I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1044

Just as she was about to leave the hall, she turned her head, looking at the varied expressions on the faces of the officials present, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes, she said sharply:

"Wait!"

"Apart from Tang Xingbang, there are other officials from the State Mansion involved in this matter, and they are right here in this room!"

"Oh?"

Chu Yanli raised a hand to signal the Mystic Armor Guard to stop, and said with interest, "Then why don't you tell us, who else is involved here?"

Hua Yinglan took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Assistant of the Grain Bureau Ke Jingning, Changhe Xuan, Assistant Judge Ji Jin... these people have all been bribed by Tang Xingbang, giving the green light to goods approvals, Ke Jingning even prepared a warehouse specifically for temporarily storing Barbarian Slaves!"

"Every year, the silver they receive for their shares amounts to tens of thousands of taels, all real silver, impossible to fake, Your Highness can easily verify this!"

"You are spouting nonsense!"

"Talking recklessly, daring to slander me!"

"Slander, blatant slander! Your Highness must not listen to the words of petty people!"

The few who were named couldn't sit still anymore, they stood up and loudly rebuked.

Chu Yanli ignored them, looked up at Hua Yinglan, and said, "You should know in your heart that no matter how you confess your sins, you are still going to die."

"I understand."

Outside came heart-wrenching wails, Ming Yuchun had already been set on fire, the flames reflected on Hua Yinglan's face, her eyelids slightly lowered, she said in a low voice, "I just want a quick end."

"Granted."

Chu Yanli extended her slender hand, pointing through the air.

A dazzling golden light flashed, and Hua Yinglan's forehead was pierced through with a loud bang.

Her eyes turned hollow, and she collapsed to the ground, blood flowed wantonly beneath her, yet her face bore a trace of a relieved smile.

The wails outside gradually subsided, and the burnt smell in the air grew more intense.

The sound of a pin drop could be heard around, the pressure in the air was immensely low.

The officials present drooped their heads, their cold sweat had already soaked through their clothes.

"Now, everyone should understand why I put Gu in the wine, right?" Chu Yanli leaned back in her chair, legs crossed, speaking lazily, "Bailu City is rotten to the core, there's no way to clean it up, rather than that, it's better to just scrape the bones to cure the poison, and completely remove the rotten flesh."

"I have reported to the court, and the additional imperial envoy will arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest, to take over all the affairs of the State Mansion."

"So, rather than saying this banquet is to welcome me, it's more like a farewell for you all."

With this, the faces of the crowd turned even more deathly pale.

"However..."

Chu Yanli changed the tone, saying, "But don't accuse me of being heartless, I still left an opportunity for you."
