Sui and Tang Dynasties: Beginning with Overlord Inheritance

So he dug a tunnel and temporarily stored the silver.

Even if the Cui family is found at that time, they will not be able to find the money, nor will they be able to search the house. Without the key evidence, they will be fine.

Wait until the weather is calm before taking it out, and everything will be fine.

It's just that who would have thought that the current Holy Majesty would personally investigate this matter?

Yang Zhao smiled, this speed is what he wanted.

At present, the matter of water transport is completely resolved.

The people's affairs are already in place, and the money is also in place, and the rest is just waiting.

Now the national treasury has been partially filled, and some small gentry have had their homes ransacked.

All the money went to the treasury.

Yang Zhao only needs to stare at these gentry who came to the capital.

These people are the most important!

If this group of people is taken down in one fell swoop, the national treasury must be very full.

No matter what you do, you have confidence.

"Well, it's not that those nobles didn't think of a reason, but they didn't take it seriously, otherwise, they would have entered the palace on the first day."

Yang Zhao sneered, he knew this group of people very well.

They are all guys who eat people without spitting out their bones!
"How many factions are they divided into now?"

Yang Zhao asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, the three sects."

"The biggest one is the Cui family. They have already attracted several famous noble families and gathered in Cui's mansion. The main reason is to muddy the water."

"The second is the Wang faction. Their main purpose is to protect people from coming out."

"The last is the Bai family. They are the smallest group. After inquiring, they are here to see the wind."

Shen Lian's Jin Yiwei has already figured out the situation of all schools.

Yang Zhao nodded, and the three situations were still within his expectations.

There is no need to think about the Cui faction, they must be the leader. The rest of the gentry are all big gentry, with the most corruption, and the crimes are capital crimes and consecutive sittings.

They don't care about the life and death of the person who entered the court, all they want is to muddy the water.

Because only in this way can they have a chance to escape.

As for mitigation, that is impossible.

This kind of crime was judged by the emperor himself, and it is impossible to withdraw it.

The Wang family is different, most of them are not very serious, so they will manage up and down. Without those officials, the gentry will plummet.

Without status, it means that there is no money. They also want to reduce the charges, but they will be more open and aboveboard.

The last Bai clan, they are some relatively small gentry clans, and they will be fine after being closed for a while.

Then there is the relegation penalty.

It doesn't matter to them.

The main purpose is to find out the specific situation, so that they can find the right person when they want to curry favor with others in the future.

Don't end up with a notorious, thankless gentry, and they're doomed.

Keep your eyes open, analyze with your eyesight, and find a way out for yourself.

For them, it is also an opportunity, as long as the boss finds a good one, then they will be on the rise in the future.

The forces behind it will also rise with the tide.

This kind of people can't make much noise, at most it's just an appetizer.

"Okay, I see. During this period of time, keep an eye on Cui's mansion, and report any movement at any time."

Yang Zhao nodded, very satisfied with the results of this investigation.

"By the way, a jailer went to Cui's mansion today and said something to the housekeeper. The housekeeper gave him 30 taels."

Shen Lian suddenly thought of something, and reported it after thinking about it.

After all, it seems like a trivial matter.

It is normal for a jailer to appear at the door of the government office.

It's all the officials in the prison who want to send news home and try to save themselves.

Shen Lian is the subject of professional ethics, and feels that any trivial matter needs to be reported.

The rest of the considerations are out of his control.

Yang Zhao was a little interested when he heard the words:
"Oh? Cui Rong is really good at it, even the jailers are in collusion."

"It seems that the prison is not necessarily clean."

"I thought that the dirtier the place, the cleaner it will be."

Shen Lian did not reply, but continued to say:

"In the prison, the situation in the past few days is the same as His Majesty guessed, and it is not satisfactory."

Yang Zhao guessed before that when the officials are imprisoned, those jailers must be earning a lot of money.

The life of an official must be quite nourishing.

Sure enough, Shen Lian quietly sneaked in with a few Jin Yiwei, which was even more exaggerated than what Yang Zhao said.

"Any more?"

Yang Zhao asked.

Shen Lian shook his head.

"Go on, come back if there is a situation."

Shen Lian left, and not long after, Xu Maogong went alone.

After receiving Yang Zhao's call in the middle of the night, Xu Maogong arrived in his carriage without stopping for a moment.

"Your Majesty, why are you so anxious? Is there any movement from the gentry?"

Xu Maogong felt the tension of the matter very keenly.

Yang Zhao directly shared the situation uploaded by Shen Lian, and Xu Maogong said after pondering for a while:
"Your Majesty wants me to go to prison?"

Yang Zhao nodded and said:
"Well, go knock and beat, if this goes on, where is the majesty?"

It's not that Xu Maogong is unwilling. Now that the gentry are in the capital, Yang Zhao has to take it step by step. He can only wait for the gentry to do it first.

After all, they are the ones who are at a disadvantage.

They must be the first to worry.

"Your Majesty, but in this way, we can clean up the alarmed snakes. At critical times, it's better to be safe."

But Xu Maogong did not agree with this plan.

Yang Zhao knew he would say that, and explained:

"Xu Gong misunderstood, how can anyone go to jail without punishment?"

"Don't those jailers like to flatter? I really want to see if those officials will give money to buy a lesson."

Looking at Yang Zhao's playful smile, Xu Maogong knew that His Majesty was trying to push the nobles.

"The gentry are afraid that they will go berserk, and the scene must be chaotic."

Xu Maogong sighed, he could already predict what would happen next.

Yang Zhao smiled:
"Isn't this more interesting? This trick is called, disaster flow."

When the contradictions are all gathered together and there is no way to solve them, then find a new contradiction and let the contradiction shift.

This is called risk hedging.

Yang Zhao is like watching a play now, he wants to see what else the gentry can do to save the day.

The next day, without any notice, Xu Maogong came to the prison with the gold medal bestowed by His Majesty.

"This officer is ordered to inspect, and you should hurry to get out of the way!"

Xu Maogong rushed in with Su Wei and other generals.

This terrified everyone.

Even the jailer who wanted to report at the door didn't have time to go in and report.

There were still a few who wanted to stop them desperately, but they were all brought down by Su Wei and others.

Xu Maogong put several people in prison on the spot.

The few jailers never imagined that the one who watched the prison could see himself in it.

Inside the prison, the cell boss was trembling. He had expected it, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon!
