Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

Zhao Wu knelt on the city wall, looking at that figure, feeling as if his heart was about to burst.

Lin Mo ignored Zhao Wu and the Imperial Guards kneeling on the city wall, as well as the gatekeepers who were prostrate on both sides of the palace gate, trembling like leaves.

His steps were neither hurried nor slow, each step precisely landing on the dragon-patterned stone carving in the center of the imperial path.

Since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, only the emperor has been allowed to travel this road.

The Lin family was full of loyal martyrs, and the father, Lin Xiaotian, had made unparalleled contributions, yet he didn't even have the qualifications to embark on this path.

Today, Lin Mo will walk this path and enter the hall that symbolizes the highest power in the world to settle a blood debt that has been long overdue.

In the empty imperial city, only the sound of his footsteps echoed.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Each step was like a heavy hammer blow, striking the hearts of everyone who heard it.

Passing through the Meridian Gate, you will reach the Golden Water Bridge.

Under the bridge, several eunuchs responsible for cleaning lay prostrate on the ground, trembling like leaves.

Lin Mo didn't even frown, and walked straight past.

Ahead, on the Taihe Gate Square, thousands of inner court guards and palace guards who had rushed to the scene had already abandoned their armor and knelt on the ground.

Their weapons lay scattered around them, and no one dared to look up at the approaching figure.

Just then, several figures dressed in brocade robes suddenly rushed out from the side of the palace passage.

It was a few pampered members of the royal family who seemed to be trying to escape through the side gate during the chaos.

"General Lin, spare our lives! We have absolutely no connection with that beast Xia Jie!"

A prince with a large belly scrambled out, barely managing to utter a single sentence.

Lin Mo didn't even glance at him.

He just kept walking forward.

An invisible force emanated from his side.

boom! boom! boom!

Those members of the royal family were like those hit head-on by a battering ram; their bodies instantly bent into crooks like shrimp.

He coughed up blood and flew backward for more than ten meters before crashing hard into the palace wall, the sound of his bones shattering clearly audible.

His body slid down the red palace wall, leaving long trails of blood on the ground; his fate was unknown.

This bloody scene caused the kneeling guards around to bury their heads even deeper, wishing they could disappear into the ground.

To kill the chicken as a warning to the monkey.

No, this doesn't even qualify as killing a chicken.

He simply crushed a few ants that were blocking his way.

Lin Mo did not pause for a moment, passing through the huge Taihe Gate Square, and finally arrived at the palace that symbolized the pinnacle of power in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The palace gates were tightly closed.

But Lin Mo could clearly sense hundreds of chaotic and terrified auras behind the door.

He stopped and looked up at the huge plaque hanging above the palace gate.

The three gilded characters of "Hall of Supreme Harmony" still reflected a cold light under the gloomy sky.

A mocking smile curled at the corners of Lin Mo's lips.

Taihe?

This grand hall has witnessed far too many conspiracies and filth.

Every gold brick beneath its feet is soaked with the blood of loyal ministers and the tears of the people.

Today, it's time to wash it clean with royal blood.

Lin Mo raised his hand and gave the two palace doors, which were made of a single piece of golden nanmu wood and weighed tens of thousands of kilograms, a gentle push.

Boom—!

A powerful shockwave suddenly erupted!

The two enormous palace doors, along with the thick bolts behind them, were instantly shattered into a shower of wood chips by the terrifying force!

A fierce wind swept backward, and smoke and dust filled the air.

The scene inside the main hall was exposed to Lin Mo without any obstruction.

The magnificent hall, once resplendent in gold, now resembled a living hell.

Led by the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty, hundreds of civil and military officials, who were usually high-ranking officials, were now kneeling and prostrating themselves on the cold, smooth gold bricks without any regard for their image.

Many people were so frightened that they trembled all over, their official hats tilted to one side, and their court robes were full of wrinkles.

The pungent smell of urine, mixed with the stench of fearful sweat, filled the entire hall.

When Lin Mo's figure appeared at the broken palace gate, backlit, he looked like a demon god emerging from hell.

All the officials in the hall trembled violently.

next second.

"Young General Lin, spare my life!!"

The Grand Tutor was the first to react. He used all his strength to slam his forehead hard onto the gold brick, making a dull thud.

"This old minister is guilty! This old minister was blinded by that traitor Xia Jie! I only learned of General Lin's wrongful conviction today after seeing the heavens! I beg the young general to investigate thoroughly!"

The Grand Tutor's words were like lighting a powder keg.

"Yes, Young General! We were forced into this!"

"Xia Jie was tyrannical and cruel; we've long wanted to rebel against him, but we've never had the chance!"

"I have the ledgers showing Xia Jie embezzled military funds! I'm willing to offer them to the young general, only asking that you spare my life!"

"I! I'm suing the Minister of Personnel! He's Xia Jie's number one lackey! He orchestrated the Lin family's case!"

The Minister of Personnel, whose name was mentioned, turned pale instantly. He no longer cared about his dignity and started cursing at the other party.

"You're talking nonsense! You took the most bribes back then! Now you want to throw the dirty water on me?"

The entire Hall of Supreme Harmony was instantly transformed into a bustling market.

Cries, pleas for mercy, and curses and biting at each other filled the air.

These pillars of the nation, who usually appear dignified and authoritative in the imperial court, now reveal the ugliest side of human nature in order to survive.

Lin Mo stood quietly at the door, watching this ridiculous farce unfold.

His gaze slowly swept over each face contorted with fear.

Among these people are those who kicked someone when they were down, those who remained silent, and those who cheered and shouted slogans.

None of them are innocent.

Lin Mo's gaze finally settled on the Grand Tutor kneeling at the front.

He slowly stepped into the main hall, his feet crunching over the wood chips scattered on the ground.

His footsteps were not loud, but they sounded like the death knell, instantly drowning out all the noise in the hall.

Everyone fell silent, watching in horror as he approached step by step.

Lin Mo walked up to the Grand Tutor and stopped.

The Grand Tutor trembled even more violently, and a surge of heat gushed from his crotch, instantly soaking his magnificent court robes.

He didn't even dare to look up.

Lin Mo ignored him and continued walking forward, heading straight up the nine-tiered white marble staircase.

Finally, he stopped in front of the dragon throne, which symbolized supreme power.

He did not sit down.

Instead, he turned around and looked down at the kneeling officials below.

The entire hall was deathly silent; you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone held their breath, awaiting their final judgment.

a long time.

Lin Mo finally spoke.

His voice was calm, yet it was like a cold knife, piercing into everyone's heart.

He looked at the Grand Tutor, who was trembling like a leaf, and asked calmly.

"Grand Tutor, wasn't it right here in this very hall that my father was brought to the capital and convicted of treason?"

The Grand Tutor's body stiffened abruptly, as if struck by lightning.

A cold smile curved at the corners of Lin Mo's lips.

"Tell me, what did you all say back then?"
