In his previous life, he was disfigured and his eyes were gouged out, and he was reborn to kill ever

Leng Yu went to the farm outside the city to check.

Many family members of court officials were imprisoned in the manor.

Moreover, those family members were basically the concubines and illegitimate children of officials in the court.

The second prince locked them up in the manor and used this to threaten the ministers in the court.

So much so that the ministers dared to be angry but not to speak out.

After all, keeping a mistress is not good for one's reputation as an official.

Moreover, the second prince had promised them that as long as they stood on his side and obeyed his orders, they would be happy.

Then their families will not be in any danger.

And finally help him ascend the throne.

Then he would not only release their families, but also promote them to higher positions and give them generous rewards.

As a result, many officials were controlled by the second prince.

Leng Yu entered the manor and a servant came to greet him.

"Meet Master Leng."

“Well, how are the people in the village?

Nothing went wrong, did it?

Leng Yu put his hands behind his back and asked.

"Don't worry, sir, everything is fine.

They were all served with delicious food and drinks, and there were many people guarding inside and outside the manor.

Not even a fly can fly out.”

The servant was bending his body with a flattering smile on his face.

"That's good."

Leng Yu said as he took out a heavy bag of silver from his sleeve pocket and threw it to the servant.

"This is a reward from the master."

The servant took it with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Master, for the reward."

Leng Yu walked towards the yard.

The manor is not small, with at least thirty or forty side rooms inside.

There were people imprisoned in about twenty rooms.

The people imprisoned in the wing rooms, apart from having no freedom, have daily food and clothing that is not too bad.

However, who would have a good temper when being imprisoned and losing freedom?

When Leng Yu was inspecting the rooms, some people with bad tempers would cling to the doors and curse loudly.

"Let us out quickly, why are you detaining us here?

What a bunch of inhumane dogs.

Is there any more royal method?

If you are smart, let us out. Otherwise, you will be in trouble."

Leng Yu looked at the servant.

"Whose family is that one who is yelling so loudly?"

The servant bowed and replied:

“He’s the illegitimate son of the Shangshu Ling family.

This kid has always had a bad temper. Since he was caught, he has been cursing every day."

"illegitimate child?

If he has a bad temper, then starve him for three days and three nights, and then he won’t have the energy to vent his temper even if he’s in a bad mood.”

Leng Yu said disdainfully.

"Yes, my lord."

The servant nodded and smiled apologetically.

Leng Yu walked along the way and after turning around, he didn't find anything wrong.

He nodded with satisfaction,

"That's right, as long as you keep an eye on the person, the master will reward you handsomely when the time comes."

"Yes, I will definitely get the job done."

The servant was respectful.

"Where are Cuihe and Cuimei's families?"

Leng Yu suddenly asked.

“They were kept in a room further away.

Because they were not of high status and were brought here suddenly, they were not prepared, so the place they lived in was relatively simple. "

The servant answered truthfully, then paused and asked again,

"Sir, are you going to arrange new accommodation for them?"

Leng Yu raised his hand and shook his head gently.

"No need, just keep an eye on him."

"clear."

The servant remained respectful.

Leng Yu checked for a while and then left.

A few of the spirit birds that came with him stayed on the farm and watched.

The rest, except for one who went back to report to Fang Ling, continued to follow Leng Yu.

Fang Ling received the news brought back by the spirit bird and knew that the officials' families were safe for the time being, so she was not in a hurry to rescue them.

Otherwise, it is easy to alert the enemy.

In addition, the identities of those imprisoned by the second prince are rather special.

If they rashly go to rescue people and expose their identities, people may not appreciate it.

In short, you have to greet the court officials whose families are controlled by the second prince first.

Let them communicate well with their wives at home.

Otherwise, the wife in the family, without any psychological preparation, would probably be in a big mess if she suddenly found out that her husband was keeping a mistress outside.

In short, we have to wait until each family has discussed with the legal wife and reached a consensus on how to deal with the concubine before we can rescue the person.

Fang Ling and Qin Mu just want Xiao Muzhe to successfully ascend to the throne of crown prince and not be defeated by the second prince's conspiracy.

It's really hard to interfere in other people's family affairs, and I don't intend to interfere.

The two men called Xiao Muzhe over and prepared to discuss with him how to save the families of those officials.

Xiao Muzhe came with Ouyang Liuli.

"Respect the king, respect the princess."

Xiao Muzhe bowed to the two of them with a very respectful attitude.

Ouyang Liuli stepped forward and took Fang Ling's arm.

"Sister Ling, have you found out everything?"

Fang Ling pulled her to sit down.

Qin Mu also invited Xiao Muzhe to sit down and have tea.

After they took their seats, Qin Mu handed a list to Xiao Muzhe for review.

Xiao Muze took it and looked at it, his face full of disappointment.

"Why do so many officials in the court secretly keep mistresses?

No wonder they didn’t dare to say a word even though the Second Prince had captured their people.

If you behave badly, who can you blame? "

Qin Mu didn't have any emotions.

“What we need to focus on now is not the personal ethics of these officials, but to prevent the Second Prince from using these officials to harm you.

Many of the officials whose families were controlled held important positions.

If they all put pressure on your father, it will not be easy for you to ascend to the throne of crown prince smoothly."

"Then what do I do?"

Xiao Muzhe asked humbly.

“You need to personally visit the residence of each official on this list one by one.

Tell them that you have a way to rescue the hostages held by the Second Prince.

And, let them properly arrange the corresponding matters themselves, so as to avoid causing unrest in the family."

Qin Mu answered Xiao Muzhe's question seriously.

Xiao Muze frowned.

"These officials all have families, but they keep mistresses without telling their wives, which shows that they are not good people.

With such a character, how can he govern Beidi well if he holds an important position in the court?"

"You are right, but this is not the problem you need to solve right now.

It is indeed a lack of personal morality for an official to keep a mistress.

However, they now hold important positions in the court, and if they are controlled by the second prince again.

That may very well prevent you from becoming the crown prince."

Qin Mu's words were already very straightforward.

Xiao Muze was not ignorant of the situation. He relaxed his brows.

"So, if I want to change the current situation of officials in the court, I must first ascend to a high position myself."

"Well, as the saying goes, a new emperor appoints new ministers.

When you become the king, you will have the final say on what kind of officials you want to employ."

Qin Mu said this, leisurely picked up the teacup on the table and slowly took a sip of tea.

"Then I'll do it now."

Xiao Muzhe is not a paranoid person and is willing to listen to advice.

"Don't let the Second Prince's men find out that you went to the residences of these officials."

Qin Mu reminded again.
