Seeing his brother disappear from the corner of the street, Lei Yun straightened his official hat, gave a few instructions to the guards following the sedan chair, and then landed the sedan chair in front of his house. He slowly got out of the sedan chair, stood at the door and said to the fierce-looking centurion: "What crime have I committed? Which government office ordered you to come and surround my mansion!"
After all, the court has not yet issued a clear order to directly remove the Minister of Revenue from his post. The gatekeeper Zhao Baihu is a little undecided and is feeling a little nervous about how to respond. Then he hears the sound of horse hooves in the distance, followed by a group of people who rush in from outside like a whirlwind and stop in front of the Lei family's door.
Immediately afterwards, a group of Jinyiwei dressed in Feiyu uniforms dismounted from their horses, and stood in front of the door of the Lei family with embroidered spring swords slung over their shoulders, surrounding Lei Yun's sedan chair.
At this time, the newly appointed Jinyiwei deputy commander, Lord Chen Dong, was looking at the former Minister of Revenue with a scrutinizing eye. He spoke to the next prisoner word by word, "According to the imperial decree, the Minister of Revenue Lei Yun has privately stored prohibited items, acted recklessly, colluded with both insiders and outsiders, deceived his superiors and subordinates, and the Ministry of Personnel is ordered to remove Lei Yun from his position as Minister of Revenue, confiscate Lei's mansion, and imprison all Lei's family members pending trial!"
Captain Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Lei Yun, who was still speaking in an official tone. "Lord Lei, we are following the orders of the emperor. We are sorry for this."
Lei Yun’s face was as pale as gold paper, and his eyes were lifeless.
Having been an official for so many years, how could he not know the weight of these words? Possessing prohibited items privately and colluding with both insiders and outsiders, these two charges may seem vague, but anyone who has anything to do with these two words will never have a good ending. But now, he has all of them at once!
What on earth is this all about?!
At this moment, Qi Yunxi also looked at Master Tong Er with a sullen expression, and asked in disbelief: "What on earth is this all about! ? Lei Yun is the Minister!
He is not just a nobody. Even in the capital city where there are so many princes, he is a well-known figure! How could he be like this? ! How could he be like this!
Even if he got a golden jade robe from the Shen family, with the power of the thundercloud, it should be effortless to suppress the Su family. Why did things come to this?!
Qi Yunxi could not care about anything else. She stared at Master Tong Er with her eyes wide open: "What is the key to the matter? You actually learned the secret that Lei Yun mentioned from Xu Daxueshi, so you should know where the taboo was violated, right?"
Mr. Bai had been playing the invisible man at the side, but at this moment he had to speak up. He coughed and said, "Madam, don't panic!"
Master Tong Er sneered: "Who told the Lei family to be too arrogant! Even if they didn't break the rules, they shouldn't show off this kind of thing! But they did it, not only showing off, but also presenting it to the fifth prince! Do you know what that is?! It's the golden jade burial suit that the late emperor gave to the deposed emperor!"
How long will this joke caused by such a thing cause psychological trauma to the current emperor
Whoever gets this thing should never see the light of day.
If I take it out, it would be a slap in the face of Emperor Yuanfeng, reminding him of his miserable past, and then blatantly mocking him - you see, you can't find this thing anywhere, but my children and grandchildren can easily take it out to show off, and even bribe your son.
How ridiculous! How absurd!
Qi Yunxi was no longer able to breathe. She opened her eyes wide and leaned back in the armchair. For a moment, the whole room was silent.
Yes, now she finally understood where the problem lay and how serious it was.
But the key to the problem lies not in this, but in another point-----is it because Lei Yun is really unlucky and too ostentatious, or is someone deliberately using this golden jade robe to set up a trap
If it is a setup.
Then the Shen family, the Lei family and even the fifth prince were all pawns in this man's hands. In the end, these arrangements trapped the big dragon Lei Yun.
Su Yao, does she really have this ability?!
The person who thought of going with him was Mr. Bai, a Taoist priest in white. He also looked at Qi Yunxi with a serious expression: "It doesn't seem like a coincidence..."
Although it is hard to believe, for these experts who are experienced in playing political tricks, all of this is indeed an impeccable trap.
Then, this was probably really a trap set by Su Yao.
Qi Yunxi took a deep breath and finally called out Su Yao's name again through gritted teeth.
Of course, the meaning this time is completely different.
In the past, she treated Su Yao as an object of venting her anger, with disdain and superiority in her dissatisfaction, but now, her resentment was mixed with an unconcealable shock and anxiety.
Apart from other things, even Lei Yun and she didn't know the story of the Golden Jade Clothes, so where did Su Yao get it from? And he even designed a plan to let the Golden Jade Clothes fall into Lei Yun's hands!
Master Tong Er didn’t want to see her gritting her teeth. Seeing that she only stared at Su Yao and cursed him, he said impatiently: “Lord Xu said that Leiyun is different from others. I’m afraid that the line we set up in the capital will have to be completely withdrawn. In addition, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue has been replaced, which is a heavy loss for us. Not to mention anything else, it cost no less than hundreds of thousands of taels to open up the Leiyun line...”
How huge is the investment
But, such an important position was lost because of Qi Yunxi's selfishness and his brutality against a little girl. Not to mention that Master Tong was furious, even the usually calm Scholar Xu was very angry!
If you withdraw this line, it means that the business from the Weaving Bureau will be completely cut off. Otherwise, if the Ministry of Revenue investigates your deficit, it will definitely find out the truth!
Qi Yunxi's eyes went dark and he almost vomited blood.
On the other hand, Xu Chong was also very dissatisfied with Qi Yunxi, whom he had always respected: "Women's opinions! Women's opinions! It is clear that all efforts should be put on the emperor's eldest grandson. It is the time to make a concerted effort, but Auntie insisted on making trouble. Now the thunder cloud incident has shocked the court and distracted everyone's attention, and it has also caused the emperor to be furious... ..!"
In comparison, the mess caused by Hu Jianbang was really not enough.
After so much hard work in planning, if used properly, this would be a perfect point to attack Xiao Heng, and it could also be used to gain advantage over him. Just as Xiao Heng had lost the support of the people, a golden jade burial suit fell from the sky, knocking everyone dizzy. No one paid attention to what Hu Jianbang was doing anymore, and everyone's attention was completely attracted by this incident.
