No More Killing

Ye Liangnai is so ruthless!

Those are three vice presidents!

Besides Ye Liangnai, the president of the Shimizu Trading Company, these are the three people with the highest status.

They are practically the de facto rulers of the Shimizu Trading Company. If we kill them, won't the Shimizu Trading Company fall into chaos?

"Big rat, big rat, it's useless to keep it alive, might as well kill it!"

Ye Liangnai's tone was unreadable, "When I founded the Shimizu Trading Company, I told them that it was allowed for them to steal small things and take kickbacks!"

"But in matters of great importance, no tampering is allowed!"

"But this time, this embezzlement not only involves the Border Army, but also hundreds of thousands of refugees from the Land of Water, and has even driven many good people to rebel, turning them into bandits and endangering public order!"

"Not to mention, they even dare to embezzle funds from the medical industry, which involves saving people's lives."

"You're so brave, it scares me!!"

"Since they've been blinded by money and ignored my warnings, what's the point of keeping them around? Are we just going to let them create an even bigger embezzlement case?"

Hearing Ye Liangnai's words, the Minister of Justice had nothing to say.

The Border Army representatives kowtowed to Ye Liangnai once again in gratitude.

Ye Liangnai looked at them and said, "Go back. The frontier needs your strength. Tell your general for me: I, Ye Liangnai, have not forgotten them, nor will I let them down!"

Upon hearing this, the group of the Border Army representatives nodded in unison and then withdrew.

Ye Liangnai then looked at the other kneeling prisoners in the square.

"Spare me, Ye Liangnai!"

We know we were wrong, please give us a chance!

"We promise we won't do it again!"

Meeting Ye Liangnai's eyes, colder than ice and sharper than a knife, the prisoners broke out in a cold sweat and kowtowed repeatedly, begging for mercy.

But it was as if they didn't hear their pleas for mercy.

Ye Liangnai took out a scroll and read aloud, "The Minister of War colluded with Three Vice Presidents of Shimizu Trading Company to embezzle the Border Army's pay, causing the Border Army to lose thousands of soldiers due to insufficient resources!"

"Furthermore, 1.35 billion yuan was embezzled from eight expenditure categories, including education, healthcare, and infrastructure!"

After reading the report, Ye Liangnai looked at the Minister of War, who was at the front of the line of prisoners, and said, "You have disappointed me greatly!"

"Ye Liangnai, spare... spare me! I... I know I was wrong, please... give me another chance..."

Looking into Ye Liangnai's cold eyes, the Minister of War trembled with fear.

"Give me another chance?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Liangnai suddenly laughed, "I don't think that's necessary. Where are the executioners?"

"Exist!"

"Behead him and display his head!"

"Yes!"

With a flash of cold light, a terrified, panicked head rolled and flew off the ground.

Blood stained the earth!

Seeing this, the remaining people were even more terrified, but they were held down by the Ministry of Justice personnel behind them and could not move at all.

"Finance Minister, you've embezzled..."

Ye Liangnai rattled off a long list of crimes, then, amidst the Finance Minister's horrified expression, uttered four chilling words. "Beheading and public display!"

"Ah!"

With a scream, another important minister lay dead in a pool of blood.

"Minister of Etiquette, you..."

Ye Liangnai is like a deadly devil!

For every name called out, another person dies at the hands of the executioner.

The entire square had been transformed into a bloodbath, filled with a stench so foul it was nauseating.

These pampered ministers had never seen such a scene before, and they all vomited profusely.

This scene will forever be etched in the memories of everyone present, and will make them tremble with fear whenever they think of it!

As officials fell one by one, the entire square became a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

The gushing blood flowed like a small river in all directions, and the stench of blood enveloped the entire Daimyo City, sending chills down everyone's spine!

Finally, someone couldn't take it anymore; the scene was just too terrifying.

"Ye Liangnai, we can't kill anymore. If we kill any more, the Land of Water will truly be destitute. The remaining people are just accomplices, and some of them were forced into it. Their crimes don't deserve to die."

"Ye Liangnai, please stop! If this continues, the court will truly collapse!"

An elderly man with graying temples knelt before Ye Liangnai, his body trembling but his face filled with determination.

"Yes, Ye Liangnai, please stop! They don't deserve to die!"

Immediately, a group of people knelt down and prayed in unison.

The Minister of Justice was also among them. Ye Liangnai narrowed her eyes. "Are you planning to protect each other, or do you think I, Ye Liangnai, don't have the guts to kill you all?"

Hearing Ye Liangnai's words, which were filled with chilling murderous intent...

Those who pleaded for leniency all involuntarily shuddered.

They knew that Ye Liangnai might actually dare to do it!

After all, they had previously thought that Ye Liangnai wouldn't take action against such important figures as the Minister of War, the Minister of Etiquette, and the Three Vice Presidents of Shimizu Trading Company.

But what was the result?

When she swung her sword at these people, Ye Liangnai didn't hesitate for a moment.

He truly possesses great courage, yet is also cold-blooded and ruthless!

These words plunged the remaining hundred or so prisoners into utter despair.

They had just seen so many people pleading for them, and they thought they were saved!

Result...

In the end, we still have to die!

If they had known this would happen, they would never have gotten involved in this embezzlement!

What nonsense about "the law doesn't punish the masses"! What nonsense about "being involved in many cases will definitely be dealt with leniently"!

Ye Liangnai had no such intention at all!

"We do not have officials protecting each other!"

"We are simply stating a fact. We beg you, Ye Liangnai, to stop. This killing is not good for the development of the Land of Land of Water's court!"

It was the same elderly man with slightly graying temples who spoke with genuine emotion.

He seemed to have gone all out, looking at Ye Liangnai: "If Ye Liangnai, are going to continue killing, then kill me instead. That way I won't have to see you and be bothered by it!"

He straightened his neck and stared directly at Ye Liangnai: "We can't commit any more killings. Those who needed to be punished have already been punished. Killing alone won't solve the problem!"

"How is your current approach any different from the policy in the Bloody Mist Village back then!"

"Do you intend to watch the court of the Land of Water descend into an atmosphere of bloody rule, leaving all the courtiers in constant fear and unease?"

"The best policy requires a balance of firmness and flexibility; excessive firmness leads to breakage!"

Upon hearing this person's words, Ye Liangnai suddenly smiled and asked, "What's your name, and what's your current position?"

"Village One Husband, Protocol Department Inspector, a third-class officer!"

The old man spoke with a look of resignation to his fate.

In his mind, Ye Liangnai's inquiry about him meant she wanted to kill him.

So he simply closed his eyes and waited to die. Since he couldn't persuade Ye Liangnai, he might as well let him not see it and not be bothered by it!
