"Zu Dashou and the others are better than those who died. Why do they still have to survive and implicate us?" Someone cursed. If Zu Dashou and his group died, then fewer people would know their guilt, and most of the rest could be concealed. If they are lucky, they would be able to escape this disaster. But now these people are still alive and they will have no way to survive.

"It's better to take advantage of the fact that they have not returned to Beijing yet, and we will silence them." Someone made a gesture of killing people and silence them immediately. They immediately took action, so waves of people left the city from all gates in the capital and headed towards Shanhaiguan, hoping to find an opportunity to silence Zu Dashou and others.

It’s a pity that Li You was prepared for this. Those who guarded Zu Dashou and others and had relevant evidence were replaced by Song Jun, who had no connection with the world. Whether these people used bribes, deception, or infiltration, they failed to break through their defense line and contacted Zu Dashou and others and those evidences.

On the contrary, many people were taken down on the spot. They confessed the envoy behind them from the Jinyiwei and the torture master of the East Factory, and nailed the coffin of these people.

"At this point, there are still people who don't give up." If it were an ordinary emperor, seeing so many oppositions from important officials of the court, he might have to shrink temporarily to wait for the future. But Li You was different. He had long realized that the main problem of the Ming Dynasty was neither Jiannu nor refugee, but the nobles who entered and left the Qianqing Palace and the gentry all over the country, if this problem was not solved, the demise of the Ming Dynasty was still only a matter of time.

So he would never retreat because of this. Instead, he hoped to take this opportunity to completely adjust the layout of the Ming Dynasty. Although he left most of the troops brought out by the imperial commander in Ningyuan, Jinzhou and Dongjiang Town, he still had tens of thousands of troops. With the Yue Yun's troops who were left behind in the capital, the newly recruited Jingying, the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei, he was confident that he would completely destroy any possible resistance and would never make even a slight compromise with these Ming officials.

After entering Shanhaiguan, Li You did not rush back to the capital, but slowed down the marching speed. The team who returned to Beijing to transport grain last time was harassed a lot on the way from Beijing to Shanhaiguan. Last time, they had no time to compete with these people because they were in a hurry to transport grain. Now it is time to settle the accounts with them.

Now Zu Dashou and others have colluded with them along the way and tried to delay the transportation of food and grass. Will Li You give them good fruits? Whenever the army arrives, they will immediately send troops to surround the mansions of these people, arrest all the people involved, and then confront them with Zu Dashou and others. Once they are sure that there is any problem, they will immediately send them to the Dongchang and Jinyiwei to torture. Of course, these people cannot resist the professionals of Dongchang and Jinyiwei. They will not survive a few rounds of punishment and then collapse beans, just like they collude with the Guanning Army and the imperial ministers, trying to bring out the crimes that are unfavorable to Li You.

Among them, many officials who did not ask for confessions by Zu Dashou and others were even dug up. It seems that those who are dissatisfied with Li You are not just vested interests of Liao salary. Perhaps they neither accepted bribes from Shanxi merchants nor shared the benefits of Liao salary. However, they have seen from Li You's recent methods that it will be their turn after they have been solved. So instead of waiting for death in the future, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity to completely eliminate the threat. In these matters, these people's eyes are long-term.

It’s a pity that their methods not only did not work, but also exposed their identity. They will bear Li You’s thunderous wrath earlier than expected, which is something they can’t afford.

In the second half of the way, the scared officials and officials fled without doing anything. Soon the wave of the storm spread to the capital. Many officials involved in the case made the same choice. Many of the yamen were still watching the day before, but the next day, someone disappeared.

But such people are a minority, and most of them are small officials at the bottom. Because the higher the position, the more people are concerned about them, how can they leave in a hurry? Moreover, they are not a big family, and there is a big family standing behind them. If they escape, it will be their turn to bear the emperor's anger. This is even more difficult for them to accept than beheading them, let alone if they escape, they can escape there? In the eyes of these people, Daming is undoubtedly the richest country in the world. They would rather die than go to other countries.

If they stay in the territory of the Ming Dynasty and lose this official uniform, they may face endless difficulties from local gentry and officials. Who would be willing to let these people who were far inferior to themselves be tortured by them? As for joining relatives and friends, do these people dare to take them in? I am afraid that the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang would rather want them to do this so that they could drag their relatives and friends into the water.

So even though someone had already escaped, Li You did not rush to speed up, because he knew that the people who escaped now were just small characters, and real big men could not, and they dared not escape. So he still slowly dealt with local criminals along the way and walked slowly towards the direction of the capital.

The calmer he was, the more uneasy the big men in the capital were, because this meant that His Majesty the Emperor had already made plans for them, and this plan was by no means easy to change, and he was not even worried about their counterattack and resistance at all. He was full of absolute confidence in taking them all down, which made them more and more frightened.

But what can they do? Do they fool them like they did in the previous emperors? This person obviously would not be easily perfunctory by them; they were on the brink of danger? Now all the troops in the capital have been controlled by His Majesty, and they can't get in. As for the servants in their house, they are still doing whatever they want to bully the common people. They don't have to think about doing such a life-saving thing; as for the plot, it is even more unreliable. Now that Fu Shan is by His Majesty, his idle means can definitely not be hidden from his eyes.

What they were even more afraid of was that His Majesty the Emperor did not seem to be worried about how to continue to deal with the government affairs after sweeping all the officials of the court, which made them lose their greatest support.
