My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 599 - 375: The Death of the Great Scholar

Chang’an.

In front of the palace gates.

"Please, Your Majesty, establish the heir!"

"Please, Your Majesty, establish the heir!"

"Please, Your Majesty, establish the heir!"

...

Over a thousand figures sat on the ground, led by a few elders, chanting this slogan repeatedly.

Their voices were not loud, but blessed by the Vast Sound, they could be heard clearly in every corner of Chang’an.

The citizens had already been alarmed, took to the streets, and watched from afar outside the palace gates.

In their hearts, they naturally supported these people.

Not attending court for over ten years, neglecting the empire, the people of Daxia had long been dissatisfied with the Emperor.

Now, in the midst of an unprecedented upheaval in centuries, what Daxia needs is an Emperor who is diligent and industrious, leading the country to become stronger and wealthier, not a ruler obsessed with immortality, cruel, and murderous.

Unlike previous gentle remonstrations, this time, led by a Great Scholar of the Fifth Realm sitting silently at the palace gates, had a significant impact.

The Imperial Guards surrounded these students but dared not make any rash moves.

Whoever dared to strike first would likely become a target of all.

No news came from the palace, and no one knew how the Emperor would handle this.

As everyone awaited further developments, a path suddenly appeared in the crowded streets.

A group of figures in black appeared on the street; wherever they went, the citizens showed fear and retreated to the sides of the street.

"Spiegel Bureau!"

"People from the Spiegel Bureau are here!"

The citizens were not unfamiliar with these people; the Spiegel Bureau, led by Minister of Justice Li Xuanjing, always meant that someone would lose their head or a family would be wiped out whenever they appeared.

Great Scholar Su sat cross-legged in front of the palace gate, as a figure walked slowly to his side. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

He looked up at this figure, said nothing, but spat heavily, a mouthful of saliva landing at Li Xuanjing’s feet.

Li Xuanjing looked at him calmly and said indifferently, "Take him away."

Several figures in black stepped forward, and Great Scholar Su slowly stood up, a powerful aura surging from within him.

From a few experts of the Spiegel Bureau, a similar force surged out, forming a barrier that shielded Li Xuanjing, neutralizing Great Scholar Su’s aura.

Five black-clothed elders emitted the aura of Grandmasters, firmly locking on to Great Scholar Su.

Even though a Great Scholar of the Fifth Realm feared not Martial Arts Grandmasters, he could not contend with five at once.

Great Scholar Su looked at Li Xuanjing and asked, "Where do you want to take the old man?"

Li Xuanjing replied calmly, "Mr. Su incited over a thousand teachers and students of the academy to storm the Imperial Palace, causing a mutiny. The Spiegel Bureau suspects that foreign powers are behind you, intending to destabilize Daxia. Please come with us..."

"Mr. Su, you mustn’t go!"

"This is their excuse!"

"You mustn’t go to the Spiegel Bureau!"

Before Great Scholar Su could speak, his disciples behind him voiced their objections.

They knew very well what the Spiegel Bureau was like; few who entered there ever came out alive.

He simply wanted to trick Mr. Su into the Spiegel Bureau, just like those Confucian officials before, who, once they entered, had any crime fabricated against them.

Great Scholar Su placed one hand behind his back and coldly said, "I’d like to see whether the feared Spiegel Bureau is truly a dragon’s den or a tiger’s lair."

"Teacher!"

"Great Scholar Su!"

"You mustn’t go!"

Many urged anxiously, but Great Scholar Su had already made up his mind. He raised his hand to stop any further words and voluntarily followed these people toward the Spiegel Bureau.

At this moment, countless citizens were whispering.

"Great Scholar Su went to the Spiegel Bureau."

"Lord Li wouldn’t kill Great Scholar Su, would he?"

"How could he?"

"Why not? Didn’t he kill enough Confucian officials before?"

"This time is different. Mr. Su is a Great Scholar of the Fifth Realm. Who would dare kill a Great Scholar of the Fifth Realm?"

For nearly twenty years, Minister of Justice Li Xuanjing had a terrible reputation among the citizens and at court; who didn’t curse him as a traitor?

But in the past two years, his reputation had reversed.

Especially after the "Dual Kings’ Rebellion," he had exterminated the nobles, cleared the Wang family’s officials from the court, and suppressed several Great Families to the point where they couldn’t raise their heads. Gradually, citizens began to realize.

Over the years, he did many evil deeds.

The most criticized was betraying his comrades who once pushed for reform together and killing many people of integrity with Vast Righteous Qi.

But he killed more corrupt officials, especially the high-ranking nobles of Daxia, who had now completely vanished. People couldn’t help but wonder if he was achieving his past goals in another way.

Especially with the actions of Li Nuo, the Sixt Subjects’ Scholar, more and more people started to believe in this viewpoint.

The only son of Daxia’s greatest traitor, could he really be a good official who always thought for the people?

In Chang’an, and all the citizens in the Capital, who doesn’t enjoy the grace of Lord Li?

Could it be that the so-called traitor was just a disguise and concealment for the Minister of Justice?

Could it be that he still held on to the Vast Qi within him?

If he truly were as the citizens thought, steadfastly adhering to his Confucian beliefs, then he shouldn’t be killing the Fifth Realm Great Scholar Su...

At this time, in a certain palace hall.

A figure slowly walked into the great hall and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, Great Scholar Su has been taken to the Spiegel Bureau by Lord Li."

The Xia Emperor, sitting cross-legged on a cushion, slowly opened his eyes and said calmly, "Huang Jin, do you think that Li Xuanjing has been disguising and concealing as they’ve said?"
