"I issue an imperial edict to have Xiao Jian and Kou Tianxiong send troops overnight!"
"Admiral Su Zizai, please help me empty out all the Ni'er Society's silver vaults before dawn, and put all valuable things into the national treasury!"
"Hurry! Tell them not to delay. If they go late, something might happen!"
Qin Yun shouted excitedly.
"yes!"
The Imperial Guards quickly received the order, took the royal badge and rice paper, and went to give the order.
"Your Majesty, I have explained everything I have to explain, and the location has been written down. Can you let me go?" Hurun prayed.
Qin Yun glanced at him: "I can't let you go now. You can stay in Tianlao for the time being. Only when I capture Cao Hui and Gongsun Zan will I let you go."
Hearing this, Hu Run's face turned pale, but he did not dare to say anything.
Qin Yun said to Qi Yong again: "Except for Hu Run, the rest of the Taibao who are still alive will be executed in the market one day from tomorrow to force Cao Hui to show up."
"You, the Minister of Punishment, will supervise this personally."
Qi Yong nodded quickly: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Qin Yun then told Mr. Feng: "We will do our best to secretly investigate Gongsun Zan. This person may be Wang Min's subordinate. If we catch him, we can eliminate Wang Min's influence in the pass."
"Although Wang Min can't be caught for the time being, not a single one of her minions can be left behind."
"..."
Afterwards, Qin Yun left and left all subsequent matters to his subordinates to handle.
Late at night in the middle of winter.
The Grand Canal is extremely lively, with countless navy ships coming and going, lighting up the river like day.
Many abandoned and hidden docks were found, and boxes after boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry were taken away.
Ni'er would be stationed in some grassy areas of the warehouse, and some were killed and some escaped.
Xiao Jian stood upright in the cold wind, looking at the endless boxes, and exclaimed: "Ni'erhui is really damned. The total wealth is probably the total wealth of ten aristocratic families, right?"
"How many people did they kill and how many goods did they steal?!"
He clenched his fists and banged them.
Some officers and soldiers came to report: "General, we have counted it! Including the other five docks, the total is 100,000 taels of gold, 1.7 million taels of silver, as well as various treasures and jewelry, and countless large ships!"
Xiao Jian took a breath of air.
"Search, keep searching!"
"Take everything away."
"Enter the palace immediately and report the results of the battle to His Majesty!"
"Yes!" All the sergeants roared in unison, full of enthusiasm. With so much money seized, His Majesty will surely reward him.
On the other side, Kou Tianxiong is also working hard to seize the Ni'erhui's illegal gains.
At the same time, hundreds of slaves were rescued, including many beautiful girls.
Many young girls have been tortured to the point of being transformed into human beings.
Those dungeons can be described as inhumane.
The officers and soldiers were angry, and with Qin Yun's acquiescence, they massacred the remaining grass to rectify the law.
It wasn't until early morning that the operation was finally over. Hundreds of large ships returned fully loaded from the Grand Canal and entered the imperial capital under tight defense.
At the same time, notices were posted at the market.
At three quarters of noon, the fourth eunuch of Ni'erhui, Liu Ziyan, will be executed!
The shock inside and outside the imperial capital continues!
No matter the court, the people, or the world, there was a heated discussion.
before notice.
"Hahaha, God is wise, and finally let these bastards who have been doing evil for many years be put to death!"
"Woo!" An old man burst into tears and roared: "My daughter was killed by these beasts. Your majesty, your saintly wisdom, your majesty, your saintly wisdom, finally avenged us!"
"The emperor's actions are really fast. I haven't heard of any rumors about taking action against Ni'er before?"
"The emperor is a wise king. He cuts and exempts taxes, opens schools, and deals with corrupt officials and robbers. Isn't this all serving the people and the country? A saint can make his own decision on this matter."
"What about Xiliang?"
"Shh! Xiliang will deal with it sooner or later, just wait and see."
"Hurry up, go and see. Many fishermen and merchants are kneeling at Xuanwu Gate, crying to thank Your Majesty for your kindness. They left before dawn!"
"..."
On a gray morning, beside a railing covered with snow.
There was a man in black, looking at everything in the imperial capital indifferently, as if the joy of the people in the world had nothing to do with him.
bass!
He pulled out a dagger, white and sharp.
Without hesitation, he pressed the blade against his chest and pushed in hard.
Patches of blood overflowed from his chest, soaking his clothes and staining the snowflakes on his feet red, but his expression did not change at all, only his triangular eyes had a fierce look.
"Brothers, I got the news that my eldest brother came back late. I should have come back earlier."
"If I don't take revenge for this, I, Cao Hui, will never be a human being!"
"You guys go all the way, even if you are the emperor, my brother will make him pay the price."
His words are low, his pronunciation is extremely ruthless, and he has overwhelming anger!
Gongsun Zan suddenly appeared wearing a bamboo hat.
He glanced at Cao Hui, his eyes solemn, and after talking with him all night, he realized that this leader of the Thirteen Taibao was very extraordinary, far beyond what his younger brothers could compare to.
No wonder, he can be the leader.
"Master Cao, why do you need to harm yourself?"
"As long as the Ni'er Society has you here and the support of my family, it can leap over the dragon gate and become the largest grassroots sect in Daxia Pass."
"Money, power, prestige, everything you want!"
Cao Hui turned around slightly. His face was nearly fifty, his beard and hair were slightly white, but he didn't look old. Instead, he had an unfathomable sense of sophistication.
A pair of triangular eyes are as sharp as cobras, making people's scalp numb when looking at them.
"Humph, it's not the people around you who died, of course you said it was easy."
Gongsun Zan raised his eyebrows: "My lord and I have tried our best. It was your brothers who were arrogant and refused to listen, which led to this tragedy. No one can blame us."
"Are you going to follow in their footsteps now, rob the court, and kill the emperor?"
Cao Hui remained silent and said calmly: "I'm not that stupid. The emperor wants to kill one eunuch a day just to force me to show up."
"How can I take revenge as he wants? I, Cao, have a thousand ways to do it."
Gongsun Zan smiled slightly and said, "Do you need help?"
Cao Hui turned around and left indifferently: "Thank you very much, but I don't want to take care of Cao Hui's affairs through other people's hands."
Gongsun Zan was not discouraged and said with a smile: "Master Cao, it is difficult for you to survive the emperor's suppression on your own. Even with the Chaotian Temple behind you, you are still weak."
"The best choice is to cooperate with my master and serve her."
"To show sincerity."
"I have prepared money, weapons, and documents for entering the city for you. If you want to take revenge on the imperial court, I can help you with anything."
Cao Hui's footsteps stagnated, he looked deeply at Gongsun Zan with his triangular eyes, and said quietly: "You know too much!"
In an instant, a murderous aura filled the air.
Gongsun Zan didn't care, and left without hesitation. He turned back and said with a smile: "If you don't believe me, let's wait and see. Mr. Cao, you will need my master's help."
"We have the same goal, to take revenge on the imperial court!"
Cao Hui watched him leave deeply, thought for a long time, and said no more.
Finally, a hint of murderous intent flashed through his eyes, like a poisonous snake.
"No matter what, cooperate or not, let the emperor know my anger first!"
"Come here, get ready to pick flower drums at the West Lake in the imperial capital tonight."
