The Imperial Palace, the royal study.
Chu Xiu was a little surprised to see Xu Wenze tied to the ground.
"Is this from Li Xiangguo?"
The little Emperor nodded, got up, and walked over to Xu Wenze.
"He's surrendering to me!"
"This person is the Grand Master of the Four Seas Gang. Li Xiangguo said that this person knows all the money, grain, gold, silver, and so on of the Four Seas Gang!”
"Of course, it also includes some evidence of his crimes!”
Chu Xiu smiled and nodded." As expected of the crafty old Li Xiangguo. This is killing several birds with one stone!"”
"But I think it's good, Your Majesty. At least this proves that Li Xiangguo is a man of propriety!”
"Such a person might not be able to achieve great things, but he won't be a bad thing either!”
"For us, as long as the court is stable, it's enough!”
"Maybe we really need this Li Xiangguo to help us!”
When the little Emperor heard Chu Xiu's words, he said thoughtfully,""Looks like you dug up something amazing this time!”
"Yes, I am!"
"Since ancient times, scholars have used literature to mess with the law, and heroes have used martial arts to break the law!”
"Behind these sects, they are closely related to the rich and powerful in the capital!”
"They haven't reacted yet today, but I reckon that in two days, the imperial court will explode!”
"Zhen has already expected it! Other than this, was there no good news?”
The little Emperor stared at Chu Xiu and said meaningfully.
"Good news?"
"Of course!"
"Let's talk about the silver first. The harvest this time is no less than five million taels, especially for the Titanium Temple and the Rain Flower Pavilion.”
"This is not counting the large amount of property, land, and shops they hold!”
"There are also some precious jewelry, jade, and some herbs."
"In total, it's worth no less than eight million taels. To us, it's not bad.”
"Other than that, martial arts manuals from the Titanium Temple and the Rainflower Pavilion can be recorded into the Martial Arts Department as secret martial arts manuals for members to cultivate in the future!”
"In short, the Martial Arts Division can expand and develop!”
"In the next year, we will completely digest this area of the capital. First, we will make this place our base camp, and then slowly radiate it to other provinces and counties!”
Chu Xiu analyzed seriously.
The little Emperor nodded.”
"Oh right, I'll take this guy away and send him to the Embroidered Uniform Guards!”
Chu Xiu pointed at Xu Wenze on the ground.
"As you wish!"
The little Emperor didn't care about this and casually waved his hand.
....
As expected, three days later, the court assembly.
The little Emperor sat on the dragon throne and looked at the officials below.
"If there's anything, report. If there's nothing, withdraw!"
Just as the young eunuch finished speaking, a censor walked out from under the throne.
"Your Majesty, I have a memorial!"
"This subject impeaches the Martial Arts Department's Viceroy Chu Xiu for abusing his power. The Embroidered Uniform Guards and the East Chamber have wantonly killed in Jingdou and exterminated sects.”
"I, Zhu Chu Xiu!"
"Your Majesty, I agree. Chu Xiu is a traitor of the country. He used the name of the Martial Arts Department to implicate him. The Jingang Temple in the suburbs of the capital is the best place for Buddhism, but in one night, it was massacred by the Embroidered Uniform Guards and blood flowed like a river.”
Another censor walked out and said loudly.
Then, someone else came out.
"Your Majesty, the Rainflower Pavilion in the north of the city is a women's training ground. Most of the people in the pavilion are orphans. It is a great deed to take in the orphans and widows, but they were killed by the East Chamber. Many weak women were killed.”
"Chu Xiu's actions are no different from a traitor to the country!”
"I invite the traitor Chu Xiu!"
"I agree!"
"We agree!"
"Your Majesty, please give the people of the capital an explanation!”
The officials kneeled on the ground and shouted loudly.
At this moment, less than one-third of the officials were standing in the hall. Most of them were important officials of the imperial court.
On the throne, the little Emperor sat at the head of the table, looking down at the courtiers below with an inexplicable smile on her face.
"Good, very good!"
"This is the unyielding subject of my Great Xia.”
"However, why is the news that I heard different from all of you?”
"Coincidentally, I also have some information that I want to tell you!”
"Zhen has obtained a list of names here. There aren't many, but only some of the dignitaries in the capital who have dealings with certain people.”
"What a coincidence. Most of these people are your relatives!”
"I heard that this Titanium Temple is chanting scriptures and worshipping Buddha on the surface, but secretly lends money to accumulate wealth. Every year of drought, this Titanium Temple's land will expand several times.”
"And after the Great Buddha Hall, it became a hunting ground for many nobles. Many devotees and devotees took the opportunity to meet here.”
"I heard that the prayers for children in this Buddhist temple are effective, but there are no children who fail. I just don't know if those children are their own children or the children of those monks?”
"There were even people who discovered the inside story and cried out for injustice. Their entire family was killed overnight!”
"And that Rainflower Pavilion. On the surface, they take in orphans from the people, but in the dark, they kidnap young girls from all over the country to train here!”
"More than half of the brothels in the capital are related to the Rainflower Pavilion.”
"I also saw that this Rain Flower Pavilion also provides custom-made services. No matter what these dignitaries like, old or young, tall or short, as long as they like it, the Rain Flower Pavilion can find them!”
"How many concubines, maids, and singers were abducted by them?”
"There were no less than a thousand white bones dug out from the back mountain of the Rainflower Pavilion. They were all whipped to death!”
"This is the place you call the best? Is this your great deed?”
"As for the Four Seas Gang, there's no need to mention them. They use the name of a martial arts gang to act as local ruffians and hooligans, oppressing the people, bullying the villagers, destroying families, and committing all kinds of evil.”
As the little Emperor spoke, he stood up from the dragon throne and took out a name list from his sleeve.
"I have a list here. On it are the names of the dignitaries who are in contact with the Titanium Temple, the Rain Flower Pavilion, the Four Seas Gang, and the Spirit Snake Society!”
"How many of you shameless and unyielding people dare to stand up and pat your chest to tell me that your family members, your children, and your relatives are not here?”
"Is there?"
"Stand out and tell me!"
"And this is the capital under the Son of Heaven!”
"Why didn't the imperial court censors report this to me? Are they all deaf or blind?”
"With this, you call Chu Xiu a traitor?"
"Then what are you doing?”
"Worm, the vermin of the empire!”
"In the capital, your relatives dare to collude with these martial arts sects and commit all kinds of crimes!”
"I really can't imagine how lawless these people are when they join forces in the local areas and in the various provinces and counties!”
"I'm telling you, I will continue to investigate this matter. Not only in the capital, but also in the entire country!”
"Do you know what the Governor said to me before coming?”
"Scholars are best at reversing black and white, confusing right and wrong, calling a deer a horse, and calling a thief a thief!”
"I was going to refute him. A subject of my Great Xia can't be like this!”
"But the truth is, you really gave Governor Chu face and disgusted me!”
"What a bunch of books!”
"Retreat!"
After the little Emperor finished cursing coldly, she stood up and left in a carefree manner.
Only the officials were left kneeling on the ground with pale faces!
