"What Taifu said is that since Zhao Kang the dog thief has decided to stand on the opposite side of us, you want to become our enemy."
Lin Yu's expression was stern: "Then we don't have to show any favor to him anymore. So what if His Majesty favors him now?"
"We are all ministers in the court. If we unite together, are we still afraid of Zhao Gou alone? In the worst case, the Qing emperor will assassinate the rebellious ministers!"
After hearing this, everyone's breathing became visibly faster, and they all showed sinister expressions.
This is the most terrifying place for wealthy families. Once they unite, they can even threaten the imperial power!
Send others away.
After Lin Yu made sure there was no one outside, he closed the door and looked at Zhao Jinsheng: "Master, do you think we should say hello to that person?"
Zhao Jinsheng snorted: "His eyes are spread all over the imperial capital. Do you think he doesn't know what Zhao Kang is doing these days?"
At this moment, Lin Yu no longer had the vicious energy to kill Zhao Kang, but was a little worried.
"He appreciates Zhao Kang very much, but now Zhao Kang insists on going against the grain and digging up our roots. What if he stops us from attacking Zhao Kang?"
Zhao Jinsheng chuckled and lowered his voice, "Lin Yu, do you think he could have succeeded without our help?"
Lin Yu understood instantly, and the worried look on his face disappeared.
Zhao Jinsheng said: "This has been the case since ancient times. Although the imperial power is supreme, it is only because of our support that he is supreme! The country will last for hundreds of years and the family will last for thousands of years. These words are not just words."
"It's ridiculous that Zhao Kang claims to be able to see the general trend of the world, but he doesn't even understand such a simple truth."
Lin Yu nodded, "Well, Master, do you think we should inform him?"
"It's necessary. You might as well try his attitude."
Lin Yu knew it in his heart.
It's midnight at midnight.
Mr. Qingtong returned to Prince Ning's mansion from other places and found that Xiao Feiyu was still awake, so he came to the study to say hello.
"Mr. Qingtong is back, how is everything going?"
Xiao Feiyu chuckled, and Mr. Qingtong nodded: "I will report back to Your Highness, everything has been arranged."
"However, Your Highness, I still feel that this action may undermine my own wings. These people have helped us a lot over the years, both overtly and covertly."
Xiao Feiyu raised his head with a warm smile on his face: "They came to see me once before my husband came back just now. Do you want to know what they said?"
Mr. Qingtong cheered up and said, "I am all ears."
Xiao Feiyu smiled: "They plan to kill Zhao Kang, and I want to ask what my attitude is."
Mr. Qingtong was shocked: "They want to kill Zhao Kang? They are crazy! Now that His Majesty trusts Zhao Kang so much, if they take action, Your Majesty will definitely not let it go!"
"Yes, that's what I told them too."
Xiao Feiyu clicked his tongue: "However, they asked me in return, which one is more important, Zhao Kang alone, or all the noble families in the Qian Kingdom?"
"this!"
Mr. Qingtong was speechless for a moment. The answer seemed obvious. He thought that if he had to make a choice, he would definitely choose the latter.
Because these clans and clans are involved in too many things, no matter how amazing Zhao Kang is, his talent and beauty cannot be equaled by just four words.
The overall situation is important.
Mr. Qingtong asked: "Then how did His Highness answer?"
Xiao Feiyu repeatedly folded a piece of rice paper in his hand and said casually: "After they left, I wrote the answer on it."
"If they want to fight Zhao Kang, let them fight. I also want to see who wins in the end."
Xiao Feiyu stood up and left his seat, walked to the door of the study, and suddenly asked with a smile: "Mr. Qingtong, do you think anyone will ask me this question again in the future? Are you more important, sir, or are they?"
Mr. Qingtong suddenly broke out in cold sweat. Just when he was about to speak, Xiao Feiyu had already left.
He stood there, struggled for a long time, and finally walked forward and picked up the rice paper Xiao Feiyu put on the table.
The other party said before that the answer was left above.
The old man opened the rice paper, his eyelids twitched, and a huge boulder that had been hanging since just now seemed to fall to the ground in his heart.
Maybe he doesn't need to open this answer at all, Mr. Qingtong thought.
After all, he just came back from Youzhou.
There is only the word Zhao Kang on the white paper!
There is a nine-story tower in Prince Ning's Mansion. Xiao Feiyu did not go to bed after leaving the study, but climbed to the top of the tower step by step, stood at the window and looked down.
In an instant, it seemed as if the entire imperial capital was being trampled under his feet. The gentle smile on his face was no longer replaced by a strong anger.
A group of domestic slaves! How dare they threaten me!
Then let you clearly understand who is the master!
…
Cake Xixi Shop.
Ordinary people queued up as usual to draw today's lucky red envelopes.
At this moment, a pair of men and horses suddenly appeared. The leader was wearing a fourth-grade official robe and strode over with his subordinates.
"You give in, give in! Stop queuing! Routine inspection!"
Liu Quan was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and stepped forward quickly: "Master, what are you doing?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's a routine inspection by the Metropolitan Procuratorate! Anyone who dares to stop us will be taken away!" the leader sneered.
Hearing this, Liu Quan was so frightened that he quickly retreated. The Five Cities Military and Horse Division was in charge of public security and health inside and outside the imperial capital.
The status of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is far higher than that of the Military and Horse Department, and its power is to supervise all officials in the court!
It even has the power to send troops to various state capitals for inspections. It is the first-class real power department in the country!
This kind of yamen was not something he, Liu Quan, could afford to offend, and he lost the courage to even go up and speak.
"Who is the person in charge of the shop?"
Ducha Yushi asked knowingly.
Liu Quan hesitated and was speechless.
"If you can't tell me, take it away. The shop is closed today until we complete the inspection!"
Without giving him any chance to refute, the censor directly led his people to seal up the shop, and all the people who were still lining up were driven away.
Many melon-eaters were very curious after seeing it.
Could this cake Xixi shop have committed something?
Otherwise, why would the officers and soldiers be angered?
Zhang Ji clothing store.
Shopkeeper Zhang looked at the sudden arrival of the uninvited guests in the store, and stepped forward with fear in his heart.
"My lord, may I ask why you are here?"
An official sneered and said: "Zhang Danian, we are from the Cleaning Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs. According to the investigation, Shenhuang has failed to pay two taxes in the past three years. Now we will take you back for interrogation!"
Zhang Danian was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he quickly defended: "No, sir, in the third year of Shenhuang, didn't His Majesty announce that the world's taxes will be halved!"
The official of the Qing Dynasty Department laughed and said: "We don't know this. The order we received is to take you back! Come on, I'll detain you!"
Zhang Danian was arrested like this, along with Fatty Wang who sold soy sauce. In just one day, all the merchants who settled in Cake Xixi were taken away by people from the Ministry of Household Clearance Department!
The family's suppression against Zhao Kang has begun!
