Chapter 812
The second day.
Jin Ling Imperial Palace.
During the morning court, everyone was anxious.
The things that happened last night were too shocking.
Many ministers who were unaware heard others talking about it when they came to court this morning.
Now, they are still terrified in their hearts.
The Cui family, the number one noble family of the current age, was suddenly attacked last night.
Not to mention the house being burned to a white land, many women in the backyard died.
This time the noble families lost.
Many Cui family members became widowers overnight.
No one knows who did this?
But there are not many people who can possess such power within Jin Ling City.
Many people thought that this was the Emperor Li Er's stern warning to the noble families!
Therefore, facing Li Er today, everyone was very panicked.
Especially the people of the four major noble families.
Although they control most of the resources of the Great Tang, they are also afraid that the Emperor really wants to perish together with them.
In the current situation, everyone knows that the Great Tang Empire is in imminent danger.
It is hard to say what extreme things the Emperor will do?
As the representative of the Cui family, Cui Gan cannot just be silent like this.
Regardless of whether it was done by the Emperor, he always needs to ask for a reason to give an explanation to all the Cui clan members.
"Your Majesty, last night the Cui family suffered the greatest tragedy in a thousand years!"
"I implore Your Majesty to immediately issue an edict to search for the criminals, to cut them into a thousand pieces, and to avenge my Cui family!"
Among the four major noble families, the Cui family is the leader.
Cui Gan spoke, and the others also pricked up their ears.
They wanted to hear what the Emperor had to say about this matter?
Li Er knew early on that there would be such a question.
But if he personally came forward to explain, it would inevitably appear weak in momentum.
On this matter, he has a clear conscience!
So he gave Cheng Yaojin a wink.
Cheng Yaojin came out of the ranks and said.
"Lord Cui, don't be anxious yet. At the same time that the Cui family was attacked last night, the Ministry of Justice prison was also robbed."
"A prisoner intending to rebel, Yin Hongzhi, was robbed out."
"Last night, the Emperor summoned us late at night to urgently discuss this matter and believed that it was done by the Great Qin side."
This deduction is not very convincing.
It is just a guess, and it lacks the most critical evidence.
Cui Gan was not particularly convinced.
"Great Qin? Why would Great Qin sneak into Jin Ling City to take action?"
Cheng Yaojin told Cui Gan according to the reasons discussed last night.
"First, to rescue the rebel Yin Hongzhi. Second, Great Qin has a deep hatred for your Cui family. Third, this is a demonstration to the imperial court!"
Cheng Yaojin's explanation is also plausible.
But Cui Gan did not agree very much. Demonstrating to the imperial court, why use his Cui family to open the knife?
"Your Majesty, do you also believe that it was done by Great Qin?"
Cui Gan bypassed Cheng Yaojin and directly pressured Li Er.
Although Li Er was angry in his heart, he still temporarily suppressed his anger and answered Cui Gan.
"It can only be Great Qin! In Jin Ling City, no family has such strength!"
"If you don't believe it's Great Qin, could it be that you think it's me?"
"Your subject does not dare!"
Li Er asked so clearly, who would dare to question to his face that he did it?
At this time, Cui Gan also had no idea.
So many people died at home, and the whole family was busy holding funerals.
