For several days, Zeng Yi did not show up. The Marquis became more and more panicked. He wanted to go out several times, but was stopped by Shaotian. That day, Zeng Yi went to the Marquis Mansion again.
Before they arrived, they heard a quarrel coming from the defense line of the Hou Mansion.
"I am a descendant of the royal family, a Marquis of the Empire! What qualifications do you have to stop me?"
"Master Marquis, we are acting under orders. No one is allowed to leave the Marquis' Mansion until a clear investigation has been carried out!"
"Hmph! If you have evidence, you can take me down now. If you can't find any evidence, I have to go out! If you continue to obstruct me, I will definitely report to the court and take part in your book. It is a crime of contempt for the royal family!"
Zeng Yi smiled and stepped forward quickly, "Why would the Marquis have such a big temper and embarrass them? They are just following orders."
Seeing Zeng Yi coming, everyone in front of the Hou Mansion looked at Zeng Yi. The old guy snorted coldly: "What do you mean? What crime and punishment am I guilty of? Come up with evidence, otherwise you have no right to stop me."
action!"
"Haha, Lord Marquis, the incident of collective poisoning of the people has spread all over the world. The imperial court attaches great importance to it. The old prince who oversees the country personally ordered an investigation into the matter. No matter who it is, who dares to treat the lives of the people as a child's play, they will not be spared." Zeng Yi did not.
A little angry, he continued to speak calmly.
"I have already said that this is none of my business. Someone is framing me! Instead of arresting the criminals who framed the royal family, you are restricting my freedom! What do you want to do?"
"Haha, after several days of investigation, there are no clues that anyone else was involved in this matter."
"That's because you don't have the ability!"
Zeng Yi's expression changed: "Now that the matter has come to this, do you still want to quibble with the Marquis? There are so many guards around the Marquis, and several of them are first-class masters, and there are even first-class peak masters sitting in charge. How can you hide it from so many masters and frame you?"
, there are only super-class masters, but if a super-class master wants to deal with you, do you think it is necessary to frame you?"
As soon as Zeng Yi said these words, the face of the Marquis who was so imposing just now changed instantly. "Then, I don't know."
"Humph, then please invite the Marquis to return to the mansion." After saying that, Zeng Yi said to Shaantian and others: "Remember, we are here to investigate on the order of the imperial court. No one or any identity will be investigated until the investigation is clear.
, are not allowed to leave here!" The old guy, with a livid face, threw off his sleeves, turned around and returned to the mansion.
Watching the old guy leave, Zeng Yi smiled slightly: "This guy is scared, we have to be ready to take action."
In fact, although Zeng Yi has not been to the Hou Mansion these days, he has not been idle either. Instead, he has dealt with the old guy's influence. You must know that the old guy has a lot of influence in the south and has good relations with many officials. There are even some people.
They were promoted by that old guy. Before dealing with the old guys, Zeng Yi had to eradicate them first.
In order to eradicate these people, Zeng Yi has not stopped for a moment in the past few days. Among them, the old guy is the most powerful official. He is the commander-in-chief of a province, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands. For this reason, Zeng Yi obtained the old man from the capital.
After the prince agreed, Zeng Yi also went to Dali.
Heading to Dali was also a helpless move. The provincial generals in the south had limited manpower, and because of the influence of the old man, Zeng Yi did not trust them very much, fearing that the news would be leaked. The only one in the south who could mobilize troops and provide experts was
That is, the Duan family of Dali.
With the favorability of Zeng Yi and Duan Yu, there is no problem in mobilizing troops and horses, and it is even less problematic with the permission of the old prince of the imperial court.
After not seeing each other for many days, Duan Yu was very happy to see Zeng Yi and wanted to take Zeng Yi for a drink. However, time was tight, so Zeng Yi could only decline Duan Yu. After that, he brought tens of thousands of Dali's elite troops and Dali Tianlong
Several masters from the temple went straight to the place where the general soldiers were stationed.
That night, Dali's soldiers and horses surrounded the general camp. Naturally, the general soldiers would not be captured without mercy, but those soldiers and horses under his command really did not have the fighting spirit to fight against Dali's elite division.
The commander-in-chief still wanted to run away. Under the protection of hundreds of soldiers, he wanted to break out. Unfortunately, Zeng Yi had already guarded against him. He immediately led the masters from Tianlong Temple and thousands of cavalry to chase him.
Go up.
In a big battle, all those soldiers were wiped out by Zeng Yi and others, leaving only a few stronger guards to protect the commander-in-chief.
"Hey, I once advised the Marquis not to participate in the court's fight for the right to inherit the throne, but I didn't expect that it would come to this point in the end."
"Haha, you are quite foresighted. That seat is not that easy to sit in!"
After solving the most powerful one, most of the remaining officials from various places are civil servants, and all of them have dirty hands. Corruption and bribery are all basic operations. Mobilizing the resources of the pro-military Duwei Mansion, in the imperial court
With the cooperation of the officials, they arrested all those officials with various crimes and punishments for several days.
So many officials were all arrested within a few days, which made officials from all over the south panic, almost to the point that Marquis Tan changed his mind. The pro-military Duweifu's thunderous methods greatly frightened those officials in the south, and all the Marquis' hardcore
After being captured, the remaining officials who were initially hesitant suddenly firmed up their attitude and all drew a clear line with that person.
Seeing that the plan had worked, Zeng Yi said goodbye to Dali's soldiers and horses. After Dali's soldiers and horses left, Zeng Yi returned to the small town. As soon as he returned to the small town, the magistrate of the small town greeted them. Only then did Zeng Yi discover that
Missed this guy.
This guy is quite smart. He probably knows about the turmoil in the southern officialdom these days. He guesses that the imperial court is really going to take action against that old guy. He shows respect to Zeng Yina and immediately draws a clear line with him and talks to him.
He said a lot of bad things about the old guy, and said that he was forced to do so, and hoped that the court would be lenient to him.
Zeng Yi originally wanted to take over the magistrate directly, but when he thought about it, this guy was considered a close confidant of the old guy. He might know some of the old guy's secrets, so he smiled and said, "I'll give you a chance to tell the truth about the old man."
punishment!"
"Yes, yes! My lord, you don't know something. Then... the old guy, in fact, he only pretends to be kind to others, but secretly he is actually a vicious guy..." Unexpectedly, this
The magistrate really revealed a lot of dirty information about the old guy. It was also because of this magistrate that Zeng Yi learned that the old guy actually had a back-up, and he also had a group of dead soldiers who had been secretly trained for many years. These people
You are so powerful that you only recognize your hometown as the escape route the old guy left for yourself to prevent accidents. But no one knows where these people are.
