Gu Zhengyang was really anxious now. He listened to Mrs. Gu's questioning, stopped, turned to look at Mrs. Gu, and said with a tangled face: "Mother, everyone from the Imperial City Department has come. If I teach me a lesson, I have to go to the Imperial City Department."

Old Mrs. Gu was calm and calm, walking forward with a cane, and said, "Do you still remember what I said?"

Gu Zhengyang was stunned and said anxiously, "What are you saying? Mother, it's time to deal with the Imperial City Department..."

When Mrs. Gu saw Gu Zhengyang leaving again, she knocked on the crutch in a pity and said, "Go and get the account book!"

Gu Zhengyang opened his eyes suddenly, and he reacted, and said in surprise and joy, "Okay, okay! I'll go now."

Regardless of the others, Gu Zhengyang turned around and hurried to the account.

At this time, Cai You and the imperial guards of the imperial city guards rushed in. He looked around and shouted angrily: "Around the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, you can't escape alone! Ningyuan Marquis Gu Zhengyang is disrespectful to resist the orders, and he repeatedly resists the emperor's orders, and he is not obsessed with the emperor's orders, and his crimes are unforgivable!"

The imperial guards of the Imperial City Department rushed into the inside like wolves and tigers, and the outside even surrounded the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, which was irrigated.

The Ningyuan Marquis Mansion was in chaos, and countless people ran around in panic and shouted.

The female family members of the Gu family came out of the inner courtyard and quickly gathered next to the old lady Gu, chattering and crying.

"What's wrong with mother..."

Gu Zhengyang's official wife, Madam Gu said in horror: "What happened to her mother? Why has the Imperial City Department been here?"

Old Mrs. Gu looked at a group of women and snorted coldly: "What a panic! I'm not dead yet!"

Old Mrs. Gu was still very prestigious. With a cold snorkeling, the group of female relatives immediately did not dare to speak, but were still anxious.

At this moment, Cai You and his men rushed to the middle hall. The guards around him were faster, and they controlled them when they saw them, and even searched one by one.

Gu Zhengyang hurriedly came out from the account room with a large box of books and said anxiously: "Commander Cai, Commander Cai, take slow, take slow."

Cai You held the sword on his waist and looked at Gu Zhengyang and said coldly: "The official's order is to order the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion to think about his mistakes behind closed doors. In just one day, Marquis Gu went to the Duke of Qi's Mansion to attend a banquet, and he also contradicted Mr. Zhang in public! Marquis Ningyuan, you did not take the official's order seriously at all and did not take the imperial court seriously?"

If you can settle it, you don’t have to worry about it. If you can’t settle it, it’s a heinous crime!

Gu Zhengyang is not a new boy in the officialdom, so of course he understood and held the box and said, "Commander Cai, the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion is willing to donate all the wealth to the official family. Please refer to Command Cai for the transfer."

Ning Yuanhou’s words are very clear. If you are willing to give the official family, you will get as much as you want.

Cai You's face moved and stared at the box in Ning Yuanhou's hand.

This box is not big, but with his understanding of Ningyuan Hou Mansion, there are at least tens of millions of fertile land, dozens or even hundreds of good shops, various antiques, calligraphy and paintings, silks, satin, cash, etc., and the total amount will exceed one million guan!

He just deducts a little, and it will cost tens of thousands!

But Cai You calmed down in a flash, took a step forward, and said in a deep voice: "Marquis Ningyuan, you have to understand one thing. Now the Political Affairs Hall ordered the confiscation of the Marquis Ningyuan's Mansion. What you want to donate is also to the court. This matter has nothing to do with the government!"

Gu Zhengyang was shocked and hurriedly said, "Yes, I'm wrong. Commander Cai, please hand it over to Mr. Zhang. I also want to meet the official family to apologize in person. Please Command Cai fulfill his promise!"

Gu Zhengyang put the box at Cai You's feet, then knelt down and said.

Gu Zhengyang had no chance of luck anymore, and he knelt honestly, with cold sweat on his face and frightened in his heart.

"It's too late!"

Cai You did not look at the box again, waved his hand and said, "Detain everyone in the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, dare to resist the law, and kill him on the spot!"

"yes!"

The Imperial City Guard responded loudly, surrounding, arresting people, and raiding the house, and the process was as smooth as water.

Soon, all the female family members were detained in the backyard, while the man was detained in the front yard. While interrogating, the house began to be raided and the wealth of the Ningyuan Hou Mansion was cleaned up.

During this time, the periphery of Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion was full of people, and it had even spread throughout Kaifeng City.

"This Ningyuan Hou was just demoted and has been investigated again. What happened?"

"I heard that, the official's will requires the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion to close the door to thank the guests and reflect on it. However, the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion did not, but went to the Duke of Qi's Mansion to attend the banquet and had a conflict with Xianggong Zhang..."

"Is this Ning Yuanhou so bold? He regards the imperial edict as nothing..."

"Is this Ningyuan Marquis so brave?"

"Shh, I heard that they only care about the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager and do not care about the official family at all..."

"Your news is no longer accurate. I heard that it was Ning Yuan Hou who intervened in the government affairs and angered Mr. Zhang. It was Mr. Zhang who ordered the house to be raided."

"Grandpa Zhang? What exactly did this Ningyuan Hou do?"

"What I did is not important, one day the emperor is the minister..."

"Look, it's killing the chicken to warn the monkey..."

...

The Duke of Qi State.

Princess Qi'an, who was still having tea with a group of close friends leisurely, heard that Ning Yuanhou was surrounded by the Imperial City Office, and his expression changed. He accidentally knocked over the exquisite tea cup in his hand.

"Princess, what's wrong?"

"Is it because of your physical discomfort?"

"Or, that's all here today?"

A group of noble ladies stared at Princess Qi'an with concern, and their tone was full of worry.

Princess Qi'an knew who they were, and wiped his hands with a rare smile, saying, "Don't worry about a little thing, you drink tea first, I'll go."

Princess Qi'an stood up and left the living room directly.

As soon as she went out, she said anxiously: "Where is the Duke?"

The maid next to him hurriedly said, "The Duke has been in the account."

Princess Qi'an looked bored and rushed to the account room quickly.

In the living room.

A group of lords and ladies began to approach and whisper.

"Princess, I actually laughed. This is the first time, right?"

"I heard that the princess went to ask for the Empress Dowager to see him was rejected."

"Yes, I heard about it, so why didn't I go in."

"It's strange that Mr. Zhang came here at noon. What is the situation in the Duke of Qi's mansion?"

"Can it be that the Duke of Qi leaned against the official family and alienated the Empress Dowager?"

"Do you think so? The one in our family also guessed this..."

"So that's how it is. Our family is still confused. It turns out that the Duke of Qi has quietly leaned on the official family..."

"Is this Qi Duke's Mansion going to make a fortune?"

"Their prince Qi Heng will also take the exam this year, right?"

"Qi Family, this is really going to take off again..."

The crowd whispered, Princess Qi'an had arrived at the account room and drove everyone away, only the couple were there.

Princess Qi'an looked at Duke Qi who was flipping through the account books and said lightly: "The Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion has been seized."

The Duke of Qi continued to sort out the account books in his hand and said, "The Marquis of Ningyuan jumped so happily. Someone in Kaifeng Mansion committed suicide. The court wanted to vent his anger and asked me to lead the donation of wealth. This is already enduring. If I can't pay it tomorrow, I will be the next Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion."

Princess Qi'an frowned, his tone became more disgusting and cold, and said, "What after handing over? Are you still the Duke of Qi, am I still the princess?"

Duke Qi paused his hand and continued to sort it out, saying, "If you don't hand over, it will be the fate of Marquis Ningyuan."

Princess Qi'an saw that the Duke of Qi seemed to have made up his mind and said with anger, "I'll go to see the Empress Dowager, even if I kneel to death outside the palace gate, I'll see you!"

Duke Qi did not speak, and Princess Qi'an could not persuade or stop him. At this point, he no longer cared about anything.

The Duke of Qi’s Mansion was quite calm, but the other Su Mansion was in chaos.

The charge of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion was "disrespectful to resist the order". The Su Mansion, like the Ningyuan Marquis, was naturally the most frightened.

Su Shi ran out of the city on the same day after receiving the order, and invited Prime Minister Su Song back. Now that the court has settled, the Su family is not the first, but the second!
