Chapter 37: Lord Qiansui is Unhappy

Not long after, the imperial capital was in chaos. Following the decree of emperor Jinghui, the whole imperial capital was surrounded by the people of the Department of Supervision, the Prefecture of Arrest and the five military armies. For a moment, everyone was in danger. Those who were officials were even afraid to go out in case they got caught with the shackles. After all, those crazy dogs of the Department of Supervision and the Prefecture of Arrest were all vicious and ruthless.

Soon a lot of new faces were added inside the prison of the Ministry of Justice. There were about twenty big and small officials arrested. No need to mention the prisons of the Department of Justice and the Prefecture of Arrest. Although, no news leaked because of the tight guarding, it was said that the floor tiles at the door were red every day, making people shudder.

"Lin Qing truly turned crazy!" Inside second prince's residence, Situ Jinkang smashed a white jade teacup. His face was full of anger. He was so angry that his eyes became bloodshot, scaring the people under him that they didn't even dare to make a sound.

The assassination attempt on Lin Qing was ordered by Situ Jinkang. That Lin Qing helped Situ Wenrui made Situ Jinkang feel a great threat and made him who always remained calm and collected unable to sit still anymore.

If not counting Situ Yuanxiao, then Situ Jinkang's power would have been the weakest at court. If Lin Qing remained neutral, then the power of the three princes could still balance out each other.

Although, there were big and small power among the princes, but because the existence of the Lin Qing, the unstable factor, the three of them didn't dare to have a free hand and fight to death with each other. However, Lin Qing stood at Situ Wenrui's side now, making a great disadvantage for him.

After receiving Lin Qing's help, would Situ Wenrui be obedient and happy with the status quo? If he did nothing, then Situ Wenrui was very stupid. Naturally, Situ Wenrui wouldn't be so stupid to take action against Situ Yaohua first. Then, the person who he would deal with could only be Situ Jinkang.

Even dogs would bite if they were forced to the extreme. When princes were forced, they would kill people. Situ Jinkang had no other choice but to act first and the best target was not Situ Wenrui but Lin Qing.

Lin Qing is a treacherous official and wicked beyond redemption. Many people at the court wanted to kill him. The moment Lin Qing dies, Situ Wenrui would lose a right arm. No, perhaps, he would lose more than that! That was beneficial to him and no wind and waves would be turned with the oppression from the crown prince. Moreover, with the infamy of Lin Qing, except for Lin Qing everyone else would be delighted. No one would go investigate at all. Even if they investigated and found out that it was him, who would be so bold to dare to hold him accountable? And he wasn't afraid that those people who wanted to eat Lin Qing's flesh and feed on Lin Qing's bones would eat him (SJK) alive. Also, even if the crown prince wanted to use this matter to strike at him, he had to consider whether he would lose people's hearts.

So, as long as Lin Qing had died, it would be three wins hit by one stone. Unfortunately, since Lin Qing didn't die now, the matters became troublesome.

An official of the Ministry of Rites cautiously said to the gloomy Situ Jinkang, "Your Highness the second prince, many of our people from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue had been arrested now. It can't go on like this!"

The other people also looked at Situ Jinkang with the same eyes. Situ Jinkang couldn't not safe those people who had been arrested, otherwise, it would let the hearts of the people who followed him get cold. However, those people where in the hands of the Department of Supervision and the Prefecture of Arrest. How could he save them? Ask Lin Qing directly for them? Don't joke. Would Lin Qing let him off now that he knows it was done by him?
