The Eight Demons of Suffering were not found, and the military actions of the Knight Guard lacked legitimacy.

In the eyes of officials who impeached Du Heng, as long as there are no "Eight Demons of Suffering", the things that happened in Shantang will be just a "murder case", and there are a little more murders.

Since it is a murder case, it is the scope of work of Jingzhao Prefecture and the Ministry of Justice. What does it have to do with the Xiaoqi Guard?

You said there are too many people who died?

Those who died were all orphan refugees, who cares? Some people even secretly felt that the more these orphan refugees died, the better the urban environment and public security.

Of course, the fundamental reason for such large-scale impeachment is not the "lack of legitimacy of military operations", but... Du Heng opened the scars of corruption among officials.

There are more than 300 good halls in Jidu and Guicheng, and nearly 100 good halls were sacrificed by blood. There are also problems with the other good halls, but none of them are clean.

This is still the capital city. By extension, how many filth and dirt are there in all the good halls in the entire Daqi territory?

The incident of the collusion between the Jingcheng Shantang and the Iron Knife Alliance can involve the vast majority of officials of the Ministry of Rites "Chengen Buzes" and other officials of other departments who have interests in their relationship.

When this scar is revealed, more people will offend.

Therefore... After the military operation of the Xiaoqi Guard to investigate Shantang in various places was over, the "Eight Suffer Demons" were not found. The officials were very happy and immediately criticized the rationality of the operation for this reason, in order to prove Du Heng's investigation of Shantang in detail.

All actions are "illegal", and the corruption found out is naturally "not worthy of trust".

In political struggles, facts and truth are not important at all. What matters is who has the right to speak.

As long as Du Heng is defeated, Shantang corruption will not exist.

"Your Majesty, the memorial sent by the cabinet."

Anlun brought a few eunuchs and brought a large box of memorials into the imperial study room.

"Is it all impeached Du Heng?"

Emperor Qi glanced at him and frowned tightly.

"It is indeed memorial to impeach His Highness Heng."

An Lun bowed and reported to Emperor Qi.

"Don't look at it anymore, throw it out and burn it."

Emperor Qi waved his hand. The little eunuch carrying the memorial box quickly carried the memorial down again.

"Why is King Heng... so reckless?"

After the eunuch left, Emperor Qi turned his head and looked at An Lun, saying, "The Shantang case has been boiling forever. King Heng is still too young and has no sense of doing things."

An Lun lowered his head and said nothing, not daring to answer the conversation.

"You go and tell him that I will suppress this for him first."

Emperor Qi's face was gloomy, "Tell him that he must be cautious in his future and not lose his big picture because of small things. Which is more important than the literati and the literati?"

"yes!"

An Lun bowed to take the order and left.

………………………………………

The Knight Guard's Fushi Department.

Du Heng received an "oral order" conveyed by Anlun.

"Prince, the emperor asked me to tell you that you must be cautious in your future and not lose the big picture because of small things. Which is more important than the literati and the literati?"

Compared with common people and scholars, which one is more important?

Only then did Du Heng realize that in this era, people are unequal!

Especially in this era of extraordinary power, the gap between common people and scholars is simply a world of difference.

Ordinary common people without extraordinary power were not even qualified to rebel, and they slapped them to death with a backhand.

The reason why water can carry boats and can also overturn boats is completely unworkable here. The common people do not pose any threat to the rule of the dynasty.

The scholars and officials are the "water" that "can carry boats and can overturn boats", and the common people are just mud and sand under the water, meaningless.

Du Heng let out a long breath, but his heart was filled with anger.

Such a dynasty really doesn't match my views. Maybe... I'll just rebel.

Instead! I will be this emperor!

After sending An Lun down, Du Heng suppressed the idea of ​​"replace it" and first solved the problem in front of him.

"Zhao Hongcheng!"

Du Heng stood up and shouted outside the door.

"The last one will be here!"

Tiangou Zhao Hongcheng hurried into the lobby and bowed to Du Heng.

"I think the Eight Demons of Suffer must be hidden in the capital. It is very likely that the thief of the Demon Sect is planning some bigger conspiracy."

Du Heng ordered Zhao Hongcheng, "Send all the secret spies of the cavalry guards to do their best to investigate the whereabouts of the Eight Suffer Demons."

"yes!"

Zhao Hongcheng bowed and took the order, left.

………………………………………

In the evening, Du Heng and Wei Yuan left the Fushi Office and returned to Yuheng Villa.

Standing in the study, Du Heng looked at a map of the capital hanging in front of him and frowned tightly.

The Demon Sect has refined the "Eight Suffering Demons", but why has it been hidden?

What is the purpose?

After spending so much effort, I finally practiced the "Eight Demons of Suffering" but didn't let them go and kill people. Isn't it just used as a collectible?

People in the devil are extremely selfish. They did not release the "Eight Suffering Demons", because... it is definitely because... it is more beneficial to them if they do not release them.

Where is this "profit"?

Du Heng frowned tightly, and couldn't find a clue at all.

"Prince, Lin Han asks for a meeting."

At this time, Wei Yuan came up to report.

Lin Han? What is he going to do?

A little surprise came to Du Heng's heart, and he waved to Wei Yuan, "Let him come in."

This Lin Han is naturally the Senior Brother Lin who had defected to Du Heng in the last Huanghuagang incident.

A moment later, Lin Han walked in and saluted Du Heng, "Welcome to the prince."

"No gift!"

Du Heng waved his hand, "Senior Brother Lin, you are visiting late at night, don't you know what's important?"

"Prince, this evening, I suddenly received a secret letter saying that I would hand it over to you."

Lin Han took out a letter and reached out and handed it to Du Heng.

"Secret letter?"

Du Heng frowned and reached out to take the letter.

When he opened it, Du Heng's eyes shrank.

"Do you want to know where the Eight Suffer Demons are? At midnight, we will meet in Guizhou Pier."

Who wrote this letter? What is the purpose?

He secretly activated the "Plum Blossom Yi Number", and Du Heng used his ability to "seek good and avoid bad luck" to distinguish good and bad luck.

No blame! No danger.

However, there is never absolutely accurate thing about divination. Even if you want to go, you must be fully prepared.

After putting away the letter, Du Heng nodded at Lin Han, "Thank you, Senior Brother Lin, for sending the letter. I still have important things, so I won't leave Senior Brother Lin."

"Yes, Lin Han takes his leave!"

Lin Han bowed and said goodbye.

Du Heng called Liu Jing, Wei Yuan and Bai Meier over, "I will go to the city wharf at midnight. You three are ready to pick you up secretly."

"Your Highness, the son of a thousand gold, cannot sit in the hall. How can you take risks with your own life?"
