Zhao Hu was even granted the title of Third-Rank Dragon General because of Yan Song's case, but the Ministry of Revenue is currently short of staff, so the official announcement has not yet been issued.

Now that he has been able to establish a relationship with Zhao Hu, Zhao Ritian feels as if an immense fortune is about to befall him.

Although Zhao Hu was his former subordinate and he felt a little jealous that Zhao Hu had to curry favor with him, being able to get on Li Chang'an's good side was a minor issue.

He turned around, drew his knife, and looked at Ye Liangchen with a smile: "Young Master Ye, do you know why I'm going to the Ye family?"

"Why...?"

Ye Liangchen held his wine glass, looking at Zhao Ritian's ferocious expression, and felt a sense of fear in his heart, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

Hehe~

Seeing his frightened expression, Zhao Ritian laughed: "Because I am under orders from the Eastern Depot to exterminate your entire Ye family."

"This is impossible!" Ye Liangchen couldn't help but scream when he heard this: "My Ye family is backed by Chief Minister Yan Song. How dare your Eastern Depot confiscate my entire Ye family's property?"

Upon hearing this, all the Imperial Guards burst into laughter, and Zhao Ritian laughed so hard that tears streamed down his face.

"The Yan family, do you know that a few days ago, the entire Yan family was executed?"

"And Chief Minister Yan was executed by slow slicing, and it was General Zhao's men who carried out the execution of Chief Minister Yan and his family by slow slicing."

Upon hearing Zhao Ritian's words, all the villagers were stunned for a moment, then stared at Zhao Hu in disbelief.

The Zhao brothers even stood up from their chairs, thinking they might have drunk too much.

He actually dared to call his own nephew by his full name.

Old Zhao's hand trembled so violently it left afterimages, and he was so excited that his whole body convulsed.

"My Zhao family has made something of itself! My Zhao family has made something of itself!"
