Young Master, my wife brought the memories of her past life and was reborn to save the house.

Before the soldiers finished reporting, the expressions of the officials below changed.

Shen Zhengyi, who already knew the inside story, had a gloomy face and a pair of eyes filled with cold horror as he leaned down to listen to the soldier's report.

"Two merchant ships planned to be used to suppress bandits were blown up by artillery fire from the South Sea by unknown forces on the night of the operation. The 2,100 merchants on board, including the soldiers who suppressed bandits, suffered heavy casualties."

The pupils of the ministers trembled.

"The Imperial City Division led by Capital Master Xie was also sabotaged by pirates from the Holy Island. The hull was severely damaged and the entire ship sank. The prefect of Huaizhou Prefecture has sent troops to search for survivors."

Although Shen Zhengyi already knew that the condition of the two legitimate sons of the Shen family was very bad, when he heard the soldier's words, Shen Zhengyi's heart tugged deeply, and the heart-wrenching pain made his face look ugly.

"I wonder if there is any news about my son Xie Yujin in Huaizhou Prefecture. Is he still alive? If he died in the battle, will his body be found?" The first person to speak was Xie Yujin's father, Duke Zhenguo.

His voice echoed loudly in the gloomy and dull hall.

Shen Zhengyi raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Duke Zhen with a cold and sinister gaze, and then asked: "There are also Wei Chen's two sons on the boat. How can they find their whereabouts?"

The soldier continued to report: "Prefect Xu has found the second son of the Duke of Zhenguo and the third son of Shen of Shangshu. During the pursuit of the gangsters, the third son of Shen was hit by a shell and injured his head. He is unconscious. The second son of Xie was seriously injured. Injured, the whereabouts of Capital Master Xie and General Shen are unknown. In this operation, 5,780 people died, 860 were seriously injured, and eight were slightly injured."

Not including the Shen family's Tiger Wing Guards.

Shen Zhengyi took a deep breath, raised his hand to rub his chest, and then managed to suppress the heavy pain in his heart: "Your Majesty, there is a picture of the Twenty-Eight Stars brought back from Nanyang on that ship. It was supposed to be displayed by the Queen Mother. On her birthday, as a birthday present to the Queen Mother, these gangsters are so audacious that they dare to touch the court officials and offerings, and I am willing to personally go to Huaizhou Mansion to carry out the cleanup operation."

"Lord Shen, you must not act rashly." Duke Zhenguo intervened to stop him, and then said to Emperor Jinglong: "Your Majesty, I have heard that many ordinary people have taken refuge on the Holy Island. If the imperial court kills the people on the island indiscriminately, I’m just afraid that…”

"What common people?" Shen Zheng was furious, with only murderous intent in his eyes: "Since they have taken refuge in the water bandits, then they are bandits."

After Shen Zhengyi glared at Duke Zhen Guo fiercely, he then faced Emperor Jinglong: "This action shows that those bandits are planning to rebel against our royal system. They are no longer ordinary bandits. They are doing this... It’s rebellion, it’s a traitor.”

"Lord Shen." Duke Zhenguo disagreed with Shen Zhengyi's words.

Emperor Jinglong interrupted the Duke of Zhen and supported Shen Zhengyi: "I will allocate 3,000 people to transport 2,000 cannon barrels bought from Nanyang. I will take this opportunity to test the power of the cannon barrels. You and I The prince went to Huaizhou Mansion together to clean up the bandits on the Holy Island and kill them all."

"Your Majesty, think twice." The rumors about the Holy Island heard by Duke Zhen were different from the Holy Island mentioned by the officials: "We heard that many old, weak, sick and children were housed on the Holy Island. The bandits only removed a thorn. What the emperor really wants to clean up is the current cancer in local and state capitals."

"The Duke of Zhen has been obstructing Master Shen. Is it because the interests of Holy Island and Duke Zhen are colluding? In this operation, your youngest son came back intact." Prince Mo Junli said with a solemn face.

Duke Zhen's face changed in shock, as if he heard some incredible words, and he looked at the prince in shock: "Your Highness, I have done my duty faithfully. If you think that I have colluded with the bandits, you can imprison me in Dali Temple." , Weichen will not accept baseless speculations."

"Of course, if His Highness the Crown Prince feels that the blood shed by the Jiang family is not enough to cleanse this land, and wants to use this matter to attack my Xie family again, then just do it."
