After a while, Zhou Yao came, and Li Sheng, who came back after the imperial edict was announced.

Li Sheng had just passed the imperial edict to Zhou Yao to arrest Yuan Yan, and Xiao Ruxun sent an eunuch to call Zhou Yao over there.

When Zhou Yao and Li Sheng arrived together, they saw the broken wood taken out by several eunuchs. Li Sheng's eyes were sharp and he recognized it at first glance that it was the small case that Xiao Ruxun had been using. He was shocked and didn't know what happened inside when he left.

Zhou Yao also watched. Although he didn't know what it was, he knew that there was no one else except the emperor who dared to break things in the palace.

"My minister Zhou Yao pays homage to Your Majesty."

Zhou Yao quickly entered the study room of Ganqing Palace to pay homage to Xiao Ruxun.

Li Sheng also returned to his position immediately.

"Yeah, get up."

Xiao Ruxun waved his hand: "About Yuan Yan's matters should be handled as soon as possible, and don't delay. The case should be handled more fiercely. If anyone dares to intervene, they will be handled together."

Zhou Yao nodded.

"I understand! I will definitely do what Your Majesty asks!"

"Also, in recent times, in addition to what I specifically ordered, who else have been closer to Yuan Huang?"

Zhou Yao thought about it.

"Apart from the official transactions ordered by His Majesty, no one had any private interactions with Yuan Huang. They also knew about Yuan Huang's affairs and did not dare to violate the taboos. This is something that the minister can guarantee."

Xiao Ruxun nodded.

"The Great Purge has been quiet for a while. Some people have a bad memory. Zhou Yao, if necessary, they should give them a long memory. On the one hand, Yuan Yan also needs to find a few small fish and shrimp to deal with it well. Killing the chicken to warn the monkey is still very useful."

Zhou Yao expressed his understanding.

"I'll do it now!"

"Well, okay! By the way, where are the people from the Duke of Qian's Mansion?"

"Your Majesty, you have arrived in Shandong. You come from the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and you will probably arrive in the capital in another five or six days."

Xiao Ruxun calculated the day.

"How are you preparing for their mansion and all the living supplies? You can't neglect them."

"Don't worry, your Majesty, everything is ready. The slightest change in the Duke of Qian's Mansion will not be hidden from the eyes of the ministers and Your Majesty."

It seems that Zhou Yao is very confident about this.

However, he should also have confidence in this. After all, this matter was done under his leadership. It was not a simple matter to force the people of the Duke of Qian from Yunnan to the capital, abandoning their lairs that had been entrenched for more than 200 years and coming to the capital.

This matter is also thanks to the joint cooperation between Deng Zilong and Zhang Wu's Heishui. Since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, the Mu family has continuously compressed the living space and voice in Yunnan, and has been constantly oppressing them with powerful oppressive forces, forcing them to make concessions and have to accept the conditions for the relocation of their clans to Beijing.

They dared not rebel and resist, and the Ming Dynasty was gone, who could help them?

After seeing the miserable consequences of the other three families and the peace of the Wei Dukes as usual, the people of the Mu family realized that His Majesty is definitely an existence that "those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish". If it cannot be in line with his wishes, he will be able to make you live a strong personality that is not in good life.

When dealing with such an emperor, he had such power, and could only admit defeat, and no one dared to resist. The Mu family was in power, and the contemporary Duke of Qian, Mu Changzuo, was forced to agree to Zhou Yao's conditions and moved his family to Beijing, suppressing all opposition voices in the clan.

If anyone doesn't listen, he will be expelled from the Mu Mansion and die on his own.

In this way, no one in Prince Mu's mansion continued to resist.

In fact, the situation was very urgent at that time. Kunming had been taken over by Deng Zilong's command of the Qin army, and the city was in a state of martial law. All the people around the Mu family were moved away, replaced with elite soldiers, and even many artillery mobilized. Mu Changzuo was frightened overnight and had to admit defeat.

The Mu family also shed tears by giving up their 200-year family business in Yunnan, but the situation is better than that of others, so they have to accept this condition.

Otherwise, can't I really go against Xiao Ruxun?

At that time, the top dukes of the five Ming families, three of them had disappeared into the long river of history, leaving the Xu family and Mu family of Wei.

Xu Hongji's life with caution is also a reference for Mu Changzuo. Learning from Xu Hongji's way of survival and spending the rest of his life in Beijing is Mu Changzuo's best idea.

He didn't think that they could still control the army when they arrived in Beijing. Although Xiao Ruxun allowed them to keep a 200-strong personal guard, could these 200 people support a stick of incense when they met the powerful Qin army? Obviously not.

For Xiao Ruxun, moving the Mu family from Yunnan, sending a large number of central officials and central troops to prepare for a large number of Han people to go south, that is victory.

Yunnan still has a lot of living space not yet opened up. After eradicating the rich people here, it will be a new world.

That is the real South of Colorful Clouds.

The land reform movement has progressed to Yunnan, and the forces left by the Mu family have basically been captured in one go. Xiao Ruxun has no mercy on these local snakes and ordered them to be killed. There is only one central government, one core, and no second in the Qin Dynasty.

Those who do not obey the central government will be killed. Just like the canals around the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, if they do not obey orders, they will face encirclement and suppression by the army.

Do you think I, Xiao Ruxun, are the same as the Emperor of the Zhu family?

Sorry, you were wrong.

As for those who honestly admit defeat, Xiao Ruxun will not treat them unfairly. He will give them the conditions and standards of living, and can even accept the Mu family as an official, but he cannot violate the law or discipline, otherwise he will challenge the emperor's authority.

Just like in November of the first year of Longwu, a relative of the Duke of Wei broke the law in the capital. The Central Investigation Department immediately dispatched and captured the person from the Duke of Wei's Mansion.

Xu Hongji personally came forward to see Xiao Ruxun, but was scolded by Xiao Ruxun and finally sentenced the young master to six years in prison. Even a stick of incense could not be reduced. In order to avoid the Xu family from interfering, they were directly thrown into the Investigation Department prison.

The Mu family's admission of defeat was an important step for Xiao Ruxun to eradicate the last separatist forces in the south. Eliminating the Mu family, most of the Jiangnan area would be as stable as Mount Tai.

After that, the army and the land reform team were able to operate in the three southwestern provinces with confidence, and to capture all the local chieftain forces in one go.

Xiao Ruxun wants to change all this on a land that has never been truly fully mastered by the central government.

After discussing some things, Xiao Ruxun asked Zhou Yao to leave and go to do business immediately. After Zhou Yao returned to the Investigation Department, he immediately sent someone to form an arrest team and went south to the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal overnight, preparing to take a sea boat to Luzon after arriving in Nanjing.

Their mission is to bring Yuan Yan back according to Xiao Ruxun's order and join the investigation of the Ministry of Justice.
