"What, what's going on?" Cai Tingzhou shouted, "Who are you?"
While asking the question, he turned his head and looked outside the mansion.
There were two groups of men in tight-fitting clothes outside the mansion.
One of the groups was dressed in black, just like the men in black robes in the mansion. They suddenly panicked, "Have you surrounded this mansion long ago?"
"Prime Minister Cai guessed right."
After Leng Ying finished speaking, he quickly walked out of the house and bowed to Fu Ciyi.
"Your Highness, the entire Cai Mansion is under our control. Please give us your instructions."
"Very good." Fu Ciyi's voice was flat. "Cai Tingzhou sold official positions and titles, and had long been colluding with Long Yaodong and his ilk, enriching himself and taking human lives with impunity. The two Cai women, as Long Yaodong's concubines, are suspected of complicity in treason. The three courts will determine their punishments. The rest of the Cai family will also be imprisoned and sentenced according to their crimes." He paused slightly, his gaze falling on Cai Mingzhi. "This man is dissolute and has committed all kinds of evil. He will be severely punished."
"Yes, Your Highness." Leng Feng and Leng Ying took the lead in responding.
Someone immediately tied Cai Tingzhou up.
"I refuse to accept this." Cai Tingzhou struggled, kicking his legs. "Little Prince Rui, how dare you treat me like this?"
"I come here on the orders of the Emperor," Fu Ciyi said solemnly, "I come here on the orders of my uncle and father, the late Emperor. Do you think I am being too kind to you?"
Upon hearing this, Cai Tingzhou's face turned pale.
The late emperor once took away his position as the chief minister of the cabinet.
It was the order of the late emperor to purge Long Yaodong’s rebel faction.
He is indeed inseparable from Long Yaodong.
Now, the new emperor also wants to arrest him. You must know that the new emperor's throne is not stable yet. He dares to arrest him like this. Isn't he afraid of arousing the anger of the civil officials?
Fu Ciyi guessed what Cai Tingzhou was thinking, and his voice became deeper: "Prime Minister Cai, don't worry about whether Dajing has enough civil officials."
What he meant was that all civil officials related to Cai Tingzhou would be dealt with.
Cai Tingzhou placed his last hope on Old Master Ling who was standing not far behind him: "Old Master, please save our Cai family."
Old Master Ling said, "Prime Minister Cai should confess his guilt. This way, he will receive less punishment. Of course, Prime Minister Cai has committed many evil deeds. If he had known this would happen, he would not have done so in the first place. But Prime Minister Cai was very arrogant back then, and I think he has enjoyed it enough now."
"You, you old thing." Cai Tingzhou shouted, "Does Prince Rui know that old thing Ling wants to rebel?"
Fu Ciyi pretended not to know and turned to look at Old Master Ling calmly: "Really?"
Old Master Ling's knees softened, and he knelt down immediately. "What Prime Minister Cai said is absurd. In fact, Prime Minister Cai is inviting me to rebel. How could I have the guts to do that? I am old, what else can I do? I only hope that Dajing will be peaceful and prosperous, and that the people will live in harmony."
"High-sounding and hypocritical!" Cai Tingzhou cursed, "Bah! Sly old fellow!"
At this moment, Cai Mingzhi shouted, "Your Highness Prince Rui, spare my life! My father and sister deserve this, and I didn't do anything wrong!"
Old Master Ling smiled and said, "Prime Minister Cai, listen to this! Your son admits that you deserved it."
"My sister and father are plotting a rebellion, and together with the Ling family, they're trying to ally with Prince Chi," Cai Mingzhi said loudly. "I didn't expect Prince Chi to be so upright. Prince Chi, please speak a few words for me!"
Old Master Ling broke out in a cold sweat and cursed Cai Mingzhi in his heart as a good-for-nothing.
He was actually dragged in as well.
Such a coward will betray his own people.
But he couldn't say anything at the moment. It was impossible for Prince Chi to rebel. The Cai family was gone, and it was unlikely that his Ling family and the Lou family would be able to accomplish anything.
At present, conspiracy to rebel is not allowed.
It's time to protect your home.
Long Chi'an smiled faintly and said to Cai Mingzhi, "The Cai family is truly blessed to have you."
Cai Mingzhi was anxious and blurted out, "Cai Mushi also said that the Ling and Cai families, together with Prince Chi, had seized the world. By then, the world would be divided into three parts. She would become a princess and I would be the crown prince. I don't want to be some unrealistic crown prince. I just want to survive. Cai Mushi is jealous of Princess Rui, so she wants to kill her. Cai Mushi planted a spy next to His Royal Highness Prince Rui. When she found out that Princess Rui was pregnant, she wanted to stab her in the belly with a dagger. Your Royal Highness Prince Rui, I have told you everything. Please let me go!"
The conversation was so urgent that saliva was flying everywhere.
Since he was tied up and thrown on the ground, he could only kowtow to the ground and beg.
Fu Ciyi didn't even glance at him, and said coldly, "Before we rigorously interrogate Cai Mingzhi, let's first depower him."
"No, no castration, I don't want to be cleansed." Cai Mingzhi shouted and shook his head, "I don't want to be a eunuch."
Long Chi'an walked over slowly and said, "Think about what you were about to do. King Rui is a vindictive man. You provoked him, and this is a light fate."
Fu Ciyi took the opportunity to continue the conversation: "Yes, this king will never forget his revenge."
Hearing this, Long Chi'an choked.
This kid was obviously warning him as well.
Come on, he didn't do anything excessive.
Even if he wanted to, he couldn't do anything excessive.
He really likes Fu Ning and doesn't want to hurt her in the slightest.
Thinking of this, his eyes looked fixedly at Yan Fu.
Yan Funing was watching the embarrassed and cunning Cai Tingzhou, Cai Mingzhi, and Old Master Ling in front of her. Just when she felt someone's gaze shift towards her and she was about to turn her head...
Long Chi'an quickly looked away.
Fu Ciyi saw his action.
His eyes instantly turned cold, and the warning doubled.
"Alright, take everyone from the Cai family away." Fu Ciyi looked away and looked around. "The Cai family mansion will be sealed immediately, and a date will be chosen to search and confiscate the property."
After saying that, he took Yan Funing's hand and left.
"Wait for me." Long Chi'an chased after him.
Cai Mushi, lying on the ground, stared at them as they walked away, her eyes seemed to be filled with poison.
"It's all your fault, you bitch." Cai Mingzhi spat at Cai Mushi, "Without your obsession and conspiracy, how could we have ended up like this?"
"You're not much better!" Cai Tingzhou shouted, turning to look at Cai Mushi, "Mushi, what's wrong with you? Say something quickly."
"How can she speak after her lower jaw was removed?" Cai Mingzhi trembled all over at the thought of castration.
Over there, three people walked away.
Fu Ciyi sneered: "What am I waiting for you for?"
Long Chi'an smiled faintly: "Fu Ning said she wanted to treat me, and I thought it would be better to do it today than today."
"Your intentions..." Fu Ciyi didn't want to continue.
Long Chi'an quickly stated, "I told you to think of other options. I'd be heartbroken if Fu Ning wanted to take my heart's blood, and I definitely wouldn't let her do it."
"Long Chi'an, you said you felt sorry for my wife in front of me, what do you mean?"
"That's exactly what it means, Long Wenyu. Don't overthink it."
"hehe……"
Fu Ciyi's face darkened, the corners of his lips twitched, and he looked extremely unhappy.
"Don't sneer, no matter what. It's creepy." Long Chi'an smiled warmly, "Look at me, my smile is prettier than yours."
Seeing them like this, Yan Funing couldn't help but wonder, "I wonder if you two also quarreled when you were little?"
