The strongest nine thousand years old

Chapter 182 Pulling a List

Partridge came at the right time. Chen Dong held the imperial edict in his hand, which was equivalent to having the imperial sword. Once Partridge found out any information, he could use the sword to chop down the heads of those people.

When Partridge came in, he immediately saluted Yan Yunzheng.

"Greetings to Your Majesty."

Yan Yunzheng's face was cold, like a snow lotus on an iceberg, high above, pure and holy.

She said "hmm" and walked to the side to sit down. "You can say whatever you want, but just pretend I don't exist."

Partridge's heart was shocked, and he had a new understanding of the commander's level of favor in front of His Majesty.

He walked to Chen Dong and reported in a low voice: "I followed Lord Zhang and others all the way back to their mansion, and did not find anything unusual during the trip. However, in their homes, we found varying amounts of fierce fire oil, which added up to no less than a thousand kilograms."

Chen Dong's pupils shrank.

Fire oil is petroleum, which is extremely strong and difficult to extinguish after burning.

Moreover, once thousands of kilograms of kerosene burns, it will create a sea of ​​fire that will be impossible to extinguish.

What are they going to do!?

Are we going to burn down the city of Yanjing?

Yan Yunzheng was the first to become restless, and asked solemnly, "Have you found anything else?"

Partridge shook his head, "No."

Mr. Xie is respected by everyone, so he must be of great importance. The commander followed General Xie and found something in General Xie's house, which was not his business.

In fact, Chen Dong only discovered that the old man was a second-grade warrior, and he didn't discover anything else.

However, since each family had hidden thousands of kilograms of flaming oil, he absolutely did not believe that there was nothing hidden in General Xie's mansion.

"I will immediately search their house and interrogate them to force them to tell me their purpose." Chen Dong said.

Yan Yunzheng was originally somewhat dissatisfied with Chen Dong's borrowing a knife to kill someone, but now that trace of dissatisfaction disappeared instantly. Those people should be arrested!

"Go and do it." Yan Yunzheng said coldly.

Chen Dong held the imperial edict in his hand and not only appointed the Jinyiwei troops, but also asked He Feng to arrange hundreds of city guards.

Such a big scene caused the people of the whole city to exclaim in surprise.

"The Royal Guards are taking action again. Which corrupt official are they trying to catch?"

"Such a big scene doesn't seem like they are arresting corrupt officials. Could it be someone is plotting a rebellion?"

"The prince has been killed, and you still dare to rebel? You are really like an old man eating arsenic, and you think your life is too long!"

"Come on, come on, let's go and take a look."

A crowd of people followed the Jinyiwei. Many people who did not know the truth immediately followed when they saw that there was something exciting to watch.

The dark crowd of people was like an unstoppable black torrent.

The first person Chen Dong approached was Lord Zhang.

Two Jinyiwei stepped forward and kicked open the door of the Lord's mansion. The City Guards rushed in immediately like wolves and tigers. Any servant who dared to resist was directly pinned to the ground by the City Guards.

Lord Zhang hurried out, angrily and anxiously saying, "Chen Dong! What are you crazy about? Didn't we make that clear long ago?"

"I don't know at all. You lied to me." Chen Dong said coldly, "You went to Fengyue Tower with those people."

Lord Chen's pupils shrank and a hint of panic flashed across his eyes. Chen Dong actually knew about this?

Although he was panicking, his tone was neither hurried nor slow, "We are discussing compensation for you. No matter how much, as long as you are satisfied, we will give it."

Lord Zhang turned the tables, and to people who didn't know the truth, it sounded like Chen Dong was asking for a bribe.

"Master Chen is actually this kind of person?"

"I thought he was an upright judge, but you can't judge a person by his appearance!"

"He openly solicits bribes. How can such a person be qualified to lead the Jinyiwei?"

"Shut up, everyone. Listen to what Commander Chen has to say. I don't believe he is that kind of person!"

"Yes! He has killed so many nobles, how could he be in league with them?"

"Commander Chen, please explain!"

The crowd was furious.

Water can carry a boat and it can overturn it.

Chen Dong enjoys a high reputation among the people, but the people's words can also destroy him and leave him without a burial place!

"Jinyiwei handles cases, and there is no need to explain to anyone." Chen Dong suddenly changed the subject and said, "However, this matter involves your majesty and the reputation of the royal family. For your majesty's sake, I will make an exception and tell you."

Royal secrets! ?

Everyone was excited, and they pricked up their ears and stared at Chen Dong.

"These people are in collusion with Prince Jing. They first supported Prince Jing in his attempt to seize the throne and framed Your Majesty as a woman. After Prince Jing was executed, these people planned to support Prince Rui and bring down Your Majesty."

"You were also present on the day of the imperial examination re-examination. Do you believe that Her Majesty is a woman?"

"If you don't believe it, of course you don't!"

"The Queen and the Imperial Concubine have both come forward, how could His Majesty be a woman?"

"These people are really sick in the brain. They actually came up with such a crooked way!"

"Your Majesty has taken in a new concubine, the girl from Li Cheng's family. If Your Majesty were a woman, would this be kept secret?"

"That's right. I really don't know what these people are thinking."

"You're still a lord just like this? You're not even as smart as the second idiot from the Wang family."

Lord Zhang was so angry when he heard the contemptuous and disdainful ridicule that he almost vomited blood.

"Shut up, all of you shut up! I am an earl, and my ancestors fought for the Great Yan and shed blood. What qualifications do you peasants have to mock me?" Lord Zhang roared.

His hair and beard stood up, his eyes were wide open, and his old face was flushed with anger. His ferocious expression showed that he wished he could hack all the people present to death with his knife!

Everyone was startled and fell silent.

The only sound on the field was Lord Zhang's heavy breathing, which was so loud that it sounded like a broken old bellows.

Suddenly, Partridge Boy shouted excitedly: "Commander, all the kerosene has been counted, a total of 200 kilograms!"

The quiet scene was broken in an instant and everyone was in an uproar.

"Two hundred kilograms of fierce kerosene!"

"He really wants to rebel!"

"Are you going to burn down the city of Yanjing?!"

"Commander Chen, quickly catch this old guy!"

Lord Zhang's body shook, and he shouted hoarsely, "I don't know! I don't know what fierce kerosene is!"

"Do you think I'm just talking nonsense to you?" Chen Dong curled his lips, "I'm looking for evidence of your guilt!"

"Let's not talk about the crime of slandering His Majesty and being disrespectful to His Majesty. You secretly stored pyrotechnic oil, which poses a serious threat to the public security of Yanjing City. You must go to the Jinyiwei Prison to explain yourself!"

"You can't arrest me! I am the Earl of Dayan! My ancestors have made great contributions to Dayan!" Lord Zhang roared.

Chen Dong took out the imperial edict from his bosom and said indifferently: "Your Majesty's imperial edict is here. This commander is under the order of the emperor to investigate you lawless criminals! Our ancestors have lost face because of you, an unworthy descendant! Take him away!"

Lord Zhang was limp all over, like a puddle of mud, and was carried out by two Jinyiwei. All the other servants were also taken away by the city guards.

This was just the beginning. Chen Dong also led the Jinyiwei to search the mansions of other people. A total of 1,300 kilograms of flaming oil was found, which was enough to turn the city of Yanjing into purgatory!

"How cruel!" Chen Dong's face was gloomy.

Hearing about it and seeing it with your own eyes do not give the same feeling.

Watching the barrels of kerosene being carried out, Chen Dong felt a chill all over his body.

Beneath that black appearance lies the blazing power to burn a city!

And all this was done by Mr. Xie and his people.

"This time, you can't run away!" A cold light flashed in Chen Dong's eyes.
