The Nine Kings glared at Yan Qi: "Chen Tao is my favorite general. You kill him whenever you ask. But do you take this king into your eyes?"
Yan Qi did not give Jiu Wang any face, and responded tit for tat: "Chen Tao's crimes are extremely evil, but Jiu Wang uses them liberally. Jiu Wang, have you ever taken the laws of Dahua in your eyes?"
"you……"
The Nine Kings were so suffocated that they could not speak.
Yan Qi's words were strong and powerful.
No matter how great your reputation as the Nine Princes is, can it still be greater than the Law of Dahua?
All the officials had to admire Yan Qi's sharp tongue and quick thinking.
It seems that Yan Qi's mighty and domineering character is well-deserved.
The Nine Kings shouted angrily: "What crime did Chen Tao commit, yet he was killed by you with one knife?"
Yan Qi put Chen Tao's charges in front of the general: "Chen Tao has committed corruption, murder, and treason. There are both personal and material evidence. Which of these crimes is not the death penalty? Isn't it reasonable for me to kill him?"
When Jiuwang saw the thick accusation, he glared at Xia Ming blankly: "Okay, I misjudged you. It turns out that you are from Yan Qi. I really underestimated you."
Xia Mingyi spoke righteously: "I am dedicated to the country, and no one has the right to look down on me. Of course, I am also a person of Lord Yan, because Lord Yan is the white jade pearl of Dahua. When I am sent by Lord Yan, it is for Dahua." What’s wrong with people making profits?”
"you……"
The Nine Kings stared angrily: "How dare you talk to me like this? Who do you think you are?"
Xia Ming said forcefully: "I am Lord Yan's pioneer. If you are not satisfied with my attitude, just complain to Lord Yan. Also, I am the prefect of Hongcheng. I have the final say in Hongcheng's affairs. I will enforce the law impartially. Why? Is this wrong? Do we still want to listen to your arbitrary orders?"
"You...you..."
The Nine Kings were blushing.
Unexpectedly, Xia Ming was so stubborn and dared to challenge him.
A group of officials also suddenly discovered that Xia Ming was no longer cowardly, but had become domineering and dishonest.
Everyone's impression of him changed instantly.
Xia Ming's image became more powerful.
Yan Qi gave a thumbs up: "Xia Fuyin is indeed a learned scholar who once served as Minister of the Ministry of Industry. His words are sonorous and powerful, which I admire."
Xia Ming was also very happy.
Paralyzed and cowardly for so many years, I finally let out a bad breath.
He bowed to Yan Qi: "With Lord Yan charging forward, I have nothing to fear. In this life, I will follow Lord Yan to the death."
These words are definitely spoken from the heart.
Xia Mingke is frustrated
for ten years.
Since the death of Cao Rui and Cao Chunqiu, everything in the Dahua court has changed.
The eight kings are all alone.
Xia Ming could only act like a turtle.
Even if he is a dragon, he still has to coil up, and even if he is a tiger, he still has to lie down and not move.
Even though he didn't move, he was punished miserably by the Eight Kings.
If Yan Qi hadn't come out of nowhere to confront the Eight Kings, he would have been in hell now, and even his precious daughter would have been sent to the Jiaofang Department to be abused by others.
It has been ten years, but today I finally feel proud and proud, and even dare to challenge the Nine Kings face to face.
Being so domineering is a world of difference compared to the embarrassing situation he once was.
Cool!
The most aggrieved person is the Nine Kings.
He really didn't expect that even if Yan Qi had a tough attitude, even the little Xia Ming would take the medicine.
What happened to Miaojiang?
As the big boss of Miao Jiang, he was ordered around by Xia Ming.
Inverted!
The Nine Kings must find their place, otherwise, where will they put their face?
He stared at Yan Qi: "Even if Chen Tao has committed a capital crime, he still has to wait for my signature before the death penalty can be carried out. How can you kill him just as you say?"
Yan Qi asked, "Why do I have to wait for your signature before I can kill Chen Tao?"
The Nine Kings were arrogant: "Because I am the Nine Kings and I have the final say."
This is the final word.
Yan Qi laughed loudly: "If you want to say that, then I won't be polite."
The Nine Kings were furious: "I see how rude you are."
Yan Qi unbuttoned his clothes, revealing the yellow mantle underneath.
He held the imperial edict in his left hand and drew Shang Fang's sword in his right hand.
When the officials saw him, they hurriedly knelt down.
When the Nine Kings saw it, their scalp went numb immediately: "Yan Qi, you..."
"What are you?"
Yan Qi glared at the Nine Kings: "I am the emperor's imperial envoy. I am here to inspect on behalf of the emperor. I have the Holy Oracle in my left hand and the Shangfang sword in my right hand. When you see me, you won't kneel down if you see the emperor? Do you want to rebel?"
"this……"
The Nine Kings were so filled with hatred that they felt itchy.
no way.
Plop!
The Nine Kings knelt in front of Yan Qi.
Yan Qi looked at the nine kings kneeling in front of him and smiled: "I am an imperial envoy, representing the emperor in person, and I have the power to kill or seize him. Do you think I can kill the guilty minister Chen Tao?"
Jiu Wang held back a breath of bad breath, gasped and frowned: "Yes, Master Yan can kill Chen Tao."
Yan Qi leaned down and looked at Jiu Wang, who was holding back his face and said, "Do I still need your permission to kill Chen Tao?"
Jiu Wang gritted his teeth, his veins exposed: "No, no need."
"This is the end."
Yan Qi laughed loudly and waved his hand: "My lords, why are you still kneeling? Get up."
Only then did all the officials stand up.
The Nine Kings were the first to stand up. They were unwilling to give up and grinned: "Yan Qi, even if you are an imperial envoy with the power of life and death, you must also respect the laws of the Miao Territory, right? After all, the various ethnic groups and customs of the Miao Territory are different. Human relationships are different from those in the Central Plains. If you don’t discuss these matters with me, you are being arbitrary and willful."
Yan Qidao: "I admit that the customs and culture of the Miao border are very different from those of the Central Plains. But if you say that I am arbitrary and willful, I will have a good talk with you."
The Nine Kings sneered: "Did I say something wrong?"
Yan Qidao: "Chen Tao has committed a capital crime. Is it my idea to kill Chen Tao alone? No, no, it is the idea of all the officials in Hongcheng. Dahua and I have reached an agreement."
"Moreover, when Chen Tao was killed, all the officials were supervisors! Rather than saying that I killed Chen Tao, it would be better to say that the Hongcheng officials worked together to get rid of the criminal. And I was just following the good deeds."
"Nine Kings, I obey the opinions of Hongcheng officials and people so much, and you still say that I am arbitrary and willful? Haha, can I say that you are farting?"
"You... Yan Qi, you... you..."
The Nine Kings were so choked by Yan Qi that they were speechless.
The Nine Kings asked a group of officials: "You together supervised the execution and beheaded Chen Tao?"
The officials had no choice but to express their stance: "Yes!"
The Nine Kings were furious: "You... you are a bunch of trash, idiots, beasts, you are simply... simply..."
The Nine Kings cursed angrily and walked away.
Although the officials did not dare to contradict the Nine Kings, how could they feel better after being scolded by the Nine Kings as useless, stupid, and beasts?
They slandered and scolded Jiuwang for giving birth to a son without a butt and eyes.
Now that they have offended the Nine Kings, they can only follow Yan Qi from now on.
Yan Qi saw everyone's anxiety and said with a smile: "Killing Chen Tao is to eliminate harm for the people. You don't need to be afraid. As long as you are upright and selfless and serve the public, I will uphold justice for you."
"Master Xie Yan."
Everyone took a reassurance and felt much better.
Unknowingly, people's hearts turned towards Yan Qi.
