Why had the Jinyiwei suddenly arrived?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without another word, they had declared they were confiscating the Gao Family Ancestral Residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now Senior Li, the most senior figure present, had actually died at the hands of a terrifyingly powerful young Jinyiwei officer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be able to kill a Sixth-Rank martial artist at such a young age—what kind of monster was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the favored prodigies on the Human Ranking would find it difficult to boast such a terrifying record!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, someone suddenly remembered something and shouted aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice trembled with extreme fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The newly appointed Jinyiwei Thousand-Household Commander of Jiannan Circuit is Cheng Yu—the very Seventh on the Human Ranking who destroyed Sword-Forging Manor!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Yu?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A name both familiar and unfamiliar surfaced in everyone’s minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The evil ghost and mortal foe of the jianghu martial artists... the man who had slaughtered the martial forces of an entire prefecture, killing until the martial artists of Dragon Abyss Path wept for their fathers and cried for their mothers...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martial artists cared deeply about face. After the news of Sword-Forging Manor had spread, many who heard it had all declared that they would rather die than lose their chivalric spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had all sworn that if they ever encountered such a ruthless man, they would surely fight to the death and never show fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that Cheng Yu had truly appeared before them, every one of them turned cold with fear and trembled to the core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Run!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The timid ones immediately turned and fled, afraid Cheng Yu would suppress them, capture them, or kill them on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the rumors, Cheng Yu’s ruthless methods of interrogation and torture were no less fearsome than his habit of confiscating households and exterminating entire families!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they were dragged into the Thousand-Household Office’s prison, they would lose a layer of skin even if they did not die!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I would like to see who dares run!” Cheng Yu roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I catch even one of you, then none of you will escape!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice, infused with awe-inspiring Internal Energy, struck their hearts like a giant hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were so frightened that their legs turned weak and trembled, and they lost even the strength to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With life and death on the line, they no longer cared about backbone or chivalry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their legs shaking, they dropped to their knees and begged for mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, please do not kill me! I surrender!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the first martial artist reacted that way, everyone else’s mental defenses collapsed completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all followed suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We absolutely will not resist you, my lord! Spare our lives!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gao Family members were utterly stunned by the sight. These martial artists were actually so afraid of death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burning with rage, ashamed to even stand alongside them, they gritted their teeth and looked at the people around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they shouted, “We would rather die than submit to a vicious fiend! Eldest Master will avenge us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet to their astonishment, quite a few Gao Family members had already been frightened out of their wits and knelt almost in unison to beg for mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, confiscate the Gao Family as you please! We absolutely will not resist!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Die rather than submit? What a joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several Fifth-Rank experts of their Gao Family had not even been able to exchange a single move with Cheng Yu, and Old Master Li had died a miserable death as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To keep resisting now was nothing but courting death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of them were not even core members of the Gao Family, nor had they received much benefit. Why should they stubbornly seek death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【The host has displayed overwhelming dominance, subdued others without expending any effort, and exalted the mighty prestige of the Jinyiwei. Reward: fifty Elephant-Strength Bone-Fortifying Pills!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the crowd kneeling before him and begging for mercy, Cheng Yu had not expected this scene either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A family that had risen by relying on Gao Song’s official position and living off borrowed power, together with a pack of martial artists attached to the powerful, their mettle truly was not equal to that of those born and bred in the jianghu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had only said that any who refused to surrender would be killed without mercy, yet these people had genuinely taken it to heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It left Cheng Yu somewhat uninterested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twenty Jinyiwei behind him, however, all had blazing eyes, with not the slightest room left in them for shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Cheng’s might shakes the jianghu! We are in awe!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To follow a hero like you, my lord, is truly the fortune of three lifetimes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jinyiwei’s heartfelt amazement and praise rose one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their eyes, for these mere jianghu martial artists and Gao Family men to kneel and beg for mercy before Lord Cheng, that was the only proper outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They felt incomparably proud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A superior with peerless martial skill who never deceived those above him or bullied those below him, who always led from the front for the sake of the state and the people, who rewarded his men generously after confiscating a household, and who taught his subordinates with care, to follow an officer like that, one gained both benefit and face. It truly was the fortune of three lifetimes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Yu had not expected this confiscation to go so smoothly, nor had he expected his Jinyiwei subordinates to shout his praises like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he could only nod, then toss out the reward he had just received from the system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bottle of Elephant-Strength Bone-Fortifying Pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an excellent medicinal pill that was highly beneficial in increasing a martial artist’s Internal Energy. Any martial artist below the Fifth Rank would gain considerable benefit from taking it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the jianghu, it was something one could only hope to encounter by chance, never seek by choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Jinyiwei caught the bottle and sensed the fierce medicinal force within, they were overjoyed and felt even more gratitude and reverence toward Cheng Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, many of the Gao Family martial artists felt as though they had fallen into an ice cellar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They cursed loudly, “You spineless wretches do not deserve the surname Gao!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were furious and despairing beyond words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wanted to surrender as well!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they knew clearly enough what they had done. Even if they surrendered, death still awaited them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They might as well resist to the bitter end and fight for a slim chance of survival!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What awaited them, however, were icy Xiuchun Sabers...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the time it took an incense stick to burn, the Gao Family martial artists who were still resisting had suffered devastating casualties. Terrifying corpses nearly covered the ground of the Gao Family Ancestral Residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone else had either surrendered or been wounded. The Jinyiwei crippled them and brought them under control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were still cursing Cheng Yu loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cheng Yu, you brat! You are abusing force and slaughtering innocents! My Eldest Master will never let you off!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We will not let you off even as ghosts!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“May these Imperial Hounds die miserable deaths!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sounds of punches, kicks, and slaps rang out without end as the Jinyiwei barked coldly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you want to die, then say so. Stop all this nonsense!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they looked toward Cheng Yu with deep reverence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, all the Gao Family men are under control now. We do not quite have enough hands to confiscate the household thoroughly. Should we go back and call for reinforcements?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Yu swept his gaze across the Gao Family Ancestral Residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since Gao Song had become the Circuit Intendant of Jiannan Circuit and used his wife’s martial strength to seize real power, the Gao Family had risen rapidly and amassed a staggering quantity of wealth squeezed from the people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the Gao Residence in Jiannan City, which had been built as splendidly as a grand garden estate, the Gao Family Ancestral Residence here had also grown into a local behemoth and accumulated enormous wealth—far too much to move away in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is not like suppressing bandits in Qingjiang Prefecture, where once the killing was done, we could simply carry things away. Some matters here must be clearly accounted for.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was true that the Jinyiwei possessed the privilege of Execute First and Report Later, with the Throne’s Special Authorization, but they still had to make a report afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for finding a reason, that was no problem at all for Cheng Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great Qian forbade the private keeping of slaves. Any violator committed a grave crime. That single statute was enough to crush the overwhelming majority of powerful families beneath the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They simply never took such regulations seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having already made up his mind, Cheng Yu instructed his subordinates, “All of you, go count the number of slave-servants in the Gao Family now. If anything, overcount them rather than undercount them. As for the men needed to transport the property, they will come of their own accord.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, sir! Then what about you, my lord?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since I have already come to their ancestral residence, I may as well go take a look at their ancestral graves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Jiannan City, inside the vast Gao Residence, a scene of perfect family reunion was unfolding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lady, have some more of this papaya honey soup. It will preserve your beauty and nourish your complexion!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mother, you absolutely must try these osmanthus pastries. Your son had them made first thing this morning!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Father and son, Gao Song and Gao Guobang, were both fawning over a woman no longer in her youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jianying looked at the obedient father and son before her with an indifferent expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under ordinary circumstances, she would have been very pleased by such devoted attentiveness from the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Gao Song was speaking in a hoarse voice, and his face was covered with a large, incomparably ugly smear of medicinal paste.\u003C\u002Fp>",1781,"2026-06-03T04:54:42.394Z","2026-06-03T04:54:48.224Z",1,"novelbin.me","7b9e6c82326d9315e98246c551faaf6881890b78a8f4dd1a7834bee2661251b6","you-drove-me-out-with-your-hypocrisy-and-now-cry-chapter-28","you-drove-me-out-with-your-hypocrisy-and-now-cry-chapter-27",126,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyou-drove-me-out-with-your-hypocrisy-and-now-cry-cover.jpg"]
