Chapter 289: What Do I Care If Foreign Allies Are Astonished
This blonde, white person is named John.
He is from the Knight Country, one of the four major powers of the West.
He has a profession, he is a priest.
Also, he has a strange hobby.
That is, torturing young girls, the younger the better.
He originally worked in a church in the Knight Country, but later his strange hobby was exposed, which caused a great uproar at the time.
In the end, he still relied on very strong connections to escape judgment.
However, because of this, he could no longer stay in the Knight Country.
So, he traveled across the ocean and ran to the New Dynasty.
After arriving in the New Dynasty, he found that the government here was weak, and the status of white people from the West was extremely high, so he became even more arrogant, constantly capturing various women and torturing them.
Over these years, countless women have died at his hands.
The young woman raised her head: “Don’t be smug. Our New Dynasty’s Grand Ancestor Emperor has returned. The Grand Ancestor Emperor will surely bring you to justice and drive all of you Westerners out of the New Dynasty.”
John laughed loudly: “You’re killing me! So what if your New Dynasty has another emperor? We are the many powerful countries of the West. We are the divinely appointed center of the Earth. We are God’s chosen people.”
“Any other country can only be invaded and colonized by us. No matter who it is, they can only bow their heads before the Western countries.”
“We white people are the noblest race on Earth. What are yellow people and black people? They are nothing.” John said triumphantly.
He was not in a hurry to torture the woman to death.
Everything is more interesting when it is done slowly.
That night, a major earthquake occurred in this place.
Then,
The earthquake directly exposed countless white bones buried under this house. There were hundreds of skeletons just by counting them, which meant that at least hundreds of women had died at the hands of this white person named John.
This matter immediately blew up.
Countless people nearby, hearing the news, wanted to attack this house and capture John.
And Zhang Zhihe, the prefect of Qingse Island, couldn’t help but wipe away sweat when he heard about it. If a white person was really killed here, then it would be a big deal, and it would probably cause foreign allies to be astonished.
Then, this Prefect Zhang immediately sent people to protect John.
The common people, upon hearing this, were even more furious.
This matter would naturally be brought to the imperial court.
◈◈◈
The Imperial Capital.
Peng Feng had not been living back in the Imperial Palace recently.
He found a secluded small courtyard in the Imperial Capital.
The current emperor is his sixth-generation descendant, Peng Liuyun.
Not himself.
So, the Imperial Palace should be for his sixth-generation descendant to live in.
Isn’t it better for him to live leisurely outside?
And he also heard about the white bone case of the white people on Qingse Island. Of course, he had to take care of this matter. And he heard that the imperial court was discussing this matter today.
So, he also went directly to the imperial court.
On the way there.
People would occasionally salute: “Greetings, Grand Ancestor Emperor.”
“Greetings, Grand Ancestor Emperor.”
Peng Feng waved his hand, signaling these people not to be too polite.
Then, he entered the council hall.
◈◈◈
And the New Qi Emperor Peng Liuyun, who was on the emperor’s throne, was startled when he saw Peng Feng arrive: “Grand Ancestor Grandpa, please come and sit here.”
“I am not the emperor, why would I sit on the emperor’s throne? I have something to discuss today, just add a chair for me on the side.”
Soon, a chair was brought over.
Peng Feng sat in a place that was slightly lower than the emperor’s throne.
“Today, we are talking about the white bone case of the Westerners on Qingse Island. What does everyone think?” the New Qi Emperor Peng Liuyun said.
Immediately, Zeng Guofan, among the ministers, that’s right, it was this old fellow. He is from the Zeng family, one of the four great families, and he is considered a backbone member of the Zeng family, the second most powerful expert in the Zeng family.
His strength has reached the Land Immortal Realm Ninth Level.
In his previous life’s history, he was a powerful figure.
And in this plane, he is also a powerful figure.
Zeng Guofan stepped forward: “Your Majesty, the military strength of the Western countries is extremely terrifying. The four major powers of the West are said to have experts with the Mysterious Immortal Realm cultivation level in charge. The Western countries have swept the globe and colonized the world. They are not something our New Dynasty can contend with at all.
Before, we also fought with the Western countries. But we lost, and at that time we signed a series of treaties, such as the Treaty of Nanjing.
Under such circumstances, it is unwise to offend the Western countries because of a few hundred ordinary people.
If we really convict this John, I’m afraid foreign allies will be astonished. If the foreign allies of the Western countries really send stronger military forces, we will lose face.”
“Therefore, for the sake of not astonishing foreign allies, let’s just release this John and escort him back to his country.”
The other officials also stood up one by one.
Most of them had the same thoughts as Zeng Guofan.
“That’s right, Your Majesty, we cannot afford to offend the Western countries, let’s just release him.”
“The Western countries are too terrifying. They are the true chosen people of God, not someone we can afford to offend. Let’s just release him.”
“It is not good if foreign allies are astonished. It’s just a few hundred commoners who died, it’s not a big deal.”
The opinions of the group of officials were very consistent.
Peng Liuyun was also a little timid.
After all, the Western countries on the opposite side had defeated the New Dynasty’s army head-on. Moreover, it is said that the Western countries have experts with the Mysterious Immortal Realm in charge, which is too terrifying.
He looked at Peng Feng with a guilty conscience, wanting to see what the Grand Ancestor Emperor would say.
At this moment,
Peng Feng sneered: “Good, very good, this is the officialdom of my Great New Dynasty, really good, afraid of astonishing foreign allies. Therefore, when the white people of the Western countries harm hundreds of our citizens, you can still act like cowards.”
“You people might as well not draw Qilin or Immortal Cranes on your official robes, just draw turtles directly, and say that you are turtles.”
“When I established the New Dynasty, it was to protect the people.”
“Now, the Western countries have come, and you are kneeling down and surrendering, constantly saying that you are afraid of astonishing foreign allies, it’s truly disgusting.”
“This John must die. He will be subjected to the Lingchi punishment in Qingse Island to relieve the hatred in the hearts of the people.”
“In addition, our New Dynasty will abolish all concessions. This is our own territory, and concessions are not allowed to exist. All those broken treaties like the Treaty of Nanjing are all abolished.”
“Grand Ancestor Emperor, if you do this, I’m afraid it will attract the Western countries’ army. This is an unwise plan.” Zeng Guofan was anxious, he was really afraid of the people from the Western countries.
“If they want to fight, then I will fight!” Peng Feng said coldly: “There is a saying, ‘When the cannons come, blast their mothers.'”
“What kind of bullshit chosen people of God.”
“What kind of bullshit center of the Earth.”
“Go to hell.”
