Squeak!
The knife flashed, and the head of the official from the Secretariat flew off his neck intact. The blood on his neck splattered all the way. After landing on the ground, it rolled all the way to the door before stopping.
Tantai Hongyuan threw down his sword indifferently and said, "Come here."
Several royal guards walked in with their heads lowered. Without any orders from Tan Tai Hongyuan, some carried the bodies, some picked up the heads, some cleaned the floor, and some wiped the bloody sword for the emperor.
But when he was about to offer the sword, Tan Tai Hong Yuan waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "This sword has seen blood. I don't want to carry it with me. I'll give it to you as a reward."
The man was overjoyed and quickly knelt on one leg, holding the sword and pestle in his backhand, and bowed to Tan Tai Hong Yuan, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward! Long live the emperor!"
The Emperor's sword, at least at its worst, is still a precious sword. It might even be a cultural relic. Even in aristocratic families, it can be passed down as a family heirloom.
The internal guard blushed with joy.
Tan Tai Hongyuan smiled slightly, waved his hand, and asked them to leave.
After the inner guard left, the study looked brand new, as if the knife had never happened.
No head had ever rolled down the wall, and that young and handsome official from the Secretariat seemed to have never existed.
A plump woman in a dark purple floor-length puffy skirt came out from a small door in the imperial study that was carved with twined branch patterns.
She was playing with a small jade fan in her hand, smiling and kneeling towards Tan Tai Hong Yuan, "Your Majesty."
Tantai Hongyuan smiled as soon as he saw her: "Jiuyi, you're here. Come and sit down. Did I scare you just now?"
This woman was none other than Quan Jiuyi of the Quan family.
She opened the jade fan, covering half of her face with it, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I'm not someone who hasn't seen the world. If I don't kill a mere official from the Secretariat who's trying to sow discord, should I keep him alive for the New Year?"
"Well said!" Tantai Hongyuan laughed heartily. "Jiuyi is indeed courageous! Women are no less capable than men!"
Quan Jiuyi smiled but said nothing.
Tantai Hongyuan opened a piece of snow-white paper, picked up a red brush, and wrote a big word "Ren".
He said with emotion: "The word 'forbearance' is like a knife hanging over my head. Even if I am the emperor, I have to endure it!"
Quan Jiuyi sneered and didn't respond.
Everyone knows that since the establishment of constitutional monarchy, the imperial power has been weakened, and the era when the emperor's words were law is no longer the era.
But this emperor was different from his ancestors who lived a life of drunkenness and dreams.
Quite ambitious.
Quan Jiuyi gently waved his fan, and a pleasant breeze swept over.
Tantai Hongyuan threw away the red brush in his hand and said with interest, "Jiuyi, let's go out of the palace incognito and watch Inspector Huo kill someone, okay?"
Quan Jiuyi smiled and said, "Your Majesty has given an order, and no one dares to disobey."
As they spoke, the two men changed into ordinary people's clothes, put on human face masks, and quietly left the palace under the protection of the royal guards.
Instead of taking a flying vehicle, the two of them took an autonomous car and headed all the way to the royal hunting ground outside the city.
At this time, Huo Yushen was busy mobilizing troops to complete the emperor's instructions.
He asked Ya Zi, one of his elite action teams, to lead 172 teams to the homes of the 172 clan members.
According to the records in the imperial population management database, all members of these royal families, except for their underage children, were taken to the royal hunting grounds outside the city for execution.
Among the 172 royal family members involved in the case, the oldest was 73 years old and the youngest was 30 years old, all of whom were of age to support their families.
Therefore, there are indeed many people implicated.
Their wives, husbands, children, and if they are married, their children’s husbands or wives are also included.
A total of 3,612 people, after their biometric information was verified, had their hands tied behind their backs, their mouths gagged, and were driven into the back of a series of open-top trucks. They paraded through Beichen Street, the most prosperous street in the imperial capital of Beichen Star, and rushed all the way to the royal hunting ground outside the city at lightning speed.
Because the emperor had ordered that there was no need to hide it anymore, Huo Yushen's men spread all the recent events in the royal family.
So within three minutes, the entire empire's star network was filled with hot searches for the breaking news of this incident.
#Surprise! Princess Jing was assassinated! The Queen took the bullet for her daughter! #.
#The royal family is colluding with each other! They are plotting to assassinate a direct member of the royal family! They deserve to be punished! #.
#The Great Purge of the Imperial Palace! Who is behind this?! #.
#The imperial power is ceded again and again! Life and death! There is no turning back! #.
…
At this time, She Zhuyin did not join in the fun.
She was wearing a very ordinary middle-aged woman's face mask, a dark brown top and overalls, a white sanitary cap on her head, and was pushing a cleaning cart filled with various cleaning supplies. She walked into a bar with a humble smile on her face.
This was also given to her by Huo Yushen. It was a base of the Judge Organization in the imperial capital.
This bar is located in a commercial building with more than 300 floors on Night Spirit Street in the imperial capital. It is famous throughout the imperial capital as the noisiest, most chaotic and most crowded bar.
It occupies the three lowest floors of the building.
The bar's exterior is decorated like an inverted lotus pod.
She Zhuyin didn’t know why before, but now she understands.
It was not yet the normal business hours for the bar, but the bar and the dance floors were still full of people.
Many people even came here last night and didn't have time to go home.
