The envoys from Sangnan and Beixiang were heading towards Daxia, but an assassination occurred between the two countries.

They started by killing the families with the heaviest sins. Overnight, all the guilty people in the mansion were killed.

Not only that, their crimes were posted all over the city.

At first it was just one incident, but later it became one incident every three days, causing those noble families to feel insecure.

The emperors of the two countries sent more people to investigate the matter and hunt down the murderer, but they had no clues.

The people of both countries were laughing at the joke. After all, it had nothing to do with them. The ones who suffered were the aristocratic families.

In the court of Daxia, Zhou Hui looked at the memorials on the table and said with a smile: "I heard that many people died in Sangnan and Beixiang? I wonder when it will be Daxia's turn."

"Do you think there is such a divine judge? Has he come to Daxia?"

After these words were spoken, the ministers in the court knelt down hurriedly, feeling extremely frightened.

"You're kneeling down like that? Don't worry! As long as you haven't committed any murder, arson, bullying, or corruption, nothing should happen to you."

"If you do something like this, I suggest you wash your neck and prepare to die!"

Zhou Hui smiled as he looked at everyone, seeing the emotions on their faces, it was so colorful.

Only Shi Jing had no expression, as if it was none of his business.

"Your Majesty, these thieves are killing innocent people indiscriminately. Please order their execution!"

Duke Qin knocked his head to the ground, his tone full of anger and fear.

Hearing this, Zhou Hui laughed out loud. He said, "I know what kind of personalities you have in private."

"It's better if they die! You families who keep private soldiers should be dealt with first."

"Otherwise, I will kill you according to your family tree and wipe you out."

Zhou Hui stood up and looked at the officials in the court with a bright smile.

What does it mean that emperors come and go, but the aristocratic families remain forever?

This will never work for him, he wants to eradicate all these families.

"emperor."

Duke Qin fell to the ground, his eyes filled with despair.

The emperor also comes from a noble family, why would he treat them like this?

"Retreat!"

The people serving Zhou Hui were no longer eunuchs, but Yin Ren, Xue An and others.

After returning to the Xuanzheng Hall, Zhou Hui called the Minister of Justice Dai Liting and handed him the new law he had formulated.

"This is the new law I have enacted."

“This is just the first version, and it will be continuously optimized and supplemented in the future.”

It was impossible for Zhou Hui to do everything for them. He just combined and optimized the modern laws with the original laws of Dongqing to form the latest laws of Daxia.

"Yes! I will go back and study it carefully."

Dai Liting was shocked. He didn't expect the emperor to have such ability.

Military affairs, economics, politics, it seems like there is nothing he doesn't know.

"Ok!"

Zhou Hui nodded and continued reading the memorial, completely ignoring him.

Dai Liyan put away the memorial and asked quietly, "Your Majesty, are you really going to deal with those noble families?"

"Ah."

Zhou Hui nodded. He had long wanted to deal with these aristocratic families.

Not only did they monopolize books, they also monopolized the path to upward mobility.

In the past, in Dongqing, all the famous colleges were supported by aristocratic families.

Because they are rich and well-connected.

In this way, all educated people belong to their influence.

When he first established the library, he was attacked by the aristocratic families.

However, how could anyone attack his shop?

At that time, he found a lot of things to do for these noble families.

Therefore, the first thing he did after taking office was to kill the aristocratic families.

In the main house of the Cui family, all the noble families who stayed in Kyoto sat together, their faces full of sorrow.

"Do you think the emperor is serious?"

The Zhao family's young master's brows were almost knotted. Judging from the emperor's expression, it didn't seem like he was joking.

"What do you mean by serious? Shaohua, you are still too young. Haven't you heard that aristocratic families are permanent, but dynasties are transient?"

The head of the Wang family smiled disdainfully.

The aristocratic families were divided into four countries and controlled important powers such as the dynasty's economy, culture, and military power.

They let the Zhou family be the emperor, and only they, the Zhou family, can do it.

"Really? Do you think the current emperor is very similar to the previous emperor?"

"The emperor has the Black Spirit Army. All they need to do is pull the trigger lightly and a bloody hole will appear on your head."

Zhao Shaohua, the young master of the Zhao family, stood up and looked at everyone sarcastically.

"We are all smart people. We won't be so naive as to think that the noble families of Sangnan and Beixiang were helped by others to do good deeds!"

Zhao Shaohua stood up, straightened his clothes, and prepared to leave.

The Cui family's patriarch looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Where are you going?"

"You are such a meddlesome person! Where I go is none of your business."

Zhao Shaohua left the Cui family and went straight into the palace.

When Zhao Shaohua arrived at the Xuan Zheng Hall, Xue An and the others were wondering how they could scald the pot.

"Your Highness, may the Emperor be well and safe!"

Zhao Shaohua didn't expect that this would be the scene after he came in.

The Minister of Revenue, the Emperor, Xue'an, Yin Ren and others are eating from the hot pot.

"Get up! Xue'an, go get a set of bowls and chopsticks for Master Zhao, so we can eat together."

Zhou Hui continued to eat from the pot, paying no attention to Zhao Shaohua at all.

After Xue'an went to get the bowls and chopsticks, Zhou Hui said, "Get up! Come and eat the hotpot. Xue'an's skills, Shi Jing used to carry the meat himself."

"Your Majesty, you are too polite! It was mainly because you were poor at that time, and you always told me to bring my own food. After a long time, I got used to it."

Shi Jing kept talking, but his hands never stopped moving.

Ever since he had his meal at the emperor's place, his stomach has become bloated.

"Humph! You're just greedy. Next time, if you don't bring any food, you won't be allowed to eat."

Xuean placed the dishes and chopsticks next to Shi Jing and glared at Shi Jing angrily.

This guy is really interesting. He can even find a reason to eat for free.

"Mr. Zhao, please use it!"

Xue An smiled at Zhao Shaohua, turned around and sat down in his seat.

Zhao Shaohua: ?????

"Mr. Zhao, come over and use it together!"

Zhao Shaohua came over only after Zhou Hui spoke, but he was extremely scared.

Shi Jing patted the seat next to him and said with a smile, "Young Master Zhao, please sit down! The emperor asked you to sit down, so there is something to discuss."

"If there was nothing to talk about, you wouldn't be here."

Zhao Shaohua thought to himself, if the emperor wanted to kill him, would he waste a pot?

Shi Jing picked up some meat with chopsticks for him, and said like a host, "Come, eat! Xue'an's cooking skills are pretty good."

"Yes! Thank you, Master Shi."

Zhao Shaohua glanced at Shi Jing and saw that he was as relaxed as if he was at home.

"Your Majesty, does this matter between Sangnan and Beixiang have anything to do with you?"

After he finished speaking, Zhao Shaohua's hand trembled and the chopsticks fell to the ground.

Xue An stood up and kindly brought him a new pair of chopsticks, saying with a smile, "Mr. Zhao, how come you can't even hold the chopsticks steadily?"

"Thank you, Miss Xue'an."

Zhao Shaohua was in mixed feelings; he always felt like he was in a fantasy world.

After hearing these things, will he be silenced?
