The king behind the empress

Chapter 146 Assassination
Mo Zizai glanced at Fan Yong, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "You should be punished for your adultery with the barbarians. No one can change this."

"As for your family, for the sake of your willingness to hand over the trade route, all property will be confiscated and expelled from the capital. They will not be allowed to take the imperial examination within three generations. Do you have any objections?"

Fan Yong kowtowed heavily, "Thank you for your kindness, the grassroots have no objections."

Jia Fu, who was standing behind Mo Zizai, waved his hand, and soon two Dongchang guards came up and dragged Fan Yong down, leaving only a dark red bloodstain on the spot.

Originally, he was still a grain merchant boss with great reputation, but he became a prisoner whose house was ransacked and beheaded in an instant, and the rest of the people couldn't help but feel a little bit sad.

The other two grain merchant owners, Cao Xi and Chang Wei, saw Mo Zizai turning his gaze to them, and their faces turned pale with fright.

"My lord has clearly observed that the grassroots are law-abiding, and there is absolutely no adultery with the barbarians!"

Cao Xi was so frightened that he could hardly sit still, and hurriedly opened his mouth to defend.

"Well, this king knows that you didn't have an affair with the barbarians."

Hearing Mo Zizai's words, Cao Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could finish his breath, he heard Mo Zizai continue to say: "The person you're having an affair with is the King of Bei'an."

"Gah..."

Cao Xi didn't come up in one breath, and almost missed it. Chang Wei, who was standing behind him, hastily stepped forward and slid behind his back a few times forcefully, and he managed to let him go.

Seeing that Cao Xi returned to normal, Chang Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to himself, "You can't smoke it, if you want to smoke it, then I will be the one who is unlucky."

Cao Xi, who was barely back to normal, glanced at Chang Wei who was helping him with complicated eyes. If it wasn't for the guy who didn't have a hand, he probably would have stabbed the bastard Chang Wei to death by now.

"My lord, I..."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense."

Before Cao Xi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mo Zizai, who took a box here from Chen Ying, took out the basic account book from it and threw it at Cao Xi,
"The king of your family also copied it. This is your account book. You can check for yourself if there is any problem."

"You don't need to look at the Caomin, this is the account book of the Caomin."

Cao Xi had a miserable expression on his face, and since Mo Zizai brought the box over, he recognized it as his account book, so he didn't think it was a fluke at all.

"Supply food and grass to the fourth uncle of the king. Judging by the amount in your account book, it is enough to support an army of 5 people."

Mo Zizai said sarcastically: "Boss Cao, I didn't see it, you have quite a big pen."

Logically speaking, providing food and grass to the vassal king is not a serious crime. He can even argue that he sold it to the king of Bei'an. In this case, the crime is even smaller.

But the official word is two mouths, how to convict him depends on Mo Zizai's attitude.

And Mo Zizai and King Bei'an, although they haven't broken their faces on the surface, are already on the same level in secret. He provided food and grass to King Bei'an. In Mo Zizai's view, this matter is no less serious than private Like the barbarians, even worse.

In addition, Mo Zizai had no intention of reasoning with him at all right now. He ransacked the house first and then questioned the crime when he came up. King An, I am afraid that he is also doomed.

So Cao Xi didn't dare to defend himself at all, and bowed his head and said, "Grassman, plead guilty."

"Caomin is willing to donate the list of all the personnel of our grain bank, so that even if Caomin dies, the grain bank can still operate normally."

"I also hope that the prince can show mercy and forgive the family of Caomin."

"Ok?"

Hearing Cao Xi's words, Mo Zizai was slightly taken aback. He didn't expect Cao Xi to be so knowledgeable about current affairs. Originally, he planned to seal up Cao Xi's food business and then find someone to manage it. Now it seems unnecessary?
Thinking of this, Mo Zizai's tone softened a little, "The crimes of shopkeeper Cao did not implicate the family. Now that the shopkeeper Cao is so clear about the righteousness, the king decides to leave a small fortune for your family. .”

"Although it won't be too much, it's still no problem to maintain their daily needs. How do you see it?"

"Thank you for your kindness, the grassroots have no objection."

Cao Xi bowed to Mo Zizai and saluted to the end, then walked to Dongchangwei by himself, and let them take him away without saying a word of excuse from the beginning to the end.

"He's a smart guy, too."

Mo Zizai looked at Cao Xi's calm figure when he was pushed down, sighed slightly, and then looked at the last grain merchant, Chang Wei.

Seeing that the two shields were pushed down, Chang Wei couldn't help showing a wry smile, knowing that it was his turn.

"My lord, has Cao Min's house been raided?"

"Yes."

Mo Zizai didn't deny it either, nodded and said: "The first two have an affair with the barbarians, and the other has an affair with the king of Bei'an. It's good for you, and they have an affair with the Weiguo."

"The three of you really have a tacit understanding. One person chooses one. Could it be that you have discussed it in advance?"

"My lord was joking. It's too late to hide this kind of head loss. Who dares to discuss it in advance."

Hearing that his home had indeed been ransacked, Chang Wei not only showed no pain on his face, but showed a trace of calmness, "I still didn't expect that the things we thought we were keeping secret were nothing in the eyes of Yu Zhisi."

Hearing what Chang Wei said, Mo Zizai shook his head, but he didn't explain anything. In fact, Yu Zhisi didn't have so much information about them. Mei Wei and Yu Zhisi only guessed based on various clues that they might be in touch with internal and external enemies. There is no evidence at all.

All the evidence was brought out after the house was raided, but Chang Wei didn't know it, so he felt that Yu Zhisi had everything in his hands.

"Communicate with internal and external enemies, and the crime should be punished by the family. Do you have anything to explain? It is also convenient for the king to find an excuse to spare the lives of your entire family."

"some."

Chang Wei smiled wryly, took two steps forward, stood at the position where Fan Yong kowtowed just now, and put his hands in his arms, "Caomin has... Dedicated to the lord, I hope the lord can bypass Caomin's family."

"what?"

The words Chang Wei said were so vague that Mo Zizai didn't hear what Chang Wei said at all, so he couldn't help asking.

"What Caomin said was... go to hell!"

Chang Wei's hand was pulled out of his bosom suddenly, and three poisonous darts were thrown into his hands, and he went straight to Mo Zizai's face.

"If you want my life, you can be buried with me!"

At such a close distance, Chang Wei violently launched an attack, but everyone did not react, only Zhou Qi, who was always vigilant, did not hesitate at all, and drew out the sword with a "Cang Lang".

Just when he was about to swing his sword to knock down the three poisonous darts, he saw Mo Zizai wave his big hand, an afterimage flashed in the air, and directly held the three poisonous darts in his hands.

"Assassin King Shajia, you are really brave. It seems that you are determined to send your whole family away."
