Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

The fact that the Southern Wilderness King did not attend the morning court session emboldened these people even more.

As Bai Ye listened to the ministers' accusations against him, he simply kept his eyes closed, saying nothing and ignoring everything, as if he were asleep.

Finally, after the ministers had finished speaking, the Demon Emperor silenced them and asked Bai Yeye if he had anything to say.

After that, Shiraba Ye slowly opened his eyes and began to retaliate against one minister after another, making for a very exciting scene.

And just as those ministers were about to say something, they roared.

Bai Ye took out all the evidence from the storage bag!

After that, Bai Yeye recounted one crime after another committed by the Marquis of Pingshui, his thoughts were very clear, his speech was very articulate, and his tone was extremely calm.

The court was instantly rendered speechless.

After Bai Yeye finished speaking, Marquis Pingshui immediately knelt down and begged the Demon Emperor for mercy, no longer even bothering to argue.

The second prince frowned, not expecting things to develop this way.

What puzzled the Second Prince Bai Yu the most was how Bai Yeye managed to collect all this evidence.

In the Second Prince's view, it would take at least several decades to collect this evidence.

Moreover, they must leave the operation after Xu Jia's death.

Otherwise, time will erase many things.

Could it be that Bai Yeye immediately went to investigate when Xu Jia died?

How could that be? Shiraba is still an innocent little girl.

So, this evidence was given to Bai Yeye by Duan Bo to help her?

The second prince thought about it for a moment and quickly dismissed the idea.

Because the second prince also felt it was impossible.

Duan Bo does possess a great deal of intelligence about the Dark Butterfly Pavilion, but he is not omnipotent.

At that time, Xu Jia, the prefect of Pingshui County, had no connection whatsoever with Duan Bo.

At that time, Duan Bo was still taking Bai Ye Ye sightseeing, how could he possibly be investigating these things!

The second prince simply couldn't understand it.

However, before the Second Prince could figure it out, Bai Yeye directly posed three questions to the ministers:

"What crime have you committed by speaking up for the criminals who murdered court officials?!"

"You are all ignorant of right and wrong, attacking me at will, causing chaos in the court like a bustling marketplace. Do you even respect His Majesty?"

"I am the Director of the Verification and Conferment Office. Abolishing hereditary titles is my duty. I am only responsible to His Majesty. What right do you have to punish me? Do you want to be emperors yourselves?!"

When Bai Yeye finished speaking, all the ministers knelt down and shouted to the Demon Emperor, "Your Majesty, we dare not!"

Only Shiraba Ye could say Shiraba Ye's last words.

If it were anyone else, who would dare to ask the Demon Emperor, "Do you all want to be emperors?"

Putting everything else aside, the Demon Emperor will at least skin you alive.

But when Bai Yeye said it, it was a fatal blow.

After that, Bai Yeye began to use Lu Yuan's crimes to implicate the Second Prince, Bai Yu.

Bai Yeye submitted a memorial stating that "the Second Prince Bai Yu has a very close relationship with Lu Yuan."

Bai Yu also quickly apologized.

For a moment, in the imperial court, apart from the Demon Emperor who was still sitting, only Bai Yeye was standing, while everyone else was kneeling.

Ultimately, the Second Prince Bai Yu was forced to retreat into seclusion for a year to reflect on his mistakes due to his poor choice of friends.

Lu Yuan, the Prince of Pingshui, was guilty of heinous crimes and was imprisoned in the imperial prison. He was beheaded five days later, his family property was confiscated, all the male members of his family were exiled, and all the female members were sent to the Jiaosifang (a place for eunuchs and nuns).

Furthermore, the Demon Emperor appointed Zhu Qiu to wield the Emperor's Sword and enter Pingshui County to investigate everything. Anyone related to Xu Jia's death will have their entire family exterminated!

There were a whole host of other measures after that, but the specific details are not very clear.

In any case, after this court meeting, Shiraba Ye had completely seized the initiative.

Many people dare not easily provoke Shiraba.

Many people even avoid Shiraha Ye when they see her, fearing that she might target them...

After returning to the imperial city, Bai Yeye set her sights on two people.

One was the Duke of Le, and the other was the Marquis of Pingshui.

Their final fates were all death and confiscation of their property.

It's all miserable.

After hearing some things, Su Li became a little afraid of Bai Yeye.

Although it was he who told Baiye Ye about these things.

But I only provided a direction.

As for the specific operation, that's a very difficult thing.

However, all the white cypress leaves were dried, and they were all dried very beautifully, leaving one with nothing to criticize.

Following the court deliberations, many princes and counts sought out the princes they were loyal to, requesting their protection.

Because Shiraba Ye still needs to kill two kings and six earls!

The other three princes felt immense pressure because they discovered that their fifth sister was not just a pretty face.

For the next four days, everyone thought that Bai Yeye would take advantage of his rising popularity to make a big move.

But to everyone's surprise, Shiraba did nothing.

On the fifth day, Shiraba Ye issued an announcement.

From then on, all the princes and earls in the imperial court lived in fear.

Chapter 693 We have no objections! (4000 words)

On the fifth day after the Marquis of Pingyuan was convicted, Bai Yeye issued a public announcement.

This announcement was published in various newspapers in Guangzhou.

The content is as follows:

Since assuming the position of Director of the Imperial Seal Bureau, I have abolished one dukedom and one marquisate.

By imperial decree, I will also abolish the hereditary system of two marquises and six earls.

Now, I have evidence for all of you nobles and lords.

None of you are clean.

However, if any of you princes and earls were to come to me and voluntarily relinquish your hereditary status, then I would forgive and forget your past transgressions.

If not, I can only proceed according to official procedures, and I ask for your understanding.

This announcement was very short and was officially released through the Ministry of Personnel's Verification and Sealing Department.

In this announcement, Shiraba Ye did not name any person.

Although no one was specifically named, it seems as if everyone was mentioned at least once.

Because the kings and dukes of the Demon Kingdom are more or less somewhat unclean, are there any kings and dukes who are truly clean?

some.

But very few.

Moreover, these people, including princes and dukes, didn't care at all about their hereditary status.

In their view, future generations should rely on their own hard work.

His sons and grandsons were born into wealthy and noble families, giving them a much higher starting point than many others.

If one cannot achieve merit or earn a title through such means, then one's descendants are truly incompetent.

Therefore, they were at ease and accepted their lot, not caring at all about the hereditary status.

But other kings and nobles were different.

Perhaps they wanted to spare their descendants from such hardship, or perhaps they felt ashamed to lose their hereditary status and be unable to hold their heads high in front of others.

Therefore, they still want to retain the right to hereditary succession.

After Bai Yeye issued this announcement, the Demon Emperor also issued an imperial edict, which was worded in a very tactful way.

The translation is:

"The Fifth Princess's meaning is my meaning. If the Fifth Princess does not pursue the matter further, then I will not pursue the things that the various princes and nobles did before, as long as they do not repeat them."

This undoubtedly gave those kings and nobles a shot in the arm.

Who doesn't want to clear their name?

Who wants to live in constant fear?

Even if I don't get caught this time, what if someone else exposes what I did next? Wouldn't I be finished?

The Duke of Le and the Marquis of Pingshui are the best examples.

But this is the qualification for hereditary succession... it's no small matter...

Without hereditary succession, one's family is very likely to gradually decline.

These kings and nobles had to make a choice.

That is, will Shiraba Ye investigate me? Because I have also done a lot of dirty things.

If I were to voluntarily visit Bai Yeye and relinquish my hereditary title, at most my descendants would be unable to inherit it, but it would have no impact on me whatsoever.

Besides, the money I have now is enough for three generations to live on for a lifetime without running out.

Three generations later... what does that have to do with me?

It's your fault for being disappointing. Are you suggesting that if your descendants are disappointing, you should blame your ancestors?

If, before issuing this announcement, these nobles had secretly resolved to unite and challenge Bai Yeye...

Now, Bai Yeye has issued a statement, with the Demon Emperor endorsing it, indicating that he does not intend to exterminate them all, and has given himself this opportunity to surrender.

Then why should I risk my life?

And in the end, Shiraba Ye will eventually have to provide a list.

Despite the pressure, Shiraba Ye reluctantly submitted the list, which at worst resulted in impeachment and a permanent ban from holding office in the government.

But Bai Ye could be her princess.

And what about myself? If my name is on the list, wouldn't I lose my hereditary right to inherit the throne?

At this moment, Bai Yeye was like a wronged ghost; even if he were to be scattered to the winds, he could still take a few people with him on his journey...

Moreover, whoever bullies Bai Yeye the most, and whoever Bai Yeye dislikes the most, she can take that person away!

Therefore, many kings and nobles were tempted.

But being interested doesn't necessarily mean taking action.

They still plan to wait and see, since it's not the final time yet.

If some nobles or earls couldn't sit still any longer and went directly to Bai Yeye to confess their crimes and give up their hereditary status, wouldn't I be able to take advantage of the situation?

Therefore, two days after the announcement was made, not a single prince or earl visited the princess's residence.

It's as if these kings and nobles are virtuous gentlemen—I am innocent, I am righteous!

Bai Yeye had already anticipated the reactions of these nobles and earls.

The white cypress is growing way too fast.

Even though Su Li, who had been staying in the princess's residence, didn't know Bai Yeye's specific methods, he could always sense that Bai Yeye's aura was being restrained whenever he saw her.

If Bai Yeye, who was the lord of Crocodile City at the beginning, was an idealist who had to say everything because he couldn't sleep or eat properly over the smallest things...

By this time, Bai Yeye had already realized the cruel reality of the imperial court.
