Mi Yang's move was a decisive move, which was related to the fate of their family for a hundred years.

If it was just for personal safety, they would agree to Mi Yang's first condition without hesitation.

So regarding this second point, which has more serious consequences and is related to the prosperity and decline of the family, all these dozens of officials are hesitant.

In today's world, people attach great importance to the rise and fall of their families, even more than their own lives.

Mi Yang, who was sitting on the horse, noticed the hesitation of these dozens of officials.

He was not surprised at all by this.

In other words, if these dozens of officials readily agreed to this, he would have to consider it secretly in his heart.

The hesitant behavior of these dozens of officials is reasonable and reasonable.

Since it was anticipated, Mi Yang must have a way to counter it.

Mi Yang winked at Wang Hong, who had been standing aside.

In the incident just now, Wang Hong, who had always been unknown, immediately summoned a subordinate after seeing Mi Yang winking at him.

Under Wang Hong's order, one of Si Wen Cao's subordinates quickly ran towards the bottom of the high platform.

Soon after, a heavy box slowly appeared in the eyes of everyone on the high platform, being carried by several officials of Si Wen Cao dressed in black.

The box is filled with densely packed bamboo slips.

Because there were so many bamboo slips, even the lids of the boxes could not be closed.

Seeing a box filled with bamboo slips being brought up, the eyes of the dozens of officials immediately became confused.

They didn't know why Mi Yang did this.

Mi Yang didn't leave them wondering for too long.

After the box was moved to him, he reached out and took out a bamboo slip that exposed the box, and then he threw the bamboo slip directly in front of the dozens of officials.

The sound of bamboo slips being smashed in front of them was loud, which startled dozens of officials who had been in a state of panic.

But they also knew that Mi Yang wanted them to read the contents of the bamboo slips.

So the first few, headed by dozens of officials, hurriedly picked up the bamboo slips in front of them and started reading.

But it's better not to look at them. Once you look at them, the deathly gray color on their faces becomes even darker.

What is recorded in this bamboo slip is the criminal evidence of an official in Liangzhou.

The most important thing is that this incriminating evidence already involves the family level.

"The land and house exceed the regulations, the strong bullies the weak, and the masses oppress the few."

"Invade the common people, gather them for treason, and gather them for chaos."

"As a subordinate official, bribery is carried out and the government orders are cut off."

...

There are dozens of evidences of crime recorded in a bamboo slip, and each of these dozens of evidences is strictly prohibited by Han law and regarded as a treasonable crime.

A single piece of evidence is enough to kill a powerful man.

And when so many criminal evidences are accumulated together, from the perspective of judicial sentencing in the Han Dynasty, it is possible to use the kind of punishment that is most feared by the world.

Looking at the evidence of crime recorded on the bamboo slips, the leading officials first looked at Wang Hong, who remained silent, with hatred in their eyes.

Without even thinking about it, these incriminating evidences must have been searched by Mi Yang's newly established Division Wencao in the past six months.

Even in just half a year, Si Wencao was able to search for so many criminal evidences, which is enough to prove how "hardworking" they have been in these six months!

But their hard work is causing them to die!

Faced with the hatred of those officials, Wang Hongli didn't want to pay attention.

He is Mi Yang's eagle dog. As long as what he does makes Mi Yang satisfied, other people's opinions have nothing to do with him.

As time went by, the hand of the official holding the bamboo slip became more and more trembling.

This bamboo slip was picked randomly by Mi Yang, so of course it would not exactly record evidence of his crime.

It's just that his family has certainly done things that other families have done.

The reason why Mi Yang randomly picked out a bamboo slip recording other people's criminal evidence and threw it to them was to express one meaning:

He can check what others are doing, and it is natural for them to do it as well.

Under this strong suggestion, as long as the evidence of the crime recorded in the bamboo slips is detailed enough, does it matter whether it is him or not?

Precisely because he knew this, the panic in the official's heart became more and more intense.

Did Zhou Mu express his intention to attack his family?

Big beads of sweat kept falling from the official's head, and his face became paler.

Not only this official was like this, but also the officials who saw the contents of this bamboo slip were also like this.

Other officials who had not yet seen the contents of the bamboo slips saw this look on their colleagues after reading the contents of the bamboo slips.

They all took a few steps curiously and stepped forward to look at the contents of the bamboo slips.

But after watching it, it was as if they were infected by those officials, and their expressions were all the same as those officials.

What's more, some officials have collapsed on the ground.

People may die, but how can their family be destroyed in their hands?

If this is the case, how will they explain to their ancestors after they die?

The most terrifying thing in this world is not the death of one's body, but the annihilation of one's family.

Seeing the frightened expressions of the dozens of officials, Mi Yang knew that the time had come, and he said in a clear tone:

"Perhaps you think that what you have done today is not as sinful as your family, so you are unwilling to do so."

"You were not wrong about what you expected.

Your behavior today does not deserve the punishment of clan execution, but what about the behaviors of people in your family in the past?

Even if there is no box of incriminating evidence today, once the three leaders of the Gu Faction go to the countryside to investigate the details of each family, do you think the incriminating evidence collected by the Gu Faction will be less than this?"

For hundreds of years, the powerful families have been accustomed to being arrogant. In this case, they did not have the various tricks of the underworld in later generations to destroy evidence.

This is also the reason why the good ministers of the Han Dynasty were sure to find out the powerful families.

Execution is the most severe punishment in the world.

Because the consequences he brought were too serious, even the Shuke, which was known for its harshness, was very cautious in using the punishment of clan execution.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But this does not mean that there have not been families in Yizhou that have been punished by the clan in the past.

As long as the crimes they committed were serious enough, Mi Yang could act on behalf of the emperor and punish officials who committed serious crimes with genocide.

The threat in Mi Yang's words was not concealed at all.

And he told the dozens of officials directly with facts not to take chances.

What Mi Yang said is true, and Xiao Pu was worried about this just now.

The deterrent effect brought by facts is the strongest.

But just when these dozens of officials became more and more frightened by Mi Yang's words, Mi Yang once again extended an olive branch.

"The survival of your family now only depends on Gu's thoughts."

"As long as you can help me achieve great things, I can guarantee that I will forget about the past.

All the incriminating evidence against you in this box can be burned to the ground.

Whether it is life or death, existence or destruction, it is now within your thoughts."

After saying these words, Mi Yang quietly looked at the dozens of officials kneeling in front of him.

He is waiting for an answer that satisfies him.

And with Mi Yang's words of stick and sweet dates, isn't it clear what choice to make?

Perhaps these dozens of officials agreeing to Mi Yang today will not be a good thing for their family in the long run.

But if they don't agree, their family will have no future in an instant.

After realizing this, the dozens of officials present still didn't know what to choose.

So just a moment after Mi Yang finished speaking, the dozens of officials immediately bowed down to Mi Yang and shouted in unison:

"I am willing to serve Uncle Mu!"

When these dozens of officials said these words, it meant that they had been completely controlled by Mi Yang.

After Mi Yang accomplished this, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

Just a verbal agreement could not completely reassure Mi Yang.

A certificate of nomination is still required.

So Mi Yang summoned Zhang Ni to his side. After Zhang Ni came to his side, Mi Yang whispered a few words to him.
