Liu Ruyan handed over this task to Grand Master Ma Changkong and several relatively poor and upright officials.
Liu Ruyan was not afraid that Grand Master Ma Changkong would enrich himself, but she was afraid that Grand Master Ma Changkong would not accept this responsibility.
After all, some of the traitors were relatives of the emperor and first-class officials. Ordinary officials did not dare to seize the properties of those people.
Even if ordinary officials go to seize those people's properties, they will not be able to withstand the revenge of those people when those people come back.
But Grand Master Ma Changkong is different. He is ranked among the three nobles, and he has some relationship with the Soul Refining Sect. Even the royal family is worried about Grand Master Ma Changkong!
Of course, Liu Ruyan asked Grand Master Ma Changkong to handle this matter in order to win over the other party.
Although he has dug a hole for his father Liu Mingsu, he still needs someone to help him if he wants to ascend to the throne of God.
Prime Minister Ideon ran away to avoid the disaster, and now the only person he can use is Grand Master Ma Changkong.
"Old minister, I obey!"
Grand Master Ma Changkong readily accepted the task assigned to him by Liu Ruyan.
He has long wanted to confiscate some people’s homes!
He didn't believe that those people had escaped, so he really moved all the things away.
Even if he digs a hundred feet into the ground, he still has to dig out something.
"Your Highness, the country is in danger now, but Prime Minister Ideon has abandoned the country and fled. I wonder if the Prime Minister's property can be investigated?"
The first target of Grand Master Ma Changkong's attack was his old rival, Prime Minister Ideon.
Ji Chengshi, the general who controlled the country, died, and now his only opponents are Prime Minister Ideon and the royal family!
Now that Prime Minister Ideon has taken refuge with his family, Taishi Ma Changkong naturally digs up his property.
As soon as Grand Master Ma Changkong arrived, he directly attacked Prime Minister Ideon, which made Liu Ruyan frown because the opponent's knife was too harsh.
"Grand Master, maybe the Prime Minister is in seclusion and has not abandoned the country and fled!"
Liu Ruyan naturally knew that Prime Minister Ideon and some important members of the Yi family had run away.
But after all, the Yi family is the home of my good brother Ito Makoto, and I don’t really want to rob the Yi family!
Moreover, Prime Minister Ideon has many people in the court. If the Liuyun Dynasty's disaster is over, he still wants to get Prime Minister Ideon's support.
If the Yi family is captured and Prime Minister Ideon comes back in the future, the other party will definitely be dissatisfied with him, and it will be difficult for him to get support from his faction!
"Your Royal Highness, there is no doubt that Prime Minister Ideon abandoned the country and fled. Now the Prime Minister's Mansion has been emptied of people. All the high-level personnel have fled, leaving only some unimportant personnel!"
Grand Master Ma Changkong saw that Liu Ruyan wanted to protect the Yi family, but he would not give her face.
Liu Ruyan is just a princess, and now she is only ordered to supervise the country. She has not yet ascended the throne and become the emperor of the Liuyun Dynasty!
If the other party becomes the emperor, I might give him some face, but the other party is not yet!
"Grand Master, the Prime Minister is the Third Duke. He will definitely not abandon the country and run away. He must be seeking help for the Liuyun Dynasty!"
Even now, Liu Ruyan still wanted to favor the Yi family and help them make up a story!
After all, if she saves the Yi family this time, she will definitely get help from the Yi family!
As long as he has the support of Prime Minister Ideon's faction and the help of Grand Master Ma Changkong, he will be sure to become the new emperor.
Grand Master Ma Changkong has been in the government and the public for hundreds of years. For these years, he has been fighting against Master Ji Cheng, Prime Minister Ideon, and Emperor Liu Mingsu.
He couldn't tell what Liu Ruyan was thinking.
“Your Highness, you can’t have your cake and eat it too!”
Grand Master Ma Changkong pointed out this matter and reminded the other party politely.
This Liu Ruyan had a good plan. She not only wanted to get her own support, but also wanted to get the support of Prime Minister Ideon. How could such a good thing happen?
You can only choose one thing between fish and bear's paw. Liu Ruyan is so greedy that she wants both. I'm not afraid that both of them will kill you!
"Your Royal Highness, my son Ma Zuuri has contacted the top management of the Soul Refining Sect.
Now the top leaders of the Soul Refining Sect have begun to negotiate with the Hehuan Sect. If successful, the Liuyun Dynasty can easily avert danger! ”
Grand Master Ma Changkong pretended to report. In fact, this was also the reason why he did not run away.
Of course, what he said to Liu Ruyan was half truth and half false. As for the real situation, he would naturally not tell Liu Ruyan!
"In that case, let the grand master handle it as appropriate!"
Liu Ruyan saw that Taishi Ma Changkong's weight had increased again, it was a bear's paw.
Among the fish and the bear's paw, Liu Ruyan chose the bear's paw of the Ma family and temporarily gave up the fish of the Yi family!
Presumably in this situation, brother Ito Makoto will understand him.
Ito Makoto: You bitch, I ransacked my house when I went to seek refuge, I understand you big-headed devil!
"Old minister, according to the order, I will go investigate the Yi family immediately!"
Grand Master Ma Changkong pretended to be Liu Ruyan and bowed before retreating.
……
As soon as Grand Master Ma Changkong left the palace, he met his son Ma Zuuri who came to pick him up.
Ma Changkong looked at his son Ma Zuuri and asked:
"Zongri, are you sure that if the Hehuan Sect calls, our Ma family will be fine?"
Although he had the assurance that Ma Zongri had been given before, Taishi Ma Changkong still felt a little guilty and wanted to confirm again.
"Father, although my status is not high among the direct disciples of the Soul Refining Sect, I am still a direct disciple of the Soul Refining Sect."
Ma Zouri felt that even if the Hehuan Sect was a demonic sect, they still had to worry about the friendship of an alliance, right?
There is no way that he, a direct disciple of the Soul Refining Sect, could also be killed, right?
"Moreover, I contacted Senior Sister Xing Lan. Senior Sister Xing Lan said that she would protect my Ma family from worries, but I would have to pay some price for it!"
In order to save the Ma family, Ma Zongri made two preparations. First, he was a direct disciple of the Soul Refining Sect.
The second is Xing Lan. You must know that Xing Lan is the granddaughter of the leader of the Soul Refining Sect. In a sense, Xing Lan represents the top leadership of the Soul Refining Sect!
"What price?"
Grand Master Ma Changkong frowned when he heard the price was demanded.
He was afraid that the Grand Master's Palace would not be able to pay the price. If he could not afford it, it would be more cost-effective to run away.
"Fifty million souls!"
Ma Zouri paused and told Xing Lan's conditions.
Xing Lan recently refined a vicious soul and needed a large amount of souls to feed it.
It happened that the horse was gone and he took the initiative to deliver it to his door, so he made such a request.
"That's easy to say!"
Grand Master Ma Changkong thought Xing Lan wanted some kind of treasure, but it was just fifty million souls. What a big deal!
Grand Master Ma Changkong patted Ma Zuri on the shoulder and said:
"Zongri, aren't you and Princess Ruyan considered siblings?
Now that Princess Ruyan is supervising the country, as Princess Ruyan’s disciple, why don’t you go and help her out of her worries? ”
Grand Master Ma Changkong's intention was very clear, and he asked Ma Zongri to find Liu Ruyan to ask for it.
Of course, Ethereum Master Ma Changkong's method could naturally capture fifty million souls, but his movements were too big and could easily be discovered by the royal family. Therefore, he planned to use Liu Ruyan and Liu Ruyan's hands to get these 50 million souls.
Of course, if you use Liu Ruyan to get all the 50 million souls, you can also make the other party, and even the royal family, covered in mud.
If the Liuyun Dynasty really survives this disaster, it can use this incident to plan something.
Grand Master Ma Changkong felt that this was not his own evil, but was caused by the Liu family of the royal family.
Ma Zuuri nodded and sneered:
"Father, this is why the child is here!"
Immediately, the Ma family and his son parted ways. Grand Master Ma Changkong went to raid the home of Prime Minister Ideon, while Ma Zuuri went to the palace to meet his silly sister Ruyan Emperor!
……
The imperial city of Liuyun Dynasty was covered with dark clouds, as if it was a warning of bad news, foreshadowing the impending changes.
The Prime Minister's Mansion seemed a little deserted because all the senior officials of the Yi family had fled, leaving only a few servants and guards to guard the mansion.
But today the Prime Minister's Mansion was extremely lively, with soldiers holding swords and swords pouring into this once powerful mansion in an endless stream.
The house was full of people, and the servants were panicking and running to tell each other
When the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion saw the soldiers raiding the house, the expression on his face changed from disbelief at the beginning to deep despair.
In the courtyard, the once rich and beautiful clothes were roughly thrown to the ground, and the silks and satins were trampled into mud.
Under the command of Grand Master Ma Changkong, the soldiers rummaged through the boxes without mercy.
One by one, useless things were smashed by the soldiers, making a crisp smashing sound.
To the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion, this sound sounded like a death knell, heavy and cold.
As time passed, the Prime Minister's Mansion was raided
On the streets outside the mansion, the people were talking a lot. Some of them were gloating about the house confiscation, while others were afraid of speaking out of fear of the power struggle.
But in any case, the collapse of the Prime Minister's Office became another cruel reality for this dynasty, making the people once again feel the ruthlessness and cruelty of the power struggle.
Taishi Ma Changkong looked at the details of the seizure and was very dissatisfied. Why is this!
"I will dig up the ground of Yifu for this grand master. I don't believe that there is nothing good in Yifu!"
Grand Master Ma Changkong is very angry. Even if he can't find anything good today, he will demolish the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Let the old dog Ideon have no place to live when he comes back!
Just when Taishi Ma Changkong was thinking this, an idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought that there might be another place in the Yi family where treasures were hidden and had not been taken away.
When he thought of this, Grand Master Ma Changkong left a group of soldiers to renovate the Prime Minister's Mansion, and hurried towards it with a group of soldiers.
Outside the Imperial City of Liuyun Dynasty, three thousand miles to the north, is where the ancestral tomb of Prime Minister Ideon's family is located!
Just when Taishi Ma Changkong arrived with his soldiers, he was stopped by the tombkeepers of Yishi's ancestral mausoleum before entering the ancestral mausoleum.
"The Yi family's ancestral mausoleum, no one can come inside!"
The leader of the tomb-keepers, the Jindan cultivator, scolded Grand Master Ma Changkong and his party.
"A third-level golden elixir ant also dares to yell in front of this grand master, seeking death!"
Grand Master Ma Changkong was furious when he heard this. He severely wounded him with his backhand and captured him alive.
"Kill without mercy!"
After Grand Master Ma Changkong captured the leader of the tomb guards, he gave an order and the soldiers behind him rushed towards the tomb guards.
Grand Master Ma Changkong looked at the slaughtered tomb guards, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
Since there are guardians of Yishi’s ancestral mausoleum, it seems that the things in it have not been moved away by the old dog Ideonana.
As the tomb guardians were captured and killed, the soldiers wielded tools and mercilessly dug up the peace of Yi's ancestors.
The soil flew up, the stone tablets fell over, and in the flying dust, the thousands of years of glory and dignity of Prime Minister Yi's family were buried bit by bit.
It's not just dust that's blown away in the wind, but also the vicissitudes of family history.
The captured leader of the tomb-keepers looked at all this, his eyes filled with sorrow that could not be greater than the death of his heart.
As the last handful of loess was lifted up, the leader of the tomb-keepers knew that everything he cherished no longer existed.
He closed his eyes and let the tears fall down his cheeks, and secretly swore in his heart that if there was an afterlife, he would make the Ma family pay the price
As the door of the tomb was opened, Taishi Ma Changkong led his soldiers into the tomb and began to search for the Yi clan's ancestral mausoleum!
……
On the deck of the flying boat, Cao Meng was lying on the deck chair and basking in the sun. Hongqi was fuming and reluctantly helped Cao Meng press his shoulders and beat his back.
The more Hongqi thought about it, the more angry she became. She, the majestic princess of the Fox Clan in Mingzhou, Northern Territory, had to serve others like a maid.
If I had known that after transforming, I would suffer so much, it would be better not to transform and just be a fox with peace of mind, without having to do anything every day.
While Cao Meng was basking in the sun and playing the game of Asking Immortals, someone suddenly contacted him with a video call!
Cao Meng connected to the video and saw Xing Lan and Nalan Youruo opposite him, so he asked:
"You two, what are you doing to contact me if you have nothing to do? Do you want to give me spiritual stones?"
Cao Meng added their contact information. He could guarantee that he was not stalking the two girls for their contact information.
But when he was in Yaochi Qiongtai, the two girls pestered him to ask for his contact information to add friends.
"Fellow Taoist Cao Meng, you are already the city lord, why are you still thinking about the spiritual stones in the hands of our two little girls?"
The witch Nalan Youruo looks yin and yang, but she is actually jealous.
Although Cao Meng's strength and cultivation level were high, he was ordered to remain silent by the Hehuan Sect.
However, the matter of Cao Meng becoming the city lord of the Hehuan Sect's protective city was not concealed, but made public.
Although Nalan Youruo was not a disciple of the Hehuan Sect but a disciple of the Blood Demon Sect, he was still very jealous of Cao Meng.
Cao Meng is now the city lord of the Hehuan Sect's protective city, which is equivalent to Cao Meng having entered the high-level ranks of the Hehuan Sect!
Thinking that she, Nalan Youruo, the proud daughter of the Blood Demon Sect, did not squeeze into the top ranks of the Blood Demon Sect, but Cao Thief became a senior member of the Hehuan Sect, how hateful!
"Spiritual stones? No amount is too much!"
Cao Meng was not angry when faced with the tease from the witch Nalan Youruo. After all, the witch had taken care of his own business before.
"City Lord Cao Meng, you take care of thousands of ladies every day, I really bother you to worry about my spiritual stone!"
"City Lord Cao Meng, I didn't want to contact you at first, but there is something that makes me have to contact you!"
Nalan Youruo continued to be arrogant. Although she didn't have much contact with Cao Meng, she probably figured out this bitch's temperament.
"Is it good for me?"
"If there is no benefit, I will just hang up. I am very busy and have no time to chat with you two!"
Cao Meng thinks that as long as there are benefits, everything is easy to discuss. If there are no benefits, forget it. We are not familiar with each other!
“I don’t understand the style!”
"I won't tease you anymore, it's Xing Lan who wants to see you for something!"
Nalan Youruo gave Cao Meng a fierce look of contempt, and cursed this greedy guy to never find a Taoist companion in his life.
After Nalan Youruo shut up, Xing Lan finally spoke:
"Fellow Taoist Cao Meng, I heard that you are attacking the affiliated forces of Xuantian Sect. I have a junior brother whose family is in the Liuyun Dynasty..."
"If the Hehuan Sect attacks the Liuyun Dynasty, we can open up a wide margin and let the Ma family of the Liuyun Dynasty Taishifu go, so as not to damage the harmony between the two sects!"
Yes, Xing Lan wanted to protect Ma's family. She didn't have much friendship with Ma Zouri, but for the sake of fifty million souls, she wanted to protect the other's family. (End of chapter)
