Molun's threats did not dispel Wufeng's idea of causing a storm in the East China Sea. Although he also made some concessions and agreed to the Legal Affairs Department's intervention in the investigation of the "Innocence Movement" case in the East China Sea a week later, he and Molun still made an agreement. , that is, the Legal Affairs Department must not interfere with all military operations during this period. If the Legal Affairs Department finds any problems during this period, it can only record them in advance. Everything needs to wait until the case is fully investigated and dealt with before raising objections again.
In fact, Wu Feng also knows that Morun's opinion should be correct in theory. All people are equal before the law, and no power should transcend the law. However, this is only one direction of legal development. In Wu Feng's mind, this can only be It is something that can only be viewed from a distance but not played with. It is mostly fantasy. If we really want to reach this state, Wu Feng believes that we cannot see such signs in the current era, but the influence brought by this development direction can be It can effectively restrain some stupid monarchs, but for Wu Feng, this should be a good reminder. It can effectively warn him not to go too far, but it must not become a shackle to restrain and restrict himself.
Everything must serve his own grand plan, and everything must be subject to his own grand plan. As he himself said, time is still long, but opportunities wait for no one. There are still many things that need to be perfected. Only when the conditions for the establishment of a new empire can be achieved After he matures, he will implement it step by step. Now many things still have to be carried out according to his own plans. Of course, Wufeng also wrote to Liang Chongxin twice, asking him to grasp it within a certain limit and not to expand the attack area unlimitedly. After all, Donghai It is also another important economic circle of the empire. The expansion of the scope of the movement may also hurt the enthusiasm of local industrial and commercial forces. This is not in line with the interests of the new empire in the future.
The innocence storm set off by Liang Chongxin in the East China Sea soon had a huge deterrent effect. Many gentry and merchants who had not been notified by the movement headquarters also took the initiative to explain their problems to the Internal Affairs Department. Of course, most of them reported themselves During this period, all these people were released without exception due to their interactions with Situ Tai. This also made the industrial and commercial forces in Donghai heave a big sigh of relief. As long as this turmoil is not aimed at people who have business dealings with Situ Tai, most of them can easily sit back and watch what happens. As for the Qin family and Donghai The Du family, the Xu family, and the gentry and merchants in the East China Sea all disapproved of their actions. The three families were closely connected with the Japanese and monopolized almost the entire overseas trade of Jinling and even the East China Sea. Yungang off the coast of Jinling almost became the Du family's home. At Xujiadi's private dock, almost all fleets sail to Wadi, and ships from Wadi frequently dock at Yungang. Under Situ Tai's rule, the gentry and merchants dared not speak out about this situation, but now it seems that the three families are in trouble because of their transactions with the Japanese.
The wave of innocence that started in Jinling soon spread to neighboring Dengzhou and Pengcheng. Cao Yuansheng, the richest man in Dengzhou, was imprisoned on the last day of November. The Dengzhou Shipyard that he controlled was seized, and Zhang Taiping, the leading aristocratic landowner in Pengcheng, suffered the same treatment on the first day of December. The depth of this storm almost made the entire East China Sea feel a chill, although not A few people were released after going to the Internal Affairs Bureau to explain their affairs clearly, but there were also many people who never walked out of that gloomy door. It's like the mouth of the King of Hell, open wide and waiting to swallow everything. Everything depends on the mood of the King of Hell. If you are in a good mood, people can be released, but if you are in a bad mood, you may have to spend your next night in prison.
When the month-long innocence campaign finally came to an end, someone calculated that at least two-thirds of the famous gentry and merchants in Jinling Mansion had been interviewed by the headquarters, and one-fifth of them were never able to do so again. After walking out of the prison gate of Jinling Prefecture, their property was also seized and auctioned after the trial by the post-trial court.
When Wu Feng was awakened by a burst of shouts of killing from the guards, he didn't even understand what was going on. Needless to say, the two fiery bodies beside her belonged to Su Jie and Gu Mingxia. Huofeng, whose whole body was already tense, touched the long sword beside the bed before she could even get dressed. The same goes for Su Jie. The golden needle in the secret box beside her pillow is already in her hand, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the possible assassin at any time.
Wu Feng, on the other hand, was not too nervous. The assassin chose to forcefully break into the Prince of Qin's Mansion to carry out the assassination, which was undoubtedly the stupidest method. There were dozens of guards on duty in the Prince of Qin's Mansion day and night, and the outer and inner courtyards were surrounded by multiple security systems. In addition to In addition to a large number of guards, there are also various defensive weapons such as traps, dug pits, nest bows, and crossbows scattered everywhere. More than a dozen mastiff dogs in the wall between the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard all swarmed together at night. It was released and surrounded the entire inner courtyard. Several sentry towers occupying the commanding heights firmly controlled the sky above the entire Qin Palace. Anyone who tried to use light body skills to pass through these sentries who had trained a pair of night eyes would be monitored at any time. Facing the attacks of countless crossbow bolts like a storm, it can be said that it is almost impossible to storm the Prince of Qin's Mansion secretly.
Gu Mingxia was a little annoyed. Now that she was living in Prince Qin's Mansion, the chances of Ai Lang being lucky seemed to be getting less and less. Since An Qier, Situ Yutang and Lin Yuexin all moved into Prince Qin's Mansion, they had less time to spend alone with Ai Lang. Gu Mingxia knew her identity a lot, and she did not expect to occupy any important position in Wu Feng's harem. She was quite satisfied to be able to stay by Wu Feng's side. Fortunately, her spring and lively personality also impressed Wu Feng. She is fond of her, and because of her good personal relationship with Su Jie, most of the time she and Su Jie can be blessed by Wu Feng, but even this situation is rare, except for a few women who are expected to compete for the position of concubine. , Xueshan sisters, Charlotte, Guanhua Ernu, Di Leina and several other female guards seemed to be showing signs of joining this ranks, which made Gu Mingxia even more dissatisfied. It was not easy to spend time with Ai Lang, but when something like this happened, how could she and Su Jie not be angry.
Feeling that the pair of buds on her chest were being sucked by Ailang's hot lips again, Gu Mingxia's whole body went limp, and the sword in her hand almost fell to the ground. Su Jie on the side also felt that Ailang's clutches were already between her legs. He wandered around looking for something, quickly clamped his legs together, and twisted his body to avoid the invasion of Ailang's clutches. It was no joke at this time. If anything went wrong, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
The footsteps from the outer courtyard soon stopped at the entrance between the inner and outer courtyards. At this time, the sound of fighting outside had disappeared. Except for a vague sound of arguing, it seemed that no accident could be heard. Wu Feng casually The cool bodies of the two girls were dragged into the brocade quilt, and their big hands immediately began to move. However, he soon found that it was difficult to continue the good things tonight, because Konoe quickly passed through the entrance and walked in this direction, and people along the way The last guard also gave him permission, obviously there was something he needed to report to him.
Wu Feng, who got up with his clothes on, was a little surprised by the other party's courage to actually use this method to win his attention. Wu Feng couldn't help but admire the other party's bravery. He was making a joke with his own life. Although the method was not advisable, it could get him attention. Wu Feng stood up to meet each other. At least the other party succeeded in this regard.
Standing ten meters away, the assassin who had been firmly controlled by the guards looked very calm. It seemed that her purpose was just to achieve this effect. This made Wu Feng very puzzled. If the other party really needed anything The reaction can be done through reasonable channels. Could it be said that I am so unreasonable or ignorant of political affairs? Wu Feng felt a little incomprehensible.
Although they were firmly under control, in order to prevent accidents, the guards still tried to keep the assassins farther away from Wu Feng, and they still arranged two lines of defense between Wu Feng and the assassins to prevent the assassins from deliberately Causing such a situation to carry out a fatal blow.
"Okay, your goal has been achieved. I am Li Wufeng. Feel free to say whatever you have to say now." He looked at the other party up and down a little coldly, and could see that the other party was a woman. A grimace mask was placed on the ground, probably It was originally worn by the other party, but the girl's face was very mediocre. Except for a pair of very smart eyes, there was nothing surprising about it.
"Your Highness King Qin, please forgive me for using this method to ask for an audience. However, if I use other methods, I will not be able to see His Highness at all. And I have to do this because I am responsible for hundreds of lives of the Xu family in Jinling." The girl looked like this. He was very calm. Apart from some anger in his words, his expression was unusually indifferent.
"Oh? Are you Xu Yiwei?!" It seemed that he suddenly understood. Wu Feng had heard about the reputation of the woman in front of him from Guanxi Shuangdie. Xu Yiwei, "Phantom Lingzhen", was the daughter of the Xu family in Jinling. A fish that slipped through the net when Liang Chongxin was encircling and suppressing the Xu family, one of the four beauties in the martial arts world!
"It's the girl of the people. The girl of the people has a secret statement. I hope that His Highness can give the girl of the people a chance." The girl's expression also moved slightly, and her eyes showed surprise. She obviously didn't know how her name was known to the other party.
"Secret information? What secret information? If you have any secret information, you can report it to the Eastern Navy Management Committee. I will not interfere with these things that I shouldn't." Rejecting the other party's request flatly, Wu Feng said coldly: "This is yours Are you your true face? In this case, do you think I will listen to you pouring out your so-called secrets of grievances?!"
