"Your Highness...Your Highness, I am here."
Qin Cai felt uneasy because he had done a lot of things before... If it weren't for the young lady taking power, things would be fine, but once she took power and started killing, he knew he would definitely be the first to be beheaded.
As the head of the Ministry of Revenue, it was simply too difficult to resist such temptations.
With just a little manipulation, the money becomes yours, and you'll never have to worry about it again.
I thought I could live a peaceful life forever, but yesterday's display of power by the young lady over the entire court shows me—
She knows everything.
Quan Ji tilted her chin slightly, her eyes half-closed, and her light brown eyes suddenly turned a pale gold, the gold flowing around them, making her look as sacred and noble as a god.
However, there was no divine mercy in her eyes.
"Slap yourself hard across the face," she commanded.
Just as expected!
Qin Cai's expression changed, and his body began to spiral out of control.
Snap—
The slap he gave himself was so hard it almost knocked his head off.
Everyone was stunned.
Why would someone let Qin Cai beat them so badly for no reason?
Is Quan Ji sick?
Today it's Qin Cai... who will it be tomorrow!
Some people, feeling a little guilty, pleaded for Qin Cai: "Miss, this... this is not a good idea to let Qin Cai hit you without any reason?"
They cannot allow the young lady's tyrannical attitude to spread, otherwise none of them will have an easy time.
Quan Ji glanced indifferently at the person pleading for mercy, her eyes devoid of any warmth. "No reason?"
The man felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were under immense pressure.
Quan Ji gave a cold laugh.
"ignorance."
"Qin Cai, tell me yourself, where did the 100,000 gold coins that disappeared from the national treasury in the past five years go?"
The air suddenly turned cold, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.
Ten...ten thousand gold coins?!
This is definitely not a small amount.
In general, an ordinary family in the Holy Empire only needs one gold coin to survive for a year.
One hundred thousand gold coins, you can imagine.
With these 100,000 gold coins, the warriors who fight bravely on the battlefield will not have to go hungry, they will not have to worry about reinforcements when they are defending their country, and they will not have to worry about their families being mistreated when they are shedding blood and sweat!
But now... Qin Cai has embezzled it all!
Qin Cai felt as if the air around him had been sucked out, making him feel suffocated to the extreme.
Seeing that he remained unmoved, Quan Ji reminded him again: "Do you know how many heads will be sacrificed for what you've done? Speak!"
Qin Cai's face was completely filled with tears of despair, and he immediately knelt down and kowtowed frantically.
"Young Miss, I was wrong! I was bewitched to embezzle the national treasury! I deserve to die!"
"But... but my family is innocent! I beg you, please spare my family... give my family a descendant, leave a lineage for the Qin family!"
He cried his heart out, and his already chubby body looked particularly comical at that moment.
This time, Kwon Ji did not control him.
In front of all the ministers in the hall, he confessed that he had embezzled the 100,000 gold coins.
This time, no one pleaded for him anymore. Instead, they looked at him with a damned gaze, wishing they could tear him to pieces with their own hands.
Embezzlement!
This is embezzlement of 100,000 gold coins!
Killing his ancestors for eighteen generations wouldn't be enough!
However, they cannot speak out freely.
Until, Kwon-hee spoke coldly, as if she could freeze the world.
"If I release your Qin family, how will I pay tribute to the people who died from hunger and cold due to natural disasters and calamities? How will I seek justice for the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country on the battlefield?"
"I hereby proclaim my holy decree: at noon today, within the city of Holy Glory, the entire Qin family, including nine generations of their clan, shall be exterminated!"
"Anyone who pleads for leniency will be considered an accomplice and executed without exception!"
