"Divine punishment! It's divine punishment!"

The rebels began to flee, but it was too late.

The giant palm of lightning slammed down, and the entire city wall instantly vaporized.

After the dazzling white light,

Outside the city, only a black palm print with a diameter of one kilometer remained, and tens of thousands of rebels were reduced to ashes.

When Lin Yuan returned to the main hall,

All the Crusch nobles had already knelt on the ground, not even daring to raise their heads.

“Promise fulfilled.”

He walked towards the throne, and the black crystals automatically formed into stairs under his feet.

"From today on, this is my palace."

Leonard collapsed to the ground, his armor making a crisp clanging sound. "You...you said you would help us..."

"yes."

Lin Yuan looked at her and smiled, "I said I would put down the rebellion."

“But I didn’t say how.”

Sitting on the throne, Lin Yuan looked at him with contempt.

"You should remember your promise to assess the rebellion for me."

Hearing this, Celestine sighed and whispered to Kaguya beside her, "Master is going to have a new sister."

Kaguya gave a sly smile: "It's a mother-daughter duo this time~"

Leonard nodded desperately: "I know."

At this moment, in his view, he was the one who caused the downfall of this country.

Lin Yuan sat on his newly acquired throne, tapping the armrests lightly with his fingertips.

He glanced coldly at the kneeling Crusch nobles below, his voice low and dangerous:

"As the new king, tell me now, how bad has this country become?"

There was a dead silence in the hall.

The nobles looked at each other,

No one dared to speak first.

Lin Yuan's patience quickly ran out. He raised his hand and grabbed

The nearest obese noble was instantly lifted up by an invisible force, suspended in mid-air, his legs kicking wildly.

"you say."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

O奇??248 "I...I'm only in charge of taxes. Disasters are not my responsibility!"

The nobleman protested in horror.

Lin Yuan sneered: "Taxes? That's perfect. Tell me how much grain is left in the treasury?"

"This...this..."

The nobleman's forehead was covered with sweat and he faltered.

"boom!"

Lin Yuan clenched his five fingers,

The obese noble's body instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist, splattering on the faces of those around him.

"Next."

The nobles were so frightened that their souls were almost utterly terrified. Finally, someone spoke tremblingly: "Your Majesty!"

"The drought has lasted for six months. The farmland has yielded nothing, and the granaries in the capital are already empty!"

"The rebels rebelled because they were starving!"

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes. "The granary is empty? What about the grain stored in the homes of you nobles?"

There was another silence.

"Oh."

Lin Yuan stood up, his black robe fluttering without wind.

"It seems you would rather watch the civilians starve to death than give up a little bit of profit?"

He raised his hand and waved,

Dozens of black chains instantly wrapped around the necks of all the nobles present, suspending them in mid-air.

"This is your last chance. Anyone who has hoarded food or withheld disaster relief supplies should confess."

"I say! I say!"

A nobleman collapsed and shouted,

"The finance minister has thousands of tons of wheat stored in his cellar!"

"He sells it to merchants at a high price, and then asks the merchants to sell it to ordinary people at double the price!"

"The Minister of War embezzled the relief grain sent from the border and falsely claimed it was stolen by the rebels!"

"The Home Secretary's daughter used disaster relief funds to buy jewelry!"

The nobles rushed to expose each other, fearing they would be hanged if they were late.

As Lin Yuan listened, the coldness in his eyes grew deeper and deeper.

"very good."

He snapped his fingers.

The black chain suddenly tightened,

One third of the nobles had their necks strangled on the spot.

The body fell to the ground like a rag.

The remaining nobles looked pale, and some even lost control of their bladders.

"Now, you have two choices."

Lin Yuan sat back on the throne, his voice terrifyingly calm.

"First."

"Hand over all the food and money stored in your home."

"Go to the streets and distribute it to the victims yourself, and I can spare your lives."

"Second... I will send you to hell right now, and you will personally repent to the civilians who died of starvation."

Without hesitation, all the nobles kowtowed frantically: "We choose the first one! Your Majesty, please have mercy! We will do it!"

Lin Yuan sneered and turned to look at Celestine beside him. "Go, bring Kaguya and the guards, and raid their homes one by one. Who dares to hide a grain of rice..."

"The whole family was hanged on the city wall."

0 ....

Celestine bowed gracefully. "As you command, Master."

Soon, a strange sight appeared on the streets of the capital.

The nobles who were high and mighty in the past,

At this moment, he stood in front of the grain cart, his face covered in dust.

Hand out food to the hungry,

If you slack off for a moment, the white-armored knight behind you will whip you.

Under Lin Yuan's pressure and absolute strength, the rebellion gradually came to an end.

Lin Yuan stood in front of the French window of his bedroom, overlooking the capital city that was gradually coming back to life.

On the streets,

Civilians lined up in long queues to receive food, and smoke rose from the roofs again.

Celestine and the other princesses are very efficient.

In just half a day, this dying city had a chance to breathe.

After all, before becoming Lin Yuan's women, these people were all kings of a country.

The ruling wisdom and executive power ingrained in their bones allow them to handle government affairs with ease.

Lin Yuan tapped the window frame with his fingertips, his eyes fixed on a tower deep inside the palace.

That is the bedroom of Princess Tamanna.

Through Merlin's memory, he already knew the layout of the palace clearly.

"Master seems very interested in that princess?"

Celestine appeared behind him at some point, holding a parchment scroll in both hands.

She came to Lin Yuan and handed him the scroll with a sly smile on her face.

"Master, the list is ready."

Behind her,

Critia was escorting a dozen shackled noble girls.

Their clothes were disheveled and their eyes were filled with fear.

Lin Yuan took the list and looked it over.

"Princess Tamanna, the widow of the former King Crusch, 33 years old."

"Eldest Princess: Princess Farahi, 18 years old, leader of the Silver Sword Knights."

"Second Princess: Safina, 16 years old, apprentice to the palace priest."

"Wife of the Finance Minister: Luvia, 28 years old, actual controller of the Chamber of Commerce."

......

Seventeen people in total.

"The mother-daughter duo is indeed complete~"

Celestine leaned close to Lin Yuan's ear and said with a smile, "When the princess heard the news of her husband's death, she fainted on the spot, didn't she?"

Lin Yuan closed the list and glanced at the group of trembling noble girls. "Lock them in the dungeon first."

He turned and walked towards the depths of the bedroom, his black robe brushing against the carpet.

"Now, I will collect my spoils myself."

Candles flickered in the royal chambers.

Princess Tamanna was chained to a large carved bed.

Her golden hair spread out like a waterfall on the silk pillow,

The teardrop mole at the right corner of her eye adds a touch of charm under the flickering candlelight.

"Let me go, you bastards!"

She struggled, and the chains made a crisp clanging sound. "Where are Farah and Safina?!"

Click,

The door opened silently, and Lin Yuan stood against the light.

The princess's angry scolding stopped abruptly.
