The next morning.
The main members of the three major families arrived at the Feng family's front hall early.
Yu Jinshu and Jun Shabai sat in the main seats.
On this day, Yu Jinshu wore a clean and neat black tight-fitting dress with crane patterns on the sword-shaped sleeves, a high ponytail, and slightly raised eyebrows. Combined with her increasingly delicate and beautiful face, she looked cool and neat, yet charming.
Several managers of the Feng family were responsible for handing over the laws of the Ancient Continent printed yesterday to the heads of the three major families.
Each family has three copies.
Jun Shabai's eyes darkened as he spoke, "Once this rule is released, the four major families must implement it and let all the people of the Ancient Divine Continent know about it. If anyone from the four major families violates this rule, they will be punished according to the law. And each of the four major families will arrange two hundred of the most advanced cultivators to establish the Ancient Divine Office."
Yu Jinshu took over the conversation, "The Feng family happens to have a large house on the main street, so they've converted it into the Divine Ancient Yamen. Two hundred cultivators from each of the four major families, a total of eight hundred cultivators, will report to the Divine Ancient Yamen tomorrow for training."
There are no government offices in the Ancient Divine Continent.
Here, the four major families are the government offices, and there is no fairness. Black and white are all decided by the four major families.
As for the evils committed by the four major families in the past, they are too numerous to count.
If you really count them, there are not many who can survive.
According to this situation, we can only ask them to mend their ways. If they can't, they will die.
The three major families, including the Feng family, all bowed respectfully in response.
They haven't looked at the regulations yet.
Yu Jinshu said: "Please take a look at the regulations!"
The people from the three major families gathered together to look through the laws of the Ancient Divine Continent.
When they saw the first one, their eyes widened.
"From now on, everyone is equal. Slaves will be changed into good citizens. To work for the Four Great Families, you must sign a labor contract, and your employer must pay you on time. The wages cannot be less than one ounce of silver per month."
"How can this be possible? For thousands of years, they have been slaves, living only for our four major families."
"Look, it also says that hired workers are not to be beaten, scolded, or insulted. If a worker is beaten or scolded, he or she has the right to appeal to the Shengu Yamen. If the Shengu Yamen abuses their power and bends the law to protect the four major families, they will be punished by 100 lashes and a fine of one year's wages."
"This slave can be killed, so why can't we even beat or scold him?"
"Yeah! How can we live like this?"
Yu Jinshu knew that they would protest, because every provision of these regulations infringed upon their interests, how could they be willing to accept that?
She said sternly, "From now on, there will be no more slaves, only hired laborers. Besides, you think your lives are hard after losing your slaves, but how did they live before, when they were abused and humiliated at will?"
A member of the Sima family said, "But they have lowly blood flowing in their bodies. They were born to be our slaves."
The fourth daughter of the Chang family also said, "Yes! They are lowly. How can they be on equal footing with us humans who were ordered by the gods to guard the Xuanfu Pagoda ten thousand years ago?"
As soon as these words came out, the head of the Chang family felt his head buzzing and slapped the fourth daughter in the face.
The girl was knocked to the ground, covering her swollen face and looking at the Chang family's patriarch aggrievedly: "Father, why did you hit me?"
The Patriarch of the Chang Family did not answer her, but knelt down before Jun Shabai, "Demon Lord, it's all my fault for not raising my daughter well. That's why I let her say such nonsense. I hope you won't blame her."
Jun Shabai stared at the fourth daughter of the Chang family with his devilish eyes and said coldly, "I heard that quite a few slaves died at your hands, and they were all young and strong men?"
The fourth daughter of the Chang family looked at Jun Shabai's murderous eyes, her skin tensed with fear, and she quickly shook her head: "No, it's not true."
Jun Sha Bai Leng said, "You just said that your four major families were ordered by the gods to guard the Xuanfu Pagoda. Because of this, you are superior to others in this ancient continent and can even bully and kill others at will."
The other half of the Chang family's fourth daughter's face flushed red as she shook her head repeatedly: "No, no."
Jun Shabai: "It seems that if it weren't for you four major families, I would have come out of Xuanfu Tower long ago."
When the four major families heard this, they all knelt down to express their submission.
The fourth daughter of the Chang family was so frightened that she could only shake her head.
Only now did she understand why her father slapped her, because she had spoken out of turn. The Demon Lord was here, but she actually respected the gods.
Jun Shabai chuckled. "Gods, demons, and humans, which of these three is the right path? The gods? But I was once a god. If it weren't for a few sinister villains in the gods, how could I have become a master?"
He paused, "If you humans are still the righteous path? Then why do you kill so freely in this world?"
Those kneeling lowered their heads, not daring to say a word or even breathe.
They were afraid that if the Demon Lord got angry, they would all turn into a bloody mist.
Not to mention that Sima Ankang was deposed, the fact that the blue smoke turned into blood mist frightened them.
They also heard that Feng Jie and Feng Tianmei, father and daughter, were both killed by the Demon Lord because they conspired to poison Yu Jinshu.
Now that the Demon Lord is here, why would he care about the gods?
Anyway, they have never seen anyone from the God Clan since they were born.
I haven't even seen the gods appear.
Jun Shabai looked at the fourth daughter of the Chang family, his eyes darkened, and then he heard the fourth daughter of the Chang family scream.
The head of the Chang family knelt down and supported his daughter, but found that she was not dead. However, he knew that his daughter's cultivation was completely wasted.
Jun Shabai said, "I do not wish to kill anyone today. This law will be implemented today. No one is allowed to challenge it. Anyone who dares to violate it will be punished according to the rules set out in the law. Either death or dethronement will be imposed. I will show no mercy."
He looked at Yu Jinshu, "From now on, Yu Jinshu is not only the head of the Feng family, she is also the head of the Shengu Yamen. All matters of the Yamen will be judged by her. Anyone who dares to disobey her will die!"
The last word shocked everyone kneeling below.
After he said that, he stood up and left.
Yu Jinshu asked all those who were kneeling to stand up.
He also ordered them to go back immediately and select two hundred people to receive training at the Shengu Yamen.
In addition, the four major families each printed one million copies of the "Laws of the Ancient Divine Continent" and distributed them to the people, making sure that every household knew these laws.
Also, after the three major families returned, they immediately arranged to pay the slaves a certain amount of wages, and then asked them to go to the Shengu Yamen to change their nationality.
If a slave wants to stay in his original family, he needs to sign a labor contract with the original family.
According to the regulations, the four major families must confiscate all the land they occupy and hand it over to the Shengu Yamen, which will then distribute these properties to the people who have been changed to good people.
Therefore, those who do not want to stay in their original family can go to the Shengu Yamen to apply for land contracting.
The people from the three major families went back, and each of them looked like they had lost half their life.
I am unwilling and unconvinced, but there is nothing I can do.
They felt that from now on, their good days were over.
