Chapter 246: Severe Punishment of the Jiang Family
The villain in his heart emerged uncontrollably to cause trouble. Sun Muzhi said, "The emperor is very perceptive and will definitely not vent his anger on those who have nothing to do with him."
Xiao Baozhu was a little uncertain.
Jiang Zelin has been making trouble again and again, and his father must be very angry.
Not only was she, the princess, hurt, but also her father's dignity.
Xiao Baozhu was a little hesitant for a moment, but this matter had already alarmed Emperor Defeng.
She did not return to the palace before the gates were closed. The coachman who had repaired the carriage sent people to look for her but to no avail. Not daring to be careless, he quickly reported the matter to the emperor.
The emperor immediately sent his trusted Dragon Scale Guards out of the city to search for him.
The Emperor's Dragon Scale Guards were very skilled at tracking, and they tracked the suspects all the way to the wooden house.
At this point, the truth could no longer be concealed.
When Emperor Defeng saw Xiao Baozhu's miserable appearance, he felt heartbroken and his anger reached its peak.
"Jiang Zelin, the Jiang family, this is outrageous! They simply don't take the royal family seriously! Come, pass on my order. The Jiang family has failed to educate their children, raising an unfilial son like Jiang Zelin. He dared to murder the princess. His crime is heinous! If he is not severely punished, it will not be enough to restore the prestige of the country!"
"Accordingly, all property of the Jiang family is confiscated and deposited into the national treasury. All members of the Jiang family, regardless of gender, age or status, are imprisoned and await trial. The principal offender and his accomplices will be executed to uphold the law of the land! The rest of the family will be exiled three thousand miles to the frontier, never to return to the capital!"
"Sun Muzhi, you have performed a great deed this time and deserve a reward. This time, the confiscation of the Jiang family's property will be handed over to you. Can you handle it well?"
Sun Muzhi immediately knelt down to receive the order, "I obey your command!"
As soon as Sun Muzhi left, the emperor sent out the Dragon Scale Guards and ordered a thorough investigation into the incident.
"Investigate this matter thoroughly for me. Who else is behind this? Investigate Sun Muzhi as well."
He saved Xiao Baozhu twice in a row. The last time might have been just a coincidence, but what about this time? Could he have been involved?
Emperors are suspicious by nature. The more coincidental something is, the less likely they are to believe it.
That night, the Jiang family was raided.
The Jiang family was still in a dream, completely unaware of what was going on, when they were awakened by this sudden change.
Upon learning that it was Jiang Zelin who committed the crime, the old doctor Jiang burst into tears. His already skinny body now looked even more dilapidated like a dead leaf, which would fall to the ground with just a slight breeze.
"What a rebellious son! What a rebellious son! If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have saved him!"
The imperial guards who confiscated the property were rough and rough, and old doctor Jiang was heartbroken to see those precious medical books being thrown away casually by them.
Old Doctor Jiang ignored his own discomfort and rushed forward to stop them, but when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. The Jiang family was completely ruined, and the once highly respected Old Doctor Jiang had become a decrepit old man. His attempts to stop them were completely futile.
Many people destroyed medical books in front of the old doctor Jiang, and the old doctor Jiang looked desperate.
A man searched for a long time but couldn't find anything valuable. He was so angry that he wanted to tear up the Chinese medicine book in his hand, but suddenly someone clamped his hands.
The other party was angry and turned around, only to meet Sun Muzhi's cold and emotionless eyes.
"These medical books are also the property of the Sun family and must all be handed over to the court. Are you destroying them wantonly and intending to infringe upon the court's property?"
The man relied on his seniority and was not convinced by Sun Muzhi. He looked disdainful when he heard his words.
"Don't take a mere feather as a token of authority. Don't think you're so great just because you've achieved some minor accomplishment. I can tear up this medical book whenever I want!"
After saying that, he was about to take action again, but he failed. Instead, there was a clear "click" sound, followed by a heart-wrenching scream.
The man's hands were removed.
But no one could see how Sun Muzhi exerted his strength.
"If you dare to commit murder, I will fight you!"
The man swung his uninjured arm to fight back, but before he could even touch the corner of Sun Muzhi's clothes, he was knocked down by the other party and had no power to fight back.
The man tried to struggle, but Sun Mu stepped on his back and he couldn't move.
Sun Muzhi looked around at everyone. "The Emperor has entrusted me with this mission, so you all must obey me. If you are dissatisfied, you can come and fight me. Whoever can defeat me will be relieved of this mission and you can do whatever you want."
Everyone looked at each other, no one dared to speak, let alone step forward to challenge.
They had all heard about Sun Muzhi killing a tiger single-handedly, and today they saw him demonstrate his skills with their own eyes, so those who knew what was going on naturally didn't dare to confront him.
After this act of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, no one dared to destroy the Jiang family's medical books anymore, and even those who wanted to make money by doing so were much more restrained.
Sun Muzhi personally squatted down and picked up the medical books that were thrown all over the place.
Doctor Jiang looked at him gratefully and said, "Thank you so much for what you did just now. If it weren't for you, all these precious things would have been destroyed."
Sun Muzhi said indifferently, "The Jiang family is certainly wrong in their poor parenting, but the medical books are innocent. What are Jiang Nansheng's things? Please sort them out."
The Jiang family's medical books were indeed all taken over by the Imperial Medical Bureau.
Jiang Nansheng's things are his target.
Later, he learned that Xiao Baozhu was deceived out of the city by Jiang Nansheng's news.
The news about that man could easily make her lose her composure, which shows how important he is to her.
She must want these medical books.
It took one night to complete the search of the Jiang family.
The most abundant wealth in the Jiang family is not money, but medical books.
This result touched Emperor Defeng.
Is my punishment for the Jiang family too excessive?
But the imperial edict has been issued, and there is absolutely no reason to take it back.
Emperor Defeng looked at Sun Muzhi and said with a smile, "My dear Sun, you have done a great job on this mission. You are a promising talent. You also saved Baozhu twice. I will definitely reward you handsomely. From now on, you will serve in my Dragon Scale Guard."
Feng Youcai's eyes flashed with surprise. Hadn't the emperor yet investigated whether this matter was related to Sun Muzhi? Why did he use him so highly?
He soon figured out the emperor's intention.
If it is finally verified that this matter is related to Sun Muzhi, the emperor can give an order and the Dragon Scale Guard will be able to eliminate Sun Muzhi quietly without causing any waves.
If he is innocent, it will not be easy for him to gain a foothold in the Dragon Scale Guard.
Anyone who can enter the Dragon Scale Guard has gone through all kinds of trials and tribulations. Whether Sun Muzhi, an outsider, can truly integrate into the group depends on his own abilities.
After hearing this, Sun Muzhi was also stunned.
He should have kowtowed and thanked him immediately, but that was not what he wanted.
He knelt down and apologized to Emperor Defeng in fear and trepidation.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have another request, please grant it to me."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Defeng's eyes darkened.
How dare he disobey the order?
Immediately, there was a hint of anger in his eyes, and his expression became a little duller.
"What do you want? Tell me."
