326 Killing, it's time to take action

The Wang and Xie families were powerful, but in just one day, the affair between Xiling Yaohua and Dongling Zichun became known to everyone. Xiling Tianlei was so angry that his face turned black, and Xiling Yaohua even smashed the bedroom furnishings to pieces.

The brother and sister wanted to kill the Ninth Uncle and Feng Qingchen right now. They had clearly agreed to suppress the matter, but what was the result?

As soon as the emperor's birthday was over, he exposed the matter in the form of a scandal, in order to weaken the impact of the fire in the Feng Mansion and Feng Qingchen's recovery from illness.

This is too much bullying!

Xiling Tianlei rushed into the palace immediately and asked the emperor for justice, but found that the emperor of Dongling was even more pitiful than them.

Everyone knew that the political situation in Dongling had changed. The emperor's silence was a tacit approval of this incident. Originally, the emperor planned to take this opportunity to place his own people in power, but he didn't expect...

On the second day after the emperor's birthday, the censor impeached the Nine Gates Commanders and the Imperial Guards, saying that they were unscrupulous and domineering, oppressing the people and bullying men and women. At the same time, he produced piece after piece of evidence made of blood and tears, demanding that the emperor severely punish these butchers.

Every piece of evidence presented by the Censor was well-documented, and there were countless victims. Among them, the one who committed the most evil was the Governor of the Nine Gates, the Queen's brother.

The queen's brother liked young girls. It was said that dozens of young girls were killed by him every month. These girls, who were only seven or eight years old, died tragically.

In addition, the commander of the imperial guard, whom the emperor valued most, was cruel and murderous. He seized fertile land and killed people's wives and children. Many prisoners in the prison died under his torture.

The emperor knew something about the situation of the Nine Gates Admirals and the Imperial Guards, but he still felt embarrassed when the censor revealed it like this. After all, these were all his people.

The emperor was deliberately biased, wanting to make a big deal out of a small matter, but he didn't expect that the censor was an old stubborn man. Seeing that the emperor was trying to smooth things over, he threw a stone wall in the hall and died, asking the emperor to severely punish the evil officials in the form of his death.

The emperor was furious and wanted to skin the censor alive, but he couldn't. If he did that, he would become a tyrant, and then his throne...

The Ninth Prince was watching covetously from the sidelines, and his son was already an adult. The Emperor gritted his teeth and ordered the Blood-Clothed Guards to conduct a thorough investigation.

Lu Shaolin, the commander-in-chief of the Blood-Clothed Guards, is the emperor's man. The emperor asked Lu Shaolin to investigate, which was clearly intended to cover up the matter, and also showed his appreciation for Lu Shaolin.

Although the Blood-Clothed Guards were also impeached by the Censor, Lu Shaolin was an extremely cunning person. He was so self-disciplined that he didn't even go to brothels. As for the criminal law of the Blood-Clothed Guards, it was originally agreed by the Emperor, and no matter how bold the civil and military officials were, they dared not criticize the Emperor.

Lu Shaolin took the order, but secretly wiped his sweat and thought to himself that it was a dangerous situation. Fortunately, he betrayed Feng Qingchen in the first place, otherwise his name would definitely be among the people impeached and killed by the censor today.

Although he did not oppress the people, he did a lot of things like buying and selling official positions. He was not good at that before, so he was obsessed with money and wanted to prove that he was a man by making money. Fortunately, he met Feng Qingchen and escaped this disaster.

The Emperor intended to keep the Nine-Gates Commander and the Imperial Guard Commander, but he did not expect that these two men were not up to the task. Before Lu Shaolin went to investigate, the farm where the Nine-Gates Commander placed his young daughter was picked up by someone, and hundreds of girls' bodies, all dead in tragic situations, were lined up and placed at the city gate.

This was a slap in the face, a hard slap in the face of the Emperor, the Empress and Dong Ling Zi Luo. The Emperor ordered the arrest on the spot, and the Empress fainted from anger. Prince Luo wanted to save him, but the evidence was overwhelming and the people were resentful, so he was powerless to change it.

The commander of the Imperial Guard was not in a much better situation. His family suddenly got angry and a bunch of people rushed in to put out the fire, but they found that... all four walls of his house were covered with gold bricks. Not to mention the common people, even the emperor was angry.

Damn it, the national treasury is short of money, but a small commander of the imperial guards has more money than the national treasury. Confiscate his house, confiscate his house, confiscate his house decisively.

The emperor lost two of his great generals, and was extremely worried. When he was worrying about new candidates, something unexpected happened again...

The secret accounts of Jiangnan officials were leaked out somehow, and then all the officials in Jiangnan area suffered. Jiangnan is the richest place in Dongling, and most of the officials here are the emperor's men and the princes' men.

At this moment, even a fool would understand that it was the aristocratic families who took action. The emperor was immediately furious. The aristocratic families were so bold that they actually dared to provoke him. He immediately fought back, found a fault and directly wiped out several small aristocratic families.

Nine days, just nine days, the war in the court was raging. At this time, who had the time to care about Feng Qingchen's life or death? Every adult was trembling with fear, fearing that they would become the next unlucky person if they were not careful.

The entire Dongling officialdom began to stir, and everyone was in danger. The bold ones took advantage of the situation, while the timid ones closed their doors and did not get involved in the court struggle.

The Blood-Clothed Guard prison was almost full of people, and Lu Shaolin was very busy. During this period, he was the most powerful person in the imperial city. The noble families could not find any fault with him, and he was deeply loved by the emperor for his work, so the emperor also trusted him.

Lu Shaolin knew very well that his current status was inseparable from Feng Qingchen's secret care, so he returned the favor and, in the midst of chaos, closed the case of Sun Yici's father and released the man.

There are a lot of officials who are corrupt and accept bribes. Under normal circumstances, someone would definitely be watching Sun Yi's father's resignation. But now, who dares to offend the commander-in-chief of the Blood-Clothes Guard? It would be terrible if they fell into his hands.

Although Father Sun did not suffer in the Blood-Clothed Guards, he never dreamed that he could get out of the Blood-Clothed Guards alive. When he walked out of the dark prison, Father Sun burst into tears.

Father Sun knew very well that he was able to escape from the Blood-Clothed Guards alive because of Feng Qingchen, and Feng Qingchen did this because of his daughter Sun Yijin. Perhaps Sun Yijin would never believe until her death that her enthusiasm to save people would be rewarded with such a great reward.

After nine days, Sun's father was released from prison, and the shock in the officialdom gradually subsided. Everyone tacitly agreed not to take action. The most important thing was that Feng Qingchen had received what she wanted, and she wanted to bring the matter to a close.

"Feng Qingchen, take a look and see if this is the mirror you want." Su Wenqing came personally and delivered the mirror that Feng Qingchen had commissioned him to make.

Crystal clear, smooth and flawless, the mirror clearly reflected Feng Qingchen's appearance. Feng Qingchen walked out and pointed the mirror towards the sunlight. The light sprinkled on the mirror and refracted into the door.

"The effect is very good. How many sides did you make?" Feng Qingchen nodded with satisfaction. Tomorrow is the time of the prophecy, and he can start killing people.

"A thousand faces, what's wrong? You said that as long as I can make it, this thing will belong to me and I can buy and sell it at will." Su Wenqing is a businessman. He knows the value of this mirror very well and said nervously.

Feng Qingchen rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't worry, I'm not like you. I don't care about money. You can lend me these thousand mirrors first. Of course, you also need to lend me a thousand people."

"What are you going to do?" Su Wenqing asked worriedly. Although Jiuqing had told him to cooperate with Feng Qingchen fully, Feng Qingchen was obviously not doing good deeds, and he didn't want to be implicated.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Feng Qingchen grinned: "Murder!"

Feng Qingchen flashed, refracting the light onto Su Wenqing's face...
