After the morning court session ended, the news that Qin Zhentian was about to pass on the throne spread quickly.
But this was not the most explosive news. The most explosive news was that more than fifty ministers rebelled and were all beheaded by Qin Zhentian.
"how so?"
"Why would my father rebel?"
Most of the families of the fifty or so ministers who died could not believe it, but a very small number of them knew about the conspiracy to rebellion.
"We have to move out as soon as possible."
"That's right, we leave Shengjing City."
In the home of a second-rank minister, more than a dozen people spoke up.
"Elder, what do you say?"
One of them said, they looked at a silent old man in the family. This old man had a high level of cultivation and lived for a long time.
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy to move out of Shengjing City."
“Even leaving the house might be difficult.”
The old man spoke slowly.
"No...no?"
Another person said nervously.
There were only four people in their family who knew about the rebellion, and he was one of them.
"You'll know if you try it."
One of them quickly arrived at the gate. Servants had come in and out without any problems that morning, but their core members had not yet entered or left.
"Stop."
"His Majesty has decreed that the core members of the Feng family are not allowed to enter or leave the Feng Mansion. Core members who are not in the Feng Mansion must return within ten days."
"Your Majesty will thoroughly investigate who in the Feng family is plotting rebellion. The rest will live, but those who know the inside story will die."
A strong man instantly appeared in front of the person who came out of Feng Mansion.
"What will happen if those of our Feng family who are not in the mansion don't return?"
The man who came out asked.
"If you do this, you will be directly charged with conspiracy to rebel, and will also be charged with disobeying the imperial order, and your entire clan will be exterminated. If there are more than three such people in the same family, the entire family will be executed."
The strong man who blocked it said coldly.
“I…I understand.”
The man from Feng's family said in fear.
He quickly retreated and told the others what had happened.
"It seems that His Majesty is going to conduct a thorough purge before Your Highness ascends the throne. If any of you know the inside story, it would be best if you find a suitable excuse to die unexpectedly in the near future."
The elder of the Feng family sighed.
He himself had to consider accidental death, and he knew the situation.
"Elder, is it that serious?"
"Perhaps His Majesty is just making a lot of noise but not taking action, and won't conduct a thorough investigation."
Feng family said to one person.
He didn't know the inside story, but he could vaguely guess something. This situation made him very confused and uneasy.
"well."
The clan elder sighed.
"Your Majesty will definitely do what he has decided to do. Don't take any chances. If he died accidentally, His Majesty might not investigate."
"It won't affect the rest of the people."
Someone else said, "Elder, if someone dies unexpectedly at this time, wouldn't that be like telling His Majesty that there's something wrong with him?"
The elder shook his head: "Your Majesty didn't arrest anyone directly, which shows that as long as you know what's appropriate, Your Majesty doesn't want to make things too big."
"Only those who are stubborn will be severely punished."
"Those of you who know the inside story, think about it for yourselves. Do you want to die innocently in an accident, or do you want to be convicted of treason and die?"
Everyone was silent.
Being convicted of treason and dying had a huge impact.
Seven days passed in a blink of an eye. In just seven days, more than one hundred people from the fifty or so families that were blocked died accidentally.
Some of them died accidentally after rushing back from other places.
Of course there are those who hope for luck, but more people choose "accidental death" because the probability that Qin Zhentian cannot find out is small.
——Senior Nuwa is a perfect demigod. She suspects who sent her there. Under the guidance of her soul, she may directly tell what she did.
"My Lord, the Marquis of Zhenyuan is here to visit."
Wu Hai's voice sounded in Xiao Fan's mind.
Xiao Fan was watering the Wudao Immortal Tea at this moment. The tea leaves on the Wudao Immortal Tea tree had grown a little bit.
"Take me to the door."
Xiao Fan ordered.
With his strength at the perfect level of Martial Emperor, he could reach the door in a very short time, but for the time being he continued to hide his strength.
Signing in lately works well!
Besides, if they knew that he had the strength of a perfect Martial Emperor, who knows whether any force would use the God-Slaying Treasure against him.
The God-Slaying Treasure is similar to the nuclear weapons of the previous life. It must not be used lightly, as it has a very strong impact when used.
"Marquis Zhenyuan, welcome, welcome."
Pulled by Wu Hai's strength, Xiao Fan quickly reached the door.
"Congratulations, Xiao Shidu."
"It's only been a short time, and you've gone from being the Earl of Wenchang to the Marquis of Wenchang."
Nangong Jin bowed and smiled.
Xiao Fan was puzzled. Nangong Jin had a smile on his face, but there seemed to be a hint of worry between his brows. He must have come here for something.
"Marquis Zhenyuan, I benefited from Senior Nuwa's kindness. Since Senior Nuwa didn't show up, Your Majesty had no choice but to give me the favor."
"Marquis Zhenyuan, please."
Xiao Fan and Nangong Jin entered the mansion and sat down in the main hall. Murong Die quickly served tea to Xiao Fan and the others.
Tea is the tea of enlightenment.
Nangong Jin is one of the father-in-laws.
"Reader Xiao, you didn't like being called Wenchangbo before, but now you're Wenchanghou. How about calling you Wenchanghou?"
Nangong Jindao.
Xiao Fan shook his head: "Marquis Zhenyuan, you can just call me by my name."
Nangong Jin's eyes flashed with brilliance. Nangong Suxin followed Xiao Fan, but Nangong Suxin had never told him about this. However, judging from Xiao Fan's words and actions, this matter should be a foregone conclusion.
In the past, at least his rank was higher than Xiao Fan's. Now Xiao Fan is the Marquis of Wenchang and he is the Marquis of Zhenyuan, so their ranks are the same.
