Upon hearing this, the judge of the criminal justice office, the county magistrate, and the prefect all felt a jolt in their hearts.

They knew it was truly the end for them. The people knew best what officials in this area had done.

In this place, many people have suffered considerable injustices, and these injustices cannot be redressed, partly because these injustices were brought upon them by these officials.

Some were wronged because the other party bribed these officials.

Once Zhu Yunwen's order is issued, the people who are connected with these injustices and who hate these officials with all their might will surely swarm forward and tell the whole story in detail.

Then all these unfair, unjust, and even extremely bullying behaviors will be exposed.

In that case, Zhu Yunwen will not be so lenient.

But faced with Zhu Yunwen's orders, they dared not utter a single word of objection.

After all, saying another word might be seen as a sign of guilt, which would only make things worse and seem like a case of trying to cover something up.

So even though they were very nervous, and even though they didn't want this to happen, there was nothing they could do to stop it, and they could only let things develop as they were.

Soon, thanks to the notices from the constables and soldiers, many people learned that Zhu Yunwen, the grandson of the Ming Dynasty, had arrived in Tianyuan County and was going to deal with the local officials. People who had problems with these officials were asked to come forward and tell their stories.

Such a golden opportunity was incredibly exciting for the people.

They knew their opportunity had come, and so countless people flocked to the Tianyuan County government's criminal justice office.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the area outside the Court of Judicial Review was already packed with people, while inside, countless officers and soldiers stood on both sides.

Zhu Yunwen sat in the upper seat, Zhao Qingzhu sat below him, and the prefect, the vice-prefect, and other officials from the prefectural government, such as the judge, all stood to one side.

On the other side stood several county magistrates and some officials from the county government.

Including Magistrate Zhao, who was swaying precariously at that moment, because he knew he was doomed today.

At this moment, a line had already formed outside the court of law enforcement. Anyone who had a conflict or grievance with these officials had lined up.

First, some clerks registered, and then they lined up and entered the court of criminal punishment one by one.

Zhu Yunwen sat on it, exuding an air of dominance. He had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, a face as sharp as a knife, and a gloomy expression that conveyed his authority without revealing his presence.

Then he slammed the gavel and said:

Those who have been wronged should come to court.

A commoner quickly stepped forward and said:

"Your Highness, this humble subject kowtows to Your Highness, the Crown Prince..."

Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and said:

"No need for formalities, it would be a waste of time. Commoners who come in can skip kneeling and just tell us their grievances."

The commoner immediately stood up and said:

"Your Highness, my grievances have been unjust for many years. Three years ago, my daughter was of marriageable age and was on her way to get married in a bright red sedan chair when she encountered the magistrate's son on the way."

He insisted on opening the sedan chair to see the bride's face, and no one dared to stop him, so they had no choice but to let him see. Who knew that after seeing her, he would carry the sedan chair to his mansion and harm my daughter.

He then forced my daughter to become his concubine in his household, and he constantly beat and verbally abused her; it was an inhuman life.”

Zhu Yunwen immediately looked at Magistrate Zhao of Tianyuan County, who trembled in fright.

He hurriedly said to the man:

"Father-in-law, what you've done... my son likes your daughter, so what he did was indeed excessive, but he didn't actually hit her. But don't worry, we need to resolve this matter."

I didn't know before, but now I do. I will definitely go back and teach that beast of a man a lesson, and make him treat your daughter well from now on, and forbid him from marrying another woman.

The old man shook his head and said:

"Don't try to fool me with sweet words. Every time my daughter comes home to see me, she has all sorts of bruises on her body. All I want now is for her to come back to my home and for you two beasts to pay the price."

The magistrate looked grim and didn't know what to do.

Zhu Yunwen snorted and said to a clerk beside him:

"Write it down!"

The clerk quickly made a note of it, and Zhu Yunwen then said:

"Old man, you can go down first. These matters should be discussed in the main hall and recorded one by one. I will resolve them all at once."

The old man immediately said:

"With His Highness the Crown Prince's words, I naturally believe it. How wonderful! The dark clouds over Tianyuan County have finally been cleared, allowing people to see the blue sky."
