The next morning, Ji Xun reprimanded all the officials in charge of the capital city with a cold face, but his heart was happy.
You don't have to think about it, but now the streets are full of stories about Prime Minister Zuo's faction being robbed of their mansion overnight and writing on the wall that they would kill themselves if they did anything wrong and sign their names as bandit commander-in-chief. Su Mianyue must have arranged for someone to do it.
Even the mansions of the two officials who were seeking their own deaths did not escape the looting, but they did not kill anyone. When the servants of the mansions went to report to the officials, they shouted all the way, "Hero, spare your life. It's our master who did bad things. It has nothing to do with us servants!"
Ji Xun couldn't help but laugh at the scene. Not only that, most of king qin's strongholds in Capital City were also looted, and there were large letters written in vermilion on the door board "Collusion between officials and businessmen."
Now no one doubts what happened to the two ministers who died before. Everyone is trying to figure out how much these corrupt officials did before they were targeted by the grand thief. You should know that the grand thief was in the Hengyuan territory last time, and although the Hengyuan was robbed of a few of them, they were all Yun Wansheng's favorite subjects. It was only a few families, but this time it was a big deal.
Of course, the reason why the people enjoyed talking about it was because they got up early in the morning and had an extra bag of silver in their yard, which was less than a dozen taels or dozens of taels. It was not possible for them to save it after a year of hard work. People would not think it was a lie to say that the bandit commander was the god of heaven.
"Prime Minister Zuo, what the hell is going on? Is it the emperor's handwriting?" In the left Prime Minister's Mansion, more than a dozen adults sat there frowning, two of whom were still exterminated. At this moment, their faces were filled with fear and even their waists bent down.
"Do you have any evidence?" Prime Minister Zuo said in a cold voice. It was the first time he had experienced the pain of losing both money and money since he had made great progress, but he had the courage to gamble without anything.
Prime Minister Zuo had to open the door to appease his confidants, but Prime Minister Zuo could do nothing but comfort him verbally. He was poor and had to support his servants. It was worse than their family's fate to go to king qin nan's stronghold for help. Even the kitchen was emptied, and it was not too much to say that locusts had crossed the border.
Surprised by the cross-examination, the ministers knew that even if they had evidence, what could they do? Unless he was willing to dismount the emperor, he would never seek justice in his life.
"This bandit commander committed a lot of crimes in the Hengyuan, and now he is here in the Yan Country. Whoever is the bandit commander, we can make a fuss about this." Prime Minister Zuo smiled insidiously, and the other officials looked at each other. Prime Minister Zuo did not explain, "This matter will be handled by the prime minister himself. You can rest assured that the prime minister will not let your business for so many years be destroyed."
The officials did not speak. This was not the first time Prime Minister Zuo had said this. When something happened, he could only watch them get into trouble and even abandon one to protect himself.
"Prime Minister Zuo, it's no big deal if we just ask about this. It's up to you to make the decision for us. But now that everyone here has been ransacked, how can the government continue? And ask Prime Minister Zuo to help us think of an emergency plan." Someone asked for help, and the others quickly echoed.
He glanced at the crowd and pointed to the empty hall, "You can stroll around the Prime Minister's Mansion and take whatever you think will get you out of trouble for the time being. If it's not enough, ask the women in your mansion to take out the hidden money for emergency. This bandit commander doesn't seem to be able to move the woman's money."
All the adults had a bitter face. It was decent for them to give money to women. Was it shameful to spend money on women?
Besides, the money that the bandit handsome did not move women was not moved by those women who had less money. The aunts in the house of the elders were more or less crying about the disappearance of the jewelry box and the silver ticket box. Whether it was true or false, it was too difficult to take the money from the woman.
But Prime Minister Zuo said that, unless they don't want to follow Prime Minister Zuo in the future, they can only go back to the house and think about it.
Without the expected benefits, a group of people left respectfully even though they were disappointed. Before leaving, a few adults looked at the left Prime Minister's Mansion with a complicated look before heading back home, and these people's expressions were all watched by the secret guards, which had always been reported by Su Mianyue and Ji Xun.
"You want to separate these people?" Ji Xun raised his eyebrows.
"The court is at the right time to employ people. You have a handle on these people. If you bestow favors at this time, are you still afraid that these people will not die loyal to you?" Su Mianyue said lightly: "In fact, I didn't like this kind of two-faced person, but now it is a very difficult time to use a very special method. If you pull these people together for a few purposes, the other officials in the court will also see the direction to know how to choose. Yu knows more about these principles than I do. I think he has already made a decision in his heart, right?"
"You're right. These officials are worth the trouble." Ji Xun sighed and said, "When my father was alive, he always wanted to create a clear and bright country, and it was because of this that Yun Wansheng and his people had a chance to take advantage of it. When water is clean, no fish, no fish, no man, no disciple. But the world does not allow black and white to be clear."
"The gray area also has its advantages. Although it is a double-edged sword, it is better to use it than a single blade," Su Mianyue smiled.
Ji Xun nodded and said, "I'll take care of this. As long as Yue's men keep watching, Prime Minister Zuo will make a final fight after this attack. It's almost time to end him."
"Just let him enjoy a few more days of hell on earth." Su Mianyue said noncommittally. Seeing that Ji Xun refused to mention Guangji Temple, he waited for a while and said, "Yu, I know you're worried about my safety, but tomorrow Guangji Temple..."
"I will make people look like you." Ji Xun interrupted Su Mianyue directly.
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" Su Mianyue raised her eyebrows. Unless she knew what she was saying and doing, she could be seen through even a face-changing. Besides, the descendants of the Yan Country royal family knew about the face-changing technique, and even if they didn't know how to make a human skin mask, they should be able to figure out some ways to break it. "I'll bring more people over. This person you're talking about can come with me too. How about I switch roles with him after the other party doesn't doubt my identity?"
"There is no need to discuss this matter. If you leave the palace tomorrow, I will follow you to Guangji Temple. You should know very well that the people of king qin nan will not hesitate to get rid of me." Ji Xun's voice was slightly cold, and there was a persistent look in his eyes.
Su Mianyue opened his mouth and swallowed his last words. He changed the subject and said, "I went out of the palace yesterday to see Liuu. Let him come into the palace tonight to examine yun wansheng."
"You can arrange these things." Ji Xun frowned. The name Yun Wansheng was a thorn in Ji Xun's heart. It upset him. "Yue, remember my words. You are not allowed to go to Guangji Temple. There is no possibility of discussing this."
"Why are we getting around this again?" Su Mianyue rolled his eyes, but refused to give Ji Xun a satisfactory answer. He mysteriously approached him and said, "I think Yun Wansheng must know a big secret. Do you think it has something to do with the mysterious mastermind?"
"Maybe." Ji Xun answered ambiguously.
"No, maybe. I think it must be." Su Mianyue slapped the table, "King qin nan should not have cooperated with that person, but the power of that person has already infiltrated our surroundings. Perhaps king qin nan also has it. The ultimate goal of this person is to start a war within the Yan Country. I don't understand what good this person would do to him if he had to stir up all the chaos in the world."
Looking at Su Mianyue's serious thinking, Ji Xun's expression softened. After a while, he quietly looked at the book, but did not notice Su Mianyue's small eyes, finally leading the topic away.
