tage. Your father put a lot of effort into helping me. After his death, I fully supported you, entrusting all the financial operations of the Duke's Mansion to you. In my eyes, although you bear the s...Chapter 562: Indignation

"The East Islands is a good small country, and all the people are barbarians, too!"

"But precisely because of this, the people of the East Asian Islands are dark, narrow-minded, and mentally twisted!"

“You, Wang Tenghuan, have served in the imperial court for decades. Every year on the coastlines of our great Qin, fishermen and commoners are invaded by the people of Dongying. They burn, kill, loot, and terrorize the citizens of our great Qin! Case after case, yet you, Wang Tenghuan, a man of high rank and power, couldn't even be bothered to glance at them!”

These people from the East Asian islands seized my Qin Dynasty's citizens. They beheaded all the men, and the women – from girls as young as seven or eight to elderly women up to sixty or seventy – were all abused by these beasts.

"These, are merely the most common acts of barbarity. Even I find it hard to speak of them!"

Li Chen pointed at Wang Tenghuan, who was grimacing in pain on the ground with a pale face, and roared, "This is the person you wanted to demonstrate the grandeur of the mighty Qin state"

“The sage said, ‘Treat people with courtesy and repay them with virtue.’”

But the premise of that statement is that the other person is an individual!

After finishing his words, Li Chen raised his head and scanned the other officials with cold eyes. "From today onwards, anyone who dares to utter such nonsense, well, this palace will drag out your wives, daughters, and families, and on them, we will repeat all the atrocities that the people of Toyo inflicted upon the commoners of our great Qin. Let's see if you can still talk about the magnanimity of a great nation, the benevolence of Qin!"

Crawling on the ground, Wang Tenghuan was in so much pain that his forehead was covered in sweat. He gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, your servant has worked tirelessly for the court for decades. Today you humiliate me like this, even if I die, I will not rest easy!"

"Sounds good."

Li Chen pointed at the dragon-shaped pillar in the Taihe Hall, which was so large that it took several adult men to embrace. He said, "Then you go die, didn't you just say that even if you died by hitting your head against a pillar, you wanted justice Today, I can't give you justice, so you'll die with regret. Show this palace how."

"Make way for Lord Wang! Let him have a clear path. I want to see if, after he dies here in the Taihe Palace, history will remember him with a stroke of brilliance."

To his misfortune, Xu Changqing happened to be standing between Wang Tenghuan and a pillar. He glanced around, then lowered his head and moved silently to the side.

It actually really let out a path, making it convenient for Wang Tenghuan to go crash.

Wang Tenghuan rolled over and sat on the ground, looking at the huge gilded red lacquered pillar. The lifelike nine-clawed golden dragon carved on it seemed to be staring at him. He then looked at Li Chen standing in front of him.

That scene was incredibly awkward for a while.

Wang Tenghuan couldn't possibly really go crash.

He doesn't want to die yet.

As the scene remained tense, a voice broke the silence.

"Your Highness, Lord Wang was just momentarily confused. Please give him another chance."

At this point, only Zhao Xuanji was left who could speak up.

He clasped his hands together and said in a gentle tone: "If it were just other barbarian tribes, that would be one thing. But the people of Eastern Japan have committed countless crimes against our great Qin Dynasty. To not punish them severely would be impossible to appease public anger. Lord Wang, don't you think it's time to apologize to His Highness"

This step, I guess it's a gift.

Wang Tenghuan didn't say a word, he flipped over and knelt on the ground, his face flushed red as he said: "Your Highness, my minister was momentarily confused. Please forgive me."

Li Chen let out a cold snort and strode towards the imperial platform.

As he walked away, his back to Wang Tenghuan, he did not forget to kill and then stab him in the heart.

"Have the Jinyiwei investigate this old man. I wonder if he's truly just confused for a moment, or if he's been bribed by the Eastern Isles."f thirty percent is levied on all. With such a low tax rate, you dare to say that you have contributed to the imperial court""If the imperial court raises taxes drastically tomorrow, let's see how yo...
