Chapter 396 Dismayed
In the following time, everything was uneventful.for half a year,
During this period, almost no major incidents happened around Ling Tian, ​​and everyone was safe and sound.

The eldest grandson Taiyi came back from Baiyun Palace, Ling Tian directly reinstated him as an officer and held the military power in his hand.

Fei Wenzhong went to track down the tax bank, but has not returned for a long time.

It wasn't until half a year later that Ling Tian learned that Jin Wenzhong had been killed, and his body had been exposed to the sun in the wilderness outside the city of the Holy Capital.

After Ling Tian learned of this, he immediately dispatched True Monarch Dugu to investigate the cause of death.

True Monarch Dugu returned after three days.The news he brought to Ling Tian made Ling Tian fly into a rage, and his expression turned ugly.

The thing is like this, Hui Wenzhong took the token given by Ling Tian, ​​and went to the Bai family many times to check the tax and bank accounts. Every time, the Bai family treated each other with courtesy.Let him check all the accounts that should be checked by him, and there is basically no problem.

Fei Wenzhong just doesn't believe in evil, he always feels that the Bai family is secretly making false accounts to deceive him.So, he called Tianbing over and copied all the accounts.

And take these accounts to the major heavenly palaces and major cities to reconcile and write off the accounts.

After five months, the matter of the Bai family's embezzlement of tax money gradually surfaced.

However, on the night when Hui Wenzhong returned to the holy capital, the Bai family suddenly sent a large number of masters to ambush Hui Wenzhong outside the city.

That night, all the heavenly soldiers and 36 Daluo Jinxians led by Wenzhong were assassinated and killed.The Bai family originally wanted to destroy the corpses, but never thought that the noise they made would be discovered by the six brothers who patrolled the city day and night.

When the six brothers arrived, the Bai family had already withdrawn their troops and disappeared.

The six brothers transported all the corpses of the heavenly soldiers back to the holy capital, but they did not find the corpse of Wenzhong Wenzhong.When he was discovered later, his body was lying in an ancient forest in the outskirts. He had been stabbed more than 370 times and had already decomposed.

All the evidence of the Bai family's embezzlement of tax money was preserved intact by Xie Wenzhong. He put all the evidence in the storage ring.

Coupled with the whole process of dictation by the three heavenly soldiers rescued by the six brothers, Zhenjun Dugu learned all the truth.

"Old General Dugu, go and copy the Bai family to me. Except for his wife and children, everyone else will be killed!" Ling Tian said coldly.

He didn't want to kill people at first, and wanted to give the Bai family a chance to survive, but now, as the emperor, he couldn't help himself and had to do so.Otherwise, he will lose his prestige and it will be difficult to convince the public.

"Old minister obeys!" Dugu Zhenjun clasped his fists forcefully, his tone was sonorous and forceful, and after he finished speaking, he left with a cold and stern pace.

After watching True Monarch Dugu leave, Ling Tian tightly closed his eyes. Only now did he realize how difficult it is to be an emperor, and he can't do whatever he wants.

The world conquered by force can only solve problems by force.Any kindness and softness will only make the other party gain an inch.

……

At night, Ling Tian was sitting quietly in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, when Lin Fenghuang and the others all came.

Ling Tian knew that Lin Fenghuang and the others had come to Xingshi to inquire about their crimes.

Sure enough, let him guess it.

"Husband, the Bai family was ransacked. Except for his wife and children, everyone else was killed. Is this an order from you?" Lin Fenghuang stared at Ling Tian.

Ling Tian nodded, but did not speak.

"Why did you do this? Do you know how many lives are there?" Lin Fenghuang asked coldly, "What is the difference between you and a cold-blooded tyrant?"

"The Bai family's raid is like a hell on earth. We can't bear to watch it. As the emperor, can't you be accommodating? Can you give me a lighter sentence?

Bai Changsheng made a mistake alone, why let his family bear it?Don't you care about human life? "

Situ Xinran looked at Ling Tian coldly, "To be honest, I don't know you anymore. You shouldn't be this kind of person. The Ling Tian I knew was sunny, handsome and upright, but now you are already Turned into a murderous maniac."

Ling Tian took a deep breath, and then said coldly, "There are some things that I can't help myself. Otherwise, all of us will become a joke of the entire Heavenly Court Kingdom. We will continue to stay in the Imperial Palace with no face in the future.

If people insist on thinking that I am a murderous maniac, I can understand.I can also not be the emperor.

But let me ask you, besides the imperial palace, where else can we go?All the glory and wealth that you enjoy now are all earned by me.Are we really willing to leave here? "

I can hear this.Everyone fell silent.They all lowered their heads silently.

Ling Tian continued, "If Bai Changsheng did the whole thing alone, it would be easy. But everyone in the Bai family participated in this matter. The whole Bai family is united. The entire treasury was emptied.

If I hadn't met Hui Wenzhong, I would have been kept in the dark.If I don't intervene, who will pay for the expenses of the entire Heavenly Court Kingdom?Is it ourselves, or all the military and political ministers?
Do you think the fact that the national treasury is short of money is really what the Bai family said?I can assure you that the eldest grandson Taiyi, Dugu Zhenjun and other ministers know about it, but why didn't they report it? "

"You know that once something happens, you will accuse me, saying that I am a murderous maniac, cold-blooded and ruthless. But have any of you considered for me, why should I do this?
Not only do I have to consider your safety and cultivation resources, but I also have to govern the entire Heavenly Court Kingdom. Have you ever experienced how courageous I am?

Also, let me tell you another fact.If I quit this emperor suddenly and take you out of the Heavenly Court Kingdom, the entire Heavenly Court Kingdom will immediately return to its original state.Murder and arson, robbery, disregard for human life.You women have no dignity at all here, not to mention being able to keep your innocence, even survival is a problem.

Now the entire Immortal World is full of killings, people are dying everywhere, and corpses are everywhere.But only in the Kingdom of Heaven, there are fewer and fewer killings, and everyone can live equally. Don't you know the reason? "

After hearing Ling Tian's words, everyone felt ashamed. Even Lin Fenghuang lowered his head, not knowing what to say.

"Actually, I prefer to be free and unrestrained, and I prefer to be idle and uncontested. I think that kind of carefree life is the most worth pursuing for me.

But now, I am willing to do what I want, I have so many relatives and friends around me, I want to let you live a happy and safe life, I can only be cruel to myself!

No way, if I am weak, do you still have room to stand?In the fairy world, who can look down on you?Who will give you cultivation resources? "Ling Tian finished speaking with a cold expression, got up and was about to leave. At this moment, his heart was suddenly very tired. He originally thought that everyone would forgive him, but now he is really disheartened.

"Honey, where are you going?" Lin Fenghuang bit his lips tightly, his face turning pale.

"I have to think carefully about whether to continue to be the emperor." Ling Tian said coldly.
