Chapter 385： count you smart

Chapter 385 You are smart

Don't look at them talking and laughing happily, but they are looking at each other and speaking carefully.

I don’t even look at who the emperor is. How can a cunning hunter let them take advantage of a group of people who fight against hundreds of officials?

He took care of all those present by himself, saving the efforts of the three queens.

They just sat and listened, and didn't even bother to take a sip of tea.

Qiao Mai has seen all the food and drink today, and there is no problem, so you can eat and drink with peace of mind, but they still didn't move their chopsticks much.

Satisfied with food and drink, they didn't ask any one, two, three, and in the end they had no choice but to ask Qiao Mai to buy tea and ice.

"I got that tea by chance, and I didn't have much in hand. I only brought some with me when I came out. I can't do this business anymore. As for the ice, we used special means to transport it all the way, just for our own use on the road. , I’m really sorry everyone.”

"Be polite, be polite, there is no benevolence and righteousness in business."

"Thank you for your hospitality, we say goodbye,"

Emperor and the others got into their own carriage and left. The people upstairs were sitting there, looking at me and I looking at you.

"These four people are definitely not ordinary people. The old man has such a strong aura, he turns against customers as soon as he comes, and pushes me to wait. His wife is from a small family at first glance, and there is another couple. They seem ordinary, but they are Not afraid of the old man's aura at all, it seems that their status is not low, I heard that they have twenty guards to **** them, and the girl beside them is not ordinary."

"After thinking about it, let's be careful, let's give up this piece of fat"

"Hmm, that's what I meant by waiting,"

From this day on, no one came to disturb Qiao Mai and the others, but the spies in front of the welcoming guests did not withdraw.

The emperor and others still went out for a walk every day, watching the scenery, eating, listening to music, and there was no abnormal movement at all, which made those people in Luzhou city feel relieved.

Not two days had passed since the peaceful days, another batch of uninvited guests came to the inn at night.

The main battlefield, the roof, the main battle party, the man in black and Heizi.

Result: The men in black died collectively, and the bodies were thrown in the Rong Mansion. Qiao Mai showed the second lady of the Rong family that she promised her everything.

On the second day, her head was turned upside down, and the big character horoscope was hung on the outside of the city.

At daybreak, the people entering and exiting the city can see clearly with just a slight lift of their heads.

This time it was not so easy to go up and down. As soon as the Rong family found out that she was not there, they sent people to look for her throughout the city. They only saw it at the gate of the city at dawn.

It took a lot of effort to get her down from the city gate.

Now the common people are feasting their eyes. They can clearly see which parts of their bodies have birthmarks.

Now the Rong family was humiliated, the owner of the Rong family asked someone to wake her up, and asked sharply.

"Are you going to provoke those people again?"

"Yes, my daughter sent someone there yesterday, and he will not give up until he gets it"

"If he can humiliate you like this, he has the ability to kill you. If you want to die, no one will stop you. It doesn't mean that the Rong family is involved."

"Father, why are you so stingy, don't forget, the Empress is from our family"

"Fart, that's from my own family. The empress is not the emperor. Didn't the previous empress also step down? She still treats her natal family strictly, let alone our branch?"

"Anyway, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so they can't manage here."

"You better be honest."

Patriarch Rong was so angry that she took back all her rights, and sent someone to guard her. Without his order, the eldest lady was not allowed to mess around.

One day later, Jin Longwei dispatched 10,000 elite soldiers from the border. According to the emperor's instructions, he first searched the 5,000 officers and soldiers outside Luzhou City, and then took over.

The emperor received the evidence of their crimes, immediately suspended the guards outside the city, and arranged a takeover from the generals at the border.

Then the soldiers outside the city stood still, and Jin Longwei sneaked into Luzhou City, investigating family by family.

Even the most profitable shop in the city did not escape. For three consecutive days, the city was quiet. Three days later, at night, it began to rain heavily.

The emperor looked at the thick account book in the inn, rubbing the center of his brows with a headache.

"Golden Dragon Guard"

"Subordinates in"

"Tomorrow night, none of these five families can be let go. First put them in prison, and then ransack their homes. No place will be spared. Those who have property, go to the store or the village to search. Be sure to align with the accounts. "

"yes!"

Jin Longwei left the inn with the emperor's order in the night rain, and the rain was still falling.

It took a whole day and night to stop. On this night, the five great families in Luzhou City were surrounded by officers and soldiers overnight. Once they resisted, they were immediately killed by Jinlong Weige on the spot.

Everyone was imprisoned in the Yamen prison, and the Yamen had already been picked up by the guards outside the city.

All night, 15,000 officers and soldiers searched, and at dawn, they began to count their belongings. It was noon before the old emperor received the news.

The five great aristocratic families confiscated 16 million taels of monastic files, countless jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, and even more precious medicinal materials.

Instead of being angry, the old emperor grinned.

"That's great, this is saving money to give me gifts. After accepting this batch, why worry about the treasury not being rich? If there are a few more batches of people like this, I'll send them out. I won't have to worry about money anymore."

"Your Majesty, should the principal criminal be tried in public?"

"I'll hand it over to you and the guards outside the city for trial. I don't want to see these resident insects. Have those smoke houses been raided?"

"Not one left,"

"After the trial, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, those who should be cut off, and those who should be distributed will be distributed. Remember that all the poppies outside the city will be uprooted, and a notice will be posted. If anyone plants this thing again, they will die!"

"Yes, Your Majesty"

Jin Longwei left, the emperor found Qiao Mai, "Mother-in-law, everything is settled"

"Let's go, let's see the excitement?"

"I have exactly the same intention"

A group of four people came to the magistrate's yamen, and the common people were guarding three floors inside and outside, all wanting to know their final fate.

In order to let them see clearly, Qiao Mai pointed a finger, and the people automatically drew a line, and the emperor walked in with the three of them.

In the public hall, the patriarchs of the five great families in Luzhou knelt at the foot of the hall, and on top of the public case sat the commander of Jinlongwei and the guards outside the city.

The head of the Rong family, as well as the prefect Wu, were not convinced. They were stubborn, especially the head of the Rong family.

"You guys are so bold, you even dare to touch the queen's natal family"

"Hmph, is it the king's land in the whole world? This law was revised by the emperor. The emperor said that the emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. You are not the queen, and you are only the queen's relative. Can you compare with the emperor?"

"Humph, I'm not convinced"

"There are witnesses and physical evidence, you can't accept it"

"The minister wants to file a petition, your authority arrests us"

The leader of Jinlongwei flashed out his token, "Open your eyes and see what this is?"

After seeing the token, Master Rong and Wu Zhifu all collapsed to the ground. Jin Longwei, how could they not know that Jin Longwei is the emperor's Jinwei, who specializes in protecting the emperor and obeying the emperor's orders, that is to say, they have What happened now was all thanks to the emperor?

Wu Zhifu suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Jin Longwei above, "Is the emperor in Luzhou City right now?"

"Hmph, you guys are smart,"

Prefect Wu bowed his head resignedly, so he just said, that person looked familiar that day, he was really the emperor.

The emperor knew about the fact that they opened opium dens and harmed the people, alas!

At the same time, Patriarch Rong also thought of this question, he looked at Prefect Wu, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"I just thought of it too"

Patriarch Rong turned around suddenly and looked at the people outside the yamen. He saw the four emperors at a glance.

The emperor just looked at him calmly, and Patriarch Rong looked at the queen again, she also stared at him expressionlessly.

He didn't say a word when it came to his lips.

What can he say? The emperor wanted to punish him, so he couldn't run away. Two days ago, he was calling him brother and brother, but now he has become a prisoner.
