Chapter 461

Imperial Study.

Wu Zhao looked cold, wearing a black dragon robe, her whole body filled with endless majesty.

She held the memorials in her hand, the more she looked, the angrier she became.

Bang!

Wu Zhao slapped the dragon desk, her phoenix eyes full of killing intent!

"This murderer is simply arrogant!"

Seeing this, Shangguan Wan'er said, "Why is Your Majesty so furious?"

Wu Zhao looked at Shangguan Wan'er with endless ferocity in her eyes.

"It's enough that this murderer wiped out the Li family, but he actually dared to leave a line of blood on the wall: 'I am the Crossing River Dragon Tian Ye; if the court wants to arrest, arrest me alone!'"

"What is this?"

"So-called Jianghu righteousness, riding above my Da Qian laws?"

"And in the past three years, the vendettas and killings in Jianghu have increased year by year; it is simply lawless!"

Shangguan Wan'er also looked surprised, her expression changing.

Even she had to say that this Crossing River Dragon Tian Ye was too arrogant!

Wiping out the Li family and actually daring to leave his name!

This was undoubtedly a contempt for the court and a huge insult!

"Your Majesty, Minister of the Supreme Court Lu Wen and Minister of Justice Wang Yifan request an audience."

The eunuch's respectful voice came.

Since Minister of Justice Lei Yun was killed for participating in the rebellion, the Minister of Justice position was taken by Wang Yifan, the former Vice Minister of Justice who had been squeezed out by Lei Yun and the Prince of Rong and demoted to his hometown.

He had only arrived in Changancheng two days ago to take over as Minister of Justice.

Wu Zhao looked cold and waved her dragon robe, "Send them in!"

Soon, Lu Wen and Wang Yifan stepped into the Imperial Study.

"Your subject Lu Wen, pays respects to Your Majesty!"

"Your subject Wang Yifan, pays respects to Your Majesty!"

Seeing Wu Zhao, the two bowed in unison.

Wu Zhao looked down coldly, "I summoned you here; you should know why, right?"

Wang Yifan lowered his body and said carefully, "Is Your Majesty referring to the Li family being exterminated by a Jianghu expert?"

"The murderer dared to leave his name; do the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court have any clues now?"

Wu Zhao said coldly.

Once these words were out, Lu Wen and Wang Yifan's expressions turned ugly.

Seeing this, Lu Wen bit the bullet and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, these Jianghu people are desperate criminals with no fixed abode. After the murderer wiped out the Li family, he disappeared without a trace!"

"But the Supreme Court is conducting a comprehensive investigation!"

Wang Yifan also followed up, "The Ministry of Justice is also doing its best to investigate; we will definitely capture this murderer, behead him, and display his head to rectify the majesty of our Da Qian laws!"

Hearing this, the anger in Wu Zhao's heart grew even stronger.

"So a whole night has passed, and you haven't even locked onto the murderer's identity information?"

Hearing the anger in Wu Zhao's voice, the two didn't dare to speak.

Wu Zhao looked at the two with cold phoenix eyes, containing no emotion.

"This Crossing River Dragon dared to leave his name. If we can't catch him, won't all the Jianghu people follow suit? This is a provocation to my Da Qian laws!"

"Within seven days, I must see the head of this Crossing River Dragon!"

"Otherwise, I will blame you two!"

Lu Wen and Wang Yifan nodded repeatedly, guaranteeing.

"Your subject obeys the decree!"

"Your subject obeys the decree!"

Wang Yifan hesitated but said, "Your Majesty, capturing this Crossing River Dragon is certainly the top priority, but I feel that these Jianghu people cannot be ignored!"

"I read the files and found that in the past three years, these Jianghu people have been killing and robbing more frequently year by year. If this trend is not curbed, it will definitely become more rampant!"

"This is the root of this vicious extermination incident!"

Wu Zhao looked at Wang Yifan more.

Although this person had been suppressed, he was indeed a talented person.

However, it was clear that he had only recently been transferred back to Changancheng, which was why he didn't know about Gao Yang's poisonous scheme.

Wu Zhao said coldly, "I have another candidate for curbing the Jianghu people. You two just need to hunt down this Crossing River Dragon and turn him into a dead dragon!"

Wang Yifan was instantly confused.

Another candidate for curbing the Jianghu people?

As for Lu Wen, his mouth twitched fiercely, remembering Gao Yang's poisonous scheme to take revenge on the Jianghu people!

Lu Wen sighed in his heart, this time I fear no one can stop the Living Yama from acting.

At this moment, the eunuch's voice rang out.

"Your Majesty, Minister of Revenue Gao Yang has arrived outside the hall!"

Hearing this, Wu Zhao turned to Lu Wen and Wang Yifan, "You two go down first."

Wang Yifan came outside the Imperial Study and couldn't help but ask Lu Wen.

"Minister Lu, who is the candidate Your Majesty mentioned for dealing with the Jianghu people?"

Lu Wen looked at Wang Yifan; after all, he was one of the six ministers of the court, so he was very polite.

"In all of Da Qian, besides that Living Yama in the Duke of Ding Prefecture, who else could it be?"

"And this poisonous scheme to curb the Jianghu people has long existed!"

Lu Wen said directly, leaving Wang Yifan stunned.

"I have heard some of the Living Yama's name, but where does this poisonous scheme to curb the Jianghu people come from?"

Lu Wen explained, "Minister Wang, you don't know, because this scheme was not implemented, but it was a poisonous scheme specifically created by the Minister of Revenue after he was assassinated by Jianghu people!"

"This scheme is called the Root-Extirpation Scheme, and it is quite vicious!"

"Simply put, it is to create a martial arts manual, hype it up as the number one martial arts manual in Jianghu, and once it is released, it will attract Jianghu people to fight for it. The court will secretly add fuel to the fire and catch them all in one net. By then, there will definitely be countless casualties, which will significantly reduce the number of Jianghu experts!"

Wang Yifan's eyes lit up, full of admiration.

"Minister Gao is truly a genius; this scheme is wonderful!"

Lu Wen shook his head, his expression moved, "That's not even the half of it. The most ruthless part is that this manual is called the Sunflower Manual, and he wrote on the first page: 'To practice this art, one must first castrate oneself!'"

"These Jianghu experts, if they don't practice, they feel itchy; if they practice, they fall into the trap!"

"What?"

Wang Yifan was suddenly shocked.

His eyes widened as he looked at Lu Wen, and then at the three inches below the abdomen of the eunuchs around the Imperial Study.

The eunuchs were stiff, wanting to hide but not daring to.

They could only show stiff smiles on their faces.

"Hiss!"

Wang Yifan gasped.

At this moment, Gao Yang walked over from a distance.

Seeing Lu Wen and Wang Yifan, he showed a kind smile.
