Mo Zizai looked at the right censor of the Censorate and couldn't help but shake his head slightly. It was not easy for Dazhou, a official in which most of them were corrupt, to remain honest.

"As a fourth-rank official, Lord Shi has 180 taels every month. How can he say he has no money?"

After hearing Mo Zizai say this, Shi Zhipei was stunned. The officials in the court, no matter how big or small, had been owed for half a year. Hu Xiaosheng said this at the beginning, why did Mo Zizai start to pretend to be stupid again?

But there was no way. Although he didn't understand Mo Zizai's purpose of pretending to be stupid, he had to bite the bullet and say, "Prince, I have not paid my salary for half a year."

"Why didn't the court pay his salary?"

"Of course it's because the treasury is empty..."

Hearing Mo Zizai's question, Shi Zhipei said the answer without thinking. But just halfway through, he suddenly reacted and looked at Mo Zizai with some surprise, "Prince, are you saying you want to pay your salary?"

"This matter is not the only thing that I have to say. After all, I am just a prince, so I don't care about the treasury affairs."

Facing Shi Zhipei's expectant gaze, Mo Zizai suddenly spread his hands with some evil taste and looked innocent, "So it's useless to ask me, you have to ask Your Majesty."

Looking at Mo Zizai's smiling face, Shi Zhipei's teeth were itchy. If he hadn't been able to beat Mo Zizai, he would have gone up and sucked Mo Zizai now.

I can't control it. Why didn't I see you when I was murdering me just now? Why didn't I see you when I was extorting me? Why didn't I see you when I was extorting me? Now when I ask you for money, you can't control it.

Bah, my real grandson!

Just as Shi Zhipei was secretly scolding Mo Zizai, the empress sitting on the throne spoke, "The treasury is now full, and she will naturally make up for the salary she owed to you, so Shi Qing doesn't have to worry."

"Your Majesty is kind."

After hearing the empress speak, Shi Zhipei felt at ease and bowed to the empress to show gratitude.

"Your Majesty, I'll pay a double salary for the past six months."

Mo Zizai thought for a moment and suggested, "After all, I have owed all the salary for so long for no reason, and it is not appropriate for the court to say nothing."

"Double salary?"

The queen, who was afraid of poverty, was reluctant to let go of her double salary when she heard that she had proposed it, but she couldn't argue with her, so she nodded in pain and said, "Okay, since King Zizai said that, then give her double salary."

When he heard the empress say he wanted to pay a double salary, a few officials among the officials who were also not making extra money suddenly looked a little shiny and shouted in unison at the empress, "Your Majesty is kind!"

Mo Zizai shrugged and expressed his understanding of the behavior of these people who only thanked the empress but not her.

After all, I had killed so many ministers just now and put the officials' faces on the ground. It would be strange if they could thank them. However, looking at the ministers who bowed and bowed, Gu Xingying suddenly remembered another thing.

"By the way, Master Qian Ge, Mr. Hu just said that you are the biggest corrupt official in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so you should express your feelings more when this wedding between me and Your Majesty."

Gu Xingying thought for a while, then said, "Let's do this, I will say a number, ten million taels, what do you think?"

"Prince, Hu Xiaosheng was just catching and biting, and I really don't have any corruption."

Seeing that Mo Zizai came to find him again, Qian Min knew that this was because of the disaster caused by speaking for the Jiangnan family just now, and she couldn't help but complain in her heart, "I really can't take it out ten million taels."

"Master Qiange, since I asked you to pay, it means that I can let go of everything I have in the past and let it go."

"But this is based on your willingness to contribute money to the country. If you still plan to lose your penny, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Mo Zizai's eyes showed a hint of coldness. He looked at Qian Min and said lightly: "I'll ask once, can I take it out if I can take it out with ten million taels?"

When Qian Min heard Mo Zizai say this, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Is this a multiple-choice question? This is a question for giving away!

If he dared to say that he couldn't take this out, Mo Zizai would definitely take someone to his house to help him get it, so he hurriedly replied: "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"I will be able to get some property when I go home and sell some property. Maybe I can get 10 million taels. When His Majesty and the Prince get married, I will definitely get 10 million taels."

"Hmph, come on."

Mo Zizai was too lazy to pay attention to him. He was said to be the most corrupt official in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and if he had to pay even ten million taels, then his title as the most corrupt official would be too worthless.

If it weren't for the fact that the court still needed someone to work, Mo Zizai would have cut him with a sword and searched his house directly.

"Now, the treasury has money, you can discuss disaster relief."

Mo Zizai signaled Chen Ying and others to clean up the corpses in the hall, and then took his dragon sword and retreated back to the corner. "I am not very good at this kind of thing, so I won't disturb you."

Chen Ying and the others were very quick to move. In just a short while, the corpses on the hall were cleaned up. Although there were still a lot of red blood and a pungent smell of blood, it was much better than the scene just now that was like a slaughterhouse.

In addition, the executioner Mo Zizai has also retreated aside now, so the ministers present felt relaxed and discussed things much faster.

Because Mo Zizai's money that he extorted his ministers had not yet arrived, the money was not included for the time being. Now we will only discuss the distribution of more than 10 million taels of silver copied from Hu Xiaosheng's house.

Finally, he decided to divide the money into two, four million taels to the Marquis of Zhenyuan in the East, and asked him to summon troops on the spot, buy grain and grass, and use it to Weidong.

The remaining six million taels are divided into three parts, three severely affected counties, each county allocated two million taels to provide relief to the victims and to collect grain and millet from neighboring counties.

After all, the money was spent, the rest was who supervised the money.

After all, Hu Xiaosheng said just now when he was dying that everyone was greedy. If the money for disaster relief is not supervised after it is allocated, it may not be in the hands of the victims.

Mo Zizai watched them discuss and discuss it, but there was no result in a discussion, so he couldn't help but speak again, "Your Majesty, I think that Lord Shi Zhipei can go to this disaster relief."

Hearing Mo Zizai speak, the noisy Xuanzheng Palace suddenly calmed down, and everyone looked at Shi Zhipei at the same time.

The empress has always agreed with Mo Zizai’s proposal without any brainstorm, so she asked directly: “Shi Qing, are you willing to go?”

"It's natural that you can do nothing when I go to supervise disaster relief, but..."

Shi Zhipei was slightly hesitant. He was not afraid of supervising disaster relief, but he was not good at accounts and had no experience in disaster relief. If the people below joined forces to fool him, it would be difficult for him to notice.

"Don't worry, Lord Shi."

Mo Zizai knew Shi Zhipei’s concerns and said lightly: “The guards of the East Factory will accompany you to the disaster site. If you have time, I may also go there in person.”

"Then I have no worries."

After hearing what Mo Zizai said, Shi Peizhi's concerns were all gone. If the Dongchang Guard also went there, he would naturally not be afraid of others fooling him.
