To talk about a 'thorough investigation into the Cao family murder case', it would be better to say that it was a 'warning' given to Liu E by Lao Fan and his gang.
The Cao family has been wiped out. If the Queen Mother can't even tolerate a fifteen-year-old boy, then let's stop talking nonsense and let's fight with real swords and guns!
Arrogant?
But Liu E could only endure it...
She also knew that attacking Cao An at this time would only intensify the conflict between the two factions in the DPRK and China.
It was not a good thing for her or the court.
After Liu E drank the sweet soup, her stomach felt warm and her mood improved a lot.
She lightly wiped the corners of her mouth, handed the handkerchief to Yang Huaimin, and paced back and forth in the hall: "How are you doing outside recently? Are you still safe?"
Since Liu E came to power, there have been constant discussions from outside.
Those ignorant people were instigated by some people and started to slander themselves. It is disgusting to think about it.
Yang Huaimin naturally knew what to say and said with a smile: "In reply to the Queen Mother, things are fine outside..."
"Haha, do you think I am too old to be in a coma?"
"I dare not..."
Yang Huaimin knelt down, full of fear.
"I don't blame you, get up... Even if you really heard something, I'm afraid you wouldn't dare to tell me clearly. Those people... are ignorant and ignorant!"
Liu E's good mood suddenly dropped.
Yang Huaimin was still thinking about how to reassure her, when Liu E spoke.
"Let Yin Wuyun come over."
"yes."
The little chamberlain flew away.
…
Imperial City Division.
The first secret disc organization in the Song Dynasty!
Throughout the dynasties, there have been some mysterious official organizations. They are not only responsible for protecting the safety of the emperor, but they are also the emperor's ears and eyes to monitor the world.
For example, the "Jinwu Guards" of the Tang Dynasty, the "Jinyi Guards" of the Ming Dynasty, and the "sticky poles" of the Qing Dynasty...
Without exception, these mysterious institutions belong to the private power of the royal family—directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor!
But now that the emperor's power is limited, Liu E naturally becomes the new master of the Imperial City Division.
After a while, Yin Wuyun floated over like a ghost.
As the head of the three chief magistrates of the Imperial City Department, he not only had the power to monitor all officials in Kyoto, but also had spies and minions all over the Song Dynasty, even in Northern Liao and Xixia.
He was dressed in a black robe with gold trim along the line, and wore aquiline boots.
This is the standard attire of the Imperial City Secretary. The chief officers wear black robes with gold trim, the deputy chiefs wear black robes with silver trim, and the officials and officials below all wear white trim.
"Meet the Queen Mother."
Yin Wuyun knelt down and saluted.
Officials of the Song Dynasty usually do not need to kneel down to worship, but everyone knows that he is a chamberlain, and his rank is the same as Yang Huaimin, so the etiquette must follow the standards of a chamberlain in the palace.
"Get up..."
Liu E just glanced at him and then looked away.
She doesn't like this person...
Hiding his body under his black robe, he moved as silently as a ghost, and even his words were somewhat creepy and ghostly.
This subconsciously alienates people.
After all, no one likes dealing with ghosts.
"Is there any gossip outside recently?"
"have……"
Yin Wuyun is not Yang Huaimin. He is the emperor's eyes, not the emperor's pistachio. He knows what he should do.
Even if some words are really unpleasant, if the emperor asks him, he can only answer truthfully, otherwise he will be guilty of deceiving the holy listener...
Moreover, within the Song Dynasty... even a flying bird cannot escape the eyes of the Imperial City Secretary!
"Tell me."
Liu E sat back down.
Yang Huaimin poured her a cup of warm tea and retired. When passing by Yin Wuyun, she gave him a look without leaving any trace...
Stop saying things that make the Queen Mother unhappy!
But Yin Wuyun seemed as if he hadn't heard anything and lowered his head and said: "There are people talking outside, that the Queen Mother is hegemonic and arbitrary, suppressing Your Majesty and the courtiers... This is the crime of stealing the country!"
boom!
Liu E threw the teacup: "Go on!"
"In addition, the outer city has been a bit lively recently..."
Yin Wuyun organized his speech: "Fan Zhongyan privately detained two cases of wounding and made it known that anyone who is an enemy of Cao An is an enemy of Fan Zhongyan!"
There is this Cao An again, it seems he is still uneasy!
Liu E said calmly: "At first, Cao An fled back to Bianliang in embarrassment, and then he publicized the 'Cao family's annihilation case' in a high-profile manner... The DPRK and the Central Government have been fighting endlessly!"
"What does he want to do?"
Yin Wuyun did not answer, but continued: "Since Cao An entered Bianliang, he has successively gathered the gangsters in the outer city, big and small, and set up a 'Cao Chamber of Commerce' shop to suppress the business community in the outer city!"
"Three days ago, Cao An, Zhao Yunsheng, the young prince of the Prince of Chu, and a group of clan dignitaries jointly opened a brothel along the Bian River, called 'Wan Yue'!"
Liu E frowned slightly: "I don't want to hear this..."
"The revenue for that day was 3,700 yuan!"
"..."
Liu E was stunned.
As the most powerful woman in the Song Dynasty, she had reason to make associations with this...
One million dollars a year!
Is it just a brothel, so huge profits?
What does Cao An want to do?
"Go on..."
Liu E moved her body unconsciously.
"Cao An has a lot of enemies recently. Yang Huaimin once quietly sent a message outside the palace... saying that he wanted those people to drive Cao An out of Bianliang completely. It would be best..."
"explain."
Liu E's eyes were slightly cold.
"It's best to make it kill itself!"
On the surface, no one would attack Cao An, but what if he died?
"Why, does Cao An still want to avenge the Cao family?"
Liu E felt that this child was seeking death and God could not help him.
"yes!"
There seemed to be a will-o'-the-wisp flashing in Yin Wuyun's eyes: "Cao An crippled the thugs sent by those people, and then beat the perpetrator, Jia Changjun, the shopkeeper of Yichun Tower, into a disabled person!"
These things may seem secret, but they cannot be hidden from the royal family.
Hearing this, Liu E sighed: "What a ruthless method, such a sharp counterattack! And...he didn't go into details, he just took revenge on the little shopkeeper. This was telling those people that although he wanted revenge, he didn't want to get involved for no reason. In strife.”
He is only fifteen years old, right?
If such a young man grows up, I don’t know whether it will be a blessing or a curse!
"What about Cao An?"
Liu E gradually became interested. She wanted to know... what was so special about Cao Lili's grandson?
"Cao An is fine..."
When Yin Wuyun said this, his eyes flashed twice: "He ordered his thugs to surrender voluntarily that day, and also prepared the jailers in advance. From the moment he made the move, he had already prepared everything!"
In this way, even if the whole world knows that he did it, there is still no evidence!
Isn't this the same method as Yang Huaimin?
He forced Cao Yongli to death, but he made everyone in the world dare not reveal the truth...
After a while, Liu E whispered: "If he knows what's interesting, then he won't care about it and just let the fuss go... Anyway, it's already like this in the court, and making a fuss will calm down everyone's anger."
"But if he is..."
Liu E's eyes suddenly turned cold: "You can't keep this kid!"
"yes!"
Yin Wuyun bowed his head and agreed.
