Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 307 No mercy, let's make a decision!

Looking at the names on the account book, Baili Qingcang was furious, and slapped the account book on the table.

Hearing the name of the fire place from Jingwei Mansion Yin, many officials' expressions were ugly. When he presented the account book, some people's faces were pale and they were about to faint.

According to the laws of Da'an, officials are not allowed to enter and leave the Fengyue place.It's just that they are officials when they wear official uniforms, but they are not ordinary men when they take off their official uniforms.Who can part with those lingering nests and gentle villages?

Those bustards who run brothels know their identities and don't dare to talk nonsense, so they go more and more unscrupulously, some even hold courtesans in brothels and keep outside rooms.

These should not be recorded in the account book, right?
They were lucky in their hearts, but Baili Qingcang's angry shout completely shattered their luck.

Bailiqing trembled violently, his face turned blue.

Shen Ninghua got up: "Hurry up and take a snow lotus pill for father."

The head servant hurriedly followed suit, and he was relieved when he saw the emperor's face softened a little.

Baili Qingcang pointed at the officials below with trembling fingers: "You...you..."

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

Bai Liqing frantically flipped open an account book: "On June [-]th, Liu Hujun participated in receiving a hundred gold from the oiran... Qian Tongzheng participated in the consultation and spent two to three thousand in silver, and won the oiran for one night..."

Bailiqing violently threw the account book in his hand to the ground, and took another one: "Taifu Siqing... Shao Zhan Shi... Shaoqing... spending money like running water, it's really generous, you guys don't want to spend money." Really rich!"

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged."

"Yes, I don't know who forged this account book. Is it to wipe out the civil and military affairs of the Manchu dynasty?"

"The emperor is clearly aware."

Baili Qingcang's eyes were full of blizzards: "Want to know who recorded these account books? Well, I will tell you that these account books are recorded and sent to the princes' houses! The third, fourth, Sixth, do you think so?"

The three people who were named quickly knelt down: "Father, my son was wronged, there is absolutely no such thing, please look into it clearly."

"Father, the laws of my country of Da'an clearly prohibit it, why did my son do it on purpose?"

"Father, please be careful."

Baili Qingcang slammed the account book in his hand to the ground: "Okay, don't admit it, right? Where is the leader of the Dragon Scale Army?"

"Subordinates listen to orders."

"Go and seal up all the brothels in the capital. All the seized people will be imprisoned. The silver taels will be confiscated into the palace and carried up to the Chengqian Palace. Let our officials and princes of Da'an Kingdom have a good look."

"Yes."

Shen Ninghua and Baili Junyi sat side by side in their seats, looking coldly at the officials who were in a trance and sweating, without any sympathy in their hearts.

Some people live on the king's salary, but never want to share the worries for the king. Since they are going to leave for a period of time, they should clean up these moths.

Capture the thief first and capture the king first. After killing these big moths who are making clouds and rain in the court, the little people who are collecting money for them can slowly clean up. Anyway, after leaving the capital, they have plenty of time.

The efficiency of the Dragon Scale Guards was not comparable to that of ordinary guards, but within half an hour, the fire was extinguished, the golden caves were turned upside down, and a large number of silver jewels and land deed bank notes that had not yet had time to be shipped out were dug out , loaded with chariots and horses into the palace.

Baili Qingcang's mouth was dry, and his hand was trembling when he picked up the teacup. It took him a while to calm down, and he took a sip of the tea.He thought that if the Dragon Scale Army went to search, there would be evidence to be found out, but he didn't expect that the harvest would be greater than his imagination.

Boxes full of gold and silver ingots were brought in one by one, because they were too full to even close the lids, and the eyes full of golden color did not know how many people's eyes were red.

At the beginning, Bailiqingfan was still calm, but when more than two dozen boxes were brought in, he couldn't sit still anymore, and walked down the steps. He walked up to a box and picked up a gold ingot, each worth twelve taels. A box of thousands of taels of gold...

His body was covered with dark clouds, and his anger was like thunder: "But the statistics are out, how many silver taels in total?"

The leader of the Dragon Scale Army knelt down and replied: "Reporting to the emperor, a total of 330 million taels of silver, five boxes of jewelry, twelve boxes of precious calligraphy and painting porcelain were seized, and there are 48 title deeds of houses and stores. Others are still being counted. "

"300 million taels?" Baili Qingcang's head was buzzing, and he gritted his teeth firmly, "The drought in the Northwest urgently needs silver relief, and the household department can't even come up with 100 million taels, and now it's just investigating and punishing a few brothels. , just find out 300 million taels?"

Baili Junyi stepped forward and looked at the box full of gold and silver, and smiled mockingly: "Father, these silver taels are probably only the income of the past few months. After so many years, the gold and silver earned may be more than ten times."

Baili Qingcang's chest was so tight and aching, he never imagined that someone would dare to amass such a large sum of money at the feet of the emperor!

"It's really unexpected, I never imagined that my officials asked you to donate money for disaster relief at a critical moment, and you couldn't even come up with a mere 1000 taels, but now you can spend hundreds of gold and thousands of gold to support a few singers, okay, That's great, who are the people raised in my court? Officials who help me govern the world? No, you are clearly blood-sucking devils!"

Bailiqing spoke incoherently, he no longer knew how to describe his mood.

All the officials were frightened by his anger, wishing they could just lie down on the ground.

Baili Qingcang thought of the owners behind those brothels, and looked at the princes present with sharp eyes like a knife: "Third, fourth, and sixth, are you the masters behind these brothels?"

He has always known that several princes are restless, but which prince can not have the slightest covetous heart for the throne?As long as their small fights don't affect the stability of Da'an, he can turn a blind eye and close one eye, and take it as a test for the prince, but if this is true, how much money his sons have taken behind his back? Cai, how many officials have he mastered?
Could it be that after a while, they will be able to control the entire court, and then, what will happen to him, the emperor?

Thinking of this result, he felt chills in his heart, followed by overwhelming killing intent. He has controlled this country for nearly 30 years, and he does not allow anyone to challenge his position, even his own son!

The third prince was the first to speak: "Father, I have been wronged. I don't know about Baihualou and Qianhualou. How dare I use this method to make money?"

The fourth prince quickly answered: "Yeah, father, my son is just like the third brother. You know that although I like to play around on weekdays, the most I often go to are a few restaurants. This flower house son is ten million Don't dare touch it."

The sixth prince is calmer than the two of them, his face is calm and calm, without the slightest panic: "Father, since my son was grounded by the father, all I want to do is to reflect on myself. I will copy the scriptures of filial piety all day long, pray for my father and queen mother, and ask my father to enlighten me."

His reaction made the third and fourth princes react too much.

Baili Qingcang narrowed his eyes, and his tone was terrifying: "I have tolerated many things in the past, but today's matter, I will absolutely tolerate it, even if it means killing most of the officials in the court! Even if it involves my sons! Where is the commander of the scale army?"

"The subordinate is here!" The commander of the Dragon Scale Guard stepped forward to accept the order.

"Where is the shadow guard?" Baili Qingcang shouted coldly.

"The subordinate is here!" The figure of the dead man who had just caught the maid appeared again elusively.

Baili Qingcang gritted his teeth, his eyes were burning with anger:

"check!"

"Yes, my subordinates take orders."

Waves of people quickly spread from the palace to the entire capital, Baili Qingcang sat on the throne expressionlessly, and the heavy coercion forced everyone to hardly breathe.This chilling feeling has not appeared for a long time, and they have almost forgotten the emperor's iron-blooded methods.

Shen Ninghua lowered her eyes, her eyes were extremely calm from the beginning to the end.

Time passed by, and it was a cool night, but many officials were sweating profusely. They had been kneeling for about two hours, but there was no news from the Dragon Scale Army and Shadow Guards who went to investigate.

Baili Qingcang sat motionless on the throne, no one knew what kind of anger was brewing in the emperor's heart.

Shen Ninghua looked up at the dark sky outside, thinking of the two children in her heart, they should have fallen asleep, and slept very soundly, but I don't know how many people will be sleepless all night from today.

About an hour later, there was faint crowing of chickens outside. Many officials' faces were pale, their knees were so painful and numb that they couldn't feel the slightest, and their figures were crumbling.

The Dragon Scale Army and Shadow Guard are finally back!Boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were brought in. Seeing the familiar colors and markings of the boxes, many officials fainted at first.

The shadow guard presented the secret booklet: "Master, my subordinates searched many officials' mansions, and all the things seized are recorded in the register. Please read it, master."

The leader of the Dragon Scale Army knelt beside the ground respectfully. He had seen the shadow guards before, and he also knew how fierce the emperor's shadow guards were. The emperor seldom used them.

Just like today, if they investigate alone, at most they will check the whereabouts of the silver, catch those bustards and singers, and ask the ins and outs of the matter clearly, while the shadow guards are dispatched, but they directly search the mansions of officials, whether it is a small official He was still a first-rank member, and he was thoroughly investigated!
Looking at the content on the secret book, Baili Qingcang supported the case with his hands, and it took a while for the blackness in front of him to recede. Instead of questioning angrily, he spoke directly:
"The guards join Liu Tong and make a decision! The General Secretary consults with Qian Yuan and make a decision! Zhang Bing, Minister of the Taipu Temple, make a decision..."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please spare me!"

"Your Majesty, I have committed a crime, and I deserve death. For the sake of my ten years of hard work, please spare my life."

The officials who were called out were so frightened that some of them peed on their pants.Zhan Lijue, that is Zhalijue, is the emperor really going to attack the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty?

The shadow guard didn't even give them a chance to distinguish, every time Baili Qingcang called a name, two people came out, grabbed the kneeling official and dragged him out!They couldn't even imagine what would happen if they were dragged down!

The third prince and the others were also stunned. They never imagined that the royal father had such power in his hands. They had no other thoughts at all. They just wanted to wash themselves clean quickly. Can they really wash themselves clean?
