"So, the conservation bill passed?"

Holding the phone, Fang Zheng showed a weird smile.

"Yes, Mr. Founder, Congress has passed the 'Cursed Child' Protection Act... But, will it really work?"

The tone of Saint Tianzi was somewhat anxious and uneasy. She knew why Congress was willing to pass the bill. On the one hand, it was because the threat of the Zodiac was imminent. On the other hand, they were fearless and thought that even if the bill was passed, it would be useless. After all, the current environment is that "cursed children" will be discriminated against. As the saying goes, the law does not punish the masses. Can you still arrest everyone?

These congressmen probably had already planned that as long as the people resisted fiercely, they would immediately withdraw the bill, and then use this as an excuse to weaken the power of the Holy Emperor - this is not a bad thing, right? It is precisely because of this that they did not resist much and finally chose to pass the bill. But in the eyes of the Holy Emperor, this is not a victory.

"So, my request was also approved?"

"Yes, but...Mr. Fang Zheng, what does that mean?"

The requirement Fang Zheng mentioned was a special clause in the "Cursed Child" protection bill, which specifically required Tiandao Palace to have the power to assist in the management of the bill. This clause seemed a bit strange, but since it was clearly stated in the bill that Tiandao Palace did not have the power to enforce the law, the power of law enforcement still lay with the Tokyo Regional Police, so although the members of Congress had some doubts about this "special assistance management", they still passed it.

After all, Fang Zheng also stated in the terms that those who violate the law need to be detained and imprisoned, and this part will naturally be the responsibility of Tiandao Palace.

But will anyone really arrest those lawbreakers? I'm afraid that even if the police see it, they will turn a blind eye. In this case, your Tiandao Palace does not have the authority to arrest criminals. Can you still make them surrender? This is really a joke!

"You'll find out soon enough."

After saying this, Fang Zheng closed his phone and looked at the TV again. At this moment, the guests on TV were discussing this matter with anger on their faces.

"The Saint Emperor has gone too far! She forced Congress to pass the Cursed Child Protection Act, but to what end? Doesn't she know the consequences of going against the people? According to media surveys, the Saint Emperor's approval rating has dropped by five percentage points. Isn't that enough to prove the problem?"

"Those 'cursed children' should not be protected at all! Lady Saint Emperor was also 'plundered'. Why did she introduce such a clause? Does she intend to allow those 'cursed children' to have the right to vote?"

"Dear viewers, please look, thousands of people have gathered on Central Avenue to protest against the 'Cursed Child' Protection Act passed by the Holy Son of Heaven and Congress. The crowd is very emotional..."

As the host spoke, the scene on the screen changed, and I saw thousands of people holding banners and marching on the central avenue while shouting slogans.

"The protostomes are unforgivable! Drive out the cursed children!"

In front of these indignant people, the host was reporting with a serious face.

"From what we can see now, the 'Cursed Child' Protection Act has not been recognized by the general public..."

Just as Fang Zheng expected, public opinion and social situation did not support the "Cursed Child" Protection Act, but he didn't care because... he already had a countermeasure.

"Five, four, three, two, one..."

Looking at the time on the TV screen, Fang Zheng muttered softly.

"Here's a piece of news."

Then, the screen changed again and the host appeared on the screen. Her expression was a little complicated, but she still continued speaking.

"Just now, the Tiandao Palace officially issued a notice. In order to support the 'Cursed Children' Protection Act of the Holy Son of Heaven, the Tiandao Palace will provide assistance rewards according to the special provisions of the protection act. Anyone who has clues about others' discrimination, insults, beatings, and other violations of the protection act can submit videos and audio recordings as evidence to the 'Cursed Children' Act counter of the police station. Once the Tiandao Palace confirms the authenticity of the evidence, the person who submits the clues can receive a reward ranging from 10,000 to 50,000 yuan, and the police officers who arrest the criminals who violate the 'Cursed Children' Act can receive a reward of 100,000 yuan each time... At the same time, the Tiandao Palace announced that it will build a city dedicated to the collection of cursed children. Cursed children and their families can go to a designated location in the outer area to seek shelter. The address is..."

“How could it be…”

Looking at the news on the screen, the Holy Emperor and other members of the parliament were speechless. They all thought about how the Heavenly Dao Palace would solve this problem. After all, even if the bill was passed, no one would enforce it.

However, they did not expect that the other party would resort to such means!

Money Offensive!!

In this era, most people can't make much money. Maybe in peacetime, 50,000 yuan can only be considered a small profit. But in this end times, when a bag of bean sprouts only costs 6 yuan, 10,000 to 50,000 yuan can definitely be considered a huge sum of money! Its value is almost the same as 100,000 to 500,000 yuan in peacetime!

Not to mention, every police officer who arrests a suspect can receive a reward of 100,000 yuan!!

This is just throwing money away!!

Where does Tiandao Palace get so much money?

Fang Zheng certainly didn't have that much money, but for him, getting money was not a problem. With Nymph around, it was easy to hack into the bank system and transfer funds. And the money he was paying out now all came from the black gold accounts of those big shots and the Chamber of Commerce. With Nymph's methods, these guys wouldn't find any clues even if they searched thoroughly.

But now, for those congressmen, what they are worried about is not the money that has disappeared from their black gold accounts, but - the world has changed! !

In this era, the lives of the lower classes were very poor, and full of pressure and danger. This was why the upper class acquiesced to their oppression of the Cursed Children. On the one hand, they really hated the Cursed Children, and on the other hand, it was also to divert the focus of the conflict and let the ordinary people focus on the Cursed Children, so that the high-ranking bigwigs could relax a little.

But now, this move by Tiandao Palace has disrupted their plans!

Indeed, those people hate the "cursed child", but no one can resist money! As long as you provide clues, you can get money, and for the police, arresting a criminal can get a bonus equivalent to one year's salary! More importantly, all of this is legal income!

It was Congress itself that stamped the bill!

Previously, these councillors were still wondering what the so-called "special assistance" of the Tiandao Palace meant. Now they finally understood that this was the other party's idea! !

In this way, anyone can guess what will happen next.

Even if the public appears to be dismissive, there will definitely be poor people who will secretly look for evidence and sell it to the Tiandao Palace. The police can arrest the suspects in the name of "acting in accordance with the law". Those who used to bully the "cursed children" at will have to restrain their behavior, otherwise, everyone around them may be a spy who may report them! !

“This is a violation of social order!!”

A congressman slammed the table and stood up, his face livid.

“We must stop this!!”

“But this is a bill that Congress passed unanimously.”

The Holy Emperor also seemed a little worried, but even so, she shook her head.

"The actions of the Tiandao Palace did not violate the agreement between us."

"But...that's right!"

Thinking of this, the congressman seemed to suddenly remember something and slammed the table.

"The bill only allows the Tiandao Palace to assist us and set up an office, but it does not mention building a city!"

"Yes, they want to build a country within a country in the Tokyo area! This is impossible! We must negotiate with the Tiandao Palace immediately!"

“That’s right!!”

Looking at the excited crowd, Saint Emperor frowned slightly, but she was also confused because Fang Zheng had never mentioned to her about building a city before, and now he suddenly brought it up, which inevitably made the girl feel a little strange.

"I will contact Mr. Fang Zheng immediately. Please wait for a moment."

As he spoke, the Holy Emperor opened the contact and quickly answered Fang Zheng's call. Soon, Fang Zheng's voice emerged from the microphone.

"Ah, Miss Sheng Tianzi, hello. Since you called me, it means that you have seen the notice from Tiandao Palace? I wonder if you have any opinion?"

"I personally have no objection, Mr. Founder."

As he spoke, the Holy Emperor glanced at the parliamentarians around him.

"But I would like to ask, regarding the construction of a city to shelter the 'Cursed Child'... why didn't you negotiate with us in advance?"

"Um?"

In response to the question from the Holy Emperor, Fang Zheng also responded with a question mark.

"Why am I telling you this?"

"Aren't you planning to build a gathering place for the 'Cursed Children' in the outer district?"

At this moment, the Holy Emperor and the parliamentarians also reacted. Could it be that...

"I did say to build a city of cursed children, but..."

When he said this, there was a hint of strange laughter in Fang Zheng's tone.

"I didn't say that it would be built in the Tokyo area, so... Miss Sheng Tianzi and the councillors don't need to worry about this matter."
