Chapter 58 Searching the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty

The mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty was raided.

The fourth prince of Chu, Ji Chenghao, and the crown prince, Ji Fengao, followed the imperial edict and personally led the imperial guards to surround the mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty.

Situ Xuan, the Marquis of Loyalty, who was accidentally injured yesterday, had just finished a bowl of bitter medicine and was sitting in the study room, secretly hating and thinking about how to get back at the wrath, when a flurry of footsteps sounded outside.

"My Lord! My Lord!" The servant's face changed drastically, "It's bad, something big has happened!"

Situ Xuan got up and walked out, opened the door and shouted angrily: "Why are you so flustered? Is the sky falling?"

"The... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Ming brought the imperial guards and surrounded the mansion, saying... they were going to raid the house..."

Raid the house?

Situ Xuan's expression was cold: "What a courage! Who asked them to come?"

"They said... they were acting on the order..."

Situ Xuan sneered, on the order?

He didn't believe that the emperor really dared to go against the queen mother.

After closing the door of the study, Situ Xuan strode towards the front yard. The servant followed him tremblingly, wanting to remind him that the prince had brought many people with him, and the entire mansion had been surrounded like an iron barrel, and not even a fly could fly out.

"Yang Shuo, Teng Ping, you take people to guard the gate, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!" A cold and indifferent voice sounded, mixed with the iron-blooded murderous aura that no one could ignore, which made people palpitate, "If anyone breaks out by force, he can be killed on the spot!"

"Yes!"

"Pei Jun, you take two hundred people to guard the back door of the mansion. If anyone tries to escape from the back door, capture or kill him!"

"Yes!"

Situ Xuan's face suddenly turned cold, and he quickened his pace, "What is His Highness the Prince Ming doing?"

He always knew that the fourth prince who grew up in the military camp was a hard bone to chew, and he usually tried to avoid confrontation with him as much as possible. He didn't expect that one day, he would personally bring the Imperial Guards to confiscate the house.

The Queen Mother thinks highly of the Marquis of Loyalty and dotes on him beyond the imagination of others. Not only did she confer him the title of Marquis, but she also gave him the power of the Ministry of Revenue.

Even though the civil and military officials in the court had many complaints about the Marquis of Loyalty over the years, and the imperial desk was filled with impeachment memorials, the Emperor never issued an order to punish him.

Today's house search came unexpectedly, and the Marquis of Loyalty had not heard any news beforehand.

"Your Highness Ming Wang," Situ Xuan looked sinister, staring at Ming Wang's cold face, "What are you doing to search my mansion?"

"I am following the order of the King." Ji Chenghao said in a cold tone, "The Marquis of Loyalty broke into the Temple of the Son of God privately, offended the Son of God, and was disrespectful to God! The Marquis of Loyalty used his beauty to serve others, disrupted the court order, embezzled and perverted the law, and violated the laws of the State of Chu! The Marquis of Loyalty privately kept the imperial items, had wolfish ambitions, and his crime was unforgivable!"

Every word seemed to carry the force of thunder and lightning. As soon as the voice fell, Ji Chenghao raised his head and said, "Your Highness, your ... With a wave of his hand, he said, "Search!"

"Who dares?" Situ Xuan said coldly, raising his hand and ordering, "Come here!"

King Ming looked around, his eyes as sharp as an ice sword: "I am ordered to search the house. The Marquis of Loyalty is guilty of many crimes and the evidence is irrefutable. Anyone who dares to stop me from searching the Marquis's house will be disobeying the order and will be killed on the spot!"

"Fourth brother." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked unhappy and frowned, "Someone impeached the Marquis of Loyalty for privately storing the royal belongings. It is just an impeachment for the time being. Before the evidence is found, , the evidence is not yet conclusive, fourth brother, you should take it easy. "

Ji Chenghao looked at him coldly: "Search!"

The generals and soldiers of the Cavalry Battalion divided into several groups and instantly entered the inner courtyard, bedroom, study, front hall, and various courtyards...

Situ Xuan looked at the scene in front of him that could no longer be stopped, clenched his hands tightly, and was about to turn around and walk inside, but heard the king say: "Loyalty Marquis, please stay."

Situ Xuan turned his head and looked at him coldly: "What? This Marquis has lost his personal freedom?"

"A A male favorite who serves others for sex is not qualified to talk about personal freedom. "

"You!" Situ Xuan's expression was sinister and his tone was cold, "Please respect yourself, King Ming." "The Marquis of Loyalty has never respected himself in his work, why should I respect myself?" Ji Chenghao's eyes were cold, "Do you feel ashamed?" "Ji Chenghao!" Situ Xuan was angry, "Don't be so arrogant!" King Ming never thought he was arrogant. As a prince, and a prince who had been trained in the military camp for several years, he only disdained men like the Marquis of Loyalty. Disdain like an ant. "Fourth brother." The prince frowned and looked at Ji Chenghao unhappily, "Lord of Loyalty is a person protected by the Queen Mother. He is talented and knowledgeable, and he works hard-"

"Your Highness, you don't have to tell me this." King Ming interrupted him, "I was ordered to confiscate the family property today. My duty is only to fulfill the will of my father. Other things are not my responsibility."

"Fourth brother should know that many ministers in the court are dissatisfied with the Marquis of Loyalty. The impeachment in the memorial may not be true. It's not good for fourth brother to rush to tear his face at this time." The prince looked uneasy, "What if there is no evidence, how will fourth brother deal with it?"

What if there is no evidence?

Is he going to show goodwill to a treacherous person?

King Ming was indifferent. The emperor had never issued an order before, otherwise he would not have waited until now to eliminate the treacherous people in the court.

"Your Highness." Situ Xuan's eyes fell on the prince's face, "I have always been loyal, and the prince knows it best."

The prince did know it, but this time the confiscation of property was not his responsibility.

Although his father said that he should act together with the King of Ming, the Cavalry Battalion was under the full control of Ji Chenghao and only obeyed his orders.

He, the prince, was just here to make up the numbers.

Ji Fengao had a gloomy expression. On the way here, he tried his best to send a message to the Queen Mother, but there was no chance at all. The King of Ming acted quickly and decisively, leaving him no time to send someone to inform him.

If the royal items cannot be seized in the Marquis' Mansion today, the King of Ming will pay the price for his actions today in the following days!
