Chapter 806 What Can You Bring to This KingChapter 1001: The Storm Unleashes Slaughter

Three days.

A small commotion broke out in the courtroom.

Since the second edict of the deposed Zhao King Li Yinhu was issued, everyone knew that the sky of Great Qin was about to change. The conflict between the former Zhao King's eighth son and the prince had reached a point of open irreconcilability.

As a province bordering the capital, Nanjing, countless officials, both high and low, had numerous vested interests intertwined with those in the capital city. They wouldn't want to miss this opportunity.

But for those three days, they were almost completely blocked.

also let them understand that the change will happen within these three days.

Everyone knows Zhou Ping'an was parachuted into Nanhe Province from the Ministry of Punishment. For this, the East Palace went to great lengths to remove the previous Nanhe Provincial Superintendent of Finance, and Zhou Ping'an is undoubtedly a diehard member of the Donggong faction.

This made them extremely uncomfortable.

Facing this small wave of noise, Zhou Ping'an knew what they were thinking, but he didn't care.

Those who dare to take risks and do things have all been killed by him, so they can't come here.

And those who came here are all the ones without the courage to take risks. Now that they've reached this court, they can no longer make any waves.

In other words, Li Chen has completed the task he assigned him.

"May I ask, Your Excellency, what will we be doing these next three days" another official inquired.

"Simple."

Zhou Ping'an smiled and said, "I've got everything taken care of: delicious food and drink, as well as performances and music. You can do whatever you want, but there's one thing you absolutely cannot do: leave this government office."

After he finished speaking, Zhou Ping patted the table.

Outside the main gate of the public hall, dozens of menacing and expressionless Dongchang Jinyiwei marched in.

They stood in pairs, each group following behind an official, motionless.

"To ensure your safety, for the next three days, a Jinyiwei guard will be assigned to each of you for personal protection. This includes sleeping and even using the restroom, so please be prepared."

At this moment, an official couldn't help but speak up: "Zhou-sir, this is too excessive, isn't it We are court officials after all, and we even have to be watched while using the restroom. It's truly a disgrace to our dignity!"

Zhou Ping'an nodded in understanding and said, "That's right, sir. Being watched while using the restroom is indeed a bit insulting to one's refinement."

After finishing his words, Zhou Pingan shook his head just as the other officials' faces lit up with hope.

The Jinyiwei standing behind the official who had spoken before, expressionless, drew his sword and struck.

"Ah!"

A sharp and shrill scream pierced the air, followed by a gruesome sight: a severed head, drenched in blood, rolled across the courtroom floor.

With a thud, the official's body landed in the pool of blood.

In the courtroom thick with the stench of blood, Zhou Ping'an spoke softly, "The deceased no longer needs to use the latrine. Without needing to use the latrine, they will not be watched and will not be humiliated by their actions. My lords, does anyone else feel that something else is an insult to propriety Speak freely, this official will certainly heed your words and fulfill your requests."

The courtroom was eerily quiet, with only the heavy, stifled breaths of a few dozen people breaking the silence. No one else spoke.

Zhou Ping'an looked around once more, and said with satisfaction: “Since no one raises any objections anymore, I presume everyone agrees. In that case, please go to your assigned rooms and rest. After all, there are still three days left, a long time indeed.”

A political storm is brewing in the Jinggi region, but no one expected the massacre to begin first in Nanhe Province.

And similar events also occurred at the Imperial Pass, Yueya Pass, thousands of miles away!After a moment of silence in the carriage, Su Jinping's voice finally broke it."Young Master Hou, although we know each other, we are not close. Please be respectful and call me Miss Su. My father has...
