At first, he didn't dare.
After all, this is a serious crime of surrendering to the enemy and traitorous country. Once it is exposed, it will be light to lose his head, and he may even be removed from the three clans.
Under Zhu Lan's constant lure, Mi Zhu still failed to keep his heart, and relied on his power to sell some of the grain to Guanzhong.
At that time, there was a famine in Guanzhong, and Qi State was at war with the Southern Tang Dynasty, so it was unable to take care of it.After Mi Zhu sold the grain, he made a lot of money. Since then, he has become more and more courageous, and he has sold more and more things.
Up to now, even if he wants to stop, those who follow him will keep pushing him forward.
"What should I do? What should I do?" Mi Zhu kept beating his head, feeling more and more anxious.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Who?"
"Brother, it's me!" Mi Fang's voice came from outside the door.
Mi Zhu got up quickly and quickly opened the door. The person standing at the door was indeed Mi Fang.
Although there were guards guarding the Mi's mansion, they didn't know that since Mi Zhu bought the mansion, he dug a tunnel underground to connect to the hidden place in the city.And the only ones who knew this tunnel were his three brothers and sisters.
"Why are you back now?"
Mi Fang gasped and said: "As soon as I heard that His Majesty ordered to seal off the mansion, I was worried about you, so I hurried back. How is the situation, what does Your Majesty know?"
Mi Zhu waved his hand: "Your Majesty probably doesn't know much. By the way, how are you handling those witnesses?"
Mi Fang patted her chest and said, "Don't worry when I shoot brother, everyone will be cut off. The ones who know about this now are you and me, plus Zhu Lan and the others."
The stone in Mi Zhu's heart fell. Even though Cao Anmin had doubts in his heart, as long as there was no evidence, he would definitely not do anything to himself.
"Leave from the tunnel immediately, go to Langya in the East China Sea and other places, find some local officials, and find a way to avenge me. I want to make this matter as big as possible. As long as your majesty can't step down, he will not dare to face public opinion. Dispose of me. Then we shall be safe."
Mi Fang didn't dare to delay, she quickly fled out of the tunnel, and quietly disappeared into the night.
Chapter 978
Under Mi Fang's arrangements, the case of the Mi family has completely become a gossip among the people in Pengcheng and even the counties of Xuzhou.
For the common people, after talking about this matter several times, they lost interest.But after many officials participated in it, the whole case was constantly distorted.
What's more, officials from Donghai and Langya counties wrote letters one after another, asking His Majesty not to kill heroes, and some even cited the example of Han Gaozu Liu Bang killing Han Xin and other heroes.The news spread bigger and bigger, and finally even spread throughout the entire Qi State Central Plains Zhuzhou County.
In Yecheng Academy, the new batch of officials have been in the academy for three months.
Nowadays, there are fewer wars in the world, and the recruitment of officials has changed from the first two years to three years.
On weekdays, all officials not only have to learn how to govern the army, but also talk about state affairs from time to time.Naturally, the unjust murder of Mi's family, which has caused a lot of trouble in the city, has not escaped their attention.
"Everyone, what do you think Your Majesty thinks? The Mi clan has made great contributions to the country. Even if they make mistakes, they will not be imprisoned by the whole house!" said an official in Tsing Yi.
"What do you know, Your Majesty is the Holy King, there will be no mistakes."
"Brother Liao Li, what do you think?"
A man in a red robe slightly opened his eyes and glanced at the officials in front of him and said lightly: "I believe that His Majesty will never wrong any bad person. I have heard that although the Mi clan is in court, they are still doing business." The ancients said that business and government are all in one, so there will be no problem."
"Nonsense, the Mi family is an important official at the court servant level, and his younger sister is His Majesty's wife, so prominent, why do they need so much money?"
Many officials, you talk to each other, and the more you talk, the more energetic you are.
Liao Li glanced east and landed on a person.
Among the dozens of officials in Yecheng Academy this time, apart from myself, there are only two who can compete with me.
One is Liu Ba, a native of Sichuan and Shu, and the other is Zhuge Ke, the official son of Jiangdong and the son of Zhuge Jin, an important minister of Qi State.
Zhuge Ke's family is prominent, his uncle and father are both governors of a state, and they hold great power, which he cannot match.As for Liu Ba, he was born the same as himself.
I can't compare to Zhuge Ke, but I can't lose to Liu Ba.
"Brother Liu Ba, do you think the Mi clan is real or fake?"
Liu Ba put down the book in his hand, glanced at Liao Li in front of him, sneered, picked up the book again and started to read.
"Your Majesty once said that you don't listen to things outside the window, and you only read the books of sages and sages. I finally entered Yecheng College. If I don't study hard, what's the point of focusing on these all day long?"
Liao Li was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time, glared at Liu Ba, and sat aside again.
Liu Ba suddenly felt that his words were inappropriate, and said again: "Brother Liao Li, let's put our minds on studying. This matter is a bit strange. I feel that someone is secretly contributing to the flames. There must be deep meaning in such actions. You I'd better study hard and don't get involved in it because of trivial matters."
Liao Li asked in surprise, "How did you find out?"
Liu Ba didn't want to waste too much words, but seeing Liao Li's questioning, he could only say again: "Your Majesty is in the court, although he speaks widely, but there has never been a precedent for an official to speak out about government affairs. It is still under investigation, and His Majesty has never disclosed it to the public. It is publicized, but this matter has already been widely spread. Who do you think did this intentionally?"
Liao Li is also a smart person, he immediately realized Liu Ba's mention.Eyeballs widened, he looked at Liu Ba in front of him and said, "Could it be, you said, these people were arranged by the Mi clan?"
"As the saying goes, a thief shouts to catch a thief. If the Mi clan has no ghosts, why bother to stir up the situation and involve these people and officials. They want to tie all these people to their side, even if His Majesty really finds out something and wants to If you want to kill the Mi clan, His Majesty will definitely be afraid if you have these people as a shield for him."
Liao Lidun took a deep breath, and only after Liu Ba's reminder did he really see the deep meaning here.
"That's why I said, it's better to keep our eyes on the books honestly. There are many things in the court that we can't comment on at will."
Liao Li saluted, his face full of praise.
Inside Qianyuan Palace, Cao Anmin looked at the pile of bamboo slips in front of him, with a murderous look in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, these are ten thousand-word letters sent by various counties in Xuzhou." Zhan Zhao's face was full of helplessness.
They will never be merciless in killing traitors, but facing these powerless people, their knives suddenly feel a little blunt and can't cut down.
"Okay, very good, it seems that they are planning to threaten me with the common people!" Cao Anmin's mouth was slightly raised, and the killing intent in his heart became stronger.
"Your Majesty, I believe that all those who wantonly spread rumors should be arrested and interrogated severely. We will definitely know who is behind them."
Cao Anmin shook his head and said, "If you act like this, I'm afraid it's true that I have wronged the hero. This matter is put on hold, I don't know how the investigation is going?"
Zhan Zhao hurriedly took out the documents he had prepared and handed them over to Cao Anmin's dragon case.
"Your Majesty, since the investigation by the minister and all the lords, although the clues in the middle have been broken, some items have finally been found out. This is the list of all involved in this case. Please read it, Your Majesty."
Cao Anmin opened the document and was stunned when he saw it.
"so many people?"
Zhan Zhao was also a little helpless, bowed slightly and said: "Your Majesty, a total of 37 people are involved, some of them are officials from the court and China, and many are family members and business travelers along the way. Lord Bao and Lord Di don't know how to deal with them. Let the humble minister pass it on to His Majesty."
"What did you find?"
