The audience was silent, so quiet that they could hear the needle, and everyone looked at the prince nervously.

Wang Gonggong smiled coldly: "Assassination of Qincha, since the establishment of our Great Jin Dynasty, there have not been a few times such a bold and reckless thing, how can the imperial court ignore this kind of rebellion case? ”

Gao Quan's face was pale, and he didn't look back, but he knew that there were a few officials below who were probably already as pale as earth.

"Assassinating Qin Cha is tantamount to conspiring against him! According to the law of the Great Jin Dynasty, the three clans must be wiped out!" Wang Gonggong's voice was sharp and thin, which made Gao Quan's eardrum hurt, and he subconsciously asked: "Father-in-law, why didn't you inform me of the assassination of Shifu?"

"Joke! When will the internal guard inform others of the case?!" Wang Gonggong looked arrogant, glanced at the officials present, and suddenly shouted: "Come on! Take down Chen Guojun Cheng Chai Sen, the thief Cao Durang under the county government, Shi Shou of Tuoxian County, Chen County Commander Riding Festival, and Chen Guojun soldier Cao Peng Han Zhang!"

Before the officials whose names were called could speak, the Tiger Guard soldiers quickly came in, knocked down several officials, and rudely knocked off their hats.

"Wait!" Gao Quan was furious, stopped the tiger guards, and clasped his fists at the prince: "Father-in-law! Although the internal guards have the right to enforce the law, this case is of great importance! My father-in-law is also actively investigating in Yanzhou! My father-in-law has suddenly arrested so many officials, and Gao Mougong is the assassin of Yanzhou, and he must be responsible to the imperial court and the emperor! He must be responsible to the people of the whole state! Father-in-law, since he has arrested people, the internal guards will naturally find evidence, and they also ask his father-in-law to show evidence to protect the hearts of the people of the state! Let the people of the world be convinced!"

"Of course there is evidence!" Wang Gonggong looked at Gao Quan with a smile: "Lord Gao, when will there be no evidence for my internal security work!

"Wronged, wronged, wronged!"

"Pengzhu! You traitor! Hoodwink the emperor!

"Pengzhu! You traitor! Fool the emperor! You can't die well!"

Peng Zhu was cold, his expression remained unchanged at all, Gao Quan's expression was still a little angry, but in the face of the strength of the prince, there was a sense of powerlessness.

Several officials were pulled out, and they were put in a flail outside the door, which is extraordinary, the Great Jin Dynasty heavy soldiers, scholars and officials committed crimes, and they were not allowed to put on any torture instruments before they were convicted, which was clearly stipulated in the Great Jin Law, but these officials were put in the flail at the gate, which can only show one thing, the crime of these officials has been convicted.

However, the officials below can finally breathe a sigh of relief, after these people are taken, the rest should be fine, this thought just came up, and before he had time to think about it, the prince spoke again, but this time it was against Gao Quan.

"Gao Thorn History, the internal guards have intelligence to prove that there are people in the Thorn History Mansion who are colluding with anti-thieves, you have to investigate carefully when you go back!

Gao Quan was stunned at first when he heard this, and then hung up a black line on his face, he stared at the prince-in-law, cold sweat flowed on his back, and he protested: "The official has not received such a report, if the internal guard has information, please let the father-in-law tell me clearly!"

The prince looked at him, Gao Quan did not show weakness, stared at him with wide eyes, and after a long time, the prince laughed dryly twice: "Before coming, the emperor warned our family, saying that Yanzhou is intertwined up and down, and the whole body is involved, and now it seems that it is really true, Lord Gao, the assassin Shifu is good to investigate." ”

This was more polite, giving Gao Quan two points of face, Gao Quan's face was still sinking like water, his eyes flickered and worried, and the voice of the prince suddenly came up again: "Lord Peng was assassinated, who provided the news, who arranged it, the internal guards have already found out, today is just a net, adults, don't think that there are just a few people, and, just before our family came in, Hu Benwei and the county **** have been ordered to raid the Shi family!"

Gao Quan's face changed suddenly, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he almost blurted out, but the prince glared at him coldly and suppressed the words that came to his mouth.

"The assassination of the imperial court is headed by the Shi family's guest qing! The Shi family is so bold! This is a rebellion! It is a rebellion! It should be destroyed by the three clans!"

The prince roared, undisguised his murderous aura, the hall mountain, from Gao Quan down, was all frightened, Gao Quan didn't dare to open his mouth anymore, but he knew in his heart that the Shi family was finished.

Who sent the assassins, although no one knows, but the officials of Yanzhou Mansion and Chen Guojun below Gao Quan, know in their hearts that they can invite such a master of cultivation, except for the four major gates, others may not be able to do it, but whether all of the four families will shoot or a few of them, no one knows, therefore, the prince said that it was the Shi family, and no one thought much about it, and subconsciously accepted it.

But now the problem comes, the Shi family is plotting rebellion, this is a shocking case, according to the convention, once the Shi family is found guilty, not only the Shi family will be uprooted, but his protégés and former officials will also be uprooted.

Protégé and old officials, in this era, the scholars of the poor family, there is no way to advance, so they take refuge under the door of the gate valve family, become their disciples, or study under the sponsorship of the gate valve family, and then enter the office, or the students of a knowledgeable person in the door valve family, such as Liu Bei Gong Sun Zan in the Three Kingdoms in the previous life, studied under Lu Zhi, then they are Lu Zhi's protégés and former officials, Yuan Shao Yuan family, the fourth and third princes, recommended countless scholars to enter the office, these scholars are all protégés of the Yuan family.

According to the law of the Great Jin Dynasty, the family of the gate valve is convicted, according to the size of the crime, decide whether to pursue the protégé and the deceased, such a felony as rebellion, not only to implicate the three clans of the gate valve family, but also to investigate the protégé and the former official, therefore, the protégé of the stone valve must be investigated, even if it is not full of military distribution, it will be relieved of his position and go home.

Gao Quan broke out in a cold sweat, and couldn't help but shout loudly: "Father-in-law is cautious!"

Wang Gonggong was very surprised, he didn't expect Gao Quan to still insist on resisting, he was stunned for a moment, and said coldly: "What does Master Gao have to say!"

"The father-in-law said that the Shi family rebelled, and the Shi family Keqing was one of the assassins who assassinated Lord Peng, and this case has not yet been investigated, so the father-in-law cannot judge this!"

Wang Gonggong stared at Gao Quan in a daze, and only after a long time did he smile sadly, and said: "What Lord Gao said is that I have ordered Hu Benwei to go to the Shi family to get people, if the Shi family hands over the thief, you can also say, if not, hum, Lord Gao, then you can't complain about our family!"

Just when the county guard hall was heavily fortified, in the east of Chen County, Hu Benwei and the county ** soldiers rushed into a huge mansion, but the house was empty, only a few old servants and servants, looking at the fierce soldiers in panic.

The Tiger Benwei officer looked cold, looked at the empty courtyard and sneered, waved his hand and ordered, the soldiers rushed into the courtyards, and searched through the boxes and cabinets.

More than ten miles in the east of the city, Liuhu Lakeside, along the lake green willows into the shade, the residual lotus on the lake is everywhere, the sail shadow is heavy in the distance, the gulls and herons chase and play, in the green shadows, the red bricks and green tiles are faintly visible, if on weekdays, here must be the place where the literati and ink writers linger and forget to return, and it must also be the good place for scholars to cultivate Xuanxiu, but today, the wild ducks that often fly high escape, and the gulls and herons panic into the remaining reeds.

A large group of soldiers is besieging this picturesque manor, killing inside and outside the manor, hundreds of soldiers are attacking the manor, in the manor, in the lobby, a middle-aged man in white is anxiously persuading an old man with white hair, the old man's expression is endless, unmoved.

Although the private soldiers left behind were heroic, they were still powerless to resist in the face of the strong Tiger Benwei, and they were soon defeated, the Tiger Benwei broke in, and the slaughter unfolded in all corners, several Tiger Benwei officers walked up to the lobby and stood in front of the white-bearded old man, who sneered on his face.

Chen Guojun's thousand-year-old family Shi family was "wiped out" in one fell swoop, this move immediately shocked the government and the opposition, inside and outside the government and the opposition, the discussion was endless, among the scholars, the attack on Pengzhu was endless, and the impeachment of the imperial history flew to Shangshutai like snowflakes, and Shangshutai was left in the middle.

Copying and destroying the Shi family, bringing greater problems, the Shi family's protégés and former officials are numerous, all over the place, according to the law of the Great Jin Dynasty, these protégés and former officials are either all arrested, or all vacancies, Shangshutai officials Cao is busy sorting out the list from the archives these days, but the senior officials of Shangshutai are worried.

Pan Lian took the note reported by Chen Guojun, couldn't help but sigh, looked up and looked around, and the auxiliary ministers looked at him silently.

"Everyone, let's see, how to play the emperor. ”

"What else can I say, play it as it is. Zuo Chen's expression was intertwined with various emotions, he had dealings with the Shi family, but in recent years, he was very dissatisfied with the Shi family, he was a hardcore prince, and the Shi family was the Qi Wang faction, since then he has no contact, and even became an enemy, but the demise of the Shi family still makes him feel complicated.

"If you play it truthfully, you have to play it truthfully, but the Shi family still has such a protégé, how to deal with it?" Pan Lian asked with a sigh.

The protégés and former officials of the Shi family are all over the Great Jin Dynasty, large and small, not hundreds, but dozens, and more importantly, is this a vacancy or arrest into Beijing?

"These., Pu Jin, the minister of Zhongshan, Bo Liangshan, the lord of Ganling in Jizhou, and Fu Slack of Ningling County in Jingzhou, and. Prime Minister Gan Tang counted with his fingers, these are all officials above the fifth grade of the imperial court, this is only local, not counting the imperial court.

"Protect everything you can. Qiu Yun sighed, Pan Ji frowned slightly, but did not speak, Pan Lian nodded: "Okay, so be it." ”

Among the five auxiliary ministers, I am afraid that the happiest is Pan Lian, the Shi family is the Qi Wang faction, this time the matter involves rebellion, according to the law to exterminate the clan, even if the emperor is gracious, only the Shi family is destroyed, and the people who can be implicated will not be able to enter and exit the Shi for at least five years, so that the Qi Wang faction will be hit hard.

Secondly, this time Pengzhu rushed to the front, annoying the gate valve family and the Shilin people, and his reputation was bound to decline, which was very beneficial to him.

The prince's faction is only roughly divided, but it has to be divided under it, taking the prince's faction as an example, Pan Chain represents the selection of the first emperor, and Zuochen Pengzhu is the prince's original subordinate, which is regarded as a minister from the dragon, a friend of trouble.

After the death of King Qi, the forces that originally belonged to the faction of King Qi dispersed, and the courtiers faced a new choice, so the first emperor faction and the original prince's mansion faction were the objects they had to choose.

The original prince's mansion faction was headed by Zuo Chen, but Zuo Chen was a tall man and would not pay attention to those people, and the rest was Pengzhu, Pengzhu was young, talented, and had a good reputation in Shilin, and more importantly, the emperor trusted him very much, and Pan Lian also regarded it as the biggest threat.

There is another object that has been attacked as well as Pengzhu, and that is the internal guard.
