With all of the experts of the three founding families taken care of, it was easy for the royal army to subdue the rest of the three founding families.
There were certainly a few fights where they tried to resist, but they were no match for the royal army at all.
Even the experts of the Han Family ca out to subdue the rest of the three founding families.
In the Duanmu Family's case, it was the easiest to subdue.
The one that had been left behind was Duanmu Ming Xue's fourth uncle, the Fourth Master of the Duanmu Family.
As soon as Duanmu Ming Xue appeared, the Fourth Master imdiately surrendered to the royal army.
It seed that he had been worried about Duanmu Ming Xue the entire ti as he ca out even though the Duanmu Family Manor was still surrounded by the royal army.
He and his family went over to her and treated her as if she was their long lost daughter.
It seed that the affection between them wasn't one sided, it seed that they had long taken each other as family.
Lin Fan didn't bother them and allowed them to catch up as he took care of the other two founding families.
Those two families resisted more, but they couldn't do anything when the experts appeared.
The two family heads took their experts with them on what they thought would be their chance to assassinate King Han. So there weren't any experts left in these two founding families to fight the experts of the royal family.
Though they did try to fight to the end.
It took a single black fla arrow from Lin Fan each ti to shatter the barriers that they set up and to cripple the leaders that tried to fight back.
Once they had been subdued, the Han Royal Family imdiately sent people to tally up the fortunes of the three founding families and then bring them back.
Of course, the Han Royal Family didn't keep all of it and split half of it to Lin Fan.
Though thinking about it, Lin Fan really deserved more with how much work he put into subduing the three founding families. But he didn't take more since he wanted the Han Kingdom to be a strong ally for the Mu Empire in the future.
They would need these resources to regroup and strengthen themselves.
After the three founding families were taken down, there were many that wanted to visit King Han and congratulate him, but they were all kept at the door.
King Han shared with Lin Fan that he was using this chance to commit a purge of his kingdom.
There were many families that had been sitting on the fence for too long and they held too much power, it was just that he was never able to do anything to them since he had been worried about the three founding families.
Now was his chance to completely clean the Han Kingdom.
That was why he asked Lin Fan to excuse him for a few days.
Lin Fan didn't mind this since he wanted to be there for Duanmu Ming Xue.
So the two of them just went their separate ways.
…
"You can't do this to ! I am the young master of the Bei Family!"
In a square in the center of the capital, there was a man that was currently standing on the execution stand.
This was the young master of the Bei Family as he said, but the other identity that he had was…
The forr husband of Duanmu Ming Xue and the biological father of Duanmu Yi.
As for how he ended up in a place like this…
After the royal army had subdued the three founding families, the first thing that happened was a purge of its mbers. The ones that were found to be guilty were those that wanted to rise up with their families and just bided their ti.
But this young master of the Bei Family wasn't one of those.
He was soone who was a prodigal, so he never had those kinds of thoughts in the first place.
No, this young master of the Bei Family was being punished because of his actual cris.
Though a part of it was because Duanmu Ming Xue chose to condemn him. Or it was even better to say that Duanmu Ming Xue pushed for this young master of the Bei Family to be punished.
That was why when he ca up to the execution stand, there were many people that shouted out demanding his death. The cris that he had committed with the influence of the Bei Family were not shallow.
If it wasn't for the Bei Family covering him, he would have been chopped to ten thousand pieces already.
Of course, that was what he was going to endure now.
The execution thod was to die by ten thousand cuts, which was what Duanmu Ming Xue had decided on.
When it ca to this young master of the Bei Family, she didn't seem to have any rcy at all.
It was hard for Lin Fan to imagine just how much she had suffered at his hands before.
But there was one thing that he was still concerned about.
"What will Duanmu Yi think of this?"
Duanmu Ming Xue didn't seem to have any hesitation at all as she said, "She's lived this long without a father, so it's better that this continues. Especially when her father is this kind of person in the first place."
Lin Fan didn't say anything at first, but then he slowly nodded in agreent.
He had seen the reports on all of the things that the young master of the Bei Family had done, so he knew that this kind of person deserved death.
It was indeed better that Duanmu Yi never t him.
Even as he was being cut, the young master of the Bei Family didn't seem like he could accept this as he kept screaming, "You won't get away with this! Do you know who I am!"
It seed that he was just that kind of person…
In fact, him doing this had caused more people to shout out and demand for his death.
He didn't seem to have any remorse at all even when he was being punished for his cris.
But there was nothing that he could do.
In the end, Lin Fan wasn't interested in watching the rest of this since it was just torturing soone to death and he left the execution.
King Han saw this and headed off as well since there was sothing that he wanted to talk about with Lin Fan.
At the sa ti, there were three people that were brought along by King Han.
These were the three new heads of the three founding families.
They would be the ones that would work with King Han in the future to govern the Han Kingdom.
"Thank you for everything that you've done for us." That was the first thing that King Han said as soon as they were alone in the room.
Lin Fan was surprised since he didn't think that King Han would put down his face to say sothing like this right away, but it seed that he was right about him. It seed that this King Han was a good ruler that cared about his people.
In the future, he would be a good ally for the Mu Empire.
That was unless the Five Great Sects were to do sothing shaless. Read new adventures at empire
Lin Fan already had experience with how shaless the Five Great Sects were, so he knew that this was certainly possible.
But until then, he believed that King Han wouldn't betray them that easily.
In the end, Lin Fan just raised a hand and simply said, "It was nothing. We all did what we did for our own benefits."
King Han gave a simple nod, but the look in his eyes made it clear what he was thinking.
Lin Fan knew that there was nothing else to say, so he turned his attention to the other three that were in the room with them.
Specifically, his attention was on Duanmu Chao.
Duanmu Chao was the forr fourth master and the current head of the Duanmu Family, the one that had surrendered the Duanmu Family over.
At the sa ti, Duanmu Chao was like a father to Duanmu Ming Xue, so he could be considered a father in law for Lin Fan.
It was just that…
"When you have ti, you should bring Xiao Yi to see the new Duanmu Family. I promise that we'll have a new Duanmu Family that won't disappoint her." Duanmu Chao said in a confident voice.
The fact that he brought up Duanmu Yi all the ti was what made Lin Fan feel awkward.
That was because in addition to being like a father in law to Lin Fan, he was also like a grandfather in law to Lin Fan.
After all, Lin Fan had laid his hands on both mother and daughter.
He couldn't even begin to imagine what Duanmu Chao would think if he knew this.
It didn't seem Duanmu Ming Xue told him and he didn't want to be the one that told him.
The only thing that Lin Fan could do was awkwardly say, "When the ti is right, we'll bring her over."
Duanmu Chao gave a nod as if he accepted this, but the look in his eyes made it clear that he wanted it to happen as soon as possible.
That just made it even more awkward for Lin Fan.
