Liu Jing invited all the nobles, heroes, and heads of official families to the yamen of the official office. Dozens of people saluted and talked to each other about something.

"Why didn't Liu Yushi invite us to the banquet? Why don't you see anyone coming? Everyone waited in the hall for a long time, but they didn't see Liu Jing come out, and one of them was impatient and asked the attendant next to him.

"Noble, I don't know." The attendant said very respectfully, but the style seemed perfunctory no matter how it looked.

"You don't know? Liu Yushi invited me to come to the banquet, you are Liu Yushi's attendants, how can you not know? Pingyang Bo Nie Ting next to him frowned, and immediately got up to leave.

"Noble, you can't leave." The attendant stopped him directly.

Pingyang Bo Nie Ting's face changed, and he asked directly, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Liu Yushi has an order, let all the nobles rest here and not leave!" The squire continued.

"What? He Liu Jing is the imperial historian, but we are not muddy, what crime did we commit, he actually imprisoned the nobles of the imperial court? The others shouted when they heard the squire's words.

"Get out of the way, I'm going back to the court and join him!"

"Yes, I'm going back to him too!" For a while, many nobles, heroes, and heads of official families in the hall said one after another. Those attendants naturally knew who they were, and they didn't dare to come hard, but they didn't dare to let them out.

For a while, everyone was frozen here, and when those family heads saw that these people didn't dare to do anything to them, they immediately pushed and shoved and were about to go out, but more than a dozen attendants couldn't stop them, and practiced and retreated.

"Fellow sages and nobles, this official is busy with affairs, so he came one step late, and I hope you don't want to be surprised." Liu Jing saw the situation here from afar and immediately spoke.

The people who were about to rush out just now saw Liu Jing coming, so they had to give up, and then saluted him: "I don't know what we have done, let Liu Yushi lock us up here?" ”

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, this official is one step late." Liu Jingru said like a spring breeze.

"Misunderstanding? Liu Yushi, I'm afraid it's not a misunderstanding! Another noble next to him sneered.

"Gong Li misunderstood, Liu is indeed in a hurry."

"It's urgent, I'm afraid it's not in a hurry to go to my house and wait for the house!" Li Huang sneered.

"What? Liu Jing, you are so bold! What kind of crime have we committed, you dare to raid the Viscount of the Dynasty at will! ”

"If you don't give an explanation today, Benjue will participate in your wanton detention of the nobles of the imperial court and search the nobles' homes without charge!" In the hall, everyone said dissatisfiedly.

Seeing these people tearing their faces, Liu Jing sneered and said: "You don't have a crime and sit in the law, it's not what the official says, but what the "Great Cadre Law" says. When the official finishes copying the house, he will naturally report to the court! ”

"The evidence of "Da Qianlu" is conclusive, only those who are guilty can raid their homes, you have already committed a taboo by copying your house without guilt, Benjue wants to see how long you can be rampant!" Pingyuan Hou Li Huang sneered.

"This is none of the matter of the Marquis of Pingyuan, and when the time comes, the official will ask His Majesty for his guilt." Liu Jing said coldly.

"Good!" Pingyuan Hou stopped talking, and immediately returned to the hall and sat upright. It seems that the person who was angry just now was not him.

Seeing this situation, the rest of the nobles, Haoqiang, and the heads of the official families had to go back, since they had already torn their faces, Liu Jing naturally wouldn't give them face anymore, and they didn't want to think about leaving.

Liu Jing watched everyone retreat, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then immediately sent someone to speed up the search of the house and find the evidence of these people's crimes. This time, he violated the "Great Cadre Law" by locking everyone up and forcibly raiding their homes. In this way, even if evidence of guilt is found, his political future is ruined.

After all, no one wants to be forcibly raided for no reason, and this time he has completely disobeyed the rules. At that time, regardless of success or failure, he will no longer hold an official position, and even His Majesty will not be able to protect him.

When Liu Jing left, those attendants did not stay, but guarded outside the hall, Li Huang looked at the others around him and asked softly, "Everyone, have all the family affairs been arranged?" If there is any disclosure, then you can only ask for more blessings! ”

"Don't worry, sir, I have been strictly abiding by the rules all these years, and I don't dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step!" Others said.

"In that case, then I'll just wait here, and sit back and watch Liu Jing perish!" After saying this, they sat down and continued to talk about the mysteries, as if they were not imprisoned here.

On the other side, after inviting all the heads of the families of noble and powerful officials to be locked up in the government office, Yu Linwei immediately led his soldiers to start raiding the house.

Thousands of people completely surrounded these noble houses, and then went directly to the door to open the door and raid the house, but just as these people were about to bang on the door, the gate suddenly opened on its own.

Then a person who looked like a steward came out and said, "Lords, I don't know what the so-called thing is? ”

"Doctor Yu Shi has an order, and we will be ordered to raid the house!" The head of the official said.

"I don't know what we have committed? Can there be a court copy of the family documents? ”

"The paperwork is here!" The official immediately took out a copy of the order signed by the imperial historian. After seeing the order, the steward took the paperwork and immediately got out of the way.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please don't disturb the female dependents."

"I'll naturally know that I'm offended!" The official directly ordered the house to be searched.

At the same time, this scene is also staged in other noble and powerful houses, it seems that everything is normal, but it gives people a feeling of abnormality, yes, it is abnormal, it is too smooth, although he has not copied the house, but there are those who have heard that the house is honestly waiting?

But it's none of his business, the Imperial Doctor has an order, and they naturally have to obey it.

Liu Jing waited quietly in the government office, and about three hours later, the officials who had gone to raid the house came back one after another.

"Liu Yushi, we have seized a total of 80,000 stones, grains and grass, a total of 357,634 gold, silver and copper coins, and 120 pieces of various rare treasures, among which another person went to the manor outside the city to confiscate."

"Did you find evidence that those people broke the law?" Liu Jing asked.

"Not really." The official said.

"What?" Liu Jing got up suddenly, then stepped forward and said, "No evidence of their crimes? ”

"Nope." The official said.

"Didn't they embezzle for two days, persecute the people, and annex land to buy and sell people?"

"We have carefully checked, these are indeed not, not even the people of the clan hold the land on their behalf, they are really divided into households, we checked their account books, and we have checked their income several times, and even the deviation of the family's property is not more than ten times."

Hearing this, Liu Jing only felt that his eyes were dark, and a thought suddenly rose in his heart: 'Fooled! ’
