"Hey, saying this..." Fang Zhiyi waved his hand again, and another twenty or thirty people were brought up. This time it was Xue Wanqiu's turn to be shocked. Almost all of Xue's relatives were arrested.
When they saw Xue Wanqiu, they started crying and cursing, especially Xue's father, who cursed very harshly. He was caught by the guards last night and knew that the matter was exposed at that time.
Xue Wanqiu's face paled and flushed. It was clear that her father had been pleased with her rebellion the day she rebelled! Didn't he also want wealth and glory? He also wanted to trample his bullying boss underfoot! Why did it seem like she was the one who was wronged now?
"Well, I'll give you a choice." Fang Zhiyi looked at Xue Wanqiu and simply raised his finger. The eunuch beside him immediately stepped forward and handed Xue Wanqiu a sharp sword. "Kill all twenty or so people in the Xue family, and I will let your brother Wei go."
When the three words "Brother Wei" were mentioned, Fang Zhiyi almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
"This!" Xue Wanqiu was shocked. She looked at Fang Zhiyi in confusion, feeling that he was a little strange. She looked down at the gun in her hand and hesitated again. She was not the real Xue Wanqiu. She didn't care about the life or death of the Xue family, but...if she really did it, then how would others see her in the future? How would Brother Wei, Brother Xiao, and Brother Liu see her?
She was stunned for a moment, but it only lasted a few breaths. She suddenly stood up and said, "Fang Zhiyi! Are you sure you want to treat me like this?"
Fang Zhiyi nodded without hesitation: "Okay, wrong answer."
Before she could react, the eunuch stepped forward and snatched the oath from her hand.
Fang Zhiyi turned to look at Wei Lin: "I say, do you want to save your entire family's lives?"
Wei Lin glanced at his family members who were trembling all over and couldn't even stand steadily, and nodded. But after looking at the medicine handed to him by the eunuch, and at the Xue family members who looked equally frightened, he looked at Xue Wanqiu again and hesitated.
"Tsk, true love." Fang Zhiyi complained, "But it's okay, I'm prepared!"
He clapped his hands again, and two more teams were escorted up. Xue Wanqiu saw her brother Xiao and brother Liu.
"The rules are simple, but you two are not clean. You helped them rebel, so you can't fool me."
Liu Yan and Xiao Ce were trembling all over. As soon as the guards holding them let go, they immediately knelt down.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Fang Zhiyi smiled kindly: "You can ask me to forgive your sins. I'll give you a choice."
The old minister who had previously decided to die for his advice looked at Fang Zhiyi's smile and swallowed unconsciously.
"Kill the Wei family or the Xue family? It's your choice." Fang Zhiyi held his chin with one hand, his tone unquestionable, "I'll count. Either you all die here today, or..."
Xiao Ce took the letter first, and after a brief consideration, he handed it to Wei Lin's family. Seeing this, Liu Yan crawled behind him.
It wasn't until the sharp blade pierced her flesh and she cried out that Xue Wanqiu finally realized that she was wrong. The emperor in front of her didn't love her at all!
"You! You lied to me! You've lied to me for so long!" she cried. "Were your patience and tenderness towards me all fake?"
Fang Zhiyi rolled his eyes as he spread his hands. "Are you stupid? Since ancient times, apart from puppet emperors, which emperor who survived the struggle for the throne was gentle and affectionate? Isn't that courting death?"
Wei Lin roared and rushed towards Xiao Ce and Liu Yan, but was stopped by the soldiers.
