After Ling Xiaoyu ascended the throne, the Supreme Emperor completely let himself go and begged Cang Qiyuan to take him to their dimension to have a look.
Cang Qiyuan had no choice but to take them to the space with Xia Qingfeng's consent. Of course, the eunuch Shen Youfu also followed. When the two arrived in the space, they didn't want to go out. They said they didn't want to live in their wooden house and asked to build another one on the mountain. There was no other way. Cang Qiyuan could only find wood and use his mind to build a wooden house on the mountain. Then he found a lot of daily necessities from Cang Lanruo's space and arranged them. Now they can do many things in the space. Control it with your mind, but only for them.
So, the two old men followed a few spirit foxes up and down the mountain in the space all day long. After having enough fun climbing mountains and catching fish, the two old men wanted to farm in the space again, so various farm tools and seeds were also arranged. People are very busy in space, and they are in good health and delicious.
Outside the space, the first thing Ling Xiaoyu did after ascending the throne was to join forces with Cang Qiyuan to secretly investigate Cen Taichang, his family and Concubine Cen, and collect evidence.
Working together inside and outside the palace, many evil deeds committed by the Cen family were quickly discovered.
Mrs. Cen often took advantage of his position to accept bribes from officials, but he was greedy. He only wanted celebrity calligraphy and paintings, antique ornaments and other items, but not gold and silver. If the officials below him did not give them to him, they would not be able to get them no matter how good they were. If you get a promotion, you may even be ostracized. You will have to do errands that no one likes to do and get the least money.
Not only that, his family also used his reputation to make money wantonly. In his hometown of Yizhou, the clan members used his name to enclose land, especially after promoting high-yielding crops such as sweet potatoes and corn, and they made a lot of money.
His son-in-law, Taicang Lingcheng, was even more committed. He not only made false accounts, but also embezzled disaster relief funds. It's just that they were too secretive and their books were too clean. Witnesses alone were not enough.
"Then we'll convict him of having a huge amount of property from unknown sources. We'll first ransack his hometown and his son-in-law's home. If we find that his expenses and property are obviously not in line with their proper income, the difference is huge, and the source cannot be explained, we will then Go raid his Taichang's mansion and leave him speechless." Ling Xiaoyu, a modern soul, had seen these things in the news in his previous life, and he immediately thought of a way.
"Okay, let's do it!"
After hearing this, the Supreme Emperor, who was fishing with Shen Youfu in the space, complained: "Grandson, why didn't you tell me earlier if you had this idea? I have wanted to deal with that old guy for a long time. You can go ahead and do it without any scruples, including Concubine Cen. She has been domineering these years, so it’s time to clean up her act, but over there in Yizhou, you have to keep an eye on her and don’t let Li Bin make any move.”
Taking action immediately, Cang Qiyuan and Cang Dao drove overnight with the imperial edict to Yizhou to join the 200 special forces members led by Wu San. A time was set, and early the next morning, both sides in Beijing and Yizhou acted simultaneously to raid homes.
There were a large number of Yulin guards in the capital, and Ling Xiaoyu's house raid went smoothly. Cen often went to the main hall to kneel down and beg His Majesty for an explanation, but Ling Xiaoyu didn't see her at all.
There were some obstacles on the Yizhou side. Cang Qiyuan brought two Eagle Guards to Li Bin's house as a guest. Li Bin was very surprised. What did this Buddha come to me for? I had no choice but to treat him well and chatted awkwardly all morning.
Cang Dao and Song Jinzhi, the governor of Yizhou, went to the old house of the Cen family to raid the house. The old house of the Cen family was located in Shu County, south of Yizhou Prefecture. It was not too far away and took less than two hours on horseback. Cang Dao led fifty people from the special force and a group of officers and soldiers from Yizhou Yamen to arrive at Cen's house. The officers and soldiers immediately surrounded the house. Song Jinzhi sent someone to knock on the door, but after waiting for a long time, the door was opened, and people poured out. Not only the head of the Cen family, but also many young adults with weapons.
An old man about the same age as Cen Taichang came out and said, "I don't know if the Governor's visit is too far away to welcome you. What's the point of mobilizing troops like this today?" He said it politely, but there was no respect on his face.
"Your Majesty's decree!" Song Jinzhi cleared his throat, and the Cen clan members knelt down one after another under the leadership of their clan leader. "Your Majesty, you have received a report about the Cen clan, saying that the Cen clan has been encroaching on land here, and the people are living in dire straits. Today, we have sent a special imperial envoy to come and conduct a thorough investigation." Then he looked at Cen clan chief, "The emperor said that Cen Taichang is a member of the imperial court. The minister of humerus must not be unjust, and once it is found that the reported feelings are inconsistent with the facts, the person will be severely punished.”
"How can you investigate casually without evidence?" The clan leader stood up and looked directly at Song Jinzhi, "May I ask where the imperial envoy is?"
"Your Excellency is a little busy. He only sent his subordinate Cang Dao. Lord Cang is here." After saying that, Cang Dao rode forward and looked down at Patriarch Cen.
"Cang Dao...Zhan Wangye!" Patriarch Cen was shocked.
"That's right. Clan Chief Cen, why don't you get out of the way quickly? Don't affect our errands!" Cang Dao said unceremoniously.
Patriarch Cen lowered his head and pondered for a moment. He glanced at a man in his thirties and said with a smile: "Master Cang, please give me some face. There are so many female relatives in the family. I am afraid that such a large-scale mobilization will scare them. Why don't we go have tea first, and I'll send someone to inform you first."
"The Prince of War can investigate and deal with it if he has the order. As for the female relatives..." Cang Dao waved his hand, and a dozen strong women came up, "The Prince of War has already thought of it for you. If there is any offense, the clan leader can ask Mr. Cen to Go to the emperor to complain." Then with a wave of his hand, the government office and the mother-in-law were about to enter.
Patriarch Cen became anxious and shouted: "Stop them quickly!"
"Is Patriarch Cen trying to resist the decree?" Cang Dao shouted loudly.
"Hmph, you come here to search without any evidence. We, the Cen clan, are not easy to mess with." After saying that, he returned to the house. A group of men backed away little by little with weapons, and finally closed the door. No one knew. Yes, the man in his thirties just ran out through the tunnel.
Cang Dao calmly took out the loudspeaker from his backpack and shouted to the people in the yard, "People in the yard, listen, if you obey the investigation, you may still have a chance to survive. If you resist the order, it will be the same." Yu Mouti, you should know the consequences. I will count to three. If you don't take the initiative to open the door, we will take action." Then Cang Dao began to count, and the people inside were also a little panicked. They kept looking at the clan leader and waiting for him. speak.
"It can't be opened. We can't help but investigate. Xiao Wuzi has gone to Li Bin to report the news. We will have reinforcements soon."
After counting the three people outside, there was still no movement inside. Cang Dao waved to the special forces behind, and then retreated with the government officials. Song Jinzhi was a little worried, "Can these dozens of people do it? There are hundreds of people inside. !”
Cang Dao led everyone back to a safe distance, smiled slightly at Song Jinzhi, "Just watch, Lord Governor!"
Only half of the special forces stayed below to guard, and only half used flying grappling hooks to climb up the high wall. When Wu San saw many iron nails inserted into the high wall, he whistled, and everyone quickly stuffed them into their mouths. A pill, then holding the flying grappling hook with one hand, stepping on the wall with both feet, and forming a triangle with the wall to fix the body. The other hand pointed towards the inside and put a handful of powder. Everyone walked around the wall, every two People in the same courtyard fell to the ground before they could react.
The door was violently broken open with a steel knife, and the battle ended. Cang Dao looked at Song Jinzhi who was stunned and asked, "What do you think, Lord Song?"
"Well-trained and highly adaptable, Lord Cang, is this the Emperor's special force?"
"Exactly!"
"Okay, Mingjun, Mingjun! Dayu will surely usher in a prosperous age. Your Highness, the Prince, will definitely be happy if you know the truth!" There were tears in his eyes when he said this.
"Yes, Dayu will definitely usher in an unprecedented peaceful age!" Cang Dao also said firmly.
Xiao Wu, who secretly sent a message to Li Bin on the other side, learned that Prince Zhan did not dare to enter the mansion and only waited for Prince Zhan to leave before reporting the news. What else does Li Bin not understand now? Then he detained Xiao Wu and executed him secretly, while he thanked the guests behind closed doors.
The ensuing investigation naturally went smoothly. The emperor and Cang Qiyuan found a large amount of gold and silver, as well as land deeds and house deeds in the two places, and then placed the evidence in front of Cen Taichang in the morning. They mainly used space to deliver the evidence so quickly! Cen Taichang still thought about abandoning this son-in-law to protect himself. His daughter had already agreed, but who knew that the emperor had already produced evidence that Yizhou had been confiscated? When did they go there? Why didn't he receive any news?
Faced with a large amount of banknotes and land deeds, he was unable to provide a reasonable source, and his home was confiscated by the emperor and imprisoned. At this time, everyone pushed against the wall. Many people in the palace stood up and accused Concubine Cen of beating and killing palace people at will, and also murdered several concubines and princes. The Supreme Emperor also sent a decree to banish Concubine Cen into the cold palace. The second prince deprived her of the title of prince and went to guard the imperial mausoleum.
