The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 163
"what?"

The emperor suddenly raised his head, his eyes became sharper, he stared at Cao Lang for several breaths, just wanting to see something strange on Cao Lang's face.

But the emperor was disappointed this time, Cao Lang lowered his eyebrows from beginning to end, without any superfluous expression.

The emperor dubiously turned over the file from the table. The more he looked at it, the more gloomy his face became. When he saw the end, he grabbed the water glass on the side and slammed it down on the ground.

Both Cao Shouli and Cao Lang bowed their heads and remained silent. The Tai Tai who was guarding outside the door heard the noises in the house and didn't know what happened.When he opened the door from the outside, what he saw was the emperor with bulging veins on his face, kneeling at the door hurriedly, not daring to step forward.

The emperor's complexion changed, cloudy and sunny, his eyes kept looking around the palace, and finally settled on Cao Lang.

Seeing the emperor's expression, Cao Shouli knew that the emperor still had something to say to Cao Lang, so he waved to the eunuch at the door.

The eunuch, like Meng Dahe, hurriedly got up and left, and closed the door of the main hall.

Cao Shouli bowed to the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, it's useless to be angry after finding out. Beidi's wolf is ambitious, and there may be some other tricks. We have to guard against it."

The emperor was startled, and said: "Shouli reminded me very much, Cao Lang, you go on, what else did you find?"

"The servant deserves to die. The servant heard that the man confessed to King Wei, so he sent someone to the King Wei's mansion to investigate secretly. The person who went there found a box in the King Wei's mansion..."

Cao Lang didn't say what was in the box, but presented a book to the emperor respectfully, and said: "The people below found this book in the box, please have a look at it, Your Majesty."

A bad thought flashed through the emperor's mind, he hesitated for a moment, and still took the book.

In Jiyi Hall, there is only the sound of the emperor turning the pages of the book.Under the dim light, the emperor's eyebrows became more ferocious, like a tiger about to eat.

It wasn't until the eunuch outside passed the news that Chang Guogong Liang Guang and Rites Minister Qian Minzhong arrived outside the door that the emperor closed the book, handed it to Cao Lang and said, "Ah Lang, go and burn this book."

Surprise flashed across Cao Lang's face, but he still took the book and bowed out of the Jiyi Hall.

Liang Guang and Qian Minzhong were urgently summoned into the palace at this time, and they still don't know what happened.Seeing Cao Lang, the two were about to inquire carefully when they heard the voice of the emperor inside the door.

Cao Lang bowed slightly to the two of them, and led the two young eunuchs towards Dongchang.

"Go and tell Kang Chaoguang that his wife should calm down for a few days and not show up."

Cao Lang ordered while walking: "Go and talk to Jiang Qianhu and call a group of capable people. We are going to make a big move tonight."

A young eunuch led away, and another young eunuch followed behind Cao Lang, and asked in a low voice, "Little Eunuch Cao, do you want us to withdraw from the Uncle Kangning's mansion?"

Cao Lang stopped in his tracks immediately, and cast a sidelong glance at the little eunuch, with infinite chill in his eyes.

The little eunuch immediately trembled from fright, and fell to his knees with a plop.

Cao Lang said coldly: "Remember, except for that Lin Zisu who can't be offended, everyone else should be watched closely by our family. The servants of the Lin family must not be let go, especially... the one named Wang Birthday."

The storm came so fast that everyone in Beijing was caught off guard.

On the second day, the sky was just getting bright, and a group of Dongchang fans in brown clothes with pointed hats and white soap boots completely surrounded the palace of Wei Wang.

King Wei's Mansion occupies a large area, and it is adjacent to the Imperial Palace. The Suzaku Avenue at the entrance of King Wei's Mansion is the only way to enter and exit the Imperial Palace.

Dongchang's move was seen by the ministers rushing to the court meeting, so the court meeting had not yet started, and all the civil and military ministers had heard the news.

In the past, the emperor was famous for being lenient, but since the emperor woke up, it was like a different person. In just a few days, the residences of several high officials were raided one after another.

That is to say, there was no movement all day yesterday. I thought the emperor would just stop his flag and drums, but unexpectedly, he made a big move. This time, the target turned out to be Prince Wei's mansion.

King Wei is the emperor's younger brother, and has always been protected by the emperor. He doesn't know what happened, and even Dongchang was dispatched.

It's no joke that Dongchang made a move.

According to the insider's own words, the one who took the lead to go to Prince Wei's mansion this morning was the little Eunuch Cao who was known for his ruthless shots.

Another person said that early in the morning, Dongchang carried out large boxes one after another from Prince Wei's mansion, which seemed to mean confiscating the house.

This kind of event that shocked the government and the public attracted everyone's attention. At the court meeting this day, the officials were as frightened as a bird, not daring to say anything more, for fear of being involved in this matter.

After the court meeting was over, the news spread throughout the capital as if it had grown wings.

There are naturally different opinions about the reasons for the confiscation of Prince Wei's Mansion.

Some people say that Prince Wei's Mansion was involved in the murder case;
Some people said that in order to seize a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, the owner of the Zhuangzi was beaten to death on the spot in order to seize a Zhuangzi in the outskirts of the city;
Some people say that Prince Wei's mansion robbed the women of the people, and several concubines of Prince Wei's mansion and Prince Qing'an were forced into the palace;

Of course, some people also heard about the fact that Prince Wei's Mansion went to Kang Ningbo's Mansion to ask for a marriage, saying that the King Wei's Mansion had offended that young lady Lin who had excellent medical skills and offended the emperor.

However, few people believed this statement. Thinking about it, King Wei is the emperor's younger brother. How could the emperor search his younger brother to vent his anger on others?
It was already noon when Lin Zisu heard that Prince Wei's Mansion had been raided.She was talking with Luo Yue in her small study, and she got the news from Lve Ying who went out early in the morning.

After all, Lve Ying had been in the Dian Palace for many years, when he heard about this matter, he knew it was a big deal, and he made detailed inquiries.

When Lve Ying spoke, she didn't deliberately avoid Luo Yue, she told Lin Zisu exactly what she could hear.

Lin Zisu was still pondering, but Luo Yue jumped up happily.

In Luo Yue's view, all the misfortunes that have happened to the Luo family in the past month are inseparable from Prince Wei's Mansion.The poisoning of his eldest sister, the impeachment of his grandfather, and the confiscation of his home were all due to Xie Yan's conspiracy.

After she listened to it from the side, she immediately clapped her hands and said with a smile: "This is how good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil. Xie Yan, and that king Wei who is not as good as pigs and dogs, will finally be punished!"

Lin Zisu didn't think so. King Wei had a special status. Even if he committed a serious crime, the emperor would only deal with it in private out of concern for face.

In the previous life, the Prince Wei's Mansion had always stood firm, and after being enfeoffed, it was also the only one among the feudal princes.

To search with such a great fanfare, unless it is treason, or...

With a thought in mind, Lin Zisu called Lve Ying closer, and said in a low voice, "You find a way to send a message to Dun Wang's mansion, just say... I want to see His Royal Highness Dun Wang."
