When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

The emperor listened to the secret guard's report with a gloomy face.

Ziwei's apprentice Tianlang was the first person sent by the emperor to investigate Chen Guojiu. After Chen Xu was detained and taken away by the Imperial Guards, he returned to report.

When the emperor saw him, he asked, "What did you find out?"

Tianlang lowered his head and kept in mind his master's teachings. They were the emperor's people and should be the emperor's eyes and ears.

"I found Uncle Chen in a brothel in Lang County, 200 miles away from Dan County. He was hosting a banquet for a large group of court officials... and he didn't seem to be planning to send food to Dan County."

Tianlang did not tell the emperor in detail what he saw at that time:

The brothel was magnificent, the dancers had graceful figures and scantily clad clothes, and the smell of wine and rouge mixed together to form a unique scent.

The table was filled with delicacies from land and sea, and a wide variety of fine wines and delicacies.

Chen Guojiu and a group of officials indulged in sensual pleasures, completely disregarding the lives of the victims.

A large group of people hugged Hua Niang, drinking and having fun, they were very happy.

The emperor snorted coldly! Tianlang paused for a moment and said:

"The positions of those ministers are all recorded on this list. Please take a look." Tianlang presented a list with both hands. The emperor took it and quickly scanned it.

Wow! They are all local officials, and also local officials from top to bottom who are in charge of government grain.

No wonder! The Prince of Dongshan couldn't even raise a grain of food.

All the relevant officials were won over by Chen Xu.

Haha, that’s good now. We don’t have to check it out anymore. We can arrest people according to the list and no one will be wrongly accused!

In the past few days, he had already calmed down a lot of his anger towards the Chen family, but he was provoked again by these officials who were connected at all levels.

Chen Xu! You are awesome!

The emperor almost squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth:

“Investigate the Chen family, its branches, and all officials who are close to them. If there are any who have done something wrong, punish them if necessary, or demote them if necessary.

Break up their group and send them to remote places to serve as officials. I don't want to see any of them in Kyoto for three years."

No official dares to say that he has a clean hand. It’s easy to find out your mistakes!

It depends on whether they want to check you out!

Tianlang clasped his fists and said yes, then he received the task and went out.

The emperor fell into his chair as if all his strength had been drained away.

In the end, he still took action against the Chen family.

This was the last thing he wanted to do, but the Chen family's hands were too long!

Because the Queen has no children, they are so rampant, excluding dissidents, forming cliques for personal gain, and wishing that only members of the Chen family would be around the Emperor!

how can that be!

There is no one named Chen in this world!

A terrible thought flashed through the emperor's mind!

Empress Chen has no children, so why is the Chen family still making such a fuss?

He originally felt a little guilty towards the Queen, but now he was determined to deal with the Chen family.

Regardless of whether the queen has a son in the future, the Chen family, as an in-law, cannot be too large.

Take this opportunity to properly downsize the Chen family to prevent greater disasters in the future.

In Kyoto, the family of Emperor Chen was surrounded by the Imperial Guards.

A large iron padlock was locked on the main gate, and no one in the mansion was allowed to enter or leave.

They can only stay in their own yard, and there are guards guarding every gate.

Three steps to a post, five steps to a sentry.

All adult male members of the Chen family who served in the court were taken away for interrogation, leaving only the elderly, the weak, women and children in the Chen mansion, living in fear.

They didn't even know what the reason was. They just said that Uncle Chen was ineffective in providing disaster relief and thus angered the emperor!

However, the people I know are all in the government, and they can tell at a glance that this matter cannot be that simple.

But the emperor’s anger must be real, otherwise he wouldn’t be so disrespectful to the queen!

The relationship between the Queen and the Emperor has always been good, and everyone in the court knows this.

But now, the emperor is willing to take action against the Chen family regardless of the Queen's face. It is obvious that the Chen family must have caused a big trouble!

For a time, those officials who had been on good terms with the Chen family no longer dared to associate with them.

Recently, all the children in Kyoto have been strictly ordered by their parents to stay at home and not go out, for fear that they might touch the emperor's sore spot at this sensitive time.

When the time comes, you won’t even know how you died!

Uncle Chen was still enjoying the gentleness of his life one second, and the next he received the Emperor's oral order brought by Tianlang!

I was just frightened to begin with, and when I heard him continue to deliver food, I knew something might have happened, but it wasn't a big deal!

He can still save face as the queen's sister.

Therefore, although he looked restrained on the surface, he was actually not afraid at all in his heart and acted very confident!

Unexpectedly, as soon as Tianlang left, they had not yet decided to leave, and planned to go to a secluded place to continue having fun.

Otherwise, wouldn't I lose face today? !

Could Chen Guojiu be frightened by a few words of scolding?

As a group of people were bustling out of the brothel, the imperial guards arrived and arrested Chen Guojiu on the spot!

Chen Xu didn't react at first, and didn't know who the person was, so he started to curse:

"You bunch of bastards! Open your dog eyes and see clearly who I am! How dare you arrest me? My sister is the current queen! I am the uncle of the emperor!"

Those local officials also stepped forward to stop them. They each held important positions and many of them had military power under them.

So, they went forward very forcefully to snatch the person away.

"Release the emperor's uncle! You must have caught the wrong man! Let him go..." Everyone was shouting at random, and some even tried to grab him.

The general leading the Imperial Guard was also tough enough, and he knocked down the arrogant Chen Guojiu with just one punch.

"What are you yelling about? The one we caught is you, Chen Xu! Uncle of the Emperor!"

Those local officials seemed to sober up all of a sudden, and quickly retreated and dispersed.

The Imperial Guards are all people around the emperor, and they hate others using their status to oppress them!

Who doesn't have a prominent identity? Why are you showing off?

You're still looking for a beating, so I'll grant your wish!

If I give you some color, you will open a dyeing factory!

If I don't hit you, you'll still jump up to the sky!

The general of the Royal Guard revealed his identity at this time and stuck the golden token of the Royal Guard in front of the noses of the officials. Everyone present was almost scared to death!

Oh my god! Aren't the guards in front of the emperor? Why are they here? The emperor is not here, right?

Why do they still care about officials visiting prostitutes?

It's just prostitution! They paid for it, it's not a big deal, so why bother hitting them?

Although officials were not allowed to visit prostitutes, they were not wearing official uniforms, so everyone turned a blind eye.

However, if the guards beat people, they would not dare to intervene.

Some old-timers in officialdom, seeing that things were going badly, no longer cared about their reputation and immediately slipped away.

Chen Guojiu was almost vomited by the punch. His stomach ached like a raging fire. He hunched over and lost his arrogance.

The general of the Imperial Guard showed his small white teeth to Chen Guojiu, and his smile was very creepy!
