"Chen Ci, you have to be lucky that Zhang Hu is not an expert in Feng Shui, let alone geology. He is just an artist who plays ancient tricks among the people, and then pretends to be rich in order to make a living.

Thaumaturgy.”

What? Chen Ci couldn't help but relax, and heard the superior Yuan Emperor sneer again: "The mine today is definitely not a mine, you can rest assured, but can my father-in-law explain to me why we need to search for ore?"

"Your Majesty, what the common people are looking for is not a mine. It's really a dragon vein. It's really a dragon vein. It's for your majesty!" Chen Ci couldn't admit it even after being bitten to death. He kowtowed desperately: "The common people don't know what Zhang Hu said, but since this man is a liar, he must be

It’s full of nonsense!”

Chen Ci had told Zhang Hu that he was not looking for minerals. The group of people led by Zhang Hu only knew that they were looking for dragon veins. Therefore, apart from him, only a few people around Chen Ci knew about it.

The boy who went out didn't know either.

It wasn't a mine, and Zhang Hu was dead, and the only ones left were the people around him. Chen Ci squeezed his hands tightly, sweat was falling down his spine, his palms were hot, and he was extremely nervous.

, with a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning."

Emperor Yuan looked at Chen Ci's defeated face and saw a hint of joy in it: "Why bother with this? There is no airtight wall in the world. It's a pity that your wall has been broken. You don't even know it. You think you are smart. Now,

It’s time for some ventilation.”

"Your Majesty..." Chen Ci's body was shaking like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, and he looked particularly trembling. At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the backyard. The sound was sharp and cruel, and it made people's brains numb!

Emperor Yuan said calmly: "If you don't speak, someone will speak. That Zhang Hu is not of high origin, do you think he is someone who can keep his mouth shut?"

Yes, why did Meng Tianqi behead Zhang Hu without any explanation?

Not only because what this tiger is looking for is not some kind of mine, but because this person is no longer useful!

There are people who have more weight to speak than him, so why should he be left as a folk liar!

Chen Ci was so heartbroken that she couldn't even think about where Emperor Yuan knew it from. After all, the Chen family no longer had any leverage. He personally took charge of the matter. How could he still get the news and allow Emperor Yuan to seize such a huge advantage?

.

"Father-in-law, it is true that no gold mine was discovered today. The crime of private gold mining cannot be proven. It is a pity that you intended to search for gold mines. I wonder whether according to the laws of this dynasty, you should be convicted of deliberate rebellion?"

If Qin Feng were here, he would know the difference between the two things based on the legal knowledge obtained from later generations. One is the established fact, and the other is the difference between the motive but the action has not been completed. To be more professional, it is the completed crime fact and the commission of the crime.

The difference between attempts.

Chen Ci knew the laws of the dynasty, and private mining was regarded as treason. As Emperor Yuan said, he was now considered to be deliberately treason, but the big thing was not accomplished. He was sweating for a moment, and at this time, another shrill scream came from the backyard.

, higher and higher for a while.

This was tantamount to a sharp knife pulling back and forth on his heart and liver. Chen Ci's psychological defense finally collapsed: "The common people are willing to obey His Majesty's punishment. I just ask Your Majesty to spare the lives of the entire Chen family. The common people are willing to pay any price!"

Eunuch Hong's eyelids drooped slightly and he looked at his toes. Just as he expected, the abbot jumped in.

Chen Ci was lying on the ground, not daring to raise his head. Emperor Yuan played with the thumb ring on his hand for a while, and finally said: "Except the Queen and the Marquis of Zhenbei, the rest of the Chen family should not stay in the court."

When Chen Ci heard this, his whole body trembled even more violently. This was to make all the officials of the Chen family resign!

"If you can't do it, just raise your head and see me." Emperor Yuan sneered: "I have been on the throne for a long time, but my heart is softer than before."

When Chen Ci heard this, he even swallowed his saliva. After today's incident, the entire clan would be wiped out. Emperor Yuan's move can be said to be handled with care. What else would he not want to do: "The common people will definitely accomplish this."

Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

He paused and then said: "The common people met Prince Rui a few days ago and heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs suffered a lot due to the shipwreck. The ordinary people are willing to donate half of their family property to help the Ministry of Internal Affairs tide over the difficulties. Please grant your permission!"

Hey, if Eunuch Hong wanted to marry his daughter to His Majesty, he was a gambler.

Now that he is held in the palm of His Majesty's hand, he realizes that this is not showing filial piety to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This is using his family property to pay off his sins and show filial piety to His Majesty.

King Rui actually became the raft and didn't even know it.

"In that case, I would like to thank my father-in-law for the emperor's brother's good life. By the way, the spring palace is coming soon, so Chen's departure should be left after the spring palace is over." After Emperor Yuan finished speaking, he stood up and left.

Chen Ci's heart skipped a beat, and she understood what Emperor Yuan meant. The Spring Festival was about to begin. Emperor Yuan would not allow the Chen family to make matters worse, so that the candidates could prepare for the exam with peace of mind. However, after the Spring Festival ended, all the men of the Chen family would leave the court collectively, and they would be able to give Jinshi

How many seats do we have available?

Emperor Yuan calculated carefully and figured out that this was the right time. The Chen family was going to create a trap for the new Jinshi!

Chen Cigong sent Emperor Yuan away and thought of holding a clan meeting to announce the matter. The brothers and descendants of the same clan hated him so much that they might tear his skin off. His scalp tightened, but this was the only way to save his life! Save the whole clan.

Fate up and down!

Thinking of this, he closed his eyes fiercely, and in one thought, just for the sake of ambition, he put the fate of the entire family in the hands of the emperor!

Besides, after leaving the Chen Mansion, Eunuch Hong followed Emperor Yuan thoughtfully. Emperor Yuan was on a private visit incognito. The guards were all nearby. They were just like a pair of ordinary masters and servants. He sped up a few steps to catch up, feeling as if

Something to think about.

"You want to ask why you didn't take the opportunity to capture the entire Chen family and punish them with death or exile?" Emperor Yuan put his hands behind his back.

When Eunuch Hong was told the central issue, he laughed and said, "I really didn't understand it thoroughly."

"After all, it's because of the hundreds of thousands of troops." Emperor Yuan sighed: "He is the nominal legitimate son of the Chen family. If he moves too harshly, wouldn't it give him a reason to rebel? How can we send this knife to him?

He defended the border, but I killed his family."

"If he uses this as a reason to rebel, do you think the Zhenbei Army will support or oppose it?" Emperor Yuan sneered and said, "The fate of the Chen family must be cautious."

That was the case. When Eunuch Hong thought of that scene, he couldn't help but shudder. If Chen Tianxiao really found a reason to rebel, the Chen family's affairs might really be used by him. No wonder His Majesty dealt with it in such a low-key manner after getting such a big deal.

It is easy to kill all the Chen family, but if Chen Tianxiao becomes angry and rebels for his relatives, shouldn't he just take advantage of the situation? Eunuch Hong thought that things in this world are so difficult, and he cannot just look at one side.

But, "I think your Majesty's... master's handling is very good." Eunuch Hong looked around and lowered his voice.

Emperor Yuan glanced at him and said with a smile: "You old slave is getting better and better at talking."

"It's rare for the master to come out. Do you want to go back to the palace for a while?" Eunuch Hong said with a smile: "I heard that Yuchun Restaurant has launched many new dishes recently, so why not go there and have a look."
