The First Tyrant of Daxia

"Well, Master's wife, what on earth do you want so much money for?"

Murong raised an eyebrow: "Keep it secret for now."

"What, you regret it?"

Qin Yun chuckled: "No regrets, that's right... Use it sparingly, I'll need a lot of money to expand the army and so on."

"You're not a man at all. You haven't even given me the money yet and you're already asking me to save money." Murong snorted, gradually revealing her feminine side.

"That can be..."

He had just said half of his words when the carriage suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Qin Yun frowned. This distance was definitely not enough to reach the Commerce Department.

Elder Feng leaned against the window and said, "Your Majesty, something has happened."

"There are a large number of people blocking the road ahead. We can't get through. Should we reveal our identities and disperse them?"

Wow.

Qin Yun lifted the beaded curtain and looked outside.

I saw that the street ahead was completely blocked. It was impossible to get through and I couldn't see what was going on inside. The scene was a bit noisy, with the sound of children crying.

"Go and see what's going on."

"Yes!"

Soon, the Jinyiwei returned and reported: "Your Majesty, there are deaths in the house ahead, many people have died."

"And there are a large number of children who were trafficked, not of slavery, but they were chained in the backyard."

"It seems that Lord Qi Yong has also been alarmed!"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed slightly.

Child trafficking?

Qin Yun's face fell. No matter what era it is, those who kidnap children should be cut into pieces. This is no small matter!

"People are dying and children are being kidnapped. I was just saying that the security in the capital was good. Are you slapping me in the face?"

"Let Qi Yong come over here!"

Jinyiwei was startled: "Yes!"

Soon, Qi Yong squeezed out from the surging crowd, his face covered in sweat and terrified.

Damn it, such a thing happens once a month, and His Majesty happened to see it.

Mr. Feng gave him a look that told him to take care of himself.

He was about to cry and ran to the carriage and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I come to see you!"

Qin Yun said in a bad voice: "Explain, what's going on?"

"The Heavenly Sacrifice is approaching, and you are trying to make me unhappy. Why are so many people dead under the Emperor's feet? What's going on with the children being abducted?"

Qi Yong broke out in a cold sweat and his limbs were shaking.

He immediately said, "Your Majesty, more than 20 abducted children have been rescued, and the dead were from a wealthy family in the city."

"This family was wiped out."

"It is said that someone killed him last night. Preliminary judgment shows that this family is the criminals who kidnapped children. They deserve the punishment."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the child was okay, otherwise it would have been a big deal.

"Who is the murderer?"

"Why didn't you report it to the authorities, instead of abusing lynching? Is it because of your inaction that people took such a risk?"

Qin Yun's voice was full of interrogation and oppression.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yong's scalp tingled and he shook his head like a rattle.

"Your Majesty, it's unjust. You have repeatedly warned us not to take the people's complaints lightly."

"I have checked and no one has reported this matter, nor has anyone reported that there is child trafficking in the capital. This incident happened very suddenly."

Qin Yun narrowed his eyes: "So there are some people in the martial arts world who are chivalrous and use force to break the ban?"

Qi Yong's eyes narrowed.

He admired and said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"That's true, because someone saw the perpetrator carrying a huge sword last night. He must be a martial arts master."

"When they were found not long ago, there was water and food in front of each of the imprisoned children. I guess they were left by the perpetrator."

Upon hearing this, everyone had different expressions.

Murong Shunhua's beautiful eyes lit up: "In that case, this perpetrator is still a character. Those who kidnap children should die!"

As she said this, she glanced at Qin Yun again: "But...you shouldn't resort to lynching."

Qin Yun fell into deep thought at this time.

Giant sword?

Why does it sound so familiar?

Then he frowned and asked, "Is there anyone alive at the scene?"

Qi Yong shook his head: "No one is left alive, only the children. The whole family was slaughtered and beaten to a pulp. Many coroners vomited when they went in."

Qin Yun frowned: "You go and properly place those children."

"Also, the murderer needs to be thoroughly investigated. No matter what, it is not okay to use force to indiscriminately prohibit others. If the intention is good, then we should punish him lightly and give him a severe warning."

"If you are just venting your anger, then follow the iron law!"

Qi Yong looked embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, this may not be a good idea... If our court issues a wanted order, the people will be unhappy."

"Listen, there are still people cheering in that crowd."

"Many parents who lost their children knelt there, calling out to the benefactor. If the murderer is caught, the public opinion will be..."

Murong frowned and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, there is also human feelings outside the law."

Qin Yun raised his eyebrows: "Didn't I say I don't want favors?"

"But I cannot let morality override the laws of Daxia!"

"There are so many people who do evil. If everyone can rely on their own abilities to snatch heads with flying swords and take revenge, wouldn't that be a mess?"

"Where is the dignity of the imperial court? What is the imperial court for?"

It was loud and deafening.

Everyone can have peace.

Murong Shunhua, who has always been chivalrous and courageous, remained silent. She knew that what he said was true, even though she herself used to be such a person.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"There is news, and I will report it to you as soon as possible." Qi Yong said belatedly.

Qin Yun hummed: "If you are unsure, come to me."

"Let's go."

"Take a detour."

Everyone was shocked and exclaimed.

"Your Majesty, how can this be possible? You are the emperor."

"Should I have someone disperse the people?"

Qin Yun waved his hand: "Keep everything simple and low-key!"

"Go ahead, it's important to deal with the matter, don't let the people panic."

Seeing this, Qi Yong could only nod in agreement.

Then he watched Qin Yun change his route, feeling extremely uneasy in his heart. He was truly a ruthless and yet kind and easy-going Majesty.

In the carriage.

Murong Shunhua suddenly said, "I have a new appreciation for you."

Qin Yun opened one eye and said jokingly, "Then I have to thank you for not killing me. To be honest, if I hadn't been so smooth-talking and tricked you, I should have been killed by you, and this wouldn't have happened."

Her face turned slightly red as she recalled some interesting events in the past, including the scene where she entered the imperial city and assassinated the tyrant Qin Yun.

Who could have imagined that things would turn out like this and that I would be his bedside companion.

"Why, do you still want to settle old scores?"

"What kind of character did you have in the past? Don't you have any sense? The starting point of this master is not wrong."

Qin Yun smiled but said nothing. In fact, most of the bad reputation was accumulated by the original owner.

At most, I am a little lustful.

"That's right, so I didn't do anything to you."

"What about this giant swordsman? Is his intention bad?" Murong Shunhua asked again.

Hearing this, Qin Yun instantly focused his mind, as if he had grasped something.

He always felt that the word "giant sword" sounded very familiar!

"What's wrong?" Murong's beautiful eyes flickered.

"Say again what you just said!" Qin Yun held her hand tightly, trying to recall something.
