Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 402: Cleansing the Capital
"Father, I understand. You can rest assured that I will do my best to complete the task this time. However, Father, I need the Ministry of Justice and the Five Cities Military Command." Liu Changfeng said

"I can promise you all these. What else do you have? Tell me everything." Emperor Xining said

"Father, there is nothing else. Father, if you have no other instructions, I will take my leave first." Liu Changfeng said in a deep voice

After hearing this, Emperor Xining naturally didn't say anything else, so Liu Changfeng simply bowed and left the imperial study.

Emperor Xining looked at his departing back and could only shake his head helplessly. At this time, Liu Changfeng was very upset, but he did not show it.

Even after returning home, his face was always smiling and there seemed to be nothing unusual.

"Husband, you're back. I heard you went to the Imperial Study. How was it? Was there any trouble?" Yun'er saw him coming back and hurried forward to ask.
"Don't worry, ma'am. It's no big deal. My father gave me a task. It's nothing serious, so you don't have to worry." Liu Changfeng said with a smile

"Then I'm relieved. By the way, husband, you must be hungry. Let's go eat. I specially told the kitchen to make your favorite dishes today," Ye Yun said
"Now that you mention it, I'm really hungry. Let's go now." Liu Changfeng said

Then the couple went to have dinner. After the meal, Liu Changfeng asked someone to invite Luo Zishang over. When Luo Zishang learned that the prince wanted to see him, he did not delay at all.

"Sir, please take a seat. Let's sit down and talk slowly. Someone, bring the tea." Liu Changfeng said

Luo Zishang sat there obediently. He knew that today was not as simple as drinking tea.

"Sir, my father summoned me today and gave me a task. After thinking it over, I think I should discuss it with you. Here's what's going on." Liu Changfeng said

After hearing this, Luo Zishang understood clearly that the so-called discussing it with him actually meant letting him do it, although he did not want to get involved.

But in this situation, there was no room for him to refuse.

"Your Highness, this matter is not difficult to explain. The key is how to prevent the news from leaking out. After all, these people have been able to lie dormant for so many years, so I think they must have some tricks up their sleeves."

"It's not a big deal now that few people know about it, but it's hard to say about the Ministry of Justice. There's no guarantee that there won't be people from the Ministry of Justice among them, so I think we should be more cautious." Luo Zishang said

"Oh, sir, you and I are thinking the same thing. It is because I am worried about this that I did not go to the Ministry of Justice, but discussed it with you first."

"According to your opinion, what should we do next?" Liu Changfeng said

"Your Majesty, since this is His Majesty's order, we must do it. But how to do it is negotiable. First of all, we need to determine how many people there are."

"Since we are going to catch them, we must catch them all, so as not to leave a few fish that slip through the net. If we do that, it will be even more difficult to find them in the future." Luo Zishang said

"Well, sir, what you said makes sense. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you with this matter. After all, I don't have many suitable people." Liu Changfeng said

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I know what to do. Please give me some time. I will investigate the matter thoroughly." Luo Zishang said

"Okay, sir, then I'll leave everything to you. Sir, after this incident, your position will be able to move forward." Liu Changfeng said

After hearing this, Luo Zishang naturally understood what he meant, so he hurriedly thanked him and left. Liu Changfeng looked at his departing back, just smiled, and then walked out of the study.

At this time, Luo Zishang's side was a completely different scene. When he returned to the mansion, Luo Zishang did not rush to tell Ming Yi to give orders, but locked himself in the study.
This level lasted for a whole day, and even the next morning court session was taken off. At this time, Luo Zishang walked out of the study with a pale face, and then said, "Go find Jiang He for me."

"Sir, what's wrong with you? I'll call the imperial physician right now." Ming Yi said nervously.
"Okay, I'm fine. You should go find Jiang He as soon as possible. This matter is very important. After you finish this, go call the imperial physician. Go ahead." Luo Zishang waved his hand.
After hearing this, Ming clasped his fists and bowed, then turned around to get busy. At this time, Luo Zishang also returned to his study and waited quietly.

"What? You said Zishang wants to see me? Okay, okay, I'll go now, now." After hearing this, Jiang He hurried to ask for leave from the prince, and then hurried out of the palace.

When he saw the imperial physician following him, he obviously misunderstood something and wanted to ask, but in the end he didn't ask.

When he arrived at the mansion and saw the pale Luo Zishang, he could no longer hold back, "Zishang, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me, Zishang?"

"Master Jiang, if you have anything to say, please wait a minute. Let the imperial physician take a look first." Ming Yi hurriedly said

After hearing this, Jiang He nodded and stood aside waiting. The imperial physician then came forward to take his pulse, and soon his expression relaxed.

"Lord Luo, you have been thinking too much recently, which has caused you to be exhausted. You need to rest more, think less, and rest peacefully. You will be fine after a few days of recuperation." said the imperial physician
"Thank you, sir. Mingyi, please help me see you off." Luo Zishang said

After the imperial physician left, Jiang He couldn't help but ask, "Zishang, are you okay?"

"Haha, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. I'm not going to die yet. Put away your tricks. It makes me sick. Please take a seat. Let's talk slowly." Luo Zishang said

Jiang He, who had been insulted, was not angry at this time and sat down obediently.

"Jiang He, I invited you here this time to make a deal with you. Didn't you always want me to let those people go before? I can agree to it now." Luo Zishang said

"What? Zishang, are you telling the truth? Are you really willing to agree? Well, I get it, I get it, just tell me what you want, tell me." Jiang He said excitedly.

"Haha, as expected, Lord Jiang really cares about his family. Well, then I won't be polite. I want Bai Yujing. As long as you give it to me, I will release those people." Luo Zishang said with a smile

"Hmm? Zi Shang, you said you wanted Bai Yujing? What do you want it for? Don't you have one? Well, I won't ask anymore. If you want it, just take it."

"This is the token of Baiyujing. With this, you can command the people of Baiyujing at will." Jiang He took out a jade token and handed it to Luo Zishangdao.
Seeing this, Luo Zishang did not hesitate to take the jade token and put it away.

"Zi Shang, although I don't know what you are going to do, but remember, you can always call me if you have any questions." Jiang He said
"Okay, I understand. If there is nothing else, you can go back. I have things to do here." Luo Zishang said directly.

"Zi Shang, your body needs rest. You can't overwork yourself." Jiang Hedao
"I told you that you don't need to worry about these things. You can leave now." Luo Zishang said unhappily.

Jiang He moved his lips after hearing this, but in the end he left without saying a word. After he left, Luo Zishang started to get busy.

"Take the jade token and have our people contact Bai Yujing. Now that everything is ready, it's time to start." Luo Zishang ordered, "Sir, your body needs to rest now. I will take care of many things, so you should rest early." Ming said directly.

"Don't worry about me. Go and do what you need to do. I paid a huge price for this matter, so I must do it to perfection without any mistakes."

"Make sure to investigate all of them thoroughly, find out everything for me!" Luo Zishang said

After hearing this, Ming knew his young master's temper, so he could only clasp his fists and turn around to leave. Looking at his departing back, Luo Zishang coughed twice before he felt relieved.

After Jiang He came back, he naturally ordered people to find Bai Yujing's people immediately and told them that they had to follow Luo Zishang's orders in everything and tell him the orders.

That's right, Jiang He was still a little worried. After all, the intelligence network in his son's hands was not much worse than his own, but now he actually wanted his own.

This was something not right, so he naturally had to investigate it carefully to be at ease.

The energy that could be unleashed when the two intelligence organizations worked together was unimaginable, so everything progressed very quickly. In just three days, a large number of spies were found.

Among them are many high-ranking officials of the imperial court who are in collusion with those people. It can be said that you don’t know until you investigate, and you will be shocked when you investigate. These people are still betting on both sides until now.

Although this is understandable, the Liu family is now the emperor, so these things naturally cannot be allowed. The investigation continued for a few more days.

Liu Changfeng looked at the document in his hand. The contents recorded on it shocked him. After all, many of the people above seemed to be loyal ministers, loyal to their Liu family.

But now, looking at these names and what they did, Liu Changfeng couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion in his heart. It is true that you can only judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart.

"Sir, thank you for your hard work. I heard that you even went to Jiang He for this information. Sir, don't worry, I will never treat you unfairly."

"If this can be successfully completed, you will be the first to receive the credit." Liu Changfeng laughed.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. This is what I should do. I don't deserve your praise." Luo Zishang said

"Sir, you are so polite. Alright. I will not say any more polite words to you. I have to go to the palace now."

"Sir, please take my order and go to the Five Cities Military Department to mobilize troops." Liu Changfeng said

Naturally, Luo Zishang didn't say anything after hearing that, and Liu Changfeng didn't care about him. He took the documents and went out. Soon he entered the imperial study.

Emperor Xining was so shocked when he looked at the things in front of him that he couldn't recover for a long time. After all, many of the names on them were very surprising.

"Father, the people we have found out now should be all of them. Because this time the case involves too many people, I dare not make a decision. Please make a decision." Liu Changfeng bowed and said

"Yes, the implications this time are indeed not small, but no matter how big the implications are, we cannot let them go. If we want the long-term stability of the capital, this step must be taken."

"Chang Feng, just do it boldly. I will transfer some of the imperial guards to you. No matter who is involved this time, no matter who comes to plead for mercy, you should ignore them."

"All of them must be arrested by me. I must see them alive or dead!" Emperor Xining said

"Yes, your son obeys your command." After hearing this, Liu Changfeng naturally bowed hurriedly.

Holding the golden order, Liu Changfeng strode out of the imperial study. After his son left, Emperor Xining sat on the dragon throne somewhat powerlessly.

He didn't know whether his choice was right or wrong, and he didn't know how big a storm it would cause after this, but he finally decided to do it.

Because if he worried too much, he would undoubtedly leave all the troubles to his son, which he could not accept. He wanted to solve all the hidden dangers in his lifetime.

Leaving a court without hidden dangers to your sons is the only way to ensure long-term success.

At this time, Liu Changfeng didn't care about what his father thought. He had already led the imperial guards out of the palace. Because the noise was so loud, it could not be concealed at all.

Everyone was guessing what had happened, what kind of big incident had occurred, why had the prince gone mad again, and why would His Majesty allow him to act so recklessly?
Liu Changfeng doesn't care what these people think. In fact, there are spies from all sides in the palace, and there are even more of them. However, these can naturally be handled by his father, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

All he had to do was to clean up the capital, and he didn't need to worry about anything else.

Liu Changfeng led the imperial guards to the Wucheng Bingmasi and directly showed them the golden order, and then they obeyed obediently.

Following Liu Changfeng's order, the nine gates of the capital were closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Then a large-scale manhunt began, and the capital was in an uproar for a while.

Those who had something to hide were extremely anxious and tried to think of ways to save their lives. Everything went smoothly at first, but they soon ran into trouble.

"How dare you! I was the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel at that time. You are just so brave!"

"Haha, you are the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. You have great authority, but you can't scare me. Come on, kill everyone in the mansion!" Luo Zishang said in a deep voice.

"Luo Zishang, Luo Zishang, if you dare, you will not die well, you will not die well!"

Luo Zishang, who was leading the team, simply ignored the insults. As the entire family of the Minister of Personnel was killed, everyone became obedient and waited for their fate to come.

Although there are still some minor fluctuations, they are harmless. In the mansions with a lot of people, not many people dare to move. After all, the lessons of the past are vivid in their minds, and they cannot be impulsive.

This large-scale manhunt lasted for a whole day and night before it came to an end. At this time, Liu Changfeng gathered several brothers together.

The five brothers just sat there, and no one spoke.
