Good luck and fortune come to the end of the world, the boss brings prosperity to the whole village

Song Jixiang and Xiao Ruyi, who were far away in Beijing, were busy sorting out documents.

About a month ago, the two of them hurried back to Shangjing with Emperor Jingchen's decree of succession and a group of people including the Duke of Zhenguo.

They thought they could relax and have a good rest, but who would have thought that before they could even get comfortable, they were impeached by a large group of ministers.

These ministers accused them of bringing with them a forgery of the imperial edict, slandering them for attempting to seize the throne and usurp the throne through this means.

Not only that, even the Duke of Zhenguo who returned with them was not spared and was labeled a "treacherous villain" by those ministers.

The two sent out secret guards to sneak into the ministers' residences quietly and conduct in-depth investigations.

After a period of open and secret investigations, the secret guards finally brought back important information: the ministers who were the most ferocious were actually from Concubine Meng's faction!

The maggots attached to the bones are still alive even after death.

The Meng family has been down for a long time, but these grasshoppers are still jumping around! When they arrived in Shangjing, the first thing they did was to search and confiscate the Meng family and make public the crimes committed by the Meng family.

The commotion was huge and the people applauded. How could the prominent families in the capital not know about it? But no one stood up to speak for the Meng family at that time.

After the two received the information from the secret guards, they looked at each other, and each saw a hint of understanding and confidence in the other's eyes.

You know, among these high-ranking ministers, which family doesn't have some shameful and dirty deeds?

As long as you look carefully, you will find all kinds of evidence of crimes, as numerous as a basket full of rotten fruits.

For example, some ministers secretly and cruelly persecuted innocent servants in their mansions, treated them as grass and trampled on them at will, and even often bullied ordinary people around them, making life miserable for the people; other ministers were so daring that they secretly hid a large number of weapons in their own mansions and secretly stockpiled a group of cold-blooded and ruthless killers. Their purpose was self-evident and chilling; what's worse, they even engaged in massive corruption and bribery at home, colluded with unscrupulous businessmen, disrupted the market order, and caused the economy of Dayu Dynasty to fall into chaos... Such evil deeds are really hard to list!

With such irrefutable evidence, are you still worried that you won't be able to tame those parasites?

Following the order, the well-trained and well-equipped guards rushed into battle like a torrent of steel. They marched in neat and powerful steps, holding weapons that gleamed with cold light, with cold and resolute faces. Each of them exuded a chilling aura, as if all the evil and darkness would be dispelled as soon as they appeared.

In the face of irrefutable evidence, any excuses are in vain.

On this day, the largest South Gate Square in Shangjing City was crowded with people and bustling with activity.

Crowds gathered around and focused their attention on the high platform built in the center of the square.

Today, a highly anticipated public trial will be held here, and the people on trial are the dozen or so high-ranking and powerful ministers.

The midday sun shone on the platform. In this dazzling light, Song Jixiang and Xiao Ruyi sat side by side on the platform. Their expressions were unusually serious.

The official in charge of the execution slowly stepped forward, holding a long document in his hand, which detailed the crimes committed by those officials.

He looked grim and began to read out the evidence in a loud and solemn voice. As he read out the shocking charges word by word, the emotions of the audience became more and more excited. Some people cursed in a low voice, some gnashed their teeth, and some clenched their fists, wishing they could rush to the stage and punish the criminals themselves.

Their gazes were like burning flames, forming an invisible pressure that seemed to crush the platform.

At this moment, someone was the first to lose control of his surging emotions and suddenly shouted, "Kill them, kill them, we must avenge those innocent people who were brutally murdered!"

This roar was like a stone that set off a thousand waves, and it quickly resonated with the people around. In an instant, shouts rose and fell, one wave higher than the other. "Kill them..." Everyone shouted in unison, the sound was deafening, and it reached the sky.

Just when the square was in chaos, a gust of wind was heard, and then hundreds of black shadows were seen flying out from the crowd like wasps.

These people were dressed in uniform black clothes and had black scarves covering their faces, making it difficult to see their true faces. However, from their agile postures and neat movements, it was not difficult to see that they were all extraordinary and well-trained.

They were as light as a swallow, drawing precise arcs in the air and then landing steadily on the ground. In an instant, they formed a tight encirclement, protecting the dozen ministers who were kneeling on the ground for trial.

One of the ministers was helped up by the men in black. He was full of arrogance and laughed loudly. He pointed at Xiao Ruyi and Song Jixiang and cursed, "You little brats, you are just clowns. Do you think you can covet the world of Dayu? These warriors under my command can defeat a hundred people alone."

Having said that, he glanced at the guards who were about to rush over, smiled contemptuously, and then shouted: "Kill, kill these two little thieves, and I will be the emperor myself, haha..."

Before the laughter could even rise, it was stopped in the throat by a sharp arrow. The arrow continued to move forward, pushing the person who was shot out more than ten meters before being weakened by a large tree.

This person was the minister who had been clamoring to become emperor just a second ago.

A long arrow was stuck straight between his eyebrows, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling and making a buzzing sound.

Song Jixiang stood on the high platform with a crossbow in his hand, looking like a lone man blocking the way for ten thousand.

The whole square was suddenly silent, the air seemed to have stopped flowing, and then it started to boil like water in a frying pan!

The men in black lost their backbone and all gathered together, holding sharp blades, back to back, glaring at the woman on the platform, ready to fight to the death.

"Those who do evil will eventually perish!" The voice was not loud, but it could be heard clearly by everyone in the square.

After Song Jixiang finished saying this, he waved his hand, and a flame with the force of thunder rushed towards the group of men in black. However, in an instant, the men in black who were just so aggressive and fighting with the Royal Guards turned into a ball of smoke and dust and fell to the ground.

The wind blows, leaving no trace!

It was quiet, extremely quiet, so quiet that it seemed as if the whole world had stopped at this moment, and the thumping sound of the heartbeat had become the most luxurious existence.

"The time has come, execute him immediately!" Xiao Ruyi broke the silence and gave the order in a cold voice, his voice spreading to every corner of the square.

After a long while, the executioner seemed to come to his senses, followed the order, raised his hand, and shouted: "The time has come, execute him immediately! ..."

The silence was finally broken like a mirror, and everything returned to its original state. It was said that this Lord of the Wilderness was a disciple of a god, and it seemed that the rumor was true.

Just a wave of the hand can take a person's life.

"Crack, crack..." The continuous sounds made people tremble for no reason and their teeth felt sore.

The huge and extremely sharp guillotines were lined up in a row, flashing a terrifying cold light under the refraction of the sunlight, and fell down mercilessly with tremendous force and endless murderous intent.

In an instant, it seemed as if the whole world had stopped, and only the trajectory of the falling guillotine was clearly visible.

In the blink of an eye, heads rolled to the ground like ripe watermelons. Blood gushed out from the necks like red fountains, splashing everywhere, instantly dyeing the dry land underfoot into a shocking scarlet color. The air was filled with a strong and pungent smell of blood, which made people nauseous.

The people standing in the front row were all dressed in gorgeous clothes, and were originally arrogant and proud. But now they all retreated backwards like frightened rabbits, and everyone involuntarily tightened their necks and trembled with fear.

These people were the ministers who had various excuses not to attend court every day. They were the adults who usually lived a life of luxury and were awe-inspiring, but now their faces were filled with fear and anxiety.

They were forcibly "invited" out of their respective mansions today by the ferocious guards, who said they were allowed to watch the ceremony, and they were arranged to sit in the front row of the entire venue!

The scene just now was vivid and bloody, and the splattered blood had not yet completely solidified. How could it not make them tremble with fear and tremble with fear...

At this moment, a cold snort came from the platform.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xiao Ruyi looking at them coldly. His smile was eerie and terrifying, as if it came from the depths of hell, making people shudder, and the blood-stained guillotine seemed to fall on their necks in the next moment.

"Don't be afraid, my lords. This is a good seat I specially reserved for you! Allowing you to watch this good show from such a close distance is also my 'special care' for you!" There was no trace of joking in Xiao Ruyi's tone.

Aren't all these ministers claiming to be sick and not coming to court? Today's killing of the chicken to scare the monkey is the best medicine to cure them!

He did not take the throne, which symbolized supreme power and glory, seriously. However, things are unpredictable, and fate, like an invisible hand, pushed him and Song Jixiang to this point.

Standing higher, you can do more things, which is not a bad thing.

Before coming to the capital, he had asked Song Jixiang: "Are you willing to stand shoulder to shoulder with me and jointly govern this vast world?" His words were full of sincere emotions and visions for the future. The two of them came from the end of the world and have been together for so long that they have long been inseparable.

When he mustered up the courage to ask that question, his heart was like a kite hanging in the air, swaying and uneasy. His eyes were fixed on the face of the person in front of him, afraid to miss the slightest change in expression.

He pondered secretly, if the girl shook her head and refused, how would he face the loss; if she readily agreed, then how tortuous would the road ahead be... All these thoughts intertwined together, making his heart feel like a pot of mixed feelings, up and down, and unable to find peace.

Song Jixiang gave him a sly smile and put his hand in his palm, "Why not!" Life is full of unknowns and no one can predict the future. Living well in the present will be a life without regrets!

The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone on the earth, the court in the palace presented a completely different scene from the previous few days. The court, which was originally empty and deserted and filled with a decadent atmosphere, was now crowded with people, almost full of ministers who came to discuss politics.

Officials who used to use various excuses to avoid attending court, all showed up today. Some came in a hurry, looking a little nervous; some pretended to be calm, but could not hide a trace of anxiety in their eyes.

Song Jixiang and Xiao Ruyi sat upright on the dragon throne, quietly watching everything below, with a hint of a smile on their lips.

The Minister of Rites stepped out, bowed to the leader, then stood on the stone steps and read out the edict of succession from Emperor Jingchen.

"The Emperor, in accordance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: I have been entrusted with the Mandate of Heaven for several decades, and have worked day and night with concern for state affairs. Now I am getting older, and my energy is running out. The sacred artifact is too important to be neglected for long. The eleventh son of the Emperor is kind, filial, intelligent, and virtuous, and he is worthy of inheriting the throne. I hereby order the successor to the throne to ascend the throne, and you, the civil and military officials, should assist him with all your heart, to protect the country and the people, and to bring peace to the country.

Announce it to the world, and the envoys will hear about it.

Admire this! "

As for the "big Buddha" sitting at the top, everyone dared not show any negligence. They lifted up the front of their robes, knelt on their knees, kowtowed respectfully, and shouted loudly: Long live the Buddha...
