"The Lin Clan is punished with annihilation…?"
Amon was at Huang San's residence when he received the news.
"Yes. Apparently, a senior minister found evidence claiming that Lin Clan was involved with the rebels. Guess who this senior minister is," Huang San asked.
"… Pu Zhang," Amon answered.
Huang San nodded. "Pu Zhang presented this case to the royal court. My fourth brother issued the punishment three days ago."
"When will the punishment be carried out?" Amon asked.
"It has already happened," Huang San answered. "One day after the punishment was issued, a detachment of the kingdom army gathered at White Cloud City. Lin Clan was wiped out. I have only just found out."
"This means the punishment had already been decided before the case was presented to the royal court," Amon said. "It takes time to mobilize troops, and White Cloud City is not a region where the kingdom force is active. The execution army was already on the way to that city before the punishment was decreed."
