Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

Xin Ye and Yan Yiyi originally planned to do the same thing tonight as before, first quietly deal with other mansions, and finally show up at the mansion of the highest-ranking official to put on a show.

Now the plan has changed, and they decided that tonight's action should be a little more spectacular so that the people of the capital city will talk about accumulating virtue. There are almost two extreme mentalities: those who like it like it, and those who hate it hate it.

Night fell as expected amid the people's heated discussions and expectations.

The starry sky tonight is dim, with floating clouds blocking the stars from time to time. The moonlight appears and disappears from time to time, and the breeze brings bursts of coolness, sweeping away the remaining heat from the daytime sun.

Today, most of the people in the capital finished their dinner early, and then took their small wooden stools and went to the official residences closest to their homes. These officials were the ones who received the letters of warning to do good deeds.

According to the rank of the officials, their mansions varied in size. Especially for some minor officials who stole donations for good deeds, their mansions were just ordinary small courtyards.

The highest-ranking official was the Marquis' Mansion, which had once produced the favorite concubines of the previous emperor. After the new emperor ascended the throne, those concubines who had not died in the palace coup were arranged to go to the royal temple to pray for the previous emperor and the State of Zhao.

As for the concubines who had children, none of them survived the palace coup. Because of their high status and children, they naturally became the first choice for elimination by the rebels.

Therefore, the emperor's harem is now empty, even the empress dowager who should be enjoying herself in the palace is not here. Without the constraints of a harem, the emperor concentrates on state affairs and the secret struggle with some ambitious and powerful ministers and aristocratic families.

In addition to the mansions of corrupt officials, there were also officials who proposed to return the silver at the morning court. Compared with the list of corrupt officials, their number only accounted for one-third of the total.

After careful counting, there are a total of thirty-two mansions that Ji De will visit tonight. Most of them are evenly distributed at the foot of the imperial city in the capital and in the East Market where officials gather. There are also a few living in the wealthy area of ​​the South Market. The minions who do things for money are also on the liquidation list. They live in the North Market and West Market in the civilian areas.

In order to watch the excitement, almost all the citizens of Beijing went out tonight. The common people who could not go to the imperial city or the wealthy areas almost all went to the North City and the West City, resulting in those houses being surrounded by the people.

If you have connections or relatives in wealthy or official areas, after discussing with your relatives, the whole family will go to their homes as guests and go out with the whole family in the evening to watch the fun.

Officials who had only heard of Ji De's name were not reserved either. They went to visit the homes of neighboring officials on the list. Even if they could not be at the scene in person, they wanted to see Ji De's face at the place closest to the scene and take a good look at his mysterious methods.

The emperor and the imperial preceptor naturally would not miss such a big event. In order to witness Ji De's actions with his own eyes, the imperial preceptor performed divination. Although he was not 100% sure, through the process of elimination and speculation, he decided that Ji De would appear in the Marquis Jing'an Mansion.

As the two people at the center of national power, it was impossible for them to go directly to Jing'an Marquis Mansion, so they went to Mu Mansion. Although it was across several alleys, it was not far away if they climbed to the highest point of the roof and looked around, so they could clearly see most of the situation in the mansion.

When these two huge Buddhas suddenly appeared, Mu Jiasong was startled, but then he thought about the purpose of their visit and instantly calmed down again.

He was not worried at all that the Emperor and the Imperial Master would be in danger in his mansion. Anyway, there would be the Dragon Guards and the Imperial Master's guards protecting them in secret. He only needed to manage the people in the mansion and prevent them from disturbing the guests.
