Emperor Ling of Han was the last powerful emperor of the Han Dynasty, a figure who could have altered the course of history, yet he became the root cause of the empire's collapse.
Fate ha...
"Heh~, this Yang Qiu is truly decisive and fearless..."
Looking at the memorial presented by Yang Qiu, which actually requested the arrest of Shangshu Ling Yin Xun, Cao Jie Wang Fu, and others, Liu Hong couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.
"Zhang Rang, reject this memorial and return it to Yang Qiu!"
"promise!"
Upon seeing his memorial rejected, Yang Qiu frowned deeply and glared hatefully at Zhang Rang. He believed that Zhang Rang must have bewitched the emperor, which was why he had not agreed to his opinion.
"Alright, it's time for me to go back and report to His Majesty!"
Feeling somewhat uncomfortable under Yang Qiu's gaze, Zhang Rang fled as if his life depended on it. He was genuinely afraid that Yang Qiu would seize the opportunity to arrest and torture him, something Yang Qiu had done before.
"Hmph~ I'll arrest you sooner or later and let you taste the bitterness of torture instruments." Yang Qiu sneered as he watched Zhang Rang's departing figure.
Although Yang Qiu's extensive arrests aroused public dissatisfaction, he was not afraid at all. As long as he was not maliciously framing others, and with Li Ying and Chen Fan supporting him, Yang Qiu could act without any scruples.
If someone falls into Yang Qiu's hands, it's only half their life if he shows them mercy.
Seeing this, the powerful families in Luoyang and the surrounding areas also began to restrain their own members.
For a time, the corruption in the entire court was curbed, and even those playboy sons who spent their days flying hawks and riding horses became much more restrained, fearing that they would be targeted by the evil official Yang Qiu.
