Started from listening to music in the brothel and earned billions of bad people

This series of thrilling events had already stunned the many people present. They stared with wide eyes, their faces full of disbelief, and their heads seemed to be filled with paste, and they were unable to understand for a while.

"This... the King of Qin is actually serious about this!" Someone in the crowd was the first to exclaim in surprise, which immediately caused a commotion and discussion.

"That's right. Look at Tang Xiaosan's leg. It's broken like that and bleeding. It's really horrible! It seems that the King of Qin is determined to vent his anger on us ordinary people this time!" A burly man said, waving his arms excitedly.

"Having said that, Tang Xiaosan is the biological son of the Tang family patriarch after all! Even if his legs are broken, it is enough to teach him a lesson. Could it be that the King of Qin would really be so cruel as to take his life?" Some people questioned that things might not develop to such a decisive point.

As everyone debated, Tang Si, having received Li Xingyun's permission, rushed to the front of the stage as if granted amnesty. He bowed respectfully to Li Xingyun, who sat at the top. He lowered his head, his body slightly bent, and spoke with the utmost humility: "I, Tang Si, pay my respects to His Majesty the Prince of Qin!" However, despite his humble demeanor, Tang Si never knelt.

This action caught Li Xingyun's eye instantly. His already narrow and deep eyes narrowed even further, like two rays of cold light shooting out from the slits. A subtle flicker of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself: If I want to quickly win the hearts of the people, the best way is undoubtedly to seek justice for these oppressed people and avenge their blood feud. And the people's greatest enemy is precisely these aristocratic families who are now tyrannically exploiting the people!

"Is there something wrong with Master Tang?" Li Xingyun crossed his arms, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked expressionlessly at the panicked Tang Si in front of him, and asked in a neutral tone.

Hearing Li Xingyun's question, a thin layer of sweat instantly appeared on Tang Si's forehead. He hurriedly bowed and said in fear and trepidation: "My son is ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and actually committed such a heinous mistake. I will order him to die as an atonement!" As he said that, Tang Si turned around and looked at Tang Xiaosan who was lying on the ground groaning in pain, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

"Dad... Dad... I'm not wrong. It was him who had my leg broken because of a disagreement!" Tang Xiaosan endured the excruciating pain in his leg, struggled to get up, and hugged Tang Si's thigh tightly, wailing at the top of his lungs. At this moment, his face was filled with fear and confusion, completely unaware of the magnitude of his mistake.

"Shut up!" Tang Si shouted angrily, raising his hand to slap Tang Xiaosan, but he finally held back.

"Please forgive me, Your Highness. It's all because of my poor parenting skills and my negligence in disciplining my son that today's disaster has occurred."

"Forgive me? Haha." Li Xingyun sneered, his laughter as cold and piercing as if it came from the Nine Netherworlds. His eyes were as cold as ice as he stared intently at Tang Si. He slowly spoke, "Your Tang family has been bullying the people and exploiting them for years, arousing public outrage. Today, I will enforce justice on behalf of Heaven!" With that, Li Xingyun waved his hand and ordered the guards behind him, "Come here! Tang Xiaosan of the Tang family dares to defy the imperial authority. He will be beaten to death immediately! Tang Si is lawless and disrupting the government. He will be imprisoned and await his punishment!"

"Your Highness!" When Tang Si heard this, his face turned ashen in an instant, his eyes widened, and anger seemed to burst out of his eye sockets. He stared straight at Li Xingyun without any fear.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Tang Xiaosan is dead, so what? He brought it upon himself. No one else is to blame. But as the head of the Tang family, if I am thrown into prison for no apparent reason, how will our Tang family maintain its dignity? This is simply trampling on the Tang family's reputation!"

Facing Tang Si's angry questioning, Li Xingyun just responded coldly with an expressionless face: "Oh? You don't accept it?" The voice was so cold that it made people shiver.

Tang Si stiffened his neck and continued to argue without flinching, "Of course I don't accept it! I've never done anything wrong. Why are you throwing me in jail?"

At this moment, the Mirror Heart Demon suddenly stepped forward and righteously rebuked him, "You daring lunatic! Southern Xinjiang is the fiefdom of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, and all affairs here are under his jurisdiction. You, an ignorant child, actually dared to contradict the Prince in court, and even refused to kneel before him. Such behavior has already committed a serious crime. The Prince has shown you the greatest kindness and mercy by not ordering your execution today!"

Hearing this, Tang Si knew he was in the wrong, but the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. He knew that if he gave in so easily today, the Tang family would never be able to hold their head high in this land again. So, he feigned composure and shouted, "Hmph, our Tang family is not a soft persimmon to be bullied!" He raised his voice deliberately, hoping to use the family's prestige to force Li Xingyun to yield.

However, Li Xingyun remained unmoved. Instead, he looked resolutely at the onlookers and declared loudly, "Today, I am the king. If anyone wishes to sue the Tang family, I will accept each case one by one and show no leniency! I will definitely give everyone justice!"

The attitude is clear. The next step is to win over the people's hearts and eradicate the evil forces for them!

"I...I want to sue the Tang family's steward for stealing my land." There was silence for a moment, and then a ragged old man spoke first. This might be the only chance for revenge in his life, and he couldn't miss it!

"Okay, I'll take it!" Li Xingyun smiled, and when someone spoke, others echoed.

As expected, voices suing the Tang family soon rang out.

"I want to sue the eldest son of the Tang family for raping me..."

"I want to sue Tang Si, the head of the Tang family..."

"I want to sue the Tang family..."

Tang Si retreated angrily, and he understood what was going on. He looked at Li Xingyun coldly. He knew that this was an attempt to establish his authority by using the Tang family.

"Okay, Li Cunxiao, listen to my orders!" Li Xingyun nodded with satisfaction and looked at Li Cunxiao below.

"I obey your orders!" Li Cunxiao immediately saluted respectfully and waited for orders.

"Lead the guards of the Prince of Qin's Palace to arrest all the direct descendants of the Tang family and bring them back to the prison for questioning!" Li Xingyun ordered sternly. His commanding voice echoed in the spacious hall, as if carrying an unquestionable force.

"Yes!" Li Cunxiao and the others responded in unison, immediately clasping their fists in salute. Their movements were perfectly coordinated, like a well-trained army. Then, in a flash, they left the hall, vanishing like ghosts.
