King Yong was pressed tightly on the cushion by his subordinates and could not move, but his body was trembling slightly because of anger.

It was the first time in his life that he suffered such a great humiliation. He has never been treated so rudely since he was a child. No matter how the court changes, the treatment of the royal family will never be less than him.

However, today, due to the sudden death of a refugee, he was thrown into the royal palace for no reason and was also rushed into the royal palace and searched through boxes and cabinets. How could King Yong, who has always been domineering, suffer such grievances?

He pulled out his knife and planned to fight with the officers, but he was pressed into the main hall by his subordinates, and a manager in front of him kept kowtowing to him.

"Your Highness, don't be impulsive, let's bear this tone." The eunuch begged.

King Yong's face was distorted with anger, his teeth were chewed, and he said with a stern voice: "Even if I am demoted to a commoner today, I will not be humiliated. When will it start? My relatives in the Tang Dynasty have become so depressed. In the dignified royal palace, these lowly officials will enter as soon as they want, how can I tolerate it!"

The eunuch begged: "The three law officials are not targeting the prince, but manager Liu. Please bear it. I will report to the emperor later and ask the emperor to make the decision for the prince."

King Yong said angrily: "Where is the imperial guards of the royal palace? All the wastes were raised in vain? Just as the officers rushed in, they did nothing?"

The eunuch shrank for a moment and said, "There are... Anxi Army outside the gate of the royal palace."

King Yong was shocked and said, "Anxi Army... What exactly did Gu Qing want to do? He wants land, but I have returned half of the land. Isn't it enough? Why kill me all the time..."

The eunuch lowered his head and sighed, "I'm afraid it's not enough."

"I'm too tyrants. There are so many powerful people in the world occupying land. Why are they targeting me alone? Can I be bullied?"

"Your Highness, I thought about it and thought that the refugee murder case was probably also fabricated by Gu Qing. On the surface it was a murder case, but in fact it was to get rid of Your Highness..."

When King Yong was stunned, he didn't have time to think. There was a burst of noise outside the hall, accompanied by the crying of the palace maids of the royal palace and the sound of bottles and jars breaking in the courtyard.

King Yong hurriedly walked out of the hall and saw that the officers of the Three Laws were rudely searching the palace. Every corner was rumored by the officers, and even the soil in the garden in the courtyard was dug up, searching for so-called evidence.

King Yong's body trembled with anger, and he shouted with a blue face: "Where is the imperial guard?"

The imperial guards of the palace were all there. They stood quietly in the yard, watching the officers searching the house with a frustrated look on their faces. When they heard the roar of King Yong, the imperial guards were about to stand up, but suddenly they felt a chill on their backs and turned their heads to look at the palace. They had walked into the palace at some point. They were wearing armor and holding swords, staring at the imperial guards with cold eyes. The generals led by the leader pressed their right hand on the hilt, as if as long as they dared to move, the generals would order the killing without hesitation.

The imperial guards of the palace did not dare to move, and King Yong's voice was hoarse, but the imperial guards still did not dare to move, as if they had become wooden sculptures and clay sculptures, turning a deaf ear to King Yong's roar.

King Yong also saw the Anxi soldiers in the yard, and felt a chill in his heart, knowing that this great humiliation today was inevitable.

No matter how domineering a person is, he will suddenly become weak when facing a sword. The more domineering a sword, the faster it will be. Such people bully the weak and fear the strong, and cherish their lives more than ordinary people.

So King Yong gave up the confrontation, stared at the officers and soldiers of the Anxi Army in the yard with resentful eyes, and gritted his teeth and said, "Come, prepare the carriage and horse. I want to enter the palace to meet the holy!"

One hour after King Yong left the palace, the servants of the Three Laws found some very important things from the palace.

First, I found a pair of shoes covered with mud from Manager Liu's house. The patterns on the soles coincided with the shoe prints on the deceased's face.

The second is a dagger thrown under the bed. The blood stains on the dagger were dried up. There has been no technology to verify the blood type these days, but a dagger with dried blood stains is already considered ironclad.

The servants also found a stack of deeds. Most of the deeds were deeds for farmers in prefectures, Henan and other prefectures, counties, and villages, and also deeds for voluntarily resigning from their births and selling their bodies as slaves. Each deed is a tragedy of the fate of a farmer.

The officers were stunned. Although the search of the royal palace today was a setting and a lot of the so-called evidence was also artificially created, this covenant book was actually something from the royal palace. It seemed that in the eyes of King Yong, the covenant book was not shameful, so it was safe to exist in the royal palace account room and was finally dug out by the officers.

…………

At sunset, a bad commander from the Ministry of Justice stood respectfully under the corridor outside the main hall of Gu Qing's mansion, waiting for the summons of Prince Gu.

After a long time, a servant invited the bad commander into the hall.

After the bad coach saluted Gu Qing, he did not dare to say much nonsense. He originally told the story of searching the Yong Palace today, and took out the stack of searched covenants from his arms.

Gu Qing took the contract and looked at each one carefully. The more he looked, the more gloomy his face became.

"I'm really killing you all, leaving no way out for others, and I'm not afraid of retribution." Gu Qing sneered.

Many names in the contract are repeated with the contract for selling the contract. In other words, those farmers who have been occupied by land for no reason are forced to make a living, and after selling the land at a low price, they have to sell themselves as slaves again. The farmers who originally paid taxes to the court became serfs under the name of the Yongwang Mansion.

Some people sell their bodies and even sign the whole household, which means that the whole family of the farmers has reduced their registration and sold them to the Yongwang Mansion.

Holding back his anger, Gu Qing put away the stack of the covenant book, and said lightly to the bad coach: "You go back, I have accepted the covenant book. What should I do next? I will send someone to tell Li Shangshu that this case is no longer as simple as a refugee murder case. Keep your mouth on it."

The bad handsome man took his leave respectfully.

Gu Qing glanced at Feng Yu who was sitting beside him and silently handed him the contract.

After reading a few pages, Feng Yu handed back to Gu Qing without any change in his face.

"Brother Gu's lifelong ambition is the first place to be the land. Since someone has brought the handle of the knife to the door today, it's better to just take the King Yong first."

Gu Qing nodded and said, "The extravagant life of the powerful has been too long, and the people in the world are too hard, so it should be changed."

Feng Yu said: "We sacrificed our lives and experienced life and death several times. If the only thing that comes in the end is the song and dance of the powerful, our efforts are too worthwhile and the world is too unfair. Brother Gu, I think this case can be bigger. Start with the case of the murder of a refugee, slowly fermenting in the court, and finally involve the refugee murder case on King Yong, and even a few more murder cases..."

Gu Qing looked at him with a smile and said, "What's the matter?"

Feng Yu smiled slightly, knowing that Gu Qing had a delicate intention, so he said generously: "All things are shaken out, and then create momentum between the court and the country. When the momentum is very high, the emperor cannot protect King Yong. At least he will demote him to a commoner. Finally, we will mention the matter of taking back the land..."

Gu Qing shook his head: "Murder cases are murder cases, and the matter of land cannot be mentioned."

Feng Yu was stunned: "Why?"

Gu Qing sighed: "Do you know how many powerful and landlords in the Tang Dynasty are? Do you know that the lifeblood of these people is land. When we take the King Yong, a discerning person can see that we are targeting the land under the King Yong's name, but this matter can only be tacitly understood and cannot be made public. Once the land matter is taken to the table, it will be equivalent to breaking up with the landlords all over the world, including the aristocratic family that currently supports us temporarily."

Feng Yu said deflatedly: "Can you say that the matter of land can never be said openly?"

"Yes, but not now. When the country is settled and the general situation is ready, and there is no enemy in the world that can stop me, the matter of land can be brought to the table and talked about it."

Feng Yu's eyes were full of expectations: "When will this day come?"

Gu Qing said leisurely: "Maybe it is very close, the results can be seen in just a few months, and it may be very far away, and it cannot be perfectly solved in one's life. We are people walking on the tip of the knife, and the motivation to support our walking is only the ambitions set back then. Sometimes when there is no hope in desperate situations, we can't help but even the ambitions become illusory. I really want to give up..."

Feng Yu said firmly: "Brother Gu, there are countless people who support you behind you, and those who are willing to sacrifice your life for you. You are not alone, so your ambition must not be shaken."

Gu Qing raised his spirits and smiled and said, "Yes, ambitions must not be shaken, otherwise everything we have paid will be meaningless."

After a pause, Gu Qing said, "Tomorrow you go to Aunt Li's mansion. Aunt Li's men have a mysterious intelligence collection network. She is quite satisfied with you. She once said that she would pass it to you, which is Li Jianjiu's dowry. You will take over the intelligence network tomorrow. The first thing you do after taking over is to send someone to Henan, Guanzhong and find out how many days of angry and resentful things the farm under King Yong's name has done."

Feng Yu nodded vigorously: "Okay."

…………

A false murder case gradually turned into a shocking case under Gu Qing's operation.

Manager Liu disappeared, and the deadly ironclad evidence was found in the palace. Yongwangbian was indisputable. After entering the palace to meet the emperor, he was scolded by the emperor and then drove out.

At the same time, the matter of finding ironclad evidence in the royal palace gradually spread, and there was a lot of curses in the government and the country.

The case was allowed to defend countless times that the case had nothing to do with the royal family and was a personal grudge of the royal family manager Liu. Unfortunately, the disappearance of the manager Liu was generally believed to be the case of the criminals Yong.

If your men commit a murder case, just say "private grudges" and explain it? How can there be such an irresponsible excuse to escape from crime in the world?

The censors of the Censorate could no longer sit still.

This murder case has nothing to do with the court camp. After all, there are many upright ministers in the censor. They only treat things, not people.

So countless memorials impeaching King Yong flew into Tai Chi Palace. It doesn’t matter if you can’t find the real murderer, but the same is true for finding the master behind the real murderer. If his subordinates make a mistake, will the master be unresponsible?

Within a few days, King Yong was covered in dust by the censors. In the end, he simply closed his door to thank the guests, without seeing anyone, and let the people in the court scold him endlessly, and he only thought that he had not heard it.

On the third night, King Yong finally couldn't stand it anymore and sent a Mubin out of the mansion late at night to come to Gu Qing's palace to meet Prince Gu.

Mu Bin did not come empty-handed, he was holding a thick stack of land deeds.

After all, King Yong is not stupid. Today, he has gradually realized the taste of the murder case. The so-called murder case is just a cover. Behind this case, there is clearly the shadow of Gu Qing and Anxi Army.

And why did Gu Qing target him for no reason? Of course, it was for the land.

After the last time he offered prisoners, King Yong thought he had returned half of the land under his name tactfully. For King Yong, this was already very generous. But Gu Qing obviously didn't think so. Only half of the land was far from enough, and all the food he had to be eaten must be vomited out.

So King Yong was inexplicably involved in a murder case. Thinking about the causes and consequences carefully, how could King Yong not understand?

Mubin was sent to the door late at night and respectfully sent the land deeds. All the land under the name of King Yong was returned except for the fief rewarded by the emperor.

Mu Bin entered the palace of Prince Gu, but did not see Gu Qing himself. A young man sitting on a chair met him.

When Mubin respectfully held the title deed document under the name of Prince Yong's Mansion, he was rejected by the young man with a smile.

What kind of person is Prince Gu? How could he covet your little land? Do you think he is trying to make the family property of King Yong? He underestimates people too much.

The young man smiled but refused firmly. No matter how hard Mubin begged, the young man still refused. Then he ordered the servants of the royal palace to invite Mubin out of the royal palace gate.

Mu Bin left in confusion, and he didn't understand until he walked out of the palace gate. What did Prince Gu want?

What does Prince Gu want?

Of course, what he wanted was not just land, but to change the land system of the Tang Dynasty.

King Yong is just a stepping stone.

The remarks and rumors between the government and the people were still slowly fermenting. One night a mysterious middle-aged man came to the palace. He came in from the back door of the palace. Feng Yu was waiting early. After the middle-aged man handed him a stack of documents, he turned around and left without saying a word.

Feng Yu immediately invited Gu Qing out. The two of them gathered under the dim candle and quietly flipped through every page, every line, every word crying blood.

The next day, before dawn, countless cars and horses had been parked in front of Tai Chi Palace.

Before the palace gate was opened, the court officials were waiting outside the palace gate. Facing the cold wind of early spring, some people were so cold that they couldn't help but stomp their feet and rub their hands, gathering in groups of three or five to discuss.

In the square of Chengtianmen, a gong suddenly sounded, and a team of guards were wearing armor and carrying halberds. Behind the guards was a purple-topped carriage. The carriage looked very low-key, with only two horses in the same gear.

The carriage stopped, and the guards lifted the curtains. The courtiers finally saw clearly that the person who got off the carriage was Gu Qing, the prince of Shuzhou.

The courtiers opened their eyes in shock.

Today is just an ordinary court meeting, but I didn’t expect that Prince Gu would attend the court meeting in person. This is really rare.

The wise court officials were nervous. They realized that things were unusual and that something might happen to the court today.

Prince Gu, who rarely attends court meetings, suddenly appeared outside the palace gate. Today's court will be lively.

After getting off the carriage, Gu Qing greeted the court officials very peacefully with a smile. He was obviously a powerful minister below one person and above ten thousand people, but his performance and manners did not show any arrogance. Instead, he was more casual and friendly than the court officials with lower ranks.

After the ministers were humble, Gu Qing reluctantly surrounded him and walked to the forefront of the court troupe, standing side by side with the veteran Guo Ziyi. Even the princes gave up their positions one after another and invited Gu Qing to the forefront of the court troupe.

Gu Qing and Guo Ziyi looked at each other and smiled. Before they could greet each other, the heavy palace gate opened with a creaking sound. A eunuch walked out of the palace gate. At first glance, he saw Gu Qing in the front of the court troupe. The eunuch couldn't help but be stunned. Then he quickly recovered as usual. He shouted loudly with a sharp voice: "Time has arrived, and all officials entered the Tai Chi Palace to attend the court."
