Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 514 Cutting out the roots
After Jia Rui made up his mind, he immediately summoned Qin Shun.

"Take my hand and the people under your command to arrest all the royal family in the capital. If you dare to resist, they will be executed on the spot."

Qin Shun was surprised at first, but he quickly realized what he was doing, saluted Jia Rui, and bowed out.

After arriving outside, Qin Shun sighed.

He also knew about what happened this evening through his confidants. It seemed that the incident in the Royal Garden had stimulated the Duke of Guo, and he had become somewhat indifferent.

It's a pity that he is just a slave and can only do as he is told.

Qin Shun quickly recruited hundreds of people, and then took Jia Rui's hand to go to the infantry commander's office and lost more than a thousand troops. After that, he returned to the inner city and began to madly encircle and suppress the royal family in the inner city.

Besides, at this time, the atmosphere in the Gongshun Palace had become much more harmonious, unlike the situation a while ago when everything was in chaos.

Because just this morning, news came from the Rongguo Mansion that they agreed to get married, and they were waiting for Prince Gongshun to send the betrothal gift.

Now King Gongshun and the princess were having wine in the small flower hall and discussing what kind of betrothal gift they should give to be worthy of the girl from Rongguo Mansion.

Just when they were chatting happily, a handsome and burly young man broke in.

"Father, mother, I heard that you are going to marry a concubine from Rongguo Mansion?"

King Gong Shun looked at the young man and sighed. If the royal family was still in power, there would be no need for his son to suffer such injustice.

But now it is different from the past. Being able to marry Rongguofu is a guarantee for them to obey the palace, so even if their son is wronged, they can only endure it.

"Yes, your mother has already gone to Rongguo Mansion to see this girl. She is a talented and beautiful girl who is a perfect match." King Gongshun said with a sullen face.

The young man opened his mouth to retort, but when he saw his mother's pleading eyes, he was finally discouraged and sat on the chair without saying a word.

King Gongshun also knew that his son was wronged, so he stood up and walked to his side, patted his shoulder and said: "Son, I am doing this for your own good. If you marry a girl from Rongguo Mansion, you will at least be able to live peacefully in the future. An’an, no need to worry like now.”

The second prince looked up at his father, with a look of helplessness on his face.

While they were talking, suddenly the eunuch in charge of the mansion ran into the flower hall like crazy.

"The prince is in serious trouble. People from the infantry commander's office have surrounded the palace. Eunuch Qin from the palace has broken in with his guards."

When King Gong Shun heard this, his mind started to buzz.

Fortunately, King Gongshun had made some mental preparations. He stabilized his mind, dismissed the steward, and turned to the princess and said:

"It's urgent! You and the waiter should leave from the secret passage immediately, and then go to Rongguo Mansion to ask for asylum."

The princess was also anxious at this time. She stepped forward and grabbed her husband's sleeves and asked, "It's now time. Will Rongguo Mansion take us in?"

"Don't worry, Rongguo Gong Jia Daishan owed me a big favor back then. Now it's time for them to repay their kindness."

"Father, if the other party turns his back and refuses to acknowledge you, there is nothing we can do!"

"Haha, I have arranged people outside. If they turn against you and sacrifice you, in a few days everyone in the capital will know about the dirty things that Rongguo Mansion has done."

The princess shook her head, feeling a little unsafe. Would the other party take the risk of resisting Jia Rui for the sake of reputation?
"There is no other way now. We can only treat a dead horse as a living horse. You still have a chance of survival when you go to Rongguo Mansion. If you stay in our palace, you will definitely die." King Gongshun said very helplessly.

"Then my lord, please come with us!" the princess said anxiously.

"If I'm gone, they will definitely search the capital aggressively, and I'm afraid you won't be able to escape either. I'll hold them off at the palace to buy you time." King Gongshun said firmly.

"Then call the boss and bring our grandson too," the princess said anxiously. "We don't have time now. If we go to find the boss, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave. You two just take care of yourselves and leave quickly."

The second prince knew that the matter was urgent and he had no time to fuss around here. He quickly took his mother and left the Gongshun Palace through the small tunnel in the flower hall.

After the princess and the second prince left, King Gongsun tidied his clothes and walked out of the flower hall to the front hall.

As soon as he stood firm, he saw Qin Shun burst in with hundreds of guards armed with swords and guns.

King Gongshun looked at Lao Li with a sarcastic smile on his face.

"Eunuch Qin, what kind of wind brings you here to me?"

Qin Shun raised his head and looked at King Gong Shun, then asked the guards behind him to stop temporarily, and he slowly walked in front of King Gong Shun.

"You have guessed what happened to the prince. Don't make things difficult for me. Just go with me."

King Gongshun shook his head and said: "Without the emperor's decree, no one can take me away."

Qin Shun looked at the naive and respectful king with amusement. Now the little emperor's imperial edict was of no use, and the whole world was looking at their master's handwriting.

"Your Majesty, since you are so ignorant, don't blame me for being violent."

After saying this, Qin Shun took a step back, then waved his hand, and the guards and eunuchs behind him rushed up.

King Gongshun stood there and did not move until he saw these eunuchs and eunuchs armed with swords and guns rushed in front of him. He smiled slightly and then lightly snapped his fingers.

At this moment, a red cloud jumped down from the rafters.

Immediately afterwards there was a burst of black energy, scurrying around.

The guards who came up were startled and immediately retreated.

However, although the guards retreated, the eunuchs who followed Qin Shun did not retreat, but instead moved forward bravely.

Immediately afterwards, the black energy surged into the bodies of these eunuchs, and after that, the bodies of these eunuchs seemed to make the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling.

Lao Li saw clearly from behind that the red cloud that fell beside King Gongshun turned out to be a red-robed Taoist priest.

The red-robed Taoist priest pulled the sleeve of King Gongshun and said, "Your Majesty, the path will protect you and kill you."

An ant is greedy for life, let alone a respectful king.

With the Taoist priest's words, King Gongshun nodded quickly. The Taoist priest supported King Gongshun and waved the peach wood sword in his hand, exuding all kinds of black energy and rushing out through the path opened by this black energy.

Qin Shun, who had been standing there watching, became angry at this time. He turned into a stream of light and went straight towards the red-robed Taoist priest.

The eunuchs who followed Qin Shun practiced the evil-fighting swordsmanship given by Jia Rui, but Lao Li and Qin Shun practiced the entire Sunflower Book.

Now Qin Shun was exerting all his strength, and all he saw was that the sword in his hand was like a cold light that enveloped the red-robed Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest was also shocked. He did not expect that there was such a kung fu in the world. This was completely beyond his understanding of martial arts.

You must know that kung fu in this world relies on talent and learning skills.

However, Qin Shun's physical skills have exceeded the limits of human beings. Each of his swords is as heavy as a thousand pounds, and the sword is also mixed with unparalleled masculine power.
