"This ...... I don't know why Xiangye said this? Now His Majesty's attitude has to be brought to the bottom before he can give up! ”

"Is it difficult for Xiangye, is there any other way to make His Majesty stop here?"

Hearing what Xiao Daoling said, the officials present were suspicious

Asked suspiciously.

"What Your Majesty is saying now is just to win back the hearts of the people."

"If His Majesty wants to make a decision between the hearts of the people and the court, what should he do?"

Xiao Daoling smiled coldly, stared at everyone present and asked.

"What does Xiangye mean by this? Please also be explicit. ”

These officials present didn't understand what Xiao Daoling said at all, after all, is it difficult to achieve between the people and the imperial court?

"If Your Majesty wants to investigate this matter, it is necessary to send a special envoy to find out this matter."

"Just ask, now in the court, who dares to say that they have nothing to do with this matter?"

"As long as the body is not clean, no matter who His Majesty sends, he will never think of bringing this matter to the bottom of the matter!"

Xiao Daoling smiled coldly and said proudly.

"Could it be that Gonggong Cao and Prime Minister Lin are also related to this matter?"

This group of officials instantly remembered the two most powerful assistants on Xu Jing's side, so they hurriedly asked.

"These two more or less know that Cao Gong is indeed involved in this matter, although he has already withdrawn halfway."

"As for Lin Hai, he may not have been involved in this matter, but the Lin family may not."

"The account book in the old man's hand is clearly remembered, and the Lin family has benefited a lot from it."

"If Lin Hai insists on finding out about this matter, the old man doesn't mind splashing this dirty water on Lin Hai's head."

Xiao Daoling smiled slightly and said lightly.

The officials present were extremely dumbfounded, they couldn't believe that Xiao Daoling had such a meticulous layout, even the two most important officials on Xu Jing's side were actually deeply involved in this matter.

For a while, many officials only felt that Xiao Daoling in front of them was unfathomable and could not be an enemy!

"Xiangye deserves to be the first prime minister of the three dynasties in my great cadre! Really far-sighted! ”

"However, as we recall, it seems that there are two others who were not involved in this matter."

"One is the current Shangshu Ling Xu Sen, and the other is Jiang Zhenting, the son of the champion Hou."

"If Your Majesty uses these two people, what should we do?"

While admiring Xiao Daoling, these officials quickly thought of the two younger officials, and immediately asked.

"These two, Xu Sen has no obvious background but has a family, if this person really wants to track down, the old man has to use his family's life to coerce him to shut up!"

"As for Jiang Zhenting, this person has already been trapped in Gentle Township, where does he have the time and energy to investigate this matter?"

"The old man only needs to use a little trick, Jiang Zhenting will obediently shut up!"

Xiao Daoling laughed and said proudly.

"Wonderful! Wonderful! The prime minister is worthy of being the prime minister, and even these two have already been laid out! ”

Hearing that Xiao Daoling had already prepared a strategy, the officials present were all overjoyed and complimented Xiao Daoling again and again.

"You don't have to be like this, you are all courtiers, and you should support each other."

"Tonight, how about eating in the Xiao Mansion?"

Xiao Daoling waved his hand to shirk everyone's compliments, and at the same time asked the officials present.

"Naturally, it's a great honor for me to be able to dine with Xiangye!"

The officials nodded quickly one by one and echoed what Xiao Daoling said.

"Someone! Prepare for the dinner, the old man should treat all the adults present well! ”

Xiao Daoling laughed and said happily.

The officials present were also full of red faces, as if they were as festive as being promoted and making a fortune.

On the other side, Xu Jing's carriage was also rushing back to the capital.

"Your Majesty, tonight Xiao Daoling is going to have a banquet in the mansion for the second- and third-grade officials in the court."

"Come to think of it, you have already communicated with each other. This matter ......"

As soon as he returned to the capital, Jin Yiwei informed Gonggong Cao of everything that happened in the Xiao Mansion through letters.

Gonggong Cao carefully informed Xu Jing of these contents one by one.

"In this case, there is no need to summon the ministers, just let Lin Hai, Xu Sen, Jiang Zhenting and others enter the East Palace."

Xu Jing hesitated slightly, and then dispelled the idea of meeting the ministers.

If Xiao Daoling has colluded with the rest of the officials, Xu Jing will only get opposition if he sees these people again, but it is better to only see his own cronies.

"No, the slave will arrange for someone to go and invite a few adults."

After receiving the order, Gonggong Cao nodded again and again and said.

Soon, when Xu Jing had just returned to the East Palace, the three of them also entered the East Palace one after the other.

"Your Majesty!"

The three of them knelt in front of Xu Jing and shouted.

"Guys, get up, don't be so stubborn. I summoned a few of you today and you must know what it is. ”

Xu Jing waved his hand, motioned for everyone present to get up, and then asked lightly.

"Naturally, it is clear that it is probably inseparable from the case of the female corpse in the mansion in the capital."

"Your Majesty needs us to investigate this matter?"

Lin Hai nodded and said the guess 1510 for the other two.

"Indeed, I summoned you for this purpose. However, I already have a plan in mind about the candidates for the special envoy. ”

"Let Er and others come today, just to know one thing."

Xu Jing said this, pausing slightly to observe the faces of the people present.

Among them, Lin Hai, Xu Sen and Jiang Zhenting were all in a stable mood, but Cao Gong's face was not good-looking, and his breathing couldn't help but be short.

"In order to know that everyone present has anything to do with this matter?"

"Now that I open my mouth, I can not blame the past, but if I do it clearly, and I have to deliberately cover it up, I will not spare it!"

When Xu Jing said this, his eyes drifted to Gonggong Cao, intentionally or unintentionally.

Gonggong Cao was so frightened that he trembled, he knew that Xu Jing had probably guessed that he had something to do with this matter.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! The minions are indeed involved! ”

"It's just that when the minions participated, they only knew that they wanted to establish Fengyue places in various parts of Daqian, and they could get wealth from them, and the minions didn't know that they dared to kill people like this!"

"If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can imprison the slave until the truth is ascertained!"

Knowing that this was his last chance, Gonggong Cao no longer concealed it, knelt in front of Xu Jing and said loudly what he knew.

"What about waiting?"

Xu Jing looked at Gonggong Cao's expressionless face, and quickly fell on the rest of the people.

"There are four members of the courtier's family involved in this matter, and they are officials in various places. If Your Majesty wants to ask for the guilt, the minister will go back and arrest you. ”

Lin Hai was expressionless, and he told everything he knew.

"Very well, what I want is for you to tell the truth. As for your guilt, I will ignore it for the time being. More on that later. ”

"However, I am by no means protecting you and others, but just giving you a chance to confess and be lenient."

Xu Jing was very satisfied with everyone's attitude, nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, will most of the officials in the court be like Gonggong Cao now?"
