Just when Zhang Mao and others were at a loss, a noise came from outside. Soon, Chen Xi's not tall figure appeared in front of everyone and immediately calmed down the scene.

Liu Jin was woken up from his sleep. He had never thought of escaping at this moment because he didn't believe that Zhu Houzhao would attack him, his confidant, and felt that with his control over the court, all crises involving the emperor's trust could be resolved.

"Who dares to go to our house to be presumptuous!"

Liu Jin didn't even wear his clothes neatly. He casually put the imperial python cloak on his body and came out of the main hall. He happened to meet Chenxi who arrived with the imperial edict.

When Liu Jin saw that there were many soldiers in the yard and the servants in the mansion were squeezed into the front of the hall, Zhang Mao, Zhang Heling, Xie Qian, Chen Xi and others had serious expressions, his heart couldn't help but sink. However, he had long been used to strong winds and waves, and did not lose his temperament. Instead, his voice increased eighth: "Our family is the chief supervisor of the seal, and he will use the power of the emperor on behalf of the emperor... Those who dare to come to our mansion to make mistakes will be killed without mercy!"

Zhang Mao and Zhang Heling did not speak. Although they had a good position in the court, they were not able to interfere in court affairs as nobles. At this moment, both of them turned their heads to look at Xie Qian, but Xie Qian turned his hopeful eyes on Chen Xi.

Chen Xi shook his head and sneered: "The traitor Liu Yi, what a great official power! Who gave you the courage to speak out in front of important officials of the court with this attitude?"

Since he became powerful in the court and the country, Liu Jin could not bear to say that others called him "eunuch". When he heard this, he was furious and shouted angrily: "Good you Shen Zhihou, you dare to slander our family... and take him down!"

The Liu family members were used to being arrogant and domineering, and were not afraid of heaven or earth. Even if the official army in front of them, which was several times more than themselves, rushed towards Chen Xi after Liu Jin shouted, but before they could take two steps, they had to retreat, because the personal soldiers brought behind Chen Xi were not only at the sight of swords and guns, but also a team of archers appeared beside Shen Xi, with the crossbows on hand being pulled and could be shot out at any time.

By this time, Liu Jin finally realized that he was in trouble... He saw countless people and naturally knew that Chen Xi could not do anything at will. The situation today was too big. If only Chen Xi came, it might be Chen Xi who was struggling to death. But now the guards and the Jing camp were both dispatched, and they also alarmed Xie Qian and Zhang Mao, the two civil and military ministers. The risks behind it were too great.

Chen Xi shouted: "The traitor Liu Yi was corrupt and abused the law, deceiving the holy hearing, and even intended to usurp the throne, which was a very evil thing. Your Majesty ordered the traitor to be taken down. Those who were abducted by the rebels were killed without any hesitation!"

Chen Xi's words were much more effective than Liu Jin. As he finished speaking, a large number of officers and soldiers rushed towards Liu Jin. Because they involved the emperor's order, the minions of the Liu family looked at each other and didn't know what to do.

Liu Jin was furious and shouted loudly, but the soldiers had Chen Xi as the decision. No matter what the person in front of him was, they would cut Liu Jin's hands behind his back when they went up. The man was pressed to the ground and his face was on the ground, unable to move.

"Shen Zhihou, dare you be rude to our family? Our family wants you to die a bad death... Oh, let go of our family! Our family is the person you trust most and you must destroy the nine clans..."

Liu Jin obviously lost his room, and even roared like thunder, it was useless. His minions were captured by the officers and soldiers. He originally expected Xie Qian and Zhang Mao to help him talk, but he struggled to look over and found that the two turned a blind eye, and Zhang Heling, who was like a fence-bearing, sneered repeatedly.

"...Shen Zhihou, our family wants to see Your Majesty and reason with the emperor..."

In the end, the only person Liu Jin could think of saving himself was Zhu Houzhao.

Chen Xi ignored his words at all and ordered: "Get a rag to block his mouth and send it to the Ministry of Justice to be detained. In addition, people were sent to capture the leaders of the rebel party, including the Minister of Personnel Zhang Cai and the former Minister of War Cao Yuan..."

At this time, Chen Xi was acting regardless of the consequences, and was completely killing everything. He only had time to take a breath after Liu Jin was tied up and even his mouth was blocked.

"College Chen..."

Zhang Mao greeted him, but didn't know how to talk to Chen Xi, because Chen Xi in front of him was too strange and completely different from his humble and gentle attitude. Of course, he also understood that only by being so strong could he calm the scene down. Otherwise, things would definitely change due to Liu Jin's tyranny, so he could not talk to Chen Xi in the manner of an elder.

Xie Qian stopped Zhang Mao and gave an eye to his old friend, as if he was advising him... What do you say to him? Let him do things with peace of mind.

Zhang Heling didn't have so much scruples. He walked to Chenxi and bowed, "The next step for Secretary Chen is to arrest all the people in the rebellious party? I wonder who other people need to be imprisoned and questioned, and this marquis can help."

A while ago, Zhang Heling and Liu Jin were very close, but the two sides had fundamental conflicts of interest after all. The foreign relatives retreated step by step in the fight with Liu Jin and were forced to compromise with the eunuch party. Now that Shen Xi is in trouble, he naturally changes his course and stands on the side of victory to pick the fruits.

Chen Xi smiled and said, "The Marquis of Shouning is determined. If the Marquis is willing to help, it is best to strictly control the major camps in the capital. If someone takes advantage of the chaos to steal military power and leads troops to cause chaos, even if Liu Jin is captured, the impact will be very bad... At this time, the Marquis of Shouning should not focus on capturing the eunuch party, but rather stabilize the morale of the army."

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Heling believed that this was a great opportunity to make contributions and steal the fruits of victory.

Now the capital is in chaos inside and outside, controlling military power is equivalent to controlling everything. The foreign relatives are more afraid of the treacherous party usurping the throne, because all their interests come from the emperor, and the change of the emperor's throne has the greatest impact on them.

"Then the Hou will say goodbye first!"

After Zhang Heling bowed, he left with his men. His departure relieved the biggest unstable factor in Liu Jin's mansion.

Because the military power that Liu Jin owns is only superficial and requires the cooperation of the generals, and Zhang Heling is the one who leads the troops directly. If he becomes tough, even if Chen Xi has the imperial edict at hand, it will not be easy to use.

Chen Xi ordered again: "Except for the thief leader Liu Jin, the rest of the people in the Liu Mansion will be arrested and imprisoned. Your Majesty will personally interrogate the case!"

Chen Xi seemed to say this to everyone, telling them what the case will be like and what the process and result will be, but in fact, it is to calm people's hearts, especially Liu Jin.

As expected, Liu Jin was still struggling hard, but after hearing that the case would be tried by Zhu Houzhao, he obviously saw the hope of living or even taking revenge, so he gave up doing useless work.

"Go in and catch people..."

After obtaining Chen Xi's authorization, the officers and soldiers no longer need to be scruples and began to rush into the various yards and rooms of the Liu Mansion to arrest people and search their homes.

At this moment, Wang Lingzhi, Zhu Qi and others heard the news and led Chen Xi’s personal guards to help. With these people, Chen Xi finally had a force that was completely loyal to him and became more and more adept at doing things.

Chen Xi ordered: "Let Liu Jin be escorted to the Ministry of Justice's prison first. No items seized by Liu's mansion shall be transported out of the mansion... Notify Your Majesty, ask Your Majesty to come and examine the case in person!"

Although Liu Jin was escorted out of the mansion, he felt that he still had hope of turning the tables. Especially after hearing Chen Xi's few words, he thought to himself with confidence:

"You Shen Zhihou wants to frame our family for treason and think your Majesty will be deceived? Humph, as long as you see Your Majesty, with the good relationship between our family and Your Majesty, you will definitely be acquitted in the end, and you may even be restored to your post... You are too naive, and our family will definitely avenge today!"

...

...

There was a chaos in the capital.

The news of Liu Jin's arrest quickly spread in the city, and the civil and military officials and noble families in the capital were both informed.

Everyone was frightened.

Not only are everyone in the eunuch party in danger, but even the upright civil officials were worried. They were afraid that Chen Xi's campaign to kill Liu Jin this time would end in failure. The result would inevitably be Liu Jin's counterattack, which led to the death of many innocent people.

This is basically a decisive battle between the eunuch party and the civil servant group. Most people lost their voice because they did not participate in this major political incident and could only wait for news at home in a panic.

As the person involved in the incident, Chen Xi did not immediately lead troops to capture other important eunuchs, but stayed in Liu's house, waiting for the arrival of a key figure, that is Zhu Houzhao.

Unlike in history, Zhu Houzhao led the team to investigate the Liu Mansion the next day, Chen Xi used blood letters to make the emperor leave the palace, which made it impossible for Zhu Houzhao, who was experiencing "danger" and full of doubts about Liu Jin's rebellion, before finding out the truth, Chen Xi also took the opportunity to let Zhu Houzhao be a "witness".

"Zhihou, why don't you bring people to investigate the houses of those criminals who are affiliated with the rebel eunuchs? Are you afraid that these people will join hands to rebel?" Xie Qian asked worriedly.

As a participant in the incident, Xie Qian did not know much about many situations.

He was not completely kept in the dark like Zhang Mao and others, and knew some inside information, so he had a certain skepticism about Liu Jin's rebellion.

Chen Xidao: "What we need to do now is to wait for His Majesty to come in person, and other things can be temporarily put aside or left to others to do... If Mr. Xie believes that the eunuch party does not clear the overall situation, he can lead troops to investigate with the Duke of England, or protect the safety of the palace. As for this, let me leave it to me!"

Xie Qian took a deep breath and said, "I hope this matter can end smoothly. Alas, I still feel... like a dream!"

Xie Qian guessed many ways to bring Liu Jin down, but he never expected that it would end in this way.

Although Chen Xi's thunderous attack was supported by Zhu Houzhao, it was not fully recognized by Xie Qian, an ally. Xie Qian was worried that Chen Xi would "do things wrongly". In his mind, Chen Xi ended Liu Jin's political career in an abnormal way.

Xie Qian did not choose to stay, mainly because he did not want to meet Zhu Houzhao on this occasion.

He used to hope to meet the saint, but now he would rather avoid it because he was afraid that he would bring a glimmer of life to Liu Jin because of his suspicion and hesitation. Instead, it would be better to help Chen Xi and let Chen Xi stay here and wait for Zhu Houzhao to come, while he himself took people to stabilize the overall situation.

"Yu Qiao, you..."

Zhang Mao and Xie Qian left the Liu Mansion together. At this time, the house of Liu Jin Mansion was in chaos, and the city was in chaos. The torches everywhere made Zhang Mao, who was very cunning, feel nervous.

"Let's go! Go back to their respective posts and take charge. Mr. Zhang returns to the Governor's Office of the Five Army, and I go to the cabinet..."

Xie Qian's words were quite domineering. Zhang Mao couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly when he heard this.

In terms of status in the court, Xie Qian, as the chief minister, was above Zhang Mao, but as the leader of the military general, Zhang Mao was always unable to stand up to his face when he was assigned in this way.

"Come on...?"

Zhang Mao asked.

Xie Qian nodded, and the two returned to their respective yamen. Xie Qian could only go to the small gate of the Daming Gate. It happened that the Governor's Office of the Five Army was also there. The two happened to go with each other and discussed today's affairs.
