Chapter 998

In front of a stall, an old woman wearing tattered, patched clothes that had faded to white bent over. Although she felt a bit pained, she still said to a yamen runner.

"Old lady, you are really embarrassing me. The Living Yama is secretly visiting the world, and Suiyang Commandery is littered with corpses; from the Commandant down to the yamen runners, no one is unkillable!"

"You are harming me. You must take this silver. In the entire Great Qian now, how many people still dare to eat and take things without paying?"

The yamen runner handed over a piece of broken silver, looking as if he were facing a great enemy.

The old woman looked at the broken silver forced into her palm, and her eyes couldn't help but moisten.

"How is this a Living Yama? This is clearly a living immortal!"

In an instant, everything that happened in Suiyang Commandery spread toward the entire Great Qian at a terrifying speed.

Wherever the news reached, no one could help but be shocked!

Some officials, even hundreds of miles away, had their official robes soaked with sweat, and the marketplace was also different from before.

Changancheng.

The Imperial Palace.

The Imperial Study.

Wu Zhao wore a bright yellow dragon robe, her whole body permeated with a majestic aura, her cold face expressionless.

Below were the high officials of the Great Qian.

Cui Xinghe, Lu Wen, Gao Feng, and others were all in the Imperial Study.

Wu Zhao rubbed her brow, unable to hide her exhaustion, and said, "For the past two days, my right eyelid has been twitching. I always feel that Gao Yang is going to give me a huge surprise."

"Has there been no news from Suiyang Commandery yet?"

As soon as the words fell, Wang Zhong's voice rang out.

"Your Majesty is overthinking!"

"I know the character of the Living Yama too well. I dare to guarantee with three catties of locusts plus three catties of manure that this so-called governance session will stop at the right time!"

Wang Zhong held up three fingers, his voice extremely confident.

But at this moment, a voice rang out from outside the hall!

"Report!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, an urgent report from Suiyang Commandery!"

"Lord Gao held a governance session in Suiyang three days ago. One supervisor received the Ostrich Award, one County Magistrate received the Snail Award, and a total of 101 officials of various ranks were executed, including six County Magistrates and one commandery Commandant!"
