At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

When Xia Yun withdrew the troops guarding various entrances and exits, the large number of troops who had just arrived at the outskirts of the street immediately began to clean up the streets.

The main thing to be cleaned up, naturally, were the thousands of corpses.

It is now midsummer in the world. If these thousands of corpses are not dealt with in time, they will rot and become maggoty in less than a day.

By then, there would even be a risk of causing an epidemic in the capital.

At the same time, Xia Yun's guards also began to clean up the battlefield.

"Sir, what should we do with these two guys?"

When Xia Yun's eyes were fixed on the outskirts of the street, Jiang Wenzhong's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

Xia Yun looked back and found that the person Jiang Wenzhong was talking about was Xiao Chaogui who was hanging on the pillar, and the other was Mu Chun who was nailed to the ground.

"Tied."

Xia Yun swept his cold gaze over the two of them. Xiao Chaogui had been motionless for a long time and looked like he was dead.

As for Mu Chun, having witnessed Xia Yun's brutal methods, he was filled with fear and did not dare to speak.

After receiving the order, Jiang Wenzhong immediately ordered his men to release Xiao Chaogui.

"Sir, this guy is still alive."

The two guards reported.

"Tied."

Jiang Wenzhong responded coldly.

In about a cup of tea, a clear path was cleared from the outer edge of the street through the interface of Fenglai Inn.

A group of officials dressed in bright red official robes also came to the open space outside the inn.

Xia Yun did not leave because he had been waiting here for these people.

"The cabinet has issued an order that Zhao Wang Xiao Tiannan, Mu Wang Mu Tianxin, Dongcheng County Wang Xiao Chaochaogui, and Nine Gates Admiral Mu Chun are planning to rebel and are to be immediately handed over to the Ministry of Justice for dismissal and investigation!"

The first person to break the silence between the two sides was an official Xia Yun did not know.

In the cabinet's decree, Xiao Tiannan, Mu Tianxin and others were directly charged with treason.

Hearing this, Xia Yun's lips immediately curled up into a sneer.

This order comes at the perfect time!

You can't play if you don't come earlier. You have to wait until he kills all the people before coming.

"Are you Xia Yun?"

At this time, a middle-aged man who was the leader among the red-robed officials suddenly looked at Xia Yun and asked.

Xia Yun met the man's gaze, and a hint of unfriendly look immediately flashed in his eyes.

"Xia Yun, this is the son of the current Lord Xu, the young Lord Xu Miao."

When the atmosphere became awkward, Xiao Yan, who had hurried in from the outside, immediately introduced the identity of the visitor to Xia Yun.

Little cabinet minister?

Xia Yun frowned. This was not the first time he had heard this name. As early as when he was in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, many people used this name to suppress him.

"Meet the young minister."

After a moment, Xia Yun nodded actively. As long as the other party didn't cause him trouble, there was no need for him to make enemies everywhere.

"I've long heard that Master Xia Yunxia is young and promising. Seeing him today, I can see that he is indeed extraordinary."

Only then did Xu Miao smile and nodded.

But in Xia Yun's eyes, his smile seemed a bit fake.

"By order of the Cabinet, Lord Xia, I will take all these people away."

An official who looked to be in his fifties or sixties on Xu Miao's left suddenly looked at Xia Yun and spoke.

"Xia Yun, this is the Minister of Justice, Mr. Zhou Quanzhou."

Xiao Yan introduced again beside Xia Yun.

There was a hint of reminiscence in Xia Yun's eyes. He remembered that Xiao Yan had told him before that this Minister of Justice was a clean and upright minister in the court.

However, he was still somewhat worried about handing Xiao Tiannan and others over like this.

After all, no matter how serious the crimes Xiao Tiannan and others committed, they were still princes of the imperial court.

If the empress in the palace, considering the royal favor, grants them amnesty, he would be dumbfounded on the spot.

"Why? Could it be that Lord Xia is unwilling to hand over these rebellious officials?"

While Xia Yun was hesitating, the middle-aged man in the royal robe spoke.

And as soon as he opened his mouth, there was a strong sense of threat in his voice.

At this point, even if Xiao Yan didn't say it, Xia Yun could guess this person's identity.

It should be Prince An who was among the loud shouts just now.

Xia Yun knew very little about Prince An.

But if the other party intends to do the same as Mu Tianxin and use his status as a prince to suppress him, then he has made a wrong calculation.

"What if Xia doesn't hand it over?"

Xia Yun's gaze was focused on Prince An's eyes, and his words were also full of provocation.

However, after these words were spoken, Xiao Yan on the side became a little anxious.

He took two steps at a time and came directly to Xia Yun's ear, whispering, "Young Lord has mobilized the Shenji Battalion and the Shence Army, and has surrounded all the nearby streets."

After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he looked at Xia Yun seriously.

Xia Yun immediately understood what he meant.

Just before crossing into this world, he had already heard about the two most powerful fighting forces in the capital.

They are the Shenjiying and the Shence Army respectively.

Generally speaking, the Shenji Camp is directly commanded by the current empress, while the Shen Ce Army is under the control of the cabinet.

It is precisely because of the existence of these two forces that the status of the empress and the cabinet is superior to that of all court officials, including the princes!

Xia Yun noticed that the middle-aged general on Xu Miao's right looked at him with some hostility.

Obviously, this person should be the commander of the Shenji Camp who came here, Lord Huang.

"Master Xia, I already understand what happened today. You were just forced to fight back. The cabinet will never punish you easily."

Xu Miao spoke again immediately, as if he saw through Xia Yun's inner worries and gave him a reassurance.

Hearing this, Xia Yun fell into deep thought on the spot.

Judging from the current situation, handing over Xiao Tiannan and others may be the best option.

After all, he couldn't really rebel on the spot and make enemies with all the officials in Beijing.

But just when Xia Yun fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, a figure walked out of Fenglai Inn. It was none other than Xiao Ling'er.

Or in other words, she is the empress of the current dynasty.

Because Xia Yun had his back to the empress, he did not see the empress at first.

However, the officials and princes headed by Xu Miao all showed a confused look on their faces when they saw the empress walking out of the inn.

His Majesty? !

Xu Miao's face changed instantly. He didn't understand why the empress would appear in such a place.

Could it be that when the chaos broke out earlier, the Empress was also in the inn? !

The Minister of Justice and the Commander of the Shenjiying Camp both had expressions of extreme astonishment on their faces. They were the most loyal subjects of the empress and were about to step forward to meet her.

However, Xu Miao was very observant and he discovered that the empress was wearing ordinary people's clothes and not a dragon robe.

In addition, the empress appeared inexplicably in this situation.

Therefore, when the Minister of Justice and the commander of the Shenji Camp were about to come forward for an audience, Xu Miao simply stretched out his hand to stop the two and blurted out an order.

"Order all soldiers to leave the streets immediately!"
