Government office.
The Forbidden Army General Gao Qisheng took a sip from his tea cup and felt that the cost of drinking the tea today would be a bit high.
General Lin Ye takes the initiative to invite anyone to drink tea. I am afraid that no matter who comes to drink the tea, it will not be free of charge.
He had been here for half an hour, and Lin Ye was just chatting with him, which made Gao Qisheng feel that every time he was delayed, the tea might become more expensive.
"General Lin."
Gao Qisheng looked at Lin Ye, smiled and said, "I wonder if the general has heard about my character?"
Lin Ye said: "Although I am not familiar with General Gao, I have heard about General Gao's character for a long time. General Gao can be in charge of the Forbidden Army..."
Gao Qisheng said with a smile on his face: "It's all because His Majesty favors me."
Lin Ye smiled.
Gao Qisheng said: "General Lin also knows that I am a reckless person and have never read any books. If you ask me to reason, I will not make sense, and others will not make sense to me."
Lin Ye said: "What a coincidence."
Gao Qisheng: "General Lin is the same as me?"
Lin Ye said: "No, I said Qiao because I have never been a person who likes to reason, and I never like others to reason with me."
Gao Qisheng's eyes narrowed slightly.
Well, what a coincidence, so is he.
At this moment, Pang Panghai came in from the outside with a group of people. He did not come towards Lin Ye and the others, but Gao Qisheng's expression changed slightly after taking a glance.
He asked directly: "General Lin, if I read it correctly just now, those people passing by the door seem to be people from the palace?"
Lin Ye nodded: "Yes."
He looked at Gao Qisheng and asked, "General Gao, you probably don't want to get involved in right and wrong."
Gao Qisheng said: "I am never afraid of right and wrong, but I am afraid of death."
He stood up and said, "Then let's say goodbye. Don't really risk my life."
Lin Ye stood up and said, "I'll see General Gao off."
Gao Qisheng nodded and said as he walked out: "I didn't see anything today, but since General Lin invited me here, I can guess what he did with me. So, should Lin Ye explain?" ?”
He could pretend that he had never been there and would not get involved in this situation, but he didn't want to be a fool, so he still needed an explanation.
Lin Ye said: "Yesterday I invited Gu Xiujin, the chief chamberlain of Zhenyuan Palace, to come over, and I found out that he has been placed under house arrest in Zhenyuan Palace."
Gao Qisheng's expression suddenly changed: "Is there such a thing?"
Lin Ye said: "Deputy General Manager Xin Yue locked him up. If I hadn't sent someone to invite him, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to get out."
"This Xin Yue was instigated by others and dared to collude with the nobles in the harem. Firstly, she framed Eunuch Gu and wanted to get rid of him. Secondly, she dared to come up with a vicious plan to seduce the prince of the prison country to cause trouble in the harem and interfere with the government."
Speaking of this, Lin Ye looked at Gao Qisheng and said: "This is a scandal in the palace, and it is also a shame for His Majesty. Once the news leaks out and the people know about it, General Gao should understand that it will be too ugly."
Gao Qisheng stopped, looked at Lin Ye and asked: "So you dare to touch the nobles in the palace? Even if this is true, without His Majesty's will, whoever touches the nobles in the palace is treason."
Lin Ye said: "General Gao just said that you can take charge of the Imperial Army because of His Majesty's preference."
Gao Qisheng nodded: "Yes, I want talent but not talent, and I want virtue but not virtue. If it weren't for Your Majesty's preference, how could I hold an important position?"
Lin Ye said: "What a coincidence, so am I."
Gao Qisheng was startled again.
Lin Ye said calmly: "I can be executed prematurely for treason, but Your Majesty cannot be discredited due to scandal."
Gao Qisheng's expression changed obviously.
Lin Ye killed those chamberlains and those nobles. Up to this point, it was all because of his evil intentions and had nothing to do with His Majesty.
Those scandals in the palace have ended here, nothing has happened, and the nobles who have died will also be compensated.
Gao Qisheng hugged Lin Ye and said, "I'm not as good as you."
After saying this, Gao Qisheng strode out.
He already understood what Lin Ye meant by inviting him to drink tea. As long as he was not in the Forbidden Army camp, the Forbidden Army would not be able to mobilize when Lin Ye kidnapped the nobles in the palace.
Think about it again, things have reached this point, and even the head of the office, Ning Weimo, has not shown up. What does that mean?
It means that Ning Weimo knows that this matter is too big and he has to hide.
Since he was hiding, it proved that Ning Weimo didn't want to stop Lin Ye.
The best result of this matter now is that it will not be publicized until Lin Ye has completed the bigger thing he wants to do. Once it is publicized, when the people find out, it will definitely cause an uproar.
Thinking of this, before getting on the car, Gao Qisheng ordered his personal soldier, the captain: "You ride back to the camp first and summon the generals of the army to wait for me to return to discuss matters. If anyone fails to show up, he will be dealt with according to military law."
The captain of the personal army responded immediately. After mounting his horse, he stopped caring about the rules of whether horses could be ridden in Geling City and started running wildly.
When Gao Qisheng returned to the Forbidden Army camp, all the army chiefs were already waiting for him in the tent.
As soon as they saw Gao Qisheng entering, everyone neatly performed a military salute.
In terms of seriousness in running the army, Gao Qisheng is no worse than Lin Yelai.
Moreover, this man has a bold personality and is worthy of being a brother to the soldiers, so in some aspects, he is actually more powerful than Lin Ye.
"I asked you all to come, two things."
Gao Qisheng strode to the handsome seat and sat down, glanced at everyone and then continued.
"First, each army will deploy one thousand elite troops, totaling eight thousand troops. From now on, they will patrol the city of Geling day and night to strictly investigate those who discuss government affairs privately and spread rumors."
"The city's wine shops, teahouses, brothels, casinos, inns...these places must be strictly inspected, and those doing business must be told that anyone who dares to talk nonsense, or allows others to talk nonsense elsewhere, will They are all punished with death."
"Second."
Gao Qisheng glanced at everyone again.
"Deploy three thousand people from my personal barracks to strengthen the security outside Zhenyuan Palace. No one is allowed to enter or leave Zhenyuan Palace without my token or permission."
If the generals didn't take the previous military order seriously, then the generals were all a little shocked by this military order.
It is said that the security of Zhenyuan Palace is strengthened. Doesn't this mean that Zhenyuan Palace is surrounded?
Gao Qisheng waved his hand: "Go ahead and do it. I'll give you one hour to select people and another hour to make arrangements. Before today, you must complete the things I told you."
"yes!"
The generals of each army responded immediately.
Although they didn't know what happened, and they didn't understand what the general's intentions were, but the general's military orders were like mountains, and they just had to act in accordance with the military orders.
Soon after, the news reached the government office.
Lin Ye nodded after hearing this and was a little more grateful to General Gao Qisheng, although he felt that Gao Qisheng's arrangement was unnecessary.
With the troops Lin Ye currently had, he naturally could not control the public opinion in the city.
And public opinion is precisely the weapon that Wang Luoshen and others can use at any time.
Wang Luoshen and others have been operating in Geling City for many years, and their families are all very wealthy. Not to mention whether they can instigate the people, even the number of employees in their respective businesses adds up to a huge number.
If all these people are sent out to spread the word, there will be an uproar in Geling City soon.
Gao Qisheng's mobilization of the imperial army will not silence the whole city, but at least it will not cause any big disturbances in Geling City.
"Let's go meet those noble people."
Lin Ye stood up and walked out, followed immediately by Pang Panghai and others.
Until now, Ning Weimo has not come to this government office. Lin Ye still can't understand Ning Weimo's little plan?
In fact, from the beginning, Lin Ye was sure that Ning Weimo would react like this.
Even though the emperor had already explained to Ning Weimo about his raising an army, Ning Weimo had such a personality that he could still hide whenever he could.
He still wants to be the Prime Minister and doesn't want to be involved in this matter.
When we arrived at the front lobby, there were many corpses hanging precariously on the beams of the lobby.
The nobles in the palace have never seen such a scene.
Besides, they also knew most of the chamberlains who were hanged.
At this point, no matter how stupid they are, they still know what Lin Ye wants to do.
Lin Ye walked to the lobby, glanced at the noble people, then walked slowly to the main seat and sat down.
"General."
One of the concubines looked at Lin Ye and asked, "You sent troops to kidnap us here privately. Do you know what your crime is?"
Lin Ye glanced at her and did not respond. Instead, he pointed to the beams of the room: "Pang Panghai, please make some room."
This sentence scared the concubine and took a few steps back.
Lin Ye said: "Don't worry, gentlemen, you yourself know very well why I invited you here. Such a scandal must not leave any evidence of confession."
"So you nobles here will not be tortured to extract confessions. What you don't want to say is exactly what I don't want to spread."
As soon as he finished speaking, the nobles were obviously relieved.
The concubine who just wanted to suppress Lin Ye's momentum now spoke a little softer.
"???????????????Then why did the general invite us here? Although I don't know what the scandal is that the general is talking about, but the general asked for help like this, It's still unreasonable, forget your status as a courtier."
Lin Ye said: "Please, don't ask about the case, don't ask about the palace news, just one thing."
He said matter-of-factly: "I'm just going to hang you up."
After saying this, Lin Ye waved his hand, and Pang Panghai immediately stepped forward.
Of course, these nobles would also bring guards, but at this time, those guards were controlled outside the hall.
Lin Ye watched the nobles being hung up one by one. From struggling to kicking his legs in the air, to gradually becoming silent, he remained expressionless.
He could have his soldiers hang these nobles with just one order without having to be present in person.
But he just had to watch with his own eyes, these people died cleanly in front of him, and he couldn't even say a word that should or shouldn't be said.
Of course, if these people say anything, it will become extremely useful evidence.
It is even possible to directly bite the Wang family and Wang Luoshen.
But Lin Ye didn't want to.
He was never a normal person.
And this is precisely what Ning Weimo is most worried about, and it is something that Ning Weimo has expected and said... Once Lin Ye returns to Geling on the grounds that Xin Yanque is missing in Geling City, Then, you will completely enter Lin Ye's rhythm.
His Majesty's plan is still there, and Lin Ye's every step seems to be within this plan.
But how to go, no one can control Lin Ye.
Ning Weimo is still outside Zhenyuan Palace. So far, the queen has not summoned him.
Of course he could guess the outcome, but he had to wait here.
If he didn't wait here, then he would have no choice but to see Lin Ye in person.
Relatively speaking, it is much more comfortable to wait here.
He is waiting here, and Master Cifu such as Xumi Pianruo and Yao Xinyuan are not leaving either.
Who is not a smart person anymore.
Everyone is waiting here, no one can say anything to anyone.
Besides, if such a big event happened, involving the nobles of Zhenyuan Palace, is it wrong for them to wait to ask the Queen for instructions?
His Royal Highness Jianguo couldn't find him, so he had to look for the queen.
If the Queen didn't see them, it was the Queen's business, and it had nothing to do with them. They had been waiting with all their heart and soul, and they didn't even dare to take a single step.
A true loyal minister.
Xumi Pianruo felt emotion again in her heart, there are no good people in Yipin...Fortunately, so do I.
