Yang Shu is not very accustomed to the climate in the north, it is too cold.
It's cold and snowy in the Imperial City in December, but at least it's not so cold that water turns to ice like here in Fengjie City. As long as you go out, you will be able to apply a layer of frost on your face in no time.
Yang Shu's cultivation level is not high and he is not that good, so being too cold or too hot is not friendly to him.
He opened the window a little to get some air, but as a result, it was completely white outside. Immediately, a biting cold wind penetrated into the room, which made Yang Shu shiver and quickly closed it.
The charcoal burning in the room was warm, but the air was very stuffy, making Yang Shu a little anxious.
"Where are the people from the Song family? Can we get them out?" Yang Shu opened the window a crack for the third time, inhaled the biting but fresh air for a while, and then frowned and asked the guest mastermind behind him.
"Replying to the prince, the Ministry of Punishment was very careful and investigated the Song family's private possession of a large amount of spiritual stones. The charge was "possessing a large amount of prohibited materials with evil intentions." Now the Song family's business and residence All the residences were sealed, and all the accounts at home were taken away by people from the Major Case Department of the Ministry of Punishment."
"Accounts? Haha, the people in the Ministry of Justice are naive. Do they think they can find me by checking the Song family's accounts? They can check normal business transactions at will. By the way, find out the accounts between us and the Song family first. If they can get The one I want to take out depends on whether the people from the Ministry of Punishment dare to add anything to the Song family's accounts. If they dare, I will make them suffer this time!"
The Song family's business does not rely on scarce resources such as Panling Stone. Restaurants, cloth, and tea are the businesses that the Song family has been engaged in for many years. So to say that the Song family had a large amount of pan-spiritual stones in their possession was a joke to Yang Shu. The Song family is not a cultivator, and they are not in the business of spiritual stones. Even if they want to use them, they don't have to keep tens of thousands of them at home, right? Besides, such a valuable thing was just hastily hidden in a secret room under the firewood shed in another courtyard... This was too perfunctory a frame-up.
However, it is basically impossible to overturn the case now. The things were dug out in the Song family in full view of the public. This is what is called taking someone else's soil. As for whether it was framed? Will the Ministry of Punishment help the Song family reverse the case if they are relieved to deal with it?
So now Yang Shu's idea is to get the Song family out of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Otherwise, who would be willing to work with him in the future?
But the good news is that "possession of prohibited materials" is not enough to be beheaded. Even if the other party now uses the "money and grain austerity strategy" as an excuse, it is still out of reach. After all, "holding" and "selling" are two different things. You can be punished, but your life will never be lost. This is also the reason why the Ministry of Punishment took people and sealed their homes but did not ransack them. Because it’s not enough.
"First, appease those people who have close contact with the Song family, so that they don't panic. At the same time, let them deal with all their belongings inside and outside as soon as possible, and keep a close eye on the people in the family. The Song family is a traitor. , let them also remind themselves.
By the way, have you found out why the Ministry of Punishment targeted me this time? Who is the one who framed the Song family behind the scenes? "
Yang Shu would not think that it was simply the Ministry of Punishment that was messing with him. Behind the Ministry of Punishments is Left Prime Minister Ye Lansheng, and now that the big test has begun, if all forces do not take sides in advance, there will be a longer wait-and-see period. Ye Lansheng had never heard of the prince who was siding with him before, so why would he jump out now? Was he tricked by Bai Changqing before venting his anger, or was he already secretly siding with a certain prince?
"Your Majesty, the intelligence in our own hands does not have any information about this. Neither Ma Xuanlin of the Ministry of Justice nor Ye Lansheng, the Left Prime Minister, have given any indication of which prince they have chosen. And the information in Yueying Tower has no information in this regard for the time being. It's just that Ye Lansheng has met twice in private with King Jing and King Qian recently.
So we thought Ye Lansheng might choose one of King Jing and King Qian as his favorite. "
Yang Shu frowned deeply. If the person recognized as the most powerful now is his eldest brother, King Jing Yang Baicheng. Next is his second brother, Yang Ye, the king of Qian.
Ye Lansheng is now the head of the civil service. If someone is chosen, a large number of officials in the country will follow suit and choose the same team. Invisibly, at least half of the civil servants can be captured.
Of course, Yang Shu's current power can fundamentally weaken Ye Lansheng's "exemplary role" to a great extent. If you think about it carefully, does this count as stealing Ye Lansheng's manpower and power?
"The people called Yueying Tower are targeting Ye Lansheng and the people from the Ministry of Punishment. If they really take refuge with my eldest or second brother, they will definitely show their flaws. As for the Song family, let our people impeach the Ministry of Punishment at the next court meeting." As a matter of fact, it is obvious that the case can be closed as soon as possible but it is delayed, and it is suspected that there is something private.
Then I checked what kind of businesses Ma Xuanlin and Ye Lansheng, the ministers of the Ministry of Justice, had behind them. After I found out, they all got mixed up with me. "
Yang Shu is not a soft persimmon, although many people think he is. But this time Yang Shu was not prepared to swallow his anger.
Yes, the positions of Ye Lansheng and Ma Xuanlin cannot be moved by Yang Shu, a mere prince. But is the huge business network in Yang Shu's hands really a vegetarian? Is the decoration beautiful?
"Will this anger Ye Lansheng? After all, it has not yet been determined whether Ye Lansheng will turn to King Jing or King Qian, so my subordinates think that they must endure it a little longer?"
"There's no need to bear it anymore. Ever since Ye Lansheng dared to jump out and put his selfishness above the justice of the country, he was destined to not have a good ending. Do you think you can hide it from everyone without evidence? We can guess it, I Those brothers couldn't figure it out? How could they not know that the advisers under the father's command were too rich?
Therefore, it is not so important whether Ye Lansheng joins my eldest and second brothers. A blind tiger, is it still a tiger?
If you don't believe it, wait until we take care of Ye Lansheng and Ma Xuanlin's financial fortune. Ye Lansheng may not be able to protect himself by then. "
The conspirator who stood with his hands tied nodded when he heard this. Yang Shu's guess was not impossible. In addition, now is the time for all parties to show their swords, and the method of swallowing one's anger is indeed a bit meaningless.
"My subordinate understands. I will do as you command, Your Majesty."
"Well, remember, don't leave a family to them. Let the Prime Minister and the Minister of Punishment also have a taste of what it is like to live purely on salary. I hope they have a surplus at home, otherwise it will be funny."
Who among the high officials in the DPRK depends on their salary? Who can afford to support more than a dozen slaves based on salary alone? What Yang Shu has to do is to let everyone know that offending him is not a trivial matter, but may not even be able to afford food!
Ke Qing accepted the order and hurriedly went to do it. Yang Shu was left alone with a cup of hot tea and continued to read the documents in his hand. Above was the analysis made by his Ke Qing on the previous actions of Xuan Qingwei.
"It seems that Pang Ban is really planning to watch the show. Anyway, it doesn't matter if he goes to the show, this will free up his hands to deal with other people."
