Having just ordered the massacre of everyone in the manor, my junior sister is laughing so heartily...

This contrast is indeed a little unsettling.

At this moment, the dark green mist that filled the main hall had thinned out, no longer as thick and deep as it had been at the beginning, but it was still frighteningly green.

On the contrary, the situation of the four newly appointed heads of aristocratic families is quite strange.

Well...

Anticipating a stroke of luck and a shock—what a wondrous encounter.

After climbing over the mountaintop and layers of white clouds, where is the green light?

It was obvious that the "green light" was shining brightly on the faces of these four people.

Its color is bright and lustrous.

Finally, Ayado gently waved her slender hand, absorbing all the remaining thin mist into her body.

The eerie emerald green color on the faces of the four family heads gradually faded, but their eyes became empty and dull.

His expression was blank, as if he had lost his mind, and he seemed rather dim-witted.

"Their appearance is too flawed; anyone can see that there's something wrong with them," Qin Zhaoyue frowned.

"It will get much better after a while of activity; it's always like this when it's first under control."

Aya's face was even paler than before, and her breathing was slightly weak, clearly indicating that she had exhausted herself greatly.

"However, we have now basically taken control. Your Highness may ask whatever you wish..."

Before she could finish speaking, she saw Qin Zhaoyue's eyes suddenly light up, like stars suddenly ignited in the dark night.

"Ahem," Qin Zhaoyue cleared her throat, her face instantly contorted with a deep sorrow for her country and its people, her tone becoming even more righteous and awe-inspiring.

"The war in the north has not yet ended, and the autumn harvest taxes have not yet been fully collected. The court is currently facing a difficult time of transition between the old and new harvests."

When the four traitors fled, they took away a large amount of silver notes and valuables, all of which were the hard-earned money of the people.

This can be used as military supplies to alleviate the court's urgent needs and stabilize the border!

Aya immediately understood and activated the Gu worms.

The four family heads trembled slightly, their faces showing struggle and resistance.

Clearly, even when charged, they still have an instinctive resistance to handing over such core secrets.

However, driven by the powerful Gu worms, it eventually revealed the location of the hidden silver intermittently.

Instead of hiding in a merchant guild, they used a seemingly unrelated carriage shop as a cover, which was rather novel.

Soon, Jiang Wuyai personally drove the group of people with different expressions straight to the carriage shop.
