Chapter 4449: The Imperial City’s public judgment (1)
Before he opened the Treasury, Tang Zhen had once guessed how many assets this greedy Emperor had.
The exact value could not be determined, but it would definitely not be too little.
At this moment, Tang Zhen was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes and made an estimation.
The wealth in the Treasury was far more than he had imagined.
This insatiable fellow, in order to satisfy his own selfish desires, who knew how much of the People’s wealth he had plundered.

He was like a vampire, sucking blood non-stop and not caring about the lives of the people.
The key was that this hard-earned money must have gone through a lot of tax draws during this period, and the real losses of the people were definitely not just what they were seeing now.
The Emperor of Da Qi and his lackeys were just jackals of the same lair, and it would not be a pity if they were cut into pieces.
Inside the Treasury, there were countless gold and silver.
Tang Zhen was able to clearly see that the gold and silver along the way were neatly arranged by people.
Because it had been stored for too long, a lot of the silver had rotted and turned black, and some had even turned into scraps.
If he wanted to use it, he would have to refine it again.
Countless amounts of gold and silver were piled up in the warehouse. Even if they rotted, they would not want to take them out.
No matter if it was private property or the National Treasury, they were all allowed to enter but not exit. It was really stingy to the extreme.
Even though he was so rich, the Emperor of Da Qi was still desperately plundering, and even wanted to take advantage of the war to make another fortune.
Such a strange way of thinking, crazily amassing wealth, was actually a kind of sick mentality.
The people were deeply hurt by the incapable ruler.
However, no matter how crazy they were, there would always be a time when the curtain fell, and the wealth that they had crazily gathered would become the spoils of war of others.
Tang Zhen didn’t have any mental pressure when he received this kind of bloody wealth. Anyone who obtained it would be stronger than the monarch of great Qi.
At this moment, there was a one-meter diameter vortex floating behind Tang Zhen. It seemed as though it could devour everything in the world.
The silver and silver floated in the air like a school of silver fish, and they swarmed toward the whirlpool.
Within Tang Zhen’s consciousness, there was a set of numbers that continuously changed and rose. It recorded the amount of gold and silver he had obtained this time.
He did not have to wait for too long before Tang Zhen’s goal for this trip was achieved.
100 million taels of silver was enough for Lou Cheng to advance to Level 3. He thought it would take a long time to save up, but he didn’t expect it to be so easy.
As expected, the right plan could make difficult things easier and save a lot of time.
If he had not set the Emperor of Da Qi as his target from the start, it would have taken a lot of effort to gather this amount of silver.
Achieving the expected goal did not mean that Tang Zhen would stop here. He would take away all the gold and silver in the warehouse and would definitely not leave a single bit.
After all, the daily operation of the City Tower required a large amount of gold and silver to maintain, and the higher the level, the greater the consumption.
If Tang Zhen couldn’t use it all, he could use it to help the people and redistribute it to the poor.
Instead of being left here, plundered by the nobles and stored in the treasure vault to rot.
By the time Tang Zhen reached the end, the gold and silver that had been piled up for many years had also been swept clean. All of them had been sucked into his storage equipment.
The empty treasure vault was only left with dust on the ground, exuding a rotten and cold aura.
The amount that Tang Zhen wanted to know had finally been calculated. It far exceeded his expectations before this trip.
Not counting the rest, there was a total of nine hundred and seventy million taels. When piled together, it was enough to cast a small mountain.
This number made Tang Zhen happy, but he also felt a trace of anger.
The more gold and silver there was in the Treasury, the more ruthless the other party’s plundering was. Nine hundred million taels had been sent to the royal treasury, but who knew how many times more had been taken during the period.
Under the Emperor of Da Qi, there were those big clans. They were like dogs and Eagles, and were also blood-sucking bugs. They could not be let off easily.
Tang Zhen slowly walked out of the treasure vault and saw that there were panicked crowds everywhere. The concubines, Palace maids, and eunuchs of the Emperor of Da Qi were all fleeing in all directions.
Tang Zhen didn’t want to make things difficult for them. It wasn’t a problem for them to escape the palace, but they were absolutely not allowed to take away things that didn’t belong to them.
He ordered the four spirit cultivators to guard the palace. Anyone who tried to leave must be searched.
The capture of the DA Qi Emperor meant that the early task had been successfully completed. Tang Zhen had already sent a message to Lou Cheng.
Soon, transport airships would arrive and transport a large number of residents to the palace to help with the collection.
Tang Zhen did not intend to keep this luxurious palace. Instead, he was prepared to completely destroy it.
In the future, loucheng would be the ruler of the Daqi Kingdom, so there was no need to leave a Palace as an eyesore.
Moreover, the Imperial Palace of Da Qi itself represented the decadent imperial power. Only by completely destroying it could the invisible mountain in the hearts of the people be removed.
Tang Zhen’s trip this time was not only for money, but also to pave the way for his future actions.
After leaving the prison that was the palace, Tang Zhen walked among the crowd and quietly listened to the People’s complaints about the Emperor of Da Qi.
If they were given the chance to make a move, the monarch of great Qi would have been torn to pieces long ago and would never be able to stay in the cage safely.
He was currently in a square in Wang Jing, which was often used for holding grand events.
Every time there was an event, the royal family would attend as distinguished guests and enjoy the respect and admiration of the people.
However, it was different today. It was still the same high platform, but the Emperor of Da Qi had become the one being judged. The gazes below the platform were no longer filled with respect and envy, but with deep hatred and contempt.
The greedy monarch of Da Qi was now as limp as mud, looking around in despair and hatred.
He had no ability to resist, and his heart was full of despair and madness, but he tried to maintain the attitude of an Emperor and respond to those who dared to look down on him.
Tang Zhen did not have the slightest bit of pity for this pitiful person. The other party had only himself to blame.
Everything he was doing now was actually intentional, just to carry out the next operation.
Tang Zhen wanted the commoners to expose him. Only then would he be able to find enough reasons to deal with those indifferent large families.
The Imperial City was in chaos, but these great clans had no reaction. It was obvious that they intended to stand by and watch.
If they thought that they could escape punishment by remaining silent, they were definitely delusional.
Regardless of whether it was a big fish or a small fish, they could forget about escaping Tang Zhen’s net. Since he wanted to change the world, it was absolutely impossible for him to let off these core members.
However, up until now, no one had taken the initiative to reveal it. It was obvious that they were afraid of the brutal revenge.
A starving camel was still bigger than a horse, not to mention that the one in front of him was only the chief evil, and the underlings that followed him were still safe and sound.
It was only natural that no one dared to stand up for him.
In such a situation, it was necessary to use some small means to stir up the emotions of those who harbored resentment.
Unknowingly, a strange smell spread and was absorbed by the surrounding people.
The pent-up anger in his heart was ignited in a very short time, and his round eyes were bloodshot.
Soon, someone stood up and rushed to the high platform. He was full of anger as he cursed and listed the crimes of the Emperor of Da Qi.
The onlookers felt the same and clapped their hands in agreement. Looking at their ferocious postures, they wanted to eat the flesh and blood of the Emperor of Da Qi.
As the commoners continued to expose, more and more influential families were implicated, and many things that had been covered up in the past were also made public.
Some people were getting angrier, some were excited and happy, and there were also many people with gloomy expressions.
They came from various big families, and when they heard someone expose their evil deeds, they would definitely feel angry and resentful.
If it were not for the fear of cultivators and the fact that they did not dare to cause trouble at this moment, those who exposed the matter would have been shot to death by arrows.
But even so, he secretly made up his mind to take revenge in the future.
However, he didn’t know that he had long been targeted and was reduced to a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Several spirit refining cultivators left with Tang Zhen’s orders and headed to the major families, preparing to question them.
He would directly ask the families whether they wanted their lives or money. If they wanted their lives, they would have to hand over all their assets. Only then would they have a chance to save their lives.
If he chose to ask for money, then there was no need to be polite. He would first convict him, then behead him, and finally take away all the wealth.
