Chapter 313: The Qin Dynasty Establishes Its Power, and the Heavens Are Wrathful
The expressions of Jia Fu and the other two changed from initial fear to paleness, and finally to ashes.
They finally understood what a terrifying existence they had provoked. This "Great Qin Emperor" had no regard for the "principles" of the immortal world, only his own "laws." And his laws were more ruthless and deadly than any principles.
"Your Majesty...I..." Jia Fu opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
"My laws have been announced to the world." Ying Zheng returned to the dragon throne and looked down at them. "Do you plead guilty?"
Jia Fu's body trembled violently. He knew he had no way out. Confess, death. Deny, death too. Perhaps, confessing would give him a more peaceful death.
He slowly and deeply lowered his head, and with all his strength, he squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "I... plead guilty."
The two people behind him collapsed to the ground like mud, and could only kowtow repeatedly: "Plead guilty, we plead guilty!"
"Okay." Ying Zheng nodded, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. "Since you plead guilty, then I will follow the law."
He paused, and his voice spread throughout the entire hall, and also through the communication system of the Xianyang city ship, it reached the ears of all the Qin soldiers in the entire solar system.
"Jia Fu, the manager of Wanbao Tower, and three others have trespassed into the Great Qin territory, committed tax evasion, commercial fraud, and contempt of royal authority. They are punished for all four crimes. According to the Great Qin Code, the verdict is as follows:"
"The main culprit, Jia Fu, shall be beheaded immediately!"
"The two accomplices will be exiled to the 'Black Prison Star', where they will be slaves for life, with no hope of rebirth!"
"All of Wanbaolou's assets within the Great Qin territory, including spaceships, cargo, spirit stones, etc., will be confiscated and deposited into the national treasury!"
"This judgment is final and takes effect immediately!"
"Execution!"
"promise!"
Two Black Armored Army soldiers stepped forward, one on each side holding the terrified Jia Fu, and dragging him out of the hall. Jia Fu's eyes were filled with disbelief and terror until the very last moment.
He was a powerful Immortal Emperor in the late stage, who had roamed the heavens and all realms for countless years. In the end, he was dragged out and beheaded like a chicken for "tax evasion", a crime that only mortals could commit?
This is simply... a huge joke!
However, this joke actually happened.
Outside the hall, on the main deck of the Xianyang city ship.
Jia Fu was forced to kneel on the ground, facing the blue planet below.
He felt the cold touch on his neck. It was the executioner - a beheading instrument specially made by the Qin Dynasty's mechanical engineer, containing destructive energy.
"Your Majesty, Jia Fu has been executed. Please give your instructions!" The executioner on the Black Ice Platform knelt on one knee and sent a message to Ying Zheng in the hall.
Ying Zheng closed his eyes and calmly uttered two words: "Behead."
"laugh!"
An invisible blade of energy flashed by, as fast as lightning and with incredible precision.
Jia Fu's head shot up into the sky, his face still frozen with an absurd and terrified expression.
The moment his Immortal Emperor-level immortal body came into contact with the light blade, it was like ice and snow thrown into a furnace, quickly melting and vaporizing, without even a trace of soul fragment remaining.
Clean, neat and efficient.
This is how the laws of the Qin Dynasty are enforced.
At the same time, the magnificent shuttle of Wanbao Tower and all the cargo on board were captured by the tractor beam of the Xianyang city ship and towed into the internal warehouse of the city ship.
After a joint inventory by the Netherworld Palace and the Ministry of Industry, the value of this batch of materials far exceeded the grain and steel paid by the Qin Dynasty this time.
This is a "deal" that is sure to make money, and it is also a far-reaching opportunity to "establish authority."
Across the Milky Way, every Qin soldier who witnessed this scene felt their blood boiling. They chanted, "Your Majesty is wise," and "Long live the laws of the Qin Empire." Their voices coalesced into a powerful torrent of faith, washing over every soul.
They understood that what His Majesty was leading was not just a war to conquer the heavens, but also a great revolution to spread order and law to the chaotic universe!
However, the Qin Dynasty's thundering measures caused a frenzy within the solar system, but caused endless panic and anger outside the solar system.
Wanbaolou, the largest business alliance in the universe, is so powerful and has such deep roots that it is beyond imagination.
Their manager was beheaded "according to the law" in an unknown small galaxy. This was tantamount to a loud slap in the face to the entire Wanbao Tower and even all the forces in the heavens that were accustomed to "strength is respected".
The news spread quickly through some escaped detection runes that were not discovered by the Qin Dynasty, as well as the mouths of accomplices who had some of their memories forcibly searched before being exiled.
The first to receive the news was the "Tianyan Realm", a world of immortal cultivation closest to the Milky Way.
