"Are you upright?"

Mo Zizai sneered and no longer paid attention to him, but from this incident, he could also see how long the Jiangnan family's hand was stretched out.

In the court, even though he knew that he would die when he spoke, there was still someone who dared to speak up to protect him. He was truly a thousand-year-old family.

"Mr. Hu, let's continue talking about your reasons for doubting the Jiangnan family. I want to see if anyone dares to jump out and stop you."

Seeing that the man was killed by Mo Zizai just said something and destroyed his entire family, Hu Xiaosheng couldn't help but feel a little fear. Mo Zizai was so murderous. If he was really sure that it was done by the Jiangnan family, then when he had enough strength in the future, he might really defeat the Jiangnan family.

But then Hu Xiaosheng threw this idea behind his mind. What does the destruction of the Jiangnan family have to do with him? The most important thing he is to protect his family, so he expressed his guess without hesitation.

"Because the strongest family in Jiangnan, the deepest conflict with the late emperor. The most important thing is that the first place where the late emperor was preparing to take action was the south of Jiangnan."

"With my understanding of the Jiangnan family, they will definitely not sit still and wait for the late emperor to get rid of them, so there is a great possibility that they will take the lead first."

"Well, although it's just your speculation, it makes barely understandable."

Mo Zizai nodded slightly and said to Hu Xiaosheng: "After you die, your family will be safeguarded. If someone dares to touch your family, they will kill one of your family, and I will destroy one of them. They will kill two of your family, and I will kill nine clans."

He knew that with the strength of the Jiangnan family, after Hu Xiaosheng said this, even if he offended the Jiangnan family to death, even if he died, those aristocratic families would not let Hu Xiaosheng's family go.

So saying this is a promise to Hu Xiaosheng and a warning to those families of the aristocratic families. He doesn't believe that anyone dares to risk being executed by the nine clans to target Hu Xiaosheng's family.

After hearing Mo Zizai's words, Hu Xiaosheng was slightly stunned. It was not entirely because of Mo Zizai's promise. After all, he said that he would let his family go. If something happened to his family, Mo Zizai's face would be lost.

What surprised him was that Mo Zizai's words meant that he was planning to kill him here, rather than being imprisoned in the prison of Yuzhiji to interrogate other people for evidence of corruption.

"It seems that I have always underestimated the prince."

Hu Xiaosheng's thoughts changed rapidly, and soon understood Mo Zizai's intention. He sighed faintly and closed his eyes.

Mo Zizai didn't be polite to him, and slapped Hu Xiaosheng in the heart, directly breaking his heart.

After seeing Hu Xiaosheng's body falling to the ground, a large number of people in the court breathed a sigh of relief, especially Qian Min, the Minister of Revenue. He looked like he had taken off a heavy burden.

While breathing a sigh of relief, Qian Min thought about the issue of the Jiangnan family mentioned by Hu Xiaosheng, and carefully said to Mo Zizai: "Prince, General Zhu Guo was set up a trap by the three countries, so he was buried and died. This is already recognized."

"Like what Hu Xiaosheng said just now, it is just his own conjecture. Things that have no evidence cannot be done at all. I hope the prince will not take it to heart."

"Evidence, what kind of evidence is needed?"

Mo Zizai glanced at Qian Min and said lightly: "I never need evidence in doing things. Since I doubt them, they should prove their innocence. If they cannot prove it, it means they did it."

“…”

Qian Min was stunned when he heard Mo Zizai's unreasonable words. He looked at Mo Zizai's expression as if he was taken for granted, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing that Qian Min stopped talking, Mo Zizai ignored him. He had let him go anyway. If the Jiangnan family could not give him a satisfactory reply, when Yuzhiji had accumulated enough strength, he would personally lead people to flatten the Jiangnan family.

Humph, a thousand-year-old family, he really wanted to know how much money this thousand-year-old family had accumulated. I think that any one of them could make the treasury rich in an instant.

Mo Zizai took out the gift book of civil and military officials from his arms again, and tore it to pieces in front of everyone.

"Are you relieved to see Lord Hu being shot dead by me?"

"The reason why I didn't take him to the prison for interrogation is because I don't want to kill all of you. After all, the court still needs people to work, right?"

"But that doesn't mean you're nothing."

Mo Zizai threw the torn gift book directly on the ground and said lightly: "I have never seen this gift list. Please prepare a special gift after you return home with your evening party."

"As for the standards, Lord Hu has generously donated all his wealth. I think you shouldn't be too stingy. It should be okay to take out half of your wealth, right?"

"If you are greedy, give more, and if you are less greedy, give less. As for those who are greedy, don't want to give more, that's fine."

"As long as you think that Yuzhiji can't find out your family's assets, it doesn't matter if you give it less."

"But if I find out by Yuzhiji, don't blame me for sending someone to help you count your property. By then, it will be more than 50%.

All officials dared not speak out about Mo Zizai's naked blackmail. Only one of them hesitated for a moment and stood up directly, "I dare to ask the prince, if he can't get a penny, what should he think?"

"Can't you take out the money?"

Mo Zizai frowned slightly, thinking that another person had a stubborn person jumped out to seek death, "Who are you?"

"I am the right censor of the Censorate of the Censorate, Shi Zhipei, has met the prince."

Shi Zhipei was also a little helpless. He was also worried that Mo Zizai would cut him with one sword, but he had to stand up. After all, his family was really out of money. He finally managed to raise a few taels of silver as a member, but Mo Zizai tore the gift list, and it didn't matter if it didn't count.

Now he is going to take it for the second time, where can he get him money and gifts?

"Oh, Shi Zhipei."

After hearing this name, Mo Zi immediately knew that this person was not here to find fault. The right-level censor Shi Zhipei was mainly responsible for the review of death penalty cases. He was honest and handled fairly. Because there were few unjust, false and wrong cases in the cases he had handled, so he had a very good reputation among the people.

People like him usually rarely get involved in party disputes, and they won’t talk to corrupt officials, so they can only stand up because they really can’t get the money.

In fact, in order to prevent corruption among officials, the Great Zhou Dynasty paid extremely high salaries. Officials like Shi Zhipei, who were poor, could not even be able to pay a penny.

But I really couldn't stand the treasury and the whole court, from the censors to the minor officials, had not paid any salary for half a year.

If the salary is not paid for half a year, it doesn't matter to corrupt officials, and they don't rely on this to make a living, but honest officials like Shi Zhipei are not allowed. Their main income is the salary of the court. Without the salary, they will directly cut off the source of income.
