Volume 1, Chapter 285: Chao Xiao’s choice is more public than private!

now!

The entire Nancheng Prefecture was filled with the three words "Shu Jian Hou".

The loud roar of the mountains seemed to shatter the clouds in the sky.

Echoing in the sky above Zhulu City.

Captain Song was in the lobby, feeling inexplicably excited and enthusiastic.

The same was true for the rest of the detectives.

Ye Tingmu clicked his lips. It was so cool to feel admired by so many people.

He suddenly began to understand those loyal people in history books.

Why would you rather die than surrender?

What they are fighting for is not just this false reputation that will last forever.

Maybe I can be such a person.

He pressed his hands towards the crowd.

The sound stopped immediately.

"My fellow citizens, from today onwards, in my Nancheng, officials and common people are equal, and there will no longer be any distinction between high and low. I will apply the laws of the Nine Provinces to bring justice to everyone."

"good....."

"If the Lord is still alive, the Lord Shujian is our Lord."

Ye Tingmu signaled Captain Song to clean up Chao Ping's body.

And let the victims leave one by one.

Maybe it's not enough.

He directly flipped through the cases that were to be heard in the government office today.

I plan to review a few of them.

At the same time, the news that Prince Wu was executed in court by Ye Tingmu spread rapidly in Zhulu City like the thick fog in the early morning.

People were shocked when they heard this.

It is unheard of that a Heavenly Marquis killed the future king, who was of the Chao clan.

But it happened.

Not only did he behead the king's son, he also sentenced the son of the Marquis of Zhenbei to death.

On the first day of Nancheng Shaoqing's appointment, his reputation spread far and wide after this battle.

The officials were all shocked when they heard this.

I sighed in my heart again, this person cannot be messed with.

Soon, the news spread to the temple, the palace, and the top of Tiandaoyuan.

The five elders of the temple looked solemn.

Although Ye Tingmu was the benefactor of the Fourth Prince, the other party wanted to execute two members of the Chao family in one breath. For the royal family, such a loss was huge.

There were originally not many people in the clan who were good at giving birth, so they had to rely on them to pass on the bloodline.

Now, two of them were killed by Ye Tingmu.

Regarding this matter.

The five people each held their own opinion.

The elders of the three clans said: "This Ye Tingmu is lawless. How can we kill a member of the clan casually?"

The elders of the four clans said, "That's right. He even said that the emperor and the nobles are guilty of the same crime as the common people. This is absurd."

The elder of the second clan said, "How can it be absurd? I think it is better to kill them. Chao Ping and Chao Qian deserved it. They relied on their bloodline of the God Clan and did not make progress. It would be fine, but they do evil all day long. How can we tolerate it? It will only bring trouble if they are kept alive."

The elders of the five tribes said, "I think what the second brother said is right. This is just a good opportunity to use this incident to sound a warning to the younger generation, so that they won't just eat, drink and have fun all day long. In a few decades, when we old guys are gone, we will still have to rely on them to protect this foundation."

The four people spoke sharply and the argument was extremely intense.

Neither gave in to the other.

At this time, the elder of the clan spoke up. He said calmly, "There's no need to argue anymore. Let's just leave it as it is. You should have heard it just now. That's the will of the people. Let the world judge right and wrong. This also serves as a good opportunity to see what Chao Xiao will do after losing the old Heavenly Master. If he makes a move, then we'll have a decisive battle in advance."

Seeing the elder of the clan speak.

Although the others were unwilling, they didn't say anything.

In the palace, Chao Tianque, who also received the news, frowned.

"It's only the first day, and you've already made such a big mistake for me. Lord Zhang, isn't the position you recommended inappropriate?"

Zhang Ruling wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. How could he know that Ye Tingmu was so tough? On his first day in office, he started with the royal family.

But on second thought, it was similar to his style. After all, this kid used to be in the Northern Maniacs, and it was said that he didn't even take the so-called king seriously.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what to say."

Chao Tianque smiled bitterly with helplessness.

He did not have much resistance to killing the royal family. After all, he sat on the throne by stepping on the blood of the royal family.

The fighting among royal families is nothing new.

He was just an official from another family, but he dared to kill the royal family in Zhulu City in front of so many people. This was the first time in Jiuzhou.

"Forget it, since he has been executed, then he has been executed. We should protect him if he should be. Someone, send Chu Ge, the commander of the Imperial Guard, to see me."

"promise!"

Seeing that the emperor was about to summon Chu Ge, Zhang Ruling asked curiously: "Your Majesty, what are you doing..."

He threw a handful of fish food towards Tianque and said nonchalantly, "King Wu secretly mobilized his troops some time ago and appeared outside Shuiyunjian. I just want to settle this account with him."

Zhang Ruling didn't say anything. He thought that Ye Tingmu's killing of King Wu's son might be related to this matter.

After all, with Ye Tingmu's ability, it is not surprising that he knows this matter.

At that time, King Wu followed orders from Wang Changsheng and indeed led a large army to Guoshuiyunjian.

Without being summoned, one is not allowed to lead troops into Zhuolu Prefecture. This is the rule that the emperor set for Wang Li.

Obviously King Wu broke this rule.

Chaotianque launched the attack at this time, firstly to protect Ye Tingmu, and secondly to trim the branches and leaves of the eldest prince, who was once a towering tree.

At this time in Tiandaoyuan.

Chao Xiao was still practicing his sword skills.

There was always a person standing beside him. This person was Zhang He, one of the nine great heavenly masters of Tiandao Academy.

"Your Highness, you have to take care of this matter. Ye Tingmu is clearly slapping you in the face. King Wu has always been loyal to you, and his son is dead now. If you don't take care of it, I'm afraid it will chill the Seventh King's heart."

He continued to swing his sword towards Xiao and stopped after a while.

He put the sword at his waist, took the handkerchief handed to him by the maid next to him, and wiped the sweat off his face.

"If the emperor breaks the law, he will be punished just like the common people. It seems that Ye Tingmu is not a person who only seeks power."

He sighed, his tone still so calm.

Then he looked at Zhang He with a smile on his lips.

"Master Zhang, Ye Tingmu did nothing wrong in this matter, why should we care?"

Zhang He was stunned. Is this right or wrong?

He spoke.

"Your Highness, in this world, there are only positions, not right or wrong. For us, he was wrong because he killed our people."

Chao Xiao heard this and quickly shook his head.

There was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"It's different. If someone else died, it would be a matter of stance, but the one who died was Chao Ping. He deserved death a hundred times for the things he did. We are fighting for the throne, but why should we care about things that benefit the Nine Provinces? It's good for him to die. As for the Seventh Prince, hehe..."

He chuckled, his eyes flashing with ferocity.

"Even without them, I can still take the throne."

"Your Highness, this..." Zhang He wanted to speak,

But he was interrupted directly by Chao Xiao.

"Uncle Zhang, there's no need to say more. I don't want to argue with Ye Tingmu about this matter. I think he's doing the right thing. I don't object to anything that benefits the people."

After saying that, he left, leaving Zhang He alone, sighing in the wind.

In Chao Xiao's worldview, Jiuzhou is his home, and Ye Tingmu is getting rid of the termites for this family.

He should be happy.

Maybe he and he are still enemies.

But at this moment, he couldn't help but admire Ye Tingmu.

Because he did today what Chao Xiao wanted to do but didn't dare to do.

"What a sight! Officials' red robes are stained with the blood of the common people. What a wonderful phrase! Everyone is equal. Interesting! If this could really be achieved, what a prosperous era would it usher in!"

He looked at the sky, and an inexplicable sadness appeared in his eyes.

He wondered why such a person was his enemy. It would be great if he was a friend.
