Emperor Qianying didn't believe it. He believed that this was an excuse. Considering that since he came to the throne, these two ministers had long lost their real power and had become like a deaf person's ears, so they definitely wanted to stay. Even so, he took care of these two people to warn other officials and people.
"Yin Zhi, you immediately take the imperial doctor and palace guards to the Rui Mansion and the Ming Mansion. If you find that these two people have lied about their injuries, take them to me. I will kill the chickens as a warning!"
"According to the order." Yin Zhi knew that the emperor was angry, so he dared not be negligent. After agreeing, he turned around and left quickly.
Yin Zhi moved very quickly. Three imperial doctors and a hundred palace guards left the palace in just over a quarter of an hour, and then went straight to the residences of the two ministers. When they first arrived at Rui Mansion, the servants still wanted to He tried to stop him, but was pushed away by the palace guards.
"Come on, according to your majesty's order, check and express condolences about Rui Shangshu's condition. If anyone blocks it, take them all down." A voice like a drake sounded, and then Yin Zhi lifted the Buddha dust in his hand to his shoulder. Shake it off and head straight towards the bedroom.
As soon as he entered the bedroom, a strong medicinal smell hit his face, causing Yin Zhi to reach out and fan himself in front of his nose. When he then noticed that Rui Butong was lying on the bed with a small wailing sound, And when his right leg was still fixed to one side, he couldn't help but frown.
When Yin Zhi was leading the mission, he also thought that this was two ministers playing tricks, and that he could not really be sick or injured, but now it seems that this is not the case.
But for many things, just guessing is not enough. The eyes can also be deceiving. Yin Zhi then winked at the three imperial doctors he brought with him. At that moment, the three wonderful doctors walked to the bed to check the pulse. The pulse was felt, the wound was inspected, and another person found all the medicine residue, and it took a while to identify it.
Rui Butong's strong objections failed, and his injured right leg was re-examined by the imperial doctor. It was confirmed that it was indeed injured and that the bones were damaged, and the three of them retreated in embarrassment.
After all, as a doctor, it would be very bad for him to treat his patients like this. Especially Rui Butong's identity is not simple.
"Ah, what are you going to do? I said that I am also a minister of the court and one of the six ministers. How can I allow you to question it like this? If I hadn't been inconvenient now, I would have gone to the palace to report to you and others, ah!"
Amidst Rui Shangshu's unwilling and angry voice, Yin Zhi left in dejection with the three imperial doctors. It was at this time that Rui Butong stopped shouting. This time, he also went to great lengths to stay. After painstaking efforts, he did not hesitate to use this painful trick. Now it seems that the hardship is worth it.
Next, Yin Zhi took people to the Ming Mansion, and Mingshan's situation was naturally not much better. Not long after, the three imperial doctors followed Manager Yin back to the Wuying Hall in the palace and came to Qianying Emperor's return.
"What? Are their injuries real?"
The result was also beyond Emperor Qian Ying's expectation. After hearing this, he asked in disbelief. Especially when he looked at Yin Zhi, his expression turned a little unkind.
After all, although Yin Zhi has the title of chief eunuch, he is not trusted by Emperor Qianwen like Yan Fu. This time, Emperor Qianying was a little suspicious of whether there was something wrong with Yin Zhi and whether he accepted it. I got money from two ministers.
When Yin Zhi saw the emperor's unkind expression, he fell to his knees in fright with a plop, "Reporting to your majesty, this matter is absolutely true. This is also the result of the joint examination of the three imperial doctors."
Taking the three imperial doctors with him, Yin Zhi was telling Emperor Qian Ying that he couldn't hide such a thing even if he wanted to.
Sure enough, Emperor Qianwen then turned his attention to the three imperial doctors. The three of them knelt down and swore an oath to explain everything that had happened.
"Is this true?" Emperor Qian Ying's face looked better. What he was most worried about was that the people around him would betray him. Just like what happened to Emperor Qian Wen, wasn't it because of Dai Mubai, the commander-in-chief of the Emperor's Guard at that time? Was it due to betrayal?
"Your Majesty, the leg injuries of the two ministers are real, and they will not be able to move for a while. Otherwise, I am afraid they will have sequelae." An older imperial doctor said.
Emperor Qian Ying also knew the saying that it takes a hundred days to break the muscles and bones. Hearing this, he could only sigh. In this case, if the two ministers are taken away by force now, it will not be good. There will be more lame people in the future. What is the use of such a person?
"That's it, let them stay." As if he had made some kind of decision, Emperor Qian Ying continued: "Yin Zhi, you go to the two mansions again and take people to collect the money deposited in their homes. Take them all away and tell them that this is the money to buy their lives."
If people can't take it away, they take away their family's money. This was Emperor Qianying's way of venting his anger. The two ministers must have known about it, so they could only swallow their anger.
"Also, all the officials who couldn't leave had their homes ransacked. I want to see how King Ji will clean up this mess. As for those officials who didn't have enough reasons to stay, they were all arrested and put to death. When they are sent to Qingzhou City, everyone will think that I am easy to fool, so I will give them a good look."
"According to the order." Yin Zhi knew that the emperor was angry and wanted to show his fangs. Even so, of course the slaves must cooperate well.
Afterwards, Yin Zhi still took three imperial doctors out of the palace, but unlike before, this time the number of palace guards behind him changed from one hundred to two thousand. Since it was a house raid, how could they be used with less people?
For a time, the whole Daliang City was in a state of chaos. I don’t know how many ministers’ mansions were ransacked. In the chaos, some families of powerful people and wealthy gentry were also robbed. The three religions and nine schools in the city became active, and the robbers took advantage of the situation. All.
Su Mansion.
As one of the wealthy families, the Su family has not developed as well as before in the past two years.
In the past, Tang Ao was still the Duke of the country. When he was still in Daliang City, Su Xun, the head of the Su family, got on this express train. The family's power grew extremely strong, surpassing the Lu family, Baili family and Fan family who were also wealthy families. .
The Lu family, which mainly engaged in the paper industry, was forced to move away, and the Baili family, which started out as a world-famous silk; the Fan family, who made a living by blacksmithing and was known as the king of iron tools, was far behind the Su family in terms of strength. Behind him.
This is because both the Fan family and the Baili family have the support of two servants. Otherwise, I'm afraid they won't get much benefit.
However, since Tang Ao exposed his identity as the prince and became King Ji and stayed away from Daliang, the development of the Su family has slowed down, and even Emperor Qianwen was no longer around. After experiencing Emperor Qianren and Emperor Qianying, The strength of the Su family also began to decline.
The Fan family had already followed King Qing and left their homeland. The Baili family that remained behind had suffered a huge blow after the death of Baili Gui, who had already lost power last year. Now it was finally the Su family's turn to face Emperor Qian Ying's increasing pressure. Fifty years after the commercial taxes were even collected, the Su family's industry had shrunk by more than half, and was even worse than before the alliance with Tang Ao.
After experiencing all this, Su Xun seemed to have aged a lot. Now his eldest son Su Tong is taking care of the family affairs. He has retreated behind the scenes and is preparing to take care of his old age.
But who would have thought that the Xuanjia Army was defeated again and again in the face of the Jizhou Army, and now the entire Daliang City was about to be lost. In the chaos, many of the Su family's gold shops became important targets for robbery. Just now , when servants from the government came to report that seven shops in the city had been looted and two shops had been burned down by fire, the faces of the Su family became extremely ugly.
Normally, with such a heavy loss, some people would have started crying. But now, not for any other reason, it was just because the whole city was in chaos, because a group of bad guys almost rushed into Suzhou just now. In the courtyard of the mansion, thanks to the full resistance of the guards and servants, the visitor was killed.
But as a result, the Su family also paid a heavy price. Only one-third of the number of guards and servants were left. If a group of bad guys rushed into the house at this time, they might not even be able to protect themselves.
When a person's life is not even guaranteed, why would he care about how much money he has lost?
At this moment, everyone in the Su family was in a state of trembling. Even the head of the family, Su Tong, was trembling with fear. If the old head of the family, Su Xun, had not stepped forward, carried the beam, and sat on a master's chair to hold down the battle, perhaps there would have been no need for thugs. If they come, they will cause chaos themselves.
The door of the mansion has been destroyed long ago, and now it is only blocked by a few broken wooden boards. But it is conceivable that if a bad person really comes, they can easily kick it open.
In such a harsh environment, Su Xun sat on the Taishi chair with a fine wooden stick propped up in the courtyard. Behind him were all the Su family members, and on both sides of them were only There are less than twenty nurses and servants.
Even among the less than twenty people, several were injured, filling the air with an unpleasant smell of blood.
"Don't be afraid, the sky won't fall." When he noticed that the woman from the Su family behind him could not help crying, she hit the ground with a wooden stick, and Su Xun shouted with a livid face.
After a loud roar, the courtyard became much quieter. But this did not last long. Then, when a burst of chaotic footsteps came, everyone in the courtyard couldn't help but hold their breath.
What are you afraid of, what will come.
Just when everyone was wondering if the person coming was a bad guy, voices could be heard outside, "This is the Su Mansion. There is old nose gold and silver in it, but I just don't know if it has been robbed by someone."
