Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister-Chapter 863 - 468: Chaos? Then Kill! (Part 2)

Hidden Kill has taken down one in the seventh layer of Dao Realm, while Great Yu has lost more than a dozen in the Dao Realm.

Let’s call it even.

Now, at this critical moment, Zhou feels the same way, so neither side wants to go to war.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Duke Qin slowly replies, but seems hesitant to continue.

"Imperial Uncle, speak freely."

"Then I shall speak, Your Majesty."

Duke Qin no longer hesitates and continues, "Zhan Tian’s actions have harmed many people’s interests, Your Majesty knows, those families, along with many ministers of Great Yu, more or less have some businesses."

"With the Three Judicial Departments patrolling daily, it harms their interests."

"There’s dissatisfaction brewing below."

"Hmph!"

Emperor Yu suddenly lets out a cold snort, causing the entire room to vibrate instantly.

"Officials and merchants are forbidden from colluding; I’ve been turning a blind eye all these years, yet they dare to be dissatisfied!"

Emperor Yu displays a look of anger.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to address it, but almost ninety-nine percent of Great Yu’s ministers belong to their own families, and collusion with businessmen is inevitable.

He can’t possibly deal with them all.

As long as they don’t cause trouble, he overlooks it.

The crucial point is that not only the ministers, but the Imperial Family is almost entirely involved, especially his sons, who are exceedingly reckless.

That’s why Zhan Tian is so bold; he’s guessed his intentions.

Of course, Emperor Yu is happy with that.

The Great Yu has issues; it needs a shake-up.

"Imperial Uncle, convey the message that each one should act with discretion. Several perilous areas are lacking people, if someone wishes to go, I am happy to send them."

Upon hearing this, Duke Qin takes a deep look at Emperor Yu.

"Yes, I will convey the message."

Since Emperor Yu has made up his mind, there is no need to persuade further.

Then slowly rises, bows slightly to Emperor Yu, "I take my leave."

"Hmm!"

...

Duke Qin conveyed Emperor Yu’s intention quickly, spreading through the upper echelons of the Imperial City.

Within the Fourth Prince’s Mansion.

Qin Hong appears troubled, not expecting his father to have such intentions.

If Rushi had known, he wouldn’t have sent people to Molan Mansion this time.

"No need for such concern, Your Highness. Compared to the other princes, your holdings are insignificant."

Wu Ma attempts to console him from the side.

"Hmm!"

Qin Hong nods; compared to them, his holdings are indeed few.

The eldest brother possesses the most.

His holdings span across the Great Yu Hundred Mansions, which is why he has so many followers.

"Instruct them to pass through several hands, ensuring a clear separation from my holdings."

Qin Hong ponders; abandonment is impossible for him, and it’s the same for his brothers.

Supporting numerous people in the background, the daily expenses are astronomical.

Contending for that position... isn’t easy.

....

"No wonder Zhan Tian is so audacious; that’s why."

Qin Tiandao mutters to himself. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"It seems like Your Majesty had this idea long ago, just..."

Mr. Wu pauses, looking at him with a solemn expression, "Just Great Yu’s ministers almost all hail from prominent families, their relationships are too entangled, the impact too significant. Although officials have long protested against the actions of the Three Judicial Departments, Your Majesty seems oblivious."

"The royal intentions are difficult to understand."

He involuntarily lets out a deep sigh at the end.

"It won’t succeed."

Qin Tiandao shakes his head.

In the tens of thousands of years of Great Yu, the ministers have all invariably come from these families.

The industries of these families have already penetrated every corner of Great Yu.

Moreover, intermarriage between families complicates things further.

Cleansing... is impossible!

Even if they were entirely cleansed, few would remain; who would fill those roles then?

No one!

Relying on the ordinary people?

What a joke!

A rarity over a thousand years.

Thus, even if his father and the Three Judicial Departments have done this, Qin Tiandao still believes cessation is inevitable.

Moreover....

At this moment, a hint of cold gleams in Qin Tiandao’s eyes.

The Three Judicial Departments will soon face their greatest crisis ever.

....

In the Three Judicial Departments.

In Zhan Tian’s private courtyard, Liu Sheng sits opposite him.

"Did you already anticipate Your Majesty’s intentions?"

Liu Sheng looks at him, an old geezer, irritable in nature, yet still an obdurate scoundrel.

Even he hadn’t predicted it, but this boor actually did.

This unsettles him slightly.

"Is it hard to see?"

Zhan Tian swirls his wine glass, speaking blandly.

"Great Yu’s officials primarily emerge from these families; like me, climbing up from the bottom, how many over tens of thousands of years?"

"As a minister of Great Yu, I don’t worry about their loyalty, but what about personal ambition?"

"These ministers have family backing; abusing power for personal gain is too easy."

"Great Yu has been sick for a long, long time; His Majesty is a wise ruler, he certainly knows, yet even he is powerless against this dilemma."

"Might as well let me stir things up!"

With those words, Zhan Tian downs his wine in one gulp, appearing resolute.

Despite the pressure this situation presents, even Emperor Yu is wary, let alone him.

But opposite him, Liu Sheng remains silent, for he too, has the Liu Family behind him.

Although he has never abused power for personal gain, merely bearing the Liu name is enough.

Even if he doesn’t use his name, others voluntarily consider him, which leaves him helpless.
