At this point, the people that the marquises, nobles, and King An were unclear about had basically been figured out.
Ji Gang had a list of names that would send chills down anyone's spine. The Embroidered Uniform Guards who were ready to make trouble now looked as if they wanted to kill him.
If he just wanted to show respect to his brothers and send his good brother to meet the ancestors of the Qi Dynasty, Bai Mucheng wouldn't have to wait so long. He had plenty of ways to make King An 'die a sudden death'.
However, he hoped to use his good big brother to thoroughly cleanse the royal court.
Hence, Bai Musheng had been suppressing this matter and didn't make a move. He even allowed King An, the deposed crown prince, to live comfortably in his mansion, waiting for the perfect opportunity to eliminate everyone in one go.
In the beginning, Bai Musheng had thought of patiently waiting for his conquest of Goguryeo to end. With the boundless prestige he gained from destroying the country, he would crush all these scums with his might.
Later, when he found out that King An was actually going to join hands with Five Poisons Rebellion, he almost laughed out loud. Wasn't he rushing to hand him a knife? Therefore, he immediately considered deliberately stabbing the traitor to lure him into jumping up and down.
In the end, Zhu Menghuang gave him another big surprise.
King An and the others weren't the ones who took the initiative to block the knife for him regarding the Jiangnan East Road incident. In Bai Musheng's eyes, those people were clearly digging their own graves happily before jumping in and lying down, saying 'Your Majesty' to him obediently! Come and bury us outdated antiques so that you can create an unprecedented prosperity for Daqi!”…
Since you're so cooperative, how can I not let you get what you want? How could he not put on a show of "harmony between the monarch and his subjects" in front of the world?
So go in peace, my dear ministers.
…Dividing line…
The sons of Marquis Anyang and Marquis Changde rode on horses in Chang 'an and killed and injured several people.
The emperor was furious and ordered the capital governor Bao Zheng to investigate this matter, but unexpectedly, during the trial, he 'unintentionally' discovered several serious crimes committed by the Anyang Marquis and Changde Marquis.
The sons of the two marquises had actually committed many bloody crimes in the past. They had robbed and humiliated other people's wives and daughters. After that, the two marquises had used their power to completely suppress the victims.
Such a thing had spread throughout Chang 'an in just two or three days. When people came back to their senses, the Jinyiwei had already broken into the two marquises' mansions and confiscated them.
"So, they really did those things?”
In the garden at the back of the palace, Zhu Menghuang was leaning against Bai Musheng's chest on a wide couch as she asked lazily.
"Of course not."
"No?" Zhu Menghuang stared at Bai Musheng with her moist eyes." Then…how are those Brocade Guard going to arrest them?”
"When the Embroidered Uniform Guards arrest people, they don't need evidence. Otherwise, they wouldn't be the Embroidered Uniform Guards.”
" Splashing dirty water, framing, framing, breaking into the door to arrest people, looting and exterminating the family-the Jinyiwei is very familiar with this process. Huang 'er, you don't know this. When I asked Ji Gang to do this, his eyes were almost shining.”
Zhu Menghuang started to doubt her life.
How could it be like this?
"Do you think I'm too cruel?"
When Zhu Menghuang heard this, she shrank into Bai Musheng's embrace.
Hmm…It's not like she's related to me, so what does it have to do with me?
Gou 'zi could do whatever he wanted.
He just didn't know if people would call him a tyrant…
"Husband, if the world knows the truth, will it affect your reputation?”
Bai Musheng patted the silly girl's head and laughed."Those who know the truth also know why I did this. They won't say anything. Those who did not know the truth…would never know.”
" Besides, killing the chicken to warn the monkeys and taking down two examples can also make those silkpants in Chang 'an City restrain themselves a little. They don't only know how to fight cocks and dogs all day long.”
Bai Musheng naturally wasn't worried that this would cause any trouble.
Now, the people he needed to treat with relative caution would not cause trouble at this critical juncture.
Everyone was patiently waiting for news from Jiangnan East Road.
The imperial censor sent by Bai Musheng and the army from the North Camp led by Zhao Yun finally arrived at Jiangnan East Road after a few days.
And before they arrived, the order from the emperor had already been sent to the Jiangnan Eastern Dao supervisory censor.
When he first received the order, the Jiangnan East Road's censor even suspected that he had heard wrongly.
The emperor received a warning from the heavens, and in his dream, he saw that the Mingzhou and Taizhou counties under his governance were about to have an unprecedented typhoon?
Could it be that there was a demon beside the Son of Heaven who was bewitching him?
Almost instinctively, the Jiangnan Dongdao Imperial Censor, who had grown up reading the Four Books and Five Classics, thought of this possibility.
But no matter what, the emperor had already issued an edict, and the higher-ups of the three provinces and six ministries had unified their will. He, as a local censor, had no ability to resist.
This order had to be carried out even if he did not understand it.
He had no choice but to go down and organize and mobilize the evacuation of the people.
Fortunately, Gan Yu, the supervisor of Jiangnan Dongdao, had been in charge of this place for a long time. He had some strength of character and was very famous in the local area.
The local officials, in front of him, did not even dare to complain except to cooperate with him in fear.
It was just that the commoners were a little troublesome.
Since ancient times, the people of the various countries had a strong sense of nostalgia for their homeland. They believed that people would rather starve to death than be moved to other places.
The fox died on the hill, and the bird flew south.
This was especially true for farmers.
Fortunately, it was also a long-standing habit of the people of the Xia Dynasty not to fight with the officials. With the direct mobilization of the people from the local government, most of the villagers could only leave their ancestral land with reluctance.
But this was only relative.
There were always some people who were unwilling to leave their hometown, and there were also some farmers who would die at home no matter what. They were reluctant to part with their fields and crops.
Towards these people, Gan Yu naturally did not hold back. He had governed Jiangnan East Road for many years and had always been amiable. Did someone really treat him like mud?
Under his instructions, the provincial governors of Taizhou and Mingzhou directly got people to use tricks to kidnap them.
In just a dozen days, the people of Taizhou and Mingzhou were all evacuated.
Countless commoners left their homes with grief and reluctance, bringing all the property they could with them.
Along the way, there were wails and cries. There were even rumors everywhere.
Some people even said that the imperial court was trying to turn them into refugees so that they could be directly conscripted to work as coolies.
This rumor made Zhao Yun laugh out of anger.
Do manual labor? Did Tian Zi really need to go through so much trouble to make people do hard labor? He could just directly order the conscription of corvee. Why would he need to do this?
In a fit of rage, Zhao Yun caught all the people who spread the rumors and beheaded them in public. She was very decisive.
After all, he was a general who led troops to battle on the battlefield and killed countless people. He naturally would not be merciful at a critical moment.
