West Hall.
Yu Huatian sat on the white tiger chair and said coldly,"Bring them up."
Under the escort of the guards, several eunuchs were brought into the main hall.
"Governor, spare my life. Governor, I really don't know anything!”
At this moment, they were already covered in wounds as they cried and begged Yu Huatian for mercy.
"Let me ask you, how many people have come into contact with His Majesty's imperial cuisine?”
"Are you hiding anything else?”
The young eunuchs shook their heads with tears in their eyes and said,"Supervisor, we don't know. We really don't know anything.”
Yu Huatian's eyes flashed with a cold light as he said coldly,"Kill him!"
When the young eunuchs heard this, their expressions suddenly changed.
"Supervisor, this matter has nothing to do with us!”
"We really didn't put the poison in there!”
The young eunuchs cried out in horror, proving their innocence.
"As eunuchs in charge of the emperor's meals, you can't even take care of such a small matter!”
"If it weren't for the eunuch who tested the poison, it was very likely that His Majesty would have died!”
Yu Huatian's words sent them to hell.
"Kill them!"
The young eunuchs were prepared to defend themselves.
However, he only opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
When the West Chamber natives took back their blood-stained embroidered spring sabers, they respectfully retreated to the side.
Looking at the corpse on the ground, Yu Huatian did not even frown.
He killed people like flies, and his embroidered robe was not stained with a drop of blood!
……
In the East Chamber.
When Cao Zhengchun learned that Yu Huatian had executed all 20 factory guards, he was instantly enraged.
This was an insult to the dignity of the East Military Hall!
"West Hall! This is too much!"
Bang!
Cao Zhengchun slammed his palm on the corner of the chair.
At this moment, Second Gear hurriedly walked in from outside the hall. He hurriedly went forward and said,"Supervisor, there's news from the West Military Hall. Under the strict interrogation of the West Military Hall, a person couldn't stand the punishment and confessed!”
Cao Zhengchun's expression changed slightly and he said coldly,""Who is so bold!"
"White Lotus Society!"
"White Lotus Society!"
Cao Zhengchun's eyes flashed with a poisonous light as he muttered coldly.
The White Lotus Cult was a cult that had risen since the Tang and Song Dynasties. Later, during the Hongwu and Yongle years, there were riots and they were suppressed many times.
He did not expect that the White Lotus Society would rise from the ashes again today and plot against the Emperor.
Most importantly, he had caused the East Military Hall to suffer such humiliation!
Damn it!
Damn it!
However, the West Branch was in the limelight. If the White Lotus Society was exposed by the West Branch, the East Branch would be trampled under the West Branch's feet forever.
He, Cao Zhengchun, would never be able to make a name for himself!
"No, I want to see His Majesty!"
Then, Cao Zhengchun stood up and headed straight for the Forbidden City.
……
Forbidden City.
Yangxin Palace Hall.
When Cao Zhengchun arrived, he discovered that Yu Huatian was also here.
Seeing this, Cao Zhengchun went forward in fear and bowed.""This lowly subject has committed a capital crime and caused Your Majesty to almost be harmed by evil people. Your Majesty, please punish me.”
Zhu Houzhao fixed his eyes on Cao Zhengchun and said,""Cao Zhengchun, you didn't come to see me just for this matter, right?”
Cao Zhengchun squeezed out a few drops of tears and kept wiping them with his sleeve. He said sadly,"After I learned that Your Majesty was almost killed, I was filled with grief and indignation. I swore that I would capture this evil person and skin him alive!”
Zhu Houzhao looked at Cao Zhengchun's indignant expression. If he didn't know Cao Zhengchun's character, he would have been fooled by his acting skills.
Zhu Houzhao slowly stood up and said in a dignified manner,""Rise! This matter is not your fault!"
"Zhen has already ordered Yu Huatian to take charge of this matter. Since you're here, you'll take responsibility as well!”
"The East Chamber has eyes and ears in the capital. You can do whatever you want with the remaining members of the White Lotus Society!”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian cupped their hands and bowed.
After the two of them left Yangxin Palace Hall, Zhu Houzhao took down the Emperor's Sword hanging on the dragon pillar and gently wiped its edge.
At this stage, Zhu Houzhao knew that the White Lotus Society had at least tens of thousands of people participating in the war.
Otherwise, they would never be so bold as to enter the palace to murder the current emperor.
The White Lotus Society had revived and had already become a scourge to Great Ming.
No matter what methods were used, they had to be eradicated.
Zhu Houzhao had already made up his mind the moment he took the Emperor's Sword.
Zhu Houzhao wanted to let the members of the White Lotus Society know the consequences of joining the White Lotus Society.
At the same time, he also wanted to let the world see with their own eyes what kind of ending these White Lotus Society members would have!!!
Outside Yangxin Palace Hall.
Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian walked out together.
However, the two of them did not say a word. Neither of them had the intention to pay attention to the other.
Cao Zhengchun looked at Yu Huatian's travel-worn figure and sneered,"You're still too inexperienced to take all the credit!”
"There are some things that you can't touch!”
"This time, I want to let His Majesty see that the East Chamber is the sharpest sword in His Majesty's hands!”
Ever since the emperor's imperial edict was issued, the figures of the barbarians from the eastern and western factories frequently appeared in the eyes of the people in the capital.
As for the Eastern and Western Factories and the Embroidered Uniform Guards, just hearing their names would make the commoners tremble in fear.
Especially when they saw their figures frequently appear on the streets, the originally lively market became extremely desolate in the blink of an eye.
The commoners closed their doors and windows tightly, hiding in the corners and shivering.
Those who were slightly braver secretly opened their windows a little and looked carefully at the street.
When the people and officials who were unaware of the situation learned that it was the remnants of the White Lotus Society who had stirred up trouble and wanted to harm the Ming Emperor…
For a time, the capital instantly fell into a state of panic and everyone was in danger.
After all, they didn't know if their relatives and friends had joined the White Lotus Society.
……
In the residence of the Minister of Justice.
Hong Zhong paced around anxiously.
The remnants of the White Lotus Society caused trouble and harmed the Ming Emperor. They deserved to die.
It was not easy for Great Ming to have such a young lord. If the White Lotus Society succeeded, it would be the loss of the world and the loss of the Imperial Court.
Even the entire Great Ming would fall into danger because of this.
Thus, even if he killed thousands or tens of thousands of them, Hong Zhong wouldn't feel sorry for them.
However! What Hong Zhong was worried about was whether the East and West Factories would implicate more innocent people.
"Quick, prepare the horse immediately. I want to enter the palace to see His Majesty!”
When Hong Zhong said this, his wife hurriedly came forward and said,""Old Master, it's too late for everyone to hide now! Why do you still want to enter the palace?!"
"How would I not know?!" Hong Zhong said with a deep expression. However, the East and West Plants were ruthless. If they were allowed to continue like this, the entire capital would be covered in corpses and blood!”
"I have to see His Majesty. Please handle this matter properly!”
