It's a pity that the prime minister had a plan, but he didn't expect that the plan could not keep up with the changes.
The next day when the Prime Minister's Mansion was surrounded by people, she was completely confused.
"General Ji, what do you mean?" The Prime Minister shouted coldly, looking at General Ji who was dressed in armor and ready for battle.
Although it was still early, there were many people who got up early to do business. Seeing that the Prime Minister's Mansion was surrounded by soldiers, they couldn't help but put down their burdens and look around.
"What's going on? Why is the Prime Minister's Mansion surrounded?"
"I don't know. How could such a good person like the Prime Minister do bad things? He must have been slandered."
"That's right, the Prime Minister is a good man."
The Prime Minister has established a very good image in the minds of the people, so at this time almost everyone thinks that someone is deliberately slandering the Prime Minister, or that they are mistaken.
"Someone reported that the Prime Minister is colluding with the enemy." General Ji said expressionlessly. She didn't know whether it was to tell the people or to let the Prime Minister hear clearly. Her voice was very loud.
"Humph, I naturally know whether I have colluded with the enemy. If General Ji wants to search, then please do so."
The Prime Minister moved aside the props and allowed General Ji to enter.
General Ji hugged her and said, "Thank you very much."
Then he called people in to search.
"You guys go over here."
"You go over there."
"Let's get another group of people over there, and the rest, follow me."
Recalling what Lin Zhiyu said when he asked her to come, he would focus on checking whether there were any hidden grids and secret passages. Looking at the prime minister's "upright body and not afraid of slanted shadows" look, General Ji almost immediately became convinced that there was something fishy.
The Prime Minister stood at the door and did not go in to take a look. He seemed very confident in himself and even comforted the people watching around him:
"Don't worry, your Majesty must have mistakenly believed the slander."
"Master Prime Minister, we believe you!"
"Yes, sir, we believe you!"
The Prime Minister looked a little proud and pretended to be moved and nodded.
Because the searchers were caught off guard, the prime minister's concubines didn't know what happened. When the soldiers broke in, they all screamed in panic.
"Sir, sergeant, this is the Prime Minister's Mansion, not a place for you to run wild!" A favored concubine said bravely.
"Madam, we are under orders to do something." The soldier did not look at him again, said "I'm sorry" and ordered a search.
This search caused everyone in the Prime Minister's house to be frightened. After the Prime Minister's concubines had dressed up, they ran to the door to seek comfort from the Prime Minister.
"General, there isn't one here!"
"Not here either!"
After searching almost everywhere, no evidence of collusion with the enemy was found as Lin Zhiyu said.
General Ji frowned. She believed what Lin Zhiyu said more than the current search results.
If His Majesty says there is, then there must be.
Although His Majesty is young, he has never ordered anything so involving an army and a large number of people.
"Keep searching!"
General Ji led several people to the prime minister's bedroom.
I just searched this place once, but found nothing.
According to her thinking, the bedroom and study should be the focus of the search.
She walked into the bedroom and searched inch by inch.
Until I walked to the closet and found that the closet was shaking a little after being pushed.
But when she wanted to push the wardrobe, she couldn't push it.
Something is wrong.
"You guys come here." General Ji called to the soldiers who came in with her. "Look around here for something that looks like a switch."
After hearing this, several people exchanged glances and walked over, not even sparing the floor.
"General Ji, there are signs of looseness in the floor here."
Someone noticed something was wrong.
There was also a flower stand and a pot of clivia on the loose floor.
"Move this flower stand."
"General, this flower stand cannot be moved."
Is there such a thing
General Ji walked over, took a look, and then stretched out his hand to turn the flowerpot vigorously.
There was only a roar, and the wardrobe was moved!
There is actually a door behind the wardrobe.
General Ji opens the door. Behind the door is a corridor.
The walls of the corridor were lined with shelves filled with all kinds of treasures.
There were several large boxes at the end. General Ji walked over and opened the boxes. There were actually many gold ingots inside.
There was also a small box placed on top of one of the boxes. General Ji opened it and saw several letters inside.
She took out the letter and read it roughly, and the more she read, the more frightened she became.
I didn’t expect that the prime minister, who has such a good reputation among the people, would actually collaborate with the enemy!
Breaking out in a cold sweat, she put the letter back, locked the box, turned around and said to the people outside: "Go and call them all over and carry these stolen goods out!"
Soon someone carried the box out.
"Don't worry, everyone, His Majesty is very fair."
General Ji just came out and heard the Prime Minister say this, and couldn't help but sneer: "Your Majesty is naturally very fair, so Prime Minister, should you go by yourself or let us take you away!"
"This is natural... what? What did you say?" The prime minister didn't come back to his senses for a while.
"Bring it up!"
As soon as General Ji finished speaking, the soldiers immediately took out the box.
In front of the people outside the door, General Ji opened all the boxes.
The wealth contained inside was jaw-dropping.
"I didn't expect that there is a secret passage in the Prime Minister's Mansion. It's really an eye-opener for the general."
"This... this..." The prime minister never expected that the secret passage would be discovered, and racked his brains to defend himself.
But when General Ji took out the small box inside, his face instantly turned as white as paper.
"Does the Prime Minister have anything else to say? Or do you want the general to read the contents of this box to everyone for you?"
"No! It's not mine! None of those things are mine!" The prime minister shook his head desperately.
General Ji, however, was a selfless man and directly ordered the Prime Minister to be taken away.
No one reacted to this dramatic change for a while. All the people and the prime minister's concubines looked at the prime minister being taken away and fell into deep thought.
The prime minister never dreamed that he would be exposed so quickly just because he offended Nan Feng.
Just saying "He is not worthy of being his queen", the other party blocked all her escape routes.
The person who was sworn to promise that he had done nothing wrong just a moment ago never imagined that the slap in the face would come so quickly...
The prime minister was arrested. Although Rong Kui came as an envoy, Lin Zhiyu would not care about this.
"Your Majesty, what does this mean?"
Rong Kui looked at the soldiers blocking the door and looked at the woman in front of him with a gloomy expression.
Lin Zhiyu, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, obviously looked more eye-catching than in court clothes, but it was a pity that he had no time to look at it now.
"What do I mean? I also want to ask what Prince Rong means." Lin Zhiyu looked at him with a sneer, "What did Prince Rong do recently? He couldn't have forgotten it so quickly, right?"
Could it be that the old man who asked him to arrange his identity to leave the palace yesterday was found out
Rong Kui glanced at Lin Zhiyu uncertainly, "I just want to go out to the palace for a visit. Although the methods are somewhat disgraceful, Your Majesty doesn't need to go into such a big fight, right?"
"Oh? You think about it more carefully, or maybe I remind you?"
Lin Zhiyu's beautiful eyes were flowing, and her bright red lips looked extremely delicate.
The corners of his lips curved up a little, "Prince Rong really just wants to go to the palace and not annex my capital?"
