That night, a huge wave was set off in the great Kyoto.

The Jinyi Guard, who had not made a major move for decades, went around arresting officials tonight.

It caused panic among the hundreds of officials in the entire capital, and they all guessed what was going on.

Four days later, in front of the East Palace, there were seventeen officials with no less than five ranks.

"Say, who knows the news?"

Xu Jing sat on a dragon chair and stared coldly at this group of officials.

Kneeling in front of the hall, everyone looked panicked or heartbroken, or the old god was there, and their expressions were different.

The only thing that was the same, only none of the officials present, spoke.

"What? Want to go to prison? Xu Jing's cold eyes swept over the faces of these officials, and he spoke coldly.

"Your Majesty, the ministers really don't know what Your Majesty is asking for, and please ask Your Majesty for a famous word!"

One of the officials replied calmly.

"The money and grain that the cadres transported to the disaster area have disappeared, and they don't know anything about such important things? Am I really a fool? ”

Xu Jing sneered when he heard this, and looked at the official who opened his mouth playfully.

"Your Majesty Mingjian, the ministers are no more than the five-grade petty officials in the capital, and there are very few things that can be contacted. There is no way to know about such secrets. ”

"Yes! Please also ask Your Majesty to be clear! ”

The rest of the officials also shouted again and again, praying for Xu Jing.

"Shut up! I summoned you and the others, just to listen to your grievances? Since you don't see the coffin and don't cry, then you will be all sent to prison. ”

Xu Jing's expression was indifferent, he was not interested in listening to this group of officials shouting grievances, and with a wave of his hand, he handed over all the officials to Jinyiwei.

Hearing Xu Jing's words, the officials present were all afraid, and begged for mercy again and again: "Your Majesty! We will do our best to serve the great cadres, and the ministers are not guilty! Your Majesty can't Jiang and I wait to hand it over to Jinyiwei! ”

These officials have a natural fear of prison.

Since the establishment of the Imperial Prison, there have been not a hundred but fifty high-ranking officials who have been in it.

Once you are sent to prison, even if you are a first-class official in the dynasty, you can only survive and die.

That cold place is purgatory on earth! No one wants to go into it.

"I'm tired."

Xu Jing was completely uninterested in paying attention to the words of this group of officials, and waved his hand back.

"Your Majesty, the minions have been identified. King Langya does not seem to be involved in this matter. What's even more bizarre is that the fleet that disappeared didn't even leave the wreckage behind. ”

Gonggong Cao had also received some conclusive information from the dark line, and the king of Langya knew nothing about this matter.

"Check, all those involved in this matter, whether it is the vassal king or the common people, will check it for me!"

Xu Jing faintly felt that things were strange.

A huge sum of money disappeared on the river for such an inexplicable reason, and everyone on board and the fleet seemed to have evaporated from the world.

Xu Jing didn't believe it, there were really any ghosts and gods in this world, and the closest answer to the truth could only be, that fleet must still be floating on the river!

As Xu Jing opened his mouth again, Jin Yiwei searched everywhere as if he was crazy.

Unfortunately, nothing is known about this.

At the end of the year, the cold wind was bitter.

This incident involved a little chill in the hearts of the officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

No one wants to end up with a full slaughter on the day when the festival is approaching.

It wasn't until four days later, when Daqian ushered in the first snowfall, that a secret letter was sent to the East Palace.

"Your Majesty, there's news!"

Gonggong Cao took a fast horse and whipped to deliver the secret letter, and hurriedly walked towards Xu Jing.

"Go, bring the man."

After reading the secret letter, Xu Jing's face was extremely gloomy, even if the fire in the Xi Zheng Hall was flourishing, it was difficult to hide the solemnity.

Gonggong Cao took the letter, his face was full of surprise, he also believed that such a thing that had been deceived for nearly half a year was actually only done by a civilian?

Not long after, a middle-aged man covered in bloodied coarse linen was escorted to Xu Jing.

"Cao Ting, who is you instructed by?"

Xu Jing looked at this ordinary middle-aged man coldly and said coldly.

"No one instructed it, and the grass people did it alone."

Cao Ting was not afraid at all, and looked up at Xu Jing with a happy face.

"Presumptuous! This is the emperor of the dynasty, and he still doesn't bow his head? ”

Gonggong Cao was furious and motioned to Jinyi Wei to press down Cao Ting's head.

But Cao Ting stiffened his head and looked at Xu Jing coldly, not afraid of death at all.

"What? Aren't you afraid of implicating your family? I can promise you that as long as you confess the people behind the scenes, I will spare you from death. ”

Xu Jing didn't believe that a mere civilian could arrange everything.

It is extremely difficult for a fleet of ships on the river not to be searched by the Jinyi Guard.

Without multi-party cooperation, this would not have been possible.

"Family? The grass people's family died at the hands of His Majesty long ago, where is there any family? ”

Cao Ting couldn't stop sneering, and looked at Xu Jing with a sneer.

"The bones are hard enough, and I want to see how hard your bones can be. Press to the noon gate, in public! ”

Xu Jing looked indifferently at this Cao Ting, who boasted that his bones were hard enough, and said lightly: "By the way, add some ingredients to him, and water him with warm water from time to time, don't let him lose consciousness." ”

The word Ling Chi alone is enough to make people feel afraid.

The so-called Ling Chi is the most terrible torture in the entire Daqian law!

Let a person cut 3,000 knives when he is still awake, and feel the passage of life under sobriety and pain.

In the 300 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there are not even five fingers of people who can be tortured in this way.

"Your Majesty, please give me a good time! I don't want to be late! ”

The moment Xu Jing turned around indifferently, Cao Ting could no longer suppress his fear, and he yelled at Xu Jing.

"Pull it down!"

Xu Jing didn't even look back, and Gonggong Cao signaled Jinyiwei to take him away according to Xu Jing's order.

"Do you know why I'm not going to listen?"

Xu Jing glanced at Gonggong Cao, who was standing on the side, and said lightly.

"I don't know, but Your Majesty doesn't want to say it, and the slave doesn't dare to ask."

Gonggong Cao lowered his head and said in a shrill voice.

"Before a person reaches despair, what he says is probably a lie. Tomorrow, on the execution ground, he will obediently beg for pleasure. At that time, what he said was true. ”

Xu Jing said without raising his head while correcting the folds.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Gonggong Cao trembled and said, he didn't dare to look at this emperor.

The methods of this new emperor are really terrifying, and no less than thirty officials have been arrested in half a decade.

Those who were guilty of it, whether or not they had anything to do with disaster relief, were put to death.

The people killed were not only the cronies of the Xiao Mansion, but also the cronies of the Lin family!

It seems that Xu Jing deliberately told all the officials in the world that no matter which party or faction he is attached to above the court, as long as he violates the laws and regulations of the great cadres, none of them can escape death!

"By the way, in a few days, the vassal king will enter Beijing, right?"

After a while, Xu Jing suddenly joined forces and stared at the side, and Gonggong Cao asked coldly.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is indeed the case. This is the royal family law, no matter how far away the domain is, when the year is over, you must return to Beijing to report on your work. ”

"First, it is to provide convenience for the emperor to beat the royal family. The second is to test the vassal king's disobedience. ”

Gonggong Cao immediately made it clear that the vassal king had returned to Beijing.

Xu Jing's face was expressionless, and he looked at Gonggong Cao on the side and said coldly: "You say, how many of these uncles and uncles will not have the intention of rebellion this time?" ”
