When he heard Mo Zizai say this, sixteen people, including Chen Qisheng, stood up with a "swish".

But they hadn't stood up straight yet. In order to prevent Chang Wei from happening again, the Dongchang Guard, who was standing behind them, suddenly reached out and pressed them on their shoulders, as if planting radishes into the soil, and directly pressed everyone back.

Mo Zizai glanced at Chen Qisheng, who was also extremely nervous, and comforted him: "Don't worry, you are not included."

Hearing Mo Zizai say this, Chen Qisheng and the other two sitting on Mo Zizai's left hand couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then instantly remembered the fundraising incident yesterday.

Chen Qisheng glanced at the four people sitting next to him, and then nodded silently in his heart. He knew all four people. If they were found by yesterday's fundraising, they would be very likely to pay.

After roughly understanding the reason, Chen Qisheng's tense heart couldn't help but relax a little.

In his opinion, Mo Zizai was too cruel. He didn't even want to kill three of them first, but he didn't plan to let go of the rest of the people. When Mo Zizai spoke just now, he really thought that his family had been raided.

The other businessmen who were pressed to sit down also thought of what happened yesterday, and immediately regretted it. They quickly pleaded with mercy: "Prince, Caomin is willing to donate money."

"Prince, Caomin was not at home yesterday. I don't know about this. If I knew Caomin would definitely donate money. Please beg the prince to be kind. I am sincere to Dazhou."

"Prince..."

"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense."

Mo Zizai waved his hand and interrupted the wailing of these people, saying, "No one of you people said he was wronged. Yesterday I asked Xue Wanche to promise to visit everyone, so don't say anything like not being at home."

"Since you don't want to give it to me, I don't like to force others to make things difficult. So I'd just take it myself, so you don't have to worry about it anymore. At most, your neck hurts and it will pass quickly."

"Prince, please spare me..."

"Prince..."

Looking at the sounds of begging for mercy, Chen Qisheng sat beside Mo Zizai and couldn't help but frown, just because he was worried that if Mo Zizai spoke, he would search his house together, so he hesitated for a long time and didn't say it.

Mo Zizai still has a good impression of the owner of the bank who donated two million taels from here. Seeing that he was eager to speak but stopped, he asked directly: "Boss Shen has anything to say, but it doesn't matter."

When Chen Qisheng heard Mo Zizai call him Boss Shen, he suddenly jumped in his heart. This is not a good name. The three people who were called the boss just now have already been pressed down. Now he is a little allergic to this title.

"If the prince raised his head and called Chen a shopkeeper, I really dare not be the boss."

“…”

Looking at Chen Qisheng's look like a frightened bird, Mo Zizai was a little silenced and comforted him: "Okay, since you insist, then call you Manager Chen."

"I see how Manager Chen looks, do I want to say something to me?"

Chen Qisheng was silent for a moment. To be honest, he was a little afraid to say it. He was worried that if he said it, he would become the one waiting for others to plead for mercy later.

But thinking about the consequences of Mo Zizai's killing of these merchants, Chen Qisheng really couldn't let himself watch, so after he was silent, he still spoke, "Do you dare to ask the prince, are you planning to search all their houses?"

"no."

Looking at Mo Zizai's words that shook his head and rejected him, Chen Qisheng felt much more at ease. It seemed that Mo Zizai was not as cruel as he imagined. Then when he was about to say something, he heard Mo Zizai continue to say,

"It's not that I've prepared, but that I have already copied it, and not only them, but also the king of the people outside."

“…”

Chen Qisheng's hand shook violently, and he was stunned. At this moment, he even felt that he had auditory hallucinations.

"Prince, you mean that there are more than one hundred outside..."

"There are 190 people. If you put aside the dozens of people who are willing to pay, there are probably more than 170 people left."

Mo Zizai directly gave detailed data and said to Chen Qisheng: "I will copy all of these more than 170 people, and I don't plan to leave any of them."

Chen Qisheng stayed there for a long time before he came to his senses. Among the more than a dozen merchants who were held down, there were several imperial officials standing behind him, and he might not know more.

In addition to the more than 100 businessmen over there, I am afraid that the network of relationships will be spread throughout the court. If they are killed, it will be equivalent to directly offending the officials in the court.

Chen Qisheng did not dare to say it clearly, so he could only imply a hint, "Prince, these people are very involved. If they are confiscated like this, it may cause turmoil in the court."

“Not turbulent.”

Mo Zizai heard Chen Qisheng's hint and shook his head directly and said, "I don't know who they are involved with, and I don't want to know."

"I only know one thing, that is, they have no involvement with the Yulin Army, which is enough."

The Yulin Army was the veterans whom Mo Congyi brought back from the battlefield. Their foundation was not in the capital at all, so they had nothing to do with the merchants and officials in the capital.

As long as they have nothing to do with these merchants, Mo Zizai has nothing to be afraid of in this capital. If someone dares not accept it, it is best to let them stick their necks out, so they can try the Yulin Army's sword is fast, or their necks are hard.

As for the officials who offended the court, he had killed so many officials, and no one dared to jump out and cause trouble for him. Now he was just killing some merchants, and no one dared to speak out.

Of course, it is inevitable to use tricks in secret, but even if he doesn't kill these merchants, the officials will not be at peace, so there is no difference between whether or not he kills these people.

As long as the gun is strong enough, what can I do if the city is massacred? How should I be the emperor? Who dares to say no?

Now in the capital, he has the strongest gun in his hands, as long as he doesn't make too much trouble and attracts rebellion from all over the country too early, there will be no big problem.

When Chen Qisheng heard Mo Zizai talk about the Yulin Army, he couldn't help but feel silent. He was a little confused about what Mo Zizai's mentality is now. Is he already trying to suppress it with the army?

Who governs the country like this?

Now Dazhou is like a person who has been sick for a long time. If you want to treat it, you can only slowly recuperate your body. After your body recovers some vitality, you can start treating it bit by bit.

But Mo Zizai was fine. He seemed to think that Da Zhou did not die fast enough, so he directly gave him a dose of tiger and wolf medicine. Such a powerful medicine could not bear even a normal person, let alone Da Zhou, a terminally ill person.

In Shen Qisheng's view, Mo Zizai is not governing the country, but destroying the country.
