Apart from the Light Shield Royal Family, the one who contributed the most to this country was the Bouvier Family.
Although Barrett also understood that where there is light there must be shadow, he did not expect that the kingdom that seemed prosperous on the surface had already been eaten away by termites in the shadows.
At this moment, he really wanted to use the Illuminati's saying "Shadows cannot be tolerated by light", which is used to teach all noble children, to scold these corrupt politicians for not doing practical things!
These powerful nobles were not even aware that hostile forces had infiltrated right under their noses, and they even intended to assassinate King Jarvan III!
How could Barrett bear this?
"Among the targets of this purge are 23 members of the Zachry family of Law Minister Newman, 21 members of the Fitch family of Finance Minister Borg, 17 members of the Harlan family of Noble Administration Minister Wallis, 13 members of the Carter family of Foreign Minister Camilla, and 6 members of the Omar family of Land Resources Minister Clemens."
The more he spoke, the more angry he became.
When the family names of the Strong Shield ministers on the purge list were announced in public, even he felt extremely ashamed.
Then, Barrett snorted coldly and read out the candidates from each family one by one.
Everyone lowered their heads, looking extremely ashamed, and didn't dare to look up at the king and Barrett.
"The above 80 people account for more than half of the entire purge list. I really don't know how you educate your own children?!" Barrett shouted, but no one dared to refute him at this juncture.
Then, he read out the rest of the list one by one. These people were all members of other minor families in Xiongdu, and there were even some members of small, unknown families.
As his loud and angry voice echoed in the parliament hall, Li Lin and Jarvan III were observing the changing expressions of the parliamentarians in front of them.
However, since they are able to hold the position of members of parliament, they have all been in the political field for a long time and can be said to be old hands. They are quite good at managing their expressions and basically nothing can be seen.
Since being temporarily dismissed from his official position, Eldred still hasn't revealed any flaws, but after being scanned and analyzed by the intelligent brain, he was indeed panicked, as if something was beyond his expectations.
Li Lin knew very well that Eldred would not be the only mastermind behind this incident.
The mysterious man disguised as the Illuminator who provided Silas with mana potions has not been found yet.
But now the Xiongdu, including the sewers, has been trapped by Li Lin's drones and storm robots, and he has no way to escape.
Besides, Eldred won't be patient for too long. He already knows about the truth serum and will soon meet secretly with his followers. Maybe they will be some of the five congressmen in front of him, or even all of them.
When they meet, it will be time to close the net completely.
After Barrett finished reading out the entire list and preliminarily determined the crimes of most of the people according to Demacia's laws, he sat back in his seat with a gloomy face.
The parliament hall fell into a long silence again.
"Newman, what do you think about this?" the king asked with a cold face, without raising his head.
This time, the Zakri family had the most members involved in the Xiongdu Rebellion, so many that even Newman himself hadn't expected it. Not to mention that he was in charge of Demacia's laws...
The king never shows his emotions, and it is already very good that Jarvan III can still suppress his anger and speak calmly.
Newman cursed inwardly before realizing that he had probably been tricked.
But is this Zachley family member Eldred, Camilla, or Clemens...
He is currently unknown.
At least, it couldn't be those four middle-class families whose strength could only be ranked at the middle level of Xiongdu.
The person Newman was most suspicious of was Eldred, this hypocritical little man who said one thing in front of others and another behind their backs.
What's more, there are Noxians involved this time, which is completely different from their original plan of internal fighting. Maybe it was Eldred who did it!
Newman glanced at Camilla beside him out of the corner of his eye, and his eyes met hers.
I told you before, don't be so hasty in implementing the plan!
This was what Newman wanted to convey, and Camilla understood it immediately.
But she just looked away, which annoyed Newman.
"Lord Zakli, His Majesty is asking you a question!" Tiana urged in an dissatisfied tone.
"Oh, yes!" he responded immediately. "I deeply blame myself for this riot. It was my negligence that led the Zachley children astray and into this riot! When I return home this time, I will definitely put things in order at home to avoid..."
At this moment, Jarvan III slammed the table, interrupting Newman's words, startling some people in the hall.
"You should know that I don't want to hear your jargon." The king's voice was very indifferent, like the brief calm before the storm.
Newman was stunned for a moment. "I, I don't understand what you mean, Your Majesty."
"Oh? You really don't understand?" Jarvan III sneered, "Why do I feel like your name should be on this list of counter-revolutionaries?"
