The First Tyrant of Daxia

The six gentry were secretly escorted out of the palace by the imperial guards under the cover of night, and no one knew they had been there.

Not long after, the shadow guard who was sent out to investigate Boss Lei and Wang Ming came back.

"Your Majesty, I have found out that Boss Lei is one of Wang Ming's secret subordinates."

"I have heard that Wang Ming is a gambler and a womanizer. He is violent and likes to rob and plunder. But in order to get promoted, he has to pay attention to his reputation."

"So, this Boss Lei will help Wang Ming deal with some shady matters, and Wang Ming will rely on the power of the Wang family and his influence in the court to protect this bully."

"In the imperial capital, most people are angry but dare not speak out against Boss Lei. Even if they report to the authorities, it is useless."

Qin Yun sneered: "A great general is involved with hooligans, what a bastard!"

"What shameful things did Boss Lei do for him?"

The shadow guard replied: "They plundered the people's wealth, and also robbed women and sold contraband salt."

Hearing this, Qin Yun's eyes instantly turned cold.

This Wang Ming has committed some serious crimes!

"Have you found any evidence?"

The shadow guard said, "Your Majesty, the only charges we can convict are of robbing women from the people. It will take some time to convict them of smuggling salt and extorting military pay and civilians."

"Yeah." Qin Yun nodded. It had only been a few hours, and it was already good enough to find so much.

"Occupying a woman is not enough. Keep investigating and find solid evidence."

"Don't alert the enemy. If Boss Lei continues to be so arrogant for a few more days, I will not take action. But if I do, I will make sure that the entire Wang family ship sinks!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The shadow guard retreated.

Qin Yun let out a long breath and stretched. He was exhausted these past few days, fighting wits and courage every day.

"By the way, Mr. Feng, is there any news from Guo Ziyun?" he suddenly asked, turning his head.

"Your Majesty, Lord Guo just arrived in Chongzhou not long ago, but he sent someone to bring back a message saying that he has some clues, but it will take some time to check." Old Feng said behind him.

As Qin Yun walked towards the Imperial Garden, he said in surprise, "So fast? Guo Ziyun is an expert at investigating corruption!"

Elder Feng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, after all, this time I am going with your imperial decree, no one dares to stop me, so it will be convenient for me to do things."

"Besides, Lord Guo is well prepared and has asked his old friends in Chongzhou to help investigate."

Qin Yun grinned and praised: "Not bad, it depends on Guo Ziyun."

Elder Feng nodded, showing a hint of hesitation: "Your Majesty, there is one thing I want to report to you after thinking it over."

"Go ahead." Qin Yun admired the flowers, enjoying this rare comfort.

Elder Feng frowned and whispered, "Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine Yao has been getting herbs from the Imperial Hospital these days."

"Get some herbs?" Qin Yun turned around and frowned: "Is she sick?"

Elder Feng said, "According to the people at the Imperial Hospital, Imperial Concubine Yao said she had a cold body and took a lot of medicinal herbs."

"Among them... there are purple eggplant flowers!"

Purple eggplant flower?

Qin Yun frowned. He had heard of this medicinal herb before. It was a medicinal herb used by women to prevent pregnancy.

Elder Feng bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have checked and found that the prescription given by Imperial Concubine Yao is indeed a prescription for treating body cold."

"Are the people in the Imperial Hospital looking for death? Even if they are treating illnesses, they shouldn't use this kind of medicinal materials. Can't they replace them?!" Qin Yun said coldly.

"It was Imperial Concubine Yao who insisted on taking it." said Old Man Feng.

Hearing this, Qin Yun fell silent.

Thinking about what happened to the Pei family in the past, it was hard for Qin Yun not to think too much.

But he did not get angry. He just sighed and treated this matter as a pure treatment.

He slowly said, "Mr. Feng, you secretly had someone replace the horse nightshade flowers in the prescription. The disease still needs to be treated."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Old Feng nodded and asked no more questions.

……

Two days later.

Tai Chi Hall, early morning.

"Your Majesty, you promised us to re-examine the case of Concubine Wang, so why is there no follow-up?" Grand Historian Wang Yang, dressed in court robes, walked out and said.

Qin Yun's eyes were cold. This person was too sharp-tongued. He often bumped into him by relying on his power to write history books.

"Doesn't it take time to review it?"

Wang Yang raised his head and exerted pressure: "Your Majesty, this matter cannot wait any longer. Lord Wang is at home sick. If this continues, the scene at Xuanwu Gate that day may reappear."

Qin Yun no longer wanted to get angry, but looked at Wang Yang as if he were a dead person.

Guo Ziyun is still in Chongzhou investigating the evidence of Wang Wei's crimes, so he needs more time. Let him take a few days off.

After thinking for a while, Qin Yun stepped back again and said, "Okay, I know what's going on. I will personally leave the palace today and visit Lord Wang in the palace, and talk to him about this matter."

Hearing this, Wang Yang, Wang Ming and others looked at each other and had to stop giving advice.

They had made up their minds that if Qin Yun did not take concrete action this time, they would use the same old tricks again and put pressure on the emperor.

After the next court.

Tao Yang led a team of imperial guards to clear the way.

Elder Feng led the shadow guards to protect Qin Yun closely, and the team went to Wang Wei's Shangshu Mansion.

Also accompanying him in the gilded carriage were two generals, Xiao Jian and Yan Zhong.

"Your Majesty, are you saying that Lord Guo was ambushed?!" Xiao Jian said in slight surprise.

"Yes." Qin Yun nodded and said, "Before the morning court today, I just received news that if I hadn't sent the Imperial Guards to protect him, and the two Shadow Guards, I'm afraid he would have been in great danger."

"Humph!" Xiao Jian was furious and clenched his fists, saying, "This Wang Wei is so bold that he even dared to attack the imperial envoy!"

"Your Majesty, why not mobilize the troops directly!"

"You are the emperor. As long as you are quick enough, no one will dare to say anything even if you raid the Wang family!"

Qin Yun smiled faintly and looked at Yan Zhong: "My dear Yan, what do you think?"

Yan Zhong's face was firm and loyal. He clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I don't understand government affairs. I only listen to you. I will do whatever you say!"

Qin Yun nodded, very satisfied.

He sighed again, "Xiao Jian, what you said is too impulsive. Daxia has declined too quickly in recent years and can no longer withstand too much turmoil."

"Even if we want to eradicate the Wang family, we have to do it in a smooth transition."

Xiao Jian also understood this truth and sighed secretly. Wang Wei's group was deeply rooted and it was really difficult to eliminate it.

At this point, the imperial power is not enough to suppress him.

"Another point is that there is someone behind Wang Wei!" Qin Yun made a shocking guess.

Xiao Jian and Yan Zhong were shocked all over!

"Wang Wei already has great power in the court. Is there anyone above him?" Xiao Jian said in horror.

"Yes, of course!" Qin Yun closed his eyes and said calmly, "Princes from all over the country, royal relatives, it's all possible!"

Xiao Jian's face turned stern: "Your Majesty, you mean..."

Qin Yun nodded slightly: "He Baili is too stubborn, and the other little killers know too little, so I have no way to investigate. Now I can only guess that there is such a mastermind behind the scenes, but I don't know who it is."

"However, Wang Wei cannot be kept."

"I just need to buy time and wait for Lord Guo to return with the evidence."

"Since Wang Wei's group has sent someone to assassinate Lord Guo, it means Lord Guo has found out his weakness!"
