The game is here, only I can see the rules

In order to ascend to the throne, the new emperor will kill people like crazy!

There was blood everywhere.

Even those who were forced to obey were frightened.

Whatever the new emperor did in the past few days, whether he was granting amnesty to the world or promoting virtuous people, all was to make the world say good things about him.

The new emperor also did it.

Now it's time to cause trouble for them.

They are all so busy, how can they have time to care about where those ministers have gone?

The manager of the Military and Horse Department did not dare to say it so openly.

What an injustice it would be if the new emperor beheaded him again and sacrificed him or something!

But at this time, the ministers in the palace actually had one idea in mind:

The new emperor might have taken advantage of the chaos and killed all four families!

The people in the Bingma Division thought so too.

The new emperor is immoral. You found someone to kill them, and then you defrauded yourself?

"Where is the person? If I ask you something, tell me!" The new emperor was angry and asked again.

He really wants to kill someone!

The people from the Bingma Division said bravely, "Maybe they all died accidentally yesterday?"

New Emperor:......

The ministers in the palace:...

It is definitely impossible for everyone to die.

The new emperor arranged for people to kill those two families, but he didn't have time to ask about the specific matter.

Because when he launched a palace coup to seize the throne, he arranged several waves of people to kill people.

Anyone who doesn't deal with him, as well as his father's favored princes and princesses, are all within the scope of assassination.

There were too many things, and he didn't ask them one by one.

Come to think of it, maybe, really dead? !

"Pull it down, twenty big boards, your soldiers and horses don't even know what's going on in the city!"

"...Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Mada!

You have to be thankful for being beaten.

Although it was against his will, he was still dragged down.

Slap the board down.

This guy's butt is bleeding.

The guard holding the board also put in a lot of effort.

"Don't blame us, the brothers also listen."

"Sir, you know that a few days ago Erniu and the others were cut into pieces by five horses because they were not strong enough to hit the board!"

"Your lord has plenty!"

The guard explained while beating.

"..."

I listened, but didn’t forgive.

Who can be forgiven after being beaten all the time?

The emperor couldn't do it, and the guards who played the board couldn't do it.

No matter who you are, you have to vent your anger.

Wait...

*

boom!

The new emperor overturned everything on his desk to the ground.

Pfft!

People inside and outside the imperial study knelt on the ground.

The eunuchs, maids, guards, and secret guards all lowered their heads deeply.

He didn't dare to look at the angry new emperor.

"All gone?"

"Yes!"

"That's bullshit. You didn't see so many people leave the imperial city?"

"Are you blind?"

"You... all get out of here!"

A group of eunuchs, maids, guards and others quickly backed away and left the imperial study.

Only the secret guard was left kneeling in place.

The new emperor took a deep breath and asked in a gloomy voice: "Has the body of the secret guard been buried?"

"No... Your Majesty, they were all burnt and it was hard to send them home, so we dug a hole and buried them together."

"No one alive?"

"No, but it looks like there was a fierce fight before death."

"Which mansion are you from?"

"Si and Lan are all like this. And, and..." the secret guard repeated blankly, but he didn't know whether to say it or not.

"Say." The new emperor was already wondering whether those people were dead or ran away.

Logically speaking, I can't run away.

But even if they were set on fire, they couldn't all be burned to death. After all, those idiots from the Military and Horse Department didn't come to report any serious leaks in any house.

He was upset when he saw the secret guard hesitating.

The secret guard could only say: "Also, all their belongings are gone, and only people were burned."

"What's missing?"

"Everything is gone, furniture, food, beds, etc. Even the big water tank in the yard is gone."

The new emperor was confused when he heard this.

"What the hell? Let's make some arrangements and I'll take a look in person."

The new emperor always feels uneasy if he doesn't take a look for himself.

Whether it is the Si family or the Lan family, they have been a serious problem since their father was in power.

Although his father did not prefer him to occupy the throne, his displeasure with those two families was never hidden from his sons and grandsons.

This is also the reason why he took time out to deal with those two families after the palace change.

Those two families are too powerful.

It was so big that even the royal family was disturbed.

~

The new emperor saw it.

The Si family, Lan family, Zhao family, Shen family, and other families who were killed by his arrangements are all empty!

Really empty!

The house was empty.

It seemed empty outside.

If it weren't for the people who knew that the yard was once full of people living here, I would have thought that this was a new house and no one had moved in yet!

As the secret guard said, even the big water tank in the yard is gone.

Everything that catches the eye is missing.

Can you imagine?

There is a medicinal field in Prince Jing's palace. The new emperor knows about it, but now even those medicinal fields are gone!

Every yard has traces of a fire and an unpleasant smell.

This is the smell of burning corpses.

The secret guard whispered: "I guess those secret guards may have gone after the people who escaped. These... were burned by the people who were killed in each family."

This is also the habit of their secret guards.

The palace secret guards have very uniform killing habits.

It would be troublesome if someone found out, so after the secret guards did something, they would burn the bodies cleanly whenever they had the chance.

The new emperor also knew this habit.

But looking at the corpse-burning grounds of different sizes in each courtyard, the new emperor felt that they were too small.

There were hundreds of servants of the owner in each house, so just a little place to burn their corpses?

The bones were buried, and it was impossible to tell how many people had died.

The new emperor has been in a panic from the moment he took action until now.

Now seeing that all these houses are empty, I feel less flustered, but still a little uneasy.

There is always an ominous feeling.

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Hubu is asking for an audience outside the imperial study!" A guard came over and whispered back.

The new emperor came out quietly, so outsiders didn't know that he was the new emperor.

The new emperor waved his hand to indicate that he understood.

The guards retreated.

Just when he was about to ask more questions, he felt that no matter whether it was the Si family or the Lan family, it was impossible for his people to kill them so cleanly so quickly.

At this time, another guard came to report: "Your Majesty, the Minister of Civil Affairs is outside the imperial study room asking for an audience, and there are several other adults also asking for an audience."

New Emperor:......

Forget it, let's go back and see what these guys want to do first, right?

"Take care of all these places. It just so happens that the new batch of courtiers don't have big houses to live in!"

"Yes!"

What a loss!

Even though so many people died, they were still burned to death.

The new emperor will soon be given to his courtiers, but this has nothing to do with their secret guards.

They just do the work.

Anyway, it’s not a place for them to live in. It’s just a matter of cleaning it up. It’s not difficult.

Dig the soil deeply until the blood is buried underneath, then step on it firmly.

That's it!

As for whether it will be discovered in the future?

Their secret guards don't care about that.

Who can tell the difference between the color of soil and the color of blood stained over time?

So what if we can tell the difference?

What does it have to do with their secret guards?

~

A group of high-ranking officials were lying in the royal study room.

<divclass="contentadv">Seeing that the new emperor finally met them, everyone burst into tears.

"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me!"

"My things are lost!"

"My house has been stolen!"

"The same applies to you!"

"I am wronged!"

"All I have is gone, it's gone!"

New Emperor:......

The new emperor was still thinking about the affairs of the Si family and the Lan family. Hearing the cries of these ministers, he was very excited.

It does not make sense?

After asking carefully, I found out.

The homes of these ministers were robbed.

Stealing very cleanly.

Everything of value in the house was taken away.

Not even a leaf of green vegetables was left by the cook. As for the people in the house, they were all trash.

Unexpectedly, he didn't know anything. They only woke him up after going to court.

At that time, everything in the house was gone.

Furniture, vegetables, etc. don't matter.

It mainly includes the corruption gains they put in the secret cabinet. It is not easy for these gains to be swept away in one package!

These are the things that make ministers feel sore!

He was beaten and scolded.

But no one knew what was going on. They just felt dizzy and fell asleep.

When I woke up again, I saw these masters returning to their mansion. The mansion was empty...

New Emperor: ...The uneasiness is getting stronger!

Ministers: ...Does the new emperor not want to take care of it? !

No matter what, you have to take care of it.

Something was also lost in the palace.

Everything including the palace's warehouses was also stolen.

Even the grain camp in the suburbs was clean, not even a grain of grain was left for him.

The new emperor panicked!

No matter how ruthless he was, he did not use the grain camp to take action. Even if he became emperor, he would still need these things.

But now, it’s gone!

As an emperor, he always has to take care of the food and drink of those below him, right?

"Check!" The new emperor was furious and sent people to conduct a thorough investigation.

The new emperor sent enough manpower to investigate, but after working for more than half a month, there was no useful information at all.

Instead, we received letters of distress from various borders and rescue letters from various prefectures and cities.

Those who want food and grass, those who want relief.

There wasn't even anyone who could be sent out to fight for help. This time he came to power, and many people died.

Military generals died the most.

The missing Lan family, not to mention the Si family.

There is no more relief.

If things can't be found, even eating and drinking in the imperial city will be a problem.

The new emperor was at a loss.

In less than a month, I have aged more than ten years.

Everything is not going well, so sad!

He was so worried that as an emperor, he wanted to drag out and chop everyone he saw!

For a time, the imperial city was in chaos!

*

On an official road leading to the outside world.

A huge crowd.

There are caravans of cars and horses, escorts of rich people, families of refugees, and beggars.

Anyway, you can see that there are all kinds of people in this industry, but they are surprisingly quiet.

Stop and eat when it’s time to eat, and walk together when it’s time to walk.

The beggars and refugees do not bring food, but they have strength.

From time to time we need to recruit people to work in this car and horse team, not only to take care of food but also to give money!

Those beggars and refugees who did a good job were recruited into the caravan and became official entourage. They were provided with three meals a day and were given clothes and other such things.

There is hope for the day at a glance!

As soon as this news came out, more and more beggars and refugees came.

This large group of people is Mali.

Astonishingly, there was the Si family of Prince Jing's Mansion and General Wang Lan's family who were 'annihilated'.

As well as the Zhao family, the right prime minister, and the Shen family, the imperial censor.

The Zhao family and Shen family actually came here by chance.

When the second prince caused trouble, the nine clans of these two families had already been imprisoned by the emperor.

The crime is disobedience.

The two families are related by marriage, and the treasury is empty. I want to get something from these two families to replenish the treasury.

The in-laws of the Zhao family were merchants from Jiangnan and had lots of money.

Coincidentally, the aunt and cousin of the Shen family, the imperial censor, was also a businessman and had a lot of money.

The royal family often does this kind of thing.

But before the execution, the second prince usurped the throne!

These people were released with the new emperor's amnesty, of course, because of the use of money.

Otherwise, they would have to be imprisoned for at least a few more years on the charge of ransacking every home and being exiled.

Even when the new emperor came to power, he never thought about taking out the money that went into his pocket and giving it back?

Why should you pay back the money you got based on your skills?

Taking advantage of the chaos, Lan Bingyue took the money and went to the prison in person to get the two families out.

They were sent out of the city the same day they were found.

They didn't go back home. Their home had been ransacked a long time ago and they had nothing. Why did they go back?

He was placed in a village ten miles outside the city, and when they came, they were taken away together.

Of course, everyone in the village also left together.

Everyone in the village is from the Si government.

It was Director He who had arranged to inquire about information here earlier.

Now that they have decided to leave, except for a few hidden nails left in Kyoto, everyone else has been taken away.

The beggars and refugees were also taken away deliberately.

If you want to build a new force, the most important thing is to have more people!

Anyone who can follow them is a good seedling!

As for starving to death?

Anyone who is not lazy to death will never die of hunger.

Lan Bingyue visited almost all the homes of first-rank ministers in the imperial city.

The warehouses in the inner courtyard of the palace were all emptied.

There is no shortage of food, and all the food camps in the imperial city are accepted by Lan Bingyue!

The system backpack is full of things.

Let alone these people, if there are more than 8,000 yuan, it will not be a problem to eat for at least several decades...

"The capital is in chaos."

"Every minister's home was taken away by thieves."

"The new emperor is suspicious of the disappearances of the Si, Lan, Zhao and Shen families."

"We have sent secret guards everywhere to check. They are riding fast horses. They will catch up with us in less than half a month."

From time to time, news would come from the imperial city.

Although Lan Bingyue and the others have been on the road for a month, the news in the imperial city is still very clear.

"Yue'er, why don't we separate?"

"Si Changhe, what do you think?"

Si Changhe: “No need, just stay here if you come.”

Lan Bingyue: "That's what I mean too. We just don't have enough horses. Be careful when you attack and don't hurt our horses!"

"No problem, brothers will definitely pay attention when they attack."

"..." You haven't met your opponent yet?

Did you take someone else's horse as your own first?

"Is it my turn this time?"

"can you?"

"Why not? In terms of horsemanship, none of you can beat me!"

If he hadn't been in the imperial city because he had to pretend to be lame, he would be a worthy master of the Lan family!

There are too many people now.

At a glance, well, you can’t see the end!

After leaving the imperial city, the young masters of the Lan Mansion stopped pretending.

Everyone was jumping up and down, and there was no sign of death like that reported by the people in the imperial city.

After what happened, the young masters became much more stable.

They are taking care of everything along the way.

It seems that he has taken over the heavy responsibility of the Lan family...

But on major matters, I will discuss it with my younger sister Lan Bingyue.

Sometimes he would bring Si Changhe, the sick and frail prince of Prince Jing's palace.

Now several people are discussing who will respond.

What if those assassins can't be found?

They are waiting to pick up the horse...

Listening to the heated discussion of the juniors in a room next door.

Four elderly men sighed while drinking tea.

This is how people live...
