The morning assembly the next day was just as Huang Feng had expected. It was extremely noisy.    

    

After all, more than half of the people in the spacious hall had been reduced. This was enough to surprise the remaining people. Because Huang Feng had kept last night's incident a secret. Therefore, no one else knew about what had happened last night. Of course. Except for his fellow officials who were under house arrest.    

    

And after the morning assembly began today, many of the remaining officials started to stir up trouble. They asked where the people who had not appeared had gone. Regarding this, Huang Feng didn't hide anything from them. He just told them that those people wanted to rebel. He's under house arrest.    

    

Huang Feng didn't expect that there would be a lot of people who would plead for them under such circumstances. They said that they were confused and bewitched. Those people were all important officials of the Imperial Court. For the Imperial Court and for Huang Feng, they had paid a lot. They shouldn't have acted so rashly without any evidence. Arrest them under house arrest.    

    

Huang Feng didn't say anything to these people who pleaded for mercy. His expression didn't even change. He only remembered the identities of these people. These people should be the accomplices of those people last night. But... Huang Feng wasn't sure yet. The accomplices of those people... Did they already come out?    

    

Because of this, Huang Feng didn't express his stance on the spot. He only said that he would consider it. Huang Feng's reply had given many people hope. Therefore, in the next few days, many people kept asking to see Huang Feng. They pleaded with Huang Feng. These people were also important officials of the Imperial Court. Their status was not low. In their opinion, they had come to plead with him. No matter what, Huang Feng had to give them face. Otherwise... Once they were eliminated, there would be no one left in the morning court.    

    

However, what these people didn't know was that in these few days, Huang Feng was also making full use of his deployment to promote the people he had exchanged for. However, those people were limited after all, and Huang Feng couldn't exchange for them endlessly. Besides, even if he exchanged for them now, he couldn't just raise them too high in a short period of time. Therefore, Huang Feng took the opportunity to promote some capable ones. And there were no people who wanted to express their feelings.    

    

This way, although it was still a little lacking in terms of manpower, however, the situation was already much better. And... At the same time... ... Huang Feng was still investigating the identities of those who had spoken, as well as the relationship between them and those who were under house arrest.    

    

What Huang Feng didn't expect was that among these people who had spoken, there were even generals who had just pledged allegiance to the previous dynasty. As well as the generals of the uprising army, these people were actually with those who were under house arrest. Their relationship was so good that Huang Feng became a little wary. At the same time, he had also secretly strengthened the guards of Grand Preceptor Prefecture. After all... These generals were not like the civil servants. They all had personal guards by their side.    

    

"It seems like it's about time." A few days later, Huang Feng saw that no new people came to plead. These few days, there were only a few people pleading. He felt that it was about time, so he prepared to put away the net.    

    

Once Huang Feng decided to put away the net, his actions were very swift and fierce. Those people had already been captured by Huang Feng before they could even react. This made those people find it hard to accept. After all... They were all important officials of the Imperial Court, and they were all arrested in an instant. Huang Feng did not want anyone to handle the administrative matters anymore? Could it be that he was prepared to handle all the matters personally? Wouldn't he tire himself to death?    

    

However, regardless of whether he thought about it or not, they had already been arrested. These people weren't clean to begin with. It wouldn't take too much time for Huang Feng to find evidence against them. None of them had been wrongly accused.    

    

As for those people's arrest, those officials in Grand Preceptor's mansion still didn't know about it. They were still fantasizing about the people outside helping them plead and save them. One should know that those people pleading together was a huge force. Adding on them, it would be enough to shake the foundations of the entire Imperial Court. Huang Feng did not dare to ignore them.    

    

Hence, they were still very confident.    

    

"What's going on? Why haven't we received any messages from the outside in two days?"    

    

In Grand Preceptor Prefecture, some people began to feel puzzled. They were placed under house arrest in this place, and their contact with the outside world was through those carrier pigeons. Although it wasn't convenient, it was much more concealed. They had always thought that their actions weren't discovered by Huang Feng. They were secretly pleased with themselves.    

    

And those people outside would also tell them the information outside through carrier pigeons. This made them very pleased. They felt that they were the kind of gods who knew the world's affairs without coming out. They were better at strategizing than a thousand miles away.    

    

However, they had not received any news from the outside for two days. This made them feel that something was not right. Some people even thought in their hearts. Was there something wrong with the people outside? After all... Huang Feng's way of doing things was very confusing. He actually dared to take the risk of shaking his foundation. Come! All of a sudden, they were all captured. Such a crazy action... It was something they had never expected.    

    

It was also because of this that these people had doubts.    

    

At this moment, a carrier pigeon suddenly flew in and landed accurately on Grand Preceptor's arm. Grand Preceptor took the letter off the carrier pigeon's leg, but after reading it, his expression became very ugly.    

    

"Grand Preceptor, what happened?"    

    

"Did something happen to the people outside?"    

    

"Grand Preceptor, say something."    

    

When the others saw Grand Preceptor's ugly expression, they guessed that he must have gotten some bad news, which made them even more worried. However, Grand Preceptor had been silent all this time, which worried them even more.    

    

After a long time, Grand Preceptor sighed deeply and said with a complicated expression, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I really underestimated you. I did not expect you to have such courage! I admire you!"    

    

"Grand Preceptor, what happened?" Grand Preceptor's sudden exclamation made everyone even more confused.    

    

"You guys are right. Something has indeed happened to those people outside. All of them have been arrested. No one dares to plead for us anymore." Grand Preceptor said to the crowd.    

    

"How dare he?!"    

    

"How could this be? Why did this happen?"    

    

"It's over, we're all finished, we're dead this time!"    

    

After listening to Grand Preceptor's words, everyone's faces turned ashen. The people who had tried to plead for them outside had been arrested, so no one dared to speak up for them anymore. Besides those people who wanted to die, it was obviously impossible.    

    

If no one spoke up for them, they would be dead for sure. With their abilities, it was impossible for them to break out of the encirclement and escape. Therefore, they could only wait for death.    

    

"What are you panicking for? We haven't even reached the guillotine yet!" Grand Preceptor said angrily, "Those people have been arrested, but that doesn't mean we can't get out. I didn't want to take this step. However... Now, it seems like I can't stay here any longer. "
