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

However, this was only the beginning. Before Li Xingyun finished speaking, he continued, "The reason our Shenwu Empire is in such a state today is simply because some officials hold important positions but are idle and incompetent. This is why I am determined to eradicate this situation. To this end, I have established the Bad People organization and have spread it across the land. This way, no matter what happens, they will be able to detect it, and any relevant information will be transmitted back to Shenwu City as quickly as a bird's message, reaching my ears."

Li Xingyun paused briefly, then turned his gaze to Yuan Tiangang and continued, "Yuan Tiangang, I appoint you to serve concurrently as the Bad Commander. I grant you the power to execute first and report later, as well as the responsibility of supervising all officials. My lords, do you have any objections to my decision?"

Li Xingyun's words undoubtedly promoted Yuan Tiangang while pointing the sharp sickle directly at the civil and military officials present!

If it were anyone else, even Li Qiankun, acting in this way would probably cause an uproar. After all, such an action would seriously interfere with the rights and interests of the civil and military officials, and the impact on them would be enormous. However, Li Xingyun didn't care at all, because he had his own plans in mind.

He knew full well that he already had the imperial court in his stead. As long as everyone was willing to obey his will, he could implement his policies step by step and gradually, giving everyone a chance to reform. However, if anyone dared to disobey his will, he would show no mercy, and at worst, he would directly implement drastic reforms to the entire political framework of the country!

"Your Highness, this is absolutely forbidden!" A loud cry was heard as an old man in civil servant attire hurried out from the crowd. His expression was solemn and filled with worry as he looked at Li Xingyun. Without hesitation, he knelt on both knees and kowtowed to Li Xingyun, shouting, "You are allowing the Bad Men to monitor all officials. This is like hanging a sword over the heads of all civil and military officials, ready to fall at any moment! In this way, how can all the civil and military officials serve the court, His Majesty, and Your Highness wholeheartedly? This old minister dares to ask Your Highness to revoke your order!"

Before the old man finished speaking, the other ministers echoed him.

"Yes! Yes! Your Highness, please think twice! This is no small matter, and it cannot be treated lightly!"

"Lord Sun is absolutely right. This is truly inappropriate. How can we expect all civil and military officials to serve the court wholeheartedly?"

"I beg Your Highness to revoke your order!"

For a moment, the court was filled with outrage, and many ministers spoke up one after another, as if they wanted to unite and put pressure on Li Xingyun to force him to withdraw the order.

However, in the face of this overwhelming wave of opposition, Li Xingyun remained remarkably calm. His face was as stern as water, his eyes fixed on the ministers below, and even a subtle smile played at the corner of his mouth.

"Yuan Tiangang!" Li Xingyun suddenly shouted. "Yes, Your Highness!" Yuan Tiangang responded respectfully, then slowly stood up from his seat, his gaze turning to Lord Sun who was kneeling beside him.

Mr. Sun, whose name was Sun Da, was the Minister of Rites and a native of Youzhou. Earlier this year, he had taken advantage of the New Year's celebrations to secretly withhold five million taels of silver from the imperial court. Furthermore, he had accepted bribes totaling ten million taels from the Chamber of Commerce.

The next day, Sun Da divided the silver into two parts. One part, which amounted to 12 million taels, was secretly sent by ship to his hometown in Youzhou. The other part, which amounted to 3 million taels, was hidden underwater in the pond of his mansion.

In addition, Yuan Tiangang also revealed that Sun Da had kept 5,000 private soldiers in his mansion in Youzhou, as well as a large number of weapons and armor, and even a hundred death squads.

As Yuan Tiangang exposed Sun Da's crimes one by one, Sun Da's face became more and more ugly, and his hands began to tremble involuntarily. He stared at Yuan Tiangang with eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that these things would be revealed.

"The Unruly have long since spread across the land. No one can escape their sight. Lord Sun, do I need to recount all the old scores?" Yuan Tiangang's voice was hoarse and powerful, as if every word carried an immense pressure that left one breathless. His deep eyes, now fixed on Sun Da, were as cold as ice, as if they could penetrate one's soul.

Sun Da was struck by lightning when he heard this, and his body trembled violently. His face turned pale as paper, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. He didn't dare to look Yuan Tiangang in the eye, but simply lowered his head, secretly groaning inwardly.

"thump!"

Suddenly, Sun Da seemed to lose all his strength. His knees gave way, and he fell to the ground with a thud. His forehead slammed heavily against the hard ground, making a resounding sound. He pressed his head firmly against the ground, as if this could mask the fear and anxiety within him.

Sun Da knew he was truly screwed this time. Yuan Tiangang's courage to confront him meant he knew everything he had done, and the evidence was irrefutable. In this situation, if he continued to argue, he would be courting death and only further embarrass himself.

"This old minister was confused for a moment and made a mistake. Please forgive me, Your Highness..." Sun Da's voice was filled with tears. He kowtowed and begged bitterly. At this moment, he no longer cared about dignity and face. As long as he could save his life, nothing else mattered.

However, Li Xingyun remained unmoved by his pleas. He snorted coldly, his face filled with anger as he said, "Hmph! You've committed such a grave mistake and still expect my forgiveness? Wishful thinking!" He then turned to look at the guards on either side, a flicker of determination in his eyes.

"Come here, take off the official hat of the former Minister of Rites Sun Da, demote him to a commoner, and put him in jail! Sun Da's family in Youzhou will be confiscated and exterminated! And his crimes will be announced to the world, so that the world will trample on him and the people will spit on him! He will be infamous for a hundred years!" Li Xingyun's voice was as cold as iron, without any emotional fluctuation, as if what he was judging was not a person's life or death, but an ordinary matter.
