In the blink of an eye, two days have passed.

With the help of the dividend ledger, more than a dozen high-ranking civil and military officials in Beijing were secretly arrested by the guard division and locked up in the barracks.

More than a dozen civil and military officials, without exception, were all old men brought out by Wei Zheng from Zunhua.

And it was only at this time that the prime minister of the royal palace felt the slightest bit bad from the sudden five-tone news of several subordinates.

Because, these officials who have heard the five messages belong to their own faction.

Once something really happens to them, the blow to their own faction can definitely be called fatal......

With so many officials suddenly disappearing, Zhou Shuyuan's first thought was that these officials had been arrested by the Supervision Yuan.

Because, among all the departments of the Haw Par Army, there is and only the Supervisory Yuan has the right to arrest so many officials at once.

Therefore, when he got the news, Zhou Shuyuan broke into the procuratorate without thinking about it.

After all, this matter is related to the future and lives of more than a dozen civil and military officials of his faction.

looked at Wang Peng, who had a tense face in front of him from the beginning of his acquaintance, as if others owed him a lot of silver. Zhou Shuyuan, who was full of dissatisfaction with the disappearance of more than a dozen subordinates, questioned Wang Peng without thinking about it......

"The King's Envoy...... Lord Yang of the Department of Agriculture of the Royal Mansion and more than a dozen other officials have not reported to the palace for two days, and there is no one in the mansion...... I want to know if these people have been prosecuted by your Supervision Yuan...... Although your Supervisory Yuan has the right to supervise and arrest officials, it is necessary to arrest so many officials at one time. Such a big thing. Why not give a briefing at the Standing Committee. Do you really think that the power of the Supervisory Yuan has reached the point where there is no boundary......

In the face of the well-deserved second-in-command of the Haw Par Army, even if he is at the same level as him, he is a member of the Standing Committee and can participate in some decisions of the Haw Par Army. However, Wang Peng, who had a tense face, saw him with the attitude of a subordinate all the time.

Therefore, Zhou Shuyuan's words have just been finished. Wang Peng quickly stood up and replied: "The prime minister said that he laughed, even if I was bold, I wouldn't dare to arrest so many civil and military officials at one time......

"However, these missing civil and military officials have indeed been arrested. The people who arrested them, in addition to the Supervision Yuan, also included the Guard Division and the Internal Security Division...... No matter how great the power of our Supervision Yuan is, it is impossible for it to command the guard division and the internal guard...... Therefore, I also ask the Prime Minister to check ......"

"The guard division is an internal guard...... Even if they commit a crime, it will be your Supervision Yuan who will arrest people. What is the matter with the guard division and the internal guard...... How is that possible, the king's envoy. Are you deliberately looking for someone to fool me in order to shirk your responsibility..."Zhou Shuyuan asked with an incredible face as if he had heard a big joke.

Wang Peng affirmed without thinking about it: "Lord Zhou, things have come to this point, and everything that should be arrested has been arrested, and there is no need for me to continue to hide it...... The entire arrest operation was led by the internal guards, and our Supervision Yuan and the guard division all cooperated with the operation. As for the real leader, it is the prince......"

"So, if you really want to find it, go to the prince......"

Everything was made possible by Wang Ye Wei Zheng, but as a deputy, he didn't know anything......

Faced with this terrible fact, Zhou Shuyuan, who had already been suppressed by Wang Ye Wei Zheng in the two factional battles, directly flashed a very terrible thought in his heart.

As the territory of the Haw Par Army is getting bigger and bigger, and the strength of the Haw Par Army is getting stronger and stronger, Wang Ye Wei Zheng has begun to unload the mill and kill the donkey.

Otherwise, why did he do such a big thing behind his back, and the people who were arrested were all old men of the Haw Par Army, and they were powerful officials of their own faction......

For a while, Zhou Shuyuan's face was like unpredictable weather, white for a while, red for a while, and he didn't react for a long time.

As a political opponent, Wang Peng knew that this result was a slap in the face for Zhou Shuyuan, who was under one person and above ten thousand.

However, as a participant in the entire arrest operation, Wang Peng also knew that this matter was not as strict as Zhou Shuyuan imagined in his heart.

Because, these people who were arrested were all innocent, and among them, there was no factional struggle, but Zhou Shuyuan thought about it a lot.

When this matter is over, Zhou Shuyuan is still the prime minister, and the second-in-command of the Haw Par Army is well-deserved.

After figuring out this, Wang Peng hurriedly explained......

"Lord Zhou, at the beginning, I didn't know why the prince ordered the Supervision Yuan to secretly cooperate with the internal security operation. But, after getting involved, I have to say, these officials are damned...... So, Lord Zhou, don't run around these people,

With the crimes committed by these people, it is enough to destroy all nine of their tribes......"

As he spoke, Wang Peng had already picked up a few interrogation records and handed them to Zhou Shuyuan.

After reading the interrogation record, the expression on Zhou Shuyuan's face changed and calmed down at noon. At the same time, a trace of anger also appeared on his face, and he scolded loudly......

"What a bunch of bastards, don't they know that the Houjin Tartars are the eternal enemies of my Tiger and Leopard Army, and many of our brothers died at the hands of the Houjin Tartars...... What a damn ......."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Shuyuan asked Wang Peng directly: "Lord Wang, you have arrested so many people at one time, and they are all old people who came out of Zunhua with the prince...... I don't know what the result of these people is......" "Public execution......" Wang Peng replied without thinking about it.

For this expected result, Zhou Shuyuan was not satisfied.

Because, even if these people really deserve death, they can't be executed with such fanfare.

Otherwise, after this incident came, he would definitely be swept away in the Haw Par Army.

After all, these are all people who are attached to him, and if he can't even save their lives, will anyone be attached to him and join his faction from now on......

To be sure, this is even worse than the impact and blow that the arrest has brought to oneself.

Therefore, as soon as Wang Peng finished speaking, Zhou Shuyuan said: "Kill them, I don't have any opinion at all." After all, they were all guilty of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country...... However, the public execution of so many officials at one time is that I am afraid that it will cause a shock in the entire officialdom...... So, my idea is to carry out the execution in secret after their crimes are made public, and try not to make it public......"

Wang Peng shook his head and replied: "Lord Zhou, this is the prince's decision, and I can't change it!" “

Hearing this result, Zhou Shuyuan's face turned pale after brushing it again.

On the surface, Wei Zheng did not mean to target himself. However, this public execution, which seemed to have no implicit meaning, was slapped in the face again without exception...... (To be continued......)
