Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

Ning Fan frowned and immediately felt something was wrong.

If it was really the Ninth Prince, and those people wanted to risk taking action against him, the king, then they would do it very covertly. But the current situation is that everyone seems to know that these people are going to rebel secretly.

This is a bit unusual. Why are news of rebellion flying all over the place? Who is deliberately creating these smoky smoke bombs?

And with Fang Zhengming's ability, can he easily find out the roots of this rebel group? This is still a big question.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this matter was reported by one of my guards."

"Someone is spending money to bribe the imperial guards in the palace. Their purpose is self-evident. Naturally, they want to target His Majesty."

"And this group of people said it without hiding their identities. They are the Ninth Prince's subordinates. In the future, after the Ninth Prince ascends the throne, those who have helped him will be heavily rewarded, including promotions and titles. ."

Luo Yong said everything he knew and heard in one breath, but Ning Fan became more and more confused as he listened. In the end, his brows twisted into a knot.

"There's something wrong with this. According to normal logic, if a person wants to rebel, he must hide it as deeply as possible. How could he take the initiative to raise the banner of the Ninth Prince? There must be fraud in it."

Ning Fan had a sneer on his face. He felt that the mastermind behind the scenes was hiding very deep. Their purpose was to create a mess, muddy the waters, and then take advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the chaos.

After understanding the other party's intentions, Ning Fan calmed down. He was not an impetuous person. On the contrary, Ning Fan liked to think a lot of the time.

He likes to peel off the cocoons bit by bit and slowly solve the whole puzzle. When all the questions have answers, the sense of accomplishment in his heart is almost overwhelming.

After Luo Yong left, Ning Fan immediately asked Li Chunan to summon Yue Ying into the palace.

Yue Ying is the head of Ning Fan's largest spy agency and controls countless pieces of information, and Ning Fan is convinced that Yue Ying has far more control over the progress than Jin Yiwei. Just because Jin Rui didn't know many things didn't mean he could hide it from Yue Ying.

Recently, Yueying was very rare and did not bring any information to Ning Fan. After all, there was such a big commotion in Kyoto, and it was impossible for Yueying not to know about it.

"Does Your Majesty really want to know whether His Highness the Ninth Prince is really going to rebel?"

Yueying knew Ning Fan's intentions as soon as she saw him. It must be about this matter when she summoned him over in such a hurry.

"Just tell me some of the secrets behind this."

Ning Fan tried his best to stay calm, but there was a bit of expectation in his eyes. He knew that what Yueying said with his ability must be the truth.

"To tell you the truth, your good brother Ninth Prince Ning Yan is really going to rebel."

"Do you feel that there have been a lot of smoke bombs outside recently? Do you feel that your brother was wronged? But let me tell you that this smoke bomb was deliberately released by your good brother. The purpose is to confuse you. This is a plan. If you fall into a trap, you must be careful."

Yueying told the answer to the puzzle in one breath. Ning Fan frowned and had a wry smile on his face. He didn't expect his opponent to be so cunning and pull off such a trick.

This strategy has many links within it. If you hit one link, it will be difficult to avoid the other link. Even a smart person like Ning Fan was almost fooled.

"I asked you to check these guards and eunuchs before. Have you checked clearly? Whose identities are suspicious? Who are trustworthy?"

Ning Fan asked Yueying like a barrage of questions.

But Yueying didn't say anything, just stared at Ning indifferently. When he knew that Ning Fan was about to become impatient, Yueying said: "I didn't find anyone suspicious, but it is true that someone planted a spy in the palace recently. You’d better not eat the food from Yushanfang recently.”

Now that it has been confirmed that the rebel team is the one led by the Ninth Prince, Ning Fan naturally will not wait any longer. That night, Ning Fan urgently summoned Fang Zhengming and asked him to take the Jin Yiwei to capture people overnight and try to reduce the noise. , don’t cause panic.

Ning Fan gave an order, and Fang Zhengming and his royal guards rushed towards the homes of various ministers like tigers.

These targets that he had already targeted have become nothing more than meat on the chopping board, with no ability to resist at all.

Ning Fan received the notice at dawn. After taking a closer look, Ning Fan was so shocked that his mouth almost opened. In just half of the night, Fang Zhengming actually arrested thousands of people.

When Ning Fan received the long list in the morning, he was stunned. The list was densely written on the paper. If you look carefully, there are at least thousands of people.

Arresting people on such a large scale was unprecedented and unheard of, and even Ning Fan felt melancholy.

"Why are you arresting so many people?"

Ning Fan was also completely confused. He did not expect that Fang Zhengming would act so randomly.

"The duty of eradicating evil is over. The people around these people are very suspicious. Catch them all and screen them one by one. If there are any who are really unjustly accused, let them go."

Fang Zhengming said disapprovingly.

After listening to Fang Zhengming's words, Ning Fan fell silent. It had to be said that Fang Zhengming was very clever and very cruel.

Ning Fan comes from modern times, and the thinking in his heart still carries the modern spirit of rule of law. People cannot be arrested without evidence. This is Ning Fan's understanding of the law.

You can't arrest people without evidence. This was Ning Fan's simplest idea. However, Fang Zhengming directly overturned this idea in Ning Fan's mind. He could arrest people everywhere without any evidence.

"How long will it take to screen all these people one by one?"

Ning Fan frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, there are too many people. It will take at least a month to completely investigate."

Fang Zhengming answered matter-of-factly, and then asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask for permission, is it possible to ransack the homes of these people?"

If all the houses of more than a hundred officials, big and small, were confiscated, they would gain a huge amount of wealth. If their homes were not confiscated in time, these people would definitely transfer their wealth secretly. Ning Fan knew what Fang Zhengming was worried about, but he also had concerns.

If people are arrested and their homes are ransacked, it can easily give people the impression that they are amassing money.

"Immediately all the wealth gained by Super Plus will be poured into the underwear, and all the detailed accounts will be compiled and published."

Ning Fan made a decision immediately and no longer hesitated.

Governing the world sometimes requires gentleness, but many times it requires thunder and thunder.

"I will go and ransack the homes of these black sheep without mercy."

After Fang Zhengming received Ning Fan's approval, he was immediately overjoyed and left in a hurry. While Fang Zhengming left, Cheng Wei, the chief minister of the cabinet, asked for an audience outside the palace.
