" System, receive the mission reward."
Shangguan Lin whispered in his heart.
"Ding! Detected that the host has completed the task of eliminating Imperial Noble Consort Li. The reward is being distributed.”
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining Sword Saint Ge Nia (Peak Grandmaster), 1000 Shadow Secret Guards, and Sword Mastery (Hundred Steps Flying Sword).”
"The background of the Sword Saint has been implanted. He is the swordsmanship teacher of the host when he was the Crown Prince. He is currently in seclusion.”
"The background of 1000 Shadow Secret Guards has been implanted. They are scattered and hidden among the Imperial Army and Imperial Guards.”
Shangguan Lin smiled faintly when he saw the mission reward.
Just Sword Saint Ge Nia alone could be considered a great harvest.
Not to mention, there was also the vertical sword technique of the horizontal sword technique.
A surge of memories surged into Shangguan Lin's mind out of nowhere, causing his head to ache.
These memories were all related to the vertical sword technique.
It contained the secret manual of the vertical sword technique, many difficult tricks, and Ge Nia's cultivation experience and insights.
Shangguan Lin walked to the bed in the royal study, sat cross-legged, and concentrated.
Vigorous internal strength flowed through his meridians, causing the pain in his head to slowly subside.
Shangguan Lin was digesting the memories in his mind.
As time passed, the memories gradually merged with Shangguan Lin.
Shangguan Lin also gained more than ten years of sword practice experience out of nowhere.
With the Tianwen Sword in his hand, Shangguan Lin jumped up from the bed and began practicing his swordsmanship in the royal study.
Every move, every strike, every stab, he was as steady as Mount Tai.
Thanks to the System's teachings, Shangguan Lin's understanding of the Versatile Sword Technique had reached the peak of perfection.
It was as if he had trained hard for more than ten years. There was no sense of discord.
Shangguan Lin was even able to use the Hundred-step Flying Sword, the highest technique of the vertical sword technique, without any hindrance.
............
Twenty-six officials in the Imperial City had their houses confiscated. This matter shook the entire Imperial City.
The prison of the Ministry of Justice, the prison of the Supreme Court, and the prison of the East Hall were all filled with prisoners.
Han Fei, the new Minister of Justice, Zhuo Dongran, and Cao Zhengchun, the supervisor of the East Chamber, interrogated him together.
Some use scheming, some use criminal law, each use their own methods.
They investigated the dealings between the officials and the whereabouts of the stolen money.
During the interrogation, a large number of people would be killed every day.
If an official investigated, it meant that the entire family would be implicated. The entire Imperial City was filled with the smell of blood.
Shangguan Lin issued an edict to post the crimes of the officials in the Imperial City and announce them to the world.
Because of this action, Shangguan Lin's wanton massacre did not arouse the disgust of the people. Instead, he was praised by the people as a prosperous and wise ruler.
In the eyes of the people, corrupt officials were the people they hated the most.
Shangguan Lin killed the corrupt officials as soon as he ascended the throne, and the people naturally applauded.
Shangguan Lin also took the opportunity to gain the hearts of the people.
Not only that, but they also eliminated 26 big corrupt officials and nearly 100 small corrupt officials at once. The gold and silver seized filled the national treasury and the emperor's private treasury.
Shangguan Lin didn't need to worry about running out of money for many things.
......
"Your Majesty, Lord Han Fei, the Minister of Justice, requests an audience.”
In the Gaudy Palace, Shangguan Lin was practicing calligraphy when the eunuch Wang Wen came to report.
"Call him in."
Shangguan Lin didn't raise his head. He continued to splash the ink wantonly with his brush.
Practicing calligraphy helped to calm one's mind and cultivate one's qi.
As an emperor, he should not show his emotions and hide his thoughts so that others could not see the depth.
Shangguan Lin had liked to write when he was the Crown Prince, and now that he was the Emperor, he had not changed this habit.
Although he was only eighteen years old, his handwriting already had a hint of the style of a master.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!”
"Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"My dear minister, why are you here today?”
Han Fei bowed with both hands and said respectfully, Chief Li Wenbo wants to see Your Majesty.”
"Hmm?"
Shangguan Lin stopped writing and looked up at Han Fei.
"What else does he want to say?"
"I don't know."
Han Fei shook his head and said in a deep voice, He said that he had a top-secret message to tell Your Majesty before he died.”
"He hoped that with this information, he could save the last trace of the Li Clan's bloodline and keep his three-year-old grandson alive.”
Shangguan Lin continued writing and said softly,""Can't you interrogate him?"
Han Fei shook his head." He has already told us that he was corrupt and bribed, but he refused to reveal anything about this matter no matter how hard we tortured him.”
"I guess that the top secret information he said should be true. Your Majesty, why don't you meet him?”
"This old thing is quite tough.”
Shangguan Lin put down his brush and smiled coldly." In that case, I'll go and see him."”
............
In the prison of the Ministry of Justice, prisoners covered in wounds were locked up in the cell, dying.
Shangguan Lin came to one of the cells. The person locked inside was Chief Assistant Li Wenbo.
Li Wenbo had also been tortured. His clothes were stained with blood, his hair was disheveled, and there was not a single piece of flesh on his body.
It was hard to imagine how an old man without martial arts could grit his teeth and not say anything.
"Li Wenbo, zhen is here. Say whatever you want to say.”
Li Wenbo raised his head with difficulty. When he saw Shangguan Lin, his eyes lit up.
He said in a hoarse voice,"I can say yes. I beg Your Majesty to be merciful and spare the last trace of the Li Clan's bloodline."”
"The criminal's youngest grandson is only three years old. He's only learning how to speak and doesn't know anything. He won't pose a threat to His Majesty.”
Shangguan Lin didn't comment and said softly,""If you want to save your life, it depends on whether the information you say is valuable.”
Li Wenbo looked around and said with a solemn expression,""This information is top secret. Your Majesty, please dismiss your subordinates.”
