"That means I'm not here to negotiate with you on behalf of the Great Yin Dynasty, but rather, in my capacity as the Joint Trial Council, to inform you to immediately terminate all ties with the Thirteen Kingdoms of Great Xia."
The tribunal?
These three words alone immediately silenced all the officials present, and even the five hundred axemen who were lying in ambush heard the news and immediately and quietly began to move.
In recent years, the Public Trial Council has acted with extreme arrogance. The methods they use to punish sects and even aristocratic families are varied and diverse, all aimed at helping the rich escape poverty.
This left a deep shadow over all countries; even bandits who saw it were moved to tears and reformed.
Nowadays, there is an unwritten rule circulating in the Eastern Region: when faced with a public arbitrator, it is far less harmful to simply admit defeat than to resist.
Therefore, when they learned that Shen Zhao was from the Public Trial Committee, everyone trembled with fear, afraid that they would be the next target.

Zhao Jie was furious upon hearing this: "Insolence! Who do you think you are? Who gave you permission to look me in the eye? Kneel down and speak to me!"
Then he looked at the guards and said, "Men, seize this arrogant scoundrel who has no respect for the emperor and take him to the prison!"
Unfortunately, upon hearing the emperor's roar, the guards tacitly took a large step back, showing no intention of stepping forward to protect him.
At the same time, a thought arose in the minds of the officials present: the emperor of the Ziyuan Empire might be about to be replaced.
