章節 48: Punishment At The Same Time

As soon as Emperor Zhou finished his sentence, Wu Qiuhan gaped. He wanted to say something but didn't dare to.

With this, the Xue family was going to be in deep trouble this time. The Xue family had relied on the fact that he was the Minister of Revenue and had a lot of business connections with the Royal Court. After all, everyone knew that doing business with the Royal Court was a guaranteed profit.

Now, with a word from Emperor Zhou, all their businesses with the Royal Court would stop.

Most importantly, the Xue family would not be allowed to pass any Court approval for the next twenty years. This would cost the Xue family's lifeline. Many businesses needed approval, including some minerals, salt, iron, and grain. This way, the scope of the Xue family's business was cut down by a lot.

As for Xue Meng, he even had to serve for five years?

That was five years of slavery!
