Chapter 1426 No one can hold my head

Of course, these people also understand that it would be very dangerous if they still compete with Liu Xu at this time.

So finally one person stood up, walked to Liu Xu and knelt down again and said, "Your Majesty, I plead guilty. Everything is my crime!"

"Who are you?" Liu Xu asked, squinting his eyes.

"I am the deputy chief minister of the Food and Forage Department!" the man said while kneeling.

"What crime have you committed?" Liu Xu asked again.

"I have committed a crime of corruption!" the man cried. "I was blinded by money. I stole the food in the granary and then sold it to a businessman in the author's world. I deserve death for my crime. Please punish me!"

Someone finally confessed, and Liu Xu looked much better. "Which granary did you sell the grain from?"

"Everything!" said the Deputy Sicheng, "All the grain in the granary was sold by me!"

"..." Liu Xu's body trembled suddenly, and then he stared at the Deputy Sicheng and said, "What did you say?"

Behind him, many officials of the Grain and Forage Department breathed a sigh of relief, and other officials in the court also breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, they sighed in their hearts that the people in the Grain and Forage Department were still too stupid, and His Majesty was so angry. , instead of pushing out a few people earlier, they had to admit their guilt so late, which almost scared everyone to death.

"Then you started these more than 1 fires?" Liu Xu's face was deformed, but he still asked.

"Your Majesty, all the food was sold by the city. All of this is my fault. I am willing to die to apologize. Please punish me!" Deputy Sicheng kept kowtowing.

"Are you alone? You can sell so much food, but no one is helping you or organizing the event?" Liu Xu asked through gritted teeth.

"Okay! Okay!" After clenching his fists on the spot for a few seconds, Liu Xu suddenly laughed and said: "Okay, okay, all the crimes are yours alone. Next, I just have to take care of you." Kill one person, and then sentence all the accomplices you confessed to life imprisonment. This time the matter is over, and everyone in the Food and Grass Department can go back to the carefree life before? "

"Your Majesty, everything is because I am greedy for profit and blinded by money. All the mistakes I made are all my fault. I don't want a life sentence. I just want to die to thank the world and serve as a warning to other officials in the world. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" The deputy chief minister said word by word while lying on the ground.

"They were all released by me!" Deputy Sicheng once again recognized them all. "When I saw the Great Sage in the Grain and Grass Department, I knew the danger, so I called my subordinates in each granary and ordered them to set fire to the warehouse."

"Yes!" Deputy Sicheng admitted very simply. At the same time, he also revealed a dozen names, all of which were officials of the Grain and Grass Department. In addition, he also said that there were one or two people in various local grain depots who were his accomplices, etc. , it can be regarded as confessing tens of thousands of accomplices in one go.

"Very good, you are so easy to deceive, aren't you? In your eyes, you don't have any brains at all, right?"

"I don't dare!" Deputy Sicheng said quickly.

"You don't dare. You have been pushed out by them as an outcast, and you still say you don't dare. You are a ruthless person who can even risk your life. There is nothing in the world that you dare not do!" Liu Xu said directly He kicked the deputy chief to one side and laughed angrily, "That's how you fooled me. Are you really not afraid of losing your head?" "Do you believe that I killed everyone in the entire Grain and Grass Division?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down!" An official suddenly rushed to Liu Xu, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, since Deputy Sicheng Xu has confessed, the facts are already clear. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can continue. I sent someone to investigate, but I think most of the people in the Food and Grass Department are still good, and those moths are just a small number. Your Majesty cannot harm all his colleagues in a fit of anger!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, this matter still needs to be investigated carefully. We might as well take this criminal into custody first and let Prime Minister Huo examine it carefully. It won't be too late to find out the criminals bit by bit. Saving people is more important right now. We must first find ways to get food and grass to help the hungry victims!”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Grain and Forage Department is responsible for collecting grain and grass. Moreover, the salaries of people at all levels in our court are also distributed by the Grain and Grass Division. The Grain Collection for migrant workers and the deployment of various grain materials in various regions are all for the Grain and Grass Division. If you kill everyone in the Grain and Grass Division, the whole court will be in complete chaos! And after this, who will dare to come to the Grain and Grass Division to serve the people?"

"Your Majesty, I think what you just said is inappropriate. You once said that governing the country according to law is an unchanging national policy and the foundation of national stability. The law must be used to maintain fairness and justice in the world. You do not have any evidence to prove that the officials of the Food and Grass Department are guilty. , but you threaten to kill all your colleagues in the Food and Forage Department. Isn’t this a national policy set for you? Your Majesty, please think again!”

Senior officials knelt down one after another to express their opinions and admonish Liu Xu.

"That's enough!" After listening to what several officials said, Liu Xu's face turned completely red. "Let me summarize what you want to say. It's nothing more than four words: Officials protect each other!"

"Your Majesty, I am guilty!" The officials who just spoke knelt down again and prayed.

"I understand what you mean. You want to threaten me with the stability of the world, and you want to silence me with what I have said about governing the country according to law. You are just as greedy as the Food and Grass Division, but you are just afraid of being investigated by me. Come on, kneel on the ground with the Food and Forage Department, so you want to use these things to threaten me and force me to end it hastily. "

"After all, you have already given me some dignity. One of you has already knelt down and confessed, and you have tens of thousands of comrades. It is enough for me to have the face to go through. I should also give you some face and let you go too, right?"

"And you also want to tell me that my world must be ruled by you. I can't offend you yet, right?" Liu Xu said word by word, using the coldest words, to thoroughly understand the thoughts of these officials. To put it bluntly, all these officials were dumbfounded.

No, that’s not what the script says!

"It's a pity. If I were the emperor of the world, then I might really be forced by you. After all, it is true that the entire country cannot rule without you. But I am not a human being. I am the Lord of the world. My power reaches the sky. Chechi, none of you can force me."

"And I am going to slap myself in the face today. I am going to show you today what will happen if you make me angry!" After Liu Xu finished speaking, he walked directly in front of all the officials of the Grain and Forage Department and used the coldest tone. He said, "Congratulations, these tens of thousands of fires were set quite cleanly. I really have no evidence to convict you now."

"But I'm not blind, and I'm not a fool, and I can't be bound by my own rules. No one can hold my head and eat this bowl of Xiang!"

"I think you are guilty. The entire Grain and Forage Department is colluding. All officials from the top to the bottom of the Grain and Forage Department are involved in corruption and bribery, and all employees are accomplices! Therefore, I pronounce a sentence that all officials in the Grain and Forage Department will be executed immediately and all employees will be sentenced to life imprisonment. , no reduction in sentence!”

"Liu Tian, ​​execute it!" Liu Xu finally commanded expressionlessly.
