News exposed

The Dong family in Beijing.

Luo Shi had told her husband and son everything about what she saw and heard when she went to meet Lu Yaoyao outside the city.

The two people opposite looked very solemn after hearing this.

Especially the papermaking and printing. Although they had not seen it with their own eyes, Luo Shi's description made them both break into cold sweats.

If it is really that terrible, once it is exposed, the power at hand of the family will be reduced by at least a quarter.

If given five to ten years, most of the family's roots will be dug up.

Once that time comes, the threat of the family to the Dongzhou Royal Family will also decrease sharply. It is almost foreseeable that the butcher's knife will inevitably fall, and the family will be in danger.

"Father, we can't let this thing come out, otherwise"

Before Dong Shuqing could finish his words, he was stared at by Father Dong and could no longer speak.

"As a father, I don't know that this thing can't be released, but it's too late now."

"And didn't you hear the last threats made by Lord Wanfu County?"

Yes, it's a threat, an obvious threat.

At that time, after Luo Shi saw the stock of paper and printing technology, she showed a moment of murderous intent and was eager to leave.

But he was stopped by Lu Yaoyao and asked some questions about the current situation of the family in Dongzhou.

That is not simply analyzing the situation.

There is a strong threat here.

What did Lu Yaoyao say at that time?

First, they asked about the current situation of the family in Dongzhou, which was to tell them in disguise that the family had been targeted by Emperor Hongwen. Even without her papermaking and printing, Emperor Hongwen would deal with them.

It was also a disguised reminder to them that she had donated the papermaking and printing skills. It was completely impossible to simply think that killing her would prevent this thing from being released.

If we deal with her, we will give Emperor Hongwen a way to deal with them.

Dongzhou's great hero, you, the Dong family, will kill him if you ask him to. He is worried that he can't find an opportunity to take action.

Dong Shuqing was just attracted by the printing technology and the paper-making output. He only thought about getting things and not showing up. Now that his father was aware of this, he immediately began to recall what his mother had just said.

A layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on my back.

"Sir, what do you think of her statement that she is not from His Majesty's faction?"

Luo Shi had heard the threat when he was in the village. He was not surprised. Instead, he had been thinking about whether Lu Yaoyao was really not on the same side as His Majesty.

"It doesn't matter whether it is or not. The things have been presented. That's the important thing."

"Your Majesty will not miss this opportunity."

"She said this, and you have to understand it in conjunction with what she said next."

The two people on the side were startled and immediately thought about what Lu Yaoyao said next.

"My son understands."

"She also said later that donating things was just for self-protection, a combination of the two."

"That means she didn't want to get involved in anything. She was just forced to protect herself."

Dong Zixiu cast an appreciative look at his son.

"That's right. If you think carefully about Wanfu County Princess's past, it is not difficult to find that she did not take the initiative to cause trouble. The root cause of everything lies with the Gao family."

"It can be said that the reason why we have reached this point is all the fault of Gao Yanming. If he did not force us, the other party would not fight back."

Having said this, Dong Zixiu sighed.

"Then is this counterattack too harsh?"

Although he understood, Luo Shi still felt that what happened this time was a bit too much.

"Hard?"

"Madam, please don't forget what Gao Yanming was accused of in plotting against the Lu family. It was a serious crime that wanted to destroy the nine clans."

"You want to destroy all nine tribes, why don't you let others dig up your roots?"

Luo Shi was speechless at this.

Just imagine, is this thing really cruel?

In fact, it was not cruel, it was just because Lu Yaoyao's counterattack was not just against the Gao family, but against all the aristocratic families.

"Father, we have to send a letter to the family to explain this matter in detail."

"Especially in the case of Gao Yanming, we must be more decisive."

"My son heard that the Gao family has made some moves again. Judging from the current situation, if the Gao family dares to continue targeting Wanfu County Lord, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble."

"We must seize the time to draw a clear line with Gao Yanming, and it is time to start making arrangements to deal with some major events in the future."

Dong Zixiu nodded repeatedly.

In this situation at this moment, it is no longer realistic to think about killing it. We can only prepare according to the situation.

In Lu Yaoyao's words, whether there was a threat, there was also a warning.

Especially what she said, she didn't think about targeting other people, especially the Dong family, or even wanting to make friends.

In his opinion, this was an opportunity given to them by Lu Yaoyao. Perhaps by seizing this opportunity, the Dong family's losses could be reduced again.

On the same day, Dong Zixiu wrote a thick letter and asked his most trustworthy servant to take it to Jinzhong. He also told him that he must personally teach it to the clan leader.

The next day, in the court hall.

A piece of news exploded in the hearts of Emperor Hongwen and his ministers like a depth bomb.

There was another riot in Jinyang Mansion. Millions of victims attacked the Jinyang Gao family. As a result, no one in the entire Jinyang Gao clan was spared. They were all killed by the angry victims.

As soon as this news came out, Gao Yanming, who was standing at the front, felt his legs go weak. He couldn't stand at all and fell to the ground on the spot.

The Jinyang Gao family was his hometown, and the whole clan had developed very well because of his presence. But now they were wiped out, and no one was spared.

That's tens of thousands of people, all dead.

Genocide, this is a complete genocide.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me."

Gao Yanming wept and howled, forcing himself to kneel and kowtow to Emperor Hongwen.

At this moment, does he still look as high-spirited as before?

Emperor Hongwen, who was above him, felt a little complicated when he saw his current appearance. He felt happy, but he still felt a little bit of pity.

"Tell me in detail what happened?"

"Didn't you say that they have been pacified? Why did they suddenly riot again, and so many people were involved?"

Making the decision? Emperor Hongwen did not agree foolishly.

The minister who just gave the news made it very clear.

The victims of the disaster rioted and attacked the Gao family, with millions of victims involved. How did you make the decision?

Should all those victims be arrested and killed?

It's obviously unrealistic. There are millions of victims. Let alone Gao Yanming, even if it's for an important person in his royal family, he would never do such a thing.

Because once he does this, the matter will be serious. Not only will the people of the world rise up, but future generations will also condemn him as the emperor on the pillar of a tyrant and a coward.

"Back to Your Majesty, the specific situation is as follows"

The minister explained in detail what happened in Jinyang Mansion. The key point was that the Gao family was determined to make a comeback, and even bribed the soldiers guarding the officials in order to send away all the younger generations.

Moreover, they were even more audacious and wanted to transfer all the money and food, leaving an empty shell for the pacification officials who came behind.
