The First Saint of Dan Dao

Chapter 320 Heinous crime

There was a sharp gleam in Zhao Ru's eyes. Although he was in a high position and had spoiled his son, it did not mean that he was stupid. On the contrary, he was a very cautious person.

Do you have someone above you? Who else could be above you?

Most of the forces in Tingxiang have already joined the Zuo Xiang sect. And what kind of connections can you, a country bumpkin from Qinglong Courtyard, have in the Imperial City?

He immediately felt relieved and sneered, "Even if the emperor was here, he couldn't save you today."

"What? You mean, you don't even take the current emperor seriously? Zhao Ru, you are so bold that you actually want to commit treason! Minister Zhao is going to commit treason! Minister Zhao is going to rebel!" Tang Yan shouted at the top of his voice.

The strength of the Heavenly Rank added "momentum" to the sound, which went straight up to the sky and surged in all directions.

Minister Zhao is actually planning to rebel?

Some people who didn't know the situation here were stunned when they heard this, and they stopped what they were doing and rushed over here.

"Puff!" Zhao Ru looked at Tang Yan with an extremely unfriendly look. This kid always put a big hat on Tang Yan. Although the royal family is weak now, it does not mean that they are weak. If they are really forced to be charged with treason, it will be a big deal for the Zhao family.

"Catch him!" Zhao Ru shouted.

A figure, as fast as a ghost, grabbed towards Tang Yan.

Seventh level of heavenly rank!

Tang Yan showed a bitter smile, thinking that this old bastard was really giving him face by mobilizing a seventh-rank expert to capture a first-rank Heavenly Grade person.

The powerful aura locked him tightly, and this seemingly ordinary palm strike gave Tang Yan a feeling that there was no escape.

Before Tang Yan could move, a purple shadow immediately stood in front of him and slapped the man hard.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Ziyun quickly took a few steps back, his chest rising and falling rapidly, trying to calm the surging blood in his body.

The old man's expression also changed slightly, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Heavenly Rank Five!"

Ziyun did not reply, but looked at the old man in gray very seriously.

The seventh level of the Heavenly Rank was not something she could handle.

"Little girl, you can't protect him, so why waste your energy!" After a brief moment of surprise, the old man in gray smiled hoarsely and rushed up again.

Tang Yan's heart suddenly moved, and he saw a black shadow coming towards him in the blink of an eye.

"boom!"

After one move, Tang Yan was surprised to find that the old man in gray, who had been so arrogant just now, was actually knocked back by a palm from this mysterious man.

Tang Yan looked at the man in black. He had a white face and no beard, and his eyes were as deep as a ravine. Although his cultivation level was unclear, it was definitely higher than that of the old man in gray.

The Shangshu stared at the newcomer for a few seconds before he stepped forward and said, "It's Brother Ye. I wonder if Brother Ye knows this person?"

"I don't know him." The voice was brief but penetrating.

Zhao Ru was relieved after hearing this: "That's good. Brother Ye, please give way for a moment. This boy and my Zhao family have a deep blood feud. After today, I will come to thank you again."

The man in black, whom Zhao Ru called Brother Ye, had no expression on his face and did not move at all.

"I wonder what Brother Ye means?" Seeing that the man in black ignored him, Zhao Ru's tone was slightly unfriendly.

Tang Yan and Zi Yun looked at each other. Although they didn't understand what was going on, it seemed that there was no need to worry about the current situation.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived--" a sharp voice was heard, and there was a commotion all around.

Soon, several hundred people arrived here. The leader was none other than the current crown prince!

Seeing the person coming, Zhao Ru was startled and hurriedly bowed, "Zhao Ru greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Imperial Guards!" When the onlookers saw the people behind the prince, they all showed surprise on their faces.

The strength of the current Imperial City's Royal Guards has been shrinking, from tens of thousands of people at the beginning to only a few hundred people now, but the prestige of the Royal Guards has not diminished in the slightest.

One hundred imperial guards, each of them is of heavenly rank!

Zhao Ru's heart was beating wildly. The prince brought the imperial guards here. What could be the matter?

"Master Ji." The prince lowered his starry eyes and said in a low voice.

"Yes." An old man with long eyebrows walked out. Although he looked quite old, his aura was like a sharp sword that made people dare not look directly at him.

"Today, we received a report that the Zhao family was plotting a rebellion, so we sent someone to investigate the matter. The result left me dumbfounded!"

After saying that, he flipped his hand and a thick stack of papers appeared in his hand.

"In March eighteen years ago, the Zhao family embezzled tributes from various places to the royal family, including three hundred second-level pills, sixty third-level pills, and twenty fourth-level pills. There were countless medicinal herbs and countless silvers, with a total value of about 200 million taels of silver!"

"In May of the same year, Zhao Wu, a member of the Zhao family, killed three people from Wuliutang. According to the laws of our dynasty, warriors are not allowed to attack ordinary people. Not only did you not punish Zhao Wu, but you forcibly suppressed the incident!"

"In June of the same year, the Zhao family reported that Li Chen betrayed Tingxiang. After investigation by the royal family, it was found that Li Chen was a loyal member of Tingxiang. The so-called evidence provided by the Zhao family was fabricated out of thin air by the Zhao family, distorting the facts and harming the talents of Tingxiang!"

"In July of the same year..."

"Six years ago in April, Zhao Qian, the second young master of the Zhao family, molested the third young lady of Bai Jintang. The Bai family demanded an explanation, but was persecuted and their family was destroyed!"

"Six years ago in April, Zhao Qian, the second son of the Zhao family, molested Huang, a girl who was about to get married, and persecuted her fiancé, destroying his family. In the end, he forced Huang into prostitution and sold her to Honghuayuan!"

"Six years ago in April, Zhao Qian, the second son of the Zhao family, beat an old man who was selling things to death because he wanted to steal his goods."

"In April six years ago, Zhao Qian, the second young master of the Zhao family, heard that practicing with a baby's heart could help increase one's strength. He then forcibly gathered more than 300 newborn babies and brutally killed them. This was a heinous crime and he had absolutely no conscience!"

"Six years ago in May, the emperor ordered Minister Zhao to go to Tianxue Mountain to search for the magical medicine Tianxuelian. The amount he handed over was less than one-third of the actual amount he picked. After the royal family investigated, they found that nearly half of the amount went to the Left Prime Minister's Mansion. He deceived the emperor and disrespected the imperial power!"

"Six years ago in May, Zhao Qian, the second son of the Zhao family, lost 300 million taels of silver in a gambling house, and even used military pay to repay the gambling debt. This is a heinous crime!"

"Six years ago in May, Zhao Qian, the second young master of the Zhao family..."

"..."

"Four years ago in September, Zhao Qian, the second son of the Zhao family, spoke nonsense in a restaurant and openly insulted the royal family. There is no smoke without fire. It seems that the Zhao family had no loyalty to the royal family at that time!"

"four years ago……"

As Master Ji's voice gradually spread, everyone's expressions changed again and again.

He was a minister, but he did all kinds of unscrupulous things and treated the lives of more than 300 babies as worthless. In the end, no one cared!

As long as the Zhao family is not destroyed, where will the wronged souls rest?

Master Ji's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Zhao Ru's heart word by word: "Zhao Ru, the emperor treated you well in the past and entrusted you with important tasks. I hope you can benefit the people of Tingxiang.

As a result, you hold power, but you do all kinds of evil just to satisfy your own selfish desires! You are simply full of evil, your crimes are heinous, and you are hated by both humans and gods!

If I don't execute him today, Tingxiang will be defeated by you sooner or later!"
