Chapter 243 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey

Yunqi in Jinyi led the soldiers from the local guard station in Jixiang County and raided Magistrate Xie's house vigorously and violently.

First, they raided the house behind the county government office and made sure that everyone was under control. They guarded every exit including the dog cave. They did not neglect any of the masters or slaves. After letting any master or slave out, Li Shisuo led his men again.

The horse galloped to the Xie family's other courtyard - Xianmei Garden.

However, the results of the home searches in both places were not satisfactory.

The objects and money obtained were basically not of much value.

After that, the theft case of Xie's house came into Li Shisuo's sight.

Li Shisuo, originally named Li Si, was Li Gan's subordinate. He was originally the person left by Li Gan's mother.

Later, because of his outstanding strength, the child stood out in the stone lock lifting competition. He became the second most powerful man among the Jinyi Yunqi, second only to Li Gan, and was nicknamed Shisuo.

Later, only a few people called him by his real name.

Most people call him Li Shisuo, and he happily accepts it.

On this trip, Jinyi Yunqi received the package of things sent by the escort agency and launched an investigation.

As a result, it was discovered that these things in the hands of Magistrate Xie turned out to be evidence of collusion between the prince and the former ministers. Jinyi Yunqi had always been loyal only to the emperor, so naturally it was impossible for Magistrate Xie to cover up.

The emperor saw this package and Jinyi Yunqi's investigation results, and became furious.

However, "The leprosy-headed son is good for himself." Even if his own son did something wrong, it was because of the bad intentions of the people around them and their instigation!

After receiving the order, Yunqi in Jinyi set off from Kyoto, rushed on horseback, and rushed to Jixiang County, where he arrested Magistrate Xie who was still wondering who was plotting against him.

Xie County Magistrate's entire family, regardless of gender, age or child, were all exiled to Lingnan, where they were not pardoned.

Unintentionally involved in the battle for the heir, Magistrate Xie was deeply afraid that he would be reckoned with by the Queen, so he secretly made two preparations. However, he never expected that instead of saving his life, this thing would become a life-threatening talisman.

Magistrate Xie not only failed to achieve the merit of following the dragon, but became the chicken that killed the chicken to scare the monkeys. He felt so regretful that he vomited blood several times.

But even if he vomited all his blood, the outcome of this matter could not be changed.

Li Shisuo settled the matter here and took the time to go to "Daohuaxiang" - the reputation of this store has spread to Kyoto. Of course, it is the credit of Li Gan's mother's family.

Because Xia Daohua came to the door with a token given by Li Gan, so although Li Gan's mother clan also coveted this store, they regarded it as Li Gan's property.

They believed that Li Gan just pushed the Xia family to the front because of some need and used it as a cover to attract attention.

When Li Shisuo came to Jixiang County, he naturally wanted to bring Li Gan's letter and gifts to Xia Daohua.

Xia Daohua immediately learned from Li Shisuo some of Li Gan's situation after they returned to Kyoto.

After Li Gan returned, he was pulled out by the guards not long after he entered the palace to meet the saint. He was also punished to kneel at the palace gate because he failed to protect the noble, causing Gu Mingzhen and others to run around injured.

This punishment is not only very hard to endure, but also very humiliating.

Because the ministers coming and going, and even the officials and family members who came to the palace to see the Queen Mother, could see Li Gan kneeling there as a punishment from a distance.

In other words, Li Gan's stepmother could sit in a sedan chair, pass by Li Gan, and watch him swaying under the scorching sun, while still having to kneel as strong and straight as a bell.

This is really a great humiliation for a young man.

Many people even speculated that Li Gan, a rising star, had fallen out of favor?

Li Gan had already fallen out with his family a long time ago. His biological father has now completely sided with his stepmother. He is putting aside his old face and trying his best to cultivate the first son born to his stepmother.

If he loses the emperor's favor again, Li Gan's days of tyranny in Kyoto may become a thing of the past forever.

From now on, can we also complain and take revenge?

However, this is just speculation by most people.

Li Gan once again deeply felt the harshness of the world.

After the punishment of kneeling was over, Li Gan stayed behind closed doors to recuperate.

Apart from Li Gan's mother clan, there were only two or three kittens who came to express condolences.

When Li Gan recovered from his injury and was ready to return to Kyoto's social circle, he planned to hold a banquet and treat guests to the Biyu Tower. However, after his post was posted, only a few people were willing to accept it, reply to it, and attend the appointment.

More than half of those dandy boys who usually went around with him to watch flowers, fight cocks and walk dogs, found various excuses to leave him there.

Some people even stopped attending his appointments.

And quite a few of those subordinates who used to accompany him, surround him, and treat him with respect when they saw him, began to keep a distance from him.

Even those ladies who loved to throw flowers, fruits, purses, and sachets to him every time they saw him have calmed down one after another. Their faces would be flushed when they saw him no more, but they would calmly put on their curtains.

Fence and walk away quietly.

Li Gan said nothing and watched all this with cold eyes.

On the other hand, his great-grandson, who he had taken out of the palace to play several times, was as close and attached to him as ever. He did not change his attitude toward him because of other people's attitudes.

In fact, not only did Li Gan not fall out of favor, but he had already obtained the emperor's secret order before he was "punished to kneel".

The emperor asked him to investigate clearly the power distribution of several influential nobles in the Chu court, including Gu Mingzhen. In particular, their power in the army.

Speaking of which, the relationship between Gu Mingzhen and the emperor was quite subtle.

On the surface, the emperor trusted Gu Mingzhen very much and was full of praise for his abilities, but secretly, he was somewhat wary of Gu Mingzhen and other clan members with good reputations.

Compared with his several adult and underage sons, he felt that people like Gu Mingzhen were the real opponents worthy of his vigilance and prevention.

But when it came to using assassination methods to deal with Gu Mingzhen, he couldn't do it, and he didn't need to.

If he really wanted to deal with Gu Mingzhen, he only needed an edict.

If Gu Mingzhen had no intention of rebelling, he could have taken away Gu Mingzhen's power easily. There was no need to send out killers or assassins. What's more, those killers and assassins were too unprofessional.

If Gu Mingzhen really has the intention to rebel, then Gu Mingzhen has lost his righteousness. Even if he spends some money and food, it will only take three to five years to capture Gu Mingzhen.

However, even though he knew in his heart that he had an absolute advantage in his relationship with Gu Mingzhen, the emperor still couldn't help being scrupulous and defensive about Gu Mingzhen.

The only thing to worry about, perhaps, is Gu Mingzhen's influence. Perhaps, Gu Mingzhen's continuous participation in government affairs gradually encroached on him and quietly emptied his power.

Asking for votes!
