Qian Wanli's death.
It made Zhang Feng think of a lot of things.
At first, Zhang Feng really didn't think so much.
But as soon as he arrived in Chang 'an City, Zhang Feng knew that he was thinking too simply.
Although it seemed that the Emperor ordered the arrest today to protect him, wasn't this what the mastermind wanted to see?
They were waiting to see how Zhang Feng would end up.
Once he flinched, it would only bring him endless trouble in the future. It would be a seed of disappointment for all those who were optimistic about him.
The seed of disappointment was the most terrible.
When you chose to flinch for the first time, if you chose him, then he would imprint this seed in everyone's mind.
No matter what you did in the future.
In the eyes of others, you were choosing to flinch.
This seed was what Zhang Feng didn't want to see the most, but it was what the mastermind wanted to see the most.
Someone was forcing him to make a choice behind his back.
How could Wei Zheng and the other two not think of this?
At this time, when they heard Zhang Feng's question, they didn't know what to say.
After all.
This choice also depended on Zhang Feng's choice.
But they really didn't want to see Zhang Feng kill with their own eyes.
Wei Zheng patted Zhang Feng's shoulder and said with some sincerity, "We'll pretend that we didn't see this. You can handle everything by yourself. Even if you poke a hole in Chang 'an City, Lao Li said that he will help you deal with it."
"Okay!"
Zhang Feng nodded and then hurried to the Gao family.
Wei Zheng and the others hurriedly stopped Li Chengqian and said, "Remember, your father said that no matter what happens, you must protect Zhang Feng and yourself. Now, don't let Fengzi go to the Tang family. Remember!"
"…"
The Gao family.
The Gao family was also a famous family.
But it was not in this era.
At its most glorious time, almost half of the land in the entire Guanzhong region belonged to the Gao family. But that was the past. The current Gao family was just a country gentleman.
However, he was still more well-off than the average large clan. After all, he still had a noble title in the imperial court and some of his clansmen who worked in the imperial court.
This ensured that the Gao Family could continue to survive in Guanzhong.
But that was only enough for them to survive.
Just like the Bai Clan, the Mi Clan, and the Tang Clan, their focus was all on this land.
In Chang 'an, he was considered a local tycoon.
A few days ago, they had learned that there was something on the mountain that could double the amount of food. In addition, they also learned that Zhang Feng was a kind and easy person to talk to. Thus, they had been thinking about this.
After all, the Imperial College and Hongwen Guan had benefited from it first, so they couldn't help but harbor evil intentions. But who would have thought that the means they were originally proud of would be taken advantage of today?
If they had known that Zhang Feng was the master of scheming and manipulating public opinion, they would never have done this. But everything was just an 'if'.
Early this morning, all the clansmen of the Gao Family returned to their clan in high spirits, waiting for their share of the phosphate fertilizer. But what awaited them were the people from the Ministry of Justice and the Imperial Guards!
At this moment.
In the Gao Residence, everyone was kneeling neatly in the courtyard. Around their necks hung a large, ice-cold blade. Their eyes were filled with fear and vexation.
All of the clan's belongings were carefully taken away by the Imperial Guards. Not a single brick or tile was spared. Everything was moved out of the mansion.
In the Gao Family, except for a few high-ranking people, all the servants and their family members were taken away by the Ministry of Justice. No one knew what fate awaited them.
But this was no longer important.
What was important was that as the remaining people watched the last bit of their belongings slowly disappear, their hearts began to tighten.
The Emperor was furious.
Their belongings were confiscated and everyone was sent to the Ministry of Justice's prison. These were all small matters, but why were they not taken away?
Could it be that they wanted to kill them?
They all knew that things were not that simple. Most importantly, they all knew what was going on. After all, they were the ones who personally mobilized and came up with the plan.
But the more it was so, the more terrified they felt.
At this moment, after the last bit of their belongings were confiscated, an official from the Ministry of Justice slowly walked forward and sat in front of the Gao Family Head and the other related personnel. He asked, "Tell me, what happened today. Do you want to talk about it here or in the Ministry of Justice's prison?"
"There's no need!"
At this moment.
Zhang Feng walked in with Li Chengqian and the others. In Li Chengqian's hands, he personally held the imperial edict that Li Xiaogong had just announced in the market.
And when he saw the imperial edict.
The eyes of the Ministry of Justice instantly widened. Those who were about to step forward to stop Zhang Feng and the others also fell to their knees in an instant.
And what shocked the Ministry of Justice even more was that.
Behind this young man, the Crown Prince and the heir to the Duke had all appeared!
This meant that …
The person leading them was Zhang Feng??
Although not many people could recognize Li Chengqian, there were at least three of them. At this moment, Zhang Feng looked at the crowd and said, "The Emperor's imperial edict has already stated that I will handle this matter. You all can leave now!"
The Ministry of Justice's people wanted to say something, but the Ministry of Justice official sitting in front of the Gao Family Head immediately smiled and said, "Then I will leave now!"
