On the third day of Ye Yitian's trip to South China, news spread back to Kyoto that the prefect He Xun was imprisoned in a dungeon by the king of Xiangyuan.

The capital was cheering, and the king of Xiangyuan really lived up to expectations.

Some people entered the palace to report the situation to the emperor, and some guards went to the palace.

Su Yingtong hurriedly walked out of the outer courtyard from the backyard.

The guards saluted the princess and talked about the situation in South China: "...... At first, the prefect was dissatisfied with the prince's elevation of his authority, and obstructed Lord Zhao's actions many times, and there were many officials who did not listen to the deployment, and the prince directly brought the guards to punish those officials and put them in prison, and selected the qualified officials from the South China garrison to let the head of the capital be trained to the top, and no one dared to make trouble again, but the prefect has not been able to hand over the work with Lord Zhao, and Lord Zhao's official position is not as high as the prefect, so naturally he does not dare to come hard...... The prince took someone to the prefect's mansion to get people, saying that the prefect obstructed the judiciary and violated the law, and he would also be imprisoned according to the laws of Xiling...... Uh, in fact, the prince has figured out the secret room of the He Mansion, the guard touched the switch, and the gold, silver and jewelry in the secret room appeared in front of everyone, the prefect was startled, and bluntly said that he himself didn't know when there were so many more belongings in the house, how could the prince listen to his words, and immediately transferred someone from the Shuntian Prison to search the mansion, and there was indeed no other unreasonable property in the search, but he found a few intimate clothes embroidered with the name of the famous prostitute of the Qinglou...... "The guard said that it was not good to continue.

Su Yingtong thought in his mind while listening, Gong Jingyu should have figured out He Xun's mansion long ago before he started, maybe he didn't find something important, so it was logical to make such a scene and let the people of Shuntian Prison search the mansion...... The belongings in the secret room must have been brought in by him, but she had seen the skills of his shadow guards.

"And then, how?"

The guard continued: "Not long after the prefect's wife came back from her mother's house, when she saw such a scene, she scolded the prefect for secretly hiding these belongings to raise famous prostitutes, and brought the famous prostitutes back to the mansion...... The two of them almost didn't fight, and the prefect's wife said, don't think I don't know that you hid things at the bottom of the lake...... The prefect knocked his wife unconscious, but the prince had already sent someone to look for something in the lake in the backyard, how could the prefect stop him...... Although he couldn't pry open the prefect's mouth, dozens of people still found the ledger wrapped in a sheepskin bag from the bottom of the lake after carefully fishing in the lake for a long time...... The prefect only knew that he was asking for mercy. “

Unexpectedly, the prefect also knew to hide the ledger underwater, which was indeed a safe and secret place.

If it weren't for his wife who missed a word in that situation, even the Palace Mirror Domain wouldn't have thought of looking for it from the lake.

So it's said that there is a knife on the head of the color word. In modern times, I don't know how many corrupt officials who have been exposed by their mistresses, and this prefect is also a gentle township who is greedy for famous prostitutes in Qinglou dislikes his wife, so there is a day when husband and wife deviate...... There is really no distinction between ancient and modern times.

"It's not clear what subordinates are written on the account book, the prince read the account book and officially opened the court to try the prefect, the prefect pleaded guilty one by one, admitting that he accepted the gift from which adult, and what kind of benefits were given, especially in the construction of the dam, the silver taels allocated by the imperial court were 2.7 million taels, but the actual use of the river embankment was only about 400,000 taels...... As for who and how much of the benefits were apportioned, the prefect provided a few adults, the second-grade officials involved the Ministry of Works, and there were several other fourth-grade and below, as well as local county orders and local merchants...... There are too many, and everyone in South China is in danger, so they are afraid that they will be washed by the blood of the prince. “

Even the Ministry of Industry has a share, Su Yingtong sighed in his heart, he couldn't retire as an official in his old age, and it was indeed a mistake that turned into a thousand hatreds.

"What about the Liu family and the Song family, how about it?"

"Master Song was found to have built a fleet in the port to sell illicit salt, which is enough to be a death sentence, and the Song family has involved several officials, all of whom have received the benefits of the Song family, how this will be issued or depends on the holy will, the Liu family has not heard of much of a mistake, but they have evaded taxes in paying taxes, and at most they have fined the imperial court."

The Liu family can be so clean, I don't know if Gong Jingyu has any subordinates?

Now that the Song family is not guaranteed, South China will be the world of the Liu family from now on.

You can only wait for the Holy Decree. In the past two days, the palace will come out with a holy decree, and the court will have a big blood change.

In the past few years since Gong Yilin ascended the throne, he is now sitting on the throne!

In the future, where will there be any voices in the court that dare to oppose him?

This time the matter ended perfectly, and it seemed that Gong Jingyu had made a meritorious contribution and successfully completed the errand, but in fact, it was not necessarily.

When everything is in the hands of the emperor, what do they use to compete with the imperial power.

At this time, Su Yingtong's mind flashed, could it be that this was the intention of the Palace Mirror Domain.

If the Liu family is allowed to live, Gong Yilin needs someone who can deal with the Liu family...... As long as the imperial court needs the king of Xiangyuan one day, it will be difficult for Gong Yilin to start.

She finally understood the meaning of the Palace Mirror Domain.

It seems that as long as there is the Liu family and the Mingjian Villa, as long as the Xiangyuan Royal Mansion is not the only one, then they will be safe.

Su Yingtong's hanging heart was put down.

She asked the guard a few more words, knowing that the guard didn't bring back the letter or was still disappointed, and thought that the palace mirror domain would be back soon, so she didn't stick to these, "I know everything, you go down." ”

The next day, I heard the cheers of the people all over the city, mixed with a few cries.

Without waiting for Su Yingtong to go out to inquire about Manager Lin, he came in and reported to her: "...... The emperor has decreed that officials suspected of corruption will be beheaded at noon regardless of their official positions, and in serious cases, the nine clans will be punished...... It's very chaotic outside, many mansions have been raided, and those who should be exiled will be punished and reported to the emperor in the next two days...... This year's imperial examination has increased the number of hires and positions, and many children from poor families will have the opportunity to enter the court as officials, and the people are cheering for the emperor's grace......"

These should be two extreme pictures.

Those officials who thought they could be glorious for a lifetime could never have imagined that the kings who had followed them overnight would turn their faces and go on a killing spree, and these people would die under the butcher's knife after all.

Su Yingtong inquired, and at the beginning, he was still ashamed to impeach the "lawless" officials of the Xiangyuan King in the court, but today none of them were omitted on the list of copying the family, fortunately, she usually has less contact with these people, and she doesn't see everyone when these officials and wives come to visit her in the mansion......

Because of this purge of the imperial court, naturally some people were promoted due to misfortune, and Chang Daren of Changfu was promoted from Guozi Priest Wine to Guanglu Temple, which Su Yingtong was also happy for Xie. (To be continued.) )
