Huo Yushen said coldly, "So General Zhuo means that if the rebels offer enough benefits, Zhuo Wangying will work for them? - Yes, this has dispelled my doubts. I am not as wise and decisive as His Majesty the Emperor."
"Someone come! Take Zhuo Keyi away, everything here must be sealed. Zhuo Keyi knows too many high-level military secrets, he must go to the Special Security Bureau to undergo brain declassification." Huo Yushen waved his hand.
Zhuo Keyi's expression became even uglier.
He said timidly, "How dare you do this to me?! Your military rank is not as high as mine. What you did is insubordination!"
Huo Yushen said coldly, "Treason?—This is the Emperor's decree. The Zhuo family is stripped of their title, and Viscount Zhuo Keyi is being taken away by the Special Security Bureau for investigation and strict interrogation. If you don't believe me, see for yourself."
Zhuo Keyi's eyes were about to burst out, his head was buzzing, and all the blood in his body seemed to rush to his brain.
He roared fiercely, "I want to seek justice from His Majesty the Emperor! Our ancestors of the Zhuo family were also those who followed the first Beichen Emperor in his uprising! His Majesty the Emperor must have believed the slander!"
"I'm one of the five chiefs of staff of the military's top joint conference! Without the dual permission of the military and the cabinet, how dare you arrest me with just the emperor's order?!"
Huo Yushen didn't even look at him. Instead, he cast his gaze towards the desk in front of Zhuo Keyi and said coldly, "I'm here to arrest Viscount Zhuo Keyi on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor. As for your military position, what does it have to do with me?"
Zhuo Keyi glared at him, then recovered after a moment and said sternly, "Huo Yushen! You're seeking revenge for your own! You're holding a grudge against me for transferring you from the frontline!"
Huo Yushen raised his eyelids and glanced at him, still calmly and indifferently saying: "Zhuo Zijue, you think too highly of yourself."
Then he turned around and just said "take it away".
Just as he turned around, Zhuo Keyi finally reached into the drawer and took out a gun.
One of Huo Yushen's guards rushed over and stood behind him, saying, "Huo Shuai, be careful! Zhuo Keyi has a gun!"
Huo Yushen turned around suddenly, raised the 110 pistol like lightning, and pointed it at Zhuo Keyi.
Zhuo Keyi, however, had already pointed a gun at his own head and said with a sly grin, "No one can judge me!"
Then with a bang, Zhuo Keyi committed suicide.
The gun was so powerful that his head was blown into pieces in his own office like a smashed watermelon.
Huo Yushen put away his pistol and said coldly, "Zhuo Keyi committed suicide and resisted arrest. By order of His Majesty the Emperor, his body is taken away and the case is closed."
Kang Shanxing had seen this happen many times and said indifferently, "Zhuo Keyi is planning to have the military put pressure on the Emperor. As long as he dies, he will have saved many people on the military side. These people will definitely speak up for the Zhuo family with the Emperor. Maybe his title can even be passed down."
Huo Yushen said calmly: "The Zhuo family may be saved, but the title will never be saved."
He brought Zhuo Keyi's body back to the imperial palace of Beichen Star and reported the operation to His Majesty the Emperor.
His expression was his usual cold and stern expression. "Your Majesty, Zhuo Keyi committed suicide after being arrested. There is no way to conduct a strict trial."
Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan was so angry that he almost jumped up and said angrily: "I ordered an investigation into him, and he actually dared to challenge me with his own death!"
"He's the rotating chief of staff of the military's top joint meeting, and he's also in charge of equipment. How impressive... Are you thinking that if he dies and saves the military, I won't dare touch the Zhuo family?! — Ugh!"
"How dare you go against me! I will let the entire empire know who has the final say in this country!"
"I hereby order that Zhuo Keyi commit suicide and be arrested. The evidence is irrefutable. Not only will the Zhuo family be stripped of their title, but their entire clan will also be exterminated!"
Huo Yushen reminded him, "Your Majesty, the clan extermination requires the joint approval of the cabinet, the military, and the Senate..."
The emperor became even more enraged. After a furious outburst in the hall, he came up with an idea and said, "Then pass on my decree: all males over the age of eighteen in the Zhuo family will be executed!"
"All male members of the Zhuo family under the age of eighteen and all female members of the Zhuo family will be demoted to civilians. All Zhuo family members serving in the cabinet and the military will be expelled. For three generations, no one from the Zhuo family will be allowed to serve in the cabinet or the military!"
After saying this, he looked at Huo Yushen smugly and said, "This doesn't count as a clan extermination, right?"
Huo Yushen: "...Your Majesty, this requires your drafting of an edict."
As he spoke, the emperor's clerical attendant was almost kneeling down before Huo Yushen.
He didn't even dare to look at him. He just prepared the desk for drafting the edict and wrote the content, waiting for the emperor to sign and seal it.
Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan was furious. He signed the imperial edict without hesitation, stamped it with the imperial seal, and then threw it to Huo Yushen.
…
At the same time, Meng Guanghui and his nine subordinates were frantically collecting minerals on the pocket-sized planet.
Their own drills were not very powerful, but thanks to the mechanical intelligence from five hundred years later that helped them repair their mechas, they can now wear upgraded mechas and mine directly very conveniently!
"Boss, I didn't expect that the richest mineral deposit here is Xuanguang soft stone! This thing is light and can be compressed and folded. It doesn't take up any space at all!" A subordinate desperately stuffed the Xuanguang soft stone into his special bag.
Around the huge deep pit on the ground, colorful minerals were scattered all over the ground.
The most common material is the exotic metal Xuan Guang Soft Stone, which is the material that the mechanical intelligence uses to repair their mecha.
"Yes! Everyone, get more Xuanguang Soft Stones! Let's go back and ask Master Su to help us upgrade all the mechas in the bureau!"
"There's quite a bit of quantum black iron here, but it's incredibly heavy. It must be incredibly dense... It was fine before, just melting it directly. Now, I feel like this fist-sized amount is my limit."
