The three of them listened, deeply disappointed, "Is it just about confiscating some land?"
Tang He replied irritably, "Without evidence, they only lose a few spies. Even if the land is confiscated, they need another charge. Do you think it's easy?"
He said, "Even if you find a charge, you still have to see if they acknowledge it. If they don't accept it, trying to take land from them is like climbing to heaven. This time, they themselves are at a disadvantage and are feeling guilty inside, so His Majesty can seize the opportunity to confiscate some land with just any excuse. Otherwise, after a bout of fighting, we don't know what will happen to their families, but many officials and commoners caught in the middle could lose their lives."
Tang He pointed to his nose and said, "You see how I'm avoiding things now, cautious in my movements, afraid that one day someone might get killed by my horse as I leave, and then I would only see you in jail."
