Revenge of Rebirth: Intrigue

Chapter 646 The Purpose Achieved
With such thoughts in mind, Murong Yun spared no effort in investigating the case.

In a month's time, he had conclusive evidence, and there were many people to prove it. Without the eunuch's knowledge, he had already written a secret letter and sent it back to the capital.

In the letter, in addition to reporting on the things found this time, he also asked the emperor to send someone to secretly investigate several ministers in the court who were involved in other times.

At the same time, he sent another letter to Mu Huaxian.

In order not to startle the enemy, the emperor did not issue an explicit order to deal with the prefect, but let Murong Yun control him, deal with the disaster first, and then quietly escorted the prefect back to Beijing, and Jin Yang temporarily took over the post of prefect.

When Murong Yun returned to Beijing, the emperor had already sent someone to investigate.Such major cases have always been handed over to Dali Temple for handling, and this time is no exception.

And because the case was investigated secretly, the emperor only gave Gu Tan an order alone, and directly allocated four members from the emperor's own guard to assist him, even the two young ministers of Dali Temple didn't know about it.

Murong Yun had disguised himself when he entered the capital, but Tang Jing's people did not recognize him that day, and he did not know that Murong Yun had returned until the morning court the next day.

Because of his guilty conscience, he took the initiative to ask Murong Yun about the disaster relief, but Murong Yun only said that he didn't find any evidence.

In this way, Gu Tan might be able to find out a lot more things by delaying Tang Jing for one more day.

Tang Jing naturally didn't believe it in his heart, but it was so far away from Hanzhou, and he was just a small eunuch. This time, the other ministers had never dealt with it, so he didn't care too much, so he didn't care too much.

It's just that he still asked people to watch Murong Yun more carefully secretly, worrying that he would continue to investigate the ministers who participated in the disaster relief several times before.

Those people are all his confidantes, and the money they get from the grain payment is [-]% to him, otherwise how could he have so much money to manage things.

So these people can't have an accident. If something is found out, it is very likely that he will be found out by following the clues.

Because of Tang Jing's instructions to those ministers and many eyeliners, Gu Tan found it more difficult to investigate the case. One month later, only two criminal evidences were found, and he could not be connected with Tang Jing.

But it was better than not finding any of them. The emperor severely punished these two ministers and ordered Gu Tan to take people to search their houses and confiscate all the money found.

The quantity found was naturally much less than what they had obtained. Gu Tan raised a question, and the emperor personally interrogated the two of them, but the two refused to say anything, and blamed themselves for all the crimes.

The emperor had originally decided to have the two of them stripped of their official positions and exiled to the border. In a rage, he ordered them to be executed all over the house.

What no one expected was that the emperor's order made the two of them confess some truths.

Although Tang Jing was not confessed, several other ministers were confessed. They only begged the emperor not to involve their family members.

Mu Huaxian guessed that it was Tang Jing who saw that something was wrong and made a promise to them that as long as he didn't talk nonsense, he would take good care of their families for them.And when the emperor said that he wanted to kill everyone, those family members would not be able to escape, so of course they would panic.

It took three months, and with the efforts of Mu Huaxian and all of them, Tang Jing lost two ministers.

And he had to focus on this matter during this period, so he couldn't be distracted to do other things, and the goal of preventing Tang Jing's power from continuing to expand was also achieved.
