"Isn't it too much to just give six out of ten? I think we should give four out of ten first and then raise it to six out of ten or seven out of ten."
After the head of the family pondered for a moment, he replied.
"indeed so."
Several other family heads nodded and agreed.
"Then go and meet him now!"
After the head of the family spoke again, several people nodded again.
"Oh? How many of them want to meet me?"
The man who was looking at the classics in the study was surprised and asked again.
"Yes!"
Eunuch Zhang bowed and replied.
"It seems they have figured it out, it just depends on their sincerity." The person sitting on the chair looking at the classics put the classics in his hands on the desk and said with a smile.
"Then let them come in?"
Eunuch Zhang asked in a low voice.
"Let them in."
After the man finished speaking, he picked up the classics on the desk and read them again.
Squeak~
"I'm waiting to see you, Your Majesty!"
After several people entered the study, they knelt down on one knee and spoke.
"Are the heads of the family coming to see me to plead for your sons?"
The man looked at the book in his hand, scanning it line by line, and asked aloud.
After several people looked at each other, they said at the same time: "Yes, Your Majesty! I am indeed here for the heirs of my family."
"If you want me to release them without handing over something of equal value, it's very difficult to negotiate."
The man put down the book in his hand and stood up to face them. His fingers on the desk kept tapping on the desk, making a dull "dong-dong" sound.
"I am willing to give up four-tenths of the family's resources in exchange for my son's life."
Several people said at the same time.
"Four out of ten...isn't enough. What I need is seven out of ten."
The man spoke directly and asked for seven-tenths of their family's resources.
"this........."
Several people had bitter looks on their faces, obviously they didn't expect him to be so bold and directly asked them to contribute seven-tenths of their family's resources.
"It's okay if you don't want to surrender. Your son's death is only the first step. I won't give your family any chance to resist in the second step. You must have guessed what I will do."
The man smiled slightly and replied to their words. Although his tone was as usual, what he said made several people present frown.
When he said these words, he was obviously threatening them, but now this person has a lot of power in his hands, which is dispensable to these families.
And when I heard what he said, I thought that he would not give them any chance to resist, and would directly exterminate the clan and seize the resources into his hands.
It is common for a family to be wiped out and then plunder its resources. Now he is looking for a reason to come out. Although it is not because of them, he must be worried about being rumored. He is ruthless and will destroy his clan members as long as they disobey, just like a tyrant.
.
As the leaders of a country, although they themselves are cultivators, being cruel to the people under their management cannot keep their dynasty alive.
"We are willing to surrender, but we only ask that your majesty spare their lives and spare the lives of the family behind us."
After several people looked at each other, they spoke out.
"It's easy to say, but you have to hurry up. If the resources have not been sent over in the morning, I cannot guarantee that your son will still be alive. After all, an imperial decree cannot be changed casually."
The man walked to the door, looked up at the bright stars in the sky, and said calmly.
"Don't dare!"
Even if a few people complained, they did not dare to raise objections.
Morning time is coming soon, and the eldest family members and other family members are busy tonight.
In the morning, several people who had followed the Fourth Prince were pulled to the square. As the sky gradually turned white, many people passed by and started to watch.
At this moment, Chang Fengxian was really panicked.
"Are we doomed?"
One of them asked decadently.
But no one answered him, because no one else knew whether it was really going to be over.
The man sitting above frowned, and there were many people protecting him standing in front of him.
It was almost morning, but no one from those families came, but he didn't think much about it.
"Morning has arrived and the beheading begins!"
The man raised his hand and spoke.
"Morning has arrived, let's ask!"
As the person responsible for presiding over the beheading threw a sign on the ground, several people with a level of foundation building, holding broadswords with a level of spiritual weapons, began to lift it up.
"Save someone under the knife!"
The head of the eldest family arrived in a hurry and shouted loudly.
Hearing his words, the khans in charge of beheading all looked at the man on the front seat, obviously asking for his opinion.
The man raised his hand slightly, and the person responsible for beheading began to take a step back.
This so-called beheading was just a deliberate act by him, in order to reduce the resources available to these families who wanted to suppress them.
Moreover, he is a person who works hard to the end. Asking these families to hand over most of their resources is only the first step. The second step is to directly reduce the deterrent power of these families.
When the army is strong and the horse is strong, the current threat from the Yuxu Kingdom should be eliminated, otherwise the power of the royal family will be reduced in the future, and families like them will be kings by then.
The man's eyes are set on the future. Cultivation is the guarantee of life. Now the royal family is guarded by a strong man with a half-step golden elixir, but secretly there is another strong man of the golden elixir stage protecting it.
"You need evidence to retain someone. Do you have evidence?"
The man looked at the head of the family and said.
"I do have evidence. Your Majesty, please move."
After the head of the family heard what the man said, he knew that he wanted to solve the matter secretly, so as not to let these common people know what he really wanted to do.
"Move to the side hall."
After the man stood up, he glanced at everyone present, then turned and walked towards the side hall.
"Now His Majesty is verifying the authenticity of the evidence, and these criminals will be held accountable in the future."
After the man left, the official responsible for the beheading also stood up and dragged away Chang Fengxian and others who were waiting to be killed.
The civilians who were watching the show also started to guess, but in the end they still couldn't guess anything.
"This is a resource that seven out of ten of our families can utilize. Your Majesty, please inspect it."
The head of the family knelt down on one knee and spoke out.
The power possessed by the man in front of him now is so powerful that even if he wants to resist, it is useless.
Eunuch Zhang took the Najie from his hand and presented it to the man.
After the man took it, checked it carefully, nodded and said: "Now that the evidence has been found, the direct descendants of your family are indeed not guilty. I will let them go later."
"Can your Majesty please let me go now? My son is in weak health. Please let me go as soon as possible."
