Chapter 275: The Jun Family is Destroyed
If the Jun family had not produced a prince's concubine and the prince's concubine had not become pregnant, perhaps the Jun family could have survived.
Grand Tutor Jun sighed deeply, Jun Wushuang was the original sin, without her, the Jun family would still be the Jun family.
But he never thought that the Jun family could get away with it completely without any need to curry favor with powerful people. At most, the family would decline but would not be destroyed.
It can be seen that even a smart person can be confused for a while.
An San didn't listen to his nagging. The master's order was to destroy the Jun family and not leave a single one alive. They had to eradicate the entire family.
An San flew over with a sword and killed the two servants first, so that they wouldn't have to run out to block the knife when killing Master Jun.
“Ahhh—”
The two screams were particularly terrifying in this unusually empty place.
Master Jun was so frightened that his calves were shaking and he couldn't even run errands. He finally understood that the other party was here to kill the Jun family and would not show mercy to him.
At this moment, he clearly realized that he was no longer the emperor's imperial teacher, but just a stray dog at the mercy of others.
Master Jun sat down panting, ready to die. He wanted to die with dignity.
An San saw this and admired the old man in his heart. He was not panicked or ran away at this time.
But no matter what, he can't show any mercy. Such a person is a poisonous snake. If he doesn't die, he will definitely cause trouble in the future.
An San swung at Master Jun's neck.
“Puff!”
With a sound, Jun Taifu, who had been active in the court for decades, ended his glorious life.
The scene was a bit bloody. An San quickly searched Jun Taifu's body and found a lot of valuable things just as his master said.
The old man was indeed cunning and sly. He hid all the important things close to his body, and even sewed hundreds of thousands of taels of silver bills into his inner clothes.
An San sneered, no matter how cunning the fox was, it could not escape the hands of its master.
An San did not let go of the two servants beside Master Jun, and found a lot of things. He only left after finding nothing more.
Let their bodies lie exposed in the wilderness. I believe that tomorrow morning, at least there will be a few bones left.
On the other side, the secret guards found the Jun family members one after another. The eldest master of the Jun family, the second master of the Jun family, Madam Liu, Jun Wushuang's brothers, and cousins all died in an accident.
Half an hour later, more than a dozen people gathered at the camp. After counting their numbers, they found that all the members of the Jun family except Jun Wushuang had been killed.
Not even a single servant was let go.
Afterwards, a dozen people quickly packed up all of the Jun family's belongings, loaded them into the previous carriage, and took the bodies of the three secret guards with them, and left quickly.
An San stayed behind to clean up the mess and erase all traces of them.
Until dawn, when someone passed by here, they saw that it was a mess, with corpses scattered all over the ground, not a single intact body, and torn clothes all over the floor.
Those people were so frightened that they fainted on the spot. After they woke up, they rushed to report to the police. The officials rushed over and were horrified when they saw the bloody scene. Who could do such a cruel and inhumane thing?
The detectives sent someone back to report to the county magistrate while conducting a thorough investigation.
Afterwards, after visiting many places, we found out that it was Master Jun and his group who had camped here last night.
Everyone searched for a while but still couldn't find anyone from the Jun family. However, they did find some corpses. It seemed that all of Master Jun's family members were dead.
Since nothing valuable was found at the scene and there were signs of a struggle, the county magistrate believed that the man must have been attacked by bandits or gangsters, so he immediately wrote a memorial and sent it to the county government.
Today, Murong Li and Su Yue entered the palace as usual. As soon as they arrived at the gate of Taigan Palace, they met the cabinet minister Fu who was delivering memorials. Seeing the box of memorials, Murong Li felt a headache.
Now there are hundreds of memorials every day, some of which come from the border, and most of which are submitted from local areas.
Because of the cement incident, the people of Xifeng State knew about the wonderful uses of cement. Various places submitted petitions to the court, requesting permission to build reservoirs, warehouses, and city walls...
These memorials are like death warrants.
"Your Highness, there are several tightening measures here. I have put them all aside and prepared them for standard. Please take a look first."
Lord Fu presented the box, but showed no intention of leaving.
"Since you are here, go in and see the Emperor."
During this period, the emperor was very disappointed with those ministers and disappeared without a trace.
This gentleman was dawdling around and refusing to leave, so I knew he wanted to see the emperor.
It has been six or seven days. The ministers have not seen the emperor and must be very panicked, fearing that Murong Li is the second Murong Gan.
Lord Fu bowed with deep trepidation and said, "Thank you, Prince Li. I will go see the Emperor now."
Murong Li asked the eunuch to take him into Taigan Palace. After he had the box carried in, he followed in, paid his respects to the emperor, and went to review the memorials.
When Lord Fu saw the emperor, he saw that he was not only full of energy, but also had some flesh growing out of his face. He was no longer the skull-like face he had been a few days ago, which could scare people to death.
"Your Majesty, may your Majesty be well and safe."
The emperor smiled and said, "Get up, old man! You are afraid that I will die, so you rush here in a hurry. Look at me now. Am I much better now? Don't worry, I am fine now. I will not die. In a few days, I will be able to return to the court."
Lord Fu was overjoyed upon hearing this. He was a veteran of two dynasties and had always been neutral, loyal only to the emperor. Seeing the emperor like this, he was so happy that he burst into tears and kowtowed quickly, saying, "By the blessing of heaven, the emperor's recovery is a great blessing for the Xifeng Kingdom."
"Alright, alright, stop saying those useless words and get up and talk to me."
The emperor now particularly dislikes hearing these sour flattering words. It makes his teeth ache just by listening to them. He is still used to the way the fourth son's wife talks, which is as easy and relaxed as if she is talking to the head of the family.
"Yes, I will be right there."
Lord Fu happily stood up and came to the emperor's side. The emperor asked the eunuch to bring him a chair and let him sit down.
Lord Fu sat down without hesitation and talked with the emperor.
The emperor asked him some questions, especially about the news from Jiangnan. Although there were reports coming in every day, he still wanted to ask if there was any other situation.
Since no rescue efforts have been sent for such a long time, the emperor wants to know if there are any disaster victims wandering around or coming to the capital.
What he feared most was that victims of the disaster would come to the capital, which would add even greater burdens to the court.
When they arrive, we must set up camp and let them stay.
Once you stay there, it may take a few months or even a year, and you will need a lot of money to spend on food, clothing, and other expenses.
And this money came from the national treasury.
Anyway, he is absolutely unwilling to do anything that requires him to spend money.
