Bring some shock to the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 1007 Humanity and Sophistication

Lingchi or beheading?

"Don't do this!"

Jia Shi, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, said sadly, "My son is the top scholar in the imperial examination. How can you kill him with just one word? Your Highness the Prince of Han, you can't do this! You can't do this!"

"Hey, hey, don't talk about me."

When the King of Han heard this, he put down his hand that was scratching his ear and said indifferently: "This is not my decision. I am just a worker."

"Your Highness the King of Han!"

Jia Shi just thought that the King of Han was playing with him and fooling him. There were only a few people on the scene, Xu Gong was a famous old dog, and there was also a young man who was in power and did not show mercy. The only one who could decide Jia Yu's life or death was the King of Han.

He seemed to realize something, and hurriedly stood up, stumbling and trotting to the foot of the Han king's horse, begging: "Your Majesty, I am willing to pay 10 million taels of silver to atone my sins, only asking you to spare the life of this useless son of mine."

"Ten million?"

The King of Han was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Zhou Li and asked cheerfully, "Is it enough?"

"Oh, ten million."

Zhou Li crossed his arms, not showing any anger at being ignored. Instead, he smiled and said, "Your Highness the King of Han, which one is more valuable, ten million taels of silver or Lord Jia Shi, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, kneeling in front of the gate of Chunyi Tower for three hours?"

"Oh, do you need to say this?"

The King of Han sneered and said, "Lord Jia knelt in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion and became a high-ranking official, the Minister of Justice, who was worth a fortune. But he only knelt for an hour. Five hours? How can ten million taels of silver stop him?"

"Oh~"

Zhou Li suddenly realized what was going on, and then walked to Jia Yu, saying in surprise: "Oh my, kneeling for an hour makes you a third-rank official. I'll make you kneel for three hours, and you'll be promoted to a higher rank!"

At this moment, Jia Shi seemed to realize something. He looked at Zhou Li in disbelief, his teeth chattering against each other, but he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

"How about this, one hour for a third-rank official, and three hours for a ninth-rank official! The inspector of the Beiliang Inspection Office is a ninth-rank official, which is perfect for Lord Jia."

Suddenly, Jia Shi's eyes went dark, but he quickly reacted and shouted, "I am the Minister of Justice appointed by the current emperor. I have never made a mistake in the prime minister's assessment. I have been in office for seven years without any unjust, false or wrong cases. I have never made any mistakes in my life. I am an honest official and have never accepted any bribes! Who are you to dare to dismiss me?"

"Hey, then you are the MVP!"

Zhou Li walked around Jia Shi in amazement, then he walked to Jia Yu who was not far away, lifted his head and smiled at Jia Shi.

The next second, a bloody mark appeared on Jia Yu's neck.

Jia Shi's pupils shrank. He looked at Zhou Li in disbelief and pointed at him with trembling hands, "How dare you...how dare you do this! He is my son!"

"Since you are the Minister of Justice appointed by the current emperor, you have never made a mistake in the Prime Minister's assessment, and there has not been any unjust, false or wrongful case in your seven years in office, and you have never made any mistakes in your life..."

Zhou Li wiped the blood off the knife and said gently, "Then your son is a winner without any effort."

"He is a dog who wins by doing nothing. He operated a brothel while in office, forced women of good character into prostitution, and amassed wealth without restraint. He even allowed an honest official like you to take out 10 million silver coins."

"Then you'll be damned."

Xu Gong, who was standing by, was very perceptive. Under Jia Shi's horrified gaze, he drew out his embroidered spring knife and chopped off Jia Yu's head without hesitation. He looked at Zhou Li and asked calmly, "Do you want to return the head to Lord Jia?"

"I haven't kneeled for enough time for three hours." Zhou Li turned around, facing away from Jia Shi, and said calmly, "There are more than seventy innocent women's lives on Jia Yu's account book. It is only natural that the father should pay for the son's debt."

"correct."

Zhou Li paused for a moment, without even turning his head, and reminded with a smile.

"If the debt is not paid off, the Jia family may not be able to escape."

Jia Shi knelt on the ground with lifeless eyes in a pool of blood. This once powerful Minister of Justice fell into hell in a single thought and lost all his pride.

Xu Gong, who was standing by, watched this scene for a long time without saying anything. After a moment, he smiled, turned around, and followed Zhou Li closely.

The smile on the King's face never stopped. He shook the reins, and the strong and majestic black horse slowly moved forward. After arriving under a roof, he waved his hand and sat on a gorgeous chair with a cup of hot tea at hand.

"No wonder we use this kid."

The King of Han narrowed his eyes, took a sip of hot tea, and said with emotion:
"There really are no taboos."

Yu Qian stood not far away, looking at Jia Yu who had lost all his strength at the door, and shook his head with a smile.

After going upstairs, Zhou Li came to a magnificent hall, with gold and jade carvings and ingenious corridors, which turned the middle floor of a building into a palace.

Zhou Li stood at the gate of the palace. At this moment, more than a dozen men in various costumes were standing close to each other in the palace, with fear on their faces.

They had not expected that this routine inspection would actually tear the relationship apart and actually pull them out and drive them together like cattle.

A man glanced at the girl who didn't look very tall, but after seeing how she easily smashed his amulet with a punch, he realized that this time was unusual.

What is this going to do?
"Anti-pornography."

A young man's voice came from the stairs. He stood in front of these people with his hands behind his back and dressed in ordinary clothes. He smiled gently and said, "Men stand on the left, women stand on the right, and eunuchs stand in the middle."

After he finished speaking, the young man paused and added: "Everyone should be obedient and sit in a row to eat the fruit."

Then, the white-haired girl standing next to the young man casually threw a plum blossom dart, which hit the lower body of a man who was trying to escape through the window. With a tragic wail, the man curled up like a cooked shrimp, and continued to wail tragically.

"Don't sit in a row, eat the fruit with your buttocks~"

Zhou Li used the most gentle voice to speak cruel words, "Next, whoever dares to move will be hacked to death~"

No one dared to question whether this statement was true.

A moment ago, a respected old gentleman stood up and reprimanded Zhou Li for his improper behavior and lack of knowledge of etiquette.

In another year, the old man should be one month old.

"Okay, now everyone needs to go back to their rooms and write a letter based on the content. Write an emotional letter to your relatives and friends, explaining what shameful things you have done in this building and what shameful habits you have."

Pointing at himself, Zhou Li smiled and said, "I forgot to tell you all, my name is relatives and friends, you can write to me directly."

I don't even want to act anymore. (End of this chapter)
