or thousands of times better than them, people would have actually thought that the person sitting in the carriage was some kind of upright official who was dedicated to serving the people.

"Yes! And a few days ago, His Majesty went to fight against King Ning, and he asked us to hand over the last of our grain!" Some people also spoke up immediately, with pleading looks on their faces, "We can't even afford to eat. If this continues, we will starve to death, not to mention paying taxes. We can't afford to pay taxes at all!"

Hearing the people's pleas, Yan Kang's face changed instantly, becoming extremely ugly, and he said in a cold voice: "Humph! Can locusts eat up all your fields when they pass through? And how come I have never seen locusts? You must be talking nonsense! Moreover, Her Majesty the Empress is fighting against Prince Ning and asking you to pay taxes is giving you face and giving you the honor of being loyal to Her Majesty. Are you still not satisfied?! And in my opinion, you are a bunch of unruly people who are responsible for farming your own land, and you can't even afford to eat?! This is simply an excuse for you not wanting to pay taxes! You should be proud and proud of being able to contribute to the country, instead of trying not to pay taxes here! You are really shameless and shameless!"

After saying that, Yan Kang stood up and sneered, "Besides, if you really have no money, why don't you rent out your house in the downtown area and collect rent? Wouldn't you have money if you put your cattle and horses to work? You bunch of unruly people don't want your rent, and your cattle and horses don't work, but actually come to kneel in front of my carriage and beg for food. I really give you face!"

As if he had touched on the topic, Yan Kang became even more emotional, and said in a stern voice: "Today, you unruly people dared to block my way and ask for tax exemption. Tomorrow, you will dare to ask me to support you unruly people! Pass the order down, all of these unruly people will be beaten with 30 sticks, and then all of them will be driven away by me. By the way, all of these unruly people's homes will be searched and all their property will be confiscated to serve as a warning to others!"

"Moreover, if they dare to block my way to petition today, they will dare to petition in front of the Golden Throne Hall in the Imperial City tomorrow! How can we encourage such unruly habits of the people!"

Hearing Yan Kang's words.

These disaster victims immediately fled in all directions and disappeared completely in the blink of an eye.

One can't help but be surprised at their speed.

It is even more difficult to imagine how they can possess such high explosive power with such fragile bodies.

Seeing this scene, Yan Kang couldn't help but sneer: "I just can't stand these unruly people, now I feel comfortable! These unruly people ran away faster than rabbits when they heard about the confiscation of their property. Obviously, they are not so poor, otherwise why would they run so fast?! Aren't they afraid that their property will be confiscated?! They even cried poor in front of me, how ridiculous! If they didn't have money, why would they run away?"

"Your Excellency is wise!" Upon hearing Yan Kang's words, the servants present couldn't help but sigh.

have to say.

Yan Kang's words really benefited them a lot.

There is such a method!

Yan Kang sneered a few times, looked at the fleeing victims and said, "Remember all these unruly people and let them know what it means that the monk can escape but the temple cannot!"

"Yes!" After hearing Yan Kang's words, the guards immediately moved!

"How outrageous! The tax revenue of Chang'an County has not been collected for several years since the time of the previous emperor. Moreover, when I ascended the throne, I saw the magistrate of Chang'an County crying that he could not collect taxes, so I specially exempted the tax revenue of Chang'an County for three years. As a result, Yan Kang has never collected less taxes from the people. He even made up excuses for my campaign against Prince Ning and collected taxes from the people?!" After hearing Yan Kang's words and the victims who fled in all directions, a hint of coldness appeared on Luo Yaoguang's fairy-like face.

There was a hint of murderous intent in the look he gave Yan Kang.

Obviously, Luo Yaoguang was extremely dissatisfied with Yan Kang's behavior.

His heart was filled with murderous intent towards Yan Kang.

Luo Yaoguang originally thought that Yan Kang was a good official who spoke up for the people.

Seeing that he was crying and complaining in the memorial, he specially pardoned his crime and reduced the taxes of Chang'an County for three years.

I want to make life better in Chang'an County.

But what was unexpected was that although the people of Chang'an County were indeed suffering, Yan Kang was not a good official.

Moreover, the reason why the people are so miserable is entirely because Yan Kang has swallowed all the benefits into his own stomach.

This made Luo Yaoguang feel like he was being fooled.

"This is just Chang'an County, and this Chang'an County is right under your feet, Your Majesty. If you look at other places, I'm afraid they have already become something else." Xu Wuchen said lightly, "There are many more places that are in even greater trouble than Chang'an County."

"Hateful!" Hearing Xu Wuchen's words, a hint of coldness appeared on Luo Yaoguang's fairy-like face.

Luo Yaoguang stood up from the teahouse, walked to the carriage, and shouted sternly: "Yan Kang, do you admit your guilt!"

"Who is this? How dare you hold me accountable like this?!" Hearing the voice outside, Yan Kang lifted the curtain with some displeasure, looked at Luo Yaoguang who suddenly appeared, and said with a bad expression, "Where did this troublemaker come from? Capture her for me!"

"Where did you come from, little girl? You'd better go back quickly, don't anger the master!" Seeing this, the guard immediately shouted coldly, "Before the master gets completely angry, you'd better leave quickly!"

"Hmph! You guys are so arrogant, how dare you be disrespectful to me?!" Hearing the words of these guards, Luo Yaoguang snorted coldly and said with a bad expression, his phoenix eyes full of coldness.

"I?! How dare this unruly person impersonate Her Majesty the Empress!" Upon hearing Luo Yaoguang's words, Yan Kang's expression changed and he shouted sternly, "Catch him. I will escort him to the Imperial City and let Her Majesty the Empress personally decide his fate!"

"Master Yan, you should open your eyes and take a look at who is in front of you." Hearing Yan Kang's words, Xu Wuchen said calmly, "Of course, if you don't know Her Majesty the Empress, you should be familiar with this Imperial Master, right?"

"If you don't know either of them, then you should know this thing."

After saying this, Xu Wuchen slowly took out a red book and iron certificate from his arms and said with a smile.

"Red Book and Iron Certificate?! It is said that this was given to the current Imperial Master by the late Emperor before his death. Could it be that you are the Imperial Master?!" Seeing the Red Book and Iron Certificate that Xu Wuchen took out, Yan Kang's face instantly turned pale. He said in astonishment, "Could it be that you are really the Empress, the Imperial Master, and the Imperial Master?!"

"Congratulations, you got the answer right. I'll reward you with a meal before execution!" Xu Wuchen looked at Yan Kang and said with a smile, "Master Yan can now go and take care of his funeral!"

"No...Impossible! This can't be true!" Upon hearing Xu Wuchen's words, Yan Kang instantly knelt down on the spot, trembling, repeating the words over and over in his mouth, his whole body shaking like a sieve.

"Please rest assured, fellow people. Her Majesty the Empress will definitely seek justice for you this time. At the same time, she will also ensure that you have food to eat and will be free from worries!" Xu Wuchen glanced at the people around him and said in a loud voice.

"Thank you, Her Majesty! Thank you, Imperial Master!" Upon hearing Xu Wuchen's words, the people immediately cheered.

[After you and the female imperial counselor returned to the imperial city, you imprisoned the Chang'an County Magistrate Yan Kang, confiscated his property and beheaded him, gaining a lot. At the same time, you made the female emperor realize the extent of the corruption of these officials.]

[You started to come forward and first invited all the high-ranking officials and nobles in the Imperial City to participate in your fundraising.]

[As expected, these high-ranking officials and nobles began to cry poor in front of you. Each of them said that they were of high moral character, incorruptible, and without any extra money.]

[If you hadn't already known the darkness of the officialdom, and knew that these high-ranking officials and nobles were all thieves and prostitutes, wantonly plundering the people's wealth, you would have almost believed their words after watching their vivid acting.]
