I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2180 Supervisory Council

During the following period, the Supervisory Office newly established by Liu Jun was like a stream of clean water, which quickly set off an anti-corruption storm in the Palace of the God King and even the entire Platinum God Realm. Its power was so great that it was astonishing. Those corrupt officials who usually flaunted their power and enriched themselves became rats crossing the street overnight, and everyone shouted for them to be beaten. They were pulled out by the iron-fisted means of the Supervisory Office and received severe punishment from the law.

It’s not that the Supervisory Commission is so efficient, but mainly because these corrupt officials are so arrogant and domineering that there is no need to deliberately collect evidence. Problems can be found out with just a casual investigation.

Because of the Supervisory Council's swift and decisive actions and impartiality, the atmosphere in the entire Palace of the God King became extremely tense. Within the palace walls, people were in panic, and every official was afraid that he would become the next target of the Supervisory Council.

Other places in the Platinum Divine Realm were no exception. Officials were all worried that their past crimes would be exposed, leading to their disgrace and death.

However, in this anti-corruption storm, the common people have welcomed the long-awaited dawn. They have long suffered from the oppression and exploitation of corrupt officials, living in dire straits, and living a life more tiring than death. Now, seeing those corrupt officials who were once high and mighty fall one by one, they are filled with unprecedented satisfaction and revenge, and some even want to set off fireworks to celebrate this rare moment.

In a hidden room in a mansion in the Platinum Divine Domain, more than a dozen high-ranking officials from the Platinum Divine Domain were gathered at this moment. Their faces were solemn, and their eyes revealed anxiety and fear.

Among them, the most eye-catching one is the Finance Minister of the Platinum Divine Realm. As an important official of the Platinum Divine Realm, he holds enormous power, but at this moment he is sitting on pins and needles, because his subordinates have been arrested one after another. If this trend continues, he himself may not be able to escape.

"This Lin Mo is going too far!" A senior official slammed the table and shouted angrily.

His voice echoed in the room, startling everyone around him. They all looked at the senior official, their eyes filled with helplessness and fear.

"Yes, he just became the president of the Supervisory Yuan, and he is so arrogant and domineering, arresting people everywhere and simply doesn't take us seriously!" Another senior official also echoed.

There was a slight tremor in his voice, and he was obviously intimidated by the power of the Overwatch Council.

The senior officials in the room began to talk, but their words were full of helplessness and despair.

"Let's think of a solution. We can't go on like this. None of us can escape." The Finance Minister sighed heavily, frowning.

His position here was undoubtedly the highest. As soon as he opened his mouth, the whole room fell silent. The high-ranking officials who were still complaining shut up and focused their eyes on him, expecting him to come up with some solution.

"Alas, what can we do?" A senior official shook his head helplessly, sighed and said, "Now everyone knows that it is our new emperor who fully supports Lin Mo. His will is the will of the Platinum Divine Realm. Who dares to offend the new emperor? Isn't that courting death?"

When the new emperor was mentioned, everyone's expressions became complicated. Since entering the city, this young emperor has been acting vigorously and forcefully, making people dare not slack off. In particular, his trust in Lin Mo has caused a lot of discussion in the court and the public.

On the first day of Liu Jun's court session, he mercilessly beheaded the powerful Minister of Agriculture. His overbearing temper and iron-fisted methods shocked the entire court. Who would dare to provoke him easily?

“We can’t just stand by and watch these dogs from the Supervisory Council bite us to death one by one, can we?” Another senior official finally couldn’t help but mutter, with a hint of anger and helplessness in his voice.

His words were like a fuse, instantly igniting the dissatisfaction and anxiety in the hearts of the senior officials present.

"Yes, if we continue like this, we will be defeated by them sooner or later." Someone echoed with a trembling voice.

"There is no good solution." Another senior official sighed again, his eyes full of fatigue and helplessness, "As long as His Majesty still supports Lin Mo and the Supervisory Council, we have no way to deal with them. We can only act as carefully as possible and don't let them find our flaws."

His words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the fire of hope in the hearts of the senior officials present.

"Knock, knock, knock." A series of rapid and powerful knocks on the door broke the silence of the room. The Chancellor of the Exchequer could not help but frown slightly and shouted impatiently, "Come in."

The door was gently pushed open, and a little old man in butler's clothes tiptoed in. He lowered his head, looking solemn, as if he had some important news. He slowly approached the Chancellor of the Exchequer, leaned over, and whispered a few words in his ear.

The Chancellor's expression instantly became solemn. He widened his eyes and looked at the butler in surprise, as if he had heard some unbelievable news.

"Are you serious?" the Chancellor confirmed again, with a tremor in his voice.

The butler nodded and said firmly, "It's true. His Majesty has already gone to Skyfire Square in person."

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Finance waved his hand to signal the butler to leave. After the butler left, he fell into deep thought, with confusion and uneasiness written all over his face.

After a moment, he raised his head, glanced at the senior officials in the room, and slowly spoke: "The latest news is that His Majesty held a fundraising event in Tianhuo Square. He called on everyone to donate money and treasures for disaster relief."

The high officials in the room looked at each other with confusion and puzzlement in their eyes after hearing this. They didn't understand why the new God King Liu Jun would take such a move.

After all, in their view, the God King should be high and mighty, extremely particular about pomp and face, so how could he personally come out to raise funds?
For a moment, the whole room fell into silence, with only the occasional sound of wind outside the window breaking the tranquility. The senior officials were thinking about it, trying to figure out Liu Jun's true intentions from his actions.

An unknown amount of time had passed before the Minister of Finance tapped the table gently. "Let's go and see what the new God King is going to do."

At this time, Liu Jun, the new God King, was sitting in the center of the Skyfire Square, surrounded by an inviolable majesty. The sun shone from the sky, coating him with a layer of golden light, making the young God King even more sacred and inviolable. In front of him, there was a carefully arranged ancient and solemn desk, on which were neatly placed pens, ink, paper and inkstone, as if ready to record some important decision at any time.

The area around Tianhuo Square had long been crowded with residents who did not know what was going on. Some were whispering to each other, some were standing on tiptoe to look around, their faces full of curiosity and expectation.

Fortunately, there were guards from the Palace of the Gods standing by around the Skyfire Square. Wearing armor and holding spears, they maintained order at the scene and prevented the curious crowd from causing any trouble.

"Your Majesty, will your method really work?" Military advisor Chu Liuying stood beside Liu Jun and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

His brows were furrowed, and his eyes flashed with worry about the unknown plan. After all, this plan sounded too bizarre, even a little absurd, and if he was not careful, it might cause a civil uprising.

"Just watch." Liu Jun smiled gently, his eyes full of confidence and composure.

He seemed to have foreseen everything that was about to happen, and his confident attitude made Chu Liuying secretly admire him.

Not long after, a team from the Supervisory Office slowly approached from a distance. They escorted several corrupt officials with death penalty signs on their bodies to Tianhuo Square as if they were escorting guilty prisoners.

These corrupt officials looked pale and trembled slightly, obviously filled with fear and anxiety about their fate.

"Are you guys here to donate money?" Liu Jun's voice rang out in the square, clear and powerful.

His eyes were as sharp as torches as he scanned the corrupt officials in the audience, as if he could see through their hearts.

One of the corrupt officials was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Liu Jun to ask such a direct question. "No, Your Majesty, I am innocent..." He hastily defended himself, with a hint of tears in his voice.

"Pull him away, chop him off." Liu Jun's face suddenly turned cold, and there was no hesitation or mercy in his voice. His decision was as cold as ice, shocking everyone present.

"No, no, wait, Your Majesty, I am here to donate money!" The corrupt official finally realized what was happening and hurriedly changed his words, his voice full of fear and pleading. He knew very well that if he missed this opportunity, his life would be completely in jeopardy.

This scene stunned the surrounding residents. They had never seen such a strange way of trial, and they had never thought that the new God King would use such a unique method to punish corrupt officials and raise charity funds.

"Oh? Are you here to donate money? Come on, come on, take a seat. What's the point of kneeling? It's so tiring!" Liu Jun waved with a smile, his face filled with an inexplicable joy.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The guard next to him understood and immediately brought a beautifully carved chair and carefully placed it in front of Liu Jun, allowing the corrupt official with a frightened face to sit down slowly.

The corrupt official's body was shaking slightly, as if he had not yet recovered from the shock he had just experienced. He sat trembling on the chair, his eyes revealing a bit of uneasiness and fear.

Chu Liuying, who was standing next to Liu Jun, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes, as if he was watching a wonderful show.

"So how much do you plan to donate? Don't tell me you come empty-handed." Liu Jun's tone was relaxed and casual, but his words revealed unquestionable majesty.

When the corrupt official heard this, his face turned pale instantly and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Donate, donate 10 million Divine King coins..."

The corrupt official stammered, his voice trembling slightly.

Liu Jun's face darkened instantly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

"Think about it carefully. You want to get rid of me with 10 million God King coins? Where is your sincerity?" Liu Jun's tone became cold and serious, making the corrupt official shudder.

Seeing this, the corrupt official's heart tightened, and he quickly changed his words: "Fifty, fifty million! I am willing to donate fifty million Divine King coins!"

There was a hint of anxiety and fear in his voice, fearing that Liu Jun would be dissatisfied.

However, Liu Jun still frowned, as if he was not satisfied with the number.

"Your sincerity in donating money is not good enough. I think you still don't understand your situation." Liu Jun shook his head slightly, with a bit of disappointment and blame in his tone.

When the corrupt official heard this, he became even more panicked. He gritted his teeth and said, "I will donate everything! All my property, I will donate it all! I only hope that Your Majesty will show mercy and spare my life!"

There was a hint of determination and heroism in his voice, as if he had already made preparations for the worst. Compared with the lives of his entire family, money was really just a thing outside of his body.

When Liu Jun heard this, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, as if he saw the result he had been looking forward to for a long time.
