Chapter 821: Kill Them All?

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The original owner tried hard to think of what had happened.

Later on, when he found out that yesterday, just before the auspicious time, the Consort Dowager had actually experienced a kidnapping, she was extremely afraid.

No wonder she had been feeling uneasy before the ritual began, and no wonder she was wearing that outfit after she returned.

It was her first day at the morning court, and she was already unfamiliar with the topic. She didn’t know where to start, but Prince Huai’s suggestion of executing these people gave her the best opportunity.

The original owner immediately nodded in agreement to Prince Huai’s suggestion.

“The Consort Dowager was kidnapped yesterday?” Ning Bian looked at Prince Huai, then at Consort Dowager sitting behind the beaded curtains of the main hall.

Prince Huai nodded.

After parting with Su Ji yesterday, he returned to the dilapidated temple.

Then, he led his troops overnight and surrounded Zhou Zicheng’s lair.

After sending off his beloved, Prince Huai needed to vent the frustration in his heart.

He had gone crazy from killing. He fought the entire night. They fought under the stars and the moon, brandis.h.i.+ng their sabers and splas.h.i.+ng blood. They had captured all the remaining members in one fell swoop and had only returned to the capital this morning.

He didn’t return to the residence and went straight to the main hall.

If it was someone else, it would take at least a month to complete the task, but Prince Huai only used one night.

Ning Bianyi’s tone was one of shock and regret.

Since it was a kidnapping…why was she released so quickly?

“How dare you kidnap the Consort Dowager…” Si Zhengliang sized up Zhou Zicheng and the others. His expression was as cold as the King of h.e.l.l. “That’s a capital crime that will destroy nine generations…Your Highness, please punish him severely!”

As soon as he spoke, the other ministers also echoed.

“Please punish them severely!”

Seeing all the civil and military officials looking at her, the original owner pursed her lips and nodded.

w.a.n.g Yunmian narrowed his eyes at Zhou Zicheng, who had been beaten beyond recognition.

He had long heard about this thief.

He had originally planned to rest for a few days after he returned and ask the Consort Dowager to personally lead troops to raid his lair.

He didn’t expect that in just a few days, the thief would be so bold as to kidnap the Consort Dowager!

Zhou Zicheng’s mouth was still bleeding. He wanted to spit it out, but he was immediately stopped by the soldiers behind him.

How dare he dirty the hall?

Before he could spit it out, the soldier covered his mouth. Zhou Zicheng choked and swallowed it back.

He didn’t dare to recall what he had experienced since yesterday morning!

Prince Huai was not the G.o.d of War, but the Grim Reaper. He was simply brutal and violent!

He narrowed his eyes that were swollen into two slits and looked at the dragon throne in the hall.

His heart was filled with endless sorrow.

He had never expected that his first time entering the Imperial Palace and the main hall would be under such circ.u.mstances.

It shouldn’t be…

He had once divined for himself. That divination showed that one day, he would be the one who should sit on the dragon throne!

How could he be defeated like this?

The ministers were all waiting for the original owner to decide. The original owner was worried that she might not be able to do it. She was quite smart, so she asked Prince Huai for his opinion.

Prince Huai glanced coldly at Zhou Zicheng and the others. He only said one thing, “kill them.” The original owner paused. “Kill who?”

“Kill them all.’

As soon as he said that, the scene instantly fell silent!

Wu Zhu’er was so frightened by these two words that she fainted. Her entire body went soft and she lost consciousness.

One had to know that at this moment, there were dozens of Zhou Zicheng’s trusted subordinates in the main hall alone. Outside the main hall, there were thousands of remaining members waiting to be dealt with.

Most of them had not partic.i.p.ated in the kidnapping of the Consort Dowager, and there was no lack of people who had been deceived by Zhou Zicheng’s flowery words and had just joined him.

Kill them all…

However, Prince Huai held a very important position in the court. His words were even more effective than the Consort Dowager’s decree.

Therefore, when he said “kill them all”, although no one dared to agree, no one dared to refute either.

All the officials looked at each other and gasped in their hearts. In the past, they only knew that the Consort Dowager was a two-faced person and would not have a good life if they provoked her. But now, they knew that the most ruthless person was actually Prince Huai. Thousands of lives were taken, but he did not even blink.

The coldness in his body seemed to be able to freeze one’s blood in an instant.

Even w.a.n.g Yun did not immediately agree.

After only one day, he felt that Prince Huai had changed.

In the past, his eyes were also dark, but there was desire.

But today, his eyes were like a pool of stagnant water. Something had taken away the last ray of light, leaving only ruthlessness.

The original owner had crammed up last night and learned a lot about the laws of the Great Shang.

Killing them all was indeed a little too much…

And for some reason, she actually sensed a terrifying aura from Prince Huai, similar to that of the Consort Dowager’s boyfriend in the modern world.

She wanted to retreat, but in the blink of an eye, she remembered the words she had left for her on her phone.

She couldn’t back out on the first day. What happened here now would be recorded in the history books in the future.

If she changed history, the historical records of the present world would change accordingly.

At the thought of this, the original owner mustered up her courage and took a deep breath. “Zhou Zicheng and the mastermind should indeed be killed. As for the others, I…believe that the crime is not worthy of death.”

The officials looked at each other. w.a.n.g Yun and Si Zhengliang looked at each other, and then they agreed with her.

Following that, the other ministers also agreed.

Si Zhengliang looked at Ning Bian.

They were usually on good terms, so they should be on the same side now.

However, if he were to agree with the Consort Dowager at this time, he would be going against Prince Huai. Ning Bianyi did not want to get involved in this. He cleared his throat and looked away.

Prince Huai glanced indifferently behind the beaded curtain. His tone was flat and emotionless. “Then, what is Your Highness’ plan?”

The original owner’s crafty eyes flashed. “How about this, among all the righteous men, whoever can say a single piece of evidence against Zhou Zicheng, I will spare your life.”

w.a.n.g Vilp and Si 7.henølianø nodded This was a good idea

If they were to be pardoned directly, it would indeed be too easy on those foolish righteous people and would damage the dignity of the royal family. If they could point out all of Zhou Zicheng’s crimes and obtain a pardon, it would prove that they had a heart of repentance and make the execution of Zhou Zicheng more convincing.

After all, Zhou Zicheng had yet to rebel. He could even push the matter of kidnapping Consort Dowager to Wu Zhu’er, who had already fainted.

However, if the others could stand up and testify, it would be different.

The original owner was happy to receive recognition. However, Prince Huai scoffed coldly. “Your Highness, you can give it a try. After you’re done, we’ll know if these people really deserve to die…”

The original owner gulped and braced herself to give the order to pa.s.s her decree to all the men inside and outside the hall.

In the time for an incense stick to burn, the soldier in charge of the interrogation returned.

The original owner thought that they would do it to survive, but in the end…she was greatly disappointed!
