The First Tyrant of Daxia

"Humph!"

"You bunch of bastards, weren't you so confident just now?"

"What? You don't dare to guarantee it now?" Qin Yun shouted angrily.

The ministers trembled and were shocked.

But some people still gritted their teeth and said, "But...but Your Majesty, it is wrong for you to do this!"

Outside the Tai Chi Hall, a domineering roar suddenly sounded.

"Who said your majesty did something wrong?!"

"Stand up, and Ben will smash his head in!"

Kou Tianxiong strode in with a file in his right hand, his rough face showing a cold and murderous look.

He glared at these fence-sitters.

"Humph, you bastards, it is you humble officials who have misled His Majesty!"

"I suspect that this is all a conspiracy by you, the poor family!"

"The consequences of this matter are immense, and you and the cabinet must bear the responsibility!"

A second-rank official shouted angrily, and his eyes and tone did not hide his targeting of the poor in the slightest.

Kou Tianxiong sneered and did not answer.

Instead, he knelt down to Qin Yun.

It was as loud as thunder and echoed throughout the Tai Chi Hall.

"Your Majesty, I have fulfilled my mission!"

"I have personally beheaded Li Chengzhang and arrested important members of the Li family!"

"The investigation found that the Li family was suspected of monopolizing grain, buying and selling official positions, hiring killers to kill people, hiding suspects, and taking human lives lightly..."

"A total of seventy-two crimes, all punishable by death!"

Elder Feng also stood up, holding up the file: "This old slave has beheaded 28 high-ranking members of the Tang family."

"The investigation found that..."

"..."

Looking at the two piles of files filled with densely written words, the faces of the kneeling ministers suddenly changed.

Unconvinced, he asked, “Do you have any evidence?”

"Of course!" Kou Tianxiong snorted.

"Bring some people up!"

Soon, seven people were escorted to the Taiji Hall.

They were chained with iron chains, and one of them was Li Chengqing.

"boom!"

Li Chengqing knelt down, his face pale and distraught.

He witnessed with his own eyes the scene where the ancestral land of the Li family was violently destroyed by Qin Yun's men, and his heart was broken!

He gritted his teeth and shouted, "I am Li Chengzhang's adopted son, I want to report it!"

"Report him for corruption, bribery, disrespect for imperial power, and buying and selling official positions..."

"Here are the evidences, including files and account books..."

When a series of charges were announced, all the ministers were shocked!

The officials kneeling on the ground all looked grim, unable to believe that Qin Yun had just exposed the secrets of a large family.

The remaining six locked-up witnesses, who were also important figures from the Li and Tang families, immediately followed suit and started yelling.

"I want to report...!"

"I have something to say. The Tang family is guilty of unforgivable crimes...!"

"..."

After the seven people finished speaking, the entire Tai Chi Hall fell into deathly silence, and you could hear a pin drop!

The officials who were kneeling on the ground begging for mercy had red faces, not knowing whether to get up or continue kneeling, and were in a dilemma.

Qin Yun stood up with a smile, and asked with his hands behind his back: "My dear ministers, with so many charges, do you still think that I am killing innocent people?"

Many officials shuddered, looking at the mountains of physical evidence and witnesses with ugly expressions on their faces.

Things happened so fast that they had no time to react before His Majesty took away both the hard evidence and the heads.

Really, horrible!

Suddenly, Qin Yun's eyes turned fierce.

He yelled, "I'm asking you a question!!"

"Am I killing innocent people indiscriminately?!"

Everyone shuddered collectively, put their foreheads to the ground, trembled, and dared not speak.

"Humph!"

Qin Yun snorted coldly, not taking these clowns seriously at all.

"Let all those whose names are on this indictment report to the Zongzheng Temple one by one, and Tang Ling will personally interrogate them!"

"I want a reasonable explanation!!"

The ministers' faces turned pale, and they had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.

Qin Yun ignored their begging looks and continued, "The six ministries will work together to sort out all the evidence and make it known to the world."

"All those involved will be beheaded. There will be no room for compromise!"

"All the spoils will be deposited into the national treasury!"

After saying this, he rode away from the court with his sword in hand.

Because the real trouble is not in the court.

The ministers were terrified and did not dare to offend him again. They knelt down and shouted, "Farewell, Your Majesty!"

Walk out of the Tai Chi Hall.

Qin Yun walked quickly towards the imperial study.

The trusted subordinates behind him reported one after another.

"Your Majesty, Xiliang Wang Min has spread the news that you are cruel and merciless and have killed loyal officials. If any official from Daxia wants to leave, they can go to Daliang and be promoted to the third rank directly."

Hearing this, Qin Yun sneered: "What a big deal! The official rank is higher than that of the third rank!"

"Whenever something happens in the Central Plains, this crazy woman will come to get involved. Wait until I have time to deal with you, Xiliang!"

"You damn empress, I'll make you kneel and beg for mercy!"

Elder Feng stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to prevent officials from various states from fleeing?"

Qin Yun said: "No, those officials can go if they want. I don't need such rubbish."

"By the way, have the students and old friends of the Li and Tang clans taken any action?"

Kou Tianxiong said seriously: "Yes!"

"The governor of Heyang, the general of Qidu... they are all from the Li and Tang families. It seems that they have been in contact and may rebel!"

"..."

Sirius City, the garden of the Empress Palace.

Wang Min was wearing a golden palace dress, which was extremely luxurious. She was taking a walk, swaying gracefully.

The white jade fingers gently stroked the flower, and the flower shrank as if it was ashamed.

Her pretty face is more beautiful than flowers!

Following behind him was Zhang Ren, who was tall and straight, with a strong aura of a Confucian general.

"Diva, that's about it."

"The emperor executed the man with lightning speed, reporting to the world later. None of the clans had time to react, let alone rescue him."

Wang Min curled her red lips, charming everyone.

Without looking back, she said with interest, "This seems to be his style."

Zhang Ren raised his eyebrows: "Does the Queen know the Emperor of Daxia very well?"

Wang Min looked back at him and said, "He was once a lonely man, and we have been enemies for so long. What do you think?"

Zhang Ren was silent.

Wang Min put her hands behind her back, her peach blossom eyes twinkling, and said quietly: "Two of the nine clans have been eliminated, and the remaining seven should be completely furious."

"I have to thank them. Without them dying, Daliang wouldn't have had so many opportunities to breathe."

Zhang Ren frowned: "In my opinion, the Emperor of Daxia may not be able to win, right?"

"How can the power of the aristocratic families be easily shaken?"

"The emperor will have to pay the price just because the leaders of the Li and Tang families died."

Wang Min shook his head: "You are wrong. Qin Yun's attainment of the Tao is destiny."

"The aristocratic families have their own drawbacks. They can't defeat Qin Yun, unless..."

"Unless what?" Zhang Ren was curious.

"Unless King Shunxun gets involved, Qin Yun will have a headache." Wang Min said with a smile, seeming to be particularly amused.

Zhang Ren said in a deep voice: "Prince Shunxun is indeed a great man, but it was he who gave the emperor the route map of the ancient plank road during the last grassland war!"

Wang Min stretched lazily, outlining her figure beautifully.

She spoke in a cold and sexy way: "The imperial family has always been ruthless. How could there be so many deep feelings? Don't forget that King Shunxun is backed by a powerful family."

"It would be best if the two brothers killed each other."

"Fight, fight, it's better to fight till the whole place is gone."

"At the last moment, I will make the final move."

At this moment, a guard suddenly came to report.

"Report!"

"My Queen, someone from the Guanlong Wang family came and said they want to see you!"
