In ancient times, some noble scions, upon taking a fancy to a beauty or a treasure, would directly slaughter an entire family, and in the end, there'd be no repercussions.
It's not that these young nobles lacked brains, but rather, they were aware of their status and the privileges it conferred.
Even if they killed an entire family, it wouldn't matter.
When Qin Niu was initially ennobled as a first-class noble, he had no intention of killing anyone. However, the He Family failed to see the situation clearly, thinking that a first-class noble was a mere figurehead, someone they could control, which was almost like forcing Qin Niu into annihilating them completely.
"Qin Niu, fully aware of the strict laws, why did you still slaughter the entire He Family? Did you commit murder to plunder the He Family's wealth?"
As soon as the City Commandant spoke, he immediately dug several pits for Qin Niu.
This was somewhat akin to setting a trap and waiting for someone to fall into it.
