"Whoosh…"
Ji Wuye, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly stood up. There was a touch of fear in his anger.
"Ying Zheng, you…"
"Impudent, you are a disciple without a father or a ruler. How dare you call my name?”
"Boom…"
Before Ji Wuye could finish his words, Ying Zheng opened his mouth and interrupted him.
The magnificent aura surged like a raging volcano and smashed heavily on Ji Wuye's body.
"Bang…"
In an instant, Ji Wuye's expression changed drastically. He flew backward as if he had been hit by a heavy blow and fell to the ground with a bang.
"Pfft…"
Ji Wuye spat out a mouthful of blood. Upon closer inspection, there were even some pieces of internal organs mixed in.
"You can't…"
Ji Wuye's face was pale, and his eyes were filled with pleading. His desire to live made him want to escape from this hall.
However…
"Bang…"
Ji Wuye put his hands on the ground, but he couldn't get up no matter how hard he tried. He was like a pile of mud, lying paralyzed in the hall.
Ying Zheng had crushed all of Ji Wuye's muscles and bones with one strike. His so-called Iron Wall, a hard body technique, was not much stronger than a piece of paper under this casual strike.
"Weak."
"Your subject is here." Dun Ruo responded and went out.
"Drag him down and execute him by a thousand cuts.”
"Kill all those who commit crimes in the night.”
Ying Zheng's eyes were calm, but the content of his words shocked Ji Wuye to the extreme.
"I accept your orders." Dun Ruo acknowledged the order and waved his hand at the Black Ice Guard standing at the side.
Two Black Ice Guards walked over and dragged Ji Wuye out of the hall like a dead dog.
Ji Wuye opened his mouth wide and wanted to beg for mercy, but his internal injuries were too serious. His mouth was already filled with blood and he could not say a word.
Just like that, everyone in the hall watched as Ji Wuye was dragged out. Some were afraid, some vented their anger, and some rejoiced...
All living beings are like this.
"I, Han Fei, thank the King of Qin for eliminating Ji Wuye and returning a clear sky to the people of Xinzheng.”
In the hall, Han Fei bowed to Ying Zheng with gratitude.
"We thank the King of Qin."
Behind Han Fei, many Korean officials also congratulated him in unison.
"Alright, get up."
Ying Zheng said calmly, not caring about the reactions of the crowd at all.
"Now that we've finished talking about Ji Wuye, it's time to talk about everyone.”
"Ji Wuye's power is overwhelming and his forces are scattered all over Korea. I've even heard of his name in Xianyang.”
"This is enough to show how rotten the Korean court is.”
"Korea has been destroyed, but the sins of the past will not disappear with the wind.”
"Now, I'll give you a chance. Those who used to follow Ji Wuye to prey on the people, step forward and plead guilty.”
Sitting on the throne, Ying Zheng spoke indifferently, his cold voice echoing in the hall.
In an instant, many figures in the crowd turned pale. They looked around and hesitated.
"Your Majesty, I have sinned. Please punish me.”
Suddenly, a middle-aged man gritted his teeth, walked out, and knelt on the ground.
Ying Zheng looked at Dunrou.
"Gu Zhou, from Yangzhai. Han Wangan joined Ji Wuye three years ago. He was recommended by Ji Wuye and was in charge of the national treasury's money and grain. He also benefited a lot for Ji Wuye.”
"In just a few years, the Gu family's assets have increased by nearly a hundred times.”
"Three years ago…"
Dun Ruo spoke in a clear voice and recounted Gu Zhou's past clearly.
"My family property is confiscated, and I have to serve three years of hard labor.”
Ying Zheng opened his mouth and decided on Gu Zhou's punishment.
However, this was already a very light punishment in his eyes, but it made Gu Zhou's expression change drastically. He knelt down and begged for mercy.
"My King, please show mercy…"
He thought that if he stood out first, he might be able to be exonerated. At most, he would take off his official robe.
Who would have thought that Ying Zheng's punishment would be so severe?
All his property had been confiscated, and he himself had to serve three years of labor. If he was not careful, he would probably die from labor.
Gu Zhou kept begging for mercy, but he couldn't change the outcome. Soon, two guards pulled him out.
Seeing his ending, the officials in the hall who were about to step out stopped in their tracks.
The consequences of confessing were too heavy for them to bear.
Since that was the case, he might as well take a gamble.
The King of Qin, Ying Zheng, could not possibly know the information of everyone, right?
"Are there any more?"
Seated on the throne, Ying Zheng seemed to have not sensed the strange atmosphere in the hall as he continued to ask.
However, this time, no one stood up.
In the crowd, Han Fei shook his head and sighed.
"Very good."
Ying Zheng suddenly laughed. He looked at all the civil and military officials like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
"Ink Crow."
"Sou…"
"Mo Ya greets Your Majesty."
A dark shadow flew in from outside the palace, bowing to Ying Zheng.
"Roll call."
"All Imperial Guards, listen up. In a while, those whose names are called by Mo Ya will all be locked up in prison and dealt with strictly according to the law.”
"We will obey."
Mo Ya and the guards standing around the hall agreed.
"Peng Gao, Wen Ju, Yin Yuande…"
One name after another was blurted out from Mo Ya's mouth. In the main hall, the bodies of the officials who were called out went limp and instantly collapsed to the ground.
Around them, the imperial guards stepped forward and dragged these people out of the hall.
Soon, more than half of the Korean civil and military departments were empty.
No one had expected that Ying Zheng would actually take them all down.
In the eyes of this King of Qin, there seemed to be only the rule of law. There was no such thing as the law not punishing the masses or giving favors to surrender generals.
Not long after, Mo Ya's voice finally stopped.
At this moment, less than one-third of the officials were still standing in the hall.
"The rest of you are not innocent, but your mistakes have not reached the point of punishment.”
"Therefore, strictly speaking, you can be considered qualified officials.”
"This matter is temporarily over."
Ying Zheng looked at the expressions on the faces of the remaining people, who looked as if they had just survived a disaster, and said.
"Next is the matter of governing the Land of Korea.”
"Li Si, Bai Teng."
"Your subject is here."
Li Si and Bai Teng, who had been pondering over Ying Zheng's purpose, hurriedly walked out.
"From today onwards, Xinzheng will be changed to Yingchuan Prefecture. Li Si will be the governor of Yingchuan Prefecture, and Bai Teng will be conferred the title of Zuo Shu Chang as Nanyang County Governor.”
"Next, you will have to implement the Qin laws in Nanyang and Yingchuan, strictly enforce the rule of law.”
"At the same time, check the fields, conduct a general population survey, remake the Yellow Book, and restore the prosperity of the Land of Korea.”
"For the missing officials, I have already transferred hundreds of scholars from Xianyang. When they arrive, you can arrange for them directly.”
"I accept your orders."
Li Si was extremely excited. He did not expect to reach the heavens in one step.
Bai Teng was very surprised, but he did not say anything.
In fact, he had been taking care of Nanyang's political affairs all these years.
Moreover, in history, he was once the internal history of the Qin country, which was the Xianyang County Governor. There was no need to mention his talent.
Ying Zheng was also aware of this, which was why he was assured to let him be the Prefectural Governor.
As for the original 100,000-strong Korean army, they were naturally scattered again.
Ying Zheng would not sit idly by and watch such a force that was trying to join the alliance.
"Meng Wu."
"I'm here."
Meng Wu stepped forward.
"Next, you will lead 300,000 troops to guard the land of Korea and guard against the surrounding countries.”Ying Zheng instructed.
"This lowly subject accepts your orders." Meng Wu cupped his hands and accepted the order.
"Lastly, the Han Clan."
Ying Zheng waved his hand, gesturing for Meng Wu to step back. Then, he turned his gaze to Han Yu.
Instantly, Han Yu's heart skipped a beat and he became a little nervous.
Who knew what would happen to the Han Clan?
