The intelligence minister carefully organized the intelligence, tidied up his clothes and hairstyle, and then hurried towards the palace.
At this time, night slowly fell and the sky became darker. He looked up at the sky and couldn't help but quicken his pace.
Along the way, he passed through palace gates one after another, passed by teams of court knights, and finally arrived at the throne room, where he saw Martin who was busy reviewing memorials.
As soon as he stepped into the hall, Martin keenly noticed someone coming in. Without even looking up, he asked directly, "How is it? Have you checked it out?"
The Minister of Intelligence quickly responded respectfully, "Your Majesty, I have investigated everything thoroughly."
As he spoke, he presented the intelligence with both hands. Martin waved his hand slightly, and the intelligence fell steadily into his hands as if pulled by an invisible force.
Martin quickly unfolded the information and began to read it carefully. For a moment, the hall was so quiet that only the sound of shuffling papers could be heard.
After reading the intelligence, Martin gently put it aside and looked at the Minister of Intelligence.
He said slowly, "You must have had some opinions on this matter before you came. I would like to hear your views."
The intelligence chief thought for a moment and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, we can temporarily let the marquis in the imperial capital go, and arrest all the other relevant personnel."
"This is to 'kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.' As for those officials who accepted bribes, they will all be dismissed from office."
After hearing this, Martin's mouth curled up slightly and he laughed softly: "You are very clear-minded and understand what I mean. But you are pretending to be stupid. Okay, I won't embarrass you anymore. You can leave now."
Upon hearing this, the Minister of Intelligence secretly breathed a sigh of relief, quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead, saluted respectfully, and then slowly retreated.
As soon as the Minister of Intelligence left, the smile on Martin's face disappeared instantly.
He immediately contacted the Second Legion stationed near the imperial capital in his mind.
He gave the order directly to the legion commander: "Immediately lead the legion into the imperial capital, block all traffic arteries, close the city gates, and completely surround the estates of Marquis Coda and Count Chadela. Don't let anyone escape!"
At the same time, Martin gave Long Ying another order: "Immediately head to the coastline area and arrest those corrupt officials and the viscount's family. Then escort them to the imperial capital."
Martin already had a comprehensive plan in mind. He planned to conduct a comprehensive live broadcast so that everyone in the empire could clearly see his determination to crack down on corruption and maintain order in the empire.
After Martin arranged everything, he called the court magician team.
He explained his plan in detail to the magicians and asked them to use magical imaging technology.
The entire arrest process and subsequent trial scenes were clearly displayed on the magic crystal screens in the squares of various cities in the empire.
After receiving the order, the magicians quickly began to prepare, mixing magic potions, setting up image transmission arrays, and were very busy.
After receiving the order, the Second Legion quickly marched towards the imperial capital like a torrent of steel.
The legion commander rode on a tall horse with a serious expression, constantly urging the knights to speed up their march.
After arriving at the imperial capital, the knights quickly dispersed and blocked all traffic arteries according to the predetermined plan.
The city gate slowly closed, and the heavy iron door made a dull sound, as if announcing that the judgment of the corrupt was about to begin.
At the same time, members of Dragon Shadow shuttled through the coastline area like ghosts.
They moved swiftly and quietly, approaching the residences of the bribed officials and the estates of the viscount's family.
Under the cover of night, the Dragon Shadow members quickly subdued the guards, rushed into the mansion and estate, and captured the relevant personnel one by one.
The entire arrest process was clean and neat, without causing much noise.
Marquis Coda and Count Chadela were leisurely enjoying fine wine in the manor, unaware of the approaching danger.
When the Second Legion surrounded their manor, the two men thought the knights were conducting military exercises.
It was not until the legion commander broke in with a team of knights that they woke up from their dream.
Marquis Coda's face turned pale in an instant, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground with a "click" and shattered.
Earl Chadla was also panicked and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"What are you doing? How dare you trespass into my manor!" Marquis Koda pretended to be calm and shouted loudly.
The legion commander sneered, stepped forward, and said bluntly, "Marquis Coda, Earl Chadela, your crimes have been exposed. His Majesty has ordered your immediate arrest!"
The two men wanted to argue, but when they saw the knights' cold eyes and the shining weapons in their hands, they immediately lost their courage and surrendered obediently.
With the successful completion of arrest operations in various places, the arrested persons were escorted to the imperial capital one after another.
Martin stood on the newly built platform in the center of the imperial capital, overlooking the people who were escorted in, his eyes full of majesty and anger.
"As nobles and officials of the empire, you should set an example and work for the well-being of the empire and its people. Instead, you commit such a heinous act for your own selfish gain!"
"Today, I will show everyone in the empire that anyone who attempts to harm the interests of the empire and the people will be severely punished!"
Martin's voice echoed all around, and every word was like a heavy hammer, striking everyone's heart.
Soon, the magic imaging technology was ready and the full live broadcast officially began.
In the squares of various cities in the empire, magic crystal screens lit up one after another, and the image of Martin standing on a high platform appeared on the screen.
A large number of people gathered in the square, all looking up at the screen with surprise and anger on their faces.
Martin began to read out the crimes of these people in public, and each crime made the people indignant.
When Martin finished reading, waves of angry roars rang out in the square: "Punish the corrupt officials! Punish the corrupt nobles!"
"Now, I declare that Earl Chadela, the relevant corrupt officials, and the Viscount's family will be immediately stripped of their noble status and official positions, all their property will be confiscated, and they will be demoted to commoners! As for the Marquis of Coda..."
Martin paused deliberately and glanced at the people below the stage. The entire throne room and even the squares of the empire fell silent, as everyone was waiting for his verdict.
"Given the severity of Marquis Koda's crimes and his role as the mastermind behind the cover-up, the Koda family will be exterminated as a warning to others!"
Martin's voice was firm and powerful, and it spread to every corner of the empire through magical images.
The people in the square responded to the verdict with warm applause and cheers. They felt Martin's determination to fight corruption and maintain fairness and justice in the empire.
This comprehensive live broadcast also became an important event in the history of the empire, making all nobles and officials feel awe and no longer dare to break the law easily.
