"Our Feng family can give you money and treasures, including property and land, but please promise me not to kill anyone from the Feng family at will." said the old Feng priest.
"I can't just agree to this. If someone from the Feng family comes to kill me, won't I be able to fight back?" Wang Xiaohai said.
"I'm talking about killing them at will. I mean, if they haven't offended you, please don't kill them." Old Feng said, "If they have offended you, you can kill them at will, I have no objection. But if you take away all the Feng family's property, they will only be able to save their lives, but will be penniless. They will have no money to do bad things in the future."
Wang Xiaohai thought: "As long as the old priest is here, even if the Feng family is penniless, they can still make a comeback and continue to rule this country in darkness."
The old priest obviously saw Wang Xiaohai's concerns and continued, "After I finish the job, I will commit suicide to apologize. This way, the Feng family will have no money and no backing, and will no longer be able to do evil."
The Feng family has offended too many people over the past few hundred years. If it weren't for the protection of the old priest, they would have been in a miserable state, but it would be better than being exterminated now.
"I promise."
The chief escort Feng that Wang Xiaohai brought this time was of no use. He originally thought that the old priest would deny it, so he asked chief escort Feng to come out and prove it. Unexpectedly, the old priest was also sensible and did not cheat and deny it.
"Come with me to the palace." Old Priest Feng said as he flew into the air and flew towards the capital of Min State. There was almost no red in his martial energy, like a red ink dropped into a glass of water, diluted.
Wang Xiaohai flew to the side of the old priest. His martial energy was as red as the morning sun and full of vitality, which was completely different from the old priest.
It took the two of them about half an hour to reach the palace. The main reason was that the old priest flew slowly. If Wang Xiaohai had flown at full speed, it would only have taken a few seconds.
At this moment, the Emperor of Min State was playing hide-and-seek with several palace maids in the Purple Palace of the Imperial Palace. He covered his eyes with a yellow cloth and waved his hands around.
"I've captured you! I'm going to make you a noble!" The Emperor of Ming hugged someone and pulled off the blindfold. "Ah—Father of the Nation, why is it you?"
The person that the Emperor of Min State was hugging was the old priest who had just entered the palace. Since the old priest Feng was assigned to Min State, every generation called him the father of the country and praised him for protecting Min State.
"Emperor, you are almost forty years old, no longer a child. How can you still act so recklessly?" the old attendant scolded. "You should also learn how to govern the country."
"Father, with your Feng family here, the country is peaceful and there is nothing to worry about." The Emperor of Ming said with a smile.
Although the family of the vassal kings was more powerful than the imperial family, they rarely became emperors themselves. The reason for this was that long ago, when the Beixing Continent first implemented the system of vassal kings protecting the country, many vassal kings wanted their descendants to become emperors. After all, everyone has selfish desires. However, upon the death of the vassal king, the country was quickly overthrown by the new emperor, and the old imperial family was executed by the Manchus, leaving no one alive. Later vassal kings learned from this lesson and chose not to become emperors or fight for the throne. Most of them made money by engaging in business. When an uprising destroyed the imperial family, they would turn to the new emperor. Although their power would certainly be greatly reduced, at least they would not be exterminated and their bloodline would continue.
"Emperor, I came here this time to ask you to do something for me." The old priest said in a heavy tone.
"Father, if you need me to do something, just give the order yourself!" The Emperor of Minguo asked in confusion, with his fat belly sticking out.
"Emperor, it is not convenient for me to do what I want you to do right now." The old priest touched the head of Emperor Minguo. The late emperor originally favored another smart prince, but the old priest thought that this child was naive and had no scheming, so he asked the late emperor to make him the crown prince. Now it seems that he is not naive, he is just stupid.
"What is it that is inconvenient for the Father to do?" The Emperor of Min opened his eyes. He couldn't figure out what it was, so he shook his head. He felt that he was too stupid.
"Emperor, please give an order for me to confiscate all the property of the Feng family. Don't leave a single ounce. Give it all to the inspector, and he will hand it over to Bai Yugong." The old priest still knew how to speak. Although the silver would eventually go into Wang Xiaohai's pocket, he couldn't say it clearly. He could only say that he would keep it temporarily and hand it over to Bai Yugong later.
"This..." The Emperor of Ming State dug his ears, as if he suspected he had misheard. "Father, are you ill? Why would you issue such an order? Don't you want your descendants anymore?"
"They have done too many wrong things. God will punish them. No one else can be blamed!" The old priest sighed.
"Who is the inspector? Why should we give him the money? Is it the young man behind you?" The Emperor of Min Kingdom was really stunned. He only realized now that Wang Xiaohai was standing behind the old priest. "He forced you to do this..." He wanted to say something else, but the old priest covered his mouth with his hand.
"Emperor, stop talking and don't be disrespectful to you, otherwise your entire clan will be exterminated!" the old priest threatened.
The Emperor of Ming shuddered when he heard this and dared not look in Wang Xiaohai's direction again.
"Father of the Nation, do you really want to do this?"
Old Priest Feng nodded and stopped talking. He thought that it was enough to say such cruel words once. He couldn't bear it if they were said too many times.
The Emperor of Min State seemed to have grown up a lot in an instant, his eyes became more solemn and mature: "I understand, I will go and announce the decree immediately."
"I will go with you. I'm afraid that if you go alone, many ministers and generals will think you are joking and disobeying orders," said the old priest.
The two of them walked towards the Council Hall together and ordered the eunuch to pass on the order, asking all ministers and generals to go to the Council Hall to discuss matters.
Wang Xiaohai followed the two men calmly, wondering if he had invisibly played the villain in a novel, where a righteous person would step out to fight him and save the Feng family and the Ming Kingdom! But stories are just stories, and the Feng family and the Ming Kingdom are not righteous and righteous. Could the emperor not know what the Feng family did? Don't think that just because he looks stupid, he is really stupid!
An hour later, all the ministers gathered in the council hall.
The emperor personally announced the imperial decree for this operation: "I have heard that the Feng family, a family of worshippers, has colluded with officials and businessmen, disregarding human life, engaging in malicious monopoly, and engaging in shady business practices. Their crimes are too numerous to list. After consultation with the Father of the Nation, I have decided to raid the Feng family, spare the lives of their members, and confiscate all their land and property. I order the Ministry of War and the Emperor's guards to dispatch and expedite the operation."
Upon hearing this, the ministers and generals did not shout "Long live the emperor" to accept the order. Instead, they looked at the old priest behind the emperor at the same time. Seeing the old priest nodded expressionlessly, they knelt down and kowtowed to accept the order.
When all the ministers and generals left the Council Hall, the old priest twisted his foot and almost fell. The Emperor of Min reached out and hugged the old priest, and both of them lost their balance and fell together.
