Li Shimin faked his death? Then I will be powerful enough to conquer the world!

When Zhang Xianhuai heard this, his face turned grim and he nodded slightly.

"Bring the stuff over here."

His voice echoed in this slightly gloomy atmosphere.

"Yes! Commander Zhang!"

After receiving the order, the Jinyiwei on the side immediately responded respectfully, turned around and left quickly.

Soon, a memorial tablet carefully wrapped in white cloth was carefully handed to Zhang Xianhuai.

Zhang Xianhuai took the spirit tablet and felt as if it was weighing a thousand pounds in his hand.

He held the tablet tightly and closed his eyes.

"Jing Suo, you are in heaven, just look at me."

"Eliminate evil and uphold justice, and cleanse the filth and turbidity!"

……

"Let's go and see the famous head of the Taiyuan Wang family!"

As he spoke, he strode towards the Wang family's secret room under the guidance of the Jinyiwei.

The Jinyiwei behind him quickly caught up, their footsteps were neat and heavy, like rumbling thunder.

Soon, everyone arrived at the Wang family's secret room.

Wang Qizhao's fat body was stuck in the entrance of the secret passage in a corner of the secret room, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

His face was flushed red like a cooked shrimp, and the veins on his forehead bulged like winding earthworms.

Sweat poured down like rain, soaking his already greasy face.

His eyes were filled with fear and despair. The arrogance and domineering demeanor he had in the past had long since disappeared without a trace. Now, only fear and helplessness remained.

His fat trembled violently as he struggled, swaying wave after wave, but this only made him get stuck tighter, unable to move at all.

Originally, this secret passage was designed quite cleverly. If one was not careful, many people could escape through it.

Zhang Xianhuai looked around the secret room. In addition to Wang Qizhao, there were a total of eighteen members of the Wang family here.

Unfortunately, Wang Qizhao was too scared and wanted to leave first because of his status as the head of the family, but he got stuck at the entrance of the secret passage.

The only escape route for others was blocked, making it impossible for anyone to escape.

Zhang Xianhuai looked at the secret passage thoughtfully.

"Brothers, please remember that the family must have secret passages, and there are more than one. However, they are probably all in disrepair and no one uses them. They will only be remembered when life and death are at stake."

"Brothers, please be more careful when doing things next time!"

"Yes! Commander!"

The Jinyiwei responded in unison.

At this moment, the remaining members of the Wang family looked ashen and knelt on the ground one by one.

The Jinyiwei held embroidered spring swords in their hands, and the sharp blades were firmly placed on their necks. Any slight movement would result in blood splattering on the spot.

Zhang Xianhuai slowly walked to the entrance of the secret passage, then slowly squatted down, staring straight at Wang Qizhao's fat face.

There was a faint smile on his face, but there was a chilling chill in that smile.

"Do you know me, Patriarch of the Wang family?"

His voice was eerily calm, as if he was just chatting casually with Wang Qizhao.

"Zhang Xianhuai, you can't kill me! If you kill me, you will be punished by heaven!"

Wang Qizhao shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice becoming sharp and piercing due to fear, and it kept echoing in the small secret room.

Zhang Xianhuai shook his ears, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he stretched out his hand with a smile and gently touched Wang Qizhao's head.

The action seemed gentle, but it made Wang Qizhao feel like a thorn in his back.

"The Patriarch of the Wang Family can't see that you look like a fat pig, but you actually know the commander's name. You are quite well-informed, aren't you?"

After saying that, Zhang Xianhuai's expression suddenly changed. His face, which originally had a hint of mockery in it, instantly became extremely cold, and his eyes were as sharp as ice knives.

He suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Wang Qizhao's hair tightly, and lifted his head up with force, forcing Wang Qizhao to look at him and stare at him fiercely.

"God's punishment? The sins you committed are the true wrath of heaven and man."

"You've committed crimes in Taiyuan City, exploiting the people. Your hands are stained with the blood of innocent people. How dare you beg for mercy from me now?"

"Did you let those people go when they begged for mercy?"

He looked at Wang Qizhao jokingly, and the smile on his face grew wider and wider.

"Why should you let this commander let you go?"

Zhang Xianhuai's words completely shattered his last bit of hope.

"Commander Zhang, they are just some untouchables. They have been working like slaves for my Wang family for generations and they are used to it."

Wang Qizhao was still making his last struggle. Although his voice was trembling with fear, he still pretended to be calm, trying to use such words to defend himself.

"Commander Zhang, you are a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and I come from a noble family in Taiyuan. Aren't those lowly people born to serve us?"

"How about this? You submit a petition to the court, saying that our Taiyuan Wang family is willing to submit to the court. You tell His Majesty that the other noble families are about to rebel! The Taiyuan Wang family can pay for it!"

The more Wang Qizhao spoke, the more confident he became. He seemed to feel that he had grasped a life-saving straw, and there was even a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"I have a lot of money. I only ask you to show mercy and spare our Wang family. The Wang family is willing to support the court in redressing the injustice!"

It is common knowledge that the imperial court is short of money. The Wang family's business is spread all over the Tang Dynasty and they are rich enough to rival a country.

Killing the Wang family is not as beneficial as getting them to join you!

Thinking of this, Wang Qizhao felt a lot more at ease. He was sure that Zhang Xianhuai would not dare to make this decision privately. After all, destroying a noble family was unheard of in the past!

Zhang Xianhuai just looked at him coldly, as if he was looking at a clown, without a trace of pity or emotion in his eyes.

"Are you done, Master Wang?" His voice was still calm, but beneath the calmness there was an irresistible majesty.

Wang Qizhao nodded, with a hint of expectation still in his eyes. He thought Zhang Xianhuai would be shaken.

"Then it's my turn to speak."

Zhang Xianhuai slowly stood up and looked down at Wang Qizhao with an increasingly cold look in his eyes.

"The crimes committed by your Wang family are too numerous to list. In order to fight against the imperial court, you forcibly conscripted soldiers and extorted money. How many innocent people have you harmed?"

"Look at the prosperous city of Taiyuan. After being tormented by your Wang family, does it still have any popularity?"

"Also, this commander is telling you, even if we kill you all, the money will still belong to the court."

"By the way, this commander heard that you like to play with beauty paper and beauty bowls?"

Wang Qizhao wanted to say something else, but Zhang Xianhuai suddenly grabbed his hair and pulled it hard, pulling a handful of hair out.

Wang Qizhao screamed in pain, and blood beads kept coming out of his scalp, flowing down his cheeks, staining his face blood red.

"Do you think you can escape today? It's not that I don't want to take revenge, it's just that the time has not come yet."

"Now your comeuppance has come."

"Do you think your wealth and power allow you to do whatever you want?"

"Open your dog eyes and take a look. Can't you see the situation clearly?"

"Do you still think your Wang family is so high and mighty?"

"Also, I have good news for you. We, the Jinyiwei, have countless ways of torturing people, making them wish they were neither alive nor dead!"

That chilling smile appeared on Zhang Xianhuai's face again.

"It's just right. This commander intends to try them all on you." He said to Wang Qizhao with a smile.
