Chapter 18: Desperate Wang Xiao
On the Chengtian Palace, Qin Hao looked at the eighteen people who fell to the ground with an indifferent expression.
"How is it different from stealing the country if you dare to steal the treasury?"
"Wen Xiuwen, the next thing will be left to you to do, find out the treasure house they wrote down one by one for this king, and if the treasure house is fake, use their entire family to return it."
"Of course..."Qin Hao's voice paused, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, "If things are not good, you should know the price."
Wen Xiuwen's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he hurriedly responded, "Weichen knows, please rest assured, Your Majesty, Weichen will do his best to complete the task."
"Hmm"
Qin Hao bowed slightly, and then looked at Wei Zhongxian, "Now twenty-three of the twenty-four people who are plotting to divide the treasury have all died, but there is also a fish that has slipped through the net, go and announce it."
"Yes"
Wei Zhongxian bowed continuously, and then left the main hall.
About an hour later, Wei Zhongxian returned again, but there was Wang Jiufeng in battle armor beside him.
"The last general Wang Jiufeng visited my king, my king has a long life" Wang Jiufeng knelt down and bowed, but he was quite puzzled in his heart.
He didn't know why the king had summoned him to him.
"Could it be that last night's incident was revealed, so the monarch wants to take back my military power?"
Wang Jiufeng had a faint premonition in his heart, feeling that the monarch's summons today might be related to the meeting organized by the Bai family yesterday.
"Alas, if the monarch really wants to take back the military power, just hand it over obediently" Wang Jiufeng secretly decided.
If he can keep the military power, he is naturally reluctant to hand it over. But the current situation is that Qin Hao is even stronger, not that he or even his Wang family can contend with.
If he insisted on refusing to hand over the military power, Bai Qi alone could easily slaughter his royal family.
At this moment, the monarch suddenly spoke, "Wang Jiufeng, this king asks you, where are the spirit stones and elixirs you got from the treasury hidden now?"
"What?" Wang Jiufeng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his complexion changed greatly, and a drop of cold sweat flowed directly from his head, and he hurriedly shouted in his mouth, "Your Majesty, wronged, the minister is loyal to the kingdom, how can he do such a big rebellion?"
"Don't you admit it?" Qin Hao's face turned cold.
"Wechen is wronged, please Your Majesty is aware of everything"
Wang Jiufeng said.
Just kidding, how can you admit such a big rebellious thing? If you really admit it, let alone him, I am afraid that the entire Wang family will be killed all over the house.
Qin Hao's face became more and more cold when he heard this, "Originally, this king also planned to give you a chance, as long as you confess your sins and have a good attitude, he will let your family go, but since you are so stubborn...".
"Bai Qi..."Qin Hao suddenly shouted.
"Wechen is in"
Bai Qi knelt on one knee.
"This king orders you to immediately lead the three thousand royal city guards to the royal family, and punish the royal family for treason."
"Commanded by Ministers"
Bai Qi got up and walked out the door.
"Your Majesty, no, Your Majesty," Wang Jiufeng shouted in a panic.
Bai Qi didn't care about it, and walked straight out of the hall.
Looking at Bai Qi, who was about to leave the main hall, Wang Jiufeng was completely desperate.
A flash of madness flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Qin Hao with a hideous expression, "Faint King, go die."
Wang Jiufeng violently rose up and killed Qin Hao.
"Looking for Death"
Qin Hao was still sitting on the dragon chair with a golden sword, and his face did not change at all.
Beside him, a cold light flashed in Wei Zhongxian's eyes, and his right hand stretched out to make a flower-shape, and then waved it gently.
Sou
A cold light flashed and instantly fell on the center of Wang Jiufeng's eyebrows.
boom
Wang Jiufeng's body, which was originally rushing towards Qin Hao, was stunned, and then he fell straight to the ground.
At the center of his eyebrows, a small red dot slowly grew larger, and a drop of blood seeped out of it.
"Dead?"
"Wang Jiufeng, who is at the peak level of the congenital peak, was killed like this?"
"Another white-level powerhouse"
......
Looking at Wang Jiufeng's corpse, the faces of the ministers present all changed greatly, full of fear for Wei Zhongxian, and even more afraid of the monarch.
"Bai Qi, after the destruction of the Wang family, by the way, the military power of the Yunjing Guard Legion will also be taken back by the king."
Qin Hao's cold voice sounded in the main hall.
"Your Majesty's Orders"
Bai Qi's cold voice came.
"The Wang family is finished"
The ministers knew in their hearts that the Wang family would have no power to resist if they made a move, and they would be slaughtered in an instant.
At the same time, they also felt a sense of sadness in their hearts, the monarch had only been on the throne for three days, but two extremely powerful families had perished.
There are two flowers, one on each branch.
When Wang Jiufeng followed Wei Zhongxian into the palace to face the saint, in the Wang family's mansion in Yunjing City, Wang Xiao, the head of the Wang family, got the news as soon as possible.
"The monarch summoned Jiufeng into the palace at this time, I'm afraid it's not a good thing" Wang Xiao walked back and forth in the study, "Could it be that the matter of Fengfeng's return to the village last night was known by the monarch?"
Wang Xiao already had a faint guess in his heart, and fear continued to hit his nerves.
"If it's really last night's incident exposed, I'm afraid... My royal family is in danger."
"No, you can't sit still, you have to lay out in advance"
"Come, immediately summon all the elders to the ancestral hall to hold a clan meeting, the situation is extremely urgent, let all the elders go to the ancestral hall as soon as possible"
Wang Xiao immediately walked out of the study and said to a clansman guarding the door.
"Yes, my lord"
The people hurried away.
A quarter of an hour later, at the ancestral hall of the Wang family, nineteen congenital-level elders of the Wang family gathered here, plus Wang Xiao was exactly twenty people.
"My lord, what is the matter with summoning us in such a hurry?"
At the lower right of the main seat, the gray-bearded Great Elder of the Wang Family looked at Wang Xiao and asked lightly.
Regarding the Great Elder's inquiry, Wang Xiao didn't even glance at it, but his eyes swept over the audience, and his brows furrowed slightly, "Why haven't the Third Elder and the Seventh Elder arrived?"
"Lord Qi Qi Family Master!" one of the clansmen replied, "The Third Elder and the Seventh Elder went out today, but they were not found."
"Since that's the case, I won't wait for them" Wang Xiao nodded slightly, then looked at the elders and said with a solemn expression, "I have summoned you here this time because there is a major event that may happen that is related to the life and death of my Wang family...".
boom
At this moment, an object suddenly appeared out of nowhere and rolled to Wang Xiao's feet.
"What is this?"
"It smells of blood"
All the high-ranking members of the Wang family present looked at the object, only to see that it was a rag, which was round and round, and I don't know what was wrapping.
Open
Wang Xiao ordered, and a member of the Houtian clan who was guarding the door hurriedly stepped forward and untied the rags.
"This is the third child?"
The rags were untied, revealing what was wrapped inside, it was a head, the hair was a little gray, it looked not young, and a handful of goatee was particularly conspicuous, and everyone present was immediately shocked when they saw it.
boom
At this moment, another package was thrown in, and everyone untied it, and inside was also a head.
"It's the seventh"
"Who is it, who dares to do it to my royal family elders?"
At this moment, all the elders were furious.
The Innate Elder was the mainstay of the family, and now he had lost two of them, which was also an extremely significant loss for the Wang family.
"It's the king"
On the seat of the head of the family, Wang Xiao sat limp and slumped, with a flash of remorse in his eyes.
"What?
The originally chaotic ancestral hall instantly fell silent.
"Quick, arrange for the young clansmen to leave the secret passage immediately with the important inheritance items of the clan"
Immediately after, an elder quickly arranged.
Soon, in the originally peaceful Wang family's mansion, a young clan member was summoned and entered the secret passage one after another with the important inheritance objects of each vein.
However, half an hour later, when the people behind entered the secret passage, they found that the secret passage was already covered with bones, and all the items they were carrying had long since disappeared.
When the news entered the Wang family, the entire Wang family instantly shook and fell into a panic.
"The younger brother of the head of the Wang family, Wang Jiufeng, the commander of the city guards, embezzled the treasury without permission, and even assassinated the current monarch in the court, committing the crime of extermination. At the behest of our king, the general will come to destroy the royal family, and all the idle people shall not appear within the three zhang of the royal family, otherwise they will be punished as accomplices."
An hour later, Bai Qi's cold voice sounded in the sky above the Wang family, and then quickly spread to the surroundings.
"It's over, my Wang family is finished"
In the ancestral hall of the head of the family, Wang Xiao knelt in front of the ancestral tablet with a pale face, with endless regret in his heart.
