Søren's expression turned cold, "Your father is dead."
Hearing this, Yuwen Fa looked at his father and immediately saw a decapitated corpse.
His father didn't rest in peace when he died.
At this moment, Yuwen Fa suddenly woke up. He felt a sense of panic and fear.
When he saw Ye Feidie, he was overwhelmed by rage. Only now did he see that his father's head had been chopped off.
Ever since he was young, he had been successful, but he had always lived under his father's protection. Yuwen Gai was his biggest support. Now that he had lost this support, he didn't know what to do.
He had no one to rely on and was panicking.
Søren said, "Yuwen Fa, your father was willing to use his life to exchange for your life before he died. Of course, he is definitely trying to trick me. But I still want to ask, what do you want to do? "
"What do you mean?" Yuwen Fa raged.
"Do you want to live or die?" Søren asked.
Yuwen Fa raged, "In any case, don't even think about me begging for mercy. A man cannot be subdued."
Søren smiled to himself. So he wanted to live but didn't want to beg for mercy. He wanted Søren to let him go.
Yuwen Fa was much worse than his father. Yuwen Gai tried to trick Søren by kneeling and kowtowing, calling him young master and old servant.
Yuwen Fa didn't want to lose his dignity and wanted to live. Perhaps in his eyes, the death of his father, Yuwen Gai, had some value.
Søren looked at Ye Feidie, "He is your husband. Are you going to kill him or not? Whatever you say! "
With that, Yuwen Fa immediately looked at Ye Feidie.
Right now, he was probably feeling very complicated. He wanted to live, but he definitely didn't want to beg for mercy from Ye Feidie.
Ye Feidie also looked at Søren angrily. Why did she have to decide?
Yuwen Fa cursed at Ye Feidie, "Bitch, kill me if you want. If I even frown, I'm a coward."
Ye Feidie still did not speak.
Yuwen Fa became even more enraged, "Bitch, kill me! Kill me! If you kill me, you'll be able to follow Søren, that adulterer. You keep saying that Zhi Li and Tu Lingduo should be killed, but what difference is there between you and Tu Lingduo? You are all adulterers, you are all murdering your own husbands! You and Tu Lingduo are both shameless bitches. "
When these words were spoken, Ye Feidie's face became deathly pale. He had struck the most painful part of her heart.
After knowing what happened between Zhi Li and Tu Lingduo, Ye Feidie hated Tu Lingduo to the core. She wanted to skin him alive and pull out his tendons. She felt that there was no woman more shameless than Tu Lingduo in this world.
But now, was she also colluding with the adulterer and murdering her husband?
Seeing this scene, Yuwen Fa's eyes became even more resentful, and he said, "Kill me, kill me! You b * tch, colluding with your adulterer to murder me, your husband, and then the two of you will be together forever! "
Søren squinted his eyes and realized that this Yuwen Fa was actually very smart.
He wanted to live, but he didn't want to beg for mercy, so he provoked her with words.
He tried to use strong morals to force Ye Feidie to spare his life.
Søren squatted down in front of Yuwen Fa and said, "Let me tell you the difference between Ye Feidie and Tu Lingduo."
"First, Tu Lingduo and Zhi Li had sex, but Ye Feidie didn't have sex with me. After the two of you got married, I didn't even see her face to face."
"Second, Tu Lingduo treated Tu Lingduo very well, but you treated Ye Feidie badly. After finding out about our past relationship, you humiliated her many times. If it wasn't for the fact that your martial arts were on par, you would probably have used domestic violence on her. Moreover, she never cheated all these years. Instead, it was you who slept with another woman in front of her. "
"Third, Tu Lingduo murdered Tu Lingyang in order to take over Luanyang City. Ye Feidie reported you to get rid of a scourge for the people. Did she get any benefits? The gold coins that the Ye family embezzled had to be spat out. "
"Fourth, Tu Lingyang didn't do evil, he didn't deserve to die. As for you father and son, how much blood did you drink and how much of the people's wealth did you steal? Royal City has finally settled down a little, yet you want to rebel once again and plunge the entire city into misery and suffering. If you had succeeded, how many people would have died in Monarch City? How many houses would have been turned into ruins, and how many people would have been homeless? "
Yuwen Fa said sternly, "Søren, what right do you have to criticize us? The winner takes all, the loser takes all. It's just that you won, and we lost. What right do you have to criticize us on moral grounds? Trash like you, what right do you have to lecture me? "
"Of course I do!" Søren said sternly, "When I defeated Zhi Li in the battles, how many civilians did I hurt? Up until now, have I ever stolen a single gold coin from the people? I, Søren, am not very virtuous. I have wives like Yan Nair and Princess Jung Yeon, and I have a lot of lovers. But to the Raging Wave Kingdom, I owe nothing. To the people of the kingdom, I owe nothing! "
Søren said angrily, "If you had succeeded this time and killed me, His Majesty the King, and Princess Jung Yeon, you would probably have supported Jiu You to ascend the throne. By then, he would have been completely reduced to a puppet, and the entire Raging Wave Kingdom would have become a colony of the Hidden Island. The Raging Wave Kingdom's 10,000 miles of territory and 70 million people would all be enslaved by the Hidden Island. For your own selfish desires, you didn't hesitate to betray the country and your souls, and you still have the cheek to criticize Ye Feidie? She exposed your crimes, and that is a righteous act for the country and the people. "
These words made Yuwen Fa's face turn ashen.
On the side, Ye Feidie's expression gradually returned to normal, and her body temperature also returned.
To be honest, she wasn't as noble as Søren made her out to be.
The reason why she had betrayed her husband and father-in-law was really because of her feelings. She had no feelings for Yuwen Fa, but she still had lingering feelings for Søren.
But thinking about it from a deeper level, it didn't seem to be completely the case. There seemed to be a scale in her heart, and that was the scale of injustice.
She instinctively felt that Yuwen Gai and his son were evil in this matter, while Søren was righteous.
At this moment, she also knew that the reason why Søren said so much was not to convince Yuwen Fa, but to remove the knot in her heart.
Ye Feidie calmed down and said to Søren, "I've decided."
Yuwen Fa's body trembled, and he looked at Ye Feidie with a pale face.
Ye Feidie glanced at Yuwen Fa and said indifferently, "Kill!"
The moment these words came out, Yuwen Fa almost fainted. Then, his face twisted like a ferocious ghost, and he shouted, "Søren, Ye Feidie, you adulterous couple, adulterous couple. Even if I become a ferocious ghost, I won't let you go."
Søren frowned and said, "Yuwen Fa, I've already explained so much to you, why do you still say that we are adulterous couple? I can't guarantee that we won't commit adultery in the future, but at least up until now, Ye Feidie and I are innocent. Why do you still say such things? "
"Adulterous couple will die a horrible death, a horrible death!" Yuwen Fa roared continuously, and his gaze toward Søren was full of hatred.
Søren took a deep breath and said, "I'm the Regent Duke, you will pay the price for insulting me!"
Then, Søren coldly ordered, "Men, cut off his tongue, and send him to the Heavenly Prison. After the Black Dragon Platform's trial, he will be sentenced to death!"
The so-called death sentence was to have his body torn apart.
The moment these words came out, Yuwen Fa's body trembled, and he really wanted to completely faint.
Two Shadow Pavilion's warriors stepped forward, violently opened his mouth, and used pliers to pull out his tongue.
One of the eunuchs fetched a dagger, and with lightning speed, he cut off Yuwen Fa's tongue.
After that, a red-hot branding iron was used to directly seal the root of the tongue, preventing blood from spurting out! Then, a white cloth was used to seal Yuwen Fa's mouth, not allowing a single drop of blood to fall to the ground.
And under this incomparable pain, Yuwen Fa fainted, and was dragged out like a dead dog.
Once a person courted death, no one could save them.
Tu Ningchen also had a grudge against Søren for stealing his wife and killing his father, but now, he had completely sided with Søren. Moreover, in the future, he would also have a lot of power.
And not only did Yuwen Fa fail to keep his life, but his tongue was also cut off, and his body torn apart!
At this moment, Zhuang Zhixuan said, "Master, Viscount Ye Jin is crying, asking to see you."
Søren looked towards Ye Feidie, and she said in a low voice, "I'll leave for a while."
On this matter, she could face Yuwen Gai and his father, but she could not face her father, and even more could not face her father's subsequent ugly flattery.
A eunuch brought Ye Feidie out of the study.
Soon, Viscount Ye Jin rushed in, and when he was still a few meters away, he directly knelt down and walked into the study.
"I deserve to die, I deserve to die." Viscount Ye Jin continuously kowtowed, wailing, "Duke, please, for my daughter's sake, spare this old servant's life."
Viscount Ye Jin still did not know that it was his daughter who told on him, but because Søren had a relationship with his daughter in the past, he hoped that Søren would spare his life on account of their past relationship.
"I have eyes but failed to see. Back then, I actually stopped the relationship between you and my daughter. Later on, my daughter married into the Yuwen clan, and I washed my face with tears every day. I am truly regretful. Even if I were to be your lover or concubine, it would still be much better than being the wife of the Yuwen clan. "Viscount Ye Jin continuously slapped himself and cried," I am truly regretful! "
This person was truly shameless.
Søren decided not to let him know that it was Ye Feidie who told on him. Otherwise, he would definitely take advantage of him.
Immediately, Søren's face became extremely cold, and he said, "Ye Jin, I will only ask you one question. Whether you can live or not, it all depends on how you answer."
Ye Jin was so scared that he shivered, "Duke, please ask."
Søren said, "How much money have you embezzled all these years? Think carefully before you answer. Whether you can live or not, it all depends on the number you answer. "
Viscount Ye Jin was shocked, and he instinctively wanted to say something lower. That way, the crime would be much smaller.
But then, he thought that perhaps Søren already knew the exact number, and it was just a matter of whether he would tell the truth or not. If he lied, then he would die.
Immediately, Viscount Ye Jin kowtowed with all his might, "I deserve to die! I deserve to die! I have embezzled two hundred thousand gold coins from the people all these years!"
"How much?" Søren was shocked.
"Two … two hundred thousand …" Viscount Ye Jin said with a trembling voice. Then, he tried his best to think. It should be this much. He was not lying, right? Could it be that even the gifts he received during the holidays were counted?
Søren's eyes were wide open, and he could not help but gasp in amazement.
Viscount Ye Jin was just a broken noble family, and the highest position he had was only the quartermaster of the northern army and the city guards.
With such a position, how could he embezzle two hundred thousand gold coins?
How much was the military budget of the northern army every year? It was only around two hundred thousand gold coins!
Among the nobles in Royal City, Viscount Ye Jin could not be ranked at all. His ability to embezzle was really goddamn godly!
Søren waved his hand and said, "For the sake of your daughter, spit out all the gold coins, and I will spare your life! But whether or not you will spend the rest of your life in prison will depend on your performance. "
Viscount Ye Jin kowtowed with all his might and said, "No problem, no problem, I am willing to report and expose you. I am willing to make up for my crimes."
Søren waved his hand impatiently and had people bring Viscount Ye Jin out. He was really not willing to talk to him at all.
Just like that, Viscount Ye Jin kept his worthless life.
Perhaps some people would say that Søren was abusing his power for personal gain, and violated the dignity of the law. For someone like Ye Jin, it was enough to kill him ten times, but he could actually avoid death.
Those who said that were pedantic.
The person who needed to be impartial was Duke Bao, not the benevolent emperor Zhao Zhen.
Moreover, Ye Feidie had made such a great contribution, and it was more than enough to atone for her father's crimes.
…
For Søren, and for the political situation of the Raging Wave Kingdom, the most dangerous day had passed.
Eleven million gold coins had been recovered, and the rebellion of the city guards, which was on the verge of breaking out, had also been extinguished in the bud.
The entire Raging Wave Kingdom was on the edge of a cliff, and it almost fell into a bottomless abyss. Now, it was finally pulled back and out of danger.
According to Finance Minister Sauf's account book, Søren confiscated the property of the country's corrupt officials. On the first day, ten people were confiscated.
Although it caused the nobles to feel uneasy, it only caused some ripples.
On the second day, the imperial guards confiscated nine people.
On the third day, the imperial guards confiscated six people.
On the fourth day, the imperial guards did not continue to confiscate the property.
The nobles of the royal city heaved a long sigh of relief. Peace was finally restored.
According to Sauf's account book, Søren confiscated a total of 25 people.
During the whole process, there was some sporadic resistance. However, these nobles did not band together, and they lost the main force of the rebellion, the city guards, so the resistance could not cause any waves at all. A mere 2,000 imperial guards were able to suppress them.
As for the gold coins confiscated, it was still being calculated, and Søren did not know the specific number.
However, Gao Yin had already reported to Søren that this number would far exceed his expectations. It was no longer just enough to tide through this crisis.
Therefore, Søren was looking forward to seeing how great the results of this confiscation would be.
…
In the Heavenly Prison, the young master of the Hidden Island, Fang Qingyi, had been starved for four days, and no one had ever come to visit him.
In these four days, he only had a bowl of water every day.
He had never experienced the taste of starvation, and it was so painful that he wanted to die.
Fang Qingyi felt that even if there was a mouse in front of him now, he would be able to eat it alive.
He was extremely hungry, and when he heard a series of footsteps, he desperately hoped that someone had come to deliver food.
In the end, the person who appeared in front of him was Søren.
"Søren …" Fang Qingyi gritted his teeth and said, "You have offended the dignity of the Hidden Island, and you dare to imprison me. Soon, you will know how serious the consequences will be. Even your entire family, the entire kingdom, will not be able to bear the consequences. Just you wait, wait to suffer unparalleled misfortune. Your family, your wife, and children will suffer terrible punishment. "
"Slap …" Søren slapped him across the face.
Fang Qingyi looked at Søren in disbelief. He actually dared to slap him?
"Søren, you …"
"Slap …" Søren slapped him across the face again.
"Søren …"
This time, Fang Qingyi only managed to say two words before he was slapped back by Søren.
"Sou …"
Søren slapped Fang Qingyi from both sides, making him dizzy and bleeding from his mouth and nose.
"You can still threaten me. It seems that you still have strength, and you are not hungry enough." Søren sneered and said, "Then you can starve for another three days, and then I will talk to you."
With that, Søren left.
…
At the same time, two guests came to the Princess Residence.
It was a man and a woman, husband and wife. They were simply a match made in heaven.
This man was extremely handsome and elegant. His noble bearing even surpassed that of Søren.
This woman's body was graceful, gentle, and charming. Moreover, her appearance was somewhat similar to Fang Qingzhuo, but more exquisite and gorgeous.
Not only that, this woman's appearance was as gentle as water, but there was a hint of coquettishness hidden within. She was definitely a stunner.
She was Fang Qingzhuo's biological sister, Fang Qingdi.
And this extremely handsome man was, of course, her husband, Ji Mengbai. At the same time, he was also the adopted son of the royal family of the Yan Empire, the former lover of Black Widow Meng Tuoluo, the perfect lover who abandoned her at the wedding.
