Chapter 944 Kill them all
After Master Gao finished speaking, Xu Chongfeng still had a shocked face, thinking that he still didn't believe it, and said: "It's absolutely true. My brother-in-law said that he was so angry that he couldn't even wait for dawn, so he immediately sent people to surround him. The First Princes Mansion.
Took Xu Chongfeng's sleeves again and asked: "Do you know who was killed with a stick in the palace last night?"
Who, who? Xu Chongfeng was most afraid that he would die in the capital, and his voice was shaking when he asked this question.
Gao Daren said: "She is the eldest prince's biological mother, Concubine Mei."
What! Xu Chongfeng rolled his eyes and almost fainted from fright.
Mr. Gao hurriedly supported him and frowned: "Brother Xu, are you feeling unwell?"
Xu Chongfeng nodded and said, "Well, I've been too tired these past few days and got caught in the rain, so I'm not feeling well."
You cant say that you were so frightened that the emperor beat Concubine Mei to death that you rolled your eyes, right?
He grabbed Master Gao's hand again and said, "Brother Gao, is Mei Fei really dead?"
Mei Fei's background was not good, she was just the daughter of a minor official in Zhongzhou, but she gave birth to the eldest prince and was still a concubine. It would be terrible to be killed with a stick like this.
Master Gao nodded: "Can I still lie to you? If it hadn't been for something big, my brother-in-law wouldn't have sent news before dawn... Be careful these days, a bunch of people are bound to die again."
Xu Chongfeng nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, Brother Gao, for reminding me."
He asked again: "Brother Gao, do you know why he killed someone?"
Master Gao smiled and reminded him: "Brother Xu, you can't ask about this matter, and I don't know either."
After saying that, he ignored Xu Chongfeng and returned to the small courtyard next door to work.
Xu Chongfeng was in panic for a day and a night, and many things happened during this day and night. Not only was the eldest prince's residence besieged, but the Mei family's residence in the capital was also besieged.
The eldest princes in-laws family and the natal families of the two concubines were also besieged. Even the natal families of all the eldest princes concubines who gave birth to children were also besieged.
One of these concubines natal family is from the Bao family.
The Bao family is the aunt's family of the second young master Li. It is the Bao family's aunt that leads Mr. Li to the eldest prince.
As for the ancestral home of Young Master Li Er, it was not besieged because it was not in the capital.
Besieged is just the beginning.
The next day, new orders came down, and the Fuhu Army began to kill people. Except for the eldest prince's in-laws, all other women's natal families were killed.
Throughout the day, anyone passing by those mansions could hear screams and the strong smell of blood.
When Xu Chongfeng learned about this, he fainted with fright. After waking up, he kept trembling and kept saying: "Kill them all, kill them all."
They all were killed!
Its so scary. Is it too late for him to resign now?
However, he had no time to resign. Ming Shaoqing and Jiang Sheng came back and gave him a new order: "This is a case involving the eldest prince's concubines. There is no need to investigate. You can just go through the motions."
"Let's go through the motions?" Xu Chongfeng looked at the pile of case files on the table and said, "No, won't you check it?"
Ming Shaoqing's eyes turned cold, and his narrow red phoenix eyes pierced Xu Chongfeng like sharp knives. His voice was as cold as frost: "I don't want to live anymore, I can help you."
Think he has time to joke with him?
This is the person the emperor wants to kill, and the reasons are well-founded. If they just do it, can they also reverse the case for the concubines' natal families?
Xu Chongfeng was so frightened that he knelt down with a plop: "I don't dare to lower my rank."
Hmm, he no longer wants to be an official, he wants to go home and farm.
Jiang Sheng simply didn't see it and pulled him up and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Ming, Mr. Xu will do it." Ming Shaoqing knew that Xu Chongfeng was timid and didn't want to scare him to death. He put away his cold face and said, "You will do it if you do it." Its okay. Also, the door has been closed recently. Dont let anyone else go out except for shopping, and dont take in well-intentioned people. If you make the mistake of taking in someone, your whole family will die.
Ming Shaoqing was very good to Xu Chongfeng, so he reminded him.
"Yes, yes, I would like to thank you, sir." Xu Chongfeng responded tremblingly, as if he was shaking a sieve with fear.
Ming Shaoqing had no time to pay attention to Xu Chongfeng. After finishing speaking, he immediately left with the prison guards from Dali Temple.
Xu Chongfeng knew that Ming Shaoqing must have gone to arrest or kill someone, so he was so frightened that he shook even more.
With a snap, Jiang Sheng put a palm on Xu Chongfeng's shoulder and smiled at him: "Sir, why are you shaking? If you are afraid, just remember that these are all merits and can get you promoted."
Are you very happy just thinking about it?
Xu Chongfeng was about to cry. He grabbed Jiang Sheng's hand and said, "Uncle, can I resign? The capital is too scary."
Jiang Sheng shook his head: "The capital will be the safest place in the future. If you resign and return to your hometown, your whole family may die."
Old man, you are so evil-hearted that you cursed my whole family! Xu Chongfeng was very angry. He regarded him as his biological father, but he actually said that his whole family would die.
Jiang Sheng glanced at him with disgust and said, "Think about it with your brain. I am doing this for your family's good."
There are some things that cannot be said clearly, Jiang Sheng could only remind him this way.
Xu Chongfeng was not an idiot. After thinking for a long time, he finally understood... Jiang Sheng, the old man, was hinting to him that Da Chu would not be peaceful in the future.
With the emperor's method of killing, it would be difficult for Da Chu to achieve peace.
And if the Chu State is not at peace, it will definitely cause a military disaster. This military disaster may last for a long time, starting from ten years. It is indeed much better to stay in the capital than to stay outside.
After Xu Chongfeng figured it out, he went to ask Jiang Sheng: "Do you still want to take the scientific examination for virtue?"
Jiang Sheng looked at him as if he were a fool: "Of course there is a scientific examination."
Xu Chongfeng: "But, didn't you always say..."
Jiang Sheng smiled: "I don't know how long it will take for that to happen, and no matter how much it changes, it won't have anything to do with Brother Xian taking the imperial examination. At worst, he will take the exam again after the change."
Xu Chongfeng looked at Jiang Sheng in shock: "Can it still be like this?"
Jiang Sheng nodded: "Of course."
It's not like dynasty changes have never happened. Not all famous officials who spanned two dynasties were like this. After passing the exam in the previous dynasty, they took the exam again when the new dynasty was first established. After passing the exam, they entered the new dynasty as officials.
After hearing this, Xu Chongfeng looked at Jiang Sheng, took a step back, and said in fear and awe: "You are always a god."
In his eyes, any major event is as insignificant as a chicken feather. Even in the underworld, he can make a living.
Im convinced, I dont dare to mess with you. Ill tell the housekeeper when I get back tonight to double the amount for the old mans yard!
Jiang Sheng saw that Xu Chongfeng had calmed down, so he grabbed him and said, "Stop grinding and work quickly."
The eldest prince had many concubines, and several of them gave birth to children. It took Xu Chongfeng and the others three days of work to finish.
By the time they finished their work, the eldest princes in-laws were also convicted, all the men were killed, and the women were sent to a Taoist temple for purification.
As for the eldest prince, the emperor actually wanted to kill him, but the ministers disagreed, saying that even if the eldest prince wanted to rebel, the emperor could not kill his own son, which was against human ethics.
In the eyes of the emperor, human relations are not as important as the throne.
The eldest prince used his in-laws' family and his concubine's maiden's family to establish arrangements in various mansions in Da Chu. The idea of seizing his throne completely angered him.
The Emperor of Chu was like a tiger whose tail had been stepped on. He turned his head and bit his own son to death!
