Chapter 360 No One Believes the Truth
They felt sad for the loss of another and were deeply moved.
Bai Li was helpless for the moment. If Asamu had resisted desperately, she would have killed him with a single blow, but he was like this now... she couldn't bring herself to do it.
Moreover, Yu Ji is also a big trouble. If she is not handled properly, it will at best cause hatred, and at worst it will become a threat and sow the seeds of disaster.
Yuan Mo and Lu Cui were both sensible people. They did not dare to plead with Bai Li, but just cried with Yu Ji. Perhaps this would make her feel better?
"Where's Marshal Bai?"
Suddenly, Nangong Min's voice was heard, and he walked in with a murderous look on his face.
"Li'er, are you okay?"
Seeing Bai Li's red eyes, the murderous intent in his eyes became stronger. He scanned the surroundings and finally locked onto the family of three on the ground.
"Wu Ji, you know your identity, what are you doing now?"
Wu Ji's body trembled, and she raised her head from Asamu's arms with tears in her eyes.
"master……"
"Do you still remember that I am your master?
I thought you were so used to being Empress Yu that you'd forgotten your own identity!"
"No, I know, I have always known..."
"Yuji, you are..."
No matter how dumb Asam was, he could see that something was wrong.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I'm a spy sent by the Great Zhou!"
Yu Ji told the truth with bleeding heart.
"What?!!"
Asam subconsciously pushed Wu Ji away as if she were a monster.
"I lied to you, I've been lying to you all along!"
Wu Ji gave it her all and shouted out the pain in her heart.
"you!"
After being shocked and angry, Assam suddenly felt relieved.
He slowly stood up and sighed to the sky.
"Never mind, never mind. Simon was ultimately destroyed by me. This is an established fact. It's only a matter of time."
"No, Simon was not destroyed by you. It was the intrigue and corruption of the Simon Dynasty, which treated the lives of its people like grass. It lost the support of the people and ended up like this today."
Bai Li kindly corrected him. After all, Asamu did not do anything wrong except being a little cowardly.
The fault lies with those who hold power. They increase taxes, rule brutally, lose the support of the people, and become rotten from the root, thus destroying a great country that had stood for hundreds of years.
Bai Li wiped his eyes, suppressed his snort, pointed at Asamu and said to Nangong Min: "You came at the right time. What is he going to do?"
"According to custom, the king of a fallen nation must be brought back to the Great Zhou to be dealt with by the Emperor, but..."
"But what?"
"The Emperor has granted you a badge (as if I were here in person), and you have every right to dispose of them."
"Is there such a thing?"
If he hadn't said it, Bai Li would have almost forgotten that the emperor had given her this badge.
Because she never used it, she didn't know where she had thrown it into the space, so she had to look for it carefully.
"In that case, put him in jail first. After we gather information and find out he hasn't committed any heinous crimes, we can give him a lighter sentence."
Bai Li looked at Wu Ji, hinting to her that there was still hope.
Sure enough, Wu Ji understood what she meant and stopped making trouble.
"Nangong Min, take your men to raid the palace and then deploy the city walls for defense."
"yes!"
"Someone, come! Take Asam to jail!"
Bai Li asked Wu Ji and Lu Cui to settle here. With the soldiers of the Great Zhou guarding them, nothing would go wrong.
As for the other women in Asam's harem, they were not so lucky.
Palace maids were sold and concubines were thrown into prison.
Bai Li will not be lenient towards them.
Thinking back to when she first came to Simon, she was hunted down one after another, and it was the queen and several concubines who did it.
There were women crying and wailing everywhere. Bai Li stepped out to take a look, and Yuan Mo followed.
I saw a group of soldiers escorting many women from the harem past. Among them were two women with disheveled hair who were cursing loudly, which was very unpleasant to hear.
"That is Asam's queen and favorite concubine."
When the two men looked up and saw that it was an acquaintance, they immediately started cursing.
"Yu Chang, you traitor! So you're a spy for the Great Zhou. I should have sent someone to kill you long ago!"
"I told you long ago that that little devil Yu Ji was a spy, but you all didn't believe me!"
"Bitch! You've brought us to this point. You deserve a horrible death!"
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Yuan Mo couldn't help it, so he stepped forward and slapped each of them hard in the face, causing one side of the face of the two people who were arrogant before to swell up immediately.
All the spies learn martial arts. How could these two delicate women who have been living in luxury since childhood and only know how to compete for favor withstand a slap from her with all her strength?
"puff!"
They spat out a mouthful of blood with two teeth stuck in it, and then they sobbed.
"Marshal Bai, Yuan Mo requests to personally deal with these two people. I beg Marshal Bai to grant my permission!"
Bai Li looked at her and thought that there must be something behind it, otherwise Yuan Mo would not have targeted these two people in particular with his personality.
"Okay."
"Hand them over to Yuan Mo for disposal!"
The soldier pushed the two people into Yuan Mo's hands and left. Yuan Mo kicked them to the ground one by one.
"You vicious, heartless bastards! How have I ever offended you? You've plotted to harm me time and again!"
The beating made the two of them realize the reality clearly. They no longer dared to be arrogant or curse, and even swallowed their cries of pain.
Dare to bully her best friend Yuan Mo? Beating them to death is not too much!
Bai Li was ready to take action, but Yuan Mo stopped her.
"Let me do it!"
Bai Li is now the Grand Marshal, so he has to take his image into consideration. He can't act like a common woman and argue with these two bitches.
"Okay, I'll leave them to you. Your decision on life and death is up to you!"
Bai Li thought Yuan Mo wanted to take revenge personally, but he didn't think too much about it.
She always does things unconventionally, and doesn't care about status or other people's identities, as long as she is happy.
"Marshal Bai, Commander Nangong invites you over."
A soldier came to find Bai Li, and Bai Li gave Yuan Mo a few words and left with him.
"What does he want from me?"
Bai Li asked as they walked.
"There's a problem with the national treasury. The commander is holding Asam for questioning."
Uh~
Oh no, she emptied the national treasury last year, and now there must be only an empty shell left. How can I explain this?
"Marshal Bai, you're here!"
When the deputy general of the soldiers saw her, they all saluted. Bai Li nodded and walked up to Nangong Min.
"What's going on?"
You're asking even though you already know the answer. Since she won't tell you, how can anyone know that it was her who did it?
"The Simons are cunning enough. They knew we were going to attack Simon, so they moved all their property away beforehand. The treasury is completely empty!"
Nangong Min was huffing and puffing, and it was obvious that he was very angry.
Bai Li...
"Did you ask anything?"
"When asked, Asam said he knew nothing. He only said that last year, the national treasury and granary were suddenly emptied overnight, and all the property and food disappeared!"
"Uh-maybe what he said is true?"
Bai Li looked at Asam, whose body was covered in blood, and felt a little uncomfortable.
He was telling the truth, but unfortunately no one believed him.
