Chapter 1224 Cutting out the roots
After Qin Jinzhao left, the kitten brought the panel to its owner.
The black and gold panel outline slowly solidified in front of Minglang, and when she saw the Queen Mother's face, she seemed to faintly hear the sound of a Jiangnan folk song.
"Mother Empress is so content." Minglang truly missed his days in Lin'an. He wondered where his mother and grandmother would be spending the New Year this year.
I guess we won't be able to spend Chinese New Year together this year.
Liang Chongyue just smiled at Minglang's words and didn't reply.
He got straight to the point and stated his purpose for the day.
"The governor and his subordinates in Qiyang will be replaced. You will have to work hard these days to select some suitable candidates and send them to Qiyang. I will stay here for a while longer."
Upon hearing this, Minglang knew that the Empress Dowager had confiscated the Xie family along with all related individuals.
If one member of the Li family gets into trouble, it will affect the entire army.
Minglang could already imagine that the next seven or eight days would not be easy for him to get through.
"Does the Queen Mother have any candidates in mind?"
Knowing that Minglang wanted to take advantage of the situation, Liang Chongyue didn't give him the chance. After conveying the task, she disconnected the connection on the panel.
Minglang watched as the black and gold panel frame appeared and then disappeared before his eyes.
Minglang has gotten used to it all.
She got up from the chaise lounge and lay down on the bed, sleeping soundly.
As for the transfer of officials, we'll discuss that at tomorrow's morning court session.
She really needs to get a good night's sleep first.
The connection on the panel was disconnected, but Liang Chongyue could still see the screen on Minglang's side.
The kitten huddled close to its owner, watching His Majesty sitting silently on the panel.
Liang Chongyue removed that panel and continued looking at the previous one.
The system was also watching, and after watching for a while, it received a message from the kitten.
The kitten said, "Master didn't check the list of officials right away. Is His Majesty unhappy?"
When the system read it for the first time, it still didn't understand what the kitten meant.
It wasn't until I watched it a second time that I realized how much the kitten was thinking.
"What are you thinking? How could the host be so petty?"
The system swiped away from the message page, and in the blink of an eye, the host pulled out the map again and began to pontificate.
"Host, shouldn't we save this for tomorrow?"
Didn't we agree to work on one place a day, until the Li family came?
Liang Chongyue originally thought so, but when she saw the people from the Provincial Administration Commission and the Provincial Surveillance Commission, she changed her mind.
Liang Chongyue lightly traced his finger across the map: "A money shop was searched, and the provincial governor and the provincial judge came. Even in the capital, if the Xiang family's money shop were raided, it wouldn't cause such a commotion. This shows how deeply entrenched the Xie family has been in Qiyang over the years."
She traveled to one place each day, intending only to teach the Xie family a lesson and destroy the family business they had painstakingly built up over the years.
But seeing that only the governor was missing, what couldn't she guess?
"If you don't pull the weeds out by the roots, they'll grow back in the spring breeze."
If the Xie family isn't completely eradicated from Qiyang, they'll probably be at the height of their power in Qiyang again before she even returns from her travels to the capital.
It would be even easier than when she fought for the throne; she could easily continue to be their "vassal king" in Qiyang.
Moreover, if she doesn't eliminate them completely this time, even if Minglang sends dozens of high-ranking officials to Qiyang, it will only be a repeat of what she did today.
As Liang Chongyue raised her hand, a pen appeared in her hand from her backpack.
Liang Chongyue circled and drew on the map, planning out all of the Xie family's properties on the map.
The starting point for the raid has been decided.
Then, Liang Chongyue left a line of words on the back of the drawing: "Kill in this order."
The blueprints were stuffed into the system's dog mouth.
"Go ahead and deliver this blueprint to Fei He. If you're interested, you can also go on a trip with Fei He."
The system's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
Liang Chongyue added another sentence:
"You might even see the Xie family head, who's now searching the streets for you seeking revenge."
Upon hearing this, the system became even more excited.
He grabbed the blueprints and left.
Liang Chongyue sat in the private room, listening to the melodious Jiangnan folk tunes coming from the floor below. The system also took an unconventional approach.
It followed the same path as Fei He.
Unlike Fei He, he didn't jump onto the nearby rooftops.
The instant the system's figure jumped onto the terrace, Liang Chongyue switched to a new screen.
I also turned on screen recording mode, specifically to record the system's actions.
On the control panel, there was a large dog that was taller than a person when it stood up, slowly sliding along the wall.
The private room she chose was in a rather secluded location, and the system slid down the stairs, only startling the guests who were about to enter the restaurant when it was almost time to land.
However, the system was fast; before the guests could react, it had already dashed into the night.
Soon, that fluffy, white, and chubby figure disappeared into the night.
After many twists and turns, before the system could find Fei He's location, it truly proved the host's words.
On the road, it ran into the Xie family patriarch, who had been seeking revenge. The system had barely flashed in front of him when it was spotted.
"Is it that dog?!"
The Xie family patriarch was about to lead his men to give chase when he was stopped by his trusted confidants.
"My lord, calm down. The bank has already been raided, and His Majesty is in Qiyang. The most urgent task is to transfer the assets that have not yet been discovered. That dog is probably His Majesty's old dog that he has raised for decades. We can't chase it now."
The Xie family patriarch, having regained some of his composure, looked at the now empty narrow alley and said resentfully:
"I'll deal with that damned dog after I've sorted out the trouble I have right now. So what if it's His Majesty's dog? Once I catch it, I'll treat His Majesty to dog meat."
The system was in a hurry to deliver something to Fei He and didn't hear what happened next.
Otherwise, I'll definitely come back and teach these people a lesson.
Liang Chongyue kept looking at the panel, taking in the whole scene.
His face was expressionless, but the coldness in his eyes was palpable.
Just as the system appeared outside Xie Family Bank carrying the blueprint, the carriage on the other side had just stopped.
As the system carried something into the money exchange with its mouth full, it didn't forget to look back and see who was up in the middle of the night, arriving in a carriage.
After the people in the carriage got off, the system glanced at them casually, took a picture, and sent it to the machine to analyze their identities.
He plunged into the money exchange, searching for Fei He.
When the system finally spat out the blueprints it had been carrying all the way to Fei He, it saw that the blueprints Fei He had picked up were still stringy and turned its head away in embarrassment.
