An Tongcheng said that it was small, and that it was not big. When Mo Zizai blocked the entire city, it was useless for the whole afternoon, and Wang Qianjun was found.

In order to escape, Wang Qianjun changed into a cloth dress and wanted to pretend to be a commoner. At this time, he was caught in front of Mo Zizai and looked particularly embarrassed.

"Wang Qianjun, the governor of Yanyang County?"

Mo Zizai looked at the slightly embarrassed old man and was really surprised. He didn't expect that after poisoning his entire family, the Grand Zhou County Magistrate did not choose to break himself up, but instead chose to escape. If that was the case, wouldn't it be better to run away at the beginning?

So he looked at Wang Qianjun and was really hard to understand. He couldn't help but ask, "I killed my whole family and ran away. What are you trying to do? Couldn't it be good to run from the beginning?"

"The criminal Wang Qianjun, I have met the prince."

Wang Qianjun's body was shaking like a sieve. After trying to commit suicide, he was now full of fear of death. He knelt on the ground and didn't hear Mo Zizai's question at all. He cried and begged for mercy: "Prince, the criminal minister was just confused for a moment. He was threatened by the Xiao Yanbing. I hope the prince can give up his hands and spare the criminal's life."

"Give you a break? Why don't you?"

Mo Zizai shook his head. As a chief official in the border area, Wang Qianjun not only treasoned the country and surrendered to the enemy, but also acted as an internal supporter and directly killed Qi Feng, the county magistrate. The nature was too bad. If he was spared, not to mention whether others would follow suit when encountering such a thing, Qi Feng, who was killed by him, would not be able to get through.

After saying that, Mo Zizai was too lazy to pay attention to Wang Qianjun, who was scared to lose his mind. He turned his head and looked at Zhou Qi and asked, "Zhou Qi, treason and surrender to the enemy, and be an internal support for the enemy. According to the Great Zhou law, what should we do?"

Zhou Qi did not hesitate and directly gave the answer, "Return to the prince, he should be punished according to the law."

"It's a culprit."

When Mo Zizai heard the extreme punishment, he was slightly stunned. The so-called extreme punishment refers to the execution of Lingchi. This harsh criminal law has not been used in the Great Zhou for decades.

However, although this kind of criminal law was cruel, when Mo Zizai thought of Qi Feng and the generals who were killed by Wang Qianjun, he was cruel and said, "Since that's the case, then let's deal with it according to the Great Zhou law."

"ah?"

Wang Qianjun heard Mo Zizai's words clearly, so he was frightened. At this time, he couldn't even take care of pleading. He directly reached out to pull out the swords that looked at his soldiers, wanting to understand himself, but he was just a civil servant, how could he be able to rob those soldiers?

Seeing him stealing the sword, the soldier of the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry broke his arm bone with just one punch.

"Be careful."

Zhou Qi was extremely disgusted with officials like Wang Qianjun who betrayed his own people. When he saw the soldiers of the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry take action, he reminded him, "I will cut him into pieces later. If you break him, what should I do if you lose a few knives?"

"Here!"

When the soldier heard Zhou Qi say this, he immediately grabbed Wang Qianjun's joints with his hands, so that he would not have the chance to move any more.

Wang Qianjun was not sure whether it was because of the pain on his arm or because he was frightened by Lingchi's execution, so he fainted directly at this time.

"It's good to faint."

Zhou Qi glanced at Wang Qianjun who was fainted, and said nothing. He asked the soldiers to take him down and waited for the execution to begin tomorrow.

Mo Zizai took this time to let the soldiers of the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry start counting the wealth of the county magistrate's office. Wang Qianjun worked hard for a whole morning before loading a small half of his wealth. In addition to counting these, the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry also continued to search for his remaining wealth.

The execution of Lingchi started the next day, because Lingchi was a technical job, and the executioner in Antong City had never done anything like Lingchi, so the executioner was a collaboration between four executioners. The four took off Wang Qianjun's clothes and only had a pair of underwear to cover their shame. Then they covered him with a small eye fishing net. The four of them took turns using a sharp knife to cut off the flesh protruding from the mesh.

In addition to the four of them, there are also a group of doctors who prepare ointments and are on standby at any time. Basically, if the executioner pulls a knife, they will immediately apply the hemostatic medicine to prevent Wang Qianjun from dying due to excessive blood loss during the execution.

The entire Lingchi process lasted for three days in total, but because the executioner was not very professional, he only persisted for one and a half days before he was dying. Seeing this, the executioner immediately went to ask Mo Zizai for instructions, hoping to use some precious medicinal materials to protect Wang Qianjun's life so that he could continue to execute the execution, but this request was rejected by Mo Zizai.

"If you die, die. Those good medicines are not worth it."

After Mo Zizai said this, he didn't care about it. After all, Lingchi's thing was too cruel and it was a bit unacceptable to Mo Zizai, so he was too lazy to care about these things and let those officials do it.

"Here."

The prison officer responded, not daring to say anything more. After returning, although Wang Qianjun was dead, he did not stop and continued to let the executioners execute Wang Qianjun's body. According to the rules, there were 3,600 swords, and a single sword was not enough, which cut Wang Qianjun cleanly.

Because Wang Qianjun's family was killed in advance by him, the dignified county magistrate finally came to help him restrain his body. However, because Chang Yinliang did not do too much evil, Mo Zizai took advantage of the opportunity to open the city and defeated his guilt.

However, although the death penalty was exempted, he was still punished to the end of his official position, and his home was sentenced to be raided. The former county magistrate has now become a poor and innocent white man. Even if he collects the body of Wang Qianjun, he used the borrowed money to buy a thin wooden coffin.

Mo Zizai didn't care about the fate of these two important officials. His subordinates spent three days in the county magistrate's office and finally sorted out the money Wang Qianjun had plundered over the years.

I won’t mention the other details. The silver liang alone is as huge as 30 million taels. If he included his property and some fragmented treasures, the total value would probably exceed 50 million taels.

"That's so fucking cruel."

Mo Zizai really didn't expect that he could get so much silver from Wang Qianjun's house. You know, Hu Xiaosheng, the Minister of Revenue, who was the first to be the one who was raided in the capital, was only 10 million taels of silver for the whole family. But now Wang Qianjun has a few ranks of official positions and Hu Xiaosheng, but the wealth in the family is actually four or five Hu Xiaosheng.

"Sure enough, when it comes to greed for money, the Beijing officials still cannot compete with the local officials."

Looking at the mountains of silver piled up in front of him, Mo Zizai silently thought in his heart. After the matter was handled, should he find an excuse to copy all the officials in the border areas?

After all, his accelerator membership level is only level seven. Even if Xu Boyuan plunders the Southern Family, he would probably be able to get to level eight at most. It should be quite different from level nine. If he could copy all these officials in the border area, then there would be no problem with his accelerator reaching level nine.

"Well, it was such a pleasant decision."

Mo Zizai instantly set the future of the county magistrates, and turned around and asked Yuzhishi to investigate it secretly. After the investigation was made, he did not rush to take action. After the investigation was completed, he would just take them all in one pot.

Thinking of looking back at investigating and punishing those officials who have been greedy for decades, Mo Zizai suddenly felt a sense of expectation in his heart as if he had opened a blind box. However, this matter was too urgent. After the Great Zhou was pacified, what should be done now is to put away the silver taels first.

Mo Zizai thought for a while, then recharged 25 million taels of silver into the accelerator. As for the rest, he didn't move. The new county magistrate appointed by the court probably would not be long before. Mo Zizai couldn't get all the rest, and he would be replenished as treasury silver for him.

After all, under Wang Qianjun's management, the treasury of Yanyang County was empty and could run away. If Mo Zizai didn't give a penny to the next county magistrate, he would probably cry when the county magistrate came to see this situation.

...

Before Mo Zizai handled the matter of Yanyang County, Mo Yuanji, the King of Bei'an who was entrenched in Dingzhou Prefecture, finally couldn't help it.

He took advantage of Xiao Yan's army going north and the court had no time to take care of him, and directly rushed south, hoping to capture the capital before Xiao Yan's army.

In the court, after receiving the news that Mo Yuanji had been rushing south, the ministers were discussing it, but their main opinions were to hold on to the city for the time being, and then discuss it after Mo Zizai's army returned to the court.

Tang Weiyi looked at the minister who was talking below and tapped the Dragon Case with his fingers. The court suddenly became quiet. As the blood that Mo Zizai killed outside, Tang Weiyi, who was already quite skilled, became more at ease in control of the court.

The ministers had discussed for most of the time just now, and they looked at Tang Weiyi, ready to see her decision.

Tang Weiyi pondered for a moment, then asked, "How many of the imperial army are in the capital now?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, in addition to the 20,000 Yulin Army who had guarded the capital before, the 10,000 Yulin Army who went to war in Guangling County also returned. In addition, there are 50,000 Yuzhi Army who came back first."

Although Mo Zizai and Yang Yanzhang are now in charge of military affairs, and the new Minister of War cannot control anything, he is still clear about the mobilization of these troops, so after hearing Tang Weiyi's inquiry, he immediately explained the situation clearly.

"Are you 50,000 imperial troops?"

Tang Weiyi still knew the current strength of the Yuzhi Army, so when she heard that the 50,000 Yuzhi Army had already returned to Beijing, she thought about it for a moment in her mind, and then said, "Since that's the case, there is no need to wait for this matter."

Mo Zizai and Mo Yuanji are uncles and nephews after all. Although Mo Zizai definitely won’t have any concerns, she made up her mind very early on not letting Mo Zizai blame Tang Weiyi, who was notorious for killing uncles, and instantly made a decision.

"I want to go to the palace to command Wei Huang."

"The emperor personally commanded the army?"

Hearing this, the court exploded in an instant. It would be fine if Mo Zizai was wandering everywhere every day. After all, Mo Zizai's strength was there, and with Yang Yanzhang protecting him, safety is generally not a problem. And the most important thing is, who dares to point fingers at Mo Zizai's affairs?

So Mo Zizai went out to fight and went out, and these ministers pretended that they didn't know about it, and it didn't matter.

But Tang Weiyi's situation is different. She is the nominal emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and represents the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If she makes any mistakes, the Great Zhou Dynasty will be in danger.

And the most important thing is that if the empress really has a good or bad personality, she would not even make everyone in the court shook her bones and extinguish them.

Therefore, the ministers were anxious in an instant and quickly spoke up and said, "Your Majesty is a symbol of my Great Zhou state. How can you move lightly? This matter must not be done!"

"Your Majesty also asks you to put the national system first and take it back and make your life!"

“…”

The court was full of ministers who advised him for a while. Even the newly promoted Minister of Revenue, Chen Qisheng, of the Minister of Revenue, who was the Minister of Revenue, frowned. The emperor personally conducted an important task, and in their opinion, there was no need, so even they did not support it very much.

But the problem is that Tang Weiyi was not discussing with them at this time. She tapped the table twice, and then said in unquestionable tone: "I have decided, I don't need to say much, this matter is settled."

"this……"

After the ministers were blocked, they couldn't help but look at each other, and finally turned their eyes to Yang Weishang. As a veteran of the three dynasties, he was the only one who could speak in front of the empress at this moment.

Looking at the eyes of all the colleagues, Yang Weishang felt helpless. You see, I have nothing to do with it.

This Majesty looks easy to talk about, but in fact, the decision she made was soft on the outside but Mo Zizai could control it, and no one else could say it. So if Mo Zi was in the capital at this moment, he could still take a roundabout way to let Mo Zizai persuade him, but now Mo Zizai is not in the capital, what can he do?

But then again, Yang Weishang, who is a mature man, can guess some of the intentions of Tang Weiyi to personally lead the expedition, so if Mo Zizai was in the capital, he would not have to persuade him. Mo Zizai would not have let this Majesty do this.

But Mo Zizai just led his army to intercept Xiao Yan's army, and he would definitely not be able to come back for a while, so the empress's personal expedition is about to be a foregone conclusion.

Thinking of this, Yang Weishang sighed secretly in his heart. They had analyzed before that Mo Yuanji would definitely have abnormal movements, but he didn't think much at that time. He had known that His Majesty was paying attention to the imperial commander-in-chief, and he wouldn't let Mo Zizai follow the army to intercept Xiao Yan's army.

After all, compared with this Majesty, Mo Zizai, who seemed cruel and ruthless, would be easier to talk too much.

Yang Weishang, who was helpless in his heart, ignored the expected eyes of his colleagues and said in a deep voice: "Since Your Majesty has made up his mind, the old minister will not say more."

"It's just that Your Majesty's identity is extraordinary, and the current military strength of the court is not superior to King Bei'an. Therefore, the old minister has a request, hoping that Your Majesty should put the national system first. If things cannot be done, you can take a step back first. From a long-term plan, you must never put yourself in danger."

When he heard Yang Weishang's words, the minister who was already full of expectations for him instantly glared at him. This old flatterer had originally expected him to advise him, but he actually turned against him in an instant.
