When Ji Luochen ordered Jiang Yunsheng to be taken to prison.

Outside the former Zuo Xiang's residence, I don't know when it was heavily surrounded by the royal palace's imperial guards.

Some people who saw this scene looked shocked. They didn't know what happened. Why was Zuo Xiang's Mansion still surrounded by the Forbidden Army?

When the Imperial Guard appeared in front of the mansion, someone had already reported to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li, who was in the main hall of the mansion, couldn't help but sigh when he heard the report from his subordinates.

Because he knew that the Jiang family was in doom.

The new emperor is established, and the Jiang family has no chance of turning over.

This time his father goes to the palace, it is a game. If his father wins, the Jiang family can continue to be glorious for a hundred years. If his father loses, then the Jiang family is completely finished.

But now that the Forbidden Army has come, the result has been shown. His father failed to give the Jiang family a chance to continue to be glorious.

Following Zuo Qianhu's order, a group of forbidden soldiers rushed in with weapons in hand.

In an instant, the entire Zuo Xiang Mansion was filled with shouts.

Zuo Qianhu sat on his horse and rode directly into the house. He pointed his sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "Capture everyone, let one person go and come to see him with his head raised."

After hearing Zuo Qianhu's words, the imperial guards did not dare to be careless and searched the rooms directly. Any place where someone could be hidden was searched.

Then there were groups of Forbidden Soldiers carrying boxes of gold, silver and soft items and placing them neatly in the yard.

The Jiang family has been an official in the government for so many years, so it is naturally impossible for them to be free from corruption and bribery.

In the past, it was because the Jiang family was so powerful that no one dared to check them.

Now that the Jiang family is being dealt with, naturally all the embezzled money has been confiscated.

Looking at the boxes of dazzling gold and silver treasures, everyone looked shocked.

This inspection of the Jiang family can be said to have filled half of the national treasury.

Sure enough, if the country wants to get rich, killing corrupt officials is the way out.

Especially for the families of corrupt officials, it can definitely save ten years of development time.

But everyone knows that no matter how much the Jiang family talks, nothing will happen. The main reason is that the Jiang family has lost power.

If the Jiang family was still as powerful as before, no one would care about the house even if it was built with gold.

And once you lose power, even if you embezzle a copper coin, it is a heinous crime.

Gold, silver and other items were then loaded into carriages and transported to the palace.

All members of the Jiang family were shackled and escorted to the Penal Department Prison.

On this day, the entire streets and alleys of the imperial city were discussing the Jiang family's affairs.

The Jiang family, which was once unparalleled, fell into such a predicament overnight. Many people couldn't help but sigh that they were once emperor and only courtiers.

Unexpectedly, when the new emperor just ascended the throne, the first person to be operated on would be the Jiang family, which was in full swing.

In the residence of the right prime minister, Yun Xiao also got the news that the Jiang family was raided, and couldn't help but feel a little restless.

"Master, the Jiang family has been defeated like this, and the new emperor's methods are too cruel."

"Do you think the new emperor's next target will be you, my master?"

Yun Tao, the old housekeeper of the Yun family, couldn't help but worry.

Yun Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.

"It's hard to say, but I still underestimate this new emperor."

"I thought that the current situation in the Zhou Dynasty would be difficult to sustain even if the new emperor had great talents and strategies. I didn't expect that he would be able to overthrow the Jiang family just after he ascended the throne. If preparations were not made early, my Yun family might not be spared either."

"Judging from the behavior of this new emperor, he is definitely a ruthless person. We must let him know the importance of my Yun family before he can stop his actions."

Hearing Yun Xiao's words, the old housekeeper frowned and said, "Master, what should we do next?"

Yun Xiao pondered for a moment and said: "For the present plan, we can get the new emperor to let our Yun family go. Perhaps that is the only thing that can be done."

The old housekeeper couldn't help but look at him and said in a low voice: "Master, this is King Qi..."

Yun Xiao nodded: "Yes, that's the thing. I have kept this secret for ten years. Now the life and death of my Yun family is at stake. I can only trade this secret for a chance of survival."

"Then Master, will you enter the palace now?"

The old housekeeper is Yun Xiao's absolute confidant. The secret that Yun Xiao mentioned was also investigated by the old housekeeper himself, so he is qualified to discuss family affairs with Yun Xiao.

"No, now is not the time. I can only tell this secret to the new emperor at a critical moment. If I tell it now, I may not be able to get the bargaining chip I want."

Yun Xiao shook his head and said.

The old housekeeper nodded: "Well, the master is still thoughtful."



At this time, the prison of the Ministry of Punishment was overcrowded.

The Minister of Punishment looked at the Jiang family members imprisoned in the prison and couldn't help but be secretly frightened by the new emperor's methods.

But at the same time, the Minister of Punishment also became more afraid and awe of Ji Luochen.

Even the Jiang family, the prime minister of the left, can take care of it. I am afraid no one will dare to have second thoughts in the future.

Jiang Li, who was imprisoned, saw his father in the cell and couldn't help but stepped forward and asked with concern: "Father, how are you?"

Jiang Yunsheng's face turned pale and he saw Jiang Li waving his hands weakly: "I'm fine as a father. It's just that our Jiang family is finished. A thousand-year-old foundation has been destroyed in one fell swoop. I am the sinner of the Jiang family."

Although Jiang Li also had resentment in his heart, if his father had not insisted on meeting the new emperor with a tough attitude, the family would not have ended up like this.

But he couldn't hate it anymore. His father also wanted to fight for a future for the family. Even if he failed, it was for the sake of the family that he ended up like this.

"Father, I don't blame you. I know your good intentions. You also want to find a way out for the family. The only blame is that Ji Wujiang is such a waste. Such an advantage is actually overturned. Maybe this is also our Jiang family's fault. Life."

"Even if you compromise, Father, I estimate that the new emperor will not let our Jiang family go. After all, no emperor will leave anyone alive who has ever opposed him."

"It's just father, what should we do now? We can't let the family lose any incense."

"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must ensure that the family can pass it on in the future."

Hearing Jiang Li's inquiry, Jiang Yunsheng said slowly: "You don't need to worry about this. I have already prepared it. Before coming to the imperial city, I had someone send Xiao Qi out, and the family's inherited skills were also brought by Xiao Qi. Now that we are gone, as for whether our Jiang family can make a comeback one day, it depends on whether Xiao Qi has the ability."

Jiang Li couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that his father had been prepared. He felt relieved.

Even if everyone in the Jiang family is dead, as long as Xiao Qi is still alive, the inheritance will not be cut off.

The Xiao Qi mentioned by Jiang Yunsheng is the youngest direct descendant of the Jiang family and the most talented junior in the Jiang family.

As long as nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be able to achieve something with the resources and skills left to him by his family.

As for whether the Jiang family can be restored to glory, it all depends on fate.

But just as the prison of the Ministry of Punishment was busy, it was detaining many people from the Jiang family.

An old man sneaked into the prison secretly.

This old man is none other than the thirteenth elder of the Blood Killing Sect.

The Thirteenth Elder came here this time to kill Feng Han and complete the mission that the Blood Fiend had not completed.

The Blood Killing Sect is the number one killer organization in the world. From the beginning of its establishment, it has never failed to complete any task it has taken on.

This time, the blood evil failed in the mission of killing Feng Han. Someone from the blood killing sect must continue to complete the mission.
