Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

"It's not impossible to transfer him, but it's a pity that if I can't kill him this time, it will be difficult to kill him in the future. I've made a great vengeance against him this time!"

At this moment, the Xiao family's housekeeper came running over in panic and whispered a few words in the ear of the Xiao family head.

The next moment, the Xiao family leader's face changed drastically. He stood up in disbelief and asked, "What did you just say? More than 5,000 people, all killed?"

"Kill them all!"

The official swallowed in fear. "The spies who came back from outside have confirmed that the streets are full of dead bodies. All those who rushed into the city today were killed without a single one left alive."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present stood up in disbelief.

"Over 5,000 civilians! How dare he just kill them like that?"

"I've seen ruthless people, but I've never seen anyone this ruthless. Does he really not care about the impeachment of the court officials at all?"

The housekeeper continued with a mournful expression, "Clan leader, not only that, but our Xiao family is already surrounded by Black Guards. When the spies outside returned, they didn't stop them, but those who tried to leave were shot to death by crossbows the moment they stepped out of the gate."

Clan leader, the Xuanyi Guards are about to attack our Xiao family!"

This time, everyone was completely panicked.

"How dare he? How dare he?"

"He just killed over 5,000 civilians, and now he's going to attack our big families. How dare he be so brazen?"

"What a fool! This guy is a complete fool! He just wants to kill people without caring about the consequences, and he doesn't care about the rules of the officialdom! If he does this, the court will be shaken. Not even the emperor can protect him!"

"Let's not talk about this for now. Whether the emperor will protect him or not is a matter for the future. If we can't get through this, we're done for now!"

Boom boom boom!

At this moment, there was a loud banging sound outside. The face of the Xiao family member changed drastically. He knew that the Xuanyi Guards had started to bang on the door.

Taking a deep breath, the head of the Xiao family muttered a few words to the butler, and then the butler hurried out of the hall, as if to prepare something.

"Everyone, this is a blessing, not a disaster. If it is a disaster, you can't avoid it. Come with me out to take a look!"

As he spoke, he stood up first and walked out of the hall. As he walked out, hundreds of black-clad warriors began to gather in the Xiao family manor.

.....

After breaking open the gate of the Xiao family, a group of Xuanyiwei cavalry entered one after another, and Song Xuan walked in surrounded by the crowd.

When I entered the Xiao family compound, I saw the head of the Xiao family waiting there early. There were more than ten dancers in the yard. They were dressed very thinly, with important positions looming, and they were dancing gracefully, which was very visually impactful.

Seeing this scene, Song Xuan couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

No, are you sick?

I've brought people here to confiscate your property and exterminate your clan, but you're still busy watching erotic dances before you die. What's the matter? Are you still thinking about having sex before you die?

To be honest, Song Xuan had met quite a few people, but this scene still made him a little confused.

Is it now popular among people from these big families to dance in front of graves?

"Chief Xiao, what are you doing?"

In response to Song Xuan's question, Patriarch Xiao did not respond, but clapped his hands.

Then, teams of servants came into the backyard, carrying large boxes. Hundreds of boxes were placed densely.

As the boxes were opened one by one, the glittering gold and silver luster almost blinded everyone's eyes.

In some boxes, rows of gold ingots were placed, while in some boxes, strings of pearls and agates were placed.

In comparison, the boxes filled with silver seemed extremely ordinary.

Hundreds of boxes were opened, and huge wealth was right before their eyes. Song Xuan could clearly feel that the breathing of many of the Xuanyi Guards behind him had become heavier.

Song Xuan glanced at the gold, silver and jewels calmly and said calmly, "That's it?"

Patriarch Xiao continued to clap his hands.

Four women walked into the backyard.

These four people looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. Their slender figures were filled with youthfulness, and their skin looked even whiter under the light of the lanterns.

The most important thing is that these four girls gave birth to babies that were exactly the same. In this era, twins were rare, and quadruplets were even rarer.

At this moment, Chief Xiao finally spoke, "The pacification envoy is so bold, decisive, and ruthless, I have never seen such a thing in my life!"

As he spoke, he bowed deeply towards Song Xuan and said, "It is my own fault that I was blind and didn't recognize your ability. I wanted to fight against a rock with an egg. It's really ridiculous."

"Now that we have repented, we still hope that you can give us a chance. As long as you open your mouth, whether it's money or women, anything can be discussed!"

Song Xuan looked him up and down, "You are quite capable of bending and stretching, you are indeed a man of character!"

Patriarch Xiao's face lit up with joy, "Master, do you agree?"

Song Xuan shook his head, "It's too late. If you could have been so sensible before the mob entered the city, I really wouldn't mind having an extra dog like yours in the Xiao family.

But now, my Xuanyi Guards have killed thousands of people. Even though they are a mob, the Emperor must give a proper explanation!"

Patriarch Xiao's expression changed. "What do you want to say, sir?"

Song Xuan chuckled, "Except for the Jiang family that has already been dealt with, the wealth of your other families, if converted, would be worth at least several hundred million taels of silver, right?

I think that after spending a few hundred million taels of silver, even if I wipe out a few families, the emperor can turn a blind eye to the impeachment of the entire court. What do you think, Patriarch Xiao?"

The Xiao family leader was silent for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Sir, you killed people and exterminated the entire clan, wasn't it just to get some money?

We might as well just cut out the middleman.

We will sell our land, shops, and property to raise 500 million taels of silver for you within a month. What do you think?"

Song Xuan still shook his head.

Chief Xiao took a deep breath and said, "Sir, even if we had a grudge before, what grudge can't be resolved with 500 million taels of silver?

Why would you go toe-to-toe with money just to have a grudge?"

Chapter 107 If there is no blue sky in this world, then I, Song Xuan, will be the blue sky!

Song Xuan smiled.

"I've already said this. If you had surrendered earlier, before you incited the mob to riot, you might have had a chance of survival. But now, it's too late!"

There was murderous intent in his eyes, and he slowly raised his hand. The Xuanyi Guards began to clench their swords.

They knew that the moment the pacification envoy's hand fell, it would be the time for them to start a massacre.

"Song Xuan, are you really crazy?!"

The Xiao clan leader panicked, "Minister of War Wang Guo is from my Xiao family, and many of the second and third rank civil servants in the court are old friends of my Xiao family!

How are you going to explain to the court after you act so recklessly and harm local clans?

Can you afford this price?"

"Explain?"

Song Xuan nodded. "You're right. I do need to give an explanation. But this explanation isn't to the court. It's to the over a hundred civilians who were raped, looted, and killed in the city, as well as the nearly a thousand casualties. I do need to give them an explanation!"

At this moment, his eyes became extremely cold, and the murderous intent in his eyes seemed to be tangible.

Song Xuan has never been a good person. He is the kind who kills people without blinking an eye.

But he has his own set of rules in dealing with people. He knows better than anyone who should be killed and who should not be killed.

These aristocratic families treat the common people as grass, and similarly, he, Song Xuan, can also treat them as ants!

Feeling her brother's murderous intent, Song Qian, dressed in black armor, took a step forward heroically, and the voice with a cold breath slowly sounded in the Xiao family compound.

"We have investigated the six major families of Yangzhou, namely the Xiao, Sun, Zhou, Liu, Qi, and Wu families, for inciting rioters to attack government offices with the intention of rebellion. The evidence is irrefutable. I hereby order the arrest and confiscation of all their property. Not a single one of them shall be let off unjustly!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the head of the Xiao family felt a black screen in front of his eyes and fell to the ground with a thud. He was lying on the ground and was even roaring in confusion.

"Song Xuan, are you sick?

What do those dead and injured civilians have to do with you? They were just a bunch of lowly commoners. Just because a few of them died, you're going to take down several of my families. Do you really think you're the Lord?!"

Song Xuan walked up to him, and as he walked, the people around the head of the Xiao family stepped back one after another, and then Song Xuan stepped on his neck.

“The lives of your Xiao family are lives, but the lives of the people are not lives?

You don't care about their lives, and likewise, I don't care about your own lives either!

You asked me if I considered myself a magistrate? Well, I'm telling you right now, yes, I am!

If there is no blue sky in this world, then I, Song Xuan, am the blue sky! "

Chief Xiao stared at him in shock, "You, you... The ruler of the Great Zhou is the Son of Heaven, and you want to be the ruler, you want to be above the Son of Heaven?

Traitor, you are the traitor, Song Xuan, you are the real traitor..."

Before he could finish his words, Song Xuan stepped on his neck with force, and with a click, the old man's neck was broken and he died on the spot.

As soon as the head of the Xiao family died, just when everyone was leaderless, the eldest son of the Xiao family gritted his teeth and waved his hand. Immediately, the brave and courageous warriors that the family had raised rushed up, each holding a sharp weapon and confronting the Xuanyi Guards on the opposite side.

Song Xuan withdrew his foot from the corpse, without even looking at the dead old man on the ground, and said calmly, "Capture them all. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Xuanyiwei Tiqi who had been waiting for a long time drew their swords and stepped forward, ready to arrest the person.

At this moment, a rather majestic female voice suddenly sounded.

"Let's see who dares!"

The next moment, a plump and elegant woman dressed in jewels came quickly, surrounded by a group of maids.

"Ma'am, you're here!"

Seeing who was coming, the eldest son of the Xiao family was surprised and said, "My wife has come at the right time. Come on, save our Xiao family!"

Among the Xuanyi Guards, some captains recognized the woman's identity and looked hesitant. One of the captains whispered a few words in Song Xuan's ear.

Song Xuan frowned slightly and looked at the other party, "Prince Huai's legitimate daughter, Princess Jinlian?"

"It's this princess!"

The woman raised her head proudly and stared at Song Xuan with disdain. "You, the Xuanyi Guard, are just a dog raised by my Tian family. What's the matter? You want to bite your master when you grow up?"

Song Xuan looked calm, as if he didn't care about the other party's insults at all. He just said lightly: "For the sake of King Huai, if you leave the Xiao family now, I will not kill you!"

When Song Xuan said this, not to mention everyone else, even the princess was stunned. She looked around with some suspicion, as if she was not sure if she had just heard it wrong.

"You want to kill me?"

Princess Jinlian laughed heartily, "Did I hear correctly? You dare to kill me? Murdering a member of the Heavenly Family is a powerful clan that can punish nine generations of the clan. Do you dare?"

"It seems that the princess really doesn't intend to leave and insists on getting involved in this mess?"

"So what? Since I've already married into the Xiao family, I'm a member of the Xiao family in life and a ghost of the Xiao family in death. If you want to touch the Xiao family, then you'd better step on me first!"

Princess Jinlian simply didn't believe that this man surnamed Song would dare to kill people in public, and she looked down on him at all.

"In that case, then it's as you wish!"

Song Xuan looked indifferent, raised his finger and tapped lightly.

The next moment, Princess Jinlian felt a sky full of stars appear before her eyes, and countless stars eventually turned into a ray of light and entered her body.

“It’s so hot, so hot…”

A tiny hole appeared between her eyebrows, blood gurgled out, and her consciousness fell into complete darkness.

"Prince Huai's Mansion colluded with the Xiao family and other prominent Yangzhou clans to incite the people to riot and attack the government, intending to rebel. Now that the evidence is irrefutable, no one can escape and must be apprehended! Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"

Song Xuan's voice was indescribably cold.

As his eyes swept across, the Xuanyi guards behind him who were originally hesitant rushed forward one by one.

Today they finally witnessed how cruel their master was. He killed more than 5,000 people at will, and even showed no mercy to important figures like the princess.

Who would dare to disobey the orders of such a ruthless person at this moment?

The sounds of killing and roaring rang out in all parts of the Xiao family. How could the death warriors raised by the Xiao family compete with the Xuanyiwei, a specialized violent organization?

Almost at the first encounter, the defense line formed by the death squad was directly broken up, leaving behind hundreds of corpses.

In the Xiao family courtyard, those Xiao family members who saw the situation was not good knelt down and surrendered directly. The better off were they, and they temporarily saved their lives. However, those who refused to surrender eventually turned into cold corpses on the ground.

Song Xuan watched all this indifferently, his eyes wandering over the patriarchs of the Sun family, Zhou family and other families who were trembling and kneeling on the ground.

Then he waved to the head of the Hu family, who looked uneasy.

The head of the Hu family had a look of surprise on his face. In front of the other clan leaders who were stunned, he trotted up to Song Xuan and knelt down with a thud.
