The emperor was like listening to a mystery. When he learned that the Seven Star Tower was related to this matter, his face was full of disbelief.
After all, the Seven Star Tower has been established for more than a hundred years. It has been the key for the emperor to sit firmly on the throne and control the world.
Of course, in his opinion, Liu Feng’s failure to catch the chief OP was the best outcome.
Because under the current circumstances, even if the main poster is caught, there is no way to deal with him.
Now the Qixinglou has given one day, so when the time is up, the Qixinglou will definitely find a scapegoat, and the matter will be over.
Even if he was a scapegoat, it didn't matter, because the emperor already knew that the Seven Star Tower had a connection with the Tiandi Society.
"After listening to you for so long, there is still one thing I don't understand."
"Since the Seven Stars Tower was involved in planning this matter."
"Then this map should be in the hands of Qixinglou. Why did it appear on the body of the dead Eunuch Yang?"
Liu Feng agreed with this. Why did he find the blueprints on Eunuch Yang? This matter was full of weirdness.
Because when Liu Feng met him, it was obvious that he was walking back from somewhere else, not leaving Beijing. This was the strangest point.
Why are maps brought back instead of taken out?
"It's not surprising that people from the Seven Stars Tower were working on a case in Yanzhou before."
"And the case they are handling this time is quite special."
"It's about the Imperial Palace. There used to be an old eunuch named Cao Teng. He was in charge of all kinds of maintenance and repairs in the Imperial Palace. He was kind of the chief eunuch."
"A few years ago, because he was old and I had just ascended the throne, I allowed him to return to his hometown to retire, considering that he had no merits but had worked hard."
"Who would have thought that a few months ago, he suddenly came to see me in the palace. He said he had received news about the Heaven and Earth Society. I was very happy and allowed him to recuperate in the palace. I also rewarded him with a lot of money."
"But half a month ago, after I returned to the palace, I heard that he had returned to his hometown, so I really didn't pay any attention to this matter anymore."
Liu Feng nodded and thought to himself.
"It seems that this old eunuch also participated in the excavation of the secret passage in the palace."
"Besides, this old eunuch was previously in charge of the palace's renovation and construction. He has a special status and is just the right person to be used."
"He left this map behind probably as a precaution, fearing that the world would destroy the bridge after crossing the river."
"This is something he uses to save his life."
"But one day, we suddenly received a report from the Seven Stars Tower that he had taken the palace's treasures before leaving."
"I also felt it was strange at the time, so I asked Qixinglou to do it."
"Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that the Seven Stars Tower got the news and knew about the existence of this map. They wanted to kill the witnesses and get the map back at the same time."
"However, I don't know who in the Seven Stars Tower did this, when they did it, or whether they were already doing it before reporting to me."
"According to the Seven Stars Tower's style of doing things, I'm afraid no one will survive."
The emperor laughed at himself after he finished speaking.
"Indeed, I have been too lenient with the Seven Stars Tower, to the point that they have almost taken control of the world."
Liu Feng grinned.
When Emperor Taizu established the Seven Stars Tower, his original intention was to supervise all officials. At that time, it was just a small institution, but with the support of successive emperors, the power of the Seven Stars Tower grew.
Taizu and Chengzu were able to control the Qixing Tower because they were unrivaled in both civil and military affairs.
I do everything myself, big or small.
But what about the emperors of later generations? Who could do everything personally, big or small?
"The Seven Stars Tower has too much power."
After hearing what Liu Feng said, the emperor did not refute or speak. It was probably because the emperor at this time also had the idea of restricting the power of the Seven Star Tower in his mind.
Especially that old eunuch, he must be eliminated at all costs.
"Now that this matter has been put on the table, I don't think the Seven Stars Tower will dare to make any further moves, at least not in the near future."
"You worked hard last night, too."
"As for Linghu Zheng's matter, I have already made arrangements."
"You can go to the criminal detention center to pick someone up at any time."
The emperor waved his hand.
The chief eunuch, Eunuch Wei, immediately understood and took out an imperial edict that had been prepared in advance from his sleeve.
"This is the pardon written by His Majesty. Take it and the prison will release you."
Liu Feng's face was full of disbelief.
Wasn't it said that there was immense resistance in the court? Why did they just release him with an oral decree?
When did the emperor become so tough?
He was so tough that even Liu Feng found it unbelievable.
If Linghu Zheng is released so openly, what will happen to the opposition voices in the court?
Liu Feng was secretly happy, but he still had doubts about this imperial edict which concerned Linghu Zheng's life and death. However, he still left after thanking the emperor.
Without further ado, he took the imperial edict and headed to the prison.
But Liu Feng was muttering in his heart, and felt more and more that something was wrong.
Logically speaking, it would not be easy to release Linghu Zheng for the crime of treason.
But now.
Liu Feng weighed the imperial edict in his hand. What exactly did the emperor want to do?
Did he easily convince the opposing ministers in the court?
Liu Feng thought it was impossible.
Just as he walked not far from the boss, Liu Feng saw two young eunuchs passing by in a hurry.
Why are there eunuchs outside the prison?
Is it a message of imperial decree?
After all, the prison is outside the imperial city, and it is abnormal for eunuchs to appear there for no reason.
