Due to the extensive involvement of the case, Supreme Court's Ministry of Criminal Affairs, the Ministry of Justice, and even the Inspectorate, from large to small, were equally in a state of fear. Even Gu Yun, who rarely had the opportunity to return to the capital to rest, could not have a moment of peace, constantly being summoned into the court for questioning.

The Southwest admiral, Fu Zhi Cheng, colluded with the mountain bandits, killed court officials, smuggled Ziliujin, and attempted to rebel against the case. The bandit leaders and the head of the rebel party were sentenced to death, involving their families along with it.

But the iron blooded Long An Emperor still refused to give up, and the situation quickly became impossible to turn back from, resembling a radish that was pulled up from the ground, bringing with it dirt and soil. This matter had implicated the six central powers. Those who had a personal relationship with Fu Zhi Cheng, those who had received bribes and opened the back door for him, even the old minister who had recommended Fu Zhi Cheng in the past, none were able to run, all were involved in it.

Some were imprisoned, some were dismissed from positions, and for a moment, those in the imperial court were in a state of anxiety, the entire capital was engulfed in silent suspicion.

At this point, Emperor Long An had gathered military power to the extreme; even Emperor Wu during his time could not compare.

Throughout the year, the only thing that could make Li Feng feel at ease was perhaps Gu Yun's understanding of the situation.

As Chang Geng had predicted, the Emperor's wish was respected; as a matter of course, he in turn honored Gu Yun, raised Shen Yi's status by two ranks, appointed him as the Southwest Commander, and at the same time, bestowed upon the Fourth Prince Li Min the title of Yan Bei Wang.
