Chapter 1014: 465: The Secret of the Demon Emperor! Devouring Fu Lingxi!_3

Minister of Personnel Heimu, Minister of War Beibu Tuo, Minister of Rites Zhang Zhi Mu, Minister of Construction Zhu Ren Jie.

Apart from Heimu, the other three cabinet members and Zhi Li have also been involved in corruption, and they have embezzled quite a bit.

However, especially Zhang Zhi Mu and Zhu Ren Jie, Suo Lun definitely plans to replace them later on.

Of course, their lives will be spared, because at least they did not deeply collude with the Hidden Yuan Association, and have managed to restrain themselves on the critical issue of betraying the country.

As for the Minister of the Department of Punishments, he embezzled over two hundred thousand Gold Coins, and also has over a dozen beautiful concubines from Yin Zhou.

On the first day of the property confiscation list, the Minister of the Department of Punishments was the first person listed.

"Gui Xingfu, the Minister of the Department of Punishments position is temporarily vacant, you will take charge for a while," Suo Lun said, "Remember, Yin Du is an experienced official of the Department of Punishments, you should consult him often."

Gui Xingfu immediately trembled with excitement, and quickly knelt down saying: "Your humble servant obeys, thanking His Majesty the Regent King for his immense grace."

Seeing his demeanor, Duke Zhi Ting frowned but let him be.

Gui Xingfu continuously addresses him as Regent King, clearly indicating, within this cabinet he is Suo Lun’s man, not Zhi Yan’s.

Zhi Ting looked down upon and disdained this stance.

In terms of closeness of relationship with Suo Lun, I, Zhi Ting, far surpass you, Gui Xingfu. In Suo Lun’s eyes, I am family, while you, Gui Xingfu, are just a dog, indeed foolishly self-degrading.

"Yan Wuzhi, effective immediately you are acting Governor-General of Zhi Du, also entering the cabinet," Suo Lun said: "An edict will be issued early tomorrow morning."

Yan Wuzhi knelt down and knocked his head on the floor, saying: "Your servant thanks Your Majesty for his heavenly grace, thanks to the Regent Duke for his great kindness."

His stance was normal, even though he must consider the King, despite it was Suo Lun who promoted him.

But at this moment, no words could express the excitement in Yan Wuzhi’s heart and his gratitude towards Suo Lun.

Ascending two levels straight from the position of long history in Southeast Province, becoming the Governor-General of Zhi Du, and entering the cabinet.

The previously hopeless Yan Wuzhi, has finally reached the peak of civil officials, becoming a cabinet member.

However, Yan Wuzhi secretly vowed inside, this is just the beginning, his next target is to reach the position of the Prime Minister.

"Duke Suo Lun, I will show you, I, Yan Wuzhi, am indeed a thoroughbred horse."

Suo Lun looked at the Minister of Rites Heimu and said, "Lord Heimu, from today on, you will act as the Deputy Prime Minister of the cabinet. Tomorrow, Duke Zhi Ting will go to Tianshui City to attend my wedding, you will manage the cabinet affairs for the next two or three days."

Heimu trembled, almost unable to believe his ears.

Deputy Prime Minister?

This position, he had truly longed for his entire life.

He is already advanced in years, knowing that the position of Prime Minister is beyond reach. His only wish was to retire holding the title of Deputy.

However, he knew that his hopes were slim, Suo Lun was dissatisfied with his performance, and during the years Zhi Li was in power, although Heimu did not engage in corruption, he was too cautious and self-protecting.

At this moment, Suo Lun suddenly promoted him to Deputy, allowing his lifelong wish to be fulfilled. He was so moved that he cried uncontrollably, tremblingly kneeling down and saying: "This old servant thanks Your Majesty for his heavenly grace, thanks the Regent Duke for his profound kindness."

"Very well, the edicts for all of you will be announced tomorrow," Suo Lun said. "For the next three days, the affairs of the Rage Wave Kingdom will be entrusted to all of you."

"We obey the edict!"

All the cabinet members present knelt and kowtowed in unison.

...

Inside the Yanjing Holy Temple!

Fu Lingxi’s execution by fire is coming up, and the last minute rescue has not appeared.

Following an order from the priest, the torch directly lit the pile of dry wood beneath Fu Lingxi!

"Boom!"

The blazing flames suddenly erupted.

The terrifying flames instantly engulfed Fu Lingxi’s entire body.

"Ah... Ah... Ah..."

The elegant and beautiful Fu Lingxi, at this moment, let out an unprecedentedly piercing scream!

The endless torture caused his screams to sound utterly heart-wrenching!

"Ah... Ah!"

Immediately after, a bizarre scene occurred!

...
