The First Tyrant of Daxia

The prisoners in the jail didn't know what to say for a moment.

If they told anyone about Blount, their family would be killed, and if they didn't, they would be killed.

In the end they decided to protect their family.

As for what could be said, Tuobu had already said it all, and it would be useless for them to say it now.

"Your Majesty, please let us go!"

"We can use the labor to rebuild the city and make up for our mistakes."

"We can hand over money in exchange for our lives!"

"..."

Qin Yun waved his hand and said, "Forget about your labor. You are all fat and big-eared. Even if you are reformed through labor, it will only be a waste of food."

The prisoners were all blushing. They used to be high-ranking officials, nobles, and wealthy businessmen, but now they were all prisoners on the verge of death. They did not dare to argue with Qin Yun at all.

However, their desire for life made them keep looking at Qin Yun.

Qin Yun pinched his chin and said with a smile, "But money is a good thing. It can be used to exchange for your lives."

After hearing these words, all the prisoners looked at Qin Yun in surprise.

"Your Majesty, I have money, and I am willing to pay for my life!"

"Me too!"

"I'll pay 100,000 gold coins for my life!"

"I'll pay two hundred thousand gold coins for my life!"

"..."

A group of prisoners rushed to express their willingness to use money to buy their lives.

Qin Yun said, "Tohuti, you talk to these guys and ask them to tell you where they hid the money. Warden, you bring out Tuobu."

When these guys learned that Taro Okita was planning to destroy the city, their first reaction was to hide their money.

So if you don't know where they hide the money, it would be difficult to find it.

Most of them have today’s financial resources thanks to the accumulation of several generations of their ancestors, and the wealth of each of them is immeasurable.

The wealth accumulated by so many people is probably enough to equal the annual income of this prosperous city with a population of one million for several years.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Tohuti and the warden nodded at the same time.

But just as the warden was about to act, a blond old man with an aristocratic temperament stopped the warden.

"Wait a moment!"

Qin Yun frowned and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"

The blond old man said, "Your Majesty, we are willing to hand over our wealth, but you should let us go first and return to you after we have taken the money, instead of telling you where we have hidden the money."

The old man's words immediately awakened all the prisoners.

They were all so anxious to survive that their usually careful calculations became a mess. When the old man enlightened them, they immediately understood what he meant.

If they told Qin Yun where they hid the money and he found out and killed them, they would have no place to cry.

The warden at the side whispered, "Your Majesty, this man is the chief of the city's finance department, Jekalen. He holds a high position in the city of Lacarelle. Because he is in charge of the finances, he has a lot of connections and influence."

Qin Yun glanced at him and said, "You are familiar with many people in this city."

The warden smiled awkwardly. Although he was in charge of this prison that never saw the sun, he was also very clear about what was happening on earth.

Qin Yun did not continue to pay attention to him. He turned to look at the blond old man. Compared with the others who were shrinking, this old man seemed much calmer.

Jacalan smiled and said, "This Lacarle City has been occupied by His Majesty Qin Yun. Are they afraid that we will sneak away?"

Qin Yun did not answer, but said calmly: "Kill him!"

These two concise words left everyone stunned.

After a while, the dazed warden came to his senses and quickly called several prison guards to come over and prepare to kill Jakaron.

He is also a very sensible person. Qin Yun is the current boss of Lacarell City. If he doesn't listen to Qin Yun, who else can he listen to?

Jekalun's calm expression suddenly became extremely panicked. He was just pretending to be calm just now. Now Qin Yun gave an order, which frightened him so much that he quickly retreated into the prison.

"Your Majesty Qin Yun! Why are you killing me?!" Jakaron roared.

Looking at the panicked and angry Jekalun, Qin Yun said coldly: "I asked you to tell me where the money was hidden, not to discuss it with you! If you don't want to discuss it with me, I can only send you to death!"

Jacalan shouted, "Am I wrong? If your Majesty changes his mind, won't all our money be wasted?"

Qin Yun narrowed his eyes and sneered, "You can pay money and bet on whether I will regret it."

"Of course, you can choose not to pay. I will not give you another chance and will just kill you."

"Don't think I don't know. You guys were in such a rush of bloody slaughter that you couldn't possibly have time to bury the money far away. It's only near the city of Lacarle."

"It will only take me some time to find it. It doesn't matter whether you tell me or not."

This sentence is extremely destructive to those prisoners who have doubts in their hearts.

After hearing Qin Yun's words, they immediately felt that what Qin Yun said made sense.

Qin Yun was not conducting a transaction with them.

Now Qin Yun has the power of life and death over them. As long as they are unwilling, it will be easy for Qin Yun to kill them.

And Qin Yun's guess was not wrong. In such a panic of fleeing, they had no chance to bury their treasure carefully. It was near the city of Lacarell. As long as they spent some time and manpower, they would definitely be able to find it.

Qin Yun has 300,000 men under his command, so he is not short of manpower at all.

"I am willing to tell you where the money is hidden. I only ask His Majesty Qin Yun to give me a way out!"

One of the wealthy men knelt on the ground first, begging for Qin Yun's favor.

This was like opening the switch of Pandora's box. The rest of the prisoners knelt on the ground and were willing to tell where they had hidden their money.

Jekalun looked at the expressions of the crowd and knew in his heart that Qin Yun's power was unquestionable, at least they were not worthy of it.

"Your Majesty, please leave a way for me to survive."

Jekalen also knelt on the ground, with his noble head lowered.

Qin Yun snorted coldly, "You are a bunch of bastards. You won't listen to me when I talk to you nicely, and you insist on me using force. What a waste of my breath."

When the warden heard Qin Yun's tone, he immediately understood what Qin Yun meant and quickly stopped the jailers.
