Wang Yiyang slapped himself crazily in front of them.
He was powerful, and so was the Wang family. But compared to the Jiutian Empress, they were nothing.
He slapped himself until the corner of his mouth bled, then he knelt there and said, "Your Majesty, it's this official's fault. This official shouldn't have ignored Your Majesty's prestige and attacked Young Master Ye for a bit of money. However, on account of this official's hard work and the fact that my ancestors had followed Your Majesty into battle, please spare this official's lowly life."
Wang Yiyang was crying and complaining.
He wasn't acting. He was truly afraid.
"Let me ask you, what crime should you be charged with?"
Chang Xi asked.
Wang Yiyang was trembling all over.
"Your Majesty's benefactor has no real power, but you acted as if you were here in person. Attacking him is tantamount to disrespecting your majesty. You should … be … executed.
"Opening a casino in front of my eyes in the Jiuzhou Heavenly City. What crime should you be charged with?"
Chang Xi asked again.
"A prison sentence."
Smack!
Chang Xi raised her hand and slapped him across the air, sending him flying.
"Let me ask you again, what crime should you be charged with?"
Ye Tianyi was secretly impressed. This was the Jiutian Empress. Her authority, her aura … Hmm … I'll see through her tonight.
Wang Yiyang hurriedly got up and knelt there.
"You … you disregarded Your Majesty's orders and opened a casino. You should … be executed."
That's right, it was illegal to open a casino. You should be fined. At most, you could go to jail. But if the Jiutian Empress insisted on doing so, she would be disrespecting her majesty. Why?
The Empress had issued a decree forbidding gambling. Otherwise, you would be charged with a crime. But not only did you gamble, you even ignored her and opened a casino in public. In other words, you didn't take the Empress seriously at all!
Chang Xi raised her hand, and a terrifying power suppressed him where he stood.
The next moment, Chang Xi's body glowed. The Empress' outfit and veil appeared. The real Jiutian Empress stood beside Ye Tianyi.
Ye Tianyi's eyes lit up.
This is it, this is the empress's noble attire. Tonight, I will let her wear this attire and then have sex … Damn!
It felt so good.
Following that, a golden energy shot into the sky, lighting up the entire night sky. Above the void, Chang Xi's huge shadow slowly appeared.
Everyone who was on the road or at home stopped what they were doing when they saw this scene. They knew that this was Empress Jiutian.
Everyone looked at this scene in shock!
"F * ck!
Empress Jiutian!
It was the Empress of the Nine Heavens!
What was going on?
Did something big happen? "
"The last and only time the Nine Heavens Empress appeared like this was during the rebellion of the royal family. Her phantom image appeared and urgently announced her orders. Only then would she appear for such an important matter. Why is she here this time?"
"…"
Everyone in the Nine States Heavenly City was dumbfounded. The experts from the great clans were also looking at the Empress of Nine Heavens in the void.
In the next moment, Empress Jiutian's ethereal voice spread throughout the Nine States Heavenly City.
"The head of the Wang family, Wang Yiyang, has disregarded the law and opened a casino in public. He has shown contempt for the Emperor and deserves to be executed. Tomorrow at noon, I will personally supervise the execution of Wang Yiyang!"
Hearing this, Wang Yiyang, who was kneeling there, deflated. His face was ashen.
Everyone in the Nine States Heavenly City was in disbelief.
"What?
The head of the Wang family, Wang Yiyang, has been sentenced to death by the Empress?
Just because he opened a casino?
That can't be right, opening a casino shouldn't be a crime punishable by death!
Especially since he is the head of the Wang family! "
"Actually, if Her Majesty insists on punishing him, in addition to the fact that he is the head of the Wang family, he is indeed looking down on the Empress. The significance of this is different from ordinary people breaking the law. However, it is definitely not limited to just killing him. There must be other reasons. Opening a casino is just an excuse Her Majesty came up with!
No matter what, he must have committed an unforgivable crime! "
"This is too fierce!
The Empress hasn't made any moves for a long time. The moment she appeared, she immediately executed the head of the Wang family. This is killing the chicken to warn the monkey. At least everyone in the Nine States Heavenly City will be obedient for a while. "
"…"
At this moment, Wang Tiancheng looked up at this scene. His face was full of disbelief as his eyes widened.
What was going on?
Didn't his father go to kill the elders and Ye Tianyi?
How did he become a sinner all of a sudden, and was even sentenced to death?
Just because he opened a casino?
Definitely not!
Then what was going on!?
He really didn't know!
Could it be because he killed someone?
That couldn't be right. In this world, there were many situations where killing people didn't violate the Emperor's rules. However, there was a prerequisite. The killing had to be done between martial artists. Only then would it not violate the Emperor's rules!
But Ye Tianyi was also a martial artist!
What exactly happened?
Was Ye Tianyi dead?
Wait a minute …
Since his father was sentenced to death, then the position of the head of the Wang family should naturally fall on his head, right?
Perhaps this was the sad part of some large families. Power was too tempting. Sometimes, power was so tempting that kinship wasn't that important anymore …
…
"This is really interesting. The head of the Wang family was sentenced to death by the Empress. What crime did he commit?"
Zi Ningcheng took a sip of tea and said in shock as he watched the Empress' image dissipate.
He was playing chess with Liu Tianhai in the courtyard of the Liu residence and drinking tea. Liu Qingyu was busy serving them tea and making some pastries and snacks for them to eat.
Liu Tianhai said, "Angering the Empress is definitely not a small matter. Naturally, it can't be because of this casino. Say, do you think the Wang family will rebel against the Emperor?"
"The Wang family doesn't have the ability to rebel against the Emperor unless they have an even more powerful existence backing them. If they are smart, then they will give up Wang Yiyang's life in exchange for the safety of the Wang family. If they are stubborn, then they might make a move. After all, Wang Yiyang is the head of the Wang family and is a Sage Realm expert. I have lived for so many years, but I have never seen a Sage Realm expert at the pinnacle of the continent being sentenced to death by the Emperor." Liu Tianhai said with interest.
That's right. A Sage Realm expert. How could someone at this level be restrained?
Sometimes, in front of someone at this level, the Emperor's rules were useless. The Emperor would also turn a blind eye to it because the Emperor didn't want to care. That was a Sage Realm expert with a large group of people backing him. Chang Xi had created a precedent in history for the Emperor to sentence a Sage Realm expert to death. A large part of it was because of Ye Tianyi. Otherwise, she wouldn't have sentenced him to death.
"It seems like Her Majesty is really angered this time. However, Her Majesty isn't such a reckless person. Now that the rebel army is approaching, she made such a move instead. It is very likely that the Wang family will rebel. It is very illogical," Zi Ningcheng said.
Liu Tianhai said, "Killing the chicken to warn the monkey. However, I am afraid that Her Majesty's move will become the fuse that ignites the rebellion of the various large families."
