After a while, there were no more people from the Zhao clan in the torture room, and all the cases were on the way to be solved, and Zhao Ning breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the officials of Dali Temple replaced with a cup of hot tea, and Zhao Ning took it up and took a sip.

Zhao Ning didn't leave immediately, because Feng San, Feng Niu'er and others were brought here by the jailers.

Compared with when they were in Jingzhao Mansion before, Feng San and the others at this moment, when they faced Zhao Ning again, their faces were no longer a little hard and unruly, and they were replaced by a strong fear and uneasiness.

As soon as they entered the door, they knelt down in front of Zhao Ning one after another, begging Zhao Ning to forgive them for their previous disrespectful crimes, hoping that Zhao Ning could sympathize with them and let their family members live.

For this reason, no matter what Zhao Ning wants them to say or do, they will not hesitate to agree.

When Zhao Ning saw their appearance, he knew that they had already seen their families, and the officials of Dali Temple also broke their thoughts of meeting the officials.

Now Feng San and the others have realized that they have completely fallen into the hands of Zhao Ning, and Zhao Ning can do whatever he wants to them.

Feng San, who was seriously injured, couldn't take care of his body at the moment, and after kowtowing repeatedly, he said with a sad face:

"Zhao Gongzi, you are a character on the clouds, we are a small people begging for a living in the mud, as long as you are willing to ignore the villain's life and not deal with our family, Feng San is willing to confess to being bought by the family!"

Such a result was expected by Zhao Ning, and he was not the slightest surprise at Feng San's obedience, and said with a slight bow:

"My son's previous conditions are still valid, as long as you are willing to confess your guilt, I will give you twice the price and cultivation pills, and at the same time will protect your family members from being bullied, and you can live in Shimen County in peace for the rest of your life.

"As for you, of course you will be punished, and no one will be able to save you. ”

Feng San got Zhao Ning's promise, bowed again and again, and after listening to the last sentence, he smiled miserably and said sadly:

"We fought this life, just to give our family a good life and future, and now that the goal has been achieved, the reward we can get has been doubled, which can be described as an unexpected joy, even if we have a broken head, we don't dare to have any grudges against Zhao Gongzi!"

Zhao Ning nodded, Tang Xing did not delay when he saw this, and asked several officials to take Feng Niu'er and them to the side to record and write confessions.

When Zhao Ning came out of the prison of Dali Temple, it was the second quarter of the year. Time has passed neither long nor short, and he has acted quickly in dealing with things.

At this time, the more than 40 cases against the Zhao family that broke out during the day today have all been solved as they should have been made - this is of course on the surface.

The operation in the shadows has already been launched, and the elite personnel of Yipinlou have mastered the key human and physical evidence in each case, such as Wang Shu's wife Wang Liushi and Chen Yi in the dock murder case, and now they are all under the covert control of the cultivators of Yipinlou.

When the officials of Dali Temple, with the cooperation of the Zhao clan, found out the suspicious points of each case and went to various places in Yanping City to collect human and material evidence, they could easily get these.

It will take an hour or two to be fast, or a day or two to be slow, and the truth of each case will be revealed.

This speed is naturally very fast, but the emperor will not have much suspicion, after all, the Zhao family was wronged, and logically speaking, the case is not difficult to investigate.

With the officials of Dali Temple who are good at investigating cases, the cooperation of the Zhao clan, and the help of a large number of poor officials, the case should be investigated quickly.

Moreover, in the face of the quarrel between Mendi and Jiangmen, as well as the pressure of Xu Minglang and others, the emperor must not want to wait too long.

"When these cases are clarified, many of the scholars involved in them will suffer, especially the Zheng family, the Lu family and other families, who have done the most things, and it is impossible not to repeat the mistakes of the Liu family. ”

Tang Xing stood beside Zhao Ning, with a smile on the corner of his mouth that couldn't be concealed, and his eyes were full of heat. He seemed to be even more excited than Zhao Ning.

Surrounded by many official residences and feeling the aura of power like the ocean around him, Zhao Ning felt both dangerous and oppressive, but also full of pride. No matter how wide the ocean is, no matter how turbulent the waves, people need to overcome after all.

He didn't speak.

After temporarily leaving Dali Temple, he went to meet someone.

Paradigm's outstanding woman: Fan Yi.

.......

Four o'clock.

It was only half an hour before the third watch, and Xu Minglang walked out of the imperial city gate. Even if the emperor's handling of the Zhao case made him very dissatisfied and made him feel dangerous, he couldn't stay in the palace all the time and let the emperor not sleep.

came out with him, there were more than a dozen important ministers, basically all of whom were the heads of the families and generals, among whom Zhao Xuanji walked side by side with him, and no one refused to fall behind the other party.

Waiting for his carriage to come over in front of the gate of the imperial city, Xu Minglang glanced at Zhao Xuanji coldly.

The other party's grief and sympathy in front of the emperor made him disgusted from the bottom of his heart, like eating a bowl of flies. At the same time, he also disdains Zhao Xuanji's behavior.

If selling miserably can change the big thing, and can avoid the decline of the family, then the Liu family will not fall into such a field. Therefore, in Xu Minglang's opinion, Zhao Xuanji not only has no integrity, but he is also very stupid, and he deserves to keep the Zhao family.

He believes that Zhao Xuanji doesn't even have the need to act in front of the emperor.

"Xu Xiang, you don't have to look at my father with this kind of gaze. Facts will eventually prove who is the hurried passer-by at the top of the power of Daqi. Zhao Xuanji has been despised by Xu Minglang since he was in Chongwen Palace, and he has long been unhappy in his heart.

Xu Minglang snorted contemptuously and said:

"Zhen Guogong wouldn't think that he could change the overall situation by holding a dock murder case? At most, this made His Majesty hesitate for a while, and delayed the trial of the three divisions for a day or two, but in the end, it could not change anything at all. ”

Zhao Xuanji saw that several servants of the Xu family had already come over one step ahead of the carriage, looking anxious, and there was a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth, "Xu Xiang's big words, if you can keep saying it, then it is called ability." ”

Xu Minglang was just about to retort Zhao Xuanji, when he saw that his henchmen and servants were full of anxiety, and there were several domestic servants who were also panicked to meet his master, and a bad premonition surged in his heart.

He temporarily gave up fighting with Zhao Xuanji, walked a few steps sideways, and before he could ask, his henchman couldn't wait to say: "Family master, something is wrong!"

"Before dark, the criminals were brought to Dali Temple, but within half an hour, the officials of Dali Temple were dispatched one after another to arrest new criminals everywhere!

"According to the reports of various sects, there are now many key witnesses in the case, all of which have been found by the officials of Dali Temple, and they have been brought back to Dali Temple for torture one after another!"

This news was tantamount to a thunderbolt from the sky, Xu Minglang was shocked, and his face suddenly turned white!

Once they are caught and open their mouths under the torture of Dali Temple, it will not be that the plan to frame the Zhao family has failed, but that it will be the same as the dock murder case, and the conspiracy of the door will be shaken out!

All the people who participated in the actions of each case will suffer!

Xu Minglang frowned and asked sharply: "How could the people of Dali Temple find the person certificate so quickly? What did the various sects do before, and they didn't hide the people well?!"

Of course, people can't hide in the mansions of various families, so if they are caught by the officials of Dali Temple, even if there are only one or two, the door will jump into the Yellow River and it will not be washed.

The old servant was also very annoyed, "They said that they hid people very secretly, but the people from Dali Temple quickly checked it, and ......

"And there are also the soldiers of the Governor's Mansion and the cultivators of the Jiangmen to cooperate, those people can't run away if they want to, our people are aware of the danger, and they don't even have time to extinguish their mouths!"

This is the same situation that Zheng Yuqing and Chen Yi faced at that time.

"Commander's Mansion Soldiers?"

Xu Minglang reacted instantly, after today's case broke out, the Zhao clan would naturally mobilize many Jiangmen cultivators to cooperate with the soldiers of the Governor's Mansion to investigate everywhere. The Governor's Mansion has the power to patrol the streets, and Xu Minglang can't stop this.

But the question is, how did the other party find those key witnesses so quickly?

How did Zhao Ning find Chen Yi?

If the key authentication that is hidden can be found so easily, then this "hidden" is a joke.

It's impossible!

Could it be that the entire Yanping City is under the supervision of the Zhao family and Jiangmen?

It's even more unlikely!

Where did they get so many manpower?

The emperor doesn't have such power now!

Besides, even if the other party has sufficient manpower, it has to be arranged in advance, could it be that the Zhao family already knows the plan of the door?

There's an inner ghost in the door?!

Xu Minglang had a lot of thoughts for a while, and his thoughts were chaotic, Rao was the first minister in the dynasty, and he couldn't figure it out at the moment.

Zhao's lightning catch of Chen Yi already made him feel incredible, and now he has caught more key witnesses so quickly, which makes no sense at all!

What the hell is going on?

Xu Minglang asked in a cold voice: "How many people have been arrested now?"

"The latest return is that there have been more than fifteen cases!"

"There are so many?" Xu Minglang's heart sank suddenly, before he was a child, there were already fifteen cases that had been destroyed, and by tomorrow, wouldn't all the cases be lost?

That's it!

As long as Xu Minglang thought about that scene and the consequences, he felt that his eyes were black, his feet were soft, and he almost couldn't stand!

The conspiracy of the sect to frame the Zhao clan has been investigated, and then it will not be a struggle for power, the entire Great Qi world will be boiling against the sky, the public opinion will drown them, and the entire scholar will lose all the games!

Without waiting for Xu Minglang to stabilize his mind, Zheng Zexian, the head of the Zheng family, had already trotted over quickly, and said to him like a mournful woman:

"Xu Xiang, we now have six or seven key witnesses arrested by Dali Temple, the Zheng family is about to suffer a catastrophe, Xu Xiang quickly think of a way, if it continues like this, the Zheng family will never recover!"

Before Xu Minglang could speak, the other heads of the family gathered over, and the head of the Lu family, who was running in front, had a bleak appearance similar to Zheng Zexian, and pleaded:

"Xu Xiang, save me Lu Clan! Xu Xiang, how did things come to this? Obviously, we are dealing with the Zhao Clan, and our plan will be seamless tomorrow, why did it suddenly become like this?"

Xu Minglang also wanted to know the answers to these questions, who did he ask?

In this operation, the Zheng family and the Lu family are two of the three families that have contributed the most.

And unlike Pang Sheng, who instructed Jingzhao Mansion to cooperate on the surface, they were acting directly in the dark, and now they are being caught the most and most directly.

Facing everyone's eager and anxious eyes, Xu Minglang only felt that he couldn't get out of his chest in one breath, and he almost vomited blood.

The key people and witnesses have been arrested, how can they be saved? These people are in Dali Temple! That is not the yamen controlled by the officials!

Originally, the disciples planned to be interrogated by the three divisions, so that the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the Imperial Doctor were their own family members, and they were enough to control the situation.

But now the emperor just refuses to be interrogated by the three divisions, but he just lets Dali Temple investigate the case first, which is the most important reason for the current situation!

In the case of Daizhou, relying on the control of the three divisions, Xu Minglang cleared the crimes of Beihu and Paradigm, but afterwards the emperor carried out a large-scale exchange of officials in Dali Temple. In Liu's case, the emperor took the opportunity to do such a thing again.

Now the result is that Dali Temple has completely become the yamen of the Hanmen officials, and Xu Minglang, the prime minister of the dynasty, can no longer fully control the three divisions.

The power in the hands of him and Mendi has been divided by the emperor.

"I knew that today, I should have killed all those key witnesses!" Xu Minglang regretted it.

But it can only be regret.

According to the situation at the beginning, there is no need to kill these people, and there is still trouble in killing them, and they need to pay a certain price, so they are just secretly protected and controlled. This is the most reasonable and cost-effective, and it is sufficient.

This is like a rebellion of 5,000 bandits, and the imperial court could not have sent 100,000 troops to conquer it from the beginning? The army was dispatched to ask for money and food! Under normal circumstances, a maximum of 20,000 or 30,000 troops would be dispatched.

When hiding those key person certificates, what everyone thought at that time was that even if things were wrong, it would not be too late to silence them, after all, those people couldn't escape.

But who would have thought that when the case broke out today, the Zhao family would find these people at night, and this action was too fast!

They have absolutely no reaction time.

Just when Xu Minglang was in pain in his heart, he noticed that Zhao Xuan came over with great grace, smiled, and said with a playful face: "Xu Xiang, my father is still waiting for you to continue to talk big, why don't you keep talking?"

Hearing Zhao Xuanji's ridicule and seeing the other party's appearance of holding a wisdom bead and being high, Xu Minglang only felt that his five organs were surging, and the blood veins in his body were about to explode.

Raising a trembling finger and pointing at the other party, he finally didn't say a word, but his throat was sweet, and he felt a mouthful of old blood gushing up.

Zhao Xuanji ...... Don't be complacent too early!" Swallowing back the old blood with all his might, Xu Minglang was so uncomfortable that he couldn't describe it in words, his face was very gray, and he whispered to the heads of the family on the left and right: "Let's go!"
