Chapter 168 The Angry Official!
After Madam Xue left Taiqian Palace.
Su Mengjiao's voice came from behind Ye Chen.
"Emperor, this matter will definitely alarm the powerful ministers. You have found He Shuilian's family, and this matter cannot be concealed."
Su Mengjiao realized almost immediately that if Nanny He was really a pawn planted by the powerful official, then her family would definitely be closely watched by the powerful official.
"I know."
Ye Chen nodded, then smiled and said, "Queen Dowager, no matter what, as soon as we get the evidence, I will immediately arrest those two censors. Even if Yang Dechang knows about it, what can he do? With all the evidence, how can he still cause trouble?"
Hearing this, Su Mengjiao walked out from behind Ye Chen and looked at him with a complicated expression.
"In that case, Emperor, you can do as you please."
Su Mengjiao said nothing more and walked towards the gate of Taiqian Palace.
Looking at Su Mengjiao's receding back, Ye Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that after capturing the two imperial censors, he must use them as a breakthrough point to try to catch more treacherous officials.
Planting spies in the palace is enough to kill all nine generations of the clan!
Maybe this time, even the Grand Censor, one of the Three Dukes, could be dragged into this mess.
One of Yang Dechang's arms was chopped off.
At this time, the palace gate.
As soon as Yang Dechang stepped over the threshold, Chen Xiu hurried to his side.
"Prime Minister, something terrible has happened!"
Hearing this, Yang Dechang turned and looked at Chen Xiu.
"Let's go to my carriage and talk!"
Yang Dechang turned around and walked quickly to the side of the carriage. Immediately, a servant knelt on the ground and used his back as a ladder for him.
"I have something to discuss with Master Chen and Master Gao!"
As Yang Dechang stepped into the sedan chair, he gave instructions to the servant beside him.
The servants immediately understood and stood out, forming a circle to protect the carriage inside.
"Tell me, what happened?"
Yang Dechang sat upright in the carriage, staring at Chen Xiu with deep eyes.
"Prime Minister, Wu Ba is dead."
Chen Xiu said with a rather gloomy expression.
"Ok?"
Yang Dechang's brows were tightly furrowed.
Although he has many subordinates, warriors like Wu Ba are hard to come by.
"Who did it?"
Yang Dechang's tone was very low, and his eyes became particularly sharp, like a knife blade.
He was both angry and confused as to who could have killed Wu Ba.
You have to know that Wu Ba is not only a martial arts expert, but also a careful person. In the past, when he was carrying out a mission, even if he failed, he could still escape successfully.
"It seems to be the emperor."
"The emperor left the palace?"
Yang Dechang was a little surprised, then his face turned grim. He said, "I didn't expect the young emperor to think so highly of that brothel. Damn it! I've lost a brave warrior!"
"Prime Minister, not only is Wu Ba dead, but the people he imprisoned have also been captured by the young emperor!"
Chen Xiu said with a hint of urgency in his voice.
"what?"
Yang Dechang's body trembled slightly. Even though he was a shrewd man, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's bad. The hidden chess piece in the palace will definitely bite around, and the little emperor will definitely make a big fuss about this."
"Prime Minister, what should we do?"
Chen Xiu asked anxiously.
His people have always been in charge of this kind of secret dealings in the palace.
If we really start to investigate carefully, we will definitely find out that he is the one who is responsible.
"The young emperor is adept at manipulating power, so we must not take it lightly. So, send word out, have someone immediately go to Pu Ye and Wu An's homes and send all their families out of the capital. Have Cao Tao take them elsewhere and resettle them."
"Tell Pu Ye and Wu An that I may not be able to protect them this time, but they are not allowed to say a single word. If necessary, they will bear all the blame themselves!"
Yang Dechang spoke in a low voice. If Ye Chen wasn't too difficult to deal with, how could he not even be able to protect his own dog?
"it is good."
Chen Xiu sighed lightly. These two imperial censors had followed him for a long time, but now, he had no choice but to make drastic measures.
"And that brothel!"
Yang Dechang's eyes became sharp again, and he turned to look at Gao Yunhe beside him.
"Brother Dingfang, there are many of your family's descendants serving as officials in the city defense military department. How many people can you mobilize?"
"Prime Minister, one-third of these people are related to my Gao family and will give my Gao family this face."
"Okay! Then have your people wait for my orders, and then send someone to gather information near that brothel!"
Yang Dechang snorted softly and said, "Isn't that little emperor trying to get his hands on the city defense troops? This time, I'm not only going to get rid of that brothel, I'm also going to completely thwart his plans!"
"Prime Minister, if I let my people attack that brothel and anger the little emperor, will there be any danger?"
Gao Yunhe suddenly felt a little uneasy.
He knew Yang Dechang's methods.
He was really scared too.
"Brother Dingfang, don't worry. This time, I will come up with a foolproof plan that will definitely not harm anyone from your Gao family. I can also guarantee that after this, your Gao family will have complete control of the city defense force!"
Yang Dechang smiled slightly, his eyes suddenly became deep, and said.
Hearing this, Gao Yunhe completely put his worries aside.
"Prime Minister, there's one more thing. Li Hu is recovering from his illness after being caned, but a man named Su Fu has arrived at the Jingzhao Yin Mansion. He's quite powerful and is said to be a relative of the Empress Dowager. Furthermore, after taking control of the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, he began promoting his own people and continuously sending them to the Qinling Mountains."
Chen Xiu said with some uneasiness again.
Hearing this, Yang Dechang suddenly smiled coldly.
"Inform all officials in Jingzhao Prefecture to take leave and go on strike. Have Cao Tao outside the capital arrange for bandits to rob and pillage. Don't the young emperor and the empress dowager want to control the Jingzhao government? I'll keep Su Fu busy. If he dares to lead his men to suppress the bandits, I'll have him killed!"
Yang Dechang waved his hand, his tone full of murderous intent.
At this moment, because of Wu Ba's death, he was completely enraged. He didn't want to endure it anymore, but wanted to attack with all his strength to destroy all of Ye Chen's arrangements.
Give Ye Chen a warning and let him know that his people are not so easy to kill!
