Early morning of the second day, Gu Junxiu brought a few people with him to the Lin Family residence. Lin Zian's father, Lin Fan, looked at him in fear and trepidation, his forehead still dripping with cold sweat as he asked, "I didn't know that Your Highness would be visiting, but I didn't welcome you from a distance. I hope you can forgive me. "

Gu Junxiu had on a silver mask, his entire body was releasing a cold Qi, the Lin Family members kneeled on the ground, they did not dare complain, and Lin Dong was extremely respectful and refined, he did not look like a greedy official.

He looked at the group of people, and did not see Lin Zian's figure at all. He then asked the kneeling, "This king wants to look for the Lin Clan's eldest son, Lin Zian, where is he now?"

Without waiting for Lin Fan to reply, Madam Lin said with a hint of schadenfreude, "If Your Highness wants to find the eldest young master, go to the place where people from the martial arts world gather. The number of times he returns to the Lin Clan can be counted on one hand."

Lin Zian was born from an Elemental Match in the Forest, and died from an illness. After that, he married his stepmother, who was currently Madam Lin. Lin Zian and this stepmother who was around the same age as him couldn't tolerate each other. However, because of his cold personality, Madam Lin did not dare to offend him openly. Lin Zian had left the Lin Family during the year of the Weak Crown. If not for Gu Junxiu's suggestion today, Lin Dong would have already forgotten about this son of his.

"Your Highness, this subject has not seen him for a long time. Did this unfilial son commit some crime outside?"

Gu Junxiu could roughly guess Lin Zian's position in the Lin Palace as he looked at Lin Lin Dong with a mocking gaze. He probably never thought that the useless son in his eyes would risk his life to enter the palace to assassinate his son for the sake of the lives of everyone in the Lin Clan. He indifferently cast a glance at everyone on the ground before leading his group out of the Lin Residence.

When Madam Lin saw Gu Junxiu walking further away, he immediately said in a weird tone, "I already said that he would definitely cause trouble outside, but now he actually provoked the Prince Yu. If it involves the entire Lin Clan, what should we do?"

She came back and gave birth to her own son, afraid that he would threaten her position. She even hated him to the bone as she tried to think of ways to kick him out of the Lin Clan. However, right now, it was all because of the calamity that he had brought to the Lin Clan.

However, what she did not know was that the position of her prime minister's wife was about to fall apart. There was already a rumor about this in the imperial court, which was why Lin Fan was so afraid. His eyes were deep, and he looked at her in annoyance. Without a word, he returned to the study room.

Gu Junxiu had never felt this powerless before. Previously, he thought that Lin Zian must have brought her back to the Lin Clan, but what he got in return was this result.

"Your Highness, where are we going next?" Guard Xiao Qi asked.

"Go back to the palace first. Go and check up on Lin Zian, the more details the better." Xiao Qi dodged, and quickly disappeared into the crowd. She had already made chicken soup at home. After hearing Yu Er's report, he gracefully brought the chicken soup over, and said with a gentle voice, "Your Highness, I heard that you were assassinated last night, did you get any injuries?"

Gu Junxiu was currently annoyed, so he did not have time to pay attention to her.

Chu Ying took the chicken soup from Yu Er's hands, and said with a smile on her face, "This is the chicken soup that I made personally, try it, Your Highness." Gu Junxiu placed the bowl of chicken soup on the ground and indicated for her to immediately leave.

Chu Ying now knew his temperament, and obediently withdrew without the slightest complaint. However, before leaving, he reminded them, "Your Highness, you must drink the chicken soup while it's hot."

When he was about to leave, he bumped into Hua Qingse. He seemed to want to say something, but was hesitant to do so. He pushed the door open in frustration and saw a bowl of chicken soup on the paper. He felt a sense of loss. But he did not forget the important matter. "Your Highness, the officials on the list have all been dealt with."

Following the original method, some of them were less corrupt. He only got the guard to give him a warning. However, some of them were afraid and would hand over their resignations paper the next day.

Recently, Gu Qingcheng had not had a good night's rest because of his recent death due to illness or a large number of resignations. A large number of jobs had become vacant, but no one was able to replace them. There were many problems, but fortunately, no major problems had occurred in the Xiyue Kingdom during this period, so no major problems had occurred.

"Your Majesty, Prince Yu requests an audience." When the lights were being lit in the middle of the night, Gu Qingcheng was left with no solution as he took out a pile of resignations. Upon hearing that Gu Junxiu had arrived, he could not wait and said, "Quickly announce it."

"Ah Xiu, you're finally here." Gu Qingcheng told him the situation of his resignation once, but Gu Junxiu was not surprised at all. Because Hua Qingse had already told him everything. He wasn't at home at all as he slowly said, "Royal Brother, have you ever thought about why they chose to resign?"

Gu Qingcheng was relatively lax in handling political affairs, so he did not think of any other reasons, and spoke of a few reasons according to the imperial reports. Gu Junxiu handed over the register to him and said, "Royal Brother, look at this.

He flipped through his doubts, and the more he saw, the angrier he became. He directly brushed the report on the table onto the ground and angrily said, "No wonder they wanted to leave as soon as possible. It seems that they are afraid that I will blame them.

He was a benevolent monarch in the eyes of the commoners, and had never thought that he would be able to give them money from the treasury. In the end, he had actually put it into the pockets of these people, and the commoners were still living in deep suffering.

Eunuch Su quickly helped him sit down and said softly, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. These people dying isn't enough. Don't ruin the dragon's body because of these people."

His reaction was within Gu Junxiu's expectations. He knew that was an enlightened ruler, so he was willing to support him. He knelt on the ground and said, "Royal Brother doesn't need to be angry, Chendi has already sent someone to warn them to take back a portion of the stolen silver."

Gu Qingcheng was slightly relieved, but he still wanted to behead them. Gu Junxiu stopped them and explained, "The amount of corruption these resigning officials have was not enough to behead them, why not let them leave the capital, in order to avoid the unease of the citizens?"

Gu Qingcheng completely agreed with what he said, he knew that he must have thought of this idea a long time ago, and sincerely said: "Ah Xiu, thank you.
