The matter of Kong Taichang's youngest daughter's suicide caused quite a stir in the capital, but soon it was forgotten by everyone. Because everyone's attention shifted to the events happening in Yangzhou.
During this period, the situation in Yangzhou can be described as "wind and crane cry."
The common people were frightened and uneasy by the situation. Fortunately, the court dispatched troops in time to calm them down.
Grandmaster Liu secretly went to Yangzhou and joined forces with Song Dekang to swiftly clean out Yangzhou's officialdom.
The two coordinated extremely well and caught the Yangzhou noble families off guard, capturing them all at once.
All of Yangzhou's noble families and wealthy merchants were caught, not leaving a single one.
In recent days, Song Dekang has been leading people to raid the homes of these noble families.
