Chapter 419. Seven Stars, Blessed Existence (3)
“Xun Yingguan.”
Zhou Xuchuan spoke his real name aloud.
Standard Class Rank Six Upper Grade Official of the Censorate, the Registrar of the Registry Xun Yingguan.
He was the Registrar of the Registry of the inspection division of the imperial government, the Censorate.[1]
"You know it well."
“When I found out his name and status, I was puzzled at first, but now that I think about it, there is no more appropriate position.”
After hearing their identities from the Heavenly Demon, Zhou Xuchuan had thoroughly investigated the three main figures: the Association Lord, Blessed Existence, and Destructive Soldier.
He had gone over the intel multiple times to see if he had been deceived or if he had misunderstood, and even after he confirmed it, he worked hard to clarify in different ways.
"Yes, you're right. While the emperor could never let an official in a high position stay alive, he still spared those who had no interest in power or were in low positions. And the inspection mechanisms, the Censorate, that monitored and reported on officials went without saying."
To be purged, just because one was an official. It truly wasn't a joke. Anyone who showed even the slightest greed was killed. Not only the official in question, but all of their relatives were beheaded.
It wasn't without reason that those of the Dark Heavens Association had given up the powers that they had accumulated and fled.
Seeing their close associates and family die down to the ninth generation, they thought that there was no hope.
