Chapter 327 Should the Yang Family Die?

In the study, Old Man Hong handed Qin Chi a secret letter.

It was a secret letter stuffed by the young eunuch.

Qin Chi asked people to keep an eye on the Yuan and Yang families.

Old Ghost Yuan suddenly submitted a secret memorial, especially since his Yuan family was under attack from all sides and on the verge of collapse, this secret memorial must be crucial.

Qin Chi really wanted to know the content.

But it is not easy to know such things in the palace.

Unexpectedly, the secret letter handed over by Old Man Hong was exactly the content of Old Ghost Yuan’s secret report.

"This Minister Yuan should not be underestimated."

Qin Chi still thought that the Yuan family had no chance of turning things around, "This move of his is really vicious."

What emperors have always feared and hated the most is the officials under them forming cliques for personal gain.

The Yuan family was blocked.

The one who was in dispute with the Yuan family was the Yang family. If the Yuan family was in such a miserable state, most people would believe it was the work of the Yang family. However, who had ever seen such a powerful Yang family?

The Yang family attracted the fear of others.

What would Emperor Mingcheng think?

Old Man Hong nodded in agreement, "Old Yuan has never been a good guy. If he insists on dragging the Yang family down with him, the Yang family will not be able to get away with it. You know, there is still one person imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice prison."

After saying that, Old Man Hong glanced at Qin Chi obscurely.

The young are to be feared, but he doesn't say it.

Who in the outside world knew that the person pushing all this behind the scenes was actually the young man with the cold eyes in front of them.

There was no Qin Chi to interfere.

It is estimated that the Yang and Yuan families are still keeping to themselves for now.

Qin Chi folded the secret letter and held it above the oil lamp on the desk. The small flame ignited the letter, and when it was two-thirds burned, he threw it into the brazier at his feet.

"The Yang family is suspected to have the help of the former crown prince." Qin Chi thought of the master behind Yang Ge Lao, "The other party will not easily let the Yang family get into trouble. Uncle Hong, among the people who surfaced to help the Yang family this time, there must be the former crown prince's influence."

Exactly how much is yet to be known.

Qin Chi handed the investigation of the matter over to Old Man Hong.

After some discussion.

Qin Chi added: "I want to take my wife back to Huizhou."

"Madam, you shouldn't be tired from traveling by boat or by train." Old Man Hong disagreed.

Qin Chi sighed, "I can't stay in the capital for too long, we can take our time on the road. However, we just need to let the people in the mansion make preparations and let people know. We can use this opportunity to prepare for a few more days, but it doesn't mean we have to set off immediately."

"I understand."

Old Man Hong understood the implicit meaning.

That is to create a false impression, and first let the servants pack their bags and prepare things for the family to return home.

Qin Chi didn't know at this time.

The secret memorial written by Yuan Shang was extremely powerful.

Admiral Feng was kneeling in front of Emperor Ming Cheng, his back wet with sweat and big beads of sweat dripping from his forehead. Not only did he not dare to reach out to wipe the sweat, he didn't even dare to move.

"You are quite capable."

Emperor Mingcheng sneered, "With just one sentence, you can make the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture change the place where the prisoner was originally scheduled to be sent to work. How come I don't know when I gave you this power?"

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. It was my fault."

Admiral Feng was so frightened that his face turned pale and he kowtowed repeatedly.

Emperor Mingcheng asked again: "Who is behind you?"

"Your Majesty, I am your servant and have always been loyal to you. This time, I was tempted by a ghost and thought that changing the place of work was not a big deal and I could get some benefits..."

Admiral Feng was unable to continue.

A hard object hit his forehead, and he screamed in pain.

The next moment, his head was broken and bleeding.

Emperor Mingcheng grabbed the ruler on the table and smashed it, "Tell me the truth."

"Your Majesty, please spare my life! I am telling the truth. I am just a little greedy for money and have never done anything to betray Your Majesty. I would rather die than betray Your Majesty."

Admiral Feng kowtowed and begged for mercy.

While begging for mercy, he said, "I have always been loyal to Your Majesty, as the sun and the moon can attest."

"roll!"

Emperor Mingcheng raised his hand and said, "Throw him into the Imperial Prison."

The Jinyiwei guards standing by responded in unison, and two of them stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right, dragging Admiral Feng out.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

When Admiral Feng wanted to beg for mercy again, someone directly removed Admiral Feng's jaw.

Suddenly, the hall became quiet.

Admiral Feng's secretive behavior made Emperor Mingcheng suspicious of Yang Ge Lao. When Yang Ge Lao entered the palace that day, his behavior was covert but he did not escape the investigation of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

If Admiral Feng were to speak up about Lord Yang.

Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty was probably not that suspicious. According to what was written in the secret report, Yang Ge Lao was asked by Liu Bingzheng to help Liu Bingzheng's son.

Liu Bing was the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau. How come he didn't know about the relationship between the Yang and Liu families before?

"The Imperial Hospital, the Imperial Household Department, the Yang family? Ha!"

Emperor Mingcheng sneered at the news reported by the Jinyiwei investigation.

In the past, the relationship with Concubine Shu, coupled with the fact that the Yang family had never sent any daughter of the Yang family into the palace, was very different from some ministers who tried their best to send their daughters or granddaughters into the palace. This made Emperor Mingcheng trust the Yang family very much and was very tolerant of them.

The appearance of the sandalwood box.

This broke Emperor Mingcheng's favorable impression of the Yang family.

Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty did not do nothing.

A few days ago, he ordered people to lock up the old palace maid who served Concubine Shu in the past in a secluded place. Emperor Mingcheng dismissed his attendants and interrogated her personally.

A palace maid committed suicide by hitting her head against the wall.

Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty coldly ordered his men to drag the bodies out and ordered an investigation of the deceased's family members and clansmen and to execute them all.

This move shocked the people behind him and they dared not hide anything anymore.

Four of Concubine Shu's maids had been buried alive with her. Those who are still alive today know very little about her, but one of them, an old maid who tended to the flowers and plants, had seen Concubine Shu standing under the peach tree, looking unhappy several times.

Another palace maid said that Concubine Shu was difficult to serve, had a gloomy and unstable temper, and would shut the door and beat and scold the palace maids when she was angry. She never hit people in the face, but only in places where others could not see. She never made people kneel outside as punishment, but made them kneel inside the house with a bowl of water on their heads. She could not sprinkle water, and she would be whipped every time she sprinkled water.

The palace maid knew that she would die today, so she spoke without hesitation.

Emperor Ming Cheng knew the answer.

All the palace maids who had served Concubine Shu were sentenced to death.

As if he knew nothing, Emperor Mingcheng continued his daily routine. He wanted to clean up the Yang family, but he would not bring up the fact that Concubine Shu had an adulterer, as this was related to a man's dignity.

"I never knew that the Yang family would be so bold." Emperor Mingcheng's slightly aggressive words made all the eunuchs and palace maids in the hall lower their heads.

Emperor Mingcheng asked again: "Jixiang, tell me, should the Yang family be killed?"

Jixiang knelt down in fear and said, "Your Majesty, I don't understand these things. I only know that the world belongs to you, Your Majesty, and you have the final say on how things should be done."

"Yes, I have the final say."

Emperor Mingcheng threw the seal of the Imperial Household Department that he had taken back from Admiral Feng to Jixiang, "Take it. From now on, you will be the Admiral of the Imperial Household Department."

Jixiang received the gift from heaven and was stunned for a moment before he kowtowed to thank the emperor for his grace.
