"What? This is the official Zhang ...... Mr. Zhang...... Ouch ......"

Seeing a team of wolf-like brocade guards coming, although the family guarding the door was so frightened that his calves twitched, he still did his duty loyally and shouted loudly, not only scaring people with his own master's identity, but also calling the police at the door, so that the people in the house were a little prepared.

However, the side of the old man's official department Shangshu couldn't bluff the Jinyi Wei who was ordered to take people, and the Jinyi Wei Baihu who led the team directly slapped it with a sheathed embroidered spring knife, slapping people to the ground, and the Jinyi Weili behind him broke into the door like a vicious god, and a frightened scream suddenly sounded in the house.

Such scenes are being staged everywhere, making the people in Jingshi City panic, and they don't know what terrible things have happened, but fortunately, the notorious Jinyi guards and officers and soldiers are only targeting those officials and men who usually coax the officials and gentlemen, and no one of the people has been harassed, which makes them feel a little relieved, and they are curious about what is going on?

The whole city is under martial law, full of officers and soldiers with loaded guns and brocade guards wearing flying fish suits, arresting people everywhere, even if they are so curious, no one dares to go out, quite a lot of people lie down in the crack of the door to peek out.

Jinyiwei's arrest operation was only aimed at the backbone of the Donglin Party's bigwigs, and those small fish and shrimp didn't pay attention to it at all, but there were more than 30 main criminals, plus family members or something, there were still thousands of people, and Jinyiwei's edict was stuffed to the brim.

It didn't take much time to arrest these people, Jinyi Wei's secret spies, Dongchang Fanzi, and Red Gang disciples were all secretly staring at it, and none of the people on the blacklist could escape, the most time-consuming thing was to raid the prisoner's property, and many shops were seized, guarded by Red Gang disciples, waiting for the investigation.

In addition to strict surveillance, it is also necessary to investigate and collect all kinds of criminal evidence of some officials, especially the assets under their names, which must be investigated clearly, and the empty treasury of the empire will be enriched by confiscating the family property of these officials, of course, most of them will be corrupted by Zhu Jian and enter his super small treasury.

Jinyiwei and Dongchang were not manpowered, and Zhu Jian didn't want to expose that the Red Gang was also an eagle dog working for him, so he had already asked Hongye Lu Jiantong to transfer the Red Gang disciples from outside the city or nearby counties into the city, and change into the uniforms of Jinyiwei or Dongchang to temporarily help him.

After all the criminals on the blacklist were arrested, martial law was naturally lifted, the city gates were reopened, all the soldiers who had set up checks were withdrawn, and traffic was restored, but there were still a large number of soldiers guarding several city gates in case of accidents.

There was such a big movement, naturally it quickly spread throughout the city, and the small officials of the Donglin Party were all panicked, but they were really not afraid of death, in order to rescue the big guys, they joined forces to enter the palace and asked to see the emperor, but they were blocked by the armor guarding the palace gate, and they all knelt outside the palace gate.

"All here?"

On a certain section of the wall of the palace, Zhu Jian was holding a monocular and observing the Donglin Party officials kneeling on the ground.

"All of them came, and even those who were sick in bed were brought here." Song Xiance, who was on the side, replied softly, and from time to time in the palace, Jinyi guards came in to report the latest situation, so that the Son of Heaven could keep abreast of the latest situation outside.

"Okay, it's time for the next step."

Zhu Jian nodded, expressing his satisfaction, no one knows better than him that the most powerful weapon of the Donglin Party is public opinion, and if you go to the street casually under the banner of a clean official, you can incite the world's scholars and countless ignorant people to support them, causing huge public opinion, which overwhelms you, and finally has to compromise.

Wei Zhongxian relied on strong suppression and creation of all kinds of unjust, false and wrongful cases, and killed many officials to suppress the Donglin Party, but failed to control public opinion, and his reputation was infamous, and in the eyes of the world, he did not want to follow in the footsteps of Wei Zhongxian, those who won the hearts of the people won the world, and public opinion was one of the big killers to control the hearts of the people. Taking advantage of the fact that all the core backbones of the Donglin Party have been arrested, the dragons are leaderless, and the low-level petty officials kneel at the gate of the palace to express their support, it is a good time for the professional trustees to go out and put all kinds of news.

"The emperor can rest assured, he is already taking action, the newspaper has been printed early, and he is waiting for it to be distributed early tomorrow morning." Song Xiance replied, looking at the Son of Heaven's eyes with a little more admiration, he would also play this kind of trick, but like the emperor is so far-sighted, he is willing to spend money to support such a group of professional trusts who specialize in eating by mouth, there is only one in the world, and he can't accept it.

"Now wait for the Royal Guards Battalion to safely escort those books and letters back." A member of the Royal Advisory Council was eager to behave and recklessly interjected.

"Do you think those things are still heavy now?" Song Xiance secretly glanced at the Son of Heaven, and then glared at the guy who interjected, you don't understand and interject indiscriminately, embarrassing Lao Tzu.

The person who interjected turned red, bowed his head and retreated, and several other colleagues in the royal advisory group muttered in a low voice for a while before he understood what Boss Song meant, it's all up to this, although the account letters of the eight families are evidence, but they don't matter anymore, if you want to get rid of you, just make a pot of and buckle it on your head, and the stupid pen will reason with Jinyiwei, what means does Jinyiwei have? Bending into a move, if you don't move, you can also force your fingers to draw a charge, making something out of nothing, anyway, you are dead.

When the officials and soldiers had just been ordered to evacuate and the city gates were reopened, a large number of vocational nurses had quietly blended into the crowd of people who were asking each other what was going on, leaking all kinds of news intentionally or unintentionally.

"Brother Jing, what happened? You have a lot of acquaintances and are well-informed, can you give us some inside information? ”

"Yes, yes, we promise not to spread it."

Several professional nurses stood on the side of the street, muttering in a low voice, but the people gathered nearby could hear it, and as soon as they heard the inside information, the people who also had a roaring gossip heart came over curiously, and soon formed a small circle.

Someone surrounded the circle, there must be something lively, the passers-by stopped one after another, and also followed, listened attentively, and after a while, a large circle of people was surrounded, such circles were many in the streets and alleys of the capital city, and all kinds of gossip soon spread out, like the wind to all corners of the empire.

"Lord Qian and the others are all good officials with clean sleeves, how can a good person be arrested, is the emperor fainting?"

"If even Lord Qian and other good officials of Qingliu are arrested, what kind of world has become of this?"

"Hmph, then you don't need to say, haven't you heard those Qingliu scold Xiao Duanjun?"

The sailors spread all kinds of gossip, not all of them are from the Black Donglin Party, and a small part of them are full-time Black Tianzi, who elevate the Donglin Party and fight for the Donglin Party newspaper, but they all deliberately emphasize a tone, what is a big Qing official with clean sleeves?
