Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

"what?"

"Force?"

"Why are they here?"

"Come quickly, there are dug graves here."

A shout from the crowd completely angered the people who came to watch.

For them, the dead are the most important, and they would find it shameful if anyone digs up someone's grave in the middle of the night.

Without waiting for the Jingzhao Yin to arrive, the people searched everywhere they could around them.

They saw the shovels brought by the imperial guards and the shattered bodies beside the bombed graves.

People were panicked for a while.

All kinds of speculations are flying around.

When the Jingzhao Yin and his men arrived in a hurry, the people had already begun to spontaneously move the fallen rocks that had destroyed the Taoist temple.

"First, disperse these people."

Jingzhao Yin also felt a headache when he saw the tragic scene in front of him.

He felt a headache especially when he saw the charred corpses that had been carried carelessly by the people on the roadside, with the imperial guards tokens still in their hands.

The people's emotions began to rise as they were driven away by the officials.

There was no other way but for the Jingzhao Yin to ask the officials to draw their swords and declare their sovereignty.

The people all complained, but were forced to leave because of the swords in the hands of the officials.

The Jingzhao Yin looked at the Baiyun Temple in front of him, which had long since turned into ruins, and beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down his forehead.

This matter is of great importance and is beyond the control of a small Jingzhao Yin like him.

There are many Taoists in Baiyun Temple, and the abbot has always been respected by the world. If the matter is not handled properly, not only him but also the emperor will be criticized by the world.

He called the officer next to him and whispered a few words to him.

The official rode back to the city overnight.

Even though the Jingzhao Yin had tried his best to control the situation, the people who arrived there first still spread the news of the situation.

Within a few days, rumors spread in the capital that the imperial guards' grave-digging had angered heaven, causing thunder and earthquakes, and harming hundreds of Taoist priests in Baiyun Temple.

royal palace.

"Waste...a bunch of waste. Why did the imperial guards get involved when the earthquake was clearly caused by thunder?" The teacup in Zhao Mingyao's hand flew out and hit Jingzhao Yin on the forehead.

Jingzhao Yin was terrified. He kept knocking his head, ignoring the pain in his head. "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down..."

"Calm down! How can I calm down? Didn't I order you to silence those people that day? Is this what you did? Ah..."

"Your Majesty, when I arrived there that day, many people had already gathered there. Even if I wanted to stop them..."

"Then kill them all, you idiot. Are you going to let them spread these rumors everywhere?"

The Jingzhao Yin knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head.

Kill them all?

He doesn't dare, wouldn't that arouse public anger?

Those people are not just from one village. People from the three surrounding villages are all there. How can he take action?

But he didn't dare to say this, let alone ask.

"Get out! I'll give you three days. If the rumors in the capital haven't been dispelled after three days, you'll go down and accompany those Taoist priests who died!" Zhao Mingyao said it unintentionally.

But it made me suddenly enlightened.

Yes!

Since the people are saying that the imperial guards made a mistake, why not let...

His gaze lingered for a moment outside the imperial study door, and then the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Jingzhao Yin finally stood up and was about to leave when he heard Zhao Mingyao say, "Wait a minute..."

Jingzhao Yin didn't know what he was going to do, so he bent over and waited there.

Zhao Mingyao waved to Eunuch Yu beside him and whispered something in his ear.

Although Eunuch Yu's face was calm, he was actually very excited.

I have a better understanding of His Majesty's ruthlessness.

"Go for it!"

Eunuch Yu took the order and withdrew, then walked to the side of Jingzhao Yin and whispered something.

When leaving the imperial study, the Jingzhao Yin's gaze lingered on the commander of the imperial guards for a moment.

Then he shook his head and left.

They were busy cleaning up the mess, and Leng Youran wasn't idle either.

He rested in the space during the day and split up with Li Tianze at night.

It took them three days to figure out all the connections between Yingchun Hall, Xiaowen Pavilion, Sizhaoju and other places.

And unexpectedly, he got two residences of their subordinates.

The three of them discussed it and felt that since they were short of manpower, they could not just rely on the heads sent by Zhao Mingyao, and these people could not be left behind.

"I'm going to the Ji Mansion tonight. Tianze, you take Uncle Li and the others and wait there. You can take action when I arrive."

"Okay, be careful."

"Ah."

The two discussed everything in the space. You Xian watched from the side and tried to offer help several times but was rejected by Leng Youran.

Leng Youran knew what You Xian was thinking. Seeing that he was not interested, he moved closer to him and said, "Master, it's not that I don't want you to go, but your health is the most important thing. If anything goes wrong with you, what will I do..."

Seeing that she was about to start playing the victim again, You Xian quickly interrupted her, "Okay, okay, I won't go, okay? I'll just watch from the space, okay!"

"Okay, that's great."

Seeing her like this, You Xian felt helpless.

At nightfall, the two came out of the space and headed straight towards the capital.

The two separated at the city gate. Leng Youran flew towards Ji Mansion, while Li Tianze went to the place agreed with Uncle Li.

"dong dong dong..."

"Who?"

"It's me, Sister Qing."

When Ji Wanqing heard Leng Youran's voice, she got up from the bed, put on a coat and went to open the door.

"Hurry, Ran'er, come in."

The two entered the house. Leng Youran first looked at Ji Wanqing and saw that her face had become much rosier.

Then he said, "Sister Qing, I've been busy these past two days and haven't had time to visit you. Tonight I came to ask you if you've decided when to take action."

Ji Wanqing pulled her to sit beside the bed and said, "I've been using the potion you gave me these past two days and I've gotten much better. I think it'll only take these two days. Is that okay?"

"Okay, just do what you want. Don't worry about what happens next. And this, I got it from my master. It's much better than what you prepared yourself. Take it." Leng Youran said as he stuffed the white porcelain bottle in his hand into Ji Wanqing's hand.

"Okay, thank your master for me, and later..."

Leng Youran waved her hand and said, "You'll have a chance to thank me in person later. Okay, Sister Qing, I have things to do, so I won't talk to you any more."

Seeing her hurried appearance, Ji Wanqing swallowed what she wanted to say and said, "Well, go ahead, pay attention..."

Leng Youran came and left quickly. Before Ji Wanqing could finish her words to remind her to be careful, Leng Youran was no longer in the room.

When Chunyu came in, he saw his young lady staring at the white porcelain bottle in her hand in a daze.
