"Elder Gege, I can't tell you, I still have something important to tell the emperor, so I won't accompany you."

Yue Yun's tone was stiff and cold, and he didn't hide his emotions.

Among the many officials such as Pang Yukun who followed Xiao Ming to fight the world, civil officials were still able to maintain a minimum of harmony with Ge Yiren on the surface, but generals like Yue Yun did not buy Ge Yiren's account at all.

Ge Yiren showed an embarrassed look, this is why he wanted to speak for Luo Hong in the first place, the army of the empire is in the hands of Yue Yun and these people, even if these civil officials are loud in the court, what can they do?

"Then don't bother." Ge Yiren smiled and let the groom continue towards his mansion.

Yue Yun glanced at the carriage in the distance, and continued to walk towards the palace with the Cao family's father and son.

At this time, the atmosphere on Ge Yiren's carriage dropped to freezing.

"What, are you sure those two are the father and son of the Cao family!" Ge Yiren exclaimed.

"You can't be wrong, I saw Cao Kun in the south back then, and I saw the scar on the back of his hand, and the location is exactly the same as the man just now." Ren He said firmly.

Ge Yiren nodded slightly, "No wonder Yue Yun wants to personally escort these two people, this is a great achievement." “

After saying this, he suddenly remembered something, and asked in a solemn voice: "You said that you have seen Cao Kun, do you have anything to do with him?" “

"Brother Ge is so careful, when Cao Kun was in Suzhou City, there were many people who saw him." Ren He explained: "Besides, if I have anything to do with him, I haven't escaped from the empire long ago, and what are I doing here." ”

Ge Yiren's expression softened, although he was dissatisfied with Xiao Ming's suppression of the nobles, he was also extremely disgusted with the Merchant Council, because the Merchant Council also wanted to take away their rights.

Seeing that Ge Yiren no longer asked, Ren He exhaled lightly, but a strong worry flashed in his eyes.

He deceived Ge Yiren, and the purpose of his coming to Qingzhou this time was to disrupt the empire, but he didn't expect Cao Kun to be caught so quickly.

As a member of the Merchant Council, he certainly remembered that Cao Kun had a roster in his hands, and it was this roster that forced him to risk being killed to come to the imperial capital.

In order to adapt to the current situation when the merchant council was raging in the south, the people who joined the merchant council signed their names and fingerprints on this list, and this list also showed the oath they took to overthrow Xiao Ming's rule when they joined the council.

If this roster falls into the hands of the Empire, the fate of these people can be imagined.

As if to have seized on this weakness in their psyche, Cao Kun remained haunted after the defeat of the merchant council, threatening to send the page they signed to the government if they disobeyed.

And this completely cut off their retreat, and they could only continue to fulfill the oath they had made in the Parliament.

Thinking of this, Ren He's face became more and more ugly, and now all kinds of thoughts crossed his mind, but in the end, there was only one clear and clear thought, that is-escape!

……

The Imperial Study.

After Xiao Ming received the eunuch's report, he summoned Yue Yun.

Before Yue Yun arrived in Qingzhou, Lei Ming had already sent the battle report of Calcutta to him.

At the same time, the war report also mentioned the matter of the Cao family's father and son.

This time Yue Yun came in person, and he estimated in his heart that the Cao family's father and son had probably been captured.

Sure enough, as soon as Yue Yun entered the imperial study, he saluted and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the father and son of the Cao family have been captured by the lower officials, and they have also obtained a roster from Cao Kun. ”

"Bring it in."

Xiao Ming's expression became serious, Wang Xuan had already told him about the roster,

When Yue Yun heard this, he handed the roster to Xiao Ming, and he waited on the side to listen to the instructions.

After taking the roster, Xiao Ming flipped through it, and one name after another came into his eyes, making him feel more and more chilled the more he looked at it.

The roster, which was three fingers wide and blue-skinned, contained twenty people on each page, and more than 4,000 people on more than 200 pages, some of whom had been crossed out, men who had died during the Civil War.

But even so, there are still nearly 2,000 people above who do not have a cross number, and no one knows what role these people play in the empire today.

"Does anyone else know about this?" Xiao Ming asked.

"No, the last general personally escorted the two of them here, and did not disclose the news to anyone on the way."

Xiao Ming nodded, then he picked up the phone and dialed it, and soon Li San's voice appeared in the microphone.

"Come to the Imperial Study immediately, I have something important for you to deal with." After that, Xiao Ming hung up the phone.

Yue Yun was a little envious, when he was in Nanyang, he heard that the Empire's Telecommunications Department had invented the telephone, and he hadn't had time to experience it after he came back.

Now the emperor himself demonstrated it, which shocked him greatly.

The two waited for a while, and Li San hurried over.

Xiao Ming handed over the roster to him at this time, "You immediately find out where these people are and what they are doing now, and arrest them as soon as you have accurate information." ”

Li San just glanced at the names on the roster and knew that this was something from the Merchant Council, he glanced at Yue Yun and said, "Cao Kun has been caught?"

"Yes, I've put them in prison, and it's time for me to clean up the civil strife once you've done your job." Xiao Ming said.

Li San nodded, he knew the seriousness of this matter, and during this time, there were constantly people secretly instigating the contradictions of the empire.

After their investigation, it was revealed that among these people were the remnants of the Merchant's Council, and for this reason, they had been waiting for the time to catch them all.

"Xiaguan is going to do it." He was still flipping through the roster as he spoke, when suddenly one of the names stopped his hand.

He put the roster next to Xiao Ming and said: "Your Majesty, there is also a person named Ren He in Ge Ge Lao's mansion, who used to be a great Confucian in the south. ”

Xiao Ming looked at Ren He's name, his eyes narrowed, "These little ones are really bold and reckless, and they are actually lurking beside the cabinet ministers. ”

Yue Yun hesitated for a moment, and he said, "Your Majesty, flies don't bite seamless eggs, and I'm afraid this Ge Yiren is not good at stubble." ”

"It's really not a good stubble, since he hit the muzzle of the gun, don't blame me." Xiao Ming said coldly.

Now that the war in the South Seas has finally come to fruition, he can now turn his focus to the interior of the Empire.

Since he promulgated the policy of commoner aristocracy, different voices in the empire have been rampant, and this is naturally secretly fueled by others.

However, at the beginning, he chose to connive, the purpose was to see which people couldn't bear it, and which people took the opportunity to bewitch the public.

As the saying goes, don't look at dancing happily now, be careful to pull the list in the future, so far, Li San has mastered the information of many people.

Now with this roster, the time has come to make an example.
