Chapter 3571: Coercion, No Inducement

Xiao Chuanchuan lowered his eyes slightly, his expression calm.

Ignore all looks.

Yun Dai tapped her fingers lightly on the table, glanced at everyone, and said: "I will give you a quarter of an hour to think about it. After a quarter of an hour, whoever hands over what you have in your hands first can take Madam The children go home and are reunited.”

This is already a threat from Chi Guoguo.

Tang Lingfeng frowned and said: "The private armies of our eight major families, as well as the minefields and mines, were all rewards from His Majesty, the founder of the country, and are hereditary. Now that His Majesty forces us to hand over these, are we betraying our ancestors?"

Yun Dai said: "This time, that time. The ancestors of the Xiao royal family gave these things to your ancestors to reward their contributions to the Northern Qi Dynasty and their meritorious deeds. As their descendants, you have inherited every bit of your ancestors. His legacy?"

Her voice was slightly cold: "You are resting on the merits of your ancestors, greedy for enjoyment, and deceiving superiors and subordinates. When Northern Qi was tortured by war, you hid to protect yourself and ignored the pain of the Xiao royal family. Now after the war, reconstruction , I only reduced the taxes of the people for three years, but you jumped in opposition and took advantage of my absence to instruct your private armies to harass and force the people. Do you think there are people who are suffering from hunger and cold? People?"

She slammed the table and shouted: "You who have done these shameless things, do you deserve to continue to enjoy the shadow of your ancestors? You unscrupulous descendants, if you still have any conscience, you should immediately commit suicide and repent to your ancestors!"

There was silence in the hall.

There was a look of shame on everyone's faces.

The head of the Cheng family immediately said: "Your Majesty, I don't know where you got this rumor. We fully support your Majesty's decision and will never force people to pay taxes in private..."

"Stop making excuses!" Xiao Ran looked at them with disdain, "I know you all too well!"

She used to be the mistress of the Cheng family. She was fierce and smart, and she knew certain things well.

The head of the Cheng family looked at her bitterly.

Xiao Ran snorted: "To tell you the truth, now that His Majesty has definite evidence in his hands, don't waste your time and words on sophistry. It will only make people hate you even more!"

As soon as they heard the evidence, the eight family heads immediately came out and knelt down.

Mo Sang kowtowed and said, "I beg your Majesty to take a closer look. I and my family are all flourishing and have numerous people. As the head of the family, I cannot take care of them in every aspect. It is my dereliction of duty. When I go back and find out, I will definitely punish them severely." No tolerance!"

These words directly put all the responsibility on the people working below.

Yun Dai smiled and said: "So, you are innocent victims. Is it because I am stupid and have wronged you?"

Tang Lingfeng said hurriedly: "I don't dare. This is all the result of my improper teaching and indulging my family members. I cannot absolve myself of the blame!"

Mo Sang also said: "I am willing to take responsibility and severely punish those who dare to collect taxes privately!"

The other family heads also agreed.

They admitted that private tax collection was a thing, but they didn't know it. It was all done by unscrupulous descendants of the family, and they would deal with them when they returned.

Always, just kill him with one bite, this matter has nothing to do with them.

Yun Dai stopped knocking on the table.

She did have evidence in her hand, and they had evidence of tax collection, but she really couldn't pin this charge on them.
