"I was worried that this thing would end badly! Now it seems that my worries were unnecessary!..."

"That's right! We are a prestigious family that has stood firm since the Immortal Boat set sail!"

"He's just a Jing Yuan, what dare he do to us?"

"Hey! The trial at the Divine Strategy Palace is just a formality!"

"Does he really dare to interfere in our family affairs? What a joke!..."

"This kid Lingmin is so ignorant!"

"But what's the result?"

"Isn't it just that big things are reduced to small things, and small things are reduced to nothing?..."

"I think, after this is over, I have to teach this brat a lesson!..."

However, unlike the arrogance within the family, the voices of the onlookers on Xianzhou's online space were filled with disappointment and helplessness:

"Oh, I was hoping I could continue to eat the big melon later this time, why is it suddenly not made public?"

"Could it be that this Divine Strategy Mansion was opened for their family?!"

"Hurry! You! You!"

"Stop! Stop! . . . . "

"Be careful they might invite you for tea!"

"Yeah! They're starting to delete posts now!"

"The comment I just posted was gone in less than three seconds! No one was allowed to speak at all!"

"It seems... this matter will come to nothing..."

"I guess by then they'll punish themselves by drinking three cups, and this matter will be over..."

"Ugh……"

Although the public opinion of the Xianzhou people was full of criticism, the guards sent by Jing Yuan seemed to be achieving great results!

Xiaowei's investigation found that Lingyun's family not only secretly built a device that was suspected to be a Qiongguan Array in the science and technology park.

They also carried out money laundering activities involving huge amounts of money in Luofu to cover up their illegal activities.

What is even more shocking is that some members of their family are suspected of reselling Xianzhou technology assets!

They colluded with interstellar forces and illegally sold some of the core technologies of the formation!

This incident has seriously threatened the safety and technical secrets of Luofu Fairy Boat!

When the person in charge of Xiaowei's operation handed a thick stack of evidence to Jing Yuan, even though it was against the rules, his face turned pale and he said to Jing Yuan impatiently:

"General! The things these families have done are simply too numerous to list!"

"General, please make a quick decision! Eradicate them completely!"

"Every time they exist in the Immortal Boat, the loss to the Immortal Boat's interests will be even greater!"

"If I don't solve this stubborn problem, I won't be able to eat or sleep well!"

Jing Yuan lowered his head and flipped through the evidence, without a trace of superfluous expression between his brows.

He tapped the table lightly, thought for a moment, and said coldly:

"The Art of War says: Hold it in, but do not reveal it; draw it, but do not fire it; the momentum is like a drawn crossbow, the timing is like a trigger..."

"Let's just let them run rampant for a while..."

73

Chapter 73: Peace lasts for a long time, and the civil and military are at peace.

"General!?"

After hearing Jing Yuan's words, the guard's voice was filled with suppressed anger. If Jing Yuan wasn't a general, he would have almost lost his temper on the spot!

Isn't that a mistake?!

Now the situation is like a flying dragon is about to hit your face!

We just go A and win!

But why is the general still hesitating?

Could it be that the long period of peace, the leisure of the civil and military, and the decadent life in the Shen Ce Mansion have completely made Jing Yuan lose his former courage?

As if sensing the doubts of his trusted guard, Jing Yuan smiled calmly and then patiently explained to him:

"I understand your dissatisfaction..."

"But what I'm thinking of may be a little different from what you think..."

"The general is serious!"

The guard's face changed slightly, and he quickly lowered his head to control his emotions.

Jing Yuan waved his hand, stood up, faced the sky outside the window, and said slowly:

"If I were to make an analogy, the family at this moment is like an ancient city!"

"Since ancient times, when sieging circular fortifications, there has always been a saying: surround three sides and leave one side open..."

"Firstly, this will leave them with a glimmer of hope and prevent them from being forced into a desperate situation where they will have to fight to the death!"

"After all, if their family really wants to fight back desperately, it may still affect the stability of the entire Luofu!"

"Secondly, this also gives those in their family who haven't been deeply involved in evil and can still turn back a chance."

"The Immortal Boat has always been particular about treating its own people, always punishing past mistakes to prevent future ones, and curing illnesses to save lives!"

"Some people were forced to rely on their family and act as their white gloves because of their family's former power."

"And some people just put their names there..."

"General! Are you saying that we should conduct a detailed screening of the members of their family?"

Xiaowei asked thoughtfully.

"That's right!"

Jing Yuan turned around and said in a deep voice:

"Our principle this time should be to punish only the main culprit and show leniency to the rest!"

"Otherwise, if we really continue to act cruelly, in the end, it will be the power of the Immortal Boat itself that will be lost..."

Upon hearing this, the doubts in the guard's heart gradually dissipated, and what remained was a sudden enlightenment.

He then clasped his fists, bowed his head and said to Jing Yuan:

"I will teach you a lesson! The general's foresight is beyond our reach!"

Jing Yuan saw that the guard understood his painstaking efforts and nodded with satisfaction. After that, he pondered for a moment and said in an unquestionable tone:

"In that case, pass on my orders!"

"Have the guards involved in the operation shift their focus to finding those members of the family who haven't been deeply involved in the evil yet and still have a chance to turn back!"

"And sort those people!"

“What can be fought for, what can be utilized, and what is incurable!”

"Give me a complete list!"

"My subordinate understands!"

After hearing the order, Xiaowei left quickly.

Then he began to mobilize manpower and adjust the direction of the investigation according to Jing Yuan's instructions...

……

And on the other hand.

Because Lingmin's lawsuit against the family was transferred to Shen Ce Mansion.

Therefore, both parties involved were naturally invited to a conference room in Shen Ce Mansion.

Ling Min naturally came in person, while the family sent a few representatives to go through the motions...

As soon as both parties sat down, the family representatives confronted Lingmin, and the situation was very tense for a while.

Afterwards, one of the representatives noticed that Jing Yuan himself had not arrived yet, so he pointed directly at Qing Cu, who was sent by Jing Yuan to receive them, and said in an impatient tone:

"Hey! You! You!"

"Where is General Jingyuan?!"

"For such a serious matter, why would you send a subordinate like you to fool us?..."

Qingchu smiled slightly, trying to make his voice sound gentle and polite:

"General Jingyuan is so busy with his duties that he can't get away!"

"So the general specifically entrusted me to mediate!"

"Busy?"

The family representative sneered, his tone full of mockery.

"What's so important that you're too busy?"

"If you're so busy, why don't you just invite us?"

"Yes! What else is there to mediate?"

Another representative echoed, "Let this guy apologize to us, and everything will be fine, right?"

Before Qingchu could reply, Lingmin could no longer tolerate it. He slammed the table and stood up:

"You old bastard! Who are you asking to apologize?!"

"You are the ones who made the mistake first! You should apologize to me!"

"What?!……"

The atmosphere in the conference room exploded instantly, both sides glared at each other, and quarrels broke out one after another.

Qingchu stood aside, his forehead twitching slightly, feeling that he had been completely ignored.

But after a while, both sides suddenly turned their attention to Qingchu.

"What are you watching here?"

"Hurry up and call Jing Yuan over to me!"

"Your rank is too low! Call someone who can take charge!"

Qingchu tried his best to suppress the urge to roll his eyes and showed a stiff smile:

"Everyone, please be patient!"

"I'll... I'll go get the general over here..."

After leaving the meeting room, Qingchu trotted all the way to Jingyuan's office.

As soon as she opened the door, she said indignantly:

"General! Excuse me, did you send me here specifically to be scolded?"

Jing Yuan was looking down at a list. He raised his head and raised the corner of his mouth slightly:

"In the past, the ancients had the saying that one should swallow one's own wounds!"

"It's just a few scoldings now, why do you take it seriously?"

But Qing Cu laughed in anger when he heard this:

"General, since you are so well-mannered, why don't you go and take the blame yourself?"

"They both want you to go now! What do you think we should do?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan shook his head like a rattle:

"No! My battlefield is not here!"
