Shocking! The killer traveled through time and space and became a female Shura, killing like crazy
Chapter 297 The End of the He Family
In the magnificent palace, the emperor sat on the dragon throne, tightly clutching Shangguan Yunting's letter. As his eyes moved over the letter, his expression gradually darkened. His once peaceful eyes instantly filled with endless anger, his brow furrowed, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly.
He slammed the table in anger and roared, "Rebellious son, I originally wanted to spare your life, but you chose death by illegally mining iron ore, recruiting soldiers to expand your power, and even assassinating your uncle. You are a fool. I will not forgive you this time, otherwise you will usurp the throne and kill the king and father in the future."
"Xiao Qi!"
The emperor shouted sternly, his voice echoing in the empty palace with unquestionable majesty.
Xiao Qi, the commander of the Imperial Guards, hurried forward and knelt on one knee: "I am here!"
The emperor's eyes widened in anger as he barked out an order: "Send someone to eliminate the exiled Shangguan Jue. He must not escape! Also, I hereby declare that Imperial Censor He Yongzhen has been illegally mining iron ore for military training and plotting rebellion. All of He's family property will be confiscated, and his entire clan will be executed!"
Xiao Qi's heart trembled, knowing that this matter was of great importance, and he quickly responded, "I obey your orders!"
After Xiao Qi left, the emperor sat on the dragon throne, his chest heaving violently, the anger in his heart still not subsided.
Thinking back to his eldest son Shangguan Jue, although he was not fit to be a future king, if he had not crossed his bottom line, he would not have had the heart to order his death. After all, he was his own son.
Thinking about how he had murdered the Third Prince in the past, he could turn a blind eye to it. Secondly, he also wanted to train Rui'er to grow, but privately mining iron ore and recruiting soldiers to expand his power was absolutely intolerable.
Eunuch Chen saw that the emperor was in a bad mood, so he served carefully, fearing that he would do something wrong and be punished.
何府
Censor He knelt in the He family ancestral hall, looking at the He family ancestors who had assisted three generations of kings, and felt guilty towards them.
"Ancestors of the He family, I, He Yongzhen, am powerless, watching as our entire family is about to cease to exist, yet I can do nothing about it."
"I want to leave some bloodline for the He family, but the emperor has sent people to monitor the entire mansion, and it is extremely difficult to send the children away. Please bless them to escape this disaster."
Ever since Shangguan Yunting received the order to go to Pingzhou to provide disaster relief, he has been worried every day, always having a premonition of impending disaster, like the depressing and dull silence before the storm, which keeps him awake at night and unable to eat or sleep.
At the New Year's Eve banquet, the eldest prince and Concubine He conspired to murder Concubine Rong and died. Although the emperor did not order his execution, he sent people to monitor the entire He Mansion. He knew that the He family was doomed and it would not be long before there would be no He Mansion in the capital.
At this moment, the housekeeper came running in, his face terrified: "Master... Master... It's bad. Many imperial guards have come outside and surrounded the entire mansion. Commander Xiao has come in person with the emperor's edict."
Upon hearing this, Censor He swayed, knowing that the truth had finally been revealed, and his former glory and power would vanish in an instant.
Thinking of the catastrophic disaster that his family was about to face, Censor He couldn't help but sigh, tears quietly sliding down his cheeks.
He looked at the numerous tablets of the He family and said sadly, "My dear ancestors, the He family will be ruined in my hands. I have no face to see you. I will apologize to you in the afterlife."
He glanced at the entire ancestral hall and stood up reluctantly. He calmed himself down, tidied his clothes and walked out.
When Censor He arrived at the main hall, all twenty or thirty members of the He family, young and old, looked at him in horror. Madam He said worriedly, "Master..."
"Ma'am, don't panic. What's coming will eventually come. We will face it calmly."
Mrs. He looked at her young grandchildren and felt sorry for them. She was in her sixties and had already been buried up to her neck in the earth, so what was there to fear about death? But her grandchildren were still young, and she couldn't bear to let them die with her.
But when something happened to the eldest prince and Concubine He, she guessed that the He family was not far from being exterminated.
Censor He and his entire family knelt on the ground to receive the imperial edict.
Xiao Qi read the imperial edict aloud.
When Censor He heard the charges one by one, he felt like he was struck by lightning and was completely stunned.
After Xiao Qi read out the imperial edict, the women of the He family burst into tears, not daring to face the truth of beheading.
Xiao Qi reminded: "He Yushi, please accept the order!"
Censor He took the imperial edict with trembling hands.
Xiao Qi ordered the Imperial Guards to take all the members of the He family to jail.
Soon, the He family members were tied up and escorted out in a panic. The He family members who usually showed off their power now had pale faces, their eyes filled with fear and despair.
The women of the He family cried bitterly, their former wealth and honor were no longer there.
The streets were crowded with people, and the crowd was filled with discussions. Some applauded, while others shook their heads and sighed.
At the same time, another team was ordered to confiscate the He family's property. Boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, and precious antiques were carried out of the He family's house, gleaming brightly in the sunlight.
As the He family gradually faded away, the He family, which had existed for hundreds of years, ceased to exist.
All the civil and military officials were stunned. His upright and righteous appearance in the past was still vivid in their minds.
Unexpectedly, he and the eldest prince secretly mined iron ore, recruited soldiers and expanded their power. They knew the law but broke it, and they deserved to die.
Officials who usually had good relations with him were now filled with disbelief, shaking their heads and sighing. Meanwhile, those officials he had impeached were secretly delighted, with a hint of satisfaction on their faces.
The secret order from the palace was passed down layer by layer, and a team of well-trained royal guards quietly set out and rushed to the place of exile.
Shangguan Jue, who was in exile, refused to accept his fate and tried to escape everywhere. However, before he could escape, danger came and ended his life.
