Chapter 22 The Divine Monument Guarding the Prefecture!

In a blink of an eye, it was the next day.

More than 200 people in the Zhao Mansion were arrested, and the Zhao family members from other places had strong men to capture them.

There were more than ten of these people who were officials, and some of them were not low-ranking officials.

With Zhao Chang as their back, they were promoted quickly. Among them, there was one fourth-rank official and three fifth-rank officials.

"Your Majesty's decree, Zhao Chang was corrupt, and his whole family should have been executed. Your Majesty is merciful and pardoned the following people."

"Zhao Renguang, Zhao Sufang, Zhao Sicheng——"

In the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, an old eunuch next to Qin Zhentian came over to read the decree. Those who were pardoned were all young children.

They were still young and had not enjoyed much of the wealth of the Zhao family.

"Your Majesty, spare my life, Your Majesty, spare my life."

"Your Majesty——"

After the old eunuch finished reading, he found that his name was not there. Many people burst into tears, and they were all terrified.

"Lord Tang, hurry up and deal with it."

The old eunuch handed the decree to Tang Jun.

"I obey your order!"

Tang Jun took the imperial edict respectfully.

Not long after, nearly 200 people from the Zhao family died, and all the wealth owned by the Zhao family was confiscated.

The few children who were pardoned would be hypnotized and sent away, and they would not remember what had happened at all.

"Hmm?"

Xiao Fan in the Prince's Mansion was delighted.

He felt the luck of the empire again.

This time, more than one luck of the empire entered his body, but they added up to less than what Zhao Chang provided alone.

"Except for a few children, all the Zhao family members died."

"I heard that your majesty has mastered a new method of checking accounts, and one check is accurate."

"I wonder if anyone will follow Zhao Chang's footsteps."

The execution of the entire Zhao family shocked countless people, and many officials trembled.

Zhao Chang was the Minister of Industry, and his status and position, including the power behind him, were not weak, but they were all dealt with in a crushing manner.

If the rest of the people were found out, Qin Zhentian might be even less polite.

"Master, what should we do?"

"Will His Majesty know about it? Will our family also know about it?"

A woman in the home of Feng Yang, the Minister of Rites, said in a trembling voice.

She knew that her husband had embezzled a lot.

Although the amount was not as large as Zhao Chang's, it was more than 100 million Tianlong coins, which was enough to make their entire family be executed.

Feng Yang's face was extremely gloomy.

"Don't panic, maybe His Majesty just found out about Zhao Chang."

Feng Yang pretended to be calm.

At this moment, someone sent a message to Feng Yang: "Minister Feng, do you take the initiative yourself, or will His Majesty find you when the time comes?"

Feng Yang's face changed drastically.

The one who sent him the message at this moment was the old eunuch beside Qin Zhentian. He must have received Qin Zhentian's instructions to do so.

Since the other party sent him the message, Qin Zhentian must have obtained ironclad evidence.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Feng Yang's wife asked.

She could see that Feng Yang looked a little strange.

Feng Yang said in a trembling voice: "I have to go to the palace. I probably won't survive. I will try my best to ask His Majesty to show mercy and spare you."

"But I'm afraid the money in the family can't be saved."

The woman looked very angry.

"Master, let's escape."

The woman transmitted the message. She had a certain level of cultivation, so it was no problem for her to transmit the message.

Feng Yang smiled bitterly.

There must be a strong man eyeing them in secret. Where can they escape to?

"The entire Zhao family will be executed. His Majesty should not want more killing now. You will probably still be able to survive."

Feng Yang put on his official uniform and arrived at the palace half an hour later.

"I am Feng Yang, the Minister of Rites, and I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Feng Yang knelt down and kowtowed.

There was another person next to him, whose official position was similar to his.

Qin Zhentian paused reviewing the memorials.

He raised his head and said calmly: "Minister Feng, why did you come to see me?"

Feng Yang said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I have embezzled a lot in recent years. I am willing to confiscate all my property. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy."

"That's it?"

Qin Zhentian said indifferently.

Feng Yang kowtowed and said: "I am willing to die. I only ask Your Majesty to spare my family for the sake of my merits in these years."

Qin Zhentian was silent for a while and said: "According to your crimes, your entire family should be executed."

"I will spare most of your family members because you are still proactive, but your son will die with you."

Feng Yang and his friends looked miserable. Sure enough, their sons could not avoid death.

"Why don't you thank me?"

The old eunuch Cai Gonggong standing next to him said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Feng Yang and his friends kowtowed and thanked him.

Only the son died, and most of the family members survived. This situation is still good, at least it is countless times better than the Zhao family.

Qin Zhentian waved his hand.

Feng Yang and the others were quickly taken away.

Not long after, Feng Yang and his two sons were executed, and all the family property was confiscated.

"And!"

Xiao Fan felt a few more imperial lucks.

"System, I got so much imperial luck, I should be able to sign in and win the grand prize tomorrow."

Xiao Fan said in his mind.

"Almost."

The system said in a calm voice.

With so much imperial luck, it would be difficult for Xiao Fan to sign in anything bad.

In a blink of an eye, it was the next day.

Xiao Fan never got the luck of the empire again, but he was content. The death of three ministers in a short period of time had a great impact.

"Cultivation, cultivation, cultivation."

"Important things should be said three times."

After bathing and changing clothes, Xiao Fan muttered in his mind.

In his current situation, if he gets the cultivation reward, it will take at least a hundred years, and three to five hundred years is not impossible.

"System, sign in!"

Xiao Fan took a deep breath and said in his mind.

"Sign in successfully, congratulations to the host for obtaining a piece of Zhenfu Divine Stele."

Xiao Fan was stunned: "System, what is the Zhenfu Divine Stele? I got a lot of imperial luck, and I signed in for this thing?"

The system said: "Host, the Zhenfu Divine Stele you got is a god-level treasure. If you use the Zhenfu Divine Stele, you will be invincible within a certain range."

"The range depends on your cultivation."

"With your current cultivation, if you use the Zhenfu Divine Stele, you should be invincible in your yard."

Xiao Fan said in shock: "System, even a strong man at the perfect level of the Martial Emperor can't beat me in this yard?"

"Yes."

"But don't waste it, the power in the Zhenfu Divine Stele is limited. If it is used up, you will be beaten back to your original form."

"The Zhenfu Divine Stele is difficult to move after use. Are you sure you want to use it?"

The system said in Xiao Fan's mind.

"Use it!"

Instantly a golden Zhenfu Divine Stele sank into the ground.

Xiao Fan felt that he had made contact with the Zhenfu Divine Stele.

"The range is 20 meters."

"The whole courtyard is covered in it, and there is still a little more."
