Peerless Taoist

"What does Your Majesty want to do?"    

"Even if he is a trusted aide... this promotion is too fast. Even when the South Emperor promoted Xu Tiangang back then, it was not so fast."    

Many people did not dare to criticize Lu Yu in front of him, but they only dared to discuss in private.    

These news had also spread to Lu Yu's ears through various channels, but he didn't pay any attention to it.    

His attention was completely focused on the process of setting up the world. What the yellow dog said was right. The future was full of obstacles, but the only thing that could be done was to press forward with indomitable will. Only then could he look down on everything. Furthermore, Wen Sheng and the two demon Daolord were willing to be his backer. Lu Yu didn't think that he was alone.    

Under Lu Yu's instructions, Li Si started to settle the score with the Xu Family.    

First, the Xu family would be convicted of the crimes they had committed.    

Second, all the land and property of the Xu Family in the Imperial Capital were confiscated.    

Under Li Si's request, the Tribunal's trial was carried out in a huge hall. Over a thousand people were invited to watch the scene, including the officials selected by the Tribunal for the trial.    

In the past, the trial would usually only be carried out in the yamen. Outsiders could only watch from afar and could not see the situation inside clearly.    

But now, the Tribunal had actually specially set up a jury seat in the hall, allowing everyone to watch the entire trial from a close distance. This was truly an eye-opener.    

On the day of the trial, over a million people signed up. Finally, under the government's audit, over a thousand people were selected to participate in the jury trial.    

The Imperial Court guaranteed to the world that the record of the trial on that day would be recorded with a crystal ball and sent to all directions for exhibition.    

There were many members of the Xu Family, and the trial was only carried out for the imprisoned members of the Xu Family.    

An eight hour long trial, everyone's eyes were fixed on it.    

Among these cases, there were two that were extremely controversial.    

One of the Xu family's generals with outstanding achievements had once loved his subordinates and cared for the common people. He was extremely popular among the soldiers. However, it was this person who was sentenced to exile because of selling his official title.    

As for the other member of the Xu family, he was Xu Tiangang's cousin, but because he did not commit any crimes, he was not guilty and was released.    

When the two incidents were spread, it immediately caused a sensation in the Imperial Capital and even the entire Heaven Realm.    

"Since ancient times, it was common for emperors to kill nine generations of their family members, but why did they release the Xu Clan? Since ancient times, it was common for emperors to kill nine generations of their family members, but why did they release the Xu Clan?"    

"All trials are carried out according to the law. It seems that this Emperor is destined to push the Fa Family to the front of the stage."    

Following the announcement of the crystal ball, this type of trial method was also promoted by the world.    

Compared to the matter of public trials, another matter truly caused a sensation in the entire Heaven Realm.    

Everyone saw countless officials rush into the Xu family's mansion and start to raid their houses.    

It continued for five days before they were only able to calculate the Xu Clan's property. The Xu Clan's property in the Imperial Capital was even more shocking.    

That was the total tax that Great Yu had paid for the past two years at its peak!    

This was only the wealth that the Xu Clan had left in the imperial capital. Before this, the Xu Clan had transferred most of their property.    

Everyone was secretly shocked. As expected, the Xu Clan was a colossal entity, an existence that was as rich as a country.    

Lu Yu ordered people to deposit all their wealth into the national treasury. At the same time, he asked the Xu Family to select a new Family Head to announce their loyalty to the Imperial Court.
