Chapter 69 Searching Prince Xiaoyao’s Mansion

Zhou Chen's words shocked the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian, and his expression couldn't help but change.

What is Dongchang?

They were a group of hawks and dogs that raided homes and exterminated families, killing people without batting an eyelid.

After these days of fermentation, Dongchang's evil reputation has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Wherever Dongchang goes, it means either homes are being ransacked or people are dead.

If people from Dongchang were allowed to deal with the problem of members of the royal family, the members of the royal family would definitely be massacred with blood.

As a sword in the hand of the emperor, Dongchang would not care about the identity of a member of the royal family.

The Eighth Sage King Zhou Xian immediately said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. As the head of the clan's mansion, I will definitely handle the affairs within my scope."

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian knew that Zhou Chen was warning him.

If his clan's palace cannot handle the internal affairs of the royal family, then Zhou Chen will hand it over to outsiders and let Dongchang handle it.

This is not what Zhou Xian, the Eight Wise King, wants to see.

Therefore, the Eighth Sage King Zhou Xian had to quickly express his attitude that his clan had the ability to handle internal affairs on its own.

Zhou Chen heard this and nodded; "That's good."

"As for King Xiaoyao, I will leave it to the eighth uncle's clan to handle."

"Uncle Eighth Emperor, as the head of the Clan's Mansion, is wise, and there is nothing wrong with treating others leniently."

"But sometimes, iron-blooded means are also needed."

"People in the royal family should clean up what they should clean up. Don't end up ruining a good pot of soup because of a few mouse droppings."

Zhou Chen looked at the Eight Wise King Zhou Xian and said calmly.

If it was not a last resort, Zhou Chen would not want to break the rules and let Dongchang clean up the insiders in the royal family.

After all, royalty is always royalty.

Even if they no longer deal with each other, the same blood is flowing in their bodies.

If you break the rules rashly and let outsiders clean it up, it will be a disgrace to the royal family and the emperor Zhou Chen.

But if the clan mansion of the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian cannot satisfy Zhou Chen, then Zhou Chen will have no choice but to break the rules and let Dongchang take action.

When the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian heard Zhou Chen's words, he felt a little bitter in his heart.

This is because Zhou Chen wants him, the Eight Wise King, to become this evil person!

However, as a minister, there is nothing wrong with sharing your worries for the king.

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian nodded; "Yes, Your Majesty."

The meaning of Zhou Chen's words is so obvious, how could Zhou Xian, the Eight Wise King, not hear it!

If you want to be a bad person, just be a bad person!

It's better than being dead.

"Your Majesty, King Xiaoyao has been sent by your Majesty to the Four Prefectures in the Northwest to help the Grand Master in disaster relief. This matter..." Zhou Xian, the Eighth Sage King, looked at Zhou Chen on the dragon throne as if questioning.

Previously, King Xiaoyao Zhou Qian and King Kang Zhou Qi were both sent by Zhou Chen to assist Grand Master Wen Zhong in going to the four northwest prefectures to provide disaster relief and quell civil unrest.

King Xiaoyao did not come back, so regarding the matter of King Xiaoyao, the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian had to listen to what the emperor Zhou Chen meant.

If the emperor Zhou Chen wants to arrest King Xiaoyao immediately, then the Eight Sages King Zhou Xiande Lima will send people to the four northwest prefectures.

Zhou Chen pondered for a moment and said, "First, take down all the people related to King Xiaoyao."

"As for Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian, wait until he comes back from the four northwest prefectures before taking action."

For the sake of a free king Zhou Qian, it is not worth sending people from the Zongren Mansion to make another trip to the four northwest prefectures.

Besides, Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian was currently assisting Grand Master Wen Zhong in providing disaster relief and quelling civil unrest.

At this pass, it is not a good time to send people to capture King Xiaoyao in the four northwest prefectures.

It would be better to wait for King Xiaoyao to come back from the Four Prefectures in the northwest before taking action.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Then I will retire first."

With Zhou Chen's intention, the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian knew what to do.

He excused himself and left the Yangxin Hall.

After the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian left, Zhou Chen glanced at Cao Zhengchun next to him and said, "Send factory guards to keep an eye on the situation secretly to make sure nothing goes wrong."

"besides."

"Let the factory guards thoroughly investigate all the details of Xiaoyao Wang Zhou's hiding in Luoyang."

"Especially look at which ministers in the court have close relations with Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian, and which generals in the army have secret contacts with Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian."

"Everyone who has anything to do with Xiaoyao Wang Zhou Qian has been investigated by me."

Zhou Chen said calmly.

Zhou Chen knew that since Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian was the person behind Zhao Gao, he also wanted to reap the benefits and plotted everything.

Then Xiaoyao Wang Zhou Qian must have his own power.

Whether in the court or in the army, there must be someone secretly communicating with Xiaoyao Wang Zhou Qian.

And this force is not small.

The clan mansion of the Eight Sage King Zhou Xian only arrests King Xiaoyao and those in the royal family who are related to King Xiaoyao.

As for the other powerful people belonging to Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian, they have to be left to Dongchang to investigate.

"I obey the order." Cao Zhengchun's eyes flashed with light.

Originally, Cao Zhengchun thought that this matter had nothing to do with him.

After all, he is the son of the dragon and his grandson. According to the rules of the past dynasties, only the clan has the right to deal with members of the royal family.

Unexpectedly, this would require his Dongchang to step in.

It just so happened that his Dongchang had finished dealing with General Wu Jin's relatives and his party, and now he had more work to do.

…

Luoyang City has not been peaceful for a few days because of General Wu Jin's rebellion.

There was another turmoil.

I saw groups of clan guards rushing through the streets of Luoyang City.

When the people on the street saw it, their expressions changed and they quickly moved out of the way. They were guessing that something had happened, and the guards of the clan's mansion were actually dispatched.

You must know that the guards of the Zongren Mansion will not be dispatched easily under normal circumstances.

Only when a member of the royal family commits a heinous crime will the clan guards be dispatched to arrest him.

Under the curious eyes of many people, these guards of the clan's mansion crossed the street and surrounded the entire Prince Xiaoyao's mansion.

"What do you want to do?"

"This is the palace of Prince Xiaoyao."

"This is not a place for you to run wild."

Seeing that the guards of the clan's mansion rushed directly into Prince Xiaoyao's mansion, the housekeeper of Prince Xiaoyao's mansion immediately scolded angrily.

Although the clan's mansion has a special status, one cannot just rush into the palace and act wildly.

Especially the residence of King Xiaoyao.

It's not a place where anyone can be arrogant.

"Humph, under the order of the Palace Master, Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion was raided and everyone in Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion was thrown into the prison of the Zongren Mansion."

The leader of the clan guards snorted coldly and gave the order directly to start arresting people and raiding Prince Xiaoyao's mansion.

What?

Search Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion?

Are they all thrown into the clan prison?

Everyone in Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion was shocked when they heard the news.

Some can't believe this is true.

Princess Xiaoyao had an evil look on her face and angrily scolded the guards of the sect's mansion who were about to attack her: "How dare you, I am Princess Xiaoyao, how dare you touch me?"

"King Xiaoyao is the son of the late emperor. He is the fourth brother of the current emperor. Without an imperial decree, even the eighth uncle has no right to inspect my palace."

indeed.

Although the Zongren Mansion is in charge of the criminal law for members of the royal family, it can only take action with the emperor's will.

Otherwise, the clan government has no right to arrest people at will.

Everything is based on the supremacy of imperial power.

"Oh, this is the emperor's personal decree."

The clan guard sneered and waved his hand.

"Come here, arrest them all."

Princess Xiaoyao's expression changed and she shook her head in disbelief.

"No."

"This princess doesn't believe it."

"This princess wants to see the emperor."

"How could the emperor order an inspection of Prince Xiaoyao's palace?"
