The fast-traveling girl has no feelings for her

Chapter 84
No.14 Chapters - The Emperor's Attack

The palace, the imperial study.

The tall desk was full of memorials, and the emperor, who was currently immersed in reviewing the memorials, would occasionally take a sip of tea with his hand.

Since he took the golden sacred fruit of heaven and earth given by Immortal Master Lin, he has become several years younger.Now I have dealt with government affairs for two hours in a row, but I don't feel tired yet.

However, he still has some doubts about the origin of this Immortal Master Lin. It's just that the methods that the Immortal Master showed before were very extraordinary, which made him worry that if he secretly investigated these things, if the Immortal Master Lin found out, he would let the other party know. not happy.

He had just finished processing a bunch of memorials, and called the eunuch on duty to take down all the processed memorials and send them to the provincial government for review.

When the eunuch came over, he took out a stack of black memorials from his sleeve, placed it next to the emperor's hand, then lowered his head and took down the stack of memorials in front of him.

This kind of black memorial was submitted by Anbu, who was in charge of monitoring the officials in the palace.

The emperor raised his hand to pick up the stack of black memorials. As soon as he opened the memorials, from right to left, and from top to bottom, he saw a series of names that he was very familiar with.

Each of these names written with a vermilion brush is a person who has reached out to the Treasury of the Ministry of Households, from the second-rank officials to the ninth-rank sesame officials. That was shocking.

But he still insisted on reading the complete list.

After reading it, veins popped out on his forehead. He slammed the memorial on the table with his right hand, and gradually clenched his right hand into a fist, revealing the incomparable anger in the heart of the owner of the hand.

Worms!
These people are moths, blood-sucking worms lying on my country and desperately sucking blood!
Although he knew that honest officials were hard to find, he couldn't imagine that the officials under his family could be so greedy!There was a severe drought in Jiangbei last year, and this group of people dared to give out the relief food and relief money used for disaster relief!
The year before last, the land dragon in the southwestern mountainous area turned over and overwhelmed countless houses. I don’t know how many people were homeless and displaced. However, even the life-saving money and food used to rebuild the people’s homes and exchange food for food were still dared to be greedy!
If things go on like this, isn't it true that my country will not be a country, and the building will collapse!

The emperor was already extremely angry in his heart, and now his face was even more livid and frightening.

He even saw that behind the unscrupulous stretching out of this group of people, the protective umbrellas extending layer after layer finally fell in his own palace.

It seems that I have sat on the throne for a long time, and some people can't wait!
In order to seize the position, he dared to indulge his subordinates in this way to be corrupt and fight for power and profit. If he really let some people take the position, then it would be fine!
The emperor sat alone in the study, thinking hard for a long time.

Finally a decision was made.

The most corrupt ones, he will kill a batch, and arrest a batch, fine a batch, and deter a batch of the remaining ones.

When all the officials are corrupt, you can't kill them all at once.

Power and money are like a bright candle that night, and everyone will involuntarily pounce on it like a moth.

Phototaxis is the nature of moths, and greed is the nature of human beings.

What grows from the root can never be cut off.

The emperor, who knew this well, made the most appropriate decision he could make at this time.

Following the order after order, the imperial guards in the palace began to move out of the palace on a large scale.

After leaving the palace, these forbidden troops were divided into several teams.

The leaders of the team held the imperial decree, and each led a team of elite soldiers behind them, and they were on their way at full speed.

All the people in Jinling City went out one after another to watch the grand occasion, only to see the black imperial guards rushing past their eyes like a torrent.

"The imperial guards are doing business! Idlers stay away!"

Some of the common people who were blocking the Forbidden Army Road stepped aside after hearing the words and opened a way.

Some civilians who saw the whereabouts of a group of imperial troops murmured, "Look at this direction, it seems that the left servant is going to shoot at the master's house, right? Could it be that the master has committed something?"

The left servant shoots at the mansion.

This old man over half a century old is playing a game of hide-and-seek with a dozen young and beautiful concubines in his back garden.

Blindfolded by a silk handkerchief, he was running around like a headless chicken.

As a result, he turned around and bumped into someone, and he grinned with great joy.

"Beauty! Master, I have caught you!"

As he spoke, he took off his blindfolded silk handkerchief happily, and prepared to kiss the beauty Fangze.

But when he opened his eyes, he saw that the person in front of him was so delicate and beautiful.
The person who came was wearing a black military armor and a red-tasseled iron helmet on his head. He was clearly the forbidden army in the palace!

Before Mr. Zuo Pushe opened his mouth to reprimand someone for intruding into his mansion, the latter reached out and took out a scroll of bright yellow imperial decree, and said coldly, "Master Zuo Pushe, please kneel down and accept the decree!"

what?
Zuo Pushe was startled at first, and after seeing clearly what the other party was holding in his hand, he immediately knelt down and shouted in fear, "Your respectful hearing!"

When the person who arrived finished reading the imperial decree, his face was pale and his body was limp on the ground.

It's over, it's over!He's all over!
……

In another alleyway of Jinling City, a forbidden army was hurrying on its way.

"Quick, quick, quick! Go to Shang Shuxing Yousi Langzhong's house immediately!"

When the army arrived at the home of Dr. Youji, the man who had heard the news was about to jump over the wall in his backyard to escape, but was caught by the imperial army passing by the back door.

"Yousi Langzhong, something happened to you, please come with us!"

"No, no, you made a mistake, I am not Master Yousi Langzhong. I am just a servant of his family... No, you can't arrest me, you can't arrest me..."

……

At the mansion of the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry was shocked when he heard the person announce the decree. He couldn't help but raised his head, looked at the person and said, "This, someone must have deceived the Holy Majesty! The lower officials are clean and honest, and they have never been corrupt. What have you done! This Lord Commander, I want to meet the Holy Majesty, I want to meet the Holy Majesty!"

The commander of the imperial army who came here said indifferently, "Whether you are an upright official or not, we will know after our people search!"

What?The minister of the Ministry of Industry suddenly trembled in his heart.

He thought to himself, his mother-in-law should have hidden all the money, right?No one from the Forbidden Army should be able to find out, right?
Not long after, the crying of his mother-in-law suddenly came from outside, along with the screaming and cursing of his precious son.

"You people are so audacious! You actually dare to attack me. Do you know who I am? Do you know who my father is? My father is the minister of the Ministry of Industry. Please let me go!"

At this time, his wife had been escorted into the main hall, and when she saw him, she cried loudly, "Master! Just now, Yun'er asked me for money to send out, so I gave him a few hundred taels from the bank, but in the end I was caught by this group of people! This group of people even confiscated all of our family's bank treasury, master, what should our family do now! Master, please say something!"

As soon as the minister of the Ministry of Industry heard what she said earlier, his whole heart became cold.

When he heard that the wealth that his family had accumulated for most of his life was gone, he immediately rushed forward in a rage, and "slapped" was two big ear scrapers on his mother-in-law's face, which made her stunned for a while. .

"You stupid woman! You are the one who killed me! You, you not only killed me, you also killed my whole family!"

When his son saw his father beating his mother, he immediately opened his mouth to argue for his mother, "Father, my mother was right, why did you beat her? My mother was also beaten by these people to give me money." found……"

Before he could finish his words, he was "slapped" twice by the furious old man of his family.

"Shut up! Your mother is a fool, and you are also a fool! If your father and I hadn't given birth to you, a prodigal thing, how could I have reached out to do those dirty things? It's not all for the sake of You!"

After hearing this, his son immediately became unhappy.

"Dad, you have become greedy for money. What does it have to do with your son and me? I won't take the blame!"

After hearing this, the minister of the Ministry of Industry was almost so angry that he didn't bring it up.

"You, you, you pervert!"

He has never been a playboy!The ancients do not deceive me!
Before he could continue cursing, the commander of the forbidden army directly ordered the whole family to be taken away.

Almost at the same moment, countless big and small officials in Jinling City, and even the homes of some nobles, were in chaos.

The imperial decree of the emperor to severely punish corrupt officials has already come out of the palace, and a shining long knife hanging above everyone's heads has also been erected.

The imperial decree was handed down by the forbidden army, and the homes of the officials who ransacked their homes were all crying and crying, and those families who had not been handed down the decree were all trembling at home waiting for the news.

escape?There is no escape now.

At this moment, all four entrances and exits of Jinling City were controlled by the imperial army, just to prevent people from fleeing the city during the purge.

In the study of Duke Dingguo's mansion, Fu Le and Fu Cong, father and son, were sitting facing each other, with serious expressions on their faces.

Fu Le said, "The Holy Majesty's will came too fast, and many people were simply caught off guard."

Fu Cong hesitated for a while before asking his father, "Dad, you said the imperial edict will come to our house..."

Hearing that the servants kept coming to report that Zuo Pushe, You Si Lang Zhong, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and other officials, large and small, had been arrested one after another, he, a playboy, had to admit in his heart that he was also a little scared.

You know, once the person sitting in the supreme position raises the butcher knife, everyone will tremble under his knife.

"No. This fire won't reach our family for the time being. However, many people who are familiar with our family will be unlucky."

When Fu Le said this, he couldn't help but sighed again.

People often say that Feng Shui takes turns.

These aristocratic families of theirs are indeed extremely glamorous from the outside, but they are all maintained by the Holy Grace and the Holy Family on the inside.

Once it comes to the moment when someone in the palace seizes the heir, the danger is that if one wrong step is made, the whole game will be lost!

This time he was on the team of the eldest prince, and he didn't know whether this step was right or wrong.

"Although the Holy Majesty has issued an order to arrest people everywhere, he will never arrest people endlessly. There must be a stop loss point for this matter. After all, when going to court, you need to have a full court, and the Holy Majesty still has to stay. For human use."

After hearing what his father said, Fu Cong also nodded.

The father and son talked from time to time, while still waiting for the movement outside today.

I don't know how many people will be arrested in Jinling City until the end of the day!

……

In a beautiful place outside the palace, there is the residence of the third prince.

On the edge of a water pavilion with gurgling water and a lotus wind, the third prince was playing a lyre in his hand.

The sound of the piano curled up, as clear as a mountain spring, infiltrating the hearts of the people, and it seemed a bit out of tune with the wind and rain in the city outside at this time.

A pretty lady-in-waiting was standing by his side making tea for him.

This woman is exactly the one Lin Shu met when she entered the palace. Accompanied by this woman, the Seventh Prince shot a fatal arrow at Lin Shu's head, but was shot The latter managed to escape.

It was just a melody, and the court lady Xia Mu handed her a pure white handkerchief to wipe her hands.

While wiping his hands, the third prince turned his head to look at the people around him.

"Why hasn't Xiao Qi come to see you at home recently?"

Xia Muchui replied, "I heard that His Highness the Seventh Prince was punished by the Holy Majesty to confine her feet in the palace because she offended the Immortal Master Lin of the Lin Mansion earlier."

"Immortal Master? It's just that he knows some tricks to pretend to be gods and ghosts. Father, he is old, and he loves to believe in these gods and ghosts. This time, it is also because of Lin Zhengxian that the entire Jinling City is disturbed. .” When the third prince said this, his tone was very cold.

Xia Mu did not dare to accept His Highness's words and just lowered his head and listened.

Suddenly, the third prince stretched out his fair and slender right hand, and raised her chin, forcing the latter to meet his eyes.

"Mu'er, I heard that Brother Dahuang met you yesterday? Tell me, what did he say to you?"

Xia Mu's heart trembled, she opened her beautiful eyes wide, looked at the third prince and said, "The eldest prince just happened to pass by the servant, he didn't say anything to the servant."

"Oh, really?"

The third prince played with his fingers for a while on the pink lips of the person in front of him, and he didn't let go of his hand until the person was about to cry.

"Mu'er, do you know how His Highness thinks of you?"

"Yes, the servant knows. But the servant's status is humble, and she is not worthy of your favor..."

"Hey, Mu'er don't need to be humble. Since my highness likes you, it means that you still have merit. After I marry the prince and concubine, I will officially find an auspicious day to accept you."

After hearing such a rewarding tone, Xia Mu suddenly felt resentment.

She raised her head and looked at the man in front of her, the man she loved with all her heart and was willing to sacrifice everything for him. Underneath the deep love in her eyes was hidden resentment that was so subtle that no one knew it.

"Third Highness, can this servant know who the concubine you are going to marry is the Immortal Master Lin from the Lin Mansion?"

"How could you think of that little slut Lin Shu? She's not even worthy to carry His Highness's shoes."

The third prince sneered at first, and then said seriously, "Master Zhongshuling has already decided to marry his daughter to His Highness. When the recent turmoil is over, it's time to find a good day to hold the wedding ceremony."

Xia Mu's heart shrank. For some reason, she didn't want His Highness to marry a wife so soon.

She thought for a while and said, "The one from the Lin Mansion, what should I do now?"

The third prince replied with a sneer, "Don't worry, Your Highness has already found a way to deal with her. I heard that she, Lin Shu, hung a wooden sign on the gate of her courtyard, saying that she would not marry, right? My Highness is going to fulfill her .Since she said she would not marry, then I will let her marry even if she wants to!"

After hearing this, Xia Mu was slightly taken aback.

She couldn't help raising her head, and looked at the handsome man in white clothes Shengxue who was as handsome as an orchid orchid and jade tree.

Only she knows what kind of heart is hidden under the gentle and handsome appearance of His Highness the Third Prince.

Anyone who stands in his way will be eliminated by him with ruthless lightning methods, including her naturally.
