With a heart-wrenching cry, one of Liu Tong's arms was forcibly removed by Xu Zizhuo.
As a scholar, he had no power to fight back, and the severe pain in his arm made his face pale for a moment.
Seeing this violent scene, Xiao Ling felt inexplicably frightened and couldn't help but hold Chu Yi's hand.
"Ah—, you bastard, corrupt official, you are so cruel and inhumane, your end will not be good!"
Liu Tong was in real pain now, and he kept cursing while in pain.
To him, the so-called Minister of Personnel in front of him was a treacherous villain who was condemned by thousands of people and would not die a good death.
He felt great after scolding, but Chu Yi frowned when he heard it.
“Arrogant!”
"Zizhuo, chop off his other arm!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ling couldn't help but shudder and pulled his shoulder.
"Chu thief, aren't you going too far? These scholars have just arrived in the capital and are obviously being used as pawns by those with ulterior motives. It's not that serious..."
Before she finished speaking, Chu Yi turned around to block the Empress's face, and then spoke calmly:
"As a scholar, if he is so easily deceived into doing such a thing, then his studies are probably useless, and he deserves to pay the price."
After saying that, he gave the order again, "Zi Zhuo, do it!"
After confirming that it was correct, Xu Zizhuo responded and raised the knife in his hand.
“You…you…”
Seeing this scene, Liu Tong was completely shocked.
He did not expect that the treacherous minister in front of him was so arrogant that he actually asked someone to chop off his arm.
It was impossible to say that he was not afraid at this moment, but because his arm had been removed, the resentment in his heart was completely ignited.
"You scoundrel official, you traitor, you... just wait, you will get your comeuppance! You are going against all the scholars in the world!"
Seeing that he was still noisy, Xu Zizhuo had lost his patience.
With a wave of his hand and a slash of his knife, Liu Tong's originally intact left hand was cut off.
Accompanied by a miserable scream, bright red blood gushed out and splashed all over Xu Zizhuo.
Xiao Ling buried his head in front of Chu Yi, not daring to imagine how horrible the bloody scene before him was.
Liu Tong continued to make miserable sounds. Chu Yi felt extremely upset and couldn't help waving his hands.
"Okay, throw him down."
Xu Zizhuo understood and kicked Liu Tong, who was howling on the ground, down the stairs.
The kick was so powerful that Liu Tong rolled down the stairs in a very miserable state. The severe pain had left him on the verge of death.
"Huh? What is that?"
"It's Brother Liu!"
"Ah, blood, so much blood..."
"Fuck, don't step on me, that motherfucker—"
There was a commotion downstairs, and then, amid the shouts of the scholars and the girls from Tianxianyuan, a severed arm was thrown down.
"What is this...? Hiss... so majestic..."
Finally, after a long period of chaos, someone finally realized the seriousness of the situation and subconsciously started running out.
While running, he was shouting:
"Murder, murder!"
Some people were running out, but some scholars became even more furious when they saw this scene, and raised the weapons in their hands more crazily.
"Brother Liu's arm was chopped off by the treacherous minister upstairs. Everyone, avenge Brother Liu!"
"Go ahead, this bastard only has a few men, let's fight this bastard official!"
I don't know who instigated it, but the originally fearful scholar mustered up the courage and rushed in again.
Downstairs there was an even more terrible chaos.
Upstairs, Chu Yi waited for a while, "Why haven't the people from the Five Cities Military Department arrived yet?"
Xu Zizhuo was also unsure, "I don't know either. Logically speaking, it should be about time."
Chu Yi stopped talking and stood upstairs waiting for a while before he heard some movement downstairs.
Xu Zizhuo hurried down to investigate, and then turned back, this time with a guard following him.
"Sir, he is one of ours."
Xu Zizhuo's words made Chu Yi frown, and then the guard behind him whispered:
"Your Excellency, I personally went to contact the military department, but they refused to send troops to maintain order, citing no reports of unrest in the city!"
"Is that so?"
Chu Yi nodded, "It seems that this matter was indeed caused by the generals."
"These people from the Five Cities Military Department are trying to put a veil on me."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Ling, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but worry, "Could it be related to your third brother's men?"
The merit of following the emperor was clearly before his eyes, so Xiao Ling naturally knew what the civil officials should do. However, those military generals whose goal from the beginning was to be granted titles of nobility and prime ministers were unwilling to accept this.
"That...is not clear yet. I hope it's someone else."
Chu Yi shook his head, feeling a little confused.
Xu Zizhuo didn't dare to listen to the conversation between the two masters. After a long time, seeing that Chu Yi didn't continue talking, he stepped forward.
"Sir, what should we do with those scholars down there who are causing trouble?"
When asked about this idea, Chu Yi's face turned cold again.
"Beat them all. Stop when the soldiers come. I will be waiting here in person today."
He made his position clear. Xu Zizhuo took the order, responded, and went down with his men.
At this time, the Bingmasi deliberately kept their troops in place and allowed the situation to develop, which made Chu Yi very unhappy.
Regardless of whether the Five Cities Military Affairs Division sent anyone to handle today's farce, he had no intention of showing mercy to these scholars.
Chu Yi found a chair and really stayed here.
At this time, the little girl in his arms also poked out her curious head from his arms, her strange pupils slightly dilated, looking at the few scarlet spots on the ground.
"Chu Yi, these scholars represent members of the Xianzi Party from all over the country, and each of them has formed its own faction. Do you really intend to go against these scholars?"
At this time, Xiao Ling stood up, somewhat worried that Chu Yi's decision was too rash.
"You are going to be an official in Da'an Kingdom. Even if no one in the court dares to target you, if all the scholars in the world stand up, the consequences will be very serious."
"All the scholars in the world, please stand up?"
Chu Yi wanted to laugh when he heard this. "Your Majesty thinks too highly of these scholars. Perhaps there are some truly chivalrous and courageous people among them, but it is simply impossible to expect all the scholars in the world to unite and speak up for this group of mediocre people here."
Xiao Ling knew that she couldn't convince Chu Yi of his indifferent attitude.
She could only sigh helplessly.
"I won't argue with you, but you're so forceful, you'll suffer sooner or later."
