Peerless: The Evil Soul Master's Guide to Saving the World

Chapter 159 Fashion: Execute first and report later, with Cheng Ge’s special permission, this is the Military Intelligence Department!
"Shocking! Is he crazy?"

Even the usually calm and composed Emperor Sun and Moon was a little nervous. He looked at the list handed over by Xu Cheng. He was smiling at first, but the smile gradually disappeared. His palms tightly grasped the armrests of the wooden chair under him, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged, which showed his state of mind...

"You shouldn't have condoned this." Xu Cheng took a sip of tea leisurely. After all, the criminal was caught red-handed, and the evidence was sufficient.

Overnight, Xu Cheng dispatched half of the Evil Lord Soul Mentor Corps and the Fire Phoenix Third Battalion stationed outside Mingdu to "cash in" all the clues he had. Not only did he catch a few big fish, but countless military officials in Mingdu were also brought down...

It was like dark clouds covering the sky over Mingdu, with a storm about to come.

As Mingdu underwent a dramatic change, countless military officials who had been arrogant were broken into by the soldiers of the Soul Guidance Corps. Those who obeyed were directly tortured away, while those who disobeyed were tortured again after being forced into a fight.

The common people would secretly lean out of the windows and always hear something like, “I have shed blood for the empire! Let me see His Majesty!” “Which division are you from! Do you know I am... Snap! How dare you... Snap... Woohoo…”

The guards had grim expressions. Even those who were strong at the Soul Douluo level had swollen faces after being handcuffed with soul-binding devices. Some of the arrogant ones were taken to prison with their faces swollen. Their colleagues who were also imprisoned nearby almost failed to recognize them.

As for the only Soul Douluo-level military official who was unwilling to be tortured and put on the soul-confining device and prepared to resist, his house had been flattened by hundreds of level seven long-range fixed-type soul-guiding cannons, and none of his family members survived.

This also makes countless people tremble with fear.

Everyone naturally knew who the red and dark purple armor belonged to, but this was the first time it had shown its fangs since the battle in the palace three years ago.

This iron-blooded approach, so swift and decisive, made countless forces feel uneasy.

Many people were also somewhat puzzled. With such a big commotion in the imperial city, why didn't the Royal Soul Instructor Group make any move last night? And how would the Supreme Being, who was firmly seated on the throne, react after hearing this news...

"There are a total of 572 people in the entire Mingde Hall, including current students. Among them, 107 have participated in black market reselling. They all know what they are doing! And in the military, the person behind the scenes actually pointed directly to a deputy head of the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Group! This is one of the highest levels of the country's military! I didn't expect that he would do such a treacherous thing." Xu Zhen said with great sorrow.

"You are the emperor, the supreme ruler, so I should be the one to say this." Xu Cheng took a sip of tea and glanced at the emperor with excellent acting skills. Are the requirements for being an emperor so high now? Without the strength of an actor, you can't sit firmly.

At the beginning, he really thought that his cheap father was a foolish and incompetent emperor, the kind of emperor who was wise and powerful in his early years, but hid in the harem in his later years to study elixirs every day.

It was not until I came into contact with him that I realized he was not what I thought.

The control over the empire is secretive yet powerful.

In other words, if Xu Tianran had the thought of "I can replace the Fourth Prince", he would probably be stabbed to death in the palace by his men at any time...

I absolutely don't believe that he doesn't know these things. It can even be said that it was all his instructions. He wants to fatten the animals up and then slaughter some of them to fill the national treasury, which is equivalent to a disguised transaction with the three countries to which he originally belonged.

"Sigh..." Xu Zhen sighed lightly and rolled up his sleeves like an old man.

"Ah Cheng, let me tell you the truth about this matter, Father. Although it is true that I indulged myself, I have indeed neglected to control it in recent years. I didn't expect that the infiltration into Mingde Hall and even the military would be so serious... Your fourth brother and the crown prince are still quite capable."

"Including the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Group, I'm afraid that the leader..."

Xu Zhen didn't say anything more, but as a prince for half his life, he had a very sharp eye. Although all the evidence pointed to the deputy head of the group, and it seemed that the head of the group had distanced himself from the matter, but...

"But you did the right thing. If the highest commander of a soul master group was thrown into prison, I'm afraid the morale of the entire soul master group would be dispersed."

He sighed softly.

Glancing at Xu Cheng who was leisurely drinking tea, this boy seemed calm.

"What do you think of the Fourth Brother and the Crown Prince?" Xu Zhen put his hands in his sleeve pockets and sat back in his chair lazily.

"Xu Jiran is a fool. The prince is smart, but without power, he will never amount to anything." Xu Cheng replied indifferently.

"He's your brother after all..." Xu Zhen said unhappily.

"It's not too late to scream after he dies." Xu Cheng smiled.

Xu Zhen: “…”

After a long while, his expression was somewhat complicated: "Fight to the death?"

"If they are willing to be decent, that's the best. If not, then I will help them to be decent..." Xu Cheng took a sip of tea.

"Alas...it's just the same as my temperament when I was young..." Xu Zhen said sadly.

Among all the princes, he liked Xu Cheng the most for this reason. The child inherited her looks, and his personality was exactly the same as his own.

Although they are all his own flesh and blood, as an emperor, his heart is cold.

Perhaps he did not realize that after establishing the heir, only the heir was considered a son by him, and the rest... were all pawns.

"How are you going to deal with this matter?" Xu Zhen restrained his emotions.

"..."

Xu Cheng was silent.

Governing a big country is like cooking a small one. It is extremely difficult to become a qualified emperor, because this kind of imperial parasites cannot be completely eliminated no matter which dynasty or region it is in.

Just like a certain member of the team, "I don't understand..."

He had just repaired a dilapidated building when his men tore it down and stuffed the money into their own pockets, even including the people closest to him...

"Win over some, suppress some, and kill some. I don't mind reselling soul guides. The Sun-Moon Empire also has an underground black market. But what I cannot tolerate is that the new soul guide that was just developed yesterday appeared on the table that originally belonged to the Three Kingdoms today. Even the secret ones are like missiles..." Xu Cheng narrowed his eyes and said.

He certainly had a purpose in doing this.

The so-called "teacher has a legitimate reason". If he just slapped them twice because he didn't like them, then he has a problem with his character, but with this kind of excuse, if he doesn't kill him, the other party will have to kneel on the ground and kowtow in gratitude.

Who made the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Group secretly flirt with the Fourth Prince?

As for the Evil Lord Soul Mentor Group and the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group, how could they be so clean?

"Not bad." Xu Zhen glanced at Xu Cheng with satisfaction.

It seems his worries were unnecessary.

The next day.

News came from the Mingdu military headquarters.

The deputy leader of the Imperial Dragon Soul Guide Corps was executed, and people were in a panic for a while. Countless people inquired about the situation of the other arrested officers in the prison, but the prison was airtight. The colleagues who were amiable in the past were extremely determined at this moment, and verbally refused even a storage soul guide device containing one million gold soul coins.

Countless high-ranking military officials were feeling uneasy. Who doesn't have some kind of handle in the military these days?

But soon, more news came.

A large number of the captured middle-level officers of the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Corps were acquitted, while the remaining small number were convicted of treason and executed on the spot.

Upon hearing the news, many senior executives finally breathed a sigh of relief, their chests wet with sweat.

Soon, the military headquarters issued a document, appointing a battalion commander of the Evil Lord Soul Mentor Corps to temporarily take over the position of deputy commander of the former Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Corps. The commander of the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Corps, who was originally independent of the general military headquarters, quickly expressed his approval of the appointment and gave it a warm welcome, hoping to take over as soon as possible...

Thus, the overall political situation in the court underwent another change.

Countless people looked at the prime minister who remained calm at the court meeting, and felt a sense of pity for him.

Play? How to play?
They hit you on the head and you have no power to fight back...

……

In a certain palace.

"Damn Xu Cheng! I%￥#@..."

Dressed in white, Xu Jiran had a ferocious look on his face. He swept the tools on the table to the ground and kicked a palace maid hard.

"This isn't a strict investigation of traitors, this is aimed at me! More than half of the dead are my people, I..."

"Your Highness..."

A waiter came in with a sad face and timidly looked in the hall.

"What's the matter? Tell me!" Xu Jiran said impatiently.

"The Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Group called through the communication soul guide device, and he said, said..."

"What did he say!!!" Xu Jiran's eyes narrowed, and he took a step forward, grabbed the waiter's collar, and his eyes widened with anger. "If you delay again, I'll kill your whole family!"

"He said...you shouldn't contact him anymore, he's afraid His Highness Xu Cheng might misunderstand..." the waiter cried.

"He, he..." Xu Jiran suddenly felt his hands and feet go cold.

Knowing that the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Group was greedy for money, he handed over many shops and power run by the palace to them in order to gain their support. Although the Prime Minister advised him that such greedy people were untrustworthy and could not be relied on, he had to do so for the throne. Unexpectedly, Xu Cheng surrendered after sharpening his knife...

"Pfft!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood, fell on his back and fainted.

"Someone come quickly! His Highness has fallen down!"

The whole palace was in chaos...

……

Listening to the guards reporting that his second brother was so angry that he vomited blood, Xu Tianran sat in a wheelchair, gently cast the bait, and watched the carp in the pond in front of him fighting for the bait with an expressionless face.

After a long while, he said calmly: "Our forces have not been implicated..."

The waiter looked grim. "Yes, we planted a battalion commander in the Horror Claw Soul Instructor Corps and a battalion commander in the Royal Soul Instructor Corps. They were both arrested, and one of them was killed in the resistance."

Xu Tianran slowly closed his eyes and clenched his palms tightly.

This was his only two loyal forces, and they had been kept very hidden all along, never using their connections unless necessary. But he had never expected Xu Cheng to be able to find out this far...

"He can be so precise. I'm afraid the entire Mingdu has been infiltrated by his people." Xu Tianran said calmly.

"How did you do that..."

……

"Execute first and report later, authorized by the emperor! The whole world is in front of us, there are no secrets! This is the Military Intelligence Department!" Shi Xing said solemnly to his subordinates.
