Zhou Qi did not answer his meaning, and the sword was sheathed and turned around and left.

After he turned around, a crack appeared on the sword in Yang Yi's hand and his neck at the same time, and then Yang Yi's head and the tip of the sword slid to the ground.

Only a headless corpse was left holding a broken sword and staggering in place. After a while, the headless corpse also fell to the ground with a bang, and the blood instantly soaked the ground.

After Yang Yi's body fell down, Yang Xiong closed his eyes in despair. He knew that the Yang family was completely finished.

"Twenty years of hard work, everything will be empty in one day."

Yang Xiong's expression was a little sad. At this moment, he seemed to have grown twenty years old suddenly. He walked towards the East Factory Guard with a staggering pace and let the East Factory Guard lock himself up.

Looking at Yang Xiong's sad back, Mo Zizai had no sympathy in his heart. Twenty years of hard work were indeed difficult, but this was not the reason why he plundered money after he gained power.

For more than 30 years of being an official, he received more than 10 million taels of bribes, and died directly or indirectly in his hands, at least thousands of people had to be killed. He simply beheaded and confiscated his house. In Mo Zizai's opinion, it was already very cheap for him.

The place where Yang Xiong hid money was not very secret, or these corrupt officials were not secretly hiding money. After all, it was tens of millions of taels of silver. It was absolutely fine to pile it up in one piece and fill a room. With such a large size, they couldn't hide it even if they wanted to.

So their usual way is to dig one or more secret rooms, and then store all the silver bars and silver ingots in the secret room.

This is also the reason why Yang Xiong surrendered without struggle, because the so-called secret room is not as secret as people imagine. It is more like a cellar, just a place to store gold and silver. As long as you search carefully, you can easily find the entrance.

But when Chen Ying opened Yang Xiong's secret room and transported gold and silver outside, Mo Zizai suddenly found that there was a lack of manpower.

If you load a carriage, you will need at least dozens of carriages. Even if you call all 500 people from the East Factory, you will have to work hard for a whole morning to pull them away.

If Mo Zizai didn't take him away and directly recharged the money in the cellar, it would be difficult to convict Yang Xiong.

Mo Zizai pinched his eyebrows. He had just thought about raiding the house and recharged it before, but he didn't take these things into consideration. "I'm a little unconsidered."

"Chen Ying, do you know where the courtesy of the ministers who were given the wedding?"

"After the prince, according to the customs, they are usually placed in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

After Chen Ying finished answering, hesitated for a moment, and then said carefully: "Prince, the money obtained from the house search should be collected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs according to the rules."

"Um?"

Mo Zizai was stunned for a moment. He really didn't know about this, "Isn't the money for the house being searched and all was put into the treasury? How did he get it into the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

The difference between the treasury and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is still very big. The treasury puts the money from the Great Zhou, which is considered public funds. The emperor cannot embezzle the money in it privately. Even if the emperor has a legitimate reason to use it, if the Minister of Revenue, who is in charge of the treasury, feels that the reason is insufficient, he can still force it back.

Of course, this situation rarely happens. After all, there are still a few people who dare to fight against the emperor.

The Office of the Internal Affairs is different. The Office of the Internal Affairs belongs to the emperor's private treasury. The emperor can use whatever he wants. Even if it is a waste of money, except for the clerks who can criticize the emperor, other officials cannot control it at all.

"The money for gifts belongs to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the money for scouting the house belongs to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. So isn't there no money for the treasury?"

Mo Zizai inexplicably felt that this matter was a bit ironic. As a country, tax revenue is always the big deal, and the tax silver deposited in the treasury should be far greater than the inner treasury that the emperor saved by raiding his home and receiving gifts.

But now it’s the opposite. The country’s tax revenue has not yet been copied by a corrupt official for a year. This is really unspeakable.

"Forget it, if there is no, there is nothing. Since they can't collect the money, let the treasury be empty."

Mo Zizai just planned to put the money in the treasury, but now he has changed his mind. Although in this case, it is no different to put the money in the treasury and the internal treasury. The Ministry of Revenue will ask the empress for it if it has no money, and the empress cannot give it to it.

But Mo Zizai just doesn’t collect the money into the treasury, he just keeps the treasury empty, he wants these officials of the Ministry of Revenue to keep in mind that they have not collected taxes!

"Chen Ying, send someone to the Ministry of Revenue and ask the people from the Ministry of Revenue to come and count the property."

Mo Zizai's mouth curled slightly and continued, "After they order, they will bring all the money into the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and don't leave a copper coin for them."

Hearing Mo Zizai's instructions, Chen Ying and Zhou Qi looked a little strange. He asked someone to order money and didn't leave a single cent for others after ordering. This is too harmful.

However, Chen Ying didn't dare to say anything about Mo Zizai's decision. He waved his hand to summon a subordinate and whispered: "You go to the Ministry of Revenue and tell them that the Zuodu Censor's house was raided, and ask them to come and count the property immediately, and then load it with the car."

As for where to pull the money after loading the car, Chen Ying did not say that it would not be too late to talk about it after they loaded the car.

Mo Zizai waited for a while in the Zuodu Censor's Mansion, and was about to wait for the people from the Ministry of Revenue to come, so he took Chen Ying to search the house. However, the people from the Ministry of Revenue did not wait, but instead waited for a news.

"Prince, something happened a little bit."

After receiving the news, Zhou Qi whispered to Mo Zizai: "The news that the Zuodu Censor's Office was copied has been spread. The ministers in the court are now transporting silver to the palace, saying that they have not finished the gift and have to pay the gift."

Speaking of this, Zhou Qi paused for a moment, his face a little strange, "And I received the news that there were too many ministers who gave money, which caused the Zhuque Street to be blocked by carriages."

"Are all the Suzaku Street blocked?"

After hearing Zhou Qi's words, Mo Zizai was speechless. You should know that Zhuque Street is the widest street in Tianjing, more than 100 meters wide, which is a little wider than the eight-lane Chang'an Street that Mo Zizai had seen in his previous life.

The carriage could block such a wide street by just relying on the fact that it seemed that his scout of Yang Xiong's home really scared the officials.

"Chen Ying, stop raiding the house. People will send money to their door. Take some people to follow me and go to Zhuque Street to help Tianjingwei sort out the traffic."

After Mo Zizai gave the order, he did not forget to turn around and remind Zhou Qi, "The house was raided slowly in advance, but those ministers should keep an eye on it. When today's gift list comes out, they will carefully verify it. I am not sure that I am a little unwilling to give the money."
