Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

After Pei Linzhi retreated with the soldiers, the Yang family dared to come out of the house and found that the yard in the garden was on fire. They were very surprised. Why did these people set fire to their house?

The servant who was in charge of delivering food to the small courtyard knew that there was someone living there, so he quietly went over to take a look, but he didn't dare to get closer. His intuition told him that someone should be dead inside, but he didn't dare to say, he had to wait for the owner to come back.

The Yang family soon discovered that they were under control, and a group of soldiers blocked the gate of the courtyard, not allowing anyone to enter or leave.What happened?But the master of the family was not there, so they had to wait anxiously while guessing.

There were a lot of affairs in the morning court today, Xiao Yu randomly checked the official affairs of each ministry one by one, and the court usually started at Chenshi on weekdays, but today at Sishi, there was still no sign of ending.

Yang Peng and Yang Tao were sitting on their knees in the hall, their clothes were soaked and dry, and the mat they were kneeling on was also wet. They felt like sitting on pins and needles, and their days seemed like years. This is their current state.

Xiao Yu listened to the official report slowly, while waiting for Pei Linzhi to come back.

When Pei Linzhi went out in the early morning, he had already told him to go to arrest the murderer and not go down until he came back.

Xiao Yu was finally relieved when he learned that the dust would finally settle. Such a tense day was really tormenting. He didn't want to be so tense all the time, it was not good for his physical and mental health, and it was also tiring.

In the middle of the day, almost everyone in the hall went to have a toilet, only uncle and nephew Yang didn't go, probably because he sweated too much, the water in his body was almost drained, and he didn't feel like urinating.

Xiao Yu frowned, and looked towards the palace gate frequently, did things go wrong?Or did something unexpected happen?

Finally, hearing the sound of uniform footsteps from outside, Xiao Yu quickly raised his head, and from a distance, he saw Pei Linzhi striding over, followed by a large group of heavily armed Jinwu guards.

Pei Linzhi strode into the hall and knelt down on one knee: "I see Your Majesty!"

Xiao Yu looked at him and said, "Ai Qing is alive. Why did you come so late today?"

Pei Linzhi stood up and said, "Today, I finally found out the murderer who assassinated His Majesty on Dragon Boat Festival."

Xiao Yu's expression brightened: "Sure enough, who wants to assassinate me? Where is the murderer?"

Pei Linzhi turned sideways, and looked down coldly at all the ministers in the hall: "The murderer is in this hall!"

As soon as he said this, many people in the hall trembled, and Yang Peng was so frightened that he almost lost control.

"What?!" Xiao Yu pretended to be surprised.

Min Chong asked: "General Pei, are you serious?"

Pei Linzhi said: "Master Yang, tell me why you assassinated His Majesty that day."

Yang Peng held his urine all morning and finally couldn't control it.

Although Yang Tao is young, he works in the Ministry of Punishment. He has seen various scenes of torture to extract confessions, and his psychological endurance is stronger than that of his uncle. Hearing this, he quickly climbed out from behind his seat and prostrated himself on the ground: "Your Majesty, my minister is Wronged, I don't know anything!"

Xiao Yu said indifferently: "I have given full power to the general to handle this matter. Since he said so, he will not wrong Mr. Yang, so let the general handle the case."

Pei Linzhi said: "Your Majesty obeys the order! Come here, take the two Lord Yangs down and send them to the prison of Dali Temple. Without the permission of His Majesty and me, no one is allowed to visit."

Soon, four Jinwu guards came in from the door, and they took Yang Peng and Yang Tao's nephew away in groups of two.Yang Peng was already limp on the ground. When he was dragged away, there was an obvious water stain on the ground. In an instant, the whole hall was filled with an unpleasant smell.

Xiao Yu frowned in disgust, and looked at Pei Linzhi: "General, Master Yang is the murderer?"

Pei Linzhi looked around the hall again, and said: "According to my investigation, Lord Yang is the mastermind. In addition, there are several adults in this hall who are their accomplices. Lord Li, Lord Cui, and Lord Cheng are all involved in this case."

Naturally Yang Peng and Yang Tao were not the masterminds, but Xiao Ye lived in his house, and now that Xiao Ye is dead, it is logical that they replaced Xiao Ye as the masterminds, and even if they jumped into the Yellow River, they would not be cleared.

As soon as Pei Linzhi said this, several ministers in the hall were like sifting chaff: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"

Pei Linzhi said: "You are all officials appointed by the imperial court, and your Majesty's highly valued pillars of talent. If I have no evidence, how dare I slander the reputation of your lords? Rebellion is a serious crime for the whole family! Come here, invite these three lords out , sent to Dali Temple to be imprisoned!"

Another Jinwu Guard came in to take people away.

"Your Majesty, forgive me! Your Majesty, forgive me!" Seeing that the situation was over, these people hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.

Xiao Yu didn't speak, just looked at them coldly, is it really a bunch of white-eyed wolves who are not familiar with it?

Pei Linzhi said: "Your Majesty, there may be some involvement in this matter. Please issue an imperial decree. Until the truth is thoroughly found out, all clans in the city are not allowed to leave the city without permission. Anyone who violates the order will be punished as treason."

Xiao Yu asked: "You mean, the big families in the city are also involved in this matter?"

Pei Linzhi said: "According to my investigation, most of the people who participated in the treason this time were aristocratic families. Of course, it does not mean that all aristocratic families participated."

As their monarchs and ministers sang together, all the people in the palace who came from aristocratic families suddenly felt like they were on their backs.

Xiao Yu sighed: "Since that's the case, it's up to you. You must investigate this matter thoroughly, and you will never tolerate a criminal. Of course, you must not wrong an innocent person."

Pei Linzhi clasped his fists and saluted: "I would like to obey His Majesty's will!"

Xiao Yu stood up and waved his hands weakly: "Forget it, I'm tired today, let's all retire."

So the ministers in the hall got up one after another and dispersed like birds and beasts.

This incident can be said to have shocked the government and the public, especially for the aristocratic families in Jianye City, it was like a thunderbolt.

When Xiao Ye came back, he quietly found a big clan, and then used this big clan to pull over all the big clans he thought he could win over. He promised that if he could regain the throne, he would give back all the original private property of the big clans, and he would increase his rank and become a noble. All the glory and wealth.

Of course, not everyone accepted this temptation, and it wasn't that they were completely unmoved, but they were more sober and believed that the risk of regicide was too great and the chance of success was too small, so they did not participate in the assassination case.

However, hearing what Pei Linzhi and Xiao Yu said today, it can be seen that the conspiracy of that day has been completely exposed.This made those aristocratic families completely confused, and those who had participated suddenly felt that their lives were hanging by a thread, and they all began to find a way out for themselves, whether to simply turn themselves in and receive punishment, or to abandon everything and try to escape from the city, just to survive go down?

Those big clans who knew about the incident but did not participate in the incident were also having a hard time. Although they did not participate in the conspiracy, they were also those who knew about it and did not report it. If they were to be investigated, they would not escape responsibility.Will Xiao Yu let them go?

As soon as this incident happened, the entire Jianye City was panicked, and not many of those aristocratic families could sleep soundly.

Facing this situation, Xiao Yu's heart was not only cold, but also cold.

According to the information provided by Pei Linzhi, at least half of the aristocratic families in Jianye City knew about the assassination. Even if they didn't participate in the treason case, they were still not aware of it. Therefore, no one can escape when asked about the crime. .

He really didn't expect that among so many insiders, none of them revealed the news to him, and he was so disliked by the aristocratic family!

These people were probably thinking that if Xiao Ye could really bring him down, then they could also eat meat and drink soup.Therefore, even if they were not involved in the assassination, they would just sit on the sidelines and wait to watch the show.

Pei Linzhi comforted him: "Your Majesty doesn't have to be so uncomfortable. They are people who have different ways and do not conspire with each other. I just took this opportunity to suppress them."

Min Chong said: "General Pei is right. I have long been displeased with those great families. I always wanted to find a way to punish them, but I couldn't find an opportunity. Isn't this time just right?"

Min Chong belongs to the new rich, and he has never dealt with those aristocratic families. Even if he is in a high position, those aristocratic families will turn their nostrils up when they see him.

Pei Linzhi said: "Now that Xiao Ye has been completely punished, and the great family has offered to send us to clean up, Your Majesty must not be merciful."

"Yeah." But this also strengthened his determination to attack the aristocratic family. This time, he will never be soft-hearted. He will kill when he should be killed, and punish him when he should be punished. If the tiger doesn't show his power, he will treat himself as a sick cat.
