"Minister Jie certainly knows how to prepare ahead of ti. I wonder when Minister Jie sent the second young mistress and the little master out of Beijing?"
When they planned to take action, they already controlled several main gates of Beijing. The people entering and exiting were either unstoppable or not needing to be stopped. They made strict records of these people’s movents but never received any news of the Jie Family’s second young mistress leaving the city.
It seems she didn’t leave the city by ordinary ans.
Or perhaps she left before they sealed the city.
However, the second young mistress of the Jie Family is no ordinary person. She has Manxiu Building under her command, with businesses all over the country. After Gu Youyou left Beijing, she managed all the businesses, and the operational status from various places was consistently sent to the Jie Family in an orderly manner. How does one explain that?
Is it all a show for them?
Minister Jie smiled faintly, "Minister Cheng, if I rember correctly, it seems my Jie Family doesn’t have a great relationship with your Cheng Family, right? Why did you co to my Jie Family today without sending a post and without greeting as the head, yet went straight to my daughter-in-law?
Your age should be similar to that of this lord. You aren’t afraid of losing face, but I am. Get out..."
Jie Huanzhi, abandoning his usual grace, directly picked up a big broom to hit Minister Cheng.
Minister Cheng quickly retreated a few steps, hiding behind the Imperial Army.
Indeed, the n Minister Cheng brought were the Imperial Army, which the emperor still trusted wholeheartedly, yet they had already beco Jin Tianzhong’s n.
Jie Huanzhi was blocked by the Imperial Army. Furious, he gritted his teeth and said, "Just kill if you dare, let’s see if you dare, you bastards."
"Father!" Jie Zhonglin pulled him back, saying, "Forget it, let’s see what they intend to do."
Minister Cheng laughed heartily, "Minister Jie, seeing your actions with your son, are you planning to fight to the death?"
"Hmm..." Jie Huanzhi snorted coldly.
Minister Cheng said, "It seems you’re hitting a dead end, just based on you two?"
He looked at Jie Zhonglin, who was missing an arm, then looked at Jie Huanzhi, whose temples were graying, and laughed coldly.
"One disabled, one old man, if you know what’s best, you can still save a life. No, given Minister Jie’s skills, if you know what’s best, you could achieve great rits, yet you choose to go against us. I’ll see how long you can remain glorious."
"What can you do? My life is of no consequence, asking to work for you? Dream on."
Minister Cheng turned coldly to the Imperial Army behind him, "This old fool is stubborn, persuading him is just a waste of ti. Have soone keep an eye on these father and son, let’s go to the next house."
The Imperial Army left a few n to confine the Jie father and son, before moving on to the next house.
...
Eunuch Wan first went to find the Imperial Army, only to see soone familiar talking and laughing with the Imperial Army leader.
And that person, isn’t it Jin Tianzhong from the Ducal Residence?
This shocked him greatly, causing him to retreat back repeatedly to the Qianqing Palace.
Thus, of the three tasks the emperor entrusted him with, he actually completed only one, having secured the little box the emperor wanted.
But when he was leaving, upon seeing the patrolling Imperial Army, he halted.
If he guessed correctly, the Imperial Palace was no longer under the emperor’s control; the item the emperor instructed him to fetch must be extrely important, and it would be disastrous if it fell into their hands.
Thus, Eunuch Wan quickly retreated back to the Qianqing Palace, placing the little box into a large chest, which he then covered with the books and morials the emperor usually read.
