The First Tyrant of Daxia

Qin Yun sneered: "You mean to let me release Concubine Wang who is trying to rebel and assassinate His Majesty?"

"Your Majesty, Concubine Wang was wrongly accused, and this case needs to be retried!"

"That's right, Your Majesty, please understand."

"..."

When Qin Yun was about to curse, there was a burst of commotion outside the palace.

Thousands of people, including farmers, merchants, dock workers, etc., seemed to have received the news and gathered at the palace gate and knelt down.

The voice was extremely loud: "Your Majesty, please release Concubine Wang and ask Lord Wang to return to preside over the Ministry of Revenue!"

"Otherwise, I will kneel here forever!"

Even the slogans were the same. After hearing them, Qin Yun was furious!

This is definitely not caused by any tax issues. It must be Wang Wei who is behind it.

Chang Hong hurried over and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, what should we do? More and more people are gathering outside the palace."

"If we expel them, there might be a mutiny..."

Qin Yun frowned, he was really defeated this time.

At this time, the Grand Historian Wang Yang seized the opportunity and shouted: "Your Majesty, please show mercy, follow the will of the people, and give the people a way to live!"

"Please give the people a way to live!" Hundreds of officials shouted, with each wave louder than the last.

Suddenly, Qin Yun's eyes showed murderous intent. This bastard Wang Yang was really going too far!

This is moral kidnapping. Not releasing the people means not giving the people a way to live. It's such a big hat that even the emperor wouldn't dare to wear it!

"Your Majesty, I have a plan that can alleviate the urgent problem." Old Feng suddenly said.

Qin Yun said: "Mr. Feng, please speak."

Old Feng leaned close to Qin Yun's ear and whispered a few words.

His eyes gradually brightened and he smiled: "Okay! Let's do as you say. Elder Feng, go and do it yourself. Bring more people with you and capture them all for me."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Old Feng bowed and left quickly.

Seeing the two whispering, Wang Yang and others looked puzzled.

At this time, Qin Yun stepped forward and said, "Okay, I promise you that I will re-examine the case of Concubine Wang. In addition, when Lord Wang's condition stabilizes, I will personally send someone to bring him to court and preside over the overall affairs of the Ministry of Revenue."

All the officials looked at each other in bewilderment. Why did His Majesty suddenly agree? This change was too fast.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the people's will cannot wait even a day." Grand Historian Wang Yang pleaded loudly.

He and Wang Wei are relatives and wear the same underwear. Now he wants to force Qin Yun to release Wang Min immediately.

"You, do you want to die?" Qin Yun uttered these words lightly, and a hint of indifference flashed across his eyes.

Wang Yang felt a chill on his neck and quickly lowered his head in panic.

"I have already backed down. If you continue to push your luck and show no respect for the ruler and his subjects, then I will have no choice but to punish you according to the law!" Qin Yun said coldly.

Several of Wang Wei's trusted ministers looked at each other, exchanged opinions, and decided to quit while they were ahead.

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

"In that case, I'll take my leave!"

Qin Yun snorted coldly, turned around and went back to the imperial study.

At Xuanwu Gate, many ministers tactfully left slowly.

The common people who had gathered outside the palace also dispersed without causing any trouble. They advanced and retreated in unison, and it was obvious that there was a master directing them from behind.

Otherwise, if they really came here for the tax issue, they would not leave so easily.

In the afternoon, Qin Yun issued forty-seven decrees in a row.

They each went to various states and counties, and at the same time a lot of funds were allocated. These were the salaries that should be paid to the people in the Academy who had conducted research.

What he needs to do now is to stabilize the situation and buy time for Guo Ziyun to investigate Wang Wei.

As night fell, Mr. Feng returned.

He came and went like a shadow, but the hunchbacked old man possessed great abilities.

"Your Majesty, the man has been captured secretly!"

"The landlords and gentry from the east suburbs, west suburbs, and outside the city all participated. The people who came to the outside of the palace to petition today were basically instigated by them."

Qin Yun put down the memorial, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he said calmly: "Bring them all in."

Old Feng clapped his hands, and a large number of imperial guards came in, escorting six gentry in brocade robes.

They were tied up and had black cloth on their heads.

"Who are you? How dare you kidnap us? Aren't you afraid of being caught?"

"You want money, right? I'll give it to you. Just don't hurt my life!"

"If you harm my life, I promise that the Ministry of Justice will track you down immediately!"

Hearing this, Qin Yun smiled coldly and waved his hand.

The imperial guards tore off the black cloth on the heads of the six people!

Six fat and big-eared gentry opened their eyes, and what came into view was the extremely magnificent imperial study.

Sitting on the high hall was a young man with strong features, wearing a dragon robe, and he looked majestic without even showing anger!

This is?

Several people were stunned for a while.

boom!

“Your Majesty!”

One of the country gentlemen turned pale and quickly knelt down, his teeth chattering.

When they thought of what they had just said, they wanted to slap themselves in the face.

"Why, are you surprised to see me?" Qin Yun asked with a smile, giving people a dangerous feeling.

Mr. Zhang from the western suburbs had a terrified look on his face: "Your Majesty! I am a little nervous to see the emperor, so..."

"Nervous? Are you nervous already? When all kinds of torture instruments are used on you, won't you become incontinent?" Qin Yun sneered.

Upon hearing this, the six people knelt on the ground, their faces turned pale instantly, and they felt guilty.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"Spare my life!"

"I was just confused for a moment, I will never dare to do it again!"

Facing the scrutiny of the emperor Qin Yun, the six people took turns begging for mercy without reservation and directly confessed their crimes.

"It seems that you still have self-awareness and know why I captured you." Qin Yun snorted coldly.

Dongjiao Nan Yuanwai cried and complained: "Your Majesty, we are just ordinary people, without power or influence. If someone threatens us, we dare not disobey!"

"It was definitely not our idea to incite the tenants and porters!"

Qin Yun raised his eyebrows: "Who threatened you?"

The six people looked at each other, not daring to hide anything, and said in unison: "Boss Lei!"

Elder Feng explained, "Your Majesty, Boss Lei is a local gangster in the imperial capital. He is usually domineering and has earned a fortune. Many people and gentry in the imperial capital are afraid of him."

"It is said that this Boss Lei has close ties with Wang Ming, the Great General of the Jinwu Guards."

Qin Yun narrowed his eyes and said, "Send someone to investigate. It would be best if they could find out some of Wang Ming's illegal activities."

"Yes!" Old Feng gave a wink, and the shadow guard disappeared.

"You six, how do you want me to deal with you? No matter whether you are coerced or not, if you dare to incite the people to come to my palace to cause trouble, you will be sentenced to death." Qin Yun said indifferently.

The six people were frightened out of their wits. The person in front of them was the emperor, and it would only take a snap of a finger to kill all nine of their clans.

"Your Majesty, spare me, spare me!"

"We don't dare anymore!"

"We will go back and explain to all the tenants and porters that the court will not increase taxes or exploit food."

Bang bang bang!

The six people kowtowed desperately, fearing that they would be killed.

Qin Yun's eyes were indifferent. He had no intention of killing the six people at all. They were just minions being used by others.

"I can give you one chance, but I don't know if you can cherish it."

The six gentry heard this, their eyes lit up, and they said in succession: "Cherish it, cherish it, we will definitely cherish it!"

Qin Yun tapped the table with his fingers and said slowly: "In addition to clarifying to the people that the tax issue is fake, I also want you to do one more thing!"

"Excuse me, what's the matter?" the six people asked cautiously.
