……

Geng Bai'an went to court as usual.After the morning court, she went back to Yong'an Hall for a regular meeting, but there was no Yu Gan in today's regular meeting.Geng Bai'an just mentioned that Yu Gan was in poor health, so no one dared to say anything. After all, even Tang Xiaohan would not take the initiative to find fault because of Tang Shuo's orders, and no one dared to disobey Geng Bai'an's intentions.

It's just that Wang Leshui showed a smile of unknown meaning, which made Geng Bai'an confused.

After the regular meeting, she just sneaked into the room to take a look at Yu Gan, and found that she was still asleep, so she simply turned her head and went to Dunyi Hall.Because Shu Yonghe had already sent someone to pick up a few young men from the Liu family when he retired from the court just now, so Geng Bai'an naturally wanted to go and have a look.

When Geng Bai'an arrived, the boy from the Liu family hadn't arrived yet.

"How's the matter with the Liu family going?"

Shu Yonghe shook his head: "From Chongjing to Liuxian, it will take nearly ten days at a fast pace, plus the time of investigation, I estimate that the result will not be known within half a month."

Hearing the words, Geng Bai'an was a little worried and said: "We can afford to wait for this matter, I'm afraid the Liu family can't afford to wait. You said that if the county magistrate finds out that these young people are missing, will he simply kill them to silence them?"

"Don't worry, there will be two people coming back to deliver the news, and the rest will stay in Liu County to protect the safety of the Liu family. It's just..." Shu Yonghe sighed hesitantly, and after thinking about it, he finally said it : "The immediate boss of the magistrate of Liu County is Shu Hongyu, so getting rid of it is not a problem, but the wealth of the Liu family... I'm afraid I can't get all of it back."

Chapter 56

Hearing Shu Hongyu's name, Geng Bai'an's face obviously changed: "Why is it him again?"

Shu Yonghe shrugged, helpless: "But we just want to take advantage of this matter to carry out a big cleansing of officials from all over the country, but it doesn't matter whether we can punish the crimes in a fair and honest manner."

Hearing what he said, Geng Bai'an understood that it was obviously impossible to punish the crimes, those who committed the most heinous crimes could just be killed in secret, so as not to let them go out and harm the people after the news passed.You must know that the hidden guards are not the only forces in the emperor's hands that cannot be put on the bright side, but they will not use such methods unless it is absolutely necessary, which will easily cause panic among the people.

Geng Bai'an's mind was empty for a while, and he suddenly realized that he had been a storyteller forever, like an emperor, and now he suddenly realized that even he had changed during this period of time.It will be really different if people hold power in their hands and can control the life and death of others at will.In the past, she would only try her best to punish those who made mistakes through formal channels, but now she feels that it is not a big deal to solve it in private.

Perhaps, sometimes this method is indeed more convenient, but suddenly there is a feeling that I am disregarding human life?

Shaking his head, he shook this strange thought out of his head.If those people hadn't killed people indiscriminately for profit, they wouldn't have ended up in the future, and everything was their own fault.

"Your Majesty, members of the Liu family have arrived."

"Let them in."

"Yes."

Several teenagers from the Liu family followed Lin Song into the imperial study room. After seeing Shu Yonghe and Geng Bai'an, they immediately knelt down and saluted: "Liu family, Liu Lin, Liu Chen, Liu Huan, Liu Jue, I have seen the emperor, I have seen you." Pass the empress."

After self-introduction, Geng Bai'an knew that Liu Lin was the second child of the Liu family, and also the boy who took the lead in kneeling down on her yesterday. He also had a 20-year-old elder brother above him, the one who was framed and murdered.Speaking of teenagers, Geng Baian discovered that Liu Lin was also 20 years old this year, but she was only a few months younger than her boss. At least with Geng Baian's body at his current age, it was impossible to call them "boys".

Thinking of what they said yesterday that their younger sister who had just reached the screen was almost forced to death, they are indeed not too young.

Afterwards, they told Shu Yonghe the whole incident in detail, causing Shu Yonghe and Geng Bai'an to frown frequently.Yesterday they only got a general idea, but they didn't expect that they would be so miserable. The whole family was really targeted, and no one was let go.Don't look at these teenagers kneeling here now. When they sued, they unfortunately sued the immediate superior who was in the same rank as the county magistrate, and they were beaten out with sticks.

At that time, Liu Lin was beaten to the point of bleeding in order to protect her younger brother. Now, if you look closely, you can still see a scar on his forehead.

Shu Yonghe said something to reassure them, let them stay in Chongjing for the time being, and told them that someone had already gone to Liu County to protect their family, and when the time came to deal with the magistrate, he would take them back with him.The youngsters of the Liu family thanked Shu Yonghe and Geng Bai'an several times, and then left the palace and went back to the inn.

Shu Yonghe and Geng Bai Ancheng didn't stop them when they kowtowed, and they also understood that in this situation, if they don't accept their way of thanking them, they will feel uneasy.Although it is very cost-effective to exchange the lives of the whole family with a few bangs, because it would be rude not to kneel or kowtow when seeing the king, but they really can't do anything else.

Does the emperor help you solve the problem and let you pay for it?Yes, now the national treasury is gradually empty, they want it very much, but they can't say it.

After sending away a few young men from the Liu family, Geng Bai'an patted Shu Yonghe on the shoulder: "Now we are going to use this incident as a breakthrough, originally we were going to make a big fuss, but if we get involved with Shu Hongyu, then this The matter itself should not be small. The details of this must be carefully considered, and it is best to test Shu Hongyu's attitude in advance."
