Jinyiwei's psychic case: the opening is Lingbo Weibu

Chapter 1231

When Xu Shan made these remarks without any hesitation, the once silent scene was instantly filled with gasps of astonishment.

Ma Ruteng, who was named, stood there pale-faced and trembling uncontrollably.

His mind went blank, but his eyes were filled with panic.

The heads of other powerful families who had just formed an alliance with the Cui family were now somewhat at a loss.

They were even weighing the pros and cons in their minds.

If anyone else had said that, they would have scoffed.

The one who could speak was the Duke of the Great Ming Dynasty, and also Xu the Butcher, who had a history of massacring noble families and aristocratic clans!

What does he mean?

Is the imperial court really preparing to take action against the Cui family of Qinghe?

No worries, the logistics supply of Beiliang will be directly paralyzed?

Or is it just an act?

But no matter what, they and Ma Ruteng are all in a state of panic right now!

"Duke Xu..."

"This is Qinghe!"

He knew that if he didn't speak up at this moment, it would definitely cause a rift between the newly allied family heads.

Therefore, Old Master Cui roared directly on the spot.

"Haha."

Upon hearing this, Xu Shan burst into unrestrained and arrogant laughter.

His laughter was filled with disdain and contempt.

"Don't even mention that Qinghe is still part of the Ming Dynasty's territory..."

"Even if this place is occupied by the Tartars today."

"Who can stop me, Xu Shan, from doing whatever I want?"

At this point, Xu Shan, who was glaring at Old Master Cui, pointed to Yuan Qingshan behind him and said, "Relying on him?"

‘Gulu. ’

Upon hearing Xu Shan's words, everyone present couldn't help but swallow hard.

Previously, they had only heard that Xu Rentu was arrogant and domineering towards everyone.

Now I've truly seen it for myself!

Meeting Old Master Cui's angry gaze, he glanced at Yuan Qingshan, who was brimming with murderous intent...

Xu Shan finally turned his gaze to the heads of the prominent families, including Ma Ruteng, and said, "What should be said, and what shouldn't be said, I, the Duke, have already made it clear!"

"As for how to choose..."

"The decision is entirely up to you!"

"You only have this chance."

"No exceptions after the expiration date!"

After a brief pause, Xu Shan added, "Since the Cui family does not welcome me, then I will wait at the door."

"Wait until you finish this meal."

After saying this, Xu Shan prepared to turn around.

'Pah-ta-ta.'

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps approached and reached everyone's ears.

"Master, no, it's not good."

"What's the panic? What kind of behavior is this?"

Upon seeing this, Old Master Cui was immediately enraged.

He was already seething with anger, and seeing the other person like this only fueled his fury.

"Yes Yes!"

"Old, master..."

"Qinghe was completely surrounded by the Northern Liang army and the Central Plains Tiger Warriors."

"They are all waving the 'Xu' flag."

'boom! ’

Upon hearing the servant's words, the entire scene erupted in uproar.

In that instant, all the guests present, including the Cui family, realized that Xu Shan's harsh words were not just empty threats.

They're serious!

"Duke Xu, what does this mean?"

"You have arbitrarily mobilized troops and besieged the entire Qinghe. Does the imperial court know about this?"

"Aren't you afraid of His Majesty's punishment?"

Watching Xu Shan about to leave, Old Master Cui, suppressing his anger, asked in front of everyone.

"Yo!"

"Old Master Cui, you did know that His Majesty would punish us?"

"The troops stationed in Yizhou, Dongping, and Dezhou have all dared to aid and abet the tyrant and besiege Wucheng."

"Shouldn't our own citizens trace the source and apprehend the culprit?"

"you……"

"Upon mentioning this matter, the Emperor sent messengers to contact the prefects of Yizhou, Dongping, and Dezhou. They were informed that they had all come to congratulate the Cui family, is that correct?"

"Where is the man?"

Upon hearing Xu Shan's words, the three prefects, still dressed in their official robes and there to support the Cui family, stepped forward with cold sweat on their foreheads and said, "Your humble servants pay their respects to Duke Xu!"

"I wonder what business the Duke has with us?"

"The commanders and some generals of the garrison in Yizhou, Dongping, and Dezhou were beheaded by the Embroidered Uniform Guard last night for treason."

"According to the Ming law, the crime of treason is punishable by the extermination of three generations of one's family."

"My lords, when you return, don't forget to have all three of their families arrested by this Duke."

‘Wow! ’

Xu Shan's words were like pouring water into a boiling pot of oil, instantly causing an uproar throughout the Cui family's ancestral home.

They were well aware that one of the fundamental reasons why the Cui family of Qinghe was able to stand in this place was that they controlled a considerable amount of military power.

This forced the imperial court to compromise for the sake of the overall situation.

But now?

Judging from what Duke Xu said, the garrisons in Dezhou, Dongping, and Yizhou have all been wiped out?

Even the commander-in-chief was killed by the Embroidered Uniform Guard?

"Did you understand what I meant, Your Excellency?"

Seeing the three prefects standing there in a daze, Xu Shan asked in a more serious tone.

"I understand."

Faced with Xu Shan's powerful aura and the current situation, the three prefects, who had close ties with the Cui family, stammered their answers.

"Lord Xu, do you have evidence of treason by the troops stationed in the three locations?"

"Does the Embroidered Uniform Guard have the authority to execute court generals without trial?"

Many of the three generals who were killed and their subordinates had either marriage alliances or were relatives of the Cui family.

Therefore, upon hearing his order, she couldn't help but question him on the spot.

Upon hearing this, the Imperial Guard who had accompanied Xu Shan immediately retorted, "The Imperial Guard doesn't need evidence to kill someone."

"All I need is my family's approval!"

'Boom, boom, boom!'

As this Imperial Guard uttered these words with an air of dominance, three deafening sounds echoed from behind the Cui family's ancestral home.

As a result, the area where they were located also felt a noticeable tremor.

"What's going on?"

"The direction of the explosion seems to be towards Cui Jiajian's temple, private school, and outer residence?"

Upon hearing the sound, everyone at the scene turned to look.

After determining the general direction, there was a lot of discussion among the people below.

Upon witnessing this scene, both Old Master Cui and Yuan Qingshan's expressions turned extremely grim.

No one knew better than them what these three places meant.

"Report!"

Just then, a member of the Imperial Guard rushed to Xu Shan's side, who had already turned around.

"Your Honor!"

"The secret passages connecting the Cui family ancestral home to the outside have all been destroyed."

"what?"

Hearing the shrill report from outside the door, everyone present finally understood why the Embroidered Uniform Guard had bombed these three locations.

Rabbits have three burrows!

It turns out that these three places were the secret escape routes and strongholds of the Cui family patriarch.

"understood!"

"Follow the plan."

"Without my order, not a single fly should be let out of Qinghe."

"Yes!"

After saying this, Xu Shan turned his head and looked meaningfully at Old Master Cui behind him.

That look seemed to be telling the other person: I've cut off all your backup plans.

Today, there is absolutely no chance for you to escape!
