Empress, you don't want to be thrown into limbo by your father, do you?

It took an hour for the Huangcheng Secretary to finally liquidate what was found in the Xiao's mansion during the confiscation of the house.

"Your Highness, I have already counted the amount of silver and gold in Xiao's residence. There are also some calligraphy and painting antiques that are of great value. I dare not make a private decision. Your Highness is welcome to take a look."

Someone handed over the account book to Li Changshou, and casually flipped through a few pages, shocking.

Li Changshou couldn't help but sneer, "A mere commander of the forbidden army, from an official to the third rank, can actually search for so many people's fat and people's anointing. Even if he is not a traitor and a traitor, he should die!"

The people around did not dare to say a word, in fact, those officials and gentlemen in the court, who didn't search for the people's fat and anointment?
It's just that what Huangcheng Division counted out this time is indeed exaggerated.

"Your Highness, what should I do with these things?"

Gu Fan asked respectfully from the side. According to the usual practice, the gold, silver and jewelry obtained by ransacking the family and exterminating the clan must be handed over to the imperial court.

Why?

Poor fat!
How much is stolen and how much is handed in is the final decision of the person in charge of the search, which has already become a common practice.

Even the emperor himself knew it well, and kept his eyes open and closed.

"How does Deputy Envoy Gu think it should be handled properly?"

Li Changshou smiled and asked back, this time he was ordered to confiscate the house, and with his identity, he was able to take all the property that the Xiao Mansion confiscated into his pocket.

You only need to come up with some exchanges symbolically.

And the people in the Imperial City Division can more or less earn some money.

Gu Fan was a little hesitant when he heard the words. Although he was upright, it didn't mean he was pedantic and inflexible, especially now that all the confidantes that Li Changshou had let him pick up were left behind, and he could also see the expectation in the eyes of these people.

I can only bite the bullet and say: "According to the usual practice, these need to be handed in, but..."

He is not greedy for money, otherwise, when he was just an ordinary commander of the Imperial City Division, he would be able to search for the people's fat and people's anointing.

Just because he doesn't like it doesn't mean others don't like it.

"Okay, I know what the rules are. I counted [-] of them and gave them one point to my brothers. I counted another [-] and brought them back to the Imperial City Division as a treasury for my brothers to go on business in the future."

Li Changshou gave an answer with a smile. Gu Fan couldn't believe it when he heard the words, but the group of people present at the Imperial City Division were so surprised that they were dumbfounded!

They just wanted a sip of soup, but His Royal Highness King Shou asked them to eat meat directly?

Or eat it with big mouthfuls?

Who doesn't like this kind of boss?

In just a split second, the loyalty of the group of people to Li Changshou was greatly increased again.

After copying the Xiao Mansion, almost 50 guan of money, Li Changshou gave 15 guan of it to the people of the Imperial City Department, and the remaining 35 guan, he directly sent 30 guan to Shouwang Mansion, and the last [-] guan Take it to the business.

In addition, Li Changshou randomly selected some interesting calligraphy and painting antiques and sent them to Shou Wang's mansion, and the leftovers were used for business.

Once they ransacked the house, Li Changshou copied a lot of money, and a group of people from the Imperial City Department were also beaming with joy.

Even though Gu Fan didn't love money very much, he didn't object in the end.

……

"Your Highness, what are you?!"

After copying Xiao's mansion, Li Changshou directly handed out [-] guan to Gu Fan, who hesitated to take it immediately.

"I'll take it for you. Lingtang is not in good health. Although your house is not dilapidated, it is not suitable for recuperating. Go buy a house and add some maids."

Gu Fan couldn't refuse Li Changshou's unquestionable attitude.

And when I think of my mother's hard work in raising him all these years, I really feel guilty. In the end, I can only accept the bank note with a wry smile, and bow to Li Changshou deeply, "Your Highness's great kindness to the humble family. It's hard to pay off the humiliation in my life."

"Then pay it back slowly, don't be in a hurry."

The smile on Li Changshou's face was a bit deep. Some favors really had to be repaid, but they were actually easy to repay, depending on whether someone was really willing.

He patted Gu Fan on the shoulder, ransacking the house was only the first step, Xiao Pang's involvement in mutiny and rebellion had just begun.

Countless people in the entire capital are trembling at this moment.

In the northern suburbs of the capital, outside the Forbidden Army camp.

Li Changshou led people to look directly at the entire camp. The news had already been sent back, and everyone in the current imperial camp was in danger.

Many generals who were single-handedly pulled out by Xiao Pang were ashamed, and no one knew what the result would be waiting for them.

"My father will never rebel!"

As soon as I entered the camp, I heard someone roaring over there.

Looking up, the corners of Li Changshou's mouth rose slightly, and then he looked towards Gu Fan beside him.

"Vice Envoy Gu, go and take this person down!"

Hearing this, Gu Fan immediately stepped forward and made a very decisive move. With one move, he grabbed a young man who was confronting Huangcheng Secretary, and then pinned him to the ground.

"Presumptuous! Bold! I am the Major General of the Forbidden Army! My father is the Commander of the Forbidden Army! How dare you treat me like this?"

The generals of the forbidden army around couldn't bear it, but no one dared to come forward to intercede. After all, Xiao Pang had already been executed, and now they were all thinking about how to protect themselves.

"Young general, don't resist, the general is dead!"

"Yeah, stop making unnecessary struggles."

Not only did no one plead for mercy, but they also persisted in persuasion. It was the generals of the imperial army who wanted to subdue the young man just now, which forced the young man to stand up and resist.

Why?

It's very simple, they want to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds to see if they can save their lives.

"Damn! You bunch of wolves, it's in vain that my father treats you so well on weekdays, and now you actually join forces with outsiders..."

The young man is the son of Xiao Pang and Fang Rou, Xiao Yan, the son of the Xiao Mansion, but now he is pinned down on the ground by Gu Fan, and he is swearing at him.

But before he finished cursing, Li Changshou went up and kicked him in the heart, spitting blood from his whole mouth and dying.

This young genius who enjoyed a great reputation in the Forbidden Army, the Tianjiao who was expected to hit the eighth-rank master at the young age of 16, is now like a dead dog, with only one breath left.

"Bring it back!"

Li Changshou glanced coldly, he was not at all merciful, Xiao Pang deserved to die, this Xiao Yan was kept by Xiao Pang's son, and it was a disaster, it was impossible to keep his life.

Waiting for the people from the Imperial City Division to drag them away, Li Changshou looked at the rest of the Forbidden Army and said coldly: "From now on, the Imperial City Division will be under the temporary control of the Imperial City Division. Anyone who dares to resist will be punished as treason!"

In the huge Forbidden Army camp, no one dared to make a sound.

They knew Li Changshou's identity and heard rumors from the outside world.

"Bring all the people promoted by the traitor Xiao Pang in the past few years back to the Imperial City Division for interrogation!"

……

Mutiny and rebellion have been accompanied by bloody winds since ancient times, and it is the best opportunity to eradicate dissidents and murder political enemies.

Li Changshou has fully carried forward this fine tradition that has existed since ancient times.

Starting from the raiding of the house, Xiao's mansion was visited, the Forbidden Army camp was visited, and then for a whole day, including many ministers in the court who had friendship with Xiao Pang, were all patronized by the Imperial City Secretary.

Of course, those ministers were only taken away for interrogation, not to the point of ransacking their families.

But such an action did make the entire capital tremble with trepidation.

Some people couldn't help but want to enter the palace to face the saint, but now Emperor Qianming is not seeing anyone, and sent several officials who sued the imperial court to the prison.

Many ministers took a bad look and turned to the prince to discuss it.

However, on the side of the Prince's Mansion.

"Not seen, not seen!"

The prince Li Cheng was walking back and forth irritably, but the housekeeper had no choice but to block all the people from the door.

More than one person has come today, but none of the princes have been seen.

Now that he can't protect himself, is he still in the mood to protect others?
"If the sixth brother gains power this time, he will definitely not have good fruit for me. What should I do?"

The prince is in a hurry, he doesn't believe that Li Changshou has no ambitions at all, but he has no choice now, and once again regrets the knife on Sezi's head, why did he hook up with Concubine Li in private?
If not, why should he be controlled by others everywhere?

And the prince's side closed the door to see no visitors, which also made those civil and military ministers who were originally favored by the late queen and supported the prince feel a lot of chills.

The faction belonging to the prince's party has faintly begun to appear cracks.

Li Changshou wanted this kind of effect. He could use force to forcibly ascend the throne as the emperor, but [Fate Simulator] proved that the result of a martial artist's superiority may not be so good. He can't kill everyone and be a loner, right? ?
Then there must be the support of the officials, and he is not interested in managing the government, but wants to be a comfortable hands-off shopkeeper.

The prince is not stupid, he was in panic for a long time in the mansion, and finally left the prince's mansion in the dark and went straight to the Imperial City Secretary after the sky darkened.

He must ask for proof, even if he dies, he must die to understand, not to be confused.

However, what I saw when I came to the Imperial City Division was that it was heavily guarded!

After finally revealing his identity, he was ushered in. All he saw along the way were all the ministers, big and small, who had been captured by the Imperial City Division, from the six ministers to the captain of the city defense army. No more.

When those people saw the prince, they all showed pleading eyes, but the prince dared not look at them, so he could only avoid it and hurried in with his head down.

"His Royal Highness is interrogating the prisoner. If you have anything to say, I can convey it for you."

Gu Fan looked at the prince, his face remained unchanged and he didn't give any face. It wasn't because he was evading, but Li Changshou was indeed interrogating alone and didn't have time to see the prince.

"Then, the solitary will come again another day..."

The prince couldn't see anyone, so he could only leave in despair.

It's just that this departure fell into the eyes of civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and he was a little disappointed. Is such a cowardly and incompetent prince really the master they chose?

And the other side.

Li Changshou was indeed severely interrogating the prisoners.

And I told you not to disturb him even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu came.

……

In the imperial envoy's room, Li Changshou looked at the woman in front of him with great interest.

I have to say that the years are really unfair, not leaving too many marks on the woman in front of me at all.

They are all in their thirties, and they actually look like a woman in her twenties, with a bit more mature charm.

The point is, if you take a closer look, you are really similar to his mother and concubine. It's not the similarity in appearance, but the occasional demeanor, or the profile of a certain moment.

"I don't know how madam thinks?"

For interrogation, it is not necessary to use a iron tiger bench, but other methods can also be used.

The corners of Li Changshou's mouth turned up. He was curious about how strong Fang Rou's desire to survive was, and how much he was willing to pay for his life?

"Your Highness, as long as I let this concubine live, I will agree to any conditions!"

Fang Rou was indeed not stupid. After being brought back to the Imperial City Division, she was not imprisoned, but placed under house arrest. When Li Changshou returned to the Imperial City Division, she begged immediately.

"Oh? Are you really willing to do anything?"

A smart woman, but not enough.

Li Changshou raised his eyebrows, stepped forward and grabbed the woman's chin, looked at it carefully, without concealing his inner thoughts at all, while Fang Rou was still trembling when he realized something consciously during these few hours .

She still couldn't believe that Li Changshou would fall in love with her?
"Concubine, I am willing to..."

Survival is a human instinct, Fang Rou doesn't want to die, compared to ransacking the family and beheading at the Meridian Gate, what other grievances are nothing?
"Okay, Gu will take a good look at whether Madam really wants to understand, and see if your sincerity can impress Gu!"

Fang Rou's eyes were full of humiliation and pain, two drops of clear tears slipped down the corners of her eyes, and finally she gritted her silver teeth and bowed her head in order to survive.

In front of Li Changshou, he bowed his head and proclaimed himself a minister.
