There was not a trace of pity in his eyes.
He strode up to Li Yulang and looked down at him coldly:
"You have committed many evils, and today is your retribution."
Your family and your confidants will all pay the price for your crimes!
Li Yulang shouted desperately at the top of his lungs:
"Wei Changxuan, you can't kill my whole family! I am the Minister of Rites, you killed my entire family!"
Emperor Yuanjing will definitely not let you off easily!
Wei Changxuan leaned slightly closer to Li Yulang's ear and said, word by word:
"Emperor Yuanjing? He won't let me go? I forgot to tell you, I won't let him go either!"
You can rest in peace on your journey. When you arrive in the underworld, reflect on your sins!
I'll have him come to be with you sooner!
After hearing what Wei Changxuan said in his ear, Li Yulang's face was filled with terror.
He couldn't believe that this handsome young man before him was actually going to... kill the king?!
"you you……"
Just as Li Yulang was about to open his mouth to say something...
A flash of cold light, and Wei Changxuan's sharp blade precisely sliced across Li Yulang's neck.
Li Yulang's head rolled off instantly, and blood splattered out like a fountain, staining the blue bricks on the ground red.
"What do you mean, 'you'! Then you'll all be together again!"
After dealing with group 85 Li 21 Yu Lang 04278, Wei Changxuan did not pause at all.
He looked at Li Yulang's family and cronies kneeling on the ground and said coldly:
"All direct descendants of the Li family shall be executed on the spot! All others shall be sent to the night watchman's prison to investigate their crimes, confiscate their property, and exterminate their entire clan!"
All the property in the mansion must be seized and inventoried; not a single item may be omitted.
The night watchmen swiftly carried out the order and killed all of Li Yulang's family members and immediate relatives on the spot!
They then began a thorough inventory of the property within the mansion…
at the same time.
Wei Changxuan's massive operation to confiscate the property and exterminate the clan of Li Yulang, the Minister of Rites, quickly shocked the entire officialdom of the capital...
The officials were terrified, the people praised, and Emperor Jing was furious... for a long time.
Chapter 55: Bloodshed and rivers of slaughter, so what if it's a rebellion!
At this time, the capital city resembled a lonely city shrouded in frost.
The chilling atmosphere seemed almost tangible, permeating every inch of the air.
Wei Changxuan had just taken over the crucial position of leader of the night watchmen when...
With lightning speed, a shocking case was launched against Li Yulang, the second-rank Minister of Rites, involving the confiscation of his property and the extermination of his entire clan.
This also caused a huge shock throughout the capital city; officials were like frightened birds, everyone feeling insecure.
Every moment was filled with dread, fearing that the slightest misstep would result in being mercilessly swallowed up by the aftershocks of this storm.
……
At this time, Wei Changxuan
After decisively killing Li Yulang and his family on the spot, there was no hesitation or slackness whatsoever.
With a sudden wave of his hand, he led all his watchmen...
Like a surging, unstoppable black torrent,
The residence of Zhang Feng, the Minister of War, was swiftly swept away.
On the bustling street, the people witnessed this familiar scene and immediately began to discuss it.
After all, when Wei Changxuan led these night watchmen past,
They then slaughtered dozens of lives!
At this moment, the heavy footsteps of the night watchmen...
The sound of the hammering echoed on the ancient and heavy stone slabs of the capital city, sending chills down one's spine.
……
At the same moment,
Deep within the palace, inside the Golden Throne Hall,
Emperor Yuanjing sat upright on the dragon throne, a symbol of supreme power.
He clutched tightly in his hand a piece of intelligence delivered by express courier.
His once dignified and imposing face, which commanded respect even without anger,
At this moment, I am completely filled with anger.
He abruptly stood up from the dragon throne and shouted angrily:
"What exactly does Wei Changxuan want to do? Does he even respect me as the emperor?"
Is there no order or discipline left in the imperial court?! How dare they openly confiscate the property and exterminate the entire clan of a high-ranking official of the second rank! This is utterly lawless!
The eunuch who had been serving him cautiously was so frightened by Emperor Yuanjing's sudden outburst of rage that his legs went weak.
"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Wei Changxuan is nothing to worry about; your health is the most important thing!
"503," Emperor Yuanjing had no interest in listening to such flattering nonsense.
He paced back and forth in the magnificent hall, anxious and angry.
The ornate hem of his robe fluttered wildly with his vigorous movements.
Like a flag waving in the wind.
"I entrusted the night watchman to him, but it was merely a condition for Wei Yuan's expedition!"
The original intention was to have him diligently rectify official corruption and eliminate malpractices in the court.
This is absolutely not to allow him to act so recklessly and wantonly.
The entire capital city was thrown into chaos, with no peace whatsoever!
Wang Fu cautiously raised his head slightly.
A barely perceptible glint of cunning flashed in those cloudy eyes:
"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, Wei Changxuan's actions are..."
There is likely someone else secretly instigating and manipulating this behind the scenes.
They are attempting to use this opportunity to disrupt the court's power structure and seek personal gain.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yuanjing suddenly stopped in his tracks.
His eyes were sharp as an eagle's, as if they could see through all illusions.
"You mean, someone is deliberately manipulating all of this behind the scenes?"
Seeing this, Wang Fu immediately kowtowed again, his forehead slamming heavily onto the cold ground.
"Your Majesty is wise; this old servant is merely making a bold guess."
After all, the Minister of Rites and the Minister of War were both important and trusted officials in the imperial court.
With no one behind him?! How could Wei Changxuan dare to act rashly and without restraint?
Emperor Yuanjing frowned and fell into deep thought.
Wei Yuan has already set out on the expedition, so where does Wei Changxuan's arrogance come from?
Wang Party, Liang Party, Eunuch Party... or the Crown Prince?
After a moment, he spoke coldly:
"Closely monitor all developments in this matter."
Any disturbance must be reported immediately and truthfully.
Meanwhile, at another pavilion in the middle of the lake within the palace.
The Crown Prince and Princess Lin'an
The prince gently picked up the teacup and elegantly took a sip.
His expression was complex and difficult to decipher, and he slowly said:
"Have you heard about the major case that Wei Changxuan handled today?"
A fleeting, barely concealed gleam of pleasure flashed in Princess Lin'an's eyes.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, her tone full of delight:
"Those old bastards actually dared to confront Brother Changxuan head-on this morning."
This is their retribution! They used to abuse their power and influence, acting arrogantly and domineeringly in the court...
Someone should have stepped in and dealt with them a long time ago.
Lin'an didn't care about the political landscape; she only admired Wei Changxuan's talent and ability. Of course, his good looks were also a plus.
The crown prince gently put down his teacup and shook his head slightly.
A look of worry appeared on his face:
"That being said, Wei Changxuan's move is far too radical and risky. The situation in the court is complex, and a single move can have far-reaching consequences."
Such methods are bound to cause extreme panic and dissatisfaction among other officials.
Princess Lin'an, however, disagreed, pouting and casually saying:
