Fang Ci couldn't bear the severe punishment and had already confessed everything.
Xixia has a total of strongholds in Dayan, including three in the capital.
In addition to the Zhenbao Pavilion, there is also a Qinlou Chu Pavilion and a casino. They are nothing more than low-class places. They usually have a mixture of good and bad people, and they do shady business.
There are many such places in the capital, and the forces behind them are mixed. Tuoba Mingge's two strongholds are not eye-catching, so they have not aroused Dayan's suspicion in these years.
After Shen Yanqing got the news, he went into the palace again to discuss with Zhao Jing. When he came out, he had a token of the Royal Guards in his hand, and he dispatched all the emperor's personal guards.
As soon as he received the evidence of collusion between Prime Minister Liu and Xixia, he issued an order to capture all the strongholds in the capital, leaving none of Xixia's spies behind.
Overnight, the capital city changed.
In the early morning, Shangshu Shen actually involved Prime Minister Liu with a piece of paper!
As soon as the news spread, everyone in the capital was shocked.
The aristocratic family was shocked and worried. They never expected that Shen Yanqing would take action so quickly. Prime Minister Liu's faction had been dormant in the capital for many years. From the time of the previous emperor, he had the potential to overwhelm the imperial power. When the new emperor came to power, he even had the power to overwhelm the imperial power. momentum.
If Shen Yanqing hadn't been born out of nowhere to assist the emperor, no one could have predicted what Dayan would be like due to natural and man-made disasters in the past few years.
But now, ten years after the new emperor ascended the throne, the prime minister's faction is finally about to fall.
There was an uproar in the capital for a while, and all the aristocratic families clamped down on their behavior, for fear of getting into trouble with Shen Shangshu.
As for the people of the Prime Minister's faction, it was as if they were mourning for their heirs. They were all imprisoned by the imperial guards. If they were found to have any connection with Xixia, it would be a serious crime for them to be executed.
The people in the capital have no scruples. Recently, people on the street have been angrily cursing Prime Minister Liu when greeting him.
What the common people hate the most is traitors, not to mention the evidence that Shen Yan has investigated shows that he was behind the several wars between Xixia and Dayan and made a fortune from the war.
So many wives and children were separated, and families were destroyed, all because of his selfish interests. How could the people not hate him?
The Prime Minister's Mansion was splashed with feces and urine, and a pile of rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs were also thrown in.
The servants of the Liu Mansion, who used to be domineering in the capital, did not even dare to leave the house.
Prime Minister Liu and his family members were already imprisoned before they could react.
Zhao Jing had tolerated him for ten years, but once she got the evidence, she would never give him a chance to stand up.
Prime Minister Liu's face turned gray, and he seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.
Mrs. Liu, who was originally worried about finding her daughter, was suddenly thrown into prison, and she was completely confused.
"Sir, what is going on? Why does the emperor say that you are a traitor to the enemy? This must be a misunderstanding, right?"
She has been enjoying herself for many years, how can she bear this kind of suffering?
The prison was full of rats, snakes and insects. As soon as she entered, she felt itchy all over and wanted to get out.
Prime Minister Liu closed his eyes and said nothing. The jailer on the side sneered and tied his hands and feet with iron chains.
"There is still a misunderstanding. Shen Shangshu's evidence is conclusive and he has not slandered you at all."
"I don't know how ruthless you are to use so many Erlangs as your tools to fight for power. If you don't die, you will be sorry for the soldiers who died at the border!"
This jailer had a brother who died on the battlefield, and the culprit was right in front of him. He wanted to eat human flesh and blood, so that he could also taste the feeling of despair.
The jailer spit a thick mouthful of phlegm into his face, which flowed down his gray hair. Mrs. Liu covered her mouth and almost spit it out.
"vomit!"
She doesn't want to stay here, she doesn't want to!
Liu Wenxuan was imprisoned in the cell next door. He had just come out of the brothel. His eyes were still black and blue after indulgence. The smell of alcohol was still on his body. His clothes were carelessly open, revealing a few fingerprints on his chest.
The jailer responsible for guarding him sneered slightly, with contempt in his eyes.
Just like Liu Wenxuan, he used to be known as the most talented person in the capital, but I don't know how he got it.
He said that Shen Shangshu was the most talented person in the capital.
No, he is the most talented man in the world, and Princess Rongning is the goddess of Yan. They are a perfect match, and no one can separate them.
The news about Liu Mansion spread throughout the capital, and even the surrounding prefectures got the news.
Liu Ruyan was absent-minded during morning class and made mistakes several times. The ladies listening to the class below couldn't help but remind her.
"Mr. Yun, you have just read this."
"Yes, this is the fifth time..."
This new and beautiful Mr. Yun is very popular with the young ladies. Although her clothes are old clothes, she has an extraordinary air and she wears her own style.
Ladies all love beauty and have a natural affinity for beautiful things.
Although Liu Ruyan made mistakes several times, the ladies didn't really blame her. They were even worried that she was not feeling well.
Liu Ruyan came to her senses in a daze, and unknowingly, tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
The Liu family... is gone!
When she heard the news, she couldn't explain how she felt in her heart.
There is sadness, and there is happiness.
But, after all, this was the place where she grew up, and the prosperity and wealth she had enjoyed as the Prime Minister's daughter were really fleeting.
If Jiang Miao hadn't given her a hand and given her this teaching job, maybe she, Liu Ruyan, would be in prison now.
Prime Minister Liu colluded with the Xixia people. Once found guilty of this crime, he would be beheaded.
Liu Ruyan would not be stupid enough to want to save him, not to mention that her father had long regarded her as a tool for power and gain. She just felt sorry for her mother.
When she was in ruins, her mother was the only one who never gave up on her.
However, as time passed, Mrs. Liu gradually got tired of it.
Liu Ruyan didn't blame her, as a mother, she had done enough.
If there was still a chance, she would still like to be her daughter.
Liu Ruyan wiped away her tears and allowed herself to recover. She wanted to cheer up and earn more money, so that she might be able to help her mother in the future.
"Sir, it's okay. Now turn to page five and read this poem again."
The ends of her eyes were red, but there was a chuckle on her lips as she spoke to the ladies below.
"yes."
The sound of reading aloud rang out, and the surroundings were filled with the vitality of children, and Liu Ruyan's mood gradually calmed down.
In the capital, Zhao Jing dealt with a group of people, and the ministers in the court were replaced from top to bottom.
Originally, all the influence of Prime Minister Liu was taken away, and the royalists came to power, especially Shen Yanqing, who was directly promoted from the position of minister to the chief assistant, with one person under ten thousand people.
Jiang Miao looked at the emperor's edict with a dazed look in her eyes.
Shen Yanqing ascended to the position of chief minister at least ten years earlier than in the original book, so she naturally had her help here, and Gunpowder Bag was the biggest contributor.
As long as they do not seek power and usurp the throne, this position will not change.
She could foresee that the days to come would be filled with glory and wealth and a smooth journey.
