Dai Xu, who had originally thought that he was invincible, found out that not only did she fail to bring back the people who had been dismissed from the palace, she even removed quite a number of the officials around her for no reason during her fight with Shi Sheng.
The reason was extremely strange.
She was unhappy with him.
His appearance lowered the attractiveness of the officials.
Speaking with an accent.
Excuses like these and so on.
She had the imperial guards in her hands, so it was not difficult for her to punish a minister in the palace.
As soon as they objected, the one on the dragon throne would say that it was a rebellion!
Wasn't it infuriating?
But Dai Xu did not rebel, which made the traitorous officials very sullen.
This farce continued until a month before the original owner's birthday before it temporarily stopped.
The original owner was the empress of a country, so other countries would naturally send envoys over for her birthday. As the host, they had to properly entertain these envoys. To put it bluntly, they had to keep an eye on these people and not let them cause trouble here.
There were many countries in this world. Feng Luan country was a female country, so it could not be compared to other strong countries that were dominated by men, but it was still much stronger than some small countries.
In addition, Feng Luan country had a state teacher who could predict, so when there was a war, Feng Luan country would not be at a disadvantage.
But right now, the state teacher was still locked in prison waiting to be beheaded. If this news was known by other countries, it might cause trouble, so the officials were very nervous.
There was no problem with internal strife, but they definitely could not betray the country.
The preparations for the ceremony were in full swing. Everyone found that their empress was running around the palace all day, as if she wanted to go to every corner of the palace.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
Lingyi, as the representative, was pushed out to ask the crazy Empress Sheng.
"Looking for someone."
"Your Majesty, who are you looking for, you can order this official to look for them. You ….. will cause panic." Running around the palace all day, do you know how many people are scared?
Shi Sheng's face was melancholic, "Zhen also does not know, we will know when we see."
Lingyi: "… …" What was the crime of offending one's superior again?
"Lingyi ah."
Lingyi quickly put away her thoughts of offending one's superior, "Your Majesty."
Shi Sheng touched his chin, his eyes rolled twice, "Let's go out and kill people."
Lingyi: "???" Didn't you say to look for someone just now? Why did you want to kill people again?
Your Majesty, can you not think of something so random? She could not keep up with this train of thought.
Ling Yi took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, who do you want to kill?"
"During the morning court assembly today, who was the one who accused me of being cruel?" Shi Sheng tilted his head and asked Lingyi.
"Yes, Master Fan."
"Alright, it's him."
Ling Yi: "…" He really wanted to maintain his smile, but it was so difficult.
Your Majesty, is it really okay for you to kill people like this? Even though they were from the party of treacherous officials, there was nothing wrong with killing them …
On second thought, those people who had been killed by His Majesty recently did not seem to be a big deal.
There were so many treacherous officials. If His Majesty did not kill them, they would think of ways to make trouble for His Majesty. Indeed, it was better to kill them.
"Bring the Imperial Guards."
There was no need for Shi Sheng to say anything, Lingyi would have brought her along. Leaving the palace was such a big matter, of course, they had to ensure Her Majesty's safety.
"Bring more," Shi Sheng urged. "Let's go and search their houses."
Lingyi: "…" What happened to killing people? Why did it turn into searching their houses?!!
The news of the Empress bringing the Imperial Guards out of the palace quickly spread to the ears of all the officials. Recently, she had been leaving the palace often, so everyone was used to it.
The treacherous officials did not stop her because it would be good if she died outside, and they would not even have to rebel.
The royalists did not stop her because it would be useless even if they did. Her Majesty did not listen to them at all, and if they were annoyed, she would throw them out.
…
Shi Sheng came with the Imperial Guards in a threatening manner. When Master Fan heard the report, his heart skipped a beat, and he anxiously went to the door to welcome them.
Shi Sheng stood in front of the Imperial Guards. He did not wear a dragon robe, but an ordinary black brocade robe, which made him look even more valiant and formidable. His every movement was domineering.
"Your Majesty …"
"Arrest him." Before Master Fan could finish his words, Shi Sheng interrupted him. The Imperial Guards behind her quickly rushed into Fan Manor and arrested everyone in sight.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?!" Master Fan's face darkened, and his eyes were filled with anger. "What did I do wrong? Why would Your Majesty order the Imperial Guards to arrest everyone in my manor?"
Shi Sheng crossed his arms and smiled. "Master Fan, your mistake was standing on Dai Xu's side."
Master Fan's expression froze.
Ever since she had a falling out with Dai Xu, the Empress did not give any face to the officials who stood on Dai Xu's side. She removed them from their posts and searched their houses.
He did not expect that today it would be his turn.
The imperial guards stepped forward and pinned Sir Fan's hands behind his back, forcing him to lower his head. Shi Sheng took two steps forward and narrowed her eyes as she stared at Sir Fan. "Do you really think your plan to hire assassins to kill me was flawless?"
Master Fan's eyes widened in disbelief. "How … how did you know?"
The assassins had not even come yet. How did she know?
"Why should I tell you?" Shi Sheng snorted. "Take him away."
The Imperial Guards immediately took Master Fan away. After a long time, Master Fan's angry curses could be heard, which somehow turned into cursing Dai Xu.
Shi Sheng expressionlessly looked at the gates of the Fan manor.
"Your Majesty, how did you know Master Fan was going to assassinate you?" He was wondering why the Empress suddenly wanted to search the manor, but where did she get this information from?
"I made it up," Shi Sheng looked away and said calmly.
Lingyi: "…" Are you kidding me? How could you make it up right? Is Master Fan too unlucky, or is Master Fan too unlucky?
[Shameless.] She used the stolen money from the recent seizures to bribe all the famous assassin organizations in the world. Have you ever seen this kind of operation?
You haven't!
The System has never seen it either.
"Isn't this a normal operation? How am I shameless? Buttface, do you dare to say it again? "
[You call this a normal operation? Can a normal person do this?] Hmph, I'll say it. I'm not afraid of you! The System is not afraid!
"Of course you stupid mortals can't do it."
[…] I'm so tired. I need some peace and quiet. Don't ask the System who 'peace and quiet' is.
The System went silent and didn't appear again.
After the seizures of the Fan manor, Shi Sheng's little treasury increased by a lot. The financial power was all in Dai Xu's hands, so she could only take money from Dai Xu's subordinates.
Shi Sheng was in a good mood as he walked back. The Imperial Guards opened a path for him, and the pedestrians all made way.
The common people had never seen the Empress before, but seeing such a big scene and hearing that the Fan manor had just been seized, the common people all thought that she was a high-ranking official. They didn't dare to talk about her, and only dared to talk when Shi Sheng walked past.
Feng Luan was a country where women were respected. The streets were full of big and strong women, and the men were all thin and weak. It was quite a sight to see them next to the women.
"Stop!"
"Catch him …"
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, catch him!"
A shout came from the front. Shi Sheng looked up and saw a young man in red running towards him. There were many men behind him, and the street was in chaos.
He wasn't from Feng Luan.
Seeing that the young man in red was about to reach Shi Sheng, the Imperial Guards immediately stopped him.
The young man was forced to stop. He looked at Shi Sheng and said in a hoarse voice, "Help me …"
