There were more than seven hundred prisoners to be executed in total, but there were only forty or fifty key figures at the scene, who were used as examples by Zhou Yao.
There is nothing wrong with his idea itself. These people failed to take sides and hindered many people from taking office. Killing them now can not only make way for him, but also form a deterrent, which will be of great help in consolidating his authority.
"Palace Master, everyone is here. Shall we start?" Rong Hang asked.
Zhou Yao sat down confidently on the only chair in the room and replied, "Let's get started!"
Rong Hang then said loudly, "These people have committed rebellion and are endangering the survival of all races in Xing Palace. Their crimes are heinous and they deserve to be publicly executed to comfort the old Palace Master's spirit. Now, the execution squad will execute them by firing squad, and you are all witnesses."
The execution squad consists of ten people and is ready.
Judging from their serious expressions, they were nervous and their hands holding the guns were shaking.
Next, a judge from the Ministry of Justice came out and read out the name and crime of the first prisoner to be executed.
After reading it, he gave the order for the execution.
[This person is a senior official from the Ministry of Culture. The host already knows all his information.]
The order of execution is based on seniority, starting with senior officials, then deputy ministers, and then ministers.
"I know this guy is of little use. Killing him is fine. It doesn't matter."
Accompanied by a gunshot, a bloody hole appeared on the senior official's forehead and a blood mist burst out from the back of his head.
The onlookers at the scene were all very calm. After all, everyone had experienced fighting and was accustomed to killing.
But many people are afraid that if they fail, the same outcome will occur.
The only ones who couldn't keep calm were the other prisoners.
They were all physically restricted, and they had the strength of Star Crossers but were unable to use it. How frustrating it was to be shot.
The gun is not an ordinary gun, but a specially modified extraordinary gun that can shoot through the high-defense body of the star-crossed person.
As the first body fell, Zhou Yao nodded with satisfaction.
He had a strange premonition from the beginning, and always felt that today would not go smoothly.
But at the moment, everything seems to be fine and there are no accidents.
However, at this time, the disclosure of various information by this senior official of the Ministry of Culture caused a huge sensation on the Internet.
The main charge against him by the Ministry of Justice was cultural and racial betrayal, and openly supporting dark witches in many of his works.
But in fact, this did not happen. All of this person's works can be found on the Internet. He is a staunch racist.
"That's outrageous! I can find evidence to accuse him of racism, but to accuse him of betraying the Sky Witch Clan is simply ridiculous."
"I was deeply impressed by him. He once publicly promoted the theory of Tianwu tribe's priority during a speech at school, and was criticized by many people at the time."
"It's a bit weird that such a person would be accused of betraying the Tianwu Clan."
Regardless of the online comments, the execution continued at Qixingtai.
The second was a senior official from the Ministry of Resources Management. He faced his death calmly, his eyes glaring at Zhou Yao.
After his death, explanations of his charges also appeared online.
Rather than an explanation, it's more like whitewashing.
His main crime was serious corruption. He secretly sold many core resources to companies, resulting in a large loss of Xinggong's wealth.
But the problem is that there is no evidence, and this person is notoriously honest.
"Whatever the higher-ups are doing, the charges are always completely different."
"You don't even bother to frame me? I can do that too."
"Zhou Yao is too arrogant. Is he using this method to warn us? He can kill anyone he wants, and he can accuse them of any crime."
More and more people are discussing this matter, some online and some in real life.
And no matter what angle they discussed from, it would always end up turning to Zhou Yao and becoming dissatisfaction with Zhou Yao.
When preparing to execute the third prisoner, Zhou Yao received a report from his subordinates and finally learned about this matter.
"Rong Hang, why are people scolding me online?"
He looked grim.
In Zhou Yao's imagination, the civilians should applaud and celebrate since he dealt with so many high-ranking officials at once.
Because civilians don't need to know the truth, they just want the powerful or high-ranking officials to die, regardless of what crime they have committed.
However, the reality is different. Zhou Yao was annoyed by many online comments attacking him.
Rong Hang explained, "Someone might be deliberately spreading rumors. For example, some star masters, or dark wizards hiding in the shadows. In times like this, we must remain stable and not panic. Civilians are easily misled and will curse when they are upset. But they can only talk and cannot cause any further trouble. Once this matter is over, we will issue some announcements to explain the situation, and all the disturbances will naturally subside."
Zhou Yao nodded in agreement, but then asked, "What are the charges against these people? Some of them really don't seem right."
Rong Hang explained, "Don't worry about the civilians. Our goal is to deter other officials. We want them to know that if you want to deal with someone, you can accuse them of any outrageous crime. Isn't that right?"
"Haha, that's true."
Zhou Yao felt elated, with a sense of comfort that he was in control of the life and death of all things.
He wanted to do this to intimidate others and scare them so that they would not dare to refute any of his policies in the future.
He, Zhou Yao, wanted to be the emperor of Xing Palace, and no one dared to refute him.
With these emotions, Zhou Yao signaled for the execution to continue.
The third person, the fourth person, the fifth person...
Chen An watched, Mu Lin watched, and Zhu Die also watched.
Corpses fell to the ground one after another, and the prayer platform was dyed red with blood.
A large amount of blood also splattered outside the stage, adding a touch of bright color to the sea of flowers.
"Brother, do you want to kill so many people?" Qianqiu's voice came again.
Chen An replied, "Many things are just so cruel. Failure to seize power means death. This is the price they anticipated from the beginning. Shut up and don't disturb my mood."
