Chapter 44

Mo Zizai's words were undoubtedly pointing at the noses of the ministers and cursing, but all the ministers seemed to have not heard it. They dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, because those who dared to speak had been cut off by Mo Zizai.

And the most important thing is that from the sudden outbreak of Mo Zizai's killing to the present, the empress sitting on the throne is like a puppet, without saying a word.

Seeing this situation, the ministers still don’t understand. This is either because the empress is the mastermind behind the scenes and uses Mo Zizai as a knife envoy, or because the empress and Mo Zizai conspire to do it.

But no matter what the situation is, it shows that the empress is now standing on Mo Zizai's side. Mo Zizai must have been allowed by the empress.

In the heart of Qian Min, the Minister of Revenue, Mo Zizai was undoubtedly bewitched by the empress as a knife. Otherwise, why would the son of the late emperor come out to be the executioner who is destined to be full of infamous reputation?

Thinking of this, Qian Min felt a little bitter. He didn't expect that the empress, who was not revealing and unrestrained, was so clever. She just spent a few days with Mo Zizai, and she could be willing to be a knife.

I was originally thinking that the empress would lose a lot of rice by stealing chickens, but I didn't expect that the chicken coop was taken away by others.

When the court fell into silence, Chen Ying returned to Xuanzheng Hall with boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.

When he first stepped into Xuanzheng Hall, Chen Ying, who had just returned from the house search, did not pay attention and stepped into a pool of blood with one foot, which immediately scared him.

"Where does the blood come from the Golden Palace?"

As soon as Chen Ying felt this question arose in his heart, he saw the headless corpse all over the ground and shivered immediately, "The murderous slaughter in the Golden Palace is so bold..."

Just as he thought of this, Chen Ying's mind suddenly appeared in his mind of his prince wearing a sword into the hall. It seemed that in this Golden Palace, except for the Yulin Army, it seemed that only his prince brought his sword?

So, were these people killed by the prince?

Thinking of Mo Zizai's daring to kill the ministers directly in the Golden Palace, Chen Ying suddenly slammed into his heart. He suddenly felt that he was really lucky to survive before.

Chen Ying, who was carefully stepping by the blood, looked at Mo Zizai's eyes full of awe, "Prince, Lord Hu's property has been counted."

"The total gold and silver are about 7 million taels, and jewelry, antiques and other utensils. Due to insufficient time, I just made a rough calculation and could be at least 3 million taels of cash."

"In addition, there are a large number of house deeds and land deeds. The servants have not yet verified them, but they think they should not be of lower value than jewelry and antiques."

After listening to the numbers reported by Chen Ying, all the ministers present looked at Hu Xiaosheng with shocked eyes, as if they were shocked by the astronomical number embezzled by Hu Xiaosheng.

No one knows whether it is a real shock or a fake shock. Anyway, these old foxes in the officialdom have all the best acting skills. From their faces, they all look shocked to be incredible, as if they never thought that Hu Xiaosheng could embezzle so much.

Mo Zizai, who had expected this number, was not too surprised. He looked at Chen Ying's sleeves soaked in blood, frowned slightly, "Someone resisted?"

"Yes, Prince."

Chen Ying bowed and replied: "When I went to count Lord Hu's property, several guest officials from Hu's family stopped me and prevented me from entering. I had no choice but to act forcefully."

"It's just that those guests are not weak. In order to take them down, the guards of the East Factory lost several people, and even the slaves were slightly injured."

"How many people have been damaged?" Mo Zizai's expression became a little gloomy when he heard that several people had died in Dongchang. "Have you shown your identity before going to handle the case?"

"Of course it's made it clear." Chen Ying replied quickly: "I not only told them that we were under the command of the Yuzhishi Dongchang, but also showed them the token, but they still took action."

"It's really lawless to know that you are from Yuuji, but you still dare to take action."

Mo Zizai's words were a bit cold, "Yuzhishi is His Majesty's Zhili organization. If you dare to attack Yuzhishi, that is to despise the imperial power, and despise the imperial power is equivalent to rebellion."

"Zhou Qi, find out the identities of those who attacked, and the whole family is beheaded!"

Even though he knew that Mo Zizai was killing a chicken to warn the monkey, none of them dared to speak. Mo Zizai was obviously crazy now. He beheaded more than a dozen ministers in the dynasty and was executed in all his family. Everyone in the court was in danger. He had never seen such a cruel person in the entire 800-year history of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Mo Zizai glanced at the silent ministers and withdrew his eyes with some satisfaction. They guessed it well, Mo Zizai was just killing the chicken to warn the monkey.

He wanted to establish an authority so that everyone knew that the Emperor was the emperor's subordinate, and the Emperor's order was the emperor's order. If he dared to obstruct the Emperor's case, he would be prepared for the whole family to be executed.

As for the Yuzhizheng Commission for the reason of being notorious, he didn't care at all. What he wanted was notorious, and what he wanted was that people all over the world would feel fear from the bottom of their hearts when they heard the Yuzhizheng.

After waving Chen Ying back, Mo Zizai opened a few boxes he carried, each box full of gold bars, and it was obviously only a part. Otherwise, if more than seven million taels of silver were carried in, the Xuanzheng Hall would probably be covered.

"Seven million taels of silver are available, three million jewellery and antiques are available, and a large number of house deeds and land deeds."

Mo Zizai slowly walked to Hu Xiaosheng, shook his head and said, "Mr. Hu, your property is really rich, more than 10 million taels, which is enough to be one-quarter of my annual tax revenue."

"It seems that I said you were sending beggars with two hundred taels. This is really true. Compared with ten million taels, two hundred taels are not enough to send beggars with two hundred taels."

Looking at Hu Xiaosheng with a gray face, Mo Zizai asked, "Don't you know what Lord Hu wants to say now? For example, explain the origin of this money?"

"Ho ho ho~"

Hu Xiaosheng was silent for a moment, and suddenly started to laugh wildly. After laughing for a long time, his expression gradually returned to calm. "It's over, what else can I explain."

"I am corruption. I worked hard to climb to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Isn't it just for money? Since this is the case, why don't I collect money from someone?"

Hu Xiaosheng, who knew that he would die, had no fear in his heart. He looked at Mo Zizai with mockery, "Do you think that killing me can save Dazhou? Do you think that you can get money by purging my family and national treasury?"

"Sorry, interrupt."

Although Mo Zizai felt that it was a bit inhumane to interrupt a dying person, he couldn't help but interrupt, "I'm not sure if you can save the Great Zhou if you kill you, but if you confiscate your family and the country treasury, you do have money."

"Although it's not particularly rich, it should be no problem to deal with the current situation for the time being."
