He thought for a moment, then said with a hint of meaning, "Didn't Luo Zheng discover a gold mine on the island? Mining it would surely require a lot of manpower. However, I heard there are strong winds at sea, so accidents could easily happen."

Emperor Taihe looked at him deeply and said: "Since mining requires manpower, let them all go to mine."

A simple sentence can determine the fate of countless people.

Previously, because Jia Sheng was arrested for plotting against the Jiang family and confessed that Chen Shou's biological father was the patriarch of the Jia family's direct branch, Emperor Taihe sent Luo Zheng to thoroughly investigate the Jia family's direct branch.

However, at that time, Luo Zheng mainly arrested the direct branches of the Jia family, and rarely arrested the side branches.

This time, Emperor Taihe intended to exterminate the Jia family, so he directly ordered the arrest of all members of the Jia family, including some important in-laws.

Sent to Langhuan Island for mining.

The charges were ready-made: the Jia family colluded with pirates, engaged in smuggling trade, and were also involved in the Xiaoyao Pill case.

Moreover, Jia Rui assassinated King Zhou and poisoned him, causing him to suffer a stroke and become paralyzed.

These charges are enough to exterminate the Jia family.

Emperor Taihe simply exiled them to an island to mine, which could be considered merciful.

The Jia family in the capital.

"Ah - what are you doing? Let me go - do you know who I am? Let me go -"

Jia Xuan screamed, her face full of horror as she was dragged out of the room by the Black Qilin Guards and tied up with ropes.

Father and Mother Jia were also dragged out.

There are also Jia Sheng’s wives, concubines and children.

Everyone's face was filled with panic, and some people were so scared that they burst into tears.

Soon, these people were tied into a long row with ropes and dragged out by the Black Qilin Guards.

On the street outside the door, some people looked on curiously, while others turned pale and did not dare to look at the Black Kirin Guards, for fear of being caught in the crossfire.

It was not until the Jia family members were dragged away that the onlookers began to discuss the matter in low voices.

"They were all arrested. Does anyone know what they committed?"

"I don't know, but it must be a big deal!"

"I heard that it was the direct branch that committed a serious crime, and they were implicated."

"What? I heard Jia Sheng was guilty of a lot of things. Someone wanted to blow up the Taiping Coal Mine before, and it was related to Jia Sheng! It was only because his sister was once the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family that they let him off the hook and didn't implicate his family members!"

"You might not know this, but the Xiaoyao Pill that harmed people before was related to Jia Sheng!"

"I heard that he was having an affair with Chen Shou!"

"No wonder the Jiang family divorced Jia's daughter. Her brother had committed so many crimes. How could the Jiang family continue to keep this marriage?"

"That's not true. I also heard that when Princess Fu'an was nearly bitten by a vicious dog, it was this Jia Sheng who plotted behind the scenes! This guy is so vicious! Jiang Chi is his brother-in-law, and not only did he plot behind her back, he even didn't let a little girl like Princess Fu'an go!"

"That's right, it's absolutely insane, worse than an animal!"

"But the Jia family girl is really pitiful. She met a brother like this, and her happy family was broken up."

"Why should she be pitiful? The Jiang family didn't divorce her just because of Jia Sheng!"

"What's that for?"

"Hey, I heard that this woman is actually not a faithful wife and is having an affair with Chen Shou!"

"Huh? Is this true? Didn't they say Jia Sheng and Chen Shou were having an affair? How come she's also having an affair with Chen Shou?"

"Of course it's true, how could it be fake? Don't you know? Chen Shou's peach blossom eyes can seduce even a dog, let alone a young woman like her who has been lonely for a long time? Her husband has been away from home for a long time, and how can a delicate young lady like her bear the loneliness?"

Everyone was talking, and the topic soon turned to Jia Xuan.

In fact, the Jiang family did not know that Jia Xuan had someone in her heart, and they would not let anyone spread such rumors to affect Jiang Chi's reputation.

But that's how rumors are, they can easily change as they spread.

What's more, the Jiang family divorced Jia Xuan in the past, so it was inevitable that some people in the capital would make random speculations.

In addition, Chen Shou seduced many female relatives, so it was inevitable that some people would guess that it was Jia Xuan.
