Ziyang Haochun said in a deep voice: "It is impossible for Master Zhang to be Zhong Tian's subordinate, I can guarantee this with my own head, Master Tang just relies on the confession of an enemy general, Master Zhang is really too hasty!"

"Rashly?" Tang Yin laughed, his laugh was sinister, he lightly tapped the blood book on the table with his finger and slowly said: "In my opinion, this is just evidence, there is no need to check any further. I shall leave Great General Ziyang's guarantee to others! " With that, he turned his head and looked into the courtyard, saying indifferently, "What are you waiting for?" "Execute the punishment!"

The executioners do not care if you are guilty or not guilty, as long as there is an order, they will carry it out. A few executioners raised the Phantom Head Blade in his hand, aimed at Zhang Song and his family members' necks, and fiercely slashed down.

"Pu!"

Following a burst of crisp sounds, Zhang Song's cries for injustice and the cries of his family abruptly stopped. Several heads rolled on the ground, and blood shot out from their severed necks into the distance. The executioner did not stop, he immediately walked to Zhang Song and the other family members' backs, wielding his large blade, he fiercely slashed down. In the blink of an eye, over twenty people of Zhang Song's family, male and female, young and old, all died with their heads separated from their bodies.

Ah!

Liang Xing, Wu Yu, and Ziyang Haochun who were sitting in the hall could see everything clearly, and all of them gasped in their hearts. No matter what, Zhang Song was the first official who was able to enter the imperial court, and he was killed by Tang Yin, and it was even his entire family, so how could they not be shocked in their hearts?

The Tianyuan Army soldiers loaded the corpses and severed heads on the ground into the carriage, and used dirt to cover the bloodstains on the ground.

Tang Yin laughed and turned his head, his gaze sweeping across Liang Xing and the other two, and said: "All the officials who have been captured by Zhong Tian and have yet to be executed, are suspected of colluding with the enemy. In order to ensure the safety and stability of the city, these kind of villains must be strictly investigated, they must not be let off."

Hearing these words, Liang Xing, Wu Yu and the others trembled. Although Tang Yin's words did not sound like he was referring to himself, to them, it sounded like he was implying something.

"Master Tang …" At this time, Ziyang Haochun's aura had also softened. He looked at Tang Yin with his tongue-tied eyes, not knowing what to say.

Tang Yin laughed out loud and said: "My three lords, please do not misunderstand, I am not saying that the three of you are in cahoots with the enemy. The three Masters are the important ministers and loyal ministers of my Great Gale, and are also pillars of the imperial government. How could they have had an affair with a traitor like Zhong Tian? "

"Yes …" "Yes." Ziyang Haochun swallowed his saliva, and couldn't help but wipe his cold sweat.

"Come, come, come. Great General Ziyang, drink up! This official offers you a cup!" Saying that, Tang Yin raised his wine cup towards Ziyang Haochun.

Ziyang Haochun did not want to drink at all at this time, but the scene of Zhang Song being executed by his entire family was still fresh in his mind. He could not help but shiver in fear, he raised his cup and forced out a smile, then said: "Master Tang is too courteous! "Please!"

The blood letter that Tang Yin had taken out was not written by some General of Peng Country. The secret relationship between Zhang Song and Zhong Tian was also entirely due to him losing something.

He was afraid that if Liang Xing, Wu Yu and Ziyang Haochun were to return to the capital and reform the imperial government, he would place the blame on himself, so he created his own act to let Liang Xing, Wu Yu, and Ziyang Haochun understand who was the leader and who was the leader. He wanted them to know who was the person who truly held the power to kill.

As for Zhang Song, he was just an unlucky guy who had been selected by Tang Yin. Since Tang Yin was able to choose him, then he had his own considerations as well. Zhang Song was a loyal subject of the Feng Country, and more importantly, he was Zhan Hua's loyal subject, so when Zhong Tian became the king, Zhang Song would rather die than agree to it. Tang Yin felt that if he was the king in the future, Zhang Song would not support him.

Tang Yin's idea received Qiu Zhen's praise and it received the support of the Tianyuan Army Generals. Under such circumstances, Zhang Song muddled his way through to being a ghost under the executioner's blade, and even lost the reputation of being a traitor even in death.

Tang Yin's self-made play had indeed intimidated Liang Xing, Wu Yu, and Ziyang Haochun, especially Zi Yangzhu, whose power had disappeared without a trace and was replaced by a trembling, shivering, and who sat beside Tang Yin. Now, he once again witnessed Tang Yin's methods, as well as the ruthlessness and ruthlessness that came from his bones.

, his generals and advisers were enjoying this meal happily, but Liang Xing and Ziyang Haochun did not know what to eat. The two were both hoping that the banquet would end soon, and that they would be able to return to the manor as soon as possible.

After the three great nobles, Liang Xing, Ziyang Haochun, and the others returned to the capital, the new imperial court for the Feng Country was officially established. The old officials and officials of the Feng Country that were ousted from office by Zhong Tian all returned back to their original positions, and most of them had even been promoted.

Originally, Tianyuan Army belonged to the county army, and their generals and advisers could only be considered the general and officials of a county. Now that the new imperial government was formed, the Tianyuan Army had already jumped from the county army to the Central Army of the new Feng Country, and their generals and advisers' official positions were naturally raised by several levels as well.

As for Tang Yin, the, the commander of the Tianyuan Army had not yet moved, he was still the same as before. As a result, the generals and advisers under his command were even higher ranked than he was.

It was not because the new sect did not want to give Tang Yin a promotion, but because they could not find him a suitable official position. With Tang Yin's contribution, he should be ranked first among all the officials, but right now, the Minister of the Left, the Right Prime Minister and the Great General were already occupied by people. They could not possibly push Tang Yin to the top and push one of the three people, Liang Xing, Wu Yu, and Ziyang Haochun, down.

As for Tang Yin himself, he was not in a hurry either, he wanted to scheme for the throne, as for the official positions, they did not matter, as long as he could grasp onto the military power and control the entire situation, he did not need his title.

When the new imperial government was established, they would send letters to the County Head s of the seven counties, Tai An, Shang Qing, Gao Yang, Ling Dong, Ling Nan, Fu Chuan, and Ping Xi. Liang Xing, Wu Yu and Ziyang Haochun all promised in their letters that as long as the County Head s of each county were willing to enter, they would show their loyalty and let bygones be bygones.

The seven County Head s did not dare to come here even after they had gathered the leaders of the seven counties under Tang Yin's name. Now, a letter had been sent by the new government formed by Liang Xing, Wu Yu and Ziyang Haochun. If they did not enter the capital, it would be equivalent to not admitting the existence of the new government, and it would also be equivalent to not admitting the existence of Feng Country. This was something that the County Head of the seven counties could not afford.

Furthermore, the prestige of Liang Xing, Wu Yu and Ziyang Haochun were much higher than that of Tang Yin, and the County Head s of the seven counties trusted them even more. Upon receiving the letter, the County Head of the seven countries immediately wrote a reply, telling everyone that they were leaving immediately.

Half a month later, seven county's County Head s had already rushed over to the Yan City. Before them, were the four county's County Head s: Tianyuan County, Guannan County, Lehu County, and Jinguang County. Right now, with the exception of the four counties to the south of Yan City, the other eleven prefectures of County Head had all gathered their Yan City.

Without waiting for the official entry, on the night before, Tang Yin personally invited the eleven County Head s to his own residence for a feast.

Right now, the house that he had taken over was also known as the Tang residence. Outside the main gate, there were countless soldiers standing there. Looking at the streets, one could see a black Feng Army filling up the streets.

When the various County Head came to attend the feast, what they saw was exactly this scene. Aside from the County Head s from the four counties of Tianyuan, Guannan, Golden Light and Lake Le, the hearts of the other seven County Head s trembled.

In the courtyard, there was only a passageway that did not have anyone standing, both sides were filled with Feng Army Arrays. The Feng Army standing in the middle of the courtyard were all of the elites in the residence, with similar height, wearing black armor with a helmet and helmet, with a red tassel on top of their heads, and a red cloak. In their hands were spears, sabers on their waists, and Longbow s on their backs.

The seven County Head s kept wiping the cold sweat on their foreheads as they walked. They felt that they were not here to attend the banquet, but more so to die here. They had all seen great storms before, but at this moment, their legs were still cramping and their hearts were in their throats.

With great difficulty, they passed through the phalanx of Feng Army and arrived at the entrance of the great hall. Before even entering, there were people who laughed loudly, and then, a young man in his thirties walked out from the hall. He was tall and thin, with a handsome face, and an elegant air about him.

"Everyone, please come in, I am Shangguan Yuanji!" The youth cupped his hands in greeting to everyone.

So, this man was Shangguan Yuanji! The seven County Head s had all heard of Shangguan Yuanji's name. Although Shangguan Yuanji was not a general who could charge into battle and attack, his contributions to the Tianyuan Army could not necessarily be comparable to a few generals trapped together. In actuality, Shangguan Yuanji was the Main County Head of the Four Counties of the Tianyuan, the Guannan, the Golden Light and the Laughing Lake.

"So it's Sir Shangguan, disrespectful, disrespectful!"

The seven county County Head immediately cupped her hands in greeting, and respectfully saluted back to Shangguan Yuanji.

"Hehe!" No need to be courteous, quickly, please come in. Milords have been waiting for you for quite some time! " Shangguan Yuanji turned, allowing the seven counties' County Head to enter the great hall.

Tang Yin sat in the middle of the hall with more than twenty tables and cushions placed on both sides. Other than the seven County Head s, the rest were all already seated.

Seeing that all the County Head had come in, Tang Yin who was sitting on the mat did not stand up to welcome them. He only waved his hand and smiled: "All the Masters are willing to show your face to the feast, you have truly glorified my humble dwelling!"

Tang Yin's words were not much in the beginning, they were just empty words of courtesy, but when the seven County Head s heard them, their hearts trembled. Tang Yin had written a letter to them in the past, inviting them to enter the capital. However, at that time, none of them had come, and now that they saw Tang Yin, the seven of them couldn't help but feel embarrassed, as they also felt that there were hidden meanings behind his words.

Stunned for a moment, the seven of them quickly bowed and said: "Master Tang, this official has come late, I hope Master Tang will take a good look!"
