Chapter 197 Shock
As Shen Lang's order was issued, the prefect strictly implemented it and immediately sealed off Baiyun City. He also sent guards from the yamen and generals defending the city to block the roads leading out of the city and guard it with heavy troops.
Yamen guards posted notices all over the streets.
Anyone who kills the Sakura Empire will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver.
Anyone who reports the Sakura Empire will receive a fifty-dollar reward.
As soon as this order was issued, citizens all over the city were mobilized, investigating and chasing in the streets and alleys, and reporting anyone who looked like someone from the Sakura Empire.
For a time, the prefectural government office was crowded with people, with ordinary people coming in and out. All the suspects were sent in and tortured.
If we catch the wrong person, we will offer a reward of 100 taels as compensation. If we catch the right person, we will kill him immediately without leaving any alive!
This operation to capture people from the Sakura Empire lasted for ten days, and hundreds of people from the Sakura Empire were captured, including civilians, assassins hiding in the dark, and merchants who came here to do business.
Such a result made Shen Lang and his group gasp. Baiyun City had unexpectedly gained so many people from the Sakura Empire without anyone noticing. This was truly terrifying!
If this continues, I'm afraid there will be unimaginable consequences!
Therefore, Shen Lang immediately decided to make a Baiyun City waist badge for each of the indigenous people of Baiyun City. Anyone who possesses this waist badge is a native of Baiyun City.
Anyone who does not have this badge must go to the prefectural government to register their detailed information. If they refuse to cooperate, they will be sent directly to jail!
Shen Lang, Qingyun and the prefect worked for another half a month, working overtime to make tens of thousands of badges. Shen Lang personally went with Qingyun and the prefect to distribute them to every household to prevent any fish from slipping through the net and getting away with it.
Here, Shen Lang was working in full swing, and the imperial capital Jingyan City was also in an uproar.
The Sakura Gakuen headquarters went to the court to ask for an explanation, and ministers from various departments also submitted memorials, criticizing Pingnan Shenhou for being too arrogant. There were even princes and dukes who simultaneously advised to kill Shen Lang, Pingnan Shenhou, to quell the incident. Zhu Chenluo, who was far away in the Nanyue Empire, knew about Shen Lang's move to kill Sakura Gakuen. You can imagine how big a fuss this incident caused.
Three days later, a carriage appeared in front of the Shen Mansion, carrying a man in a black robe and a woman in a white robe, accompanied by an extremely handsome man who was as beautiful as the woman.
"The King of Pingnan has arrived, and the God of Pingnan is right!" Shen Lang and his father, mother, and four wives walked out of the mansion and bowed.
Zhu Chenluo waved his hands quickly: "Don't talk to me about this, come in, I have something important to tell you!"
"Okay!" Shen Lang nodded, and naturally knew why Zhu Chenluo came.
"Brother Lang, you made such a big noise this time that I could hear it even from far away in Nanyue!" Zhu Chenluo's first words after entering Shen Lang's room and sitting down.
"Haha!" Shen Lang grinned and poured a cup of tea for Zhu Chenluo: "Drink some water first, no hurry, no hurry!"
Zhu Chenluo looked at Shen Lang's steady appearance, smiled helplessly, drank the tea in the cup, and continued, "Do you know why I came here?"
"Have things reached the point where they are out of control?" Shen Lang poured a cup of tea.
"Um!"
Zhu Chenluo nodded and said seriously: "The emperor wants to remove you from your position as Pingnan Shenhou to calm this incident!"
After hearing this, Shen Lang shrugged his shoulders and said, "What else?"
"I order your entire family to move out of Baiyun City and you can never come back. If you disobey, you will be killed directly!" Zhu Chenluo gestured with his right hand.
This time, Shen Lang's expression became serious: "What else?"
"Your grandfather has been removed from the position of Lord of Jingyan City, and your family's business is going to be closed!" Zhu Chenluo sighed.
"What a cruel method!" Shen Lang said coldly.
Zhu Chenluo nodded, looked at Shen Lang and said, "This time, three princes, eight princes, ministers of various departments, and people from the Sakura Academy headquarters all advised to punish you at the same time. This is the first time in the history of the Huaxia Empire that such a scale has happened!"
"At the beginning, the execution was very simple, and the entire clan was implicated!" Zhu Chenluo said in a deep voice: "But the emperor dismissed you and your family from your official positions, closed your business, and asked you to leave Baiyun City because of your efforts in suppressing the rebellion in the empire!"
"I have to thank the emperor for his grace!" Shen Lang laughed at himself.
Zhu Chenluo naturally understood what Shen Lang meant and sighed, "Now, the court is in turmoil and undercurrents are flowing. It's the best outcome for you to end up like this!"
"For many things, the emperor no longer has the final say!" Zhu Chenluo said, and took a big gulp.
"Then why don't you use a knife?" Shen Lang asked back.
Zhu Chenluo shook his head: "How to move?"
"All the ministers were bribed, and the emperor was... was... Alas!" Zhu Chenluo sighed, "Except for a few generals who fought on the battlefield and protected themselves, most people were controlled by the people of the Sakura Empire!"
"I only know about this horrific thing now!" Zhu Chenluo said bitterly, "The people of the Sakura Empire are really good at planning and are so patient!"
After hearing this, Shen Lang was silent for a long time before he said, "If this continues, the Huaxia Empire may have to change its name!"
Zhu Chenluo took a sip of tea, looked at Shen Lang, and whispered: "I'm training my own soldiers!"
Shen Lang's eyes lit up: "You want to change the dynasty?"
Zhu Chenluo smiled slightly: "I am a Chinese, how can there be a change of dynasty? Even if I am the emperor...isn't it still the Chinese Empire ?"
"Besides, I am not interested in that position. I just like the land under my feet. I am preparing for a rainy day now. If the Sakura Empire really takes action, I will directly return to the imperial capital and destroy those people!"
"It's not easy!" Shen Lang sighed: "The people of the Sakura Empire have been patient for hundreds of years, acting in secret. Now they dare to appear in the sun openly. If they are not well prepared, they will not be exposed!"
"They must have many soldiers and generals, and they have many backup plans!" Shen Lang said, "Let alone completely annihilating the people of the Sakura Empire, even removing the people of the Sakura Empire in the court first will be as difficult as ascending to heaven!"
“Not necessarily!”
Zhu Chenluo was silent for a long time before speaking: "At least a few princes have their own little calculations, and my brothers are more familiar with them!"
"As for the other princes, they all have their own plans. If they really start a fight with the people of the Sakura Empire, it's hard to say who will win!"
Zhu Chenluo said: "But now their spearheads are all aimed at you!"
"Your position is now clear, you are targeting the people of the Sakura Empire!"
"Your appearance has disrupted the balance and destroyed their interests, so now they are on the same boat and want to get rid of you!"
"Then we'll see whose knife is faster!" Shen Lang sneered after hearing this: "How can I be afraid of this?"
"I know you are not afraid! You also have the ability to do so!" Zhu Chenluo looked at Shen Lang and reminded him.
"Where are your family? Where is your wife? Where is your wife's family?"
"What will they do?"
