The Burial Tower of Immortals buries the heavens, the earth, and all the immortals.

Eunuch Wei has received the Empress's decree that Qin Changye must be killed today.

To everyone's surprise, Qin Changye accepted the imperial edict directly.

After returning, he had no way to explain himself to the Empress, so he had no choice but to get involved himself, frame Qin Changye, anger Qin Changye, and ultimately kill Qin Changye.

The whole place erupted in chaos.

The incident happened so suddenly that they didn't even see clearly whether Eunuch Wei was really pushed down by Qin Changye.

However, Wei Gonggong's acting skills were too superb, and his ability to splash dirty water was also first-rate. His vivid and emotional expression, his grief and indignation, was very seductive and did not seem fake at all.

The three people beside him, including Ren Pingsheng, instantly flew into a rage.

Others may not be able to see it clearly, but those of them who have reached the King Martial Realm can see it very clearly.

Qin Changye didn't touch Eunuch Wei at all; it was Eunuch Wei who fell backward on his own.

This is intolerable! This uncle can tolerate it, but this aunt cannot!

Ren Pingsheng and his two companions rolled up their sleeves, ready to tear apart Eunuch Wei's mouth, which was twisting the truth.

Qin Changye stopped them, walked up to Eunuch Wei, and stretched out his right hand, as if to pull him up from the ground.

A hint of suspicion flashed in Eunuch Wei's eyes. At this moment, he was playing the role of the victim who had been pushed down. If he refused Qin Changye's kindness, it would make him seem guilty.

Almost instinctively, he grabbed Qin Changye's outstretched hand.

However, the moment their hands clasped, another unexpected event occurred.

Ren Pingsheng felt something cold and hard being placed in his hand.

He looked down instinctively and saw a sharp dagger.

At that moment, Qin Changye was bending down to pull him up, and the sharpest tip of the dagger was pressed against Qin Changye's chest.

The image freezes at that moment.

Qin Changye's face showed astonishment, shock, and disbelief: "Eunuch Wei, our Qin Prince's Mansion has indeed declined, and anyone can come and kick it while it's down. But don't forget, my father and my grandfather fought for many years and made great contributions to the Great Zhou Dynasty. They are meritorious officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now, only I am left in the Qin Prince's Mansion. Are you going to spare me too? Are you determined to wipe out the Qin Prince's Mansion?"

Qin Changye's voice wasn't loud, but every word resonated deep within everyone's ears.

Without giving Eunuch Wei a chance to defend himself, Qin Changye continued to question, "If those soldiers who fought bloody battles on the border knew that the Great Zhou they risked their lives to protect was treating their families like this, who would still be willing to risk their lives for the Great Zhou? Aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of soldiers across the land?"

Eunuch Wei was completely dumbfounded.

How come this kid's acting is better than mine?

They're also better at splashing dirty water...

The onlookers around were all deeply moved.

Just moments ago they were laughing at Qin Changye for accepting the imperial decree, as if he were courting death. But now, Qin Changye's words have stirred up the deepest anger and sympathy in their hearts.

Qin Changye may be a bit absurd at times, but his father Qin Wuyai and grandfather Qin Kuangzhan were both great heroes who shed countless blood and suffered countless injuries for the Great Zhou and made outstanding contributions to the stability of the Great Zhou!

Now, one has been dead for less than a year, and the other's fate remains unknown.

The blood that the Qin family shed for the Great Zhou Dynasty had not yet dried, and someone wanted to assassinate the last remaining member of the Qin family.

In an instant, many onlookers turned red in the eyes and cast angry glances at Eunuch Wei.

By bestowing a marriage upon Zhao Qingcheng, they have already gone too far.

Now they want to assassinate Qin Changye? This is too much and too disheartening!

Having inexplicably angered the public, Eunuch Wei was speechless.

In terms of shamelessness, he's met his match!

He opened his mouth as if to explain something, but the dagger was in his hand, pressed against Qin Changye's chest. What could he possibly explain?

The evidence is irrefutable; the more you try to explain, the worse it gets.

At the same time, Qin Changye's grief and indignation did not diminish but instead intensified, and his questioning voice rang out like thunder: "Eunuch Wei, at least let me die knowing why. Was my assassination your doing? Or Her Majesty the Empress's?"

Eunuch Wei's expression changed drastically. Her Majesty the Empress did indeed want Qin Changye dead, but in public, he absolutely could not say that it was Her Majesty the Empress's will.

He wasn't stupid; he understood that once he admitted it, he would be confirming that Her Majesty the Empress had persecuted the descendants of loyal officials.

That would be a crime that shakes the foundation of the nation, and it would be recorded in history, leaving an infamy for eternity.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Eunuch Wei could only grit his teeth and reply, "It's...it's just that I don't like you, it has nothing to do with His Majesty."

puff!

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Changye drew his sword. The ink-black blade traced a sharp arc in the morning light and instantly pierced through Wei Gonggong's chest.

It was so fast that no one could see it clearly.

Before Eunuch Wei could react, a sword pierced his chest, chilling him to the bone!

"I knew it. Her Majesty the Empress is wise and powerful, and loves her people like her own children. She would never kill the descendants of loyal officials."

Qin Changye did not rush to draw his ink sword, but instead stirred it inside Eunuch Wei's chest: "It must be you, eunuch, who harbored treacherous intentions and sought revenge, almost tarnishing Her Majesty the Empress's great image in everyone's hearts. Today, I will remove the treacherous officials around Her Majesty the Empress and restore her innocence."

Wei Gonggong's heart was completely shattered, and his body collapsed with a thud.

He never imagined that Qin Changye would actually dare to kill him, even under the pretext of eliminating treacherous officials for Her Majesty the Empress.

Thus, not only could the Empress not avenge him, but she also had to reluctantly accept this explanation.

His death was as insignificant as a feather!

After killing Eunuch Wei, Qin Changye did not put his body into the Burial Immortal Tower, because with his cultivation level, he was not qualified.

Then, Qin Changye's gaze swept over the armored and armed Imperial Guards behind Eunuch Wei.

The imperial guards looked at each other, their hands gripping their weapons frozen in place, unsure whether to advance or not.

Since Eunuch Wei was their superior and was executed on the spot, they should not stand idly by.

However, the reason for Wei Gonggong's execution was "to eliminate treacherous officials for Her Majesty the Empress." If they avenge Wei Gonggong, wouldn't that confirm that they are also accomplices?

"Gentlemen, the imperial decree has been received, and the treacherous officials have been eliminated. Why don't you hurry back to report?"

Qin Changye offered them a way out at the opportune moment.

The imperial guards, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, turned and left without looking back.

As fellow soldiers, they had no intention of killing Qin Changye, a descendant of the War King.

"Brother Qin, please wait!"

Just as Qin Changye was about to enter Wanbaoge, a person suddenly stood out from the crowd.

He was short in stature, with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks, and a pair of eyes that were barely bigger than mung beans, yet they gleamed with a cunning light.

Qin Changye recognized him at a glance: Zhen Renyi, the young master of the Vice Minister of Rites.

This guy is able to thrive in the capital city entirely because of his shamelessness and swindling of his brothers.

Over the years, the person he cheated the most was the original owner of this body.

Since his rebirth, Qin Changye has been busy killing people and hasn't had a chance to settle accounts with this guy yet, but he took the initiative to step forward.

Qin Changye wanted to see how he would put on his act this time.
