Lu Si's subordinates all felt a chill in their hearts!
Ying Yue!
Great Qin's Empress!
No matter how long she could stay in this position, she would still be Great Qin's ruler.
Just the fact that they had worked with Lu Si to force Ying Yue to tamper with the posthumous edict and steal the Supreme Being Bone was enough to wipe out their entire family.
"If you don't tell me, I will destroy your entire family.”
"Not only will your family die, but your collateral relatives will also be demoted to slavery. They will curse you for generations to come, so that you will never be able to rest in peace.”
"If you say it, only you will die. Your families will enjoy peace under my protection.”
"After all, they are still my subjects!”
"Moreover, if you can prove that you have enough value, I might spare your lives!”
Ying Yue had been nurtured by the previous emperor since she was young. Not only did she cultivate the martial path, but she also learned the path of the emperor.
If not for the fact that she was multitasking, with the potential of the Supreme Being Bone, her current cultivation would definitely not be at the Zongshi realm!
Under the might of the Emperor, all the Grandmasters under Lu Si's command felt like they had lost their parents.
"What does Your Majesty want to ask?"
In the end, someone couldn't help but speak.
This person was called Zhao Lv, originally a disciple of Lu Si and a Fifth Rank official. He was Lu Si's right-hand man, but now he couldn't help but speak.
"Whether the officials under Marquis Wu Zong form cliques for personal gain or take bribes, as long as it's useful information, I want it all!”
Ying Yue said calmly," I'll still say the same thing. Prove your value. If you're worth enough, you can live!”
"Good! I'll tell you!"
"I'll say it too!"
"Your Majesty, please give me a chance!”
With Zhao Lui taking the lead, the others no longer hesitated. They immediately kowtowed like pounding garlic, afraid that if they were too late, they would never have a chance again!
"Give them ink, paper, and inkstone. I want to see how many things Wu Zonghou has done behind their backs!”
Ying Yue nodded her head in satisfaction and asked the guards to bring them away.
The Heavenly Prison was Yin Death Region, and Ying Yue was the empress, so she naturally wouldn't stay for long. After the interrogation, she returned to Xianyang Palace to read the memorials.
Black Qi and Yun Xi did not leave.
Especially when Hei Qi saw Ying Yue's back as she left, a hint of surprise flashed across his old eyes!
His methods were very vicious!
If Ying Yue was a man, his future achievements would probably be above the previous emperor.
Unfortunately, it was a woman. It would not be so easy to sit on the throne.
……
"The Cloud King seems to be very interested in the felons in the imperial prison!”
Hei Qi shook his head.
Then, he noticed that Yun Xi was flipping through the imperial prison register after returning from the depths of the imperial prison.
A felon in the imperial prison!
Those who were qualified to be imprisoned in the Heaven Prison were all people with rich and noble statuses!
Especially in the depths of the imperial prison, there were many powerful fellows.
"It is very interesting!"
Yun Xi said with a faint smile.
"Interesting?"
Black Qi was stunned. What was so interesting about this?
"For example, this Xiang Zhao!"
Yun Xi pointed at a name on the roster.
"It's him?"
Black Qi frowned. He had heard of this name before.
Xiang Zhao!
Peak Grandmaster!
He was originally a fierce general under the command of the Northern General, but he was thrown into the imperial prison for disobeying military orders!
"General Hei Qi, do you know why Xiang Zhao was thrown into the imperial prison?”
Yun Xi asked thoughtfully.
"I know a thing or two!"
Hei Qi pondered for a moment and said," Three years ago, the Northern General led his army to fight against the Northern Yan at Mount Longwu. Xiang Zhao was responsible for escorting the spoils of war back. However, on the way back, he encountered the refugees of Great Qin. He secretly used a portion of the spoils of war to help the refugees. He was charged with disobeying military orders and using the spoils of war for his own use!”
Back then, this matter had caused a huge commotion!
There were also some rumors in the dark that Xiang Zhao had a high reputation in the Northern Army back then, and that Xiang Zhao did not get along with the son of the Northern General!
In any case, there were many explanations. Back then, Hei Qi had even begged the former emperor for personal reasons.
Unfortunately, military law was not child's play. Although Xiang Zhao was spared the death penalty, he was also thrown into the imperial prison.
"Get Xiang Zhao to see me!"
Yun Xi smiled when she heard this.
"Yes, sir!"
Yun Xi gave the order. The jailer did not even dare to hesitate and hurriedly went down to suppress the person!
……
Not long after, a burly man with a rough appearance was brought up by the jailer. Even though he was shackled, he still emitted a domineering aura!
"Xiang Zhao greets General Hei Qi!"
Xiang Zhao's hair was disheveled and his eyes were filled with a fierce light. However, when he saw Hei Qi, his body involuntarily trembled and he hurriedly bowed!
Although he was not happy about being imprisoned, Hei Qi had saved his life, so he had no choice but to respect him.
"Yes!"
Hei Qi nodded slightly.
Yun Xi also looked at Xiang Zhao with some approval in her heart.
Martial arts grandmaster!
After being imprisoned for three years, Xiang Zhao's cultivation did not retreat but advanced instead!
He had suddenly broken through to the martial arts grandmaster realm.
Xiang Zhao's martial arts talent could be called monstrous!
One had to know that the shackles on Xiang Zhao's body were made of special materials that could suppress the cultivation of martial arts experts!
It was originally made to suppress martial arts experts who were thrown into the imperial prison.
For Xiang Zhao to be able to break through a major realm under such conditions and reach the realm of martial arts great grandmaster, one could imagine how shocking his martial arts talent was!
"May I know why General Hei Qi wants to see Xiang Zhao?”
Xiang Zhao also noticed Yun Xi.
For some reason, he felt a chill run down his spine when he faced this young man in front of him!
It was as if he was facing a creature of a higher status than himself!
"I'm not the one who wants to see you."
"It's the Cloud King!"
Hei Qi said indifferently.
He was also curious as to why Yunxi wanted to meet Xiang Zhao.
"Cloud King? General Hei Qi, you said he was the Cloud King?”
Despite Xiang Zhao's mental fortitude, when he heard the words " Cloud King," his eyes still widened as he looked at Yun Xi in disbelief.
Cloud King!
He was more than a hundred years old, but he actually looked younger than him?
"It's this king!"
Yun Xi smiled faintly and said," If this king gives you a chance to leave this place, are you willing?”
"I can still leave this place?"
Xiang Zhao looked at Yun Xi in surprise. Even Hei Qi was a little puzzled. What was the Cloud King trying to do?
"That's right!"
"This King plans to establish a new department in Great Qin called the Factory Guards. The Factory Guards will only listen to This King!”
"If the civil and military officials can't do it, the factory guards will do it!”
"If the civil and military officials can't solve the case, the factory guards will!”
"I want Great Qin, from the civil and military marquises to the wealthy merchants, to be under the supervision of the factory guards!”
"You!"
"Is it possible?"
Yun Xi's words were like thunder, exploding in Xiang Zhao and Hei Qi's minds.
It made Hei Qi, this supreme grandmaster, unable to help but be dumbfounded!
