He was not afraid at all, but felt that the person who did this was stupid.
With just this bullet, he can draw many forces into this case.
The muddy the water becomes and the more forces are involved, the more difficult it will be for the Su Erniu family to control the direction of the case.
By doing this, they are also slapping the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the face.
Li Yuanzheng, the censor of Zuodu, cannot continue to play both sides after today, and can only stand firmly behind him.
Otherwise, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will become a joke and will never have any authority from now on.
Huo Qidao immediately ordered: "Tao Muhua, go and ask Mr. Li, the censor of Zuodu, to come to the scene.
Gao Qifeng, if you go to the Ministry of Justice and report the case, you will say that we were assassinated.
I personally went to see the saint and asked your majesty to do justice for everyone.
I don’t believe that someone can dominate the Great China Empire with one hand.”
…………………………
Emperor Su He is reading the report of Su Changsheng's investigation.
His face was livid, veins were pulsing on his forehead, and his breathing became heavy, showing that he was in an extremely angry situation.
"Both, these are the bugs of the empire, how dare they do this."
Emperor Su He looked at the preliminary investigation data of Xuanwu Guard during this period.
The crimes committed by Su Erniu's family are each more serious than the last.
The most serious one is Su Ying. As the Minister of Military Justice, he actually conspired with some people in the military to buy and sell military merit.
Let the powerful men in the army usurp the military achievements of the poor men.
His approach directly touched Emperor Su He's bottom line.
They only embezzled most of the military industry, and most of them exchanged second-class merit for first-class merit.
The number of victims was small, and the people they were looking for were military officers with peasant backgrounds and no background.
They didn't do everything right, the Military Justice Department was rotten, and these officers had nowhere to turn.
This is why the case has never been exposed.
Had Xuanwu Guards not conducted an in-depth investigation, they would not have been able to find out this case.
As the director of the State Administration of Taxation, Su Que did not embezzle taxes.
Instead, they adopted a more covert method and accepted bribes from some businessmen.
Su Que took advantage of his position to suppress these hurtful opponents and imposed heavy taxes on them.
He also reached out to the Shaofu, and they conspired with the Shaofu officials to embezzle the Shaofu's property.
As the minister of Dali Temple, Su Yan made relatively minor mistakes.
Taking advantage of his position, he sentenced criminals who should be sentenced to death to exile to maintain the status of the Su family.
This cannot be said to be Su Yan's fault. Emperor Su He had already issued an imperial edict, except for criminals with great influence and cruel methods.
Most death row prisoners are sentenced to exile as long as there are extenuating circumstances.
Su Yan used his network in the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to protect the power of the Su family.
Su Yan, who was dismissed by Emperor Su He for reasons, was actually the one with less serious crimes in Su Erniu's family.
The most famous person in Su Erniu's family is not these three people, but Su He, Su Erniu's youngest son.
Taking advantage of his family background, he bullies men and dominates women, buys and sells by force, and commits all kinds of evil.
He is a well-known playboy in the capital. He has a gang called the Black Tiger Gang, but no one dares to rule it.
Emperor Su He said angrily: "These people are too bold.
I have never treated them badly, and these people are extremely humane.
They want so much money, so what's the use of being so powerful?
These people disappoint me so much.”
Su Changsheng reported: "Your Majesty, I ordered the Xuanwu Guards to investigate. They formed a force and collected money.
This is an attempt to build a huge empire overseas."
Emperor Su He laughed angrily.
“It’s up to them to build the country overseas.
Even Li Fengming and Wang Zhongce, if Zhang Yuliang hadn't helped them clean up the indigenous tribes, and then blocked the offensive of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.
Both countries are on the verge of collapse. How can they develop better?
With the strength of Su Ying and others, how could the founding of the country be successful?
I gave these people a chance earlier, but they didn't even dare to go to the battlefield.
If you miss the opportunity, you will miss it forever.”
Emperor Su He threw the report aside, looked at Su Changsheng and asked, "What did you want to report just now?"
Su Changsheng said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the secret agent of Xuanwu Guard is lurking in Su Erniu's family.
Li Yuanzheng, the censor of Zuodu, transferred Huo Qidao, the censor of the capital, to the capital. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was aimed at the Su family.
Su He ordered the Black Tiger Gang to prepare to scare Huo Qidao with a gun and give him a warning."
After Emperor Su He heard this, he didn't know what to say.
This kind of playboy does things without considering the consequences. His actions will force many people to take sides.
Many old foxes are waiting to see what the emperor thinks of Su Erniu's family.
They will not place bets easily. Su He is slapping them in the face by doing this. These people will not be able to do anything unless they end up.
Emperor Su He originally wanted to use the Xuanwu Guards, but it seems there is no need to do so.
Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi walked into the palace of Qianqing and reported: "Your Majesty, Huo Qidao, the imperial censor of Qiandu in the Imperial Procuratorate, wants to see you.
If he says that His Majesty is missing, then he will sound the drum of grievance."
Emperor Su He asked Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi to bring Huo Qidao in.
He ordered Su Changsheng: "The Xuanwu Guards keep a close eye on Su Erniu's family to prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry.
Once this family makes any move, I will allow the Xuanwu Guards to kill them first and then report them."
Su Changsheng immediately stood up straight and responded: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will definitely keep an eye on Su Erniu and his family.
Without His Majesty's will, no one can mobilize a single soldier."
After Su Changsheng reported the case, he left Qianqing Palace with Emperor Su He's will.
Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi quickly brought Huo Qidao, the imperial censor of the Imperial Procuratorate and the capital, into the Qianqing Palace.
Huo Qidao came to the Qianqing Palace for the first time, which was the center of power of the Great China Empire.
As soon as he walked into the Qianqing Palace, he immediately knelt down and apologized: "Please forgive me for using this last resort to seek an audience with Your Majesty.
As a censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, how can I investigate the case even if I can't guarantee my life?"
Emperor Su He said calmly: "Huo Yushi fined him half a year's salary, and this will not happen next time.
Tell me why you want to see me."
Huo Qidao heard Emperor Su He put down his hands gently, and he forced himself to face the Holy Emperor.
He said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, I am gathering my men to prepare to investigate the case.
Suddenly a killer shot at me. If I hadn't been alert, my life would have been taken.
The forces involved in this case are unusual. With my ability, I can investigate the case, but I am afraid that I will die before I leave.
Your Majesty, please send someone to protect my safety so that I can investigate the case with peace of mind."
When Huo Qidao did this, he was also testing Emperor Su He's attitude.
What Emperor Su He does next will determine the depth of his investigation into this case.
Emperor Su He frowned and said: "Such a bad case happened at the feet of the Emperor.
This is someone provoking me, and it is absolutely unforgivable."
He looked at Qin Shanshui, the commander of the Qilin Guards, and ordered: "Commander Qin, please send a team of Qilin Guards to protect Huo Yushi's safety and assist the Yushi in handling the case."
"At the same time, I will issue an order to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to let them handle this case.
The assassination of the imperial censor in the Metropolitan Procuratorate is too rampant and must be severely punished."
When Huo Qidao saw Emperor Su He's attitude, he knew about this case and Emperor Su He wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Emperor Su He sent Qilin Guards to assist him in handling the case, which meant that he could pass the news to Emperor Su He's ears at any time.
He can also receive oral instructions from Emperor Su He through the Qilin Guard.
With this authority, he can handle the case with confidence.
Huo Qidao stood up, bowed and said, "Thank you for your support. I will certainly be able to share your worries and investigate this case."
…………………………
He Zhisheng, the Minister of Punishment, respectfully sent away the eunuchs who came to announce the decree.
He Zhisheng was covered in cold sweat and sat on the chair, panting heavily.
When he came back from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he felt that something was wrong.
Unexpectedly, the matter was far more serious than he expected.
This was the first time Emperor Su He issued an order to reprimand him. Once the news spread, how would the civil and military officials in the court view him?
His rivals must have insisted on insisting that he was no longer suitable to be the Minister of Punishment.
He Zhisheng immediately called his close men and ordered in a stern tone: "You must investigate this case thoroughly, and I want you to find clues within three days.
His Majesty the Emperor rebuked me, I can't keep my reputation, so don't think about it either."
"Sir, please rest assured that I will definitely investigate this case."
They all know that if Mr. He is dismissed from office, as Mr. He's confidants, they will also sit on the bench.
Even if the new minister is promoting new people, he will never use people like them.
Snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths.
Officials from the Ministry of Punishments were unable to touch the gangs for some reasons, so they also kept informants among the gangs.
Just to find clues to solve the case at this special moment.
Du Songguo, the leader of the Black Tiger Gang who was shot by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was quickly arrested.
He Zhisheng, the Minister of Punishment, personally ordered the annihilation of the Black Tiger Gang.
Huo Qidao also used this case as a breakthrough and cooperated with the Ministry of Criminal Justice to handle the case.
They seized key evidence at the Black Tiger Gang's base.
…………………………
Su Yan slapped Su He on the face, knocking out one of his teeth.
"You idiot, you actually did such a stupid thing.
So what if the Inspectorate investigates the case? Someone will take over the relevant cases.
This case involves the third brother, and the most he can do is resign, and he may be resurrected later.
You idiot, you will attract all the attention to our family."
Su He suffered some hardships when he was a child. After the Su family became prosperous, he had never been treated like this.
He stood up, pointed his finger at Su Yan, and said in a slightly leaky voice: "Second brother, I'm not doing this for your own good.
How could our Su family be afraid of a little censor?
My methods are very clean, and at most I can only trace the Black Tiger Gang."
When Su Yan heard this, she couldn't help but prepared to step forward and beat Su He again.
"Idiot, who can you hide the things you do?
If I hadn't wiped your ass before, you would have ended up in jail."
Su He ran away immediately when he saw Su Yan hitting him, and immediately yelled: "Mom, please take care of the second son, he really wants to beat me to death."
Su Erniu's wife, Su Chao, walked out of the main room and immediately protected Su He.
"Su Yan, your brother is still a child, why are you so familiar with him?"
"Kid, the things he does are like a kid.
If it weren't for your pampering, he would be like this.
Sooner or later, this family will be implicated by him."
Su Chao pinched her waist and said, "Who are we? I am the emperor's biological aunt.
When he was suffering, if our family had not given him a bag of rice bran, the orphans and widowed mother would have starved to death.
With such a great kindness, what are we afraid of?
When something happened to your brothers before, I went to see your third aunt, and they all recognized our family's kindness."
Seeing her mother's attitude, Su Yan could no longer persuade her.
He felt that Emperor Su He's attitude had changed since he was dismissed from office.
If their family repays their kindness in return, the Queen Mother can take care of it while she is still alive.
With Emperor Su He's character, it was difficult to tolerate their actions.
The eldest brother and the third brother have similar views to the mother, plus there is a fifth brother who is a demon king.
He tried to persuade me many times, but to no avail.
Su Yan suddenly heard a quarrel coming from the front yard.
A crisp gunshot shocked everyone.
Who? How dare you shoot here.
Su Yan soon saw his former colleagues, He Zhisheng, the Minister of Punishment, and Huo Qidao, the famous censor of the Imperial Procuratorate and the capital during this period, leading people into the mansion.
They controlled everyone in the house.
When He Zhisheng, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, saw Su Yan, he said angrily: "Marquis Su, His Majesty the Emperor asked you to reflect behind closed doors in the palace, why are you still violating the Holy Order?"
The evidence that the Ministry of Punishment now has can make it impossible for Su Erniu's family to stand up.
He Zhisheng hates Su Yan because this person may not even be able to keep his black gauze hat.
He loudly ordered: "Su He was involved in instructing others to assassinate the imperial officials.
He was involved in 42 other major cases such as homicides, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice formally arrested Su He."
When Su Chao heard that the Ministry of Justice was going to arrest Su He, he immediately stood up and scolded: "Do you know who our family is? How dare you arrest members of our family."
Huo Qidao stood up and said: "Princes who break the law are as guilty as the common people. No one can escape the punishment of the law."
He turned to He Zhisheng, the Minister of Punishment, and said, "Master He, why don't you take action?"
He Zhisheng immediately ordered: "I have signed an arrest warrant. You should arrest the criminal immediately."
The patrol officers from the Ministry of Punishment immediately took out their torture instruments and took Su He away directly.
When Su Chao saw that he could not stop him, he immediately sat on the ground and cried loudly.
"I'm going to sue Su He. You people dare to touch our home."
Huo Qidao walked to Su Yan and said in an indifferent tone: "Master Su, I didn't expect that we would meet here.
I have something to ask Lord Su to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
Su Yan looked at Huo Qidao's performance. If he dared to refuse, these people would take him away forcibly.
…………………………
In the Hongyan Restaurant in the capital, some well-established drinkers drank relatively expensive wine and chatted about current events.
"Brother Zhang, have you heard? Su Erniu's family collapsed. It's really unimaginable.
Su Ying, the eldest son of the Su family and Minister of Military Justice, was directly captured by the Governor Feng Sanqiu.
Su Yan, the second eldest son of the Su family, the Qing of Dali Temple, was captured by Yushi Huo Qidao.
The third oldest member of the Su family, Su Que, director of the State Administration of Taxation, was also captured by Yushi Huo Qidao.
I didn’t expect that such royal relatives would lose power one day.”
"Brother Li, those officials will do things if they are paid, and these relatives of the emperor will find trouble if they are not paid.
These people are all insatiable gluttons who eat people without spitting out their bones.
It's really satisfying that they were caught."
Most of the drinkers were talking about Su Erniu and his family.
Some people think that as this family is a relative of the royal family, they will be lifted up high and put down gently.
The courtesy cannot be extended to the common people, and the punishment cannot be extended to the scholar-bureaucrats, let alone the relatives of the emperor, the second uncle's family of His Majesty the Emperor.
Some people believe that His Majesty the Emperor will definitely choose a harsh sentence in order to warn other clans.
