The metaphysics princess fortune-telling spirit, the abstinent and cruel king is addicted to pets

285 Chapter 285: Forced people to have no way out
Qing Feng looked at the list.

Among them, there is no shortage of wealthy families, which can be said to be deeply rooted in the court.

He looked embarrassed, and said: "My lord, spying there is to collect a lot of officials. It's not a problem at all. But...but the lord has taught some officials a lesson, although the emperor didn't pursue it and let it happen. It’s making a big fuss, but at this time we’d better keep a low profile.”

Although the master is very powerful, it is not easy to fight against many officials.

Once they unite to participate in the court, they will be in constant trouble.

Ye Siheng took a sip of his tea and didn't care.

"Just to clean up the officialdom, you are so timid, what big things can you do?"

Qing Feng was aggrieved for a while, curled his lips, "This subordinate is just afraid that these officials will jointly play the prince."

"That's just right. If they don't do anything, this king will still find it boring." Ye Siheng said.

Seeing that his master has made up his mind, Qing Feng couldn't say anything more.

He took the list and went to get the evidence collected by the spies.

Dali Temple only handles homicide cases, and it is the job of the Overwatch Council to investigate officials.

In just one day, three or four aristocratic families were investigated, and the black armor guards not only searched the house, but also arrested a thousand people.

Who in the Mu country doesn't know that the Overwatch Council is under the command of the Ninth Prince.

The common people like to watch the excitement, and they are discussing in private how these aristocratic families have offended the Ninth Prince.

The other aristocratic families were panicked, for fear that it would be their turn next.

But they soon received posts that came in surreptitiously.

It is to invite them to Mingyue Tower to discuss important matters.

Needless to say, they have already guessed what this person intends to do with this post.

At this juncture, how dare they gather together.

But on the second day, the Overwatch Council searched several families, including the Duke of Ming's mansion, and took away many people.

After entering the Overwatch Council, even if you don't die, you will have to shed a layer of skin.

These people were worried, and after thinking about it for a long time, they still went out secretly that night and went to Mingyue Tower to attend the appointment.

Mingyue Tower is still booming, with people coming and going.

That person has already arranged, as long as they take out the special gold-encrusted post, someone will come and take them to a clean and safe place.

It is a tea garden.

The interior decoration is elegant and unique, with smokers placed in the east, west, north, south, and the fragrance fills the room.

After the Patriarchs of various families came in, they saw many colleagues. Although their faces were embarrassed, they quickly calmed down and greeted each other.

They all knew very well that those who could come here were somewhat unclean, and they were afraid that the Overwatch Council would find out about themselves.

It was almost time, and a person came out of the inner room.

The candles are bright, clearly reflecting the plain clothes of the visitor.

Everyone bowed their hands and saluted: "Duke Jin."

Since the tragic death of Duke Jin's only son, he has been living in seclusion and ignoring government affairs.

They didn't expect that Jin Guogui would stand up at this time.

The Duke of Jin experienced the pain of losing his son, his hair turned gray almost overnight, his face was haggard, and he was very old.

He raised his hand to ask everyone to sit down, and said: "In the past two days, the Overwatch Council under the Ninth Prince has randomly searched the house and arrested people. Everyone must be worried."

The people looked at each other.

They are not only the heads of the family, but also officials who hold important positions in the court.

Jin Guogong invited them here, presumably because of their strength.

One of the patriarchs surnamed Gu said: "Duke Jin doesn't have to go around in circles. His tragic death was all because the Ninth Princess refused to give a talisman to save him. The concubine will attack. The Duke of Jin wants to take this opportunity to deal with the Ninth Prince, so why don't you just come up with a solution."

Others nodded one after another:
"That's right, there's no such thing as a clean job in the imperial court. The Ninth Prince's sudden behavior has forced us to have no way out."

"Duke Jin, we follow your lead."

"That's right. Why don't Duke Jin come up with a clever plan? If we drag it on, we should be imprisoned in the Overwatch Council."

"..."

Duke Jin was very satisfied listening to the chatter of these people.

He sent people to search for capable people and strangers, and brought back Fan Guizong, but both attempts failed.

However, Ye Siheng became anxious because of this, and directly used the Overwatch Council, causing a bloodbath in the court and panic among the people.

He has spent a lot of thought during this time to find out the details of these people and ensure that they will not rebel.

Then he went back and forth with him, and now he was able to share the same boat.

He coughed a few times to quiet everyone down.

"The Ninth Prince covered the sky with his hands, and the Anyang Marquis Mansion looked down on everyone, all because the emperor indulged them so much." Jin Guogong said.

Everyone heard Jin Guogong's meaning, and their expressions changed immediately.

Patriarch Gu glared at Jin Guogong: "Jin Guogong, if you want to avenge your son, you can't let us copy the family and exterminate the family!"

How dare you want to kill the king?
How crazy!

Duke Jin was not annoyed, and said in a cold voice: "I want to tear the nine princes and his wife and the Chu family into pieces, but you have to think about it, the emperor will not be here in the future, once the crown prince ascends the throne, with his weak and incompetent Temperament, he will definitely rely on the Ninth Prince even more, when the time comes, will you still have a way out?"

Everyone was at a loss for words, their bodies became cold, and their hearts were full of calculations.

They have a whole family to support, so they are naturally not so clean in the court.

Emperor Mu Wu likes to weigh the forces of all parties, and when he is old, he will not take drastic measures against them.

It would be even better if a mediocre person like Ye Chengyan ascended the throne, and they could get more profit from it.

But the premise is that there is no Ye Siheng in charge.

The two big Siheng returned to Beijing from the border to rectify the officialdom. Not only did they not get any advantage, but they also had to be cautious all day long, and their lives were miserable.

That Marquis of Anyang, a military general, is upright and ignorant of flexibility, and has had some quarrels with them.

Unexpectedly, Chu Nanli hitched up with the Ninth Prince, and the Anyang Marquis Mansion became prosperous, promoted and made a fortune. Their eyes were already red with jealousy.

But the Ninth Prince is in full swing, and with Chu Nanli's abilities, they can't do anything about it.

When Jin Guogong saw that none of them spoke, he knew that they had already figured out the pros and cons.

He smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Everyone, once this is done, not only will we be able to tide over this difficulty, but we will also be able to find a new way of life for our family."

"But once things fail... it will be ransacking the family and exterminating the family." Someone said weakly, "Perhaps, perhaps the Overwatch Council won't come and arrest me."

The Duke of Jin snorted and said, "You can take chances, but you all had quarrels with the Marquis of Anyang, how could the Ninth Prince use you again. Now that the officialdom has been reshuffled, your aristocratic families are looking pretty good now. But in a few more years, are you sure that your family can still gain a foothold in Kyoto?"

Everyone gritted their teeth in hatred.

Who wants to live a wimpy life.
