Chapter 435: Captain Ting
Chu Xiu has always been very concerned about the situation above the court, after all, in addition to his own strength and cultivation, power is also the foundation of his life, so he has to pay attention to it.
And what the emperor wants to do to the Zhou family, Chu Xiu actually knew it for a long time, but this is the emperor's own layout, and it has nothing to do with Chu Xiu, he doesn't need to care, and he doesn't need to interfere.
But after listening to the words of the others, especially when he heard that the Zhou family had transported so many treasures out of the city, Chu Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up.
Doesn't he particularly need those precious materials right now?
The materials he is accelerating now are also completely insufficient, and more materials are needed to fill them.
So where is the most material? It must be those big families.
The wealth they have accumulated over the years is not the best supply for Chu Xiu?
After thinking of this, Chu Xiu slapped his forehead violently and said with a sudden realization.
"I've been so confused lately, I've forgotten such a crucial thing."
"When I fought against the Ji family before, I obtained countless treasures from their hands, why can't I draw blood from other families now?"
"Anyway, the emperor is going to deal with these families, and my duty is the same, isn't it easy to grab all their treasures?"
After figuring this out, Chu Xiu suddenly felt a little regretful.
Yesterday, the emperor personally found Chu Xiu and wanted Chu Xiu to go to the Imperial Governor's Office, and his purpose was to deal with the family.
But at that time, Chu Xiu wanted to speed up, and did not agree to the emperor's request, and now it seems that this is really a bad move.
Chu Xiu pondered for a moment, feeling that he should go to the emperor as soon as possible to see if he could accept this task again.
"Let's go, enter the palace!"
After Chu Xiu made up his mind, he ran directly to the palace without any hesitation, and along the way, Chu Xiu had already thought of an excuse, and after seeing the emperor, Chu Xiu knelt on the ground and said loudly.
"Your Majesty!"
"The minister has his own music!"
The emperor was a little surprised after seeing Chu Xiu, and he was still worried about what work should be arranged for Chu Xiu, but he didn't expect Zhang Hui to take the initiative to come to the door, and he was in a hurry, as if there was something big.
The emperor hurriedly asked.
"Aiqing, what's wrong with you? Is there something big about it? ”
Chu Xiu said impatiently.
"Your Majesty, the minister has just received a tip, the Zhou family... To be treasonous! ”
After listening to Chu Xiu's words, the emperor's expression instantly became serious.
He wants to deal with the Zhou family, this is already a very clear political signal, and almost everyone knows it.
The problem he was most worried about now was that the Zhou family would commit treason, but he didn't expect Chu Xiu to come over with this information, and the emperor said in a hurry.
"This is not a trivial matter, you can't talk nonsense, where did you get the information?"
Where does Chu Xiu have any information? He was just trying to figure out what the emperor was thinking, but he had already thought of an excuse before he came, and now he just had to say it.
"Your Majesty, I have been observing the situation of the Zhou family last night, and I found that they transported a large number of treasures out of the city."
"But instead of going back to their lair, they headed for the border."
"It's already obvious that they're going to commit treason, otherwise why don't they go home?"
After hearing Chu Xiu's information, the emperor suddenly stood up and said sharply.
"They're really lawless, I haven't done it yet, but they're going to strike first."
Chu Xiu saw this situation and knew that his plan had succeeded, and the emperor estimated that he would not distinguish between the truth and falsehood of the information, and he would definitely do it immediately, so Chu Xiu would have a great chance to take the initiative to ask for help.
Chu Xiu said with a heavy face.
"Your Majesty, you asked me to go to the Imperial Governor's Office yesterday, and I guessed that it would be related to this matter, but considering that I don't know much about the situation in the capital, I didn't take this task right away."
"But now it seems that the matter is imminent, and I can't refuse!"
"Your Majesty, let me handle this matter!"
The emperor glanced at Chu Xiu with satisfaction and nodded silently.
The reason why he brought Chu Xiu back this time was that he hoped that Chu Xiu would use his successful experience to deal with those big families.
And the Zhou family is the first goal to do it.
Yesterday, the emperor raised this question, but Chu Xiu refused, and the emperor was not easy to force.
I didn't expect Chu Xiu to agree again now, that's great, what the emperor needs most now is a right-hand man like Chu Xiu.
"Good! Chu Aiqing, since you have declared righteousness like this, then I won't say anything more. ”
"I will immediately issue an order, if you become a court lieutenant, you must strictly investigate the treason of the Zhou family!"
After Chu Xiu got the emperor's holy decree, the whole person was extremely excited, the situation was obvious, the restaurant still had so many treasures in the capital, and countless resources, if Chu Xiu could grab them all, the accelerated process would definitely be shortened a little longer.
Chu Xiu now has a holy decree in his hand, and he doesn't have to think about those messy human feelings anymore, anyway, he has already offended those big families, so he just does things very well.
After Chu Xiu came to the Imperial Governor's Office, the first order he issued was to arrest all the people in the entire Zhou family.
"Everyone obeys my orders, as long as the Zhou family personnel are in Beijing, regardless of men, women, and children, all arrest them!"
The officials of the Imperial Court Office were stunned, the Zhou family is not an ordinary family, the tree has big roots and deep roots, even the emperor cannot give an order to arrest them all, this is outrageous.
Their family's base is no longer in the capital, and if they arrest everyone now, wouldn't this be tantamount to forcing people to rebel?
The consequences were so serious that no one was willing to carry out the order, the officials said with helpless faces.
"My lord, this order of yours is too hasty, even if we arrest people, we must have proof of guilt."
"Now that you have no evidence, you are going to arrest the whole family, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."
Facing the doubts of the officials, Chu Xiu asked with a sneer.
"If you don't arrest them, when will you find evidence?"
These officials were stunned, the Zhou family has always been very tight, and they don't even have a pigtail. What's more, people didn't plan to rebel in the first place, isn't this a crime to add to it? The officials shook their heads in embarrassment.
"My lord, we really don't have any evidence now."
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty also asked us to look for it, but we couldn't find it. ”
"You can't just make it up out of thin air, can you? The Zhou family is not vegetarian either! ”
