The Ming Dynasty began from Sarhu

Chapter 909: Resurrection and Annihilation

Death is like a lamp going out.

Kingsning's life and death are unknown. Just when everyone thought that the Beihai incident could come to an end, Dong Shaowei received a telegram from Tianxin City, asking them to hold a public trial of the culprit Kingsning.

Dong Shaowei immediately called back and explained to the emperor and the cabinet that Jin Ning was most likely already executed, and that the North Sea was now full of Jin's followers. If the trial was open, it would probably provoke a civil uprising.

Tianxin City immediately replied that the matter was of great importance and that all provinces would draw troops to reinforce Beihai. The emperor specifically instructed in the telegram that Dong Shaowei should take a tough attitude and would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let a single person escape.

The fact that Kingsning summoned the ancient gods this time was of great significance.

If Kingsning's promotion of "utopia" could be forgiven by the king and his ministers of Qi, then summoning evil gods and attempting to sacrifice millions of Qi people would never be tolerated.

Since its founding by Taizu, the Great Qi has been deeply involved with supernatural forces. Although successive emperors (except Liu Zhaosun) denied the existence of ancient gods, the evil spirits almost plunged the Great Qi into an irretrievable situation.

All these things made Liu Fan and the parliamentary leaders pay close attention to the affairs of the North Sea.

After confirming the fact that Kingsning was colluding with the evil god, Tianxin City immediately decided to kill Jin. This time, Tianxin City was ready to settle old and new accounts together. Not only would they hold Jin accountable for all the evil deeds he had committed in exile over the years, but they would also punish him for treason.

The emperor asked Dong Shaowei to send the trial details back to Tianxin City by telegram as soon as possible. As for the final conviction of Jin, it must be decided after careful discussion in the cabinet and cannot be decided on his own.

Not only Tianxin City, the strange things that happened in the North Sea Exile Colony also affected Britain thousands of miles away. In less than a week, old George also got the news and immediately telegraphed Tianxin City, requesting the Emperor of Da Qi to properly resolve the matter. If necessary, the British fleet could go to Kuyi Island for reinforcement.

Apparently, the Brits also believe in the existence of ancient gods.

The attention from Tianxin City and the unusual movements of the British made Dong Shaowei realize the important mission he was shouldering.

Dong Shaowei was very clear that his ability to be called back from Nagasaki to carry out such an important mission was a great opportunity bestowed upon him by the emperor, an opportunity that others could not hope for.

If he could grasp it, he would be able to turn his life around, return to Tianxin City, and return to the center of power.

On the contrary, if he failed in his task, he might have to stay in this desolate land forever.

Therefore, despite having felt the tremendous pressure from the ancient god and the indescribable fear, Dong Shaowei still decided to continue.

Under tremendous pressure, he once again called back to Tianxin City and expressed his determination to Emperor Jing Yan:
"Kingsning disrupted Tianxin City in his early years, and now he's misleading people in the northern border, attempting to sacrifice millions of lives to evil spirits. This thief's crimes are too numerous to list. If he's not eliminated, the country will never have peace! If I die in this incident, please tell my family that I died protecting Da Qi, so they won't have any regrets!"

At the end of the telegram, Dong Shaowei said indignantly: "If Jin Ning is not killed, the laws of the Great Qi will no longer exist!"

Dong Shaowei hoped that before the trial, the emperor and the ministers would give him some time so that the soldiers could conduct a final search for Kingsning.

After sending the telegram, Dong Shaowei waited quietly for Tianxin City's reply.

Three days later, Tianxin City called back to Beihai, informing them that the parliament had passed with a high vote, allowing Dong Shaowei to conduct a final search at all costs.

Unless absolutely necessary, a verdict should never be made in court to the empty air.

In Zhang Tingyu's words, this matter concerns the legal dignity of the Great Qi and cannot be neglected.

The laws of the Great Qi Dynasty may have ceased to exist long ago. Otherwise, there would not have been a traitor like Kingsning, and there would not have been so many believers.

In any case, more than 3,000 reinforcements are about to arrive in Beihai.

With this reinforcement force as a military backing, Dong Shaowei felt a little relieved. Even though he was in the borderland of the empire, even though all he saw was barbarism, even though he really had to face the so-called ancient gods, he still insisted on carrying out a just trial of Kingsning and his followers in accordance with the legal standards of the civilized world.

The trial was scheduled for September 1st. Dong Shaowei was appointed by the cabinet as the chief judge, with two local civil servants serving as jurors, and three high-ranking officials from the capital serving as jury members. Before the formal trial, Dong Shaowei, following orders from Tianxin City, organized 500 engineers to conduct a final, thorough search of Kingsning's residence.

Kingsning's mansion is located in a secluded place 300 kilometers west of Kuyi Island, or more precisely, near a swamp. On the ground is a huge complex of buildings, which looks like a palace from a distance.

This is believed to be the place where the evil god connects with Kingsning.

The ruins of this luxurious mansion, which served both religious and military functions, have long been destroyed, leaving only some broken walls.

The engineers used thousands of kilograms of explosives, and amid the chatter of local shamans, Dong Shaowei announced that the remaining buildings on the ground would be blown up.

"We must eradicate all evil, especially those from the north! We must dig deep to find any trace of the traitors!"

Dong Shaowei hated the Siberian cold wave and was hostile to all the evil spirits in this land. If it were not for the interference of the sorcerers from the north in the government, there would not have been various disasters in Da Qi.

Natural disasters are secondary, man-made disasters are fatal. This is a problem that all knowledgeable people in Da Qi are aware of. Dong Shaowei knows very well that the empire cannot be misled by people like Kingsning again, so the roots must be eradicated.

The search for Kingsning is still going on, but the criminal seems to have evaporated from the North Sea and disappeared without a trace.

Various rumors were rampant. Some said that Kingsning was taken away by the evil god, while others said that Kingsning turned to ashes in a huge explosion on the Night of Destruction (the night when the ancient gods descended on the North Sea).

No matter what, the mansion left by Kingsning must now be cleaned up, thoroughly cleaned up.

The engineers detonated the explosives. A massive explosion followed, and a black mushroom cloud rose from the ground. Countless brick and stone fragments rained down from the sky, landing at the crowd's feet. As the smoke cleared, the remaining stone pillars collapsed with a loud bang.

That was the place of faith of Kingsning and his followers.

What Dong Shaowei has to do now is to completely destroy their faith.

"Regardless of whether Tianxin City forgives the traitor or not, I will crush him to pieces here! After the foundation is blown up, you must search carefully and find the remaining remnants of the traitors! I want to see them alive or dead!"

Kingsning was nowhere to be found alive, and even his body was hard to find. The soldiers found some strangely shaped utensils in the basement. The surfaces of the bottles and jars were engraved with the shapes of marine creatures. A pottery jar was covered with octopus tentacles, and another jar similar to a wine jug had a large fish covered with slime on it.

All signs indicate that this is the base where the criminal Kingsning communicates with evil spirits.

Since the search was fruitless, a temporary court was set up next to the ruins of the Fortress of Sin.

Dong Shaowei will represent Tianxin City and Da Qi to judge King Ning.

Kingsning is suspected of being involved in evil activities and trying to summon the ancient gods of the North Sea. He sacrificed tens of thousands of local Qi people and reached an agreement with the ancient gods. Kingsning's crimes are too numerous to list!
This matter is of great importance. After discussing with his adjutant, Dong Shaowei decided to summon all officers above the battalion level near Beihai to attend the trial. Kingsning will be tried for crimes such as treason, endangering the nation, and fraud.

In order to serve as a warning to the public, some die-hard believers will also be brought to court.

Dong Shaowei wanted these people to witness the entire process of the annihilation of Jin's rest house.

On the morning of September 1st, the eighteenth year of Jingyan, the ruins of Kingsning's mansion were surrounded by thousands of fully armed soldiers. The surrounding roads had been under martial law for a long time, and no vehicles were allowed to pass. Aircraft were prohibited from flying in some airspaces, and the shamans who had been entrenched there for several months were driven out.

Considering that Kingsning has many followers, Dong Shaowei formulated the most stringent security plan to prevent any possible emergencies.

All preparations are only for humans. If the so-called ancient gods of the North Sea really exist and these ancient gods can disrupt the trial activities, Dong Shaowei can only do his best and choose to die together with these supernatural forces.
