Are You Unconvinced? What right do you have to be unconvinced!
In the side hall of the Grand Governor's Mansion.
No one had expected that the first thing Li Ke said would be this.
His words were like a knife that stabbed into everyone's chests, making everyone feel their breathing stop and their faces instantly turn pale.
Some of them were still calm, but they were sweating profusely.
However, some people were already trembling all over.
In the Yizhou officialdom, how many people had clean hands?
After all, if he wanted to make a name for himself in the Yizhou officialdom, he would have to show filial piety to Member Yang.
However, what could he use to show his respect? Wasn't it just trying to get money from the commoners?
Therefore, anyone who had the intention to climb up would have dirty hands.
Li Ke saw this and said this.
After saying that, he ignored everyone else and picked up the teacup again expressionlessly, continuing to taste the tea that belonged to the ancient times.
The officials carefully looked at Li Ke, trying to find some traces on his face. However, to their disappointment, Li Ke's face did not reveal any expression.
This made them completely unaware of what Li Ke was thinking!
Did Li Ke already know about their crimes? Or was he lying to them?
If he confessed, would he die like Member Yang and the others?
But if he didn't admit it, could he really escape this calamity?
They were very hesitant.
However, they also knew that there were two paths in front of them. One path led to life, and the other led to death!
However, they did not know which path was life and which path was death.
Time passed quickly in this oppressive and murderous atmosphere.
As the time approached, the sweat on the officials 'faces increased.
Finally, at the next moment, some people could not withstand the pressure and knelt down.
Some people were still gritting their teeth, their eyes shining.
"Idiot, he's obviously lying to us. He's only been in Yizhou for a few days, so how could he know about us? If he confesses now, he's simply handing over all his wealth.”
Some of the officials looked at the kneeling officials with disdain in their eyes. In their opinion, confessing was simply a stupid act.
Just like that, 15 minutes passed quickly.
Li Ke put down his teacup again. He glanced down and saw twelve people kneeling down and twenty people standing.
Li Ke couldn't be bothered to say any nonsense and said directly,"Men!"
Han Lincheng quickly strode over and cupped his fists."I'm here!"
Li Ke took out the account book he found in Member Yang's mansion and threw it to Han Lincheng."According to the names on the account book, those who have names, those who stand will take off their official robes and hats and be detained in prison. Those who kneel will be demoted by one rank and remain behind for investigation!”
"Yes, sir!"
Han Lincheng stood up straight and flipped open the account book. His gaze swept across the officials with an extremely cold expression.
The officials who were still standing felt their hearts tremble when Han Lincheng's gaze swept over them.
The faces of the people who were laughing at the kneeling people instantly turned pale.
An aura of despair filled the hearts of many people.
Han Lincheng ignored them and said directly,"Zhao Yang, Zhenguan three years ago, bribed member Yang with ten thousand taels of silver. Take him away!"
"He Chengxu, in the fifth year of Zhenguan, bribed Member Yang with eight thousand taels of silver. Take him away!”
"Zhu Lun…"
As Han Chenglin's voice rang out, the faces of every official who was called out by him instantly turned into despair.
Then, the soldiers quickly walked over, took off their official hats and uniforms, and quickly pulled them out.
Begging for mercy and regretful voices rang out continuously.
However, Li Ke's expression didn't change at all.
As for the officials, they were all trembling and sweating profusely. No one dared to say a word.
Just like that, Han Lincheng finally stopped after he read out the last name,"Wang Xu."
At this moment, there were only six people left standing in the hall!
"I'm not convinced! I'm not convinced! I am a fifth-grade official of the imperial court. Even if I am sentenced, it must be judged by the Supreme Court and the Imperial Censorate at the same time. What right do you have to remove me from my post? I refuse to accept this!”
Wang Xu was the highest-ranking official among these officials. When she was stripped of her official uniform by the prefecture soldiers, she had been resisting and was very uncooperative.
He glared at Li Ke, his expression filled with unwillingness.
When Li Ke heard this, he finally made a move.
He looked at Wang Xu and narrowed his eyes slightly. The aura around his entire body surged at this moment.
He did not use the Emperor Pressure technique, but even so, the aura he had accumulated during this period of time was enough to suppress Wang Xu's heart.
Li Ke stared at Wang Xu and said indifferently,"Do you know what my father said before I came to Yizhou?”
"He told me that I can make full decisions in Yizhou! For all officials, I can make a report after they are appointed or dismissed…Oh, my father also said that I have the right to act first before reporting. There is no one in Yizhou that I can't kill, so…you're not convinced? What right do you have to be unconvinced!"
Suddenly, Li Ke's expression turned cold!
He suddenly slammed the table, and a loud bang was heard. It shook everyone's hearts.
Li Ke suddenly snapped,"When you were corrupt, did you ever refuse to accept it?" Why didn't you refuse to accept it when you gained benefits from the people?”
"Are you not convinced with this king now? What right do you have to be unconvinced!"
Li Ke waved his hand and said directly,"Cut off his tongue for this king, then take him to the dungeon and investigate him strictly!”
