Li Shi Min was the Emperor of the Great Tang and had killed countless people.
The blood of the Black Tortoise Sect had not dried up yet.
At this moment, his voice rang out in the hall like a bell, shocking the soul. His eyes seemed to hide a sea of blood, a mountain of blades, and a mountain of bones.
Anyone who looked at it would feel terrified. Cowards might be scared to death.
However, Qin Huaiyu just stood there, tall and straight like a green mountain. He reached out and pushed away his visor, saying,"Your Majesty, there are still thirteen people in the hall.”
"I can point them out for you one by one.”
As Qin Huaiyu spoke, he stretched out a finger and pointed at the officials behind him. At this moment, it was as if this finger was like a sharp sword that pierced into their foreheads.
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
Three sounds of falling to the ground rang out, and a large area instantly became empty around them, as if they were afraid of being implicated by them.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life."
"Imperial Censor Qin, you've been wrongly accused."
After the three of them fell to the ground, their faces no longer swelled up as they knelt down and begged for mercy.
Li Shi Min's face was filled with rage as he said,"Where are the Golden Guards? Get them out. Don't dirty my Taiji Palace.”
"It seems that the Great Tang is truly beyond cure. This Emperor wants to see how many more parasites there are.”
"Qin Huaiyu, zhen wants to see how many people will kneel down when you point them out one by one, and who is manipulating them behind the scenes.”
As Li Shi Min spoke, he placed the heavy burden on Qin Huaiyu.
Qin Shubao stood at the bottom, a trace of worry appearing in his eyes.
Zhangsun Wuji, Xiao Yu, and the others couldn't bear to see this. If they hadn't done nothing, how could they have let a Tang youth face such a situation? He had already been caught red-handed, yet the Emperor was still so restrained.
They would die if they insulted their master, but they could only endure the humiliation they were facing now.
For the Great Tang, for His Majesty!
Qin Huaiyu cupped his hands and bowed. He said without hesitation,"I will obey."
Qin Huaiyu turned around as if he did not know that by pointing out these people today, he had truly offended the Five Families and Seven Wangs, the behemoths that had occupied the Great Tang for a thousand years.
No matter how dynasties changed, they still existed on this land. They had lived longer than the emperor, so their ambitions were born in this era.
They made Xiao Yu, a civil official who ruled the world, endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens. They made Li Jing, Qin Shubao, and Yuchi Gong back off. They made Li Shimin, the emperor of the ages, like a imprisoned dragon. The Five Families and Seven Wangs were like chains that locked the real dragon. They pressed Li Shimin firmly on the throne as if everything was as they wished.
However, they had met Qin Huaiyu, a Qin Huaiyu who dared to be the first in the world!
Qin Huaiyu's gaze was like a knife and sword under his mask. He took a step forward and said,""Cui Qingyuan, embezzled 13,000 strings of money, killed a family of five commoners, and sold three officials.”
Plop--
Cui Qingyuan knelt on the ground, his body trembling.
Qin Huaiyu took another step forward. His boots seemed to be knocking on their hearts.
"Cui Ningzhi was corrupt for 5,600 strings. He had only been an official for three years and his salary was meager. However, he bought three mansions in Chang 'an.”
Plop--
Among the civil officials, another person knelt on the ground, his eyes lost. He did not know why he was so careful when he did things, but he was still discovered.
Qin Huaiyu's footsteps had been moving from the moment he lifted his foot to the moment he landed.
Confess one step at a time.
" Cui Qingshi, Left Guard Officer of the capital, 10,000 strings confiscated…"
"Zheng Ze, 7,000 strings of money, 13 concubines, and more than 60 vengeful souls…"
"Wang Tiancheng…"
"Cui Ling…"
“……”
Qin Huaiyu took a total of ten steps. Among the civil officials and generals, those who knelt on the ground all admitted their crimes. Not a single one of them dared to beg for mercy. Looking at Qin Huaiyu's back, it was as if they were looking at the King of Hell.
Qin Huaiyu's lips curled into a smile as he looked provocatively at the other officials of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs.
He was waiting, waiting for someone to step forward.
Unfortunately, the court was deathly silent.
Li Shi Min waved his sleeves and placed his hands behind his back. He looked at one of them and said,"Cui Zhengdao, your Cui family has six people who committed such a great crime. I want to ask you, how should we deal with them?”
Cui Zhengdao was called out by Li Shimin.
Qin Huaiyu's gaze followed him in an instant. All the information about Cui Zhengdao appeared in his mind. After understanding it, his gaze became serious.
This person actually had no corruption, let alone murder cases. He could be said to be extremely clean, but such a person was even more dangerous.
Cui Qingyuan and the others who were kneeling on the ground looked at Cui Zhengdao as if they had found their backbone. They didn't want to die. Even if they went to prison, they might still have a chance to come out alive.
It was like a drowning person suddenly grabbing onto a life-saving straw.
Cui Zhengdao seemed to have noticed Qin Huaiyu's gaze. He smiled apologetically at Qin Huaiyu and walked out of the civil officials with a jade board in his hand. He said coldly,""Your Majesty, in my opinion, Imperial Censor Qin has already listed out the crimes, crimes, and evidence clearly, so I have nothing to say.”
"My Cui family has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is inevitable that there will be some pests. Today, I still have to thank Your Majesty and Imperial Censor Qin for personally helping me deal with it.”
"Today, on behalf of the Cui family, this humble subject pleads Your Majesty not to be merciful to these sinful people. You must punish them severely.”
Cui Zhengdao seemed to be like his name, incomparably righteous.
Hearing this, Li Shiming also thought that Cui Clan had given in to him because of what happened today.
He looked at Cui Zhengdao and said,""Minister Cui, your words are polite."
"But since these people are from your Cui family, tell me how you want to deal with them.”
Cui Zhengdao held the jade board in his hand, but a devilish smile appeared on his respectful face. He raised his head and said,""Your Majesty, in my opinion, these people should all be executed immediately.”
"Immediately execute them all?" Li Shimin was surprised. He thought Cui Zhengdao would give in, but he didn't expect Cui Zhengdao to cooperate with him.
All of them were beheaded. This was a slap to the faces of the five surnames and seven Wangs.
Those members of Cui Clan had their hopes crushed by their own family members. They all felt that they had been abandoned and became more terrified and helpless.
"Cui Zhengdao, you will die a horrible death."
"We're all doing this for the clan. The clan can't treat me like this.”
"I don't want to die. I want to live. How many concubines do I have to marry?”
"Righteous Dao, save me. I'm your biological uncle. Please, Your Majesty, I won't dare to do it again.”
"I'm from the Wang Family. The Family Head will definitely save me. Cui Zhengdao, what right do you have to punish me?”
Cui Zhengdao was the one who gave them a life-saving straw, but he kicked them hard at this moment, leaving them with no way out. He was smiling, but his heart was filled with killing intent.
His next sentence shocked everyone.
"Your Majesty, this humble subject feels that if you want to behead him, it would be best to do so in the Black Tortoise Sect!”
