Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

"Madam! Something terrible has happened! The Li Mansion has been surrounded by the Imperial Guards!"

The butler crawled into the main hall and reported to Madam Li in panic.

Madam Li was so frightened that her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.

The servant girl beside her quickly supported her.

"Help me out and take a look!"

As the mistress of the family, no matter how scared she was, she had to force herself to take charge of the situation.

Otherwise, when the old man comes back and finds out that she did nothing, he will definitely not let her go.

When she trembled to the second gate, she saw her own servants, with weapons in hand, confronting the imperial guards who had rushed in with a look of panic on their faces.

The general leading the imperial guards was Taoist Master Hui'an, whom she was quite familiar with.

Her face was as cold as frost. She looked at everyone and said loudly:

"According to the order of the God, all the property of the Li family is confiscated, but anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"

When Madam Li heard the word "search and confiscate", she was both afraid and angry, and said in a weak tone:

"My old man is a second-rank official in the imperial court. Without the emperor's decree, no one can confiscate the Li family!"

Hui'an looked proud:

"The words of the God are now the imperial decree in Nandu!"

Madam Li had no choice but to place her hopes on the servants of the Li family and quickly gave them an order:

"Stop them! When the old man comes back, he will reward you handsomely!"

Hui An sneered when he heard this:

"Li Binyuan was corrupt and committed many evil deeds. He was beheaded in public by the God three days ago as a warning to others! If anyone wants to work for the Li family, come on. The thousands of imperial guards led by this general will immediately send you to the underworld to continue serving him!"

Upon hearing this, the servants immediately showed fear and hesitation on their faces.

To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. Once the leader is dead, the people below will naturally lose their morale.

Li Gengyuan was a second-rank official and the backbone and banner of the entire Li family. When he fell, no one punished or rewarded them anymore, and the servants naturally lost the motivation to work for him.

"I'll give you three breaths to put down your weapons and surrender. Once you're done, I'll kill you all!"

"one!"

As the first count sounded, there was a sudden clatter of weapons being thrown around in the yard.

After three counts, no one resisted anymore.

Madam Li looked at the scene before her and finally collapsed to the ground trembling.

The old man is dead, the military power has been taken away, the Li family is finished!

Hui An continued to give orders:

"Take all the masters of the Li family to the yard and put them in the prison to await trial later! Any slaves who show resistance will be considered as colluding with the criminals and will be tied up and thrown into the prison!"

This is the distinction between masters and servants.

For masters like the Li family who never take the lives of their servants seriously, how can their servants be loyal to them at critical moments?

Not long after, dozens of masters of the Li family, both big and small, were escorted to the courtyard and tied up.

When the servants saw that the imperial guards did not seem to have any intention of touching them, they all secretly said in their hearts, "The God is wise." Some even stood aside and watched the fun.

Box after box of gold, silver and treasures were carried out from the Li family’s warehouse.

Seeing that even her dowry was carried out, Mrs. Li finally came to her senses and began to shout for mercy:

"Master Hui'an! We in the Li family are all devout believers of the Cihang Temple. We are loyal to the God. Please let us go!"

"Please, for the sake of our past friendship, ask the God to let the Li family go!"

At this moment, she realized that the current Lord Du'e was the emperor of Nandu City.

The order to confiscate property that she issued was as terrifying as that of a real emperor.

This is the nightmare of all officials’ families.

Thinking of the consequences of having her property confiscated and being sent to prison, Mrs. Li no longer cared about her face and cried for mercy in public.

However, the Li family had committed many evil deeds and had long been on Chen Qingzhu's kill list. How could there be any room for them to turn around?

Hui An said mercilessly:

"Cihang Temple does not have devout believers like your Li family who oppress the people and commit many evil deeds!"

"God punishes evil and promotes good, and upholds justice for the people. The Li family must die! Come, gag her and take her to the prison to await trial!"

The powerful Li family, which had dominated Nandu for many years, collapsed just like that.

Nearly one million worth of property accumulated in his mansion over the years was also continuously deposited into the Ministry of Revenue's treasury.

There were more than twenty other powerful and wealthy families whose properties were confiscated like the Li family.

Not all of these powerful families can compare to the wealth of the Li family, but they can all be said to have abundant wealth.

After a few days of continuous house searches, the Ministry of Revenue's treasury in Nando, which had not been full for hundreds of years, was now fuller than ever before.

The amount of property confiscated in a few days amounted to more than 10 million taels, almost equal to four-fifths of the annual tax revenue of the Wei Dynasty.

Moreover, Chen Qingzhu's new policy had just been established, and the number of people he needed to support was only one-tenth of that of the Wei court.

She is much richer than the imperial court.

Moreover, these powerful families have collected a lot of top-grade jade, the total of which is more than twice the treasury of Emperor Yong'an.

By this calculation, she had enough spiritual energy to cultivate to the middle stage of foundation building.

What she gained was not only wealth, but also popularity.

Yan Yun was worthy of the title of genius top scholar, or perhaps it was because he had the assistance of Yan Qingzhi, a veteran official, behind him, he made considerable achievements after taking office in the Dali Temple.

By the time the house search was over, he had already collected seven or eight charges against the main culprit, the Li family, including evidence of hundreds of murders committed by all the masters of the Li family.

Chen Qingzhu announced the charges without hesitation and pronounced a verdict that all the masters of the Li family involved in the homicide cases would be paraded through the streets three days later and then sentenced to death.

As for the rest, all the innocent ones were released, and the guilty ones were judged according to the law, those who deserved to be imprisoned were imprisoned, and those who deserved to be flogged were flogged.

The Li family was originally the overlord of the Southern Capital City.

In the past, there were many cases of people forcibly abducting women, trampling civilians to death or injuring them on horseback in the streets, robbing other people's businesses and properties, and even causing families to be ruined.

In the garrison camp, many soldiers were starved and cold because of the Li family. Many of their family members were starved to death, and many died from the cold and the lack of money for medical treatment.

After seeing the announcement of the divine decree, many people cried for joy.

On the day when Li Jia was paraded through the streets for public execution, the streets were deserted.

When all the members of the Li family were taken to the execution ground, Chen Qingzhu once again appeared in a high-profile manner with her brilliant brilliance.

She used the art of sound transmission to make her voice heard throughout the venue:

"The Dali Temple is still investigating and punishing the crimes of the powerful in Nandu who abused the people and committed crimes."

"Today, I will personally sentence all the criminals of the Li family to death!"

"So that all officials in power will remember that there is a god above us. Those who abuse their power and oppress the people should be like the prisoners of the Li family, and be struck by lightning and never be able to be reborn!"

After saying that, she directly activated two lightning-inducing talismans.

A massive lightning bolt struck from nowhere, accompanied by a deafening roar. More than a dozen prisoners from the Li family, including Mrs. Li, died on the spot. Their bodies were charred black, leaving no trace of their human form.

The tens of thousands of onlookers in the audience were silent for a long time, and then burst into thunderous cheers.

Everyone's heart was filled with worship, respect and gratitude towards the God Du'e.

The Lord Du'e can draw thunder with his bare hands, he is so powerful.

But she would never tolerate the powerful oppressing the people.

Under her rule, the sky of Nandu will finally be clear!
