Chapter 187: Cutting the Grass at Its Roots
Soon the person was brought out, and the smile on Xie Yu's face disappeared. He left with his people.
But I was completely confused.
He didn't need to come here in person, but he came here in person because he knew that they might not release him.
I didn't expect that the patrol battalion commander He Xi would be so easy to talk to.
Now it feels like the two sides are like brother departments.
Is there some conspiracy?
He will have to examine it carefully after he returns.
He Xi also withdrew his gaze from Xie Yu who was leaving.
Turned and walked towards the training ground.
Vice General Wang followed behind him, "General, what does the Lord mean..."
Deputy General Wang is rather honest and always acts in a methodical manner.
He Xi said calmly, "Can't you see what the lord means?"
Deputy General Wang really couldn't tell.
According to the rules, those people should be tried by the Privy Council first.
If it involves military secrets, it would be a big deal.
Why was he taken away directly to the Criminal Department?
"This matter is led by Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Ministry of Justice, and we are just cooperating. Doesn't the deputy general understand what cooperation means?" He Xi frowned.
He Xi then gave another instruction: "From now on, if you can give some face to the people on Her Royal Highness' side, please give them some face."
Deputy General Wang scratched his head and said, "Yes, I understand."
Although He Xi had never had much interaction with the Ministry of Justice, he also disliked Xie Yu, a cunning man.
There are also rumors that Xie Yu got his current position because he offered himself to Her Royal Highness the Princess.
But it must be said that Xie Yu has indeed made great contributions to the Ministry of Justice in recent years.
This time, before leaving the capital, the master had instructed that if the princess made any move, the patrol camp would fully cooperate.
And make sure to ensure the safety of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
If not for this, he wouldn't want to have any further contact with people like Xie Yu.
In late autumn, the wind was cold and the leaves were rustling. Throughout the autumn, the capital seemed to be filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere.
But for the people in the capital, it seems to have no impact.
This is just a game of power, with all parties competing and the winner will be the king and the loser will be the villain.
The people still had to do what they were supposed to do. Even the city was closed and the army's daily inspections had no impact on their daily lives.
However, some people who were concerned about the current situation began to worry whether Xiling would rebel because of this.
"Don't worry, don't forget, our Privy Council Commander, Lord Xiao, is a god of war! Have you forgotten how our Lord Xiao conquered four countries in three days?"
"That's right. The four kingdoms back then are now just the four counties of Daxia."
"It's not like our Lord Xiao can't lift a knife!"
"That's right. Moreover, how could our wise and powerful Princess Zhaohua allow Xiling to cause chaos?!"
"The father and son of Xuanping Hou are truly audacious..."
…
Su Changxue, disguised as an ordinary citizen, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
His eyes also darkened a little.
During the two days that Lu Chenzhou was detained, Lin Zhaoyue did not go to see him.
But I heard from his subordinates that Lu Chenzhou has always wanted to see her.
Lin Zhaoyue ignored it and just asked the Criminal Department to strengthen the prison guards.
On the fifth day of Lu Chenzhou's imprisonment, the empress dowager passed away.
Before the Queen Mother died, she left a letter of confession, admitting that she had killed the Queen.
Everyone in the court was shocked. The Empress was actually killed by the Queen Mother? ! !
The emperor was furious and immediately ordered his men to grind the empress dowager's bones into dust.
The Empress Dowager's mother's family, Cheng'en Gong, was also implicated and the house was searched within a day. All direct descendants were thrown into death row, and all collateral descendants were exiled thousands of miles away.
Although everyone felt that the emperor was too heavily involved with the empress dowager's mother's family.
But no one dared to say anything.
After all, everyone knows His Majesty's feelings for the late Queen. The fact that the Queen has passed away for so many years but he has not appointed another Queen is a clear indication of this.
When Lin Zhaoyue learned the news of the empress dowager's death, she had already expected it.
But I didn’t expect that the Empress Dowager’s maternal family would also be punished so harshly.
She smiled and said, "Father is just helping to clean up the in-laws, but...if this happens, I'm afraid your reputation as a benevolent ruler will be ruined."
She walked slowly along the bridge corridor, her eyes also looking at the fish swimming in the pond.
"However, whether a ruler is benevolent or not has never been a matter of concern to the government or the people. If he treats the people well, he is benevolent; if he treats the people badly, he is unbenevolent."
Feng Mian also followed behind her, "Over the years, Duke Cheng'en has accumulated quite a few disciples. Although they don't have much contact openly, they still interact privately."
Lin Zhaoyue nodded. "I'm afraid Father's actions are related to this matter. Moreover, their family already has a close relationship with the Lu family. It's right to eliminate the roots."
Feng Mian followed and stopped beside her, "Then Your Highness, do those disciples need to be warned?"
Feng Mian's subordinates have been monitoring the movements of all officials, so he knows exactly who these officials are and what they have done.
Sometimes, people who are not convenient to execute through open means are also executed by Feng Mian's subordinates.
"No need for that. When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. They will soon find new backers for themselves." Lin Zhaoyue said calmly.
Feng Mian nodded.
Mingxi also followed behind, but did not speak.
Lin Zhaoyue stopped on the bridge corridor and said, "Get ready. The next show is about to begin."
Feng Mian nodded, "Yes."
After he finished speaking, Feng Mian stepped back to do his work.
After Feng Mian left, Ming Xi was the only one left by her side.
"Tell me, what is this scene about?" Lin Zhaoyue curled her lips and looked at the fish swimming in the water.
I couldn't help but suddenly become curious. If Mingxi were a mermaid, I wonder what she would look like.
Since it has lived on land for thousands of years, I wonder if it will turn into the mermaid in the water.
Mingxi naturally knew that His Highness was asking her this question.
"Your Highness is waiting for Su Changxue to come to you on his own."
Lin Zhaoyue raised an eyebrow, "Continue."
Ming Xi lowered her eyes and looked at the ripples on the water surface caused by the wind. "She is also waiting for Lu Chenzhou to escape from prison."
Lin Zhaoyue just chuckled, "Mingxi, you have to remember that Su Changxue is a smart man, no less intelligent than you and me."
Mingxi was puzzled.
Lin Zhaoyue's eyes flashed with a gleam of light: "So, he always knew what to do. Make the smartest choice..."
Ming Xi frowned slightly, and there seemed to be a vague guess in his mind.
But if this speculation is true...
That……
Your Highness, this is too scary.
But this horror did not bring him fear, but an almost obsessive admiration and excitement.
Just thinking about the possibility.
His blood began to boil...
It was the seventh day after Lu Chenzhou was imprisoned.
A fire broke out in the Criminal Department. A group of top masters broke in and kidnapped Lu Chenzhou, leaving no trace.
Princess Zhaohua was so furious about this incident that it is said that she even overturned several tables.
The emperor immediately ordered the arrest and sent out the palace masters to capture the fugitive Lu Chenzhou.
[Awesome, worthy of being Su Changxue, she hid it well enough]
[Shenli Valley is quite powerful]
[The prison guards are so tight that not even a fly can get in, how can they take people away?]
[But isn't the princess just waiting for the prison break? Why is she guarding it so strictly?]
"Are you stupid? Are you going to tell them: Yes, this is my plan, come and break the prison!"
【……】
Lin Zhaoyue, who was rumored to have overturned several tables, was on her way to the imperial tomb at this time.
