All those involved in the pension case shall be executed to the ninth degree of kinship

Qin Xiao's voice exploded like thunder in everyone's ears!

No sensational words, no false promises.

Only one sentence!

He, Qin Xiao, the Emperor of the Great Qin, would seek justice for everyone!

Kill all those who bullied and persecuted you!

But just such simple words made the eyes of countless Beiliang veterans present moist.

"We... kowtow to Your Majesty!"

"Long live the Emperor, long live, long long live!"

More than a hundred thousand people knelt down in unison.

They didn't want anything, except revenge!

Three years of oppression, three years of hellish torture!

Today, Qin Xiao's arrival finally made them see hope!

They looked up at Qin Xiao, that slender figure, the sunlight sprinkled on the dragon robe, making him look even more tall and straight!

It was like a ray of dawn, illuminating the dark hell of everyone!

"Your Majesty is here, we... we can finally avenge our dead compatriots!"

Some old men cried uncontrollably.

Their closest relatives, their comrades-in-arms, those who resisted the earliest, had already died under the violent suppression of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.

This hatred was engraved in the heart and penetrated deep into the marrow!

Qin Xiao clenched his fists, his eyes gradually dyed scarlet, and intense killing intent spewed out!

Centered on him, spider web-like traces cracked on the ground!

"Zhou Yuanhu!"

Qin Xiao walked step by step towards Zhou Yuanhu, who was slumped on the ground.

The terrifying killing intent swept towards him overwhelmingly!

Zhou Yuanhu felt the extreme pressure, and it was extremely difficult to even stand up, and his whole body couldn't stop trembling!

"Qin... Qin Xiao, you can't kill me!"

"I am Qin Yu's biological father. If you kill me, Yu'er will absolutely not let you go!"

His crotch was already completely wet.

His eyes were fearful, and his whole body was limp on the ground, struggling to crawl backwards with his hands.

While yelling, he verbally threatened Qin Xiao.

"Qin Yu?" A bloody smile appeared on the corner of Qin Xiao's mouth. "What kind of thing is he!"

Seeing that Qin Xiao showed no fear, Zhou Yuanhu finally couldn't hold on anymore.

"Yu'er has an army of half a million! Aren't you afraid that he will destroy you!"

Qin Xiao came to Zhou Yuanhu, picked him up with one hand, and choked his neck tightly.

"In my eyes, he used to be an ant, and he still is now."

"Don't worry, I'll kill you first, and soon your family will be reunited!"

Zhou Yuanhu's feet left the ground, his face flushed, veins bulged on his forehead, and he struggled frantically, but it was still to no avail.

"No... don't..."

Crack!

The sound of bone fragmentation exploded one after another!

"Uh... ah..."

"I was wrong... let me go... please..."

Zhou Yuanhu's eyes turned white, and he let out a non-human cry.

Accompanied by the last crisp sound, Zhou Yuanhu's neck was abruptly broken by Qin Xiao!

His head rolled down like a ball and fell at Qin Xiao's feet.

Qin Xiao threw Zhou Yuanhu's body away, turned his head and ordered Lu Fengxian:

"Drag his body out and feed it to the dogs!"

"Yes!"

Lu Fengxian cupped his fists to take the order, his eyes flashing with blazing light!

So satisfying!

Such decisive killing, worthy of being His Majesty!

However, Lu Fengxian still felt that something was missing.

But soon, Qin Xiao's voice came again.

"Kill all these monks of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple."

"They are an eyesore to me."

Qin Xiao lightly swept his eyes over the monk soldiers of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple kneeling on the ground, and issued an extremely cold and cruel order!

As if, in his eyes, thousands of people were like grass and mustard!

"Run! Run!"

These monk soldiers fled in a panic.

Qin Xiao's eyes were cold, and he raised his hand and waved it.

"Kill!"

Soon, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry was dispatched!

Ten thousand Great Snow Dragon Cavalry stood with their long swords horizontally and launched a charge!

They turned into a torrent of iron armor and rushed past Qin Xiao endlessly!

The earth was shaking, and the long swords emitted a dark cold light under the reflection of the sun!

"Cavalry! It's heavy cavalry! Run!"

The monk soldiers turned pale with fright and fled for their lives.

But how could they outrun the heavy cavalry.

One after another, monk soldiers were trampled into a mass of flesh and mud!

The scene was so bloody and cruel!

The wails were endless.

Qin Xiao was like a monarch bathed in blood, his eyes plain to the extreme.

[Ding!]

As the last monk soldier was beheaded by a long sword, the system's prompt sound followed.

[Congratulations to the host for completing choice one, killing all the scoundrels! Reward: Ten thousand Lishan Prisoner Army!]

[Congratulations to the host for completing choice two, finding out the mastermind behind the embezzlement of military pay, and beheading him! Reward: Ten thousand Brocade Guards!]

Qin Xiao was startled.

He suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked Zhou Yuanhu about the embezzlement of military expenses, and directly killed the other party.

But...

Since the system task has been completed and Zhou Yuanhu is dead, it doesn't matter.

Qin Xiao waved his hand.

"System, summon ten thousand Brocade Guards!"

[Ding! Brocade Guards are being deployed!]

In an instant.

Whoosh!

A series of footsteps came from the street not far away.

A large group of people and horses were galloping.

The scene that came into view was flying fish suits, embroidered spring swords, and an army that obeyed orders and prohibitions.

Their appearance caused quite a stir.

"Tiger back and bear waist, mantis legs, what an elite troop! Even if placed in Beiliang, they are all elites!"

Jia Xu, who followed Qin Xiao, showed surprise in his eyes.

He had never seen this army before.

Fierce eyes, cruel official-like expressions, each one was as cold as a machine!

The evil aura exuding from their bodies made everyone feel uneasy.

"Friend or foe?"

Lu Fengxian had already grasped the Heaven Piercing Halberd.

As long as the situation was not right, he would strike at any time!

But what everyone didn't expect was that the ten thousand Brocade Guards came to Qin Xiao.

They actually knelt straight on one knee.

"Brocade Guards pay respects to Your Majesty!"

"Willing to be the sword in Your Majesty's hand, cut down all the bad officials in the world!"

The four Brocade Guards wearing hundred-beast black armor at the head looked at Qin Xiao with fanatical eyes.

"Commander of Brocade Guards, Azure Dragon!"

"White Tiger!"

"Vermilion Bird!"

"Black Tortoise!"

"Kowtow to Your Majesty!"

The four of them exuded a sense of oppression, kneeling on one knee, smashing their right fists on the ground, and their voices were sonorous and powerful, reaching the sky.

"Rise."

Qin Xiao raised his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Whoosh!

The sound of armor friction sounded one after another.

Rows of Brocade Guards stood straight, with their hands on the embroidered spring swords, waiting for Qin Xiao's order.

Qin Xiao took a step forward, scanned the Brocade Guards, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Listen to my order!"

"From today on, the Brocade Guards belong to me, reaching the heavens directly, inspecting the civil and military officials on my behalf, and can kill first and report later!"

"Now, I issue the first order to you, which is to arrest the officials involved in the Beiliang pension silver matter, exterminate their families, and implicate nine generations!"

These people, daring to embezzle the pension money of Beiliang.

Qin Xiao would not let a single one of them go!

Every penny of this silver was the blood of the soldiers of Beiliang!

Whoever dared to stretch out their claws, their nine generations would be killed!

"Yes!"

The four commanders of the Brocade Guards cupped their fists.

Then, the four of them led the ten thousand Brocade Guards away proudly.

And this time, the fangs of the Embroidered Uniform Guard would strike terror into the hearts of every civil and military official in the imperial court!

Execute first, report later, authorized by imperial power—what immense authority this is!

Cai Kun's expression changed rapidly upon witnessing this scene.

His face was as ugly as if he had just lost his own mother.

Spying on the officials on behalf of Qin Xiao, and with the power to execute first and report later... he feared the entire court would be thrown into absolute turmoil!

Cai Kun had a dark premonition. This time, many people were going to die!

Rivers of blood might even wash over the entire imperial court!

Qin Xiao paid no mind to the complicated gazes of the crowd. Instead, he turned to look at the veteran soldiers of Northern Liang.

You are all heroes who once followed me to conquer the world! Men of iron resolve who bled for our country! I will absolutely never mistreat my heroes!

Qin Xiao did not just say it.

He actually did it.

He immediately exempted everyone in the Northern Liang military district compound from their land taxes.

Furthermore, he distributed the land that had been seized by the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple back to the common people.

He even dispatched men to transport bags of rice directly to the Northern Liang military district.

This moved the long-suffering Northern Liang veterans to tears.

They kowtowed to Qin Xiao endlessly.

The elderly even pulled their entire families down to kneel, refusing to rise for a long time.

If not for Qin Xiao's arrival, many of them would likely have died today.

And for the rest of their lives, they would have been forced to live under a purgatory-like torment!

Qin Xiao gently patted the little beggar Zhang Qianqian's head.

It is all over now. Live a good life. If you learn to read and write in the future, you too can enter the court as an official.

Zhang Qianqian nodded vigorously, tears welling in her eyes, and choked out her words.

Your Majesty, thank you!

You are a good emperor! Thank you for saving everyone!

Qin Xiao shook his head with a soft chuckle, his large hand resting on Zhang Qianqian's head, stroking it gently.

However, deep within his eyes, a terrifying murderous intent still lingered!

Was it all over?

No!

Not yet!

The true culprit, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, had yet to be destroyed!

Of course, Qin Xiao would not drag these innocent people into it.

Now that the pension issue was resolved, all that remained was to purge that group of scum!

As for the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, Qin Xiao planned to deal with them personally!

Calculating the time, Qin Rushuang and Shen Han should be performing their wedding bows to heaven and earth right now. I suppose I should go take a look.

Qin Rushuang, didn't you want to marry Shen Han? Then I will let you see the true, ugly face of the man you would rather die than not marry!
