Chapter 7 Killing the Nine Tribes
Ye Jiuxing did not receive the reward immediately.
He still had something very important to do, so after entering Yongcheng, he went straight to the general's mansion.
Cut off the roots!
Si Yong is dead!
But his family members are still alive and well, separated by the Yin and Yang, how can this be possible?
Ye Jiuxing is a good man who likes to do good deeds, so naturally he wants to give Si Yong's family a ride so that the whole family can be reunited.
boom!
Cut out with one sword.
The gate of the general's mansion was broken.
Bai Qi waved his hand, and a team of blood-stained Qin warriors rushed in, killing anyone they saw. There were continuous and shrill screams, echoing throughout the place.
Ye Jiuxing listened to the screams without changing his expression.
Kill!
death!
Once he embarks on this path, his hands are destined to be stained with blood.
Not far away, there were many Yongcheng officials gathered, all of them with pale faces, looking at Ye Jiuxing with eyes full of fear and awe.
Kill the chicken and show it to the monkey!
Yong County was very large. In addition to Yongcheng, it had seven county towns under its jurisdiction, with a small number of city guards stationed there.
Ye Jiuxing wanted to tell everyone by killing the entire clan that you'd better be honest, don't make trouble secretly, and don't think about being a fence-sitter, otherwise, this will be the end.
Half a minute later, the screams stopped and the pungent smell of blood filled the air.
"Lord Hou, it's all resolved!"
A Qin warrior stepped forward and knelt on one knee.
"go!"
Ye Jiuxing smiled warmly, but did not enter the general's mansion. He ordered majestically: "Go to the City Lord's Mansion! Notify all the officials in Yongcheng, big and small, to gather at the City Lord's Mansion!"
"As ordered!"
Ye An saluted, waved his hand, and disappeared with his men.
The army changed its route!
Quickly take control of the City Lord’s Mansion!
This is the core of a city and also Ye Jiuxing’s temporary base.
Entering the main hall, Ye Jiuxing looked around and found a map of the Dayu Dynasty hanging on the wall, recording the two capitals, eight states and forty-seven counties of Dayu. It had a vast territory and a population numbering in the hundreds of millions.
Ye Jiuxing stood in front of the map, with his hands behind his back, studying it carefully.
Two capitals.
It is the imperial capital of Dayu, Yujing, and the ancestral land, Luojing.
The former is the country's power organ, while the latter is the birthplace of the Dayu royal family. The construction of ancestral temples, temples of heaven, mausoleums, etc. are more symbolic.
The Eight States are the territory of Dayu, stretching over thousands of miles. It is difficult for ordinary people to cross it in their lifetime.
On the surface, they are all under the rule of the Dayu court.
But the reality is not so.
At least, Ye Jiuxing read the original owner's memory and knew that beneath the powerful surface of the Dayu Dynasty, there were actually undercurrents, and there were also sects, kings, cults and other forces entrenched.
These forces often pretend to obey the imperial court's orders but actually disobey them.
only.
Under the suppression of the original owner, he just behaved docilely and well-behaved.
Ye Jiuxing even suspected that the reason why the empress dared to take action against him so openly was that these forces were behind the scenes fanning the flames.
Officials kept coming into the house.
They saw Ye Jiuxing staring at the map and did not dare to disturb him. They stood respectfully on both sides according to the size of their official positions.
Many people's legs were shaking, they were nervous and complained secretly.
What a shame!
Although they were far away from the center, they were well aware of the conflict between Ye Jiuxing and the empress, who were mortal enemies. The empress was also cruel enough to capture all nine clans of Ye Jiuxing and kill them for a day and a night.
I heard that the executioner's knife was bent!
Now that Ye Jiuxing has occupied Yongcheng, how could he give up?
It's not hard to imagine.
In the following period of time, Yongcheng will become the center of the vortex of power struggle.
Where should these people go?
"Is everyone here?"
Half a minute later, Ye Jiuxing turned around, sat in the upper seat, glanced at everyone and asked, "Reply to the Marquis!"
Ye An stepped out of the line and bowed, saying, "Except for the county magistrate, everyone else is here!"
Ye Jiuxing raised his eyebrows, tapped the armrest with his fingers, and said in a low voice, indifferently: "Not coming? That means he has something to hide! Ye An, take someone to go there and kill the whole clan!"
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat.
And kill the whole clan?
They secretly rejoiced that they had come!
"As ordered!"
Ye An was slightly stunned, then quickly bowed.
He felt that after this great change, Ye Jiuxing had changed a lot. Compared with before, he became more domineering, bloodthirsty, cold, arbitrary, and unreasonable.
But to be honest, Ye Jiuxing now looks more like a hero.
kindness?
Kind?
For a hero, that is not a shining point, but a flaw!
Ye An left and started a killing in the city again.
Inside the palace.
The atmosphere became increasingly heavy and suffocating.
Ye Jiuxing looked at everyone and said in a cold voice: "I will give you two choices! First, surrender now and be loyal to me, you can continue to be an official. If you make contributions in the future, I will reward you according to your merits and make you a marquis or a prime minister, no problem!"
"Second, if you resign now and retire, I will not stop you, and I will not settle accounts with you later. However, you cannot leave Yong County. Just be an ordinary citizen and no one will touch you!"
"Of course"
Ye Jiuxing's eyes narrowed, and he said in a cold voice: "If any of you are loyal to the imperial court and want to rebel against me, you can, but if you fail, I will kill all nine of your clans!"
"If nine clans are not enough, then hunt down ten clans. Kill all those who have any connection with you!"
boom!
The tone was cold and contained endless murderous intent.
In an instant, the temperature in the hall dropped drastically, making people feel cold both physically and mentally, freezing them to the bone.
Such a strong murderous nature.
Everyone was wailing in their hearts and couldn't make up their minds.
Is it surrender?
Or leave?
"I am willing to be loyal to the Lord!"
After a moment of silence, the leading county magistrate sighed secretly, knelt on the ground, and chose to surrender.
They don't really have much choice.
surrender!
You can keep your official position, enjoy wealth and glory, the only risk is to follow Ye Jiuxing in rebellion. If you fail, you will get the Nine Clans Elimination Game, but if you succeed, you will become a founding father.
The risk is high, but so is the reward!
As for resigning, they cannot leave Yong County. Even if Ye Jiuxing is defeated in the future, can they really stay out of trouble?
Most likely they will be considered accomplices!
if not.
Why do you stay in Yong County and not leave? Why don't you go to serve the court?
The key point is that Ye Jiuxing's murderous intent had already frightened him and he didn't dare to refuse at all.
"I am also willing to serve the Marquis!"
"The empress is disloyal and murders loyal people. I am willing to follow the marquis and overthrow Dayu."
Everyone looked at each other and chose to surrender.
No one resigned.
Ye Jiuxing looked at everyone and said coldly: "Remember your choice today. Since you have chosen to surrender, you must know what you can and cannot do! Today, I will explain it to you clearly! Listen to me and reward according to merit! Those who disobey orders and stab in the back will die! All nine clans will die!"
"As ordered!"
Everyone salutes.
"Go back!"
Ye Jiuxing waved his hand and said, "Everyone should do their job! By the way, your office will be in the General's Mansion from now on!"
General's Mansion?
Everyone's heart skipped a beat. Could the blood have dried up yet?
No one dared to refuse, and they left respectfully. When they walked out of the City Lord's Mansion and stood under the scorching sun, they felt a hint of warmth.
After everyone left, Ye Jiuxing went to the secret room, sat cross-legged, and said impatiently:
"System, receive your cultivation!"
