People in Zongwu: Starting with the Yin Gui Sect

Chapter 314

When Cao Huachun brought people to the harem, all the eunuchs in the harem had been ordered by Wu Yu to stand in rows. What he had to do this time was to pull out all those who had impure thoughts and had connections with the outside world.

Although these people were well hidden and even escaped Zhu Youxiao's previous cleanups, they had nowhere to hide under the system panel.

In addition to these palace maids and eunuchs, even those old imperial concubines, selected concubines, and even the newly canonized Empress Yi'an Zhang Yan were asked to stand not far away to watch.

"Are all the people here?"

Seeing that Cao Huachun had brought people over, Wu Yu confirmed with Wang Chengen again.

"Master, they are all here, all the eunuchs, palace maids, and even the Queen, several imperial concubines, and selected concubines are not left behind."

Wu Yu nodded, and then his eyes swept over the palace maids and eunuchs, "I guess you all know the purpose of my summoning you this time!"

Wu Yu's words made all the palace maids and eunuchs tremble.

Do you know? Of course you know, because they have experienced this kind of thing countless times, and every time, many people died.

Especially when Emperor Tianqi fell into the water two years ago, more than 300 palace maids and more than 700 eunuchs in the inner court were beaten to death in front of everyone.

The caning lasted for three days before it was completely over. Afterwards, the entire Forbidden City was shrouded in a blood mist for a long time. This time, after the new emperor ascended the throne, there was another big purge. I don’t know how many people will suffer.

"I hate people who are disloyal the most. They eat the rice in their bowls and smash the bowls in the pots. They take the salary in the palace while accepting bribes from outsiders. They reveal everything in the palace. You decide whether they deserve to die.

However, God is merciful, and I just ascended the throne and don't want to cause more killings. Therefore, I will give you a chance now. As long as you tell me the information you have revealed over the years and the identity of the people who bribed you, and finally hand over the bribes you have received over the years, I can spare your life and even give you an extra month's salary to let you leave the palace.

Of course, if there are stubborn people, that's fine. You can try and see if I can find it out. "

After saying that, Wu Yu signaled Wang Chengen to bring a stick of incense and light it, "Now you have an hour to think carefully. If anyone still has a fluke mentality after an hour, don't blame me for being ruthless."

After saying that, Wu Yu sat directly on the dragon chair and waited quietly. He wanted to see how many people would take the initiative to stand up, and then how many people would have a fluke mentality

Soon, a quarter of an hour passed, and no one stood up. After two quarters of an hour, no one stood up. It was not until three quarters of an hour later that a little palace maid stood up tremblingly because she couldn't bear the pressure. Tears kept dripping like money, but she didn't dare to make a sound at all.

Once there is one, there will be two. After seeing the first person stand up, soon more and more people chose to stand up. When the incense was completely burned out, more than a hundred people had left the original team.

And seeing this scene, Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun's faces were gloomy and almost dripping with water. Who would have thought that there would be so many people who were disloyal in the harem of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Wu Yu saw that no one stood up, so he said: "Very good, all those who have stood up, stand to the right. As for those who are still stubborn, don't blame me for being cruel. I gave you a chance, but you didn't take it seriously and always felt that I couldn't find you."

"Cao Daban!"

"The old slave is here!"

"I will pull out all the names I call out later. Since they are not afraid of death, I will fulfill their wishes."

After hearing Wu Yu's order, Cao Huachun immediately ordered a group of Yulin imperial guards to come to the palace maids and eunuchs who were standing, and waited for Wu Yu to call out the names, and then they arrested people without hesitation.

"Liu Yong'e!"

As Wu Yu called out the first name, the nearest imperial guards dragged the palace maid out directly, and no matter how she cried, it was useless.

"Qin Xiaole, Jia Qing..."

As Wu Yu called out the names, they were dragged out one by one, until the last eunuch named Li Kun was dragged out. It was all over. There were 37 eunuchs, which was equivalent to one-third of those who came out on their own initiative.

And this man named Li Kun was not of low status. He was the seal-holding eunuch of Shangbao, one of the twelve prisons. Even such a powerful person in the palace actually accepted bribes from outside and sold the information in the palace.

"Your Majesty, spare my life, Your Majesty, spare my life, I will never dare to do it again, please forgive me this time!"

Li Kun did not expect that as the seal-holding eunuch of Shangbao, one dayHe was actually arrested, so he could only kowtow and beg the emperor to spare his life.

But no matter how he begged for mercy, even if his head was broken, Wu Yu was unmoved.

If it was an ordinary palace maid or eunuch, it would be fine, but as the seal holder of a prison, he had connections with outsiders. If he didn't die, who would die?

On weekdays, the eunuchs who had the most contact with the emperor were these eunuchs. If such people could even reveal the emperor's affairs, how could the emperor be safe?

When the other palace maids and eunuchs saw that Li Kun, the seal holder of a prison, was brought out, they were even more afraid of His Majesty.

"Cao Daban, these 37 people who are disloyal should be dealt with according to the rules. As for the others who have come forward, after interrogation, if there is nothing particularly serious, do as I said just now.

Also, it is best to do this kind of thing every few months. I don't want anything in this palace to be spread outside in the future!"

"I obey your order!"

"Okay, let's do this. You take the people away and interrogate them slowly. As for the others, I will let Wang Daban tell them to disperse!"

After a pause, Wu Yu, as if he remembered something, continued: "By the way, let Keshi move out of the palace."

For Keshi, Wu Yu originally planned to grind her to ashes like Chongzhen in history, but considering that Zhu Youxiao in this time and space is still alive, he decided to spare her life.

Of course, her title of Fengsheng Madam must not be used again, and not only her, but also the titles and stolen money of her relatives in her family must be taken back.

"I obey your order!"

After seeing Wu Yu off, Wang Chengen came to the queens and concubines and said respectfully: "Ladies, please come in!"

"Humph!"

The concubines snorted coldly, and it was obvious that many of the people who were just captured were their people.
