Changancheng.

Ever since the Wang clan was publicly executed last time, it had been a scene of peace and harmony.

Regarding the downfall of the Wang clan, a wave of discussion had arisen among the common people.

Some believed that the performance of most common people reflected a hatred of the rich.

They seemed to think that all rich people were naturally guilty.

Once this argument came out, it immediately triggered a wave of condemnation from all sides.

The discussions among the common people were very intense, which naturally triggered more people's reflection.

From this, some new buds of thought began to appear.

They were actually so good at playing!

The cultural atmosphere of Great Qin had a bit of the meaning of the hundred schools of thought contending and a hundred flowers blooming from the beginning.

Regarding this, Qin Mu was also happy to see it happen.

No need for explanation!

This was not hatred of the rich, but a kind of balance for society as a whole.

The common people naturally wouldn't understand.

People are social, and the essence of social attributes is for the ethnic group, not for harming others to benefit oneself!

Accompanied by the debates of various schools of thought, the movements of the four great aristocratic families were suddenly focused on in Great Qin.

This situation was unprecedented.

This created a situation where whatever the four great aristocratic families did, someone in Changancheng would know about it immediately; gossip was flying all over the streets and alleys, teahouses, and wine shops.

"Have you heard? That evil monk Bianji was actually a running dog of the aristocratic families!"

"I heard that Bianji recently went to Yizhou, wanting to smuggle Great Qin's high-quality ironware."

"How could the imperial court tolerate such an evil monk?"

"I predict that this evil monk will definitely be caught in Yizhou and then beheaded in public!"

"The Wang clan still has one fish that escaped the net, the head of the family, Wang Jing. I heard he also got mixed up with Bianji."

"This old thing, this time he should be caught together and have his head chopped off!"

Wei Zhongxian reported these rumors to Qin Mu one by one.

Qin Mu didn't expect that the common people's sense of smell was already so sensitive now.

In the past, the common people only knew how to farm and basically didn't care about national affairs.

They always felt that those were things for big shots to worry about and not something they should think about.

But now, their thinking had become active, and they had started to pay attention to these things.

It also reflected the degree of awakening of the Great Qin common people's consciousness from the side.

"Wei Zhongxian, Bianji is so restless, insisting on running to Yizhou to make trouble.

What do you think of this person?"

Wei Zhongxian was rarely asked questions by the Emperor.

Being asked this time, he was also very excited.

"In this servant's opinion, the common people all hope to kill Bianji and Wang Jing; why not just catch them back and execute them in public." Qin Mu was still very satisfied with Wei Zhongxian's answer.

Whether it was right or not was not important!

What was important was the position from which he said it.

From Wei Zhongxian's words, one could hear that he was standing on the side of the common people.

Perhaps it was a habit formed from staying by Qin Mu's side for a long time.

At least it proved that this person was still very clever.

"Bianji and Wang Jing don't need to be caught for now.

They are excellent bait and can be made good use of.

But smuggling ironware is absolutely not allowed!"

For Great Qin, letting high-quality ironware flow out of Great Qin was aiding the enemy!

This red line must be guarded!

At this time, Yu Huatian returned.

"Your Majesty, this servant has just returned from India and has important matters to report."

"Speak."

Qin Mu was calm and composed, as if he had long expected what Yu Huatian was going to report.

Yu Huatian was dusty, his lips cracked.

But at this moment, reporting the intelligence he had obtained to the Emperor was the most important thing.

"Your Majesty, last time this servant investigated the case of smuggling high-quality ironware and tracked it all the way to India.

Originally, I had already tracked down that group of smugglers and was preparing to kill them, when I discovered that the person who came to pick up the goods was actually Jin Tian.

This servant let Jin Tian take away that batch of ironware to help him develop his strength.

The mastermind behind this smuggling case is confirmed to be Zhangsun Wuji!"

Thus the truth was revealed!

Actually, it was not unexpected.
