One hundred thousand Yinwuwei and the remaining Dongchang personnel came out in full force and almost wiped out all the officials below the third rank.
The mansion was raided and all his family members were thrown into jail to await their fate.
These people were either Xue Rong's gang members or people with ulterior motives, and Lin Xu didn't let any of them go.
As for the vacant positions, that's easy, just promote them directly from the next level up.
This approach will definitely treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. However, as long as Lin Xu is around, these people will definitely not dare to have other thoughts.
The whole Meridian Gate was filled with people, and the Yinwuwei swept away the entire imperial city with the force of thunder, so fast that almost everyone could not react in time.
All of this relies on the huge information network of Dongchang. In a few days, Dongchang had already infiltrated the entire imperial city, and he was even more skillful in dealing with them.
When Bai Ye went to Zhengweixuan to see You Jiuli, the killings in the imperial city had come to an end.
It was also from this moment that Lin Xu proved to the world that Qian Wu's imperial power had returned.
Anyone who rebels against his ministers and traitors will inevitably die.
…
The entrance of Haoyun Chamber of Commerce.
Bai Ye walked up to Wu Deshui and said calmly: "Wu Deshui of the Haoyun Chamber of Commerce wantonly drove up prices during the disaster, which caused the price of food in the imperial city to collapse and made the already poor people even worse."
"According to His Majesty's order, the entire Haoyun Chamber of Commerce and the residences of related persons will be searched. Everything will be confiscated and thrown into prison to await the Holy Judgment!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Deshui's eyes suddenly darkened, and he almost fainted. He said in horror: "Father, please spare my life, spare your life! It's the villain who has deceived the lard, and the villain will restore the price to its original state."
"Haha, if an apology is useful, why do we need criminal law?" Bai Ye sneered, "Do it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Wuwei rushed directly into Haoyun Chamber of Commerce and began to search.
Seeing this, Wu Deshui was so anxious that he shouted: "No, I don't accept it. How can you raid my entire chamber of commerce without evidence?"
"Evidence?" Bai Ye had no expression on his face and directly took out a piece of paper and said, "This is the evidence."
Wu Deshui took it and saw the font on it. His eyes suddenly turned red and his face was almost distorted: "Damn it, it's that bitch You Jiuli. She dared to frame me."
"Take him away." Bai Ye didn't talk nonsense to him and directly asked Yin Wuwei to take him away.
Wu Deshui still refused to give up and shouted quickly: "Master Liu, Master Ma, save me. As long as you save me, I am willing to give you 80% of the profits of Haoyun Chamber of Commerce. Save me."
Ma Ruheng and Liu Xinghuai looked at each other, both sweating profusely. They couldn't protect themselves, so they would save you. They were overthinking it.
80% profit seems good, but it needs to be spent. Although I don’t know how the emperor controlled the entire Silver Guards.
But there is no doubt that Yinwuwei is strong at the moment. It is best to avoid the edge for the time being and avoid a head-on conflict.
A similar scene also happened at Baisang Chamber of Commerce.
In one day, officials in the Imperial City were purged, and two of the three major chambers of commerce, the Haoyun Chamber of Commerce and the Baisang Chamber of Commerce, were raided for driving up prices.
For a time, those small merchants were so frightened that they quickly restored the prices of all goods. Some store prices were even lower than before the disaster, for fear that they would also follow in the footsteps of the two major chambers of commerce.
Xue Mansion.
Xue Jingruo listened to the servant's report.
Silence fell immediately.
After a long time, he said: "It seems that Xu'er has encountered something big, so big that he would not hesitate to use his body as bait to declare war on the rebellious officials and traitors in the world!"
"Empress, Your Majesty is saving those people. He has attracted the attention of those rebellious officials and traitors, and the people will be safe for the time being."
"In other words, as long as His Majesty is here, those unscrupulous traitors and traitors should also think about their heads."
Qiu Wu looked respectful.
"Although the Ai family doesn't know what happened, it is certain that this incident has dealt a great blow to His Majesty."
"Qiu Wu, tell Duke Zhen Guo about this and see how he reacts. If he wants to come out desperately, just kill him!"
Xue Jingruo closed her beautiful eyes.
She knew very well that Duke Zhen Guo would not react.
Although His Majesty has bloodbathed the Imperial City, he is only an official below the third rank in the Imperial City and cannot touch the foundation of the Xue family.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
If Xue Rong really rushes out regardless of everything, it means that he has no people in his heart from the beginning to the end, but only the power in his hands.
As a daughter, she gave the order to kill her biological father.
This shows how much Xue Jingruo was suffering.
But she had to do it.
Lin Xu's wings were not yet full, and it was revealed that he had acted too hastily. If he had not kept the Zhengguo public relations in the palace, let alone secretly controlled the Yinwuwei, even with Mu Jiushan, he would never have been able to shake the Xue family.
Duke Zhenguo has no military power and only the Yinwuwei army. How can he suppress Mu Jiushan.
Others don't know, but Xue Jingruo, as his daughter, naturally knows everything.
She can still help Lin Xu now, but if Duke Zhen returns to the Xue family, even she, the Queen Mother, will not be able to intervene.
If Duke Zhen Guo dies, the world will be in chaos, but there is still a glimmer of hope for Lin Xu.
But if he doesn't die, he will definitely regain power once he comes out.
The return of imperial power is a foregone conclusion, and the town government will not allow Lin Xu to continue to support the victims in order to win the hearts and minds of the people.
....
A side hall somewhere in the palace.
A large number of Dongchang factory guards patrolled the surrounding area, making it extremely difficult for even a fly to escape.
"Hahaha, okay, okay, she is indeed my good daughter, Xue Rong."
In the side hall, Qiu Wu stood at the door with an expressionless face and told everything about what happened in the imperial city today.
The strange thing is that Xue Rong smiled instead of angry, and even had an expected expression.
"Ruo'er was trained by me. If she wants to return to the imperial power, no one can stop her. I guessed it from the fact that she locked me up here. It's just that this time is much faster than I imagined."
"You are here to kill me!"
Xue Rong looked at Qiu Wu and said.
"If you leave, you will die!" Qiu Wu said calmly.
"Haha, don't worry, I won't leave. I won't go anywhere until Ruoer gives me the order to let me go."
"If I leave, she will be charged with patricide, and I won't let her get her wish."
"I, Xue Rong, have done many evil things and deserve to die. Even if I, Xue Rong, lose in the final step in the future, at least if nothing happens to my son, then the inheritance of my Xue family will never be cut off."
"This girl, can you pass a message to me?"
"Tell all civil and military officials that no one can take action before His Majesty returns to the imperial city, otherwise I, Xue Rong, will be the first to let him go."
Xue Rong's eyes were dark.
He had indeed lost with this move. The general trend was irreversible and the return of imperial power was a foregone conclusion.
Since he couldn't stop it, he would be a favor and take the initiative to welcome the return of imperial power.
Since he had won the imperial power once, he was confident of winning it a second time.
Qiu Wu turned around and walked out of the side hall, a solemn look on her face.
Xue Rong has actually considered the last step.
Ordinary people take one step and look at the next, but Xue Rong only looks at the first step and has the ending figured out.
If he wants to win, then he has nothing to fear. It shows that Xue Rong is just short-sighted and arrogant.
But what he thought was that if he lost, the result would not be certain.
When a person believes that he will lose and die if he loses, will he still watch and remain indifferent?
The jackal is most terrifying when it is near death.
No wonder the Queen Mother wanted to kill the Duke of Zhenguo even if she was charged with patricide.
This enemy is really terrifying.
