Chapter 39: Chapter 39 - I am the King's Law_1

Song Ying shouted "long live the Emperor" and buried his head to the g, absolute terror consuming his face. He originally thought this was just a minor case of a spoiled young man trying to seize someone else's property. Only because he was the son of the Prime Minister, he gave it some respect, but he never expected that Chu Yuan would appear. If he hadn't expericed the beast wave, he wouldn't be so afraid. But after the battle with the beast wave, Song Ying came to understand the boundless and tyrannical divine might of Chu Yuan. Ev though he was the prefecture magistrate and a master of the Divine Realm, if he upset the Emperor, his fate would surely be extremely miserable. "Your... Your Majesty!" Li Yu was also stunned. "Long live the Emperor! Long live! Long live!" With the presce of the Emperor, every single person in the prefecture knelt down in panic, their faces undergoing dramatic change. "Rise," Chu Yuan commanded, his face devoid of expression. He slowly said, "Prefect Song, is this your verdict?" "Your Majesty!" Song Ying trembled with fear. He hurriedly ushered Chu Yuan to the highest seat on the platform while he stood there with a bt back. "I've failed in my duties. Ev though the deeds are on paper and black ink, they can also be forged. I will investigate this case again and surely give the Liu Family justice." "No need. I will personally review this case." Chu Yuan waved his hand, his gaze falling on Li Yu and the old man. He said, "Liu's housekeeper, I will see justice done in your case. If you have any grievances, you can say them frankly. I have said before, under the feet of the Emperor, there is still the rule of the king, and I am that rule." "Your Majesty, it was all Li Yu's coercion. If we refused to sell, he threated to make it impossible for the Liu Family to move an inch within the Imperial City!" The old man g his teeth in fury. "Do not try to frame me with your words!" Li Yu, after all, was the son of the Prime Minister. He calmed down from his shock and, thinking of the power his father held in the court, he couldn't be too afraid. He stated directly: "The deed is in black and , the evidce is solid. Ev if you are the Emperor, you must reason!" "Speaking of evidce, let me talk to you about evidce." Chu Yuan addressed him. "Several months ago, I promulgated a law through the six ministries that any major transaction related to the ancestral property and treasures of the previous Shwu Army must be approved by me. All deeds not reported to the Royal Palace are invalid. Prefect Song, do you remember this law? As for the Prime Minister, who's head of all officials, he should be clear about this law." "Yes, indeed there is!" Song Ying remembered. "You?" Chu Yuan shook his head: "You failed your duties and thus bear the mark of guilt. Moreover, you don't possess the ability to handle this matter alone. I will assign Marquis Zhonyong, Lu Qianfu, who is currtly in charge of the Shwu Army, to thoroughly investigate this case. I believe he will act impartially." "Yes, Your Majesty!" Song Ying felt as if he had eat the bitterest fruit and was at a loss for words. Today, he was completely outdone by Li Yu and was implicated because of him. "This Li Yu, not only did he sabotage his father, but he also doesn't know how many families and clans in the Imperial City he has implicated. Sigh, having Lu Qianfu investigate, as someone close to the Emperor and not at all willing to do favors, there's bound to be a huge upheaval in the city after today, and many heads will roll." Song Ying sighed lightly, glad that he had always be careful in his actions, not accepting what he should not have, and not getting involved in this. He already had a premonition that this issue would implicate numerous people. Many high-ranking officials in the court must know that the 300,000 Shwu Army was the lifeblood of the previous Emperor. They were very much favored, and their rewards were also the best. Where there is treasure, there will be thieves. Before Chu Yuan displayed his divine might, many people believed that the downfall of Dawu was only a matter of time. Therefore, they extded their hands towards those people, each wanting to gain something. But the Shwu Army was forever a taboo for Dawu. "Ding! The host completed Choice , earned 0 Destiny Points, and the construction progress of the War God's Grip blueprint increased by %." In the System Space, a pair of hands that seemed to belong to the War God appeared. Ev though it was only a % completion, he could already feel an ormous atmosphere as if it could grasp the sky. "It looks like a pair of gloves." Chu Yuan muttered to himself. "Unexpectedly, His Majesty is willing to confront the Prime Minister for the sake of the Shwu Army. This is truly an Emperor worthy of admiration by the people!" "With such an Emperor, what harm is there in sacrificing our lives for the country!" "Let's go, let's go. The Shwu Army is still recruiting warriors. Those who meet the cultivation requiremts can join the Shwu!" ... Hearing these voices, a faint smile appeared on Chu Yuan's face. Ev if you join the Shwu Army and die in battle, you will have no worries afterward. Today, he took a firm stand and inevitably stirred up a huge wave in the court, meanwhile winning over the hearts of many people. Originally, he had no excuse to investigate those high-ranking officials. He did not expect Li Yu to provide him with this opportunity. What a self-sabotaging kid, successfully sabotaging a handful of fathers. "Song Ying, I'm clear about your thoughts. Wei Sh is a lesson from the past. If you want to make up for your mistakes, cooperate well with Marquis Zhonyou." With these words, Chu Yuan stepped forward, disappearing from the prefecture.
