After I was reborn, I became the white moonlight of the destitute son

Chapter 175
Looking at those people kneeling in the center of the hall, the emperor snorted coldly from his nostrils.

"Fear? I've seen how fearless you are! You've become more and more greedy every time, and you're ruthless in doing things without leaving any room for them. Have you ever had a little bit of fear?"

The emperor continued: "More than a month ago, I received a detailed account book about how your lords collected money, as well as where the money came from and where it went. Would you like to have a look?"

"When I saw that account book, I had an idea to drag all of you out and behead them to the public, copy and behead all the families, and wipe out the three clans. But my teacher happened to be there, and he said that decades of veterans have no merit but hardships." Thank you. So I thought, at any rate, you have been helping me since I was young, thinking that as long as you are willing to spend the money you have accumulated in these years on Yicheng, or take the initiative to ask me for your guilt, I will leave you a note survive.

But what about you?I asked the Seventh Prince to hold a banquet and hinted several times, but you pretended to be stupid and pretended not to understand.It forced Zhende Chen'er to speak out, but you either tried to evade it in every possible way, or you took out such a small amount of money but it seemed like you were dying...

I gave you the way to live, but you don't want it.

In the past month or so, you have ridiculed Zhou Xining many times when the old emperor was in court.But has any of you ever thought that it's because of you big lords who receive imperial salaries and eat people's tax money that everyone abandons Yicheng, and that's why she, a little girl, is forced to show her face to hold a tea party to raise money and go to the city alone? Yicheng sent food and medicine to the people.

It doesn't matter if you don't praise her for her righteousness, and it's okay if you don't praise her for being a heroine. She doesn't care about these false names at all.I just want to ask you a question, when you ridiculed her that the rooster wakes up in the morning, didn't your conscience ache?Does your face hurt?You have forgotten your origins, and the thousands of people who gave birth to you, how did you have the face to open your mouth and say that she is the hen of the morning?

That's it, the old master still thinks that there are many innocent people in your three races, and he reminds you, don't want to go to the dark, but what you get is your snort.

Even so, when I made up my mind to deal with you, the old master still advised me to wait a little longer and give you some time to repent.

But I waited and waited, but what I was waiting for was that you colluded with local officials and openly opposed the imperial court. Not only did you secretly hide food and medicinal materials, but you also went to Beijing in groups to sue He Shizi for your tricks...

In order to save your lives, the old emperor reminded you again and again, you just don't appreciate it, but you want to destroy his grandson-in-law?Say it yourself, how can I save your heads for you?

Unrestrained corruption is a capital crime; colluding with local officials to persecute the people is a capital crime;

All the piles are capital crimes..."

quiet!
Deathly silence!

Those people kneeling in the middle of the hall, regret it, why didn't they donate more money at the beginning?Why didn't you hear the deep meaning of the old master?What should I do now?Seeing that the emperor is going to be serious this time...

But the other officials are rejoicing, fortunately they are greedy and restrained, fortunately they have not been exposed...

"His Majesty!"

In this extremely quiet time, He Beiting's call Your Majesty was extraordinarily loud.

"Your Majesty, if your lords voluntarily hand over all the money they have accumulated over the years to the treasury as atonement, I feel that you can be exempted from the death penalty. After all, your lords... have also served the country before."

The emperor understands the implication of He Beiting's words, that is to be killed, but all the money they are greedy has to be spit out.Instead of trying to find a place to pay for it, let them take it back to save their lives.

"Look at your popularity...the court is full of civil and military affairs, only He Shizi, who was persecuted by you, is willing to intercede for you...your old faces...I am ashamed for you!"

"Since He Shizi is pleading for mercy, then I will give you one last chance. Within three days, those who put all the money they have collected into the treasury will be spared the death penalty."

"I pass on my decree, there are local officials Chen... and others who deceived the emperor and blatantly violated the imperial government's decree. After three days of sentence, they will be beheaded for public display and their property will be confiscated. The men of this family who are over ten years old will be exiled to the northern border. Children are not allowed to take the scientific examination for 50 years."

"Your Majesty, forgive me, I am guilty... Your Majesty, please forgive me..." Mr. Chen and others all kowtowed on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Second prince, second prince, save me, I don't want to die, but..."

"But what? But you think the sentence is too light?" Chu Yuming's forehead twitched, and he glared at Master Chen and the others viciously. If eyes could kill, they would have been crushed to pieces by Chu Yuming's cold gaze. It's over.

A bunch of idiots who didn't accomplish anything well, were about to die, and even tried to pour dirty water on him.But want the whole family to die?
Seeing the threat implied by the cold eyes of the second prince, Mr. Chen and the others all shuddered.The emperor sentenced them to death, but their sons and grandsons are still alive, but if the second prince did it secretly...

Thinking about it this way, Lord Chen and the others gave up crying, even though they were unwilling, they could only grit their teeth and stare silently before being dragged out by the guards in front of the palace...

"Your Majesty, please allow the guilty minister to resign first and go back to collect the entire family's wealth..." Zuo Shilang saw Mr. Chen and his group being dragged out, and the second prince not only did not show any affection, but also threatened them with their remaining family members, his heart was instantly broken. It's completely cool.

This is the new master he pledged to in advance, so cold and cruel, his granddaughter is right, his old eyes really don't know people.

After the emperor raised his hand to confirm, Zuo Shilang who stood up instantly seemed to be ten years older. He turned around and walked out without even looking at Chu Yuming.

The few remaining people looked at each other, and then followed suit and exited the hall one after another.

As soon as they came out of the main hall, they saw Zuo Shilang not far in front, and quickly chased after him.

Master Gao said: "Master Minister, what should we do now? Are we really going to hand over all our wealth?"

"Yeah, I'm somewhat unwilling to just hand it over like this. Your Highness..."

"Yes, Your Highness will not ignore us..."

Zuo Shilang walked his own way with his head down as if he had never heard of it before. He didn't raise his head until he heard that Master Qiu and Master Wu both mentioned Chu Yuming and had expectations for that cold-natured prince. He began to sweep towards a few people.

But he laughed without saying a word.

"Haha... yes, really good..." Zuo Shilang smiled and shook his head while continuing to walk forward.

"Master Gao, Zuo Shilang, could this be..." Crazy?For the last three words, Mr. Wu only showed a lip shape.

Master Gao looked at Zuo Shilang who was walking forward while laughing, and then at the two people who were staring at him beside him, and sighed.

"Go back and collect the whole family's wealth, let's buy your life with the money." Lord Gao looked at the left servant who seemed to be insane, and then thought of the local officials who were sentenced to beheaded for public display, and vaguely understood something.

With His Royal Highness the Second Prince, I'm afraid there will be no hope...

Otherwise, when the emperor lists their crimes, he will not say a word...
