Nangong Jun also turned his head with difficulty and looked outside the house through the window behind him, but his vision became increasingly blurred.

The sound of rain rustled in my ears, as if filling the entire world.

I could vaguely see the man holding the bow slowly putting down the bow in his hand and walking straight towards this side through the rain.

However, he could no longer see what the man looked like. Only a scar stood out strangely, making him particularly eye-catching.

At this moment, the man had already arrived in front of him. He suddenly reached out and grabbed his hair. With his other hand, he drew the sharp knife from his waist. Just like that, through the window, in front of Nangong Jun and everyone else, he cut off his head with one knife.

At this point, everyone finally came to their senses, and they were all filled with shock and anger.

"Jinyiwei, Xichang, what are you going to do?!"

Even the old man sitting on the upper hand couldn't help but open his eyes, staring directly at the man holding the bow, and said coldly: "The Lin family is also a noble family."

The man holding the bow had a cold expression on his rain-soaked face. He nodded slightly and said, "I know."

After a slight pause, he continued, "Can you avenge the murder of your father and the extermination of your clan?"

“…”

The old man was silent for a moment, then spoke again in a cold voice, "How can we trust the dying words of such a treacherous person?"

Lin Yuchen, the bow-wielding man, seemed to be lost in thought when he heard this. He then nodded and said, "Mr. Rui, your words make sense. Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Then he nodded again and said, "I will check it carefully when I get back."

After saying that, he turned around and left with the head in his hand.

Only a headless corpse was left, lying on the windowsill, blood flowed down the wall into the ground in the yard and mixed with the rainwater.

Finally it was diluted by more rain and almost disappeared.

The blood of one person cannot dye the rain red.

In a flash, all the Jinyiwei and guards in the yard withdrew, with Yu Huatian and Lin Yuchen walking at the end.

It was not until he was about to leave the courtyard that Yu Huatian suddenly remembered something. He stopped, turned around and asked, "I almost forgot. When I came here, His Majesty asked me to ask you all: Will the aristocratic families be in chaos?"

"Won't."

Duke Rui paused for a moment, then replied in a deep voice.

"No?"

Yu Huatian nodded and murmured something, not sure whether he was satisfied with the answer or disappointed.

Duke Rui then added, "The money and grain promised earlier will be delivered today."

The other people in the room paled slightly, but no one objected.

"That's Cao Xiong's responsibility and has nothing to do with me."

Yu Huatian said indifferently.

After saying this, he turned around and walked out without stopping, only to chuckle to himself, "I'd rather be a dog in peacetime than a man in troubled times. Why do some people always make the chaos in the world seem like it's someone else's business?"

Duke Rui and the others' expressions changed again upon hearing this. Suddenly, they heard a faint whisper from Yu Huatian, who had already disappeared, "But I really want to be a founding minister. Your Majesty probably thinks being a founding monarch would be more interesting, right?"

The sound gradually became inaudible.

Everyone in the room finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The expressions on everyone's face were both angry and frightened.

They had not expected that the emperor would be so powerful. While they were discussing something, the Jinyiwei and the barbarians suddenly descended from the sky and shot the most active representative of the Nangong family with an arrow. Then they cut off his head in front of them and took it away.

This scene is really terrifying.

Although nominally the boy from the Lin family was avenging his father, any discerning person could see that this was a warning from the emperor.

Moreover, the kid from the Lin family is so cruel and ruthless. The emperor now has another knife in his hand.

Moreover, this knife can be used at any time in the name of revenge for one's father.

Revenge for one's father is a morally right thing to do in this era.

Although this kind of name should not be used too often, otherwise the noble families would fight back at the risk of their lives, but in this situation, no one dared to jump like Nangong Jun.

Especially the Nangong family didn’t know how to react after learning about this.

However, no one present was in the mood to gloat at this time.

One of the family representatives, after realizing what was happening, immediately shouted, "Where are the guards? Where did all the guards go?"

The others also started cursing.

But their cries received no response.

"Bang!"

At this moment, Duke Rui suddenly knocked the ground with his cane. "What are you yelling about?"

Everyone stopped arguing after hearing this, but someone frowned and asked, "Lord Rui, what exactly does the young emperor mean by this?"

"Bang!"

Duke Rui struck the ground with his cane again and, before the man could finish, he coldly scolded him, "What little emperor? The emperor is the emperor, how can there be a little emperor?

From today on, I advise you all to show some respect to the Emperor."

"Your Excellency Rui is absolutely right. I made a mistake. But, Your Excellency Rui, what exactly does the Emperor mean by this?"

The man quickly bowed and accepted the instruction, but he still repeated the previous question.

"snort."

Duke Rui snorted coldly, his tone softening slightly, but still speaking in a serious tone, "This matter has nothing to do with the Emperor. It's just that the Lin family kid, eager for revenge, mistakenly listened to Cui Cen's evil words. Now that he has realized his mistake, let's put it aside."

“…”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but since no one present was truly stupid, they immediately understood what the old man meant.

This is just a fig leaf. Since the emperor has given us this fig leaf, no one should uncover it.
