Chapter 286: Cutting Weeds and Removing Roots

Wuqing looked at the bloody Qin Gui in front of her, her great revenge avenged, and felt her thoughts clear. She actually advanced from the Innate Peak to become a Grandmaster.

Lin Fan nodded. Qin Gui could be considered to have died in his place; he had some value.

Then Lin Fan walked slowly toward the Prime Minister's mansion, because at this time Zhao Gou was standing at the entrance of the Prime Minister's mansion, so he thought Lin Fan was coming for him.

"Huang Lao, protect me! This Lin Fan has gone crazy; he is rebellious and wants to kill the monarch!"

He had been scared enough when he saw Qin Gui being sliced, because he also had a part in the Sheng Ding-tian family extermination case, so he was very guilty. Seeing Lin Fan walk over, he couldn't help but shout in panic.

However, Huang Shang didn't move, because he felt that Lin Fan had no killing intent toward Zhao Gou. And even if Lin Fan wanted to do it, he couldn't stop him. He had originally thought that by risking his old bones, he could trade his life for Lin Fan's injury, but now it seemed he was just a frog in a well.

Lin Fan indeed didn't kill Zhao Gou, just found him in the way and pushed him aside. Zhao Gou fell on his butt, and just as he wanted to curse, he saw the look Lin Fan threw at him and instantly became as silent as a cicada in winter.

Watching Lin Fan walk toward the Prime Minister's mansion, everyone understood that Lin Fan was prepared to complete what he had said before: to wipe out Qin Gui's entire household.

"Lin Fan, the chief culprit has been executed. Better not implicate innocent women and children!"

Zhuge Zhengwo still couldn't bear it, so he tried to persuade him.

"When you wiped out families, why didn't you think about innocent women and children? Eight Great Honest Officials—seven families, over a hundred lives were harmed by Qin Gui. If Iron Hand hadn't been soft-hearted, wouldn't Wuqing's family have been wiped out too? Just because Qin Gui is the Prime Minister, he can wipe out families if he wants? Zhao Gou is the Emperor, so he can order the extermination of a family if he says so?"

"Qin Gui's family all enjoyed the power and status brought by Qin Gui's evil deeds, so they are guilty with him! Let alone them, even if it were a mouse or an ant living in this Prime Minister's mansion, they still enjoyed the people's fat and blood, so they still have to pay the price!"

After Lin Fan finished speaking, Zhuge Zhengwo was speechless. Although he went to stop the action instead of participating in Wuqing's family case.

But he had also accepted the Emperor's orders to participate in several family extermination cases. At that time, they didn't show mercy because of women and children. After all, the Emperor said to kill the whole family, and they didn't dare to discount it.
