I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

"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.

Zhang Xianhuai slowly stood up, his posture as straight as a pine tree. His cold eyes swept across the Wang family members around him like lightning.

This made the Wang family members who usually acted arrogantly shudder.

"Who's Wang Yi? Stand up and show this commander."

His low voice echoed in this small room

When Wang Yi heard Zhang Xianhuai calling out Wang Yi's name, he felt like his heart had stopped beating for a moment.

Before Wang Yi could come out to admit it, the other members of the Wang family, their gazes filled with complex emotions, stared at him like sharp arrows.

Wang Yi felt like a thorn in his side. He gritted his teeth and reluctantly agreed. His voice was trembling, but he tried to appear calm. "Commander, I am Wang Yi."
