There are so many people with the surname Tantai, even among the children of the previous emperor, only one child can ascend to the throne, and the rest will become ordinary clan members after five generations.

In the Beichen Empire, clan status is equivalent to nobility within five generations.

After five generations, they can only be ordinary citizens.

The Tantai clan also has its own management organization, called Jinfu, which, like other clans, is responsible for managing clan members and taking care of clan properties.

The members of the clan who can serve in the Forbidden Palace have been close relatives of the emperor throughout the ages, not the kind of distant relatives who are separated by more than five generations.

And these people, who themselves had received countless benefits from the emperor, actually falsified their background checks.

Tantai Hongyuan shuddered when he thought of the serious consequences of doing so.

He rubbed his chin with his hand, slowly stretched out his fingers one by one, and gave orders to Huo Yushen.

"First, these one hundred and seventy-two members of the clan, including their wives, husbands and adult children, even married children, must be taken to the royal hunting ground and shot. In addition, all the people in the clan must be called.

The members of the clan who serve in the imperial palace looked on."

"Second, all the property of these 172 clan members will be confiscated from the inner treasury. Their minor children will all be demoted to civilians and sent to orphanages. They will not be allowed to continue to have the surname Tantai."

"Third, this operation does not need to be kept secret. Not only does it not need to be kept secret, but it also needs to be publicized! I just want to show those people what will happen if they offend me!"

"They may have forgotten that once the emperor is offended, millions of people will be killed, or blood will be shed for thousands of miles!"

After Tantai Hongyuan finished speaking impassionedly, his official Zhongshu had already written the edict beside him.

Tantai Hongyuan read it carefully and then stamped it with the jade seal himself.

Only when Huo Yushen acted with this imperial edict stamped with jade seal could he become famous.

He turned around and left, bringing with him a lingering sense of chilling.

Watching his retreating figure, the official Zhongshu beside Tantai Hongyuan's eyes flickered and asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, you have given Inspector Huo such great power, so don't worry..."

Before he finished speaking, Tantai Hongyuan suddenly drew his sword.

Bah!

The sword flashed, and the Zhongshu official's head flew completely from his neck. The blood on his neck was flying all the way. After landing, he rolled to the door before stopping.

Tantai Hongyuan coldly threw down his sword and said: "Here comes someone."

Several royal guards walked in with their heads lowered, and without Tantai Hongyuan's orders, they carried the body, picked up the head, cleaned the ground, and wiped the emperor's blood-stained saber.

But when he was about to send the sword up, Tantai Hongyuan waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "This sword has seen blood. I don't want to keep it with me. I will reward you."

The man was overjoyed and quickly knelt down on one leg, holding a knife and pestle in his back, saluting Tantai Hongyuan and saying: "Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty! Long live my emperor!"

His Majesty the Emperor's sword, no matter how bad it is, is still at the level of a precious sword. It may still be a cultural relic. Even in a noble family, it can be used as a heirloom and passed down.

The guard was so happy that his face turned red.

Tantai Hongyuan smiled slightly and waved his hand to make them all retreat.

After the inner guard left, the study looked completely new, as if the knife had never appeared before.

There were no heads falling beside the wall, and the young and handsome official of Zhongshu seemed to have never existed.

A plump woman wearing a dark purple floor-length tutu came out of a small door carved with branches in the royal study.

She played with a small jade bone fan in her hand, smiled and bowed to Tantai Hongyuan: "Your Majesty."

Tantai Hongyuan laughed as soon as he saw her: "Jiuyi, you're here. Come and sit. I didn't scare you just now, did I?"

This woman is Quan Jiuyi from the Quan family.

She opened the jade bone fan, covered half of her face, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I am not a person who has never seen the world. I am just a subordinate official of Zhongshu who is sowing discord. If I don't kill him, can I still keep him for the New Year?

"

"Well said!" Tantai Hongyuan laughed loudly, "Jiu Yi still has the courage and courage! A woman will not be inferior to a man!"

Quan Jiuyi smiled and said nothing.

Tantai Hongyuan opened a piece of snow-white Ningxue paper, picked up a red pen, and wrote a big word "forbearance".

He said with emotion: "The word "tolerance" has a knife on its head. Even if I were the emperor, I would still have to endure it!"

Quan Jiuyi sneered and did not answer.

Everyone knows that since the establishment of the constitutional monarchy, imperial power has fallen by the wayside, and it is no longer an era in which imperial power was consistent in its words.

But this emperor was different from his ancestors who were drunk and dreaming.

Quite ambitious.

Quan Jiuyi waved his fan gently, and a pleasant breeze swept by.

Tantai Hongyuan threw away the ink pen in his hand and said with interest: "Jiu Yi, let's leave the palace incognito and go see Inspector Huo kill someone, okay?"

Quan Jiuyi smiled: "Your Majesty has your orders, and no one dares to disobey them."

With that said, the two of them changed into ordinary people's clothes, put on hoods with human faces, and quietly left the palace under the protection of the royal guards.

The two of them did not take the aircraft, but took a self-driving car and headed all the way to the royal hunting ground outside the city.

At this time, Huo Yushen was nervously mobilizing troops and generals to fulfill the emperor's request.

He asked one of his elite action teams, Yaizhen, to lead one hundred and seventy-two teams to rush to the homes of the one hundred and seventy-two clan members.

According to the records in the imperial population management database, everyone in the families of these clans, except for minor children, would be taken to the royal hunting grounds outside the city for execution.

Among the one hundred and seventy-two clan members involved in the case, the oldest is seventy-three years old and the youngest is thirty years old, both of whom are old enough to support a family.

Therefore, there are indeed many people involved.

Their wives, husbands, children, and if married, their children’s husbands or wives.

A total of 3,612 people, after verifying their biological information, had their hands tied behind their backs and their mouths gagged, and were driven into the back compartments of large open trucks from Beichen Street, the busiest street in the Beichen Star Imperial Capital.

He swaggered through the city and rushed all the way to the royal hunting ground outside the city like lightning.

Because the emperor had ordered that there was no need to hide it anymore, Huo Yushen's men spread all the recent events in the royal family.

So within three minutes, the entire empire's star network was full of news about this incident.

#surprise!Princess Jing was assassinated! The queen blocked the gun on behalf of her daughter!#.

#Collusion within and outside the clan! Conspiracy to assassinate direct members of the royal family! The crime shall be punished!#.

#palacecleansing!Who is behind the scenes!#.

# Imperial power gives way again and again! Life or death is at stake! There is no way out!#.

…

At this time, She Zhuyin did not join in the fun.

She was wearing a very ordinary middle-aged woman's human face hood, a dark brown top and overalls, and a white sanitary cap on her head. She was pushing a cleaning trolley filled with various cleaning supplies.

With a humble smile on his face, he bowed and walked into a bar.

This was also given to her by Huo Yushen, a stronghold of the Judge Organization in the Imperial Capital.

This bar is located in a more than 300-story commercial building on Night Spirit Street in the Imperial Capital. It is famous as the noisiest, most chaotic, and most crowded bar in the entire Imperial Capital.

It occupies the three lowest floors of the building.

The shape of the bar is decorated like an upside-down lotus.

She Zhuyin didn't know why before, but now she understands.

It was not yet the normal opening hours of the bar, but the bar and dance floors were still full of people.

Many people even came here last night and didn't even have time to go home.

Some people may be hungover, but some people don't want to go anywhere and would rather call Lianxin Bar their home.

There is a particularly attractive advertisement at the gate here.

A three-dimensional holographic image of a beautiful woman who is tightly wrapped and whose figure is clearly visible is a living sign.

She didn't need to speak, she just had a wistful look on her face. After a few minutes, she turned around, and her high-slit close-fitting skirt fluttered in the wind, revealing a glimpse of those beautiful things under the clothes.

This kind of temptation is more exciting than taking off your clothes directly.

She Zhuyin pushed the cleaner's trolley and walked in, found the lobby manager there and said, "Manager Hui, I was sent to clean by the Swift Cleaning Company."

Manager Na Hui is a middle-aged woman in her forties, but she is well-maintained and her charm is still there. Hearing this, he waved his hand: "Okay, the old rule is, there is no need to clean the third floor, only the first and second floors. Still.

There’s no need to clean the basement.”

She Zhuyin did a simple survey before coming here and knew that the first and second floors of the Lotus Bar were where they received the most customers, and these two places had to be cleaned once a day.

The third floor is where they receive distinguished guests, and the basement is where their internal employees stay.

She Zhuyin's immense mental power wiped out all three floors of the bar, as well as the basement.

Just in that flash of lightning, she already knew clearly how many people were here, what they were doing and what they were saying.

The place on the third floor that entertains distinguished guests was empty at this time, probably because the distinguished guests would not come here so early.

But on the dance floor on the first floor, where the crowd was the loudest, there was a man and a woman sitting.
