The eldest son is fierce

Qi Wendao's face was also extremely ugly. The development of things was completely beyond his expectations.

He thought that by sending people to burn, kill and loot everywhere, and spreading Liang Rong's story throughout the capital, he could sit back and watch the fight between the two tigers, and watch the emperor chop down the empress.

The result? Before the drama even began, the knife fell on them.

A bet cost them hundreds of thousands of dan of grain, which directly destroyed ***'s plan.

If that crazy woman returns to Kyoto, I don’t know how she will deal with them.

That woman is someone even the Prime Minister is wary of. How can they afford to offend her?

"Calm down, everyone. You've all been in the officialdom for decades, and you still don't have this much composure?"

Qi Wendao slapped the table, and the noisy hall became quiet.

Everyone's eyes fell on Qi Wendao. "Concentration?" Now that Tang Yi has messed you up like this, you're still trying to teach us about concentration?

Although Qi Wendao was so angry that his veins were throbbing, he disguised himself very well at this time and still looked like everything was under control.

He held up the teacup, took a sip and said, "Isn't it just 100,000 dan of grain? Just think of it as a funeral offering for Tang Yi. What's the big deal?"

"One hundred thousand dan of grain might be enough to provide relief to the refugees, but what does it mean to the nearly one million people in Kyoto?"

Qi Wendao calmly put down his teacup, his eyes swept over everyone, and said lightly: "Whether Kyoto is in chaos or not, we have the final say. This is our advantage."

"So there's nothing to worry about. We already sent people to disrupt the entire capital last night. Now the entire Jingzhao Prefecture is probably in chaos."

"With so many cases, even if Tang Yi were to investigate for ten years, he wouldn't be able to figure it out."

Everyone was originally very angry, but after hearing what Qi Wendao said, they suddenly understood.

Yes, we destroyed the entire Kyoto last night and did almost everything we could. It is Tang Yi who should be worried and crying now. Why should we be in such a hurry?

We are not in a hurry. The ones who should be in a hurry are Tang Yi and the Emperor!

"Haha, Mr. Qi is still wise!" Everyone complimented him quickly.

"Of course, this alone is not enough. We should indeed fight back."

Qi Wendao waved his hand. He didn't want Tang Yi and the emperor to be so rampant. Did they really treat them as decorations?

Since the emperor and Tang Yi like to play, then play them until they can't take care of themselves.

Qi Wendao leaned back against the imperial chair, his hands folded in his lap, and said, "Your Majesty has taken the wrong path. As your subjects, we must advise Your Majesty to follow the right path, to be close to virtuous ministers and stay away from villains."

"In order to get Your Majesty back on the right path, I will make the following arrangements."

"First, pass on the order. Within three days, everyone must cooperate with the major families in Kyoto to clear all grain from the market in Kyoto and drive up the price of rice to an unprecedented high."

"Second, immediately unite all civil and military officials to jointly impeach Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Tang Yi."

"I want to see which one Your Majesty chooses between Tang Yi and the stability of Kyoto."

After hearing Qi Wendao's words, the whole hall suddenly became noisy.

"Qi Laogao, haha, now is the time when the people are getting rich. By raising the rice price, we can make a lot of money."

"Haha, we control all the food in Kyoto. Without food, even if Tang Yi has three heads and six arms, he will be helpless."

"This should have been done long ago. Let His Majesty and Tang Yi see clearly that there is a price to pay for being arrogant."

"This time, I must have His Majesty personally order the execution of Tang Yi."

"..."

Everyone in the hall was excited, as if they had already seen the scene of Tang Yi's head falling to the ground.

Qi Wendao looked at this scene and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Very good, everyone's emotions and hatred have been mobilized, then the next thing will be easy.

He wanted Tang Yi to vomit out the 100,000 dan of grain he had eaten.

Moreover, he must die without a burial place!

"Master, Master, something has happened, something terrible has happened..."

At this time, the doorman came crawling in, disrupting Qi Wendao's thoughts.

"Why are you panicking? What happened? Tell me."

Qi Wendao's face looked grim. Something had just happened to the housekeeper, causing them to lose 100,000 dan of grain. Now even the servants were frightened. Wouldn't this make people think that the servants of his Qi family were uneducated?

"Outside...there are Jinyiwei outside. Master, the Qi Mansion is surrounded!" The doorman pointed at the gate and said in panic.

"what?!"

Qi Wendao and all the ministers in the hall stood up instantly.

Just now they were all very excited and wanted to kill Tang Yi, but now everyone's expression has changed and it is difficult to remain calm.

Surrounded by Jinyiwei?

What does this mean?

Is Emperor Yanwen crazy and wants to attack them first?

Impossible? How dare he?

Everyone's thoughts were in a mess when a familiar voice came from outside the door.

"Hmm? So many people are gathered here? You all gathered here, have you come up with some evil plan to deal with me again?"

Qi Wendao and a group of ministers looked in the direction of the sound and saw Tang Yi, wearing the bright red official robe of the Jingzhao prefect, walking in quickly from outside.

Following beside him was a woman in a black dress.

Behind him was the mighty Jinyiwei led by Ning Chuan and Prince of Yan Xiao Di.

"Tang Yi, what do you want to do?"

"You have no right to enter my Shangshu Mansion. Are you planning a rebellion?"

Qi Wendao lost his composure when he saw this scene, and his heart began to feel uneasy.

In the past, he didn't believe that Emperor Yanwen would dare to be so arrogant.

But ever since he got involved with Tang Yi, the emperor's ambition and courage seem to have grown.

Even the Minister of Revenue had his house raided, so it seems not impossible to raid the house of the Minister of Rites as well.

"Don't be afraid, Mr. Qi. I'm not here to confiscate your property. I'm just here to handle a case."

Tang Yi entered the hall and sat directly next to Qi Wendao. He said, "Before we start the case, how about you first tell me how you plan to deal with me so that I can be prepared?"

When Qi Wendao heard Tang Yi say that he was here to investigate a case, his eyes narrowed. Could it be that the person he sent out last night had left some evidence for Tang Yi to catch?

No, that's impossible. The person who came back last night said that he didn't leave any clues.

Tang Yi must be trying to trick them. He knew that last night's case must be related to them, and he must be trying to force them to reveal their true identity first.

Thinking of this, Qi Wendao calmed down, but before he could say anything, Tang Yi's voice came.

"Actually, I know your next plan, needless to say."

Tang Yi poured himself a cup of tea, raised the cup and gestured towards Qi Wendao, saying, "It's nothing more than starting with food. After all, some people want to cause chaos in Kyoto. How can Kyoto be in chaos if the food in Kyoto is not cleared out?"

"Old Qi, to be honest, you guys are not very capable. You are the Prime Minister's confidants, but I knew about this plan before you did, and I even used a trick to take away hundreds of thousands of dan of grain from you."

"Honestly, I feel sorry for you."
