Regarding Xungui's situation, Emperor Liu was still somewhat restrained, and could even calm down and listen to some detailed reports, but when Wang Xuanzhen reported the results of his investigation, Emperor Liu stopped pretending.

It wasn't that he was furious or hysterical, but his attitude was flat, a kind of cold perfunctory, he didn't ask about the specific case in detail, but just accepted the list of criminals submitted by Wang Xuanzhen lightly.

Responding like this is a good thing for Wang Xuanzhen, because he doesn't have to face Emperor Liu's questioning and reduces the risk of being confused.But for Wang Jien, the mood was not so satisfactory. The official's report to him was to get to the bottom of the matter and investigate the details, but they didn't ask Wang Xuanzhen that little brat. The difference in treatment was too obvious. Could it be that the official would rather Believe in newcomers, but don't trust yourself, an old slave?

When Wang Jien's heart was sour, Emperor Liu asked again: "These days, what is the public opinion of the people of Xijing City on the Kang Ning case?"

This question was naturally asked by Wang Jien, after all, the monitoring of public opinion in Gyeonggi is one of the main responsibilities of the Imperial City Division.However, when I mentioned it at this time, I really asked Wang Jien a little bit. During this period of time, his energy has been devoted to digging deep into the situation of those nobles, so he has no spare time to pay attention to the remarks of ordinary people. Min, talk like fart, not worthy of attention
He was muttering in his heart, but Wang Jien didn't panic at all, and when he turned his head, he calmly said: "Back to the official's house, after all, Kang Ning is a famous businessman all over the world, and the Kang family is even more deeply rooted in Beijing. Arrest, it is inevitable that there will be some repercussions among the people.

In the past few days, there has indeed been a lot of discussion among the people, and many of them are gloating.Of course, there are also people who are worried about getting involved, especially those who are directly related to the Kang family.

According to the investigation, the Kang family employed thousands of people inside and outside the capital. Some of the Kang family's employees gathered a crowd to make trouble, which led to some riots and several incidents of disability.

The specific reason was that even Kang Ning was arrested, and many of the Kang family's properties in the city closed their doors, causing those hired workers to lose their jobs, and there was a commotion.In Nanshi City, a street run by the Kang Corporation has also come to a standstill, causing the entire market to be a bit depressed, with merchants complaining and ordinary people complaining."

Wang Jien's words can be regarded as half-truths and half-false, but he tried his best to recall and expanded the content based on some situations reported by his subordinates.This was not to deceive Emperor Liu, but a "reasonable deduction", and Wang Jien also believed that what he reported was what Emperor Liu was willing to listen to, and even if there were some omissions, they could be made up for.

Following Wang Jien's narration, Wang Xuanzhen couldn't help squinting at Wang Jien, obviously Dao's heart was moved, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion at the old eunuch's boldness and cunning.Naturally, Wang Xuanzhen was aware of the problems he said, but if he wanted to use this to catch him, it would be easy to ask for trouble.

At the same time, the investigation of Kang Ning's case has become very clear to the present point. Kang Ning and even the entire Kang family are just an introduction. Emperor Liu is obviously concerned about the problems reflected behind him, and he wants to use it to do something.

The most important duty of the Imperial City Department and the Wu De Department is to help Emperor Liu achieve his goals. Under this premise, the Kang Ning case cannot be repeated, and everything must be solid. This is the awareness of being a minion.

Therefore, don't say that Wang Ji'en said that there are no fatal flaws, if there are, I'm afraid we have to cooperate and help to make up for it right now.Without this understanding, Wang Xuanzhen could not sit firmly in the position of Wude envoy.

Emperor Liu naturally did not pay attention to the thoughts of the two kings, but listened carefully to Wang Jien's report, the smile on the old man's face became more and more obvious, but the curvature of the corner of his mouth became more and more like a sickle for harvesting lives.

"What about other merchants in central Beijing? They all regard Kangning as a model for business and home ownership. How do they react?" After thinking for a while, Emperor Liu asked again.

In this regard, Wang Jien almost didn't think about it, and said in a deep voice following the train of thought just now: "The officials are really insightful and discerning. If we talk about the reaction of the people to Kang Ning's arrest, we have to count the merchants in Beijing and China.

However, their reactions are also different. Most of the small businesses and small households have nothing to do with them, while the middle-class businessmen, apart from caring, are mostly silent.

Of course, among the small and medium-sized merchants, there are many people who like to hear and see, because the Kang Corporation often bullies the market and infringes on their business and interests, and now that the Kang Corporation has been investigated, many people are rushing to tell and celebrate."

"Is there such a thing?" Emperor Liu interrupted Wang Ji'en, and said sarcastically: "It seems that this Kang family is not like some people said, it is a good businessman who runs his own business, and such a Big merchants can affect the prosperity of the market and affect the livelihood of thousands of people, no wonder they are so reckless!"

After saying that, the stern tone changed, and Emperor Liu asked calmly again: "In terms of influence, a hundred small and medium-sized merchants are probably not as good as a so-called wealthy merchant! Kangning is not the only big merchant in the big man, it is said that he is as famous as him. There are quite a few, how did they react?"

Wang Jien immediately said: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, the big merchants in Beijing are most concerned about the Kangning case, and it is their instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. I have lost contact with my family, especially those who have had close contacts in the past, but they are all secretly inquiring about news in various ways.

There are even those who stay away from the capital and act as fugitives."

At this point, Emperor Liu did not continue to ask, but fell into deep thinking again.If what Wang Jien said is true, then a picture of life in the market has already been sketched in his mind. Obviously, the impact of the Kang Ning case not only affects the court dignitaries, but also affects the business and people's livelihood in the market. Significant, even more so on the surface, almost immediately.

However, it was precisely because of this that the murderous aura in Emperor Liu's heart became even more boiling and hard to suppress.He has always encouraged business, but it does not mean unconditional support. Once his psychological bottom line is broken, there will be only severe punishment.

Reminiscent of the report on the Kang family, its servants, tenants, and employers numbered in the tens of thousands, or even 10. They were organized and well fed by the Kang family.Emperor Liu still remembers Yulin's tyrannical rebellion to this day. He was just a local tyrant on the border. If a big family like the Kang family tried such a trick on the court, what kind of result would it be?
Thinking of this, Emperor Liu didn't feel shuddering, but his vigilance and suspicion skyrocketed.

While Emperor Liu was thinking about it, Wang Xuanzhen made another stab at the right time: "Your Majesty, I received the news from Guan Nei Dao today that Emperor Sun Wenhuan met a young man named Kang Mingrui on his way back to Beijing. Grandson of Corning."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Liu had already made no secret of his murderous intent, and the ferocious gaze made one's heart jump.

As he muttered, Emperor Liu straightened his back. Sensing the change, the two kings and Yan Tuo all became serious at the same time. Obviously, they were all ready to accept the hadith.

Every time they were made to wait too long, Emperor Liu raised his hand and directly ordered: "The Imperial City, Wude, the Third Division of Inspection and Inspection, and the Luoyang Mansion, and the four yamen cooperate with each other to arrest the Kang family for the crime of treason." , not to escape one person, but if there is resistance, kill without mercy!"

"Yes!" Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Jien and Wang Xuanzhen responded with a straightforward look.

"Your two divisions have been under surveillance for a long time, let's not let anyone get away!" Emperor Liu looked at the two kings coldly.

When asked, Wang Jien said with a serious face: "Don't worry, officials!"

"He is a member of the Kang clan, but if he escapes, I am willing to accept the responsibility!" Wang Xuanzhen also seemed very confident.

In fact, the two divisions of Imperial City and Wude have already deployed and controlled the main personnel of the Kang family, and a large net has also been formed around Luoyang. It only needs to be ordered by Emperor Liu to close the net at any time.

And Kang's ending was also doomed long ago.Rebellion, such a crime, no one in the world can bear it.

"Dare to ask the officials, how should these nobles and officials involved in the case be dealt with?"

Emperor Liu squinted at Wang Jien who had asked this question. After a long time, he said, "Let's discuss again!"
