I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

After being stunned for a while, Chen Liu helplessly gave Jiang Yuan a thumbs up.

"Although what you said makes sense, we can't kill too many. If we kill them all, wouldn't the court tomorrow morning be mostly empty? Then there will definitely be chaos in the world."

Jiang Yuan thought about it carefully for a while, then nodded reluctantly, "Okay, let's see what happens. Now let's go to the Zhao family first."

Chen Liu turned his head and looked at Wei Yong, who immediately understood. He waved his hand and took away three hundred masters from the East Factory to head to the Zhao family to blockade it.

When the group arrived at Zhao's house, the door had already been opened. Wei Yong stood at the door quietly waiting for Chen Liu and Jiang Yuan.

"No one ran away, right?" Jiang Yuan asked.

Wei Yong shook his head: "Don't worry, sir, with three hundred East Factory masters, the Zhao family can't even get a dog out!"

The three of them stopped talking and walked into the Zhao family silently.

At this time, in the Zhao family ancestral hall, Zhao Tiannan and his son Zhao Ming bowed to the many tablets and inserted the incense in their hands into the incense burner.

"Ming'er, do you know what situation the Zhao family has reached now?" Zhao Tiannan's expression remained calm. After all, he was in a high position, and he was unwilling to lose face even if he was about to die.

"I know." Zhao Ming's voice trembled a little.

Hundreds of people from the East Factory directly surrounded the Zhao family. It was obvious what they were going to do.

Zhao Tiannan nodded, turned his head and looked at the surrounding environment, then said: "Tomorrow, without further ado, your father will go out and hold them back. Go in and rotate your great-grandfather's tablet. Take this and run for your life."

As Zhao Tiannan spoke, he stuffed a piece of unknown leather into Zhao Ming's hand.

"This contains the wealth accumulated by our Zhao family over the generations. As long as we have this, the Zhao family still has hope of making a comeback."

"But from now on, you'll be alone. Your father hopes you'll remain calm and think twice before acting. Before you're fully grown, don't offend a powerful enemy."

"Since ancient times, the world has always been united and divided, and divided and united. When the dynasty changes, my Zhao family will still be a thousand-year-old family!"

After Zhao Tiannan finished speaking, he immediately turned around and left.

"Father! Why can't we go together?" Zhao Ming rushed over and grabbed Zhao Tiannan's sleeve.

Zhao Tiannan gently tugged at his sleeves, unable to pull them free. He sighed, "Father can't leave. If they come in and don't see me, they'll definitely attack. If they find you, our Zhao family will be finished."

"Let go of your hand and go quickly. I will help you buy time." After Zhao Tiannan said this, he saw that his son still refused to let go, so he had to harden his heart and slap Zhao Ming in the face.

"Rebellious son! What do you think your father's reason for letting you go was? Was it just to keep you alive?"

"This is for the entire Zhao family! Turn around and look at the tablets of our ancestors. If the Zhao family is finished in my hands, how will I face them after I leave?"

After saying that, Zhao Tiannan suddenly pulled open his sleeves and strode forward.

"Ming'er, you know what's more important."

In the night, Zhao Ming stood there, quietly watching Zhao Tiannan's departing back.

……

On the other side, Jiang Yuan and his companions had already dealt with several ignorant guards of the Zhao family. Just as they continued to move in, Zhao Tiannan came up with dozens of guards.

"Where did this traitor come from? How dare he trespass into my Zhao family!" Zhao Tiannan shouted with full energy.

Jiang Yuan and Chen Liu looked at each other and immediately laughed. What a good trick of turning the tables!

"Lord Zhao, long time no see." Chen Liu stepped forward and looked at Zhao Tiannan teasingly.

Zhao Tiannan paused, his brows furrowed. "General Chen, what do you mean by this? Even if you are the general of the East Factory, you can't just break into my house and hurt people for no reason, right?"

Chen Liu scratched his ear casually and said, "Not only will he hurt people, he'll kill people later."

"Could it be that Consul General Chen brought the emperor's order?" Zhao Tiannan said with a gloomy face.

"No, let alone an imperial decree, there is not even an oral order. What can you do to me?" Chen Liu said lazily.

"Hahaha!" Zhao Tiannan sneered and looked at the two of them: "So this is what you two adults mean?"

"Oh, you know what, I actually guessed it right." Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

"How dare you!" Zhao Tiannan roared, pointing his finger at the two men. "My Zhao family is a hero who followed the late emperor in conquering the world. If you want to kill them, please show me the emperor's order. If not, I will go before the emperor and accuse you of disregarding the law!"

Chen Liu slowly drew the long sword from his waist and said, "Master Zhao, I think you have misunderstood."

"I'm the head of the East Depot! I can kill you first and ask for your permission later. This is imperial authority! Why would I need an imperial decree to kill you? I'm from the East Depot, and that's enough!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Liu waved the long sword in his hand, and Wei Yong and others rushed out instantly.

"Protect the master! Go ahead!" The guards of the Zhao family showed no sign of weakness and rushed forward with their swords drawn.

But this was like hitting a rock with an egg. Under the attack of one hundred masters from the East Factory, these guards could not even hold out for half a minute and all fell to the ground.

Only Zhao Tiannan was left, and he was also escorted by Wei Yong to Jiang Yuan and the other man.

"Let me go! You have no right to kill me. I want to see His Majesty! I want to see His Majesty!" Zhao Tiannan struggled desperately like a madman, but there was no possibility of escaping from Wei Yong's hands.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but narrow his eyes: "Old Chen, do you feel anything is wrong?"

"What's wrong? Isn't this normal?" Chen Liu said, patting Jiang Yuandu's shoulder.

"Don't worry, when I dealt with corrupt officials before, most of them behaved like this. They might even beg for mercy later."

As Chen Liu spoke, he walked up to Zhao Tiannan with the long sword in his hand and put the long sword on his neck without hesitation.

"Zhao Tiannan, do you admit your guilt?"

"What crime have I committed! Chenliu, don't think that the late emperor valued you and gave you some privileges, so you can do whatever you want. His Majesty will not allow you to kill innocent people like this! I want to see His Majesty!" Zhao Tiannan was still shouting madly.

This time, even Chen Liu felt a little unbelievable.

Zhao Tiannan's behavior was too abnormal. He didn't even beg for mercy.

This is extremely abnormal. How many people in this world are not afraid of death?

Those guys who say they are not afraid of death, when the death is really imminent, do you see if they will beg for mercy? I guarantee that their knees will be weaker than anyone else's.

"Wei Yong, take people in and bring all the direct descendants of the Ning family to me." Chen Liu said with a frown.

"Chen Liu! You bastard! Kill me if you dare. I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!" Zhao Tiannan roared again, but this time Chen Liu didn't bother to pay attention to Zhao Tiannan. He walked straight to Jiang Yuan and whispered:

"Old Jiang, this isn't good. I think there's something that slipped through the net."

Jiang Yuan glanced at Zhao Tiannan silently: "It's okay, my parents are still here, so I won't travel far away."
