C1047 Trouble
3"This..." Yan Huan smiled bitterly. This was not giving him any chances!
The angel continued, "By the way, Gold King's seal should be in the prince's hands, right? Right now, the Jin State is under the control of the Third Highness. Without the seal, it is impossible."
"What? You still want to hand over the seal?" Yan Huan could no longer remain calm. This was a treasure seal passed down from generation to generation by the Yan Family, and it was also the symbol of the master of the Jin State. Once it was handed over, would the Jin State still be the Jin State of the Yan Family?
"Of course I have to hand over the seal!" The angel said unhappily, "The golden seal is the key to controlling the Fate Array. Since Third Highness wants to lead the Jin State, how can he give orders without the golden seal? How can we convince him? "
"But that is the Yan Family's ultimate treasure!" Yan Huan couldn't help but retort.
"What?! The Crown Prince wants to disobey the Emperor's imperial edict?" The angel's eyes turned cold. If Yan Huan dared to reply with any dissatisfaction, he could kill Yan Huan without any hesitation.
Yan Huan immediately cowered and said, "I don't dare. It's just that the golden seal is not in my hands. I can't hand it over even if I want to."
"What do you mean?"
Yan Huan replied, "Father entrusted all the trivial matters in the city to the butler before he left, and the golden seal is in charge of it."
"Where's the butler? Come out and take out the golden seal." The angel scanned the crowd and said sternly.
"The butler is not here, he has something to do and is going out."
"He has left?" The angel was stunned for a moment before coldly snorting: "Is there anything more important than welcoming the angel? I think he is looking down on the Son of Heaven. According to the law, his nine generations should be executed."
The angel became angry and thought that Shen Lang was deliberately hiding from him.
"Men, go to the city and capture all the family members of the steward. After capturing the steward who looked down on the Son of Heaven, we will punish him together."
"Yes!" A few angel guards left. The one leading them was a Deification Period warrior.
Although angels couldn't be compared to the Son of Heaven, there was still a need to show off. A Deification Period guard was one of them.
No one dared to speak, and no one dared to complain about Shen Lang's injustice. The crime of looking down on the Son of Heaven was huge. They couldn't even hide in time, so how could they take the initiative to go up?
Upon seeing this scene, the angel smiled with satisfaction.
Arresting Shen Lang's entire family wasn't something that the angel wanted to do, but something that he had done after careful consideration.
An angel could kill two birds with one stone. The first was to deter the group of cultivators in Jin State. Second, it was even simpler. The golden seal was in Shen Lang's hands, and he had the bargaining chip. How could he not hand it over?
These people could remain indifferent, but Yan Huan couldn't. Although Shen Lang's cultivation base wasn't high, and he was only at the Great Perfection of Nascent Infant, he was still an important official of Jin State. Once something happened to him, Yan Huan wouldn't know what he would do in the future.
"Angel, please calm down. Steward Shen has been out of the city for more than ten days. If he knew that the angel was coming, he would definitely kowtow and greet him. How could he dare to neglect the angel?"
The angel didn't say a word, as if she didn't hear what Yan Huan said, nor did she stop the guards. She continued to send them to the Imperial City.
As the saying goes, when you want to commit a crime, you have no choice but to say it. The angel was just finding an excuse to get Gold King's seal. That was the key to his trip.
The big seal of Jin State wasn't something that could be casually refined. It was closely connected to the Fate Array. If something unexpected happened, Ji Xing could only start from scratch.
This was not the worst outcome. With the foundation of the Yan Family that had been laid down for hundreds of thousands of years, they could recover their vitality in a few hundred years.
The city was in chaos. Shen Lang's family, in a state of confusion, were captured by the guards of the angel.
...
...
Five days later, Shen Lang appeared in Imperial City. The first thing he saw was the angel flag outside.
The Great Zhou angel had arrived. Shen Lang was shocked. He had never thought that the angel would arrive so quickly.
Shen Lang had found the Great Zhou angel. How could the Great Zhou angel not notice Shen Lang? As soon as Shen Lang appeared, a Soul Formation guard blocked his path.
"Are you the butler of Gold King Prefecture, Shen Lang?" The guard shouted.
"I am!"
Before Shen Lang could finish his words, the guard had already taken out his magic treasure, a magic treasure grade Immortal Binding Rope, and tied Shen Lang up.
"Sir, what are you doing?" Shen Lang's mind was also filled with doubts.
"The angel has come, but you, as the housekeeper of Gold King Prefecture, did not come to receive her. You have looked down on the Son of Heaven. According to the law, you should have all your family and friends killed. Why do you think so?"
"What?" Shen Lang was stunned. He wasn't even in Imperial City. As the saying goes, those who don't know are innocent. How could this be possible?
Shen Lang was escorted to the camp of the Son of Heaven. Yan Huan and the others were there as well. Ever since they came out that day, they had never returned to Imperial City.
"Husband!"
"Father! '"
"Head of Household!"
When the people of Shen Family saw Shen Lang, they burst into tears. When they were captured, they were still in a daze, but after a few days, they finally understood the reason.
As for Shen Lang? When he saw the people of Shen Family who were tied up and enjoying the same treatment as him, he shivered. Just now, Shen Lang thought that the guards were joking, but when he saw the situation, he knew that they were serious.
"Looking down on the Son of Heaven... Hehe, "Shen Lang revealed a miserable expression. He was trying to kill the Shen Family.
At this moment, the Great Zhou angel walked out.
"Shen Lang, do you know your crime?!" The angel said sternly.
"I don't know what crime I have committed! Please enlighten me, angel."
"Hmph, one of the reasons why the angel didn't come to receive you was that she didn't kneel and kowtow when she saw the angel. You still say that you didn't commit any crime?"
Shen Lang didn't speak anymore. Who wouldn't know how to use unreasonable words?
The angel continued, "However, since it's your first time committing a crime, I can give you a way out. The prince said that the great seal of Gold King is in your hands. Hand it over and I'll spare your life."
An innocent man's wealth was his own fault. Shen Lang finally understood the mistake of the Shen Family. The mistake was that Gold King trusted Shen Lang too much. Before he left, he didn't give the seal to Yan Huan, but to him instead.
This was supposed to be a normal behavior. Shen Lang was the chief steward of the mansion. He had been handling government affairs for hundreds of years, and he was experienced and prudent. As for Yan Huan? He was Gold King's youngest son, and he was less than a hundred years old. He lived a life of prostitution every day. How could she pay attention to the trivial matters of Jin State?
If Gold King knew that he would die this time, he naturally wouldn't make such an arrangement. However, he didn't know, and neither did Shen Lang. The Third Prince, Ji Xing, was bold to such an extent. He actually took advantage of the Millennium Banquet to get rid of Gold King.
Ji Xing was also a smart person. He knew that he had gotten into trouble this time, so he simply ran to the Weihai County to have fun and leave the mess to the Great Zhou's Son of Heaven.
The final result was needless to say. Since Gold King was already dead and the bad influence had been created, the Great Zhou's Son of Heaven might as well kill the Yan Family.
Of course, Great Zhou still needed the final cover, but it could be expected that if Yan Huan went to the Tian Province, her outcome would not be any better than Gold King's.
"Butler Shen..." Yan Huan cast a questioning look. At this moment, the only person he trusted was Shen Lang.
Huhu!
Shen Lang took a deep breath. Great Zhou was a huge power, and the imperial edict of the Emperor of Great Zhou was something that all subjects had to carry out unconditionally. Once they resisted, they would immediately be charged with treason.
But what if they did not resist? Gold King had died because of injustice. The Emperor of Great Zhou's intention to destroy the Yan Family was obvious. As the most trusted right-hand man of the Yan Family, Shen Family was probably the first family to be destroyed.
