Ouchi Cat Controlling, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Li Xuan understood that the people had been extremely disappointed.

Whether it was Gao Yanang, Prince Zheng, or Emperor Yongyuan...

In their eyes, there was no difference between these powerful people.

The embarrassment of Prince Zheng did not make Emperor Yongyuan happy. He was also keenly aware of the emotions of the people, and his brows wrinkled slightly uncontrollably.

Prince Zheng also reacted immediately and shifted the focus of his speech from the people to Emperor Yongyuan.

"Your Majesty, if this case is not investigated strictly, I am afraid there will be countless people who will follow suit."

"The southern tour will also be full of crises. Under such conditions, I do not recommend that Your Majesty continue the southern tour."

As soon as Prince Zheng finished speaking, several ministers in the court also seconded.

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

"Then according to your opinion, how should this case be investigated?" Emperor Yongyuan asked back.

King Zheng glanced at Gao Yanang and others who were kneeling in front of the hall and said coldly:

"Severe punishment will surely make them confess the truth."

Li Xuan, who was outside, rolled his eyes when he heard this.

"What the hell are they going to confess?"

"If you want to kill them, just say so."

He was complaining in his heart.

Gao Yanang and others had lost their usefulness. For King Zheng and his ministers, they were just a burden, so they naturally wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible.

These corrupt officials were good at oppressing the people and squeezing the people's fat and blood.

But their bodies were so delicate that they couldn't stand any severe punishment.

The problem was that they didn't even know what to confess. If they really did what King Zheng said, it would undoubtedly sentence them to death.

Gao Yanang and others immediately looked at Emperor Yongyuan with nervous expressions. They all knew who was in charge at the moment.

In this court, in front of the people, even King Zheng and his ministers didn't dare to disobey or contradict Emperor Yongyuan too much.

If he really did this, Emperor Yongyuan only needed to use the name of maintaining the emperor's majesty to severely punish them.

All the things Emperor Yongyuan did during his southern tour were to make his orders better implemented, instead of being constrained everywhere like in the court.

But last night's attack was obviously beyond Emperor Yongyuan's expectations, and the original plan also went wrong.

He only needed to continue to repeat the killing of chickens to scare monkeys in Jinghou County, and he could set off to the next destination today.

But King Zheng used last night's attack to hold him back.

If a vicious case of this degree cannot be explained well, it is indeed a trouble.

Not to mention that the local people are worried, the subsequent southern tour will also be difficult.

Wherever Emperor Yongyuan goes, attacks will occur there, which will sooner or later arouse public anger and make Emperor Yongyuan a plague god that everyone fears.

Seeing that this method can divert conflicts, corrupt officials will naturally follow suit and encounter increasingly strong resistance.

The atmosphere in the court gradually solidified, and everyone was waiting for Emperor Yongyuan's decision.

Emperor Yongyuan glanced at everyone present, and then said:

"What the emperor's uncle said makes sense. This group of villains must be severely punished."

"Since they are here to rob the prison, let's execute them immediately and behead all the criminals in the court to show them to the public, so that they can't be saved."

"Then send capable people to thoroughly investigate the case and hunt down the remaining accomplices."

Emperor Yongyuan spoke to himself, and then began to call the generals.

"Minister of Justice Zhang Lin, listen to my order!"

The Minister of Justice, who was standing with Prince Zheng, immediately changed his face, but had to bite the bullet and step forward.

"I am here."

"I order you to thoroughly investigate the case of the attack on Caiyun County. You must catch all the criminals in one fell swoop to set an example."

"I give you three days. If you fail to complete the task, you will come to see me with your head!"

Everyone was shocked, even the people outside the court.

Although they didn't know much, they also knew that the Minister of Justice was a high-ranking official, and the emperor always kept his word.

It seems that the emperor really wants to give Caiyun County an explanation.

Otherwise, he would not let such a high official bet his life to give them justice.

"Your Majesty..."

Zhang Lin was about to excuse himself, but Emperor Yongyuan raised his hand to stop him from speaking.

"Hey, Zhang Lin, as the highest official of the Ministry of Justice, you have an obligation to do this, and you also need to set an example for this southern tour."

"I entrust the face of Daxing to you, I hope you will not let me and the people of Caiyun County feel disappointed."

"This is settled!"

Emperor Yongyuan's tone was unquestionable.

But he thought about it again and asked King Zheng:

"Uncle, what do you think?"

At this time, everyone looked at King Zheng, making him the focus of the whole audience.

A glimmer of hope gradually rose in the numb eyes of the people.

The eyes of the kneeling criminals such as Gao Yanang were full of pleasure.

Only the ministers frowned, and the Minister of Justice Zhang Lin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate."

As soon as King Zheng finished speaking, he felt a thorn in his back.

Li Xuan was also surprised in the crowd that the eyes of the people had become so sharp at this time.

They stared at King Zheng angrily, and didn't even look at Gao Yanang and others.

The people of Caiyun County have long been accustomed to the exploitation of Gao Yanang and others, but at this time, this King Zheng made them even more disgusted.

So many people died last night, and he actually wanted to stop the emperor from giving them justice.

When one day it is their turn to suffer this misfortune, will this prince block the justice that should belong to them again?

King Zheng also knew that what he said would offend the people of Caiyun County.

But compared to them, the Minister of Punishment is more valuable, isn't it?

This comparison does not require calculation at all.

But at this moment, an angry voice suddenly sounded from the crowd:

"Everyone says that King Zheng is a good man, but I think it's all nonsense!"

"Maybe the ones who attacked our county last night were the ones he sent."

The rich voice was full of anger, which resonated with the people of Caiyun County.

They looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a little girl holding a black cat.

Everyone thought that they were not looking in the right direction, and each looked at the person around them who might dare to say this.

In the crowd, several strong men were stared at with admiration, and they suddenly felt courageous.

"That's right!"

"Can we just forget about it after so many people died?"

"The county is in such a state of disgrace, do you think we should continue to tolerate it?"

"That bullshit prince, it's not your family that dares to die for love!"

"..."

The crowd was excited, and the people's emotions were ignited. They didn't care about the princes and princes, and started shouting curses.

"presumptuous!"

"You dare to insult the royal family, I see you unscrupulous people are getting impatient!"

The senior official next to King Zheng reprimanded him. The official was full of magnanimity.

"What are you guys doing standing still?"

"Hurry up and take down those unruly people who insulted King Zheng!"

They directly commanded the officials in the hall.

But there were eunuchs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs standing nearby, so how could they dare to act at will.

Especially at this moment, the eunuchs in colorful clothes all looked fiercely and stared at the ministers with evil expressions.

In the presence of Emperor Yongyuan, they dared to be so arrogant, which was simply treason.

As long as Emperor Yongyuan gives an order, the eunuchs in colorful clothes are ready to take down these civil servants who can't tell the difference between the big and the big kings.

But the common people didn't know this kind of thing. When they saw the posture of these officials, they were subconsciously frightened and froze in place. They couldn't speak out the excited words, as if they were all held tightly by an invisible big hand. Same as the neck.

This almost instinctive reaction left them unable to even breathe.

"With His Majesty here, I wonder who among you corrupt officials would dare!?"

It was the same voice from the beginning again.

This sound always brings magical power to the people, allowing them to recover from their frightened state.

"Well said!"

"I also want to see who dares to touch my people in Daxing."

Emperor Yongyuan slapped the table with the gavel and turned his attention to the most excited civil servants from before.

He was used to bullying Emperor Yongyuan in the court, so he thought he was in the capital?

Emperor Yongyuan just asked them to see who was more wild outside the capital.

Seeing that things were a little out of control, King Zheng hurriedly continued:

"Your Majesty, I have no objection to investigating the case. It's just that the incident happened suddenly and under such harsh conditions, it may be difficult for Mr. Zhang to perform."

"Alas, your uncle's words are wrong." Emperor Yongyuan waved his hand.

"You just said that the nature of this case is egregious, and I completely agree."

"Such a case must be investigated quickly and thoroughly, otherwise it will chill the people of my country."

As soon as Emperor Yongyuan finished speaking, someone in the crowd shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Your Majesty is wise!"

In the crowd, Princess Ankang, Yu'er and the Eighth Prince couldn't stand it anymore and looked at Li Xuan with strange expressions.

Li Xuan never opened his mouth, but there were always sounds coming from his side.

Those who didn’t know thought that Princess Ankang could speak ventriloquism.

Being stared at by everyone, Li Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if it had nothing to do with him.

As soon as he started, the people in Caiyun County also started shouting.

Everyone has understood that Emperor Yongyuan is the only one in the court who is of the same mind as them.

The virtues of other people and the dog magistrate who is kneeling on the ground are not good things.

Fortunately, it was Emperor Yongyuan who spoke best.

After understanding this, the people became more confident and no longer feared the threats from the officials as before.

Emperor Yongyuan enjoyed the crowd of people for a while, then gently raised his hand, and the people immediately became quiet.

This feeling made Emperor Yongyuan very happy, and he finally felt the sense of accomplishment of being an emperor.

"Everyone in Caiyun County, don't worry, I will definitely give you justice."

When Emperor Yongyuan said this, he glanced at King Zheng inadvertently.

"But the emperor's opinion is also very reasonable, so let's do it."

"You, you, you..."

Emperor Yongyuan pointed at several civil servants who were arrogant with the people just now.

"As you help Mr. Zhang investigate the case, I will extend the time limit to seven days."

"If we don't find a satisfactory result by then, you can come together to see me."

After saying that, Emperor Yongyuan did not give them a chance to object. He slapped the crowd again and pointed at Gao Yanang and others who were kneeling below.

"Come here, behead a few of them first and show them to the public!"

"His Majesty……"

Zhang Lin and others wanted to stop him, but King Zheng stopped him with his eyes.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, please forgive me..."

Gao Yanang and other Caiyun County officials begged for mercy hysterically.

"Your Majesty, I can report the superior, and I will tell you honestly who I bribed."

"They, they all have a part!"

"..."

The eunuch in flowery clothes took everyone to the courtyard of the county government office and asked them to kneel down and wait for death.

The people stretched their necks to see, wanting to witness this scene with their own eyes.

The next moment, the knife fell.

The heads splashed a trail of blood and rolled to the gate of the county government office.

Those heads were only a few steps away from the people.

They looked at the familiar faces, with strange expressions, and felt a wave of unreality as if they were dreaming.

"Well, the dog official died well!"

This time, cheers broke out in the crowd, and no one was needed to lead.

"Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise!"

The people could not say any gorgeous words, but they all knelt down on the ground and shouted in unison.

Princess Ankang also squatted in the crowd with Li Xuan in her arms, and Yu'er and the eighth prince followed suit.

They all had a smile on their faces, but their brows were not relaxed.

The southern tour only passed through two counties, but the local magistrates were so terrible that they were hated by the gods and ghosts.

Princess Ankang and the Eighth Prince were a little scared, afraid that the whole Daxing was like this.

But at this time, they saw the lame Dianshi standing alone in a corner of the court with a dazed look.

Perhaps there were indeed many corrupt officials in Daxing, but there must be good officials.

Emperor Yongyuan also smiled and watched this scene with satisfaction.

Only by getting rid of the constraints of the court could he truly fulfill the rights and duties of the emperor.

Although this trip was dangerous, he felt that everything was worth it.

Many people were indeed numb to the court, but Emperor Yongyuan believed that as long as he worked hard, he would be able to make the people trust the court again.

The faces of Prince Zheng and the civil servants were so gloomy that water could almost drip.

Unlike Emperor Yongyuan, they felt out of control.

Emperor Yongyuan wanted to kill them all and then rebuild a bureaucratic system.

No wonder there was a group of young people without official positions accompanying the Southern Tour.

Only then did they realize that these were all Jinshi of previous years, but they had never received official positions and had been waiting for opportunities in the capital.

These were all young people who did not understand the ways of the officialdom. They passed the imperial examination but could not get official positions, naturally because they did not know how to deal with things.

Whether they could not or could not, these were not important.

The important thing was that they were not the same as the current civil service system.

After all, if these old guys did not make room, they would never be able to make a name for themselves in their lives.

After beheading Gao Yanang and others, Emperor Yongyuan immediately arranged for people to fill the vacant official positions in Caiyun County.

Zhang Chou, the former Caiyun County Dianshi, was promoted to the magistrate, and other vacant positions were filled by alternate Jinshi.

They thanked him in front of several warm headless corpses.

Emperor Yongyuan did not forget to encourage them.

"I hope you will be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, and bring more benefits to the people, but if you oppress the good and take office for nothing..."

Emperor Yongyuan stood up and raised his hand to point to the yard.

"They are your warning."
