"Your Majesty, I am Bao Zheng from the Inspectorate. May your Majesty live forever."

"Your Majesty, long live your Majesty."

"..."

Bao Zheng, Qiao Feng, and the King's Uncle, who came hurriedly, straightened their clothes and bowed.

"Everyone, get up."

"Uncle, there is no need to be so polite." Shen Yuanliang raised his hand to help the uncle up, and then instructed the palace maid beside him: "Move three stools over."

After everyone sat down, Shen Yuanliang looked very sad: "One earl, three viscounts, and fifteen barons turned themselves into zombie bodies that were neither human nor ghost."

"Zombies feed on human blood. In just a few thousand years, they have forgotten their original purpose and become corrupt and degenerate. This will not do! They must be killed!"

If zombies were really allowed to spread in Daqian, it wouldn't take long before the entire Daqian Immortal Court would be destroyed. Whether it was to make an example of someone or for the sake of the people of the Immortal Court, a storm was inevitable.

"Your Majesty, the transformation of humans into zombies is an unforgivable crime. Please punish me severely!"

Bao Zheng, a slightly plump man with a crescent birthmark on his forehead, hated evil and was particularly disgusted by those nobles who had expelled him from the community. He felt a deep disgust at that.

Corrupt officials only harm the people in a city or a place, but these "people" who forget their ancestors harm the foundation of the human race.

Even in the vast ancient world, compared with the huge number of human beings, the number of people who can become immortals is ultimately a minority. Talent, opportunity, luck, etc. are all indispensable.

If everyone follows suit and throws themselves into the arms of the zombie kingdom when their lifespan is about to end, it will undoubtedly be a huge disaster for the human race!

A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest!
For the sake of the people, for the sake of Daqian, and for the sake of mankind, the zombies that are causing harm must be eradicated!

"Bao Zheng, you will be in charge of the execution and execute them according to the law."

After that, Shen Yuanliang wrote the imperial edict and handed it to Bao Zheng, the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Inspectorate. Every stroke of his pen was filled with murderous intent, which made people shudder.

"I will obey His Majesty's will."

Holding the heavy imperial edict in both hands, Bao Zheng slowly stepped back at Shen Yuanliang's signal.

After taking a sip of tea, Shen Yuanliang continued, "Some people say that when you find a cockroach, there are countless cockroaches in your home."

"In order to live longer, they choose to sell their souls and sell out the top-secret information of the Immortal Court. There must be many such people, hiding among the nobles and the ranks of civil and military officials."

"For this reason, I have decided to set up an anti-corruption office. Uncle, you will be in charge, and the Zhenwu Division will assist you."

In a dynasty, anti-corruption and promoting integrity run through the entire dynasty. In the past, it was supervised by the Inspectorate. However, Daqian was too large to be supervised.

Shen Yuanliang set up the Independent Commission Against Corruption, which was like a sword hanging over everyone's head, ready to launch an anti-corruption storm from time to time, purify the officialdom, and catch as many black sheep as possible.

Uncle Guo's Mansion.

The Duke's wife, Princess Mingyue Chen Rongrong, who had hurried over from the Duke Ding's mansion, asked anxiously, "Father, what does my cousin want to talk to you about? Is there something wrong?"

Thinking of the thousands of imperial guards surrounding the Prince's Mansion when she first entered the palace, Chen Rongrong felt a surge of panic.

Shen Man, Shitou's son, asked immediately, "Yes, uncle, if there is anything, let's discuss it together. If that doesn't work, I will ask His Majesty for a favor."

"it's okay no problem."

Sitting upright on the imperial chair, the uncle-in-law Chen Qingwen waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty has entrusted me with an important task and appointed me as the Director of the Independent Commission Against Corruption."

"ICAC?" After hearing these words, Chen Rongrong calmed down and said, "Is integrity related to the administration of officials? This is something that will offend people. No one in the court will like it."

"Why did my cousin let you become the director? Can't someone else be appointed?" When it comes to the administration of officials, almost everyone who did this in history did not have a good ending, including Zhang Tang and Zhi Du in the Han Dynasty, Yao Chong and Song Jing in the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng in the Ming Dynasty and so on.

"This position is not something that ordinary people can hold firmly."

Twirling his beard, Uncle Chen Qingwen continued, "As the uncle of the current dynasty, I have a noble status and can suppress dignitaries. In addition, with my relationship with His Majesty, it is not a problem for me to retreat unscathed."

Upon hearing this, the Prince's Mansion fell silent.

Heaven Prison.

One of the most important prisons in the Immortal Court, the prisoners held there are basically those who have committed heinous crimes, or they are nobles, relatives of the royal family, civil and military ministers. Ordinary people are not qualified.

It is located at the foot of the imperial city, thousands of feet underground. It is made entirely of solid obsidian. Together with the mechanisms set up by the Yanjia Academy and various complex formations, it is unbreakable.

For thousands of years, there has never been a case of a prisoner escaping from prison.

“It’s unfair, it’s unfair!”

"Oh! What should I do? Collaboration with the enemy and treason is a serious crime that will punish all nine generations of my family. Why am I so unlucky? You old fool, why don't you just die?"

"Your Majesty, I want to report it, I want to expose it, and make merit to atone for my sins."

The railings made of deep-sea iron exude a chilling coldness. Many prisoners cry for their parents, and all kinds of life situations are played out here.

"Quiet, quiet."

The guards of the prison waved their whips, making a "crackling" sound. When everyone quieted down, the leading officer Zhang Yaozu said coldly: "Earl Jiang Qiming of Liyang, Viscount Zhao Qianshan of Jiangxia..."

The names of those who had shocked the world in the past echoed throughout the Heavenly Prison, like the King of Hell taking souls away, and a great fear surged into people's hearts.

The reason they turned into zombies was because they were afraid of death. Now their names were called out one by one, as if they were going to be executed. Many of the prisoners' family members had dazed eyes, and some even wet their pants, revealing their ugly appearance.

"…collaborating with the enemy and treason, ignoring the grace of the emperor, shall be immediately expelled from the human race and executed."

"The family members of the offending officials shall be exiled to the border areas to atone for their crimes."

Holding the imperial edict in both hands, the inspector Zhang Yaozu looked around and said coldly, "This is the grace of His Majesty. Why don't you kowtow and thank him?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

"Your Majesty's kindness is so great that I cannot repay you. I will pray for you and the Immortal Court every day."

When they suddenly heard that they would not have to die, they cried for joy and were filled with emotion. Their gratitude to the Green Emperor Shen Yuanliang was like a surging river, endless.

You have to know that this is a serious crime of treason, and exiling them to the border is equivalent to letting them off the hook. Throughout the dynasties, generally all male members of the three clans would be beheaded, and the female members would be exiled to the Jiaofangsi.

vegetable market.

"Humans and zombies cannot coexist."

Bao Zheng, dressed in a scarlet robe, looked at the huge crowd below the stage with a serious expression: "Whoever colluded with the enemy and betrayed his race, and transformed the human body into a zombie body, this will be the end."

He looked up at the sky. The warm sunshine filled the Qingdi City. Bao Zheng said loudly: "It is three quarters after noon. Behead him. Behead..."

The executioner, who had been waiting for a long time, was vomiting strong liquor, and the big knife in his hand was wrapped with yellow talismans. With one cut, the iron-hard neck was split into two, and the smelly and dirty blood gushed out, and the head rolled around.

The overcrowded prison was suddenly empty! (End of this chapter)
