The people who had just pleaded for the Xu Family trembled, not knowing how to respond.
A glint flashed in Qin Hao's eyes: "A life for a life, that's the way of the world and the law. You all know the law, yet you break it knowingly. What crime should that be?"
As he spoke, his tone grew colder, chilling those present to the bone.
These people were terrified. They hadn't expected Qin Hao to return today, completely unprepared.
"Guards, take all those who pleaded for mercy into the dungeon," Qin Hao ordered, tired of their silence.
The surrounding people were stunned. Just like that, imprisoned?
Even the palace guards were taken aback. The guard leader turned to look at Ye Lingyi, who glared at him intensely.
He quickly understood, and with the guards, cuffed the individuals and took them away.
Qin Hao looked at the other officials with an indifferent tone: "Is there anyone else who wishes to plead for the Xu Family?"
