Jiang Yuanshu looked stern, thinking, not only did Zong Ruoan not know about it, but even the main person in charge of her cleansing plan just found out about it.
Because this was a sudden idea of their immediate superior, it only took ten minutes to convince His Majesty the Emperor and obtain a handwritten edict, and the effect was surprisingly good.
But she would not tell Zong Ruoan about this.
It was obvious that Zong Ruoan thought differently from them.
Jiang Yuanshu said calmly, "The Fan family has committed countless crimes, and they've been rooted on Guiyuan Star for nearly a thousand years. If we don't act with lightning speed to eliminate the main branch, are we going to stay and slowly fight them? Zongsi, do you have the time or energy for that?"
Zong Ruoan said, "You can't say that. Of course I know about the Fan family's crimes, but is this the right way to deal with them?"
"Fan Chengcai deserves to die, but what about Fan Chengqi? Even if our Special Security Bureau investigated him, we wouldn't find any wrongdoing. Why should he be implicated as well?"
"If we do that, how many people in this world are truly innocent? What we should do is to remove the poison from the bone and punish the past to prevent future ones, rather than catching them all in one fell swoop and expelling them directly."
"So Zongsi means that as long as Fan Chengcai is punished, Fan Bowen and Fan Chengqi can both be treated?" Jiang Yuanshu asked with interest.
Zong Ruoan pursed his lips and said, "Even if Fan Bowei and Fan Chengqi have problems, their crimes are not punishable by death, let alone stripping of their titles."
"Haha, Zongsi, this isn't something you and I can influence." Jiang Yuanshu tapped the table with his fingers and said casually, "The Emperor has already issued the decree. Do you still want him to revoke it?"
Zong Ruoan suddenly laughed and said leisurely, "It's not impossible. Don't forget, this is a constitutional monarchy. The king's power is no longer absolute. The Senate and the Cabinet can work together to make His Majesty retract his order."
Jiang Yuanshu said, "However, according to the Constitution, Your Majesty has the sole authority to decide on the nobility's titles."
Zong Ruoan instantly thought of Quan Yuxun. In addition to controlling the Quan Mining Company, the Quan family also had considerable influence in the cabinet and the Senate.
Especially in the legal field.
More than five hundred years ago, the cabinet, the military and the Senate joined forces to bargain with the royal family, forcing the then emperor to agree to constitutional monarchy and successfully seizing a lot of power from the royal family.
Now, can they just sit back and watch the emperor take his share of the power he had divided?
The Quan family should be his biggest help in this matter, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that it would be difficult to form an alliance with the Quan family this time.
Because the person who got into trouble was Quan Caiwei, the only daughter of this generation of the Quan family.
Put yourself in their shoes. If it was his daughter from the Zong family who was humiliated by the Fan family, even if he didn't add insult to injury, he would never help the Fan family.
Not to mention the chief Quan Yuxun Quan who is good at the "nuclear smile".
As for that truly ruthless person, probably only Inspector Huo Yushen from their Special Security Bureau could compete with him.
Zong Ruoan had seventeen or eighteen thoughts in an instant, but none of them could turn the tide.
He did not dwell on it and immediately figured out the whole plan.
I could only sigh deeply and endure it.
He said, "Alright, I admit defeat on this one. I was inconsiderate. I should have taken Fan Chengcai into the Special Security Bureau's custody sooner, and we wouldn't have caused such a big mess."
If Fan Chengcai had been taken away and detained earlier, he would not have had the idea and would not have had the opportunity to break into Quan Caiwei's bedroom at night.
Nor would he be shot dead by the Quan clan's secret guards, giving others a reason to attack the entire Fan clan...
In other words, the biggest handle in this game was given by Zong Ruoan himself.
Jiang Yuanshu didn't say anything. She looked at Zong Ruoan meaningfully and thought to herself, this Zong Si is still one step behind.
So they are all just chess pieces, and the Fan family is not even a chess piece, but can only be regarded as a chessboard.
The people who actually played chess took into account not only the Quan family, the cabinet, the military, and the major aristocratic forces, but even the emperor's reaction.
Don’t you have any idea who is the dominant one?
…
Zong Ruoan came out of Jiang Yuanshu's Hawk fighter and stood under the big tree on the grass in front of the small building, watching the Quan family's large aircraft soar into the sky and leave Guiyuan Star.
Quan's private interstellar spaceship has been quietly docked in the interstellar terminal Tiangang on Guiyuan Star, waiting to take this large aircraft away.
Xia Chujian walked past him and returned to his team's aircraft.
The group happily watched Quan Caiwei leave.
How can this be called a noble lady?
This is clearly a walking Beichen coin!
Xia Chujian now has a very good impression of Quan Caiwei.
She said to her teammates happily, "... Caiwei agreed that if she needs to kill someone next time, she'll just come to us and she'll pay double the price!"
Teammates: “…”
It sounded like something was wrong, but they were happy to hear the double premium.
Ye Shijie's mouth twitched, and he said, "Okay, let's go back to Mulan City. Today happens to be New Year's Eve, so we can still celebrate the festival at home."
Song Mingqian immediately said, "Let's go to the Exotic Beast Forest outside Mulan City and get some black truffle wild rhino pork and unicorn beef, right? Didn't we agree to spend New Year's Eve at Aunt Xia's house?"
He has been longing for wild rhino pork buns for a long time.
Ping Qiong reluctantly withdrew her gaze from Quan's large aircraft. Just then, she heard about the black truffle and wild rhinoceros, and she almost drooled.
"That's right! I don't even have to explain to my family! I told them I was on a business trip and wouldn't be home until tomorrow!"
Ye Shijie also nodded: "It just so happens that this aircraft is fast, so we can go to the Exotic Beast Forest."
