Chapter 403
Everything, just let nature take its course.
After a long time, the Shangguan family members were sent back to their mansion by the Imperial Guards, and there were also dedicated personnel standing guard to protect them. Their treatment could be said to be top-notch.
Not long after, Zhou Jian returned to the palace and directly issued a secret imperial edict to Shangguan Mansion.
Promulgated by Qingtianwei.
"Blessed by heaven, the emperor decreed!"
"The Huang Yangce case of the Shangguan family is of a vile nature. He deceived the world, sought fame and reputation, and committed a catastrophic disaster. His crime should be punished by the nine tribes!"
After hearing this, Shangguan Jingcheng, Shangguan Peng and other members of the family were all sick and trembling.
"But Shangguan Wan'er has helped me many times, showing mercy outside the law and not issuing a killing order. However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped!"
"Huangyang's book was confiscated immediately, and the Shangguan family informed the world and clarified the facts on their own."
"In addition, half of the family property will be confiscated. Shangguan Jingcheng will be the head of the family and will be punished with a fine of twenty. I will wait for the crime and meritorious service. I admire this!"
Hearing this, everyone in the Shangguan family broke out in cold sweat, collapsed on the ground, and let out a long breath.
I finally escaped, at least I didn’t have to be punished by the nine tribes!
Although it is an exaggeration to take away half of the family property, it is simply insignificant compared with the ruin of the official family.
Twenty years of treatment is not too harsh, and it will heal after just over a month of lying down.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!" Shangguan Jingcheng burst into tears. His hair has turned a lot gray these days, but now he is finally relieved.
"I would like to thank you for your kindness. Long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty."
"From now on, I, Shangguan Peng, will definitely follow His Majesty's lead and swear allegiance to the death!"
Voices of gratitude echoed through Shangguan Mansion for a long time.
Everyone knows that Zhou Jian's words of "explaining it to the world on his own" are considered asylum. If the Shangguan family clarifies, it is ten thousand times better than having the incident exposed.
Everything is within the reach of the Shangguan family!
Since then, Zhou Jian has recovered the two major literary giant families in Jingzhou. This is a big help. After all, there are many literati in the world and they occupy greater resources and important positions.
Zhou Jian gained a lot from this move!
"When the decree is brought, I will leave."
"Master of the Shangguan family, remember to go to the Ministry of Punishment to receive your punishment." Guan Shantiansheng said coldly, then held his hands in his hands, saluted Shangguan Wan'er, and led the others away.
It was this gift that made Shangguan Jingcheng, Shangguan Peng and others' eyes widen and they kept thinking.
Qingtian Prison, who holds the palm of his hand whether he is alive or dead, respects Wan'er so much. This shows that His Majesty's attitude towards Wan'er, and that everything His Majesty did just now was all for Wan'er's face!
"Wan'er, what's your relationship with His Majesty?" Shangguan Jingcheng hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice, with a sparkle in his eyes.
After offending King Qing to death, who didn't want to hug Zhou Jian's thigh tightly, so he asked this question.
"Jun Chen, friend." Shangguan Wan'er's beautiful eyes twinkled slightly. In fact, she couldn't tell. The scene of Zhou Jian tearing off her sling and kissing her that day flashed through her mind. Her delicate body softened and her heartbeat was numb.
"Wan'er, isn't it? Your Majesty obviously has other intentions for you." Shangguanpeng stepped forward and narrowed his eyes seriously.
Shangguan Wan'er was panicked, frowned fiercely, and said angrily: "Father, second uncle, you should take good care of yourselves. What you have done is too unethical!"
"Looking for fame and reputation is an understatement. We must make atonement for our sins. Although His Majesty only punishes us in this way, we cannot only atone and repay our sins like this!"
