Chapter 107 Overnight, the Qin Dynasty was turned upside down!
The First Emperor stood in front of the Zhangtai Palace with his hands behind his back, with an unquestionable majesty between his brows!
There was a cold light flashing in his deep eyes, as if it could see through all appearances and reach the depths of people's hearts.
The deep and firm voice echoed in the empty hall, and every word was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart!
"All troops, listen up!" The tone of the First Emperor was filled with a murderous aura. "Tonight, you must clean up the imperial palace and hunt down the remaining evildoers of the clan. No one should be left alive!"
"Meng Tian, lead some of your elite troops to Xianyang City immediately and confiscate the mansions of the major clans one by one. Make sure to eradicate them completely!"
Meng Tian, dressed in military uniform and a black cloak, stood in front of the palace and accepted orders with an expressionless face.
There was also a cold light flashing in his eyes, as if he was a tiger about to be released from a cage.
He responded in a deep voice: "I obey your command! I will live up to your expectations!"
After saying this, Meng Tian turned around and strode away, followed by a group of black-armored guards. Their steps were firm and powerful, as if they were going to trample the entire Xianyang city under their feet! !
In the darkness of night, this team was like a black torrent, silently rushing to every corner of Xianyang City!
The night is as dark as ink, concealing the prosperity and bustle of Xianyang city.
The Gan family mansion used to be brightly lit and bustling with people, but tonight it was shrouded in dead silence!
Meng Tian was wearing a black cloak and his eyes were as cold as ice!
He waved his hand, and the black-armored guards behind him rushed towards the gate of Gan's mansion like an arrow.
The heavy wooden door shattered under the impact of the Xuanweis, and debris flew everywhere! !
“Who dares to break into the Gan Mansion at night!” There were cries of fear from inside the mansion, but no one dared to step forward to stop them.
The black-armored Xuanweis were like black ghosts, shuttling through every corner of the mansion, searching for valuables and treasures!
Their movements were swift and orderly, like well-trained cheetahs, showing unparalleled hunting instincts in front of their prey!
The Gan clan members were awakened from their sleep and fled in panic.
However, the black-armored Xuanwei had already blocked all the exits. They could only gather helplessly in the courtyard and watch their home being looted!
"General Meng Tian, please spare us!" An elderly member of the Gan clan knelt down in front of Meng Tian and begged with tears streaming down his face, "My Gan clan has been loyal for generations and has never had the intention of treason. Please let us go!"
Meng Tian looked at him expressionlessly, with indifference in his eyes.
He did not stop what he was doing, but said calmly: "Your Majesty has ordered to clean up the imperial palace and hunt down the remnants of the clan! The Gan family is also among those to be cleansed. After tonight, there will be no more Gan family in Xianyang City!!"
The old man's pleading stopped abruptly, and he stared at Meng Tian blankly, as if he could not accept this cruel reality!
The Gan clan members around also fell into silence. They knew that after tonight, the family they once took pride in would no longer exist!
The black-armored Xuanweis moved faster and faster. They packed the found treasures into boxes one by one, ready to transport them back to the Imperial Palace!
The Gan family mansion was in a mess. The former prosperity and glory turned to ashes at this moment!
The night grew darker, but the black-armored guards led by Meng Tian did not stop. They were like the embodiment of the night, quietly and silently moving through the streets and alleys of Xianyang city.
Following the demise of the Gan family, the Meng family, the Yang family, the Zhao family... these once prominent families also became their targets one by one!
"Knock, knock, knock--" A dull knock on the door sounded in front of the Meng mansion, but no one dared to answer it.
The black-armored guards did not wait any longer and broke into the house. The lights in the mansion were instantly lit up, reflecting numerous terrified faces!
"Who are you?!" An elder from the Meng family stepped forward and asked sternly.
However, facing Meng Tian's icy eyes, his voice trembled unconsciously!
Meng Tian did not answer, but just waved his hand.
The black-armored Xuanweis scattered like ghosts and began their action!
Elder Meng watched helplessly as the treasures in his home were taken away one by one, and despair surged in his heart like a tide!
The same scene was played out in families such as the Yang and Zhao families.
No matter how they begged and struggled, they could not change the fate of having their homes confiscated!
The black-armored Xuanwei were like ruthless sickles, harvesting these families one by one and uprooting them. The entire Xianyang City was shrouded in an atmosphere of terror and despair.
The streets were deserted, with only the occasional sound of breaking doors and wailing echoing in the night sky!
Those who survived are hiding in their homes, shivering and praying that this nightmare will end soon! !
Meng Tian and his black-armored guards were like messengers from hell, carrying out the orders of the First Emperor and ruthlessly destroying all obstacles in their way.
The house search lasted all night.
When the dawn light spread across the earth, Meng Tian and his troops ended the bloody purge.
They stood at the highest point of Xianyang City, overlooking the looted city. At Meng Tian's military order, the elite black-armored soldiers scattered around the city immediately gathered together, transported their property and the captured clan remnants to the palace, and reported to His Majesty!
……
The dawn broke and the sky gradually brightened, but the smell of blood in Xianyang City had not yet dissipated.
All the officials went to the court with trepidation in their hearts. Many of them had heard about the great changes that had taken place in the city as early as night time. When they heard the imperial decree summoning all officials to the court, they were even more shocked!
The atmosphere in the court was so solemn that it was almost suffocating.
All the officials took off their shoes and walked into the hall, only to see that the First Emperor was already sitting upright on the imperial couch, looking down at everyone with an expressionless face.
His gaze was deep and cold, as if it could see through all appearances and reach the depths of people's hearts! !
After all the officials stood still nervously, the First Emperor raised his hand slightly and signaled Li Si to begin announcing the crimes of the clans.
Li Si walked forward slowly, unfolded a scroll of black silk with a solemn look, and said in a cold and firm voice:
"The clan has committed treason and dared to attack the imperial palace at night. This is a heinous crime! However, I have decided that this crime will not involve the clan's collateral descendants. Now I will deprive the clan leader of his power and have ordered General Meng Tian to confiscate his mansion and treasury in Xianyang!"
As soon as the voice fell, whispers suddenly broke out in the court.
All the officials looked at each other, with an indescribable complex emotion welling up in their hearts!
They knew that overnight, the political situation in Xianyang City had undergone earth-shaking changes! !
The First Emperor glanced coldly at the officials in the court and continued, "Li Si, Ye Chi, listen to my orders! I order you two to continue to liquidate and confiscate the remaining family property and land and houses of the clan within the empire! You must be fair and selfless, and there must be no mistakes!!!"
Li Si and Ye Chi bowed their heads and accepted the order at the same time, with determination shining on their faces.
Following the First Emperor's order, the atmosphere in the court suddenly became tense.
All the officials lowered their heads, not daring to be negligent or move in the slightest!
They knew that the coming days would be a severe test.
And your majesty will continue to consolidate his ruling position with the force of thunder and lightning! !
