Chapter 1287: Catching All of Them in One swoop Chapter 1287: Catching All of Them in One swoop None of the officials ‘butts were clean.
If they didn’t go overboard, it was fine to turn a blind eye.
However, their actions were simply beasts.
Just human lives alone accounted for a lot.
Some even colluded with sect forces.
If he didn’t care, he wouldn’t be an official!
These captured officials might have the same thoughts.
…
Wasn’t the Marquis of Nancheng ruthless?
Impartial?
If we can’t escape, then we’ll bite out more people.
Let’s see if you dare to capture them.
Perhaps in their opinion, with so many officials involved, if they were really arrested, many departments would be paralyzed, and there would be a serious shortage of officials.
The government decrees would not work.
Although the evidence was conclusive and it did not seem wrong, it was still a great merit.
However, many people would be offended, including almost all factions.
The Emperor might not be happy.
His gaze was firm and sonorous.” There are things to do and things not to do.
After this matter, no matter what the outcome is, I will accept it!”
He looked at them.
“What about you guys?”
“Brother, I’ll accompany you!” Ding Yi said.
Jiu Xuanji, Tie Changlin, and the others were not cowards.
They had no way out at this point.
They had to keep going.
Even Zhang Ronghua was willing to risk everything.
What was there to be afraid of?
They were not fighting alone.
They had factions and backers.
It was over if they fought!
They all nodded, their gazes determined.
Zhang Ronghua ordered,” Gather all the members of the True Dragon Palace and the Scarlet Heaven Palace.
Capture them all according to the list.
Kill anyone who dares to resist.
I will take responsibility for anything that happens!”
“Yes, sir!” Everyone accepted the order.
Split up.
Whoosh!
Jiu Xuanji’s signal flare rose above the government office.
Upon seeing the signal flare, no matter what the people from the two departments were doing, they rushed over immediately.
Violators would be severely punished!
When everyone was gathered, they would arrest people according to the name list together with the people from the government office.
The moment the people who were paying attention to the government office saw the signal flare, they guessed that something big was going to happen.
As time went by, more and more people were arrested, and they fell into an endless cycle again.
There were no signs of it stopping.
The higher-ups were all panicking, and the first one to lose his cool was Grand Secretary Cui.
At first, it was fine, but now, many of his men had been arrested.
His subordinates had used He Wenxuan as their capital to get to the mansion.
After some thought.
Grand Secretary Cui decided to go to Shangjing to see what was going on.
He ordered his men to prepare a carriage and rode over.
At the government office.
When Zhang Ronghua heard the news, he had Ding Yi stay in the prison and receive Grand Secretary Cui in the hall.
Only the two of them were there, and Jiu Xuanji stood guard outside.
He brewed a pot of tea and poured two cups.
He handed one cup over and said calmly,”I didn’t expect you to come too.”Â
This was a person with great wisdom.
Even the opposing factions respected him.
Grand Elder Cui slowly took a sip of his tea, as if what happened next had nothing to do with him.
He put down his teacup and smiled gently.” The commotion here is too big.
If I hadn’t come over, the door would have been broken.”
He asked.
“What happened?”
“Black Demon Army!” Zhang Ronghua said.
Grand Secretary Cui knew about this case.
He had attacked the government office’s property and used the Black Demon Bead, which was more powerful than the Flame Thunder Bead, and the Heavenly Thunder Talisman.
The mastermind had not been found out yet, so he couldn’t just let it go.
Otherwise, it would cause serious damage.
“I shouldn’t have come.” He shook his head.
“In officialdom, one can’t help oneself.”
” Have you thought about how to deal with this?” Grand Elder Cui asked.
It referred to the subsequent revenge of the various factions.
“You know me well.
Do you think I’ll be afraid?” Zhang Ronghua asked instead of answering directly.
” I admire only two people in my life!” Grand Elder Cui poured a cup of tea for him and another for himself.
“It’s not easy to be someone you admire.” Zhang Ronghua was curious.
“The first is Old Master.
He is selfless and wholeheartedly thinks for the people of Great Xia.
He shoulders everything alone.
If not for him, Great Xia would not be as stable as it is now!
Let’s not talk about the outside for now, just the inside alone, those guys have already jumped out.”
“The Headmaster is indeed admirable!” Zhang Ronghua agreed.
” The second person is you,” Grand Elder Cui continued.
“Me?”
“Not bad.” Grand Secretary Cui nodded.
“You rose too quickly.
Previously, in the Scholar Hall, you had fought against Wen Xuan so many times, but he was still suppressed.
If it wasn’t for this old man’s effort to help, forget about continuing to be an official, he was afraid that he would be sent in by you.
The second is ability.
Putting aside the interests of the faction, the feys you developed in the Spirit Research Department and the contributions you made in the ZhongTian camp will be remembered by future generations.”
He paused for a moment and changed his tone.
” The Wu Tribe and the Five Elements Tribe have already been destroyed.
If I’m not mistaken, the Jin Kingdom will be destroyed soon.
It’s funny that they’re still jumping around and can’t see the situation clearly.”
“It’s my honor to be valued by you!” Zhang Ronghua laughed heartily.
Cui Ge said,” I hope that you can stay in the officialdom forever.
With you around, the people of Xia will live better and the country will become stronger.
Personally, I wish that you would lose your official position and be demoted to a commoner.
It’s best if you are sent to a remote corner and never come back.”
Zhang Ronghua admired him for being able to distinguish between gratitude and resentment.
“I’m not satisfied with you.
I’m also very tired!
“The government office, the military, and other matters are all on my shoulders.
If I really want to let go of everything and walk around with my loved ones, appreciate the magnificent mountains and rivers of Great Xia, and leave my footprints in every place, I don’t have to worry about trifles and schemes.
But I can’t.
Just like this time, when you came over, your subordinates forced me to move, and I was the same.
Once I retreat, these political enemies in the imperial court will join forces and take down Ding Yi and the others.
None of them will be able to escape, even if I don’t think for myself.
He had to think for them.”
“Sigh!” Grand Elder Cui sighed helplessly.
Although he held great power and could decide the life and death of countless people, he still had to do things he was unwilling to do.
He smiled freely.
“This old man is about to reach the end.”
“Where do you plan to go after you retire?” asked Zhang Ronghua.
“Didn’t you just say that?” Grand Elder Cui looked into the distance.
I’ve traveled to every corner of Grand Xia and admired the magnificent rivers and mountains.
This old man has worked hard for the country and the people until now.
When I’m old, I also want to see it and draw a perfect end to my life.”
The conversation between the two of them was like a friend who had forgotten their age.
Mo Qi ‘an stopped at the door and said something.
Jiu Xuanji pushed the door open and came in.” Qinglin, Grand Secretary Zeng is here!” he said in a deep voice.
