The king behind the empress

Chapter 205

Looking at Du Xing's body lying in a pool of blood, Mo Zizai sighed slightly.

Du Xing is one of the few officials in the court who is dedicated to the public.

When his father was in power, although he disagreed with his father's political views, he still recognized his father's ability.

Therefore, although Du Xing was dissatisfied in his heart, he was conscientious in his work. Apart from cultivating some dead men secretly, he rarely did anything that harmed the public for personal reasons.

When he was in charge of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, there were very few unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, which is already very rare for the Ministry of Criminal Justice in this era.

Unfortunately, with Mo Congyi's death, he felt that the empress was not enough to control Da Zhou. If this continued, Da Zhou would fall into war after all, so he had other plans.

It can only be said that this person is not loyal to the royal family, but to the common people, he is considered a good official.

After all, Chen Ying searched Du Xing's house and only found 10,000+ taels of silver.

Although this amount is not small for ordinary people, it is pitifully small for the level of Minister of the Ministry of Justice. If you compare it with the more than 1000 million taels that Hu Xiaosheng was copied, you can say that Du Xing is a clean and honest official. Not too much.

Thinking of this, Mo Zizai walked out of the cell, and said to the warden Di Hong who was waiting for him outside the cell: "Give him a proper burial."

Hearing Mo Zizai's order, Di Hong replied respectfully, "I understand."

Mo Zizai felt a little helpless. He originally wanted to kill Du Xing's family as a warning to others, but he used a method similar to moral kidnapping to pull out the list of dead men in Du Xing's hands twice in succession. I'm ashamed, and I'm too embarrassed to cut off Duchen's family again.

Mo Zizai, feeling a little upset, turned his head to look at Di Hong, and asked, "What's the matter with you here?"

Seemingly seeing that Mo Zizai was in a bad mood, Di Hong quickly replied: "My lord, those people who were newly imprisoned in the Five Armies Commander's Mansion seemed to have made confessions in advance, and all the confessions pointed to the dead Yao Qing. "

"It's just that there are too many of them. Although they have made statements in advance, there are big loopholes in their words. The officials feel that there must be something wrong here, so I want to ask the prince for instructions, whether to torture them?"

Under normal circumstances, Di Hong, as the warden, does not need to ask for instructions, but this time Mo Zizai has arrested all the people from the Dudu Mansion of the Five Armies, and it is still without evidence, so now he does not know whether he should Using punishment, if using punishment, is there anything to worry about?

"Oh, and this."

Hearing Di Hong's words, Mo Zizai suddenly regained his spirits. Just as he was thinking that Du Xing's family could not be beheaded, the people from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies sent them up again. Well done!

"There is no need to use punishment."

Mo Zizai waved his hand and said, "The people in the Five Armies Commander's Mansion are the pillars of the country, how can we torture them privately without evidence."

"Shackle them and take them all out into the yard."

"Shackles?"

Di Hong hesitated, "They said they were only here to cooperate with the investigation, if they put on shackles, I'm afraid they would not agree?"

Mo Zizai gave Di Hong a sideways look, and asked with some dissatisfaction, "Why, do you need the prisoner's consent to order the prison to put chains on the prisoner?"

"Your Majesty understands."

Hearing what Mo Zizai said, Di Hong immediately understood what Mo Zizai meant, and didn't dare to ask any more questions. He immediately put all the people in the five-army governor's mansion in shackles and took them to the yard.

The people in the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion who were shackled were very angry, and they kept cursing when they were taken to the yard. Even after seeing Mo Zizai, they didn't stop cursing.

Seeing Mo Zizai appearing, Fushan immediately asked loudly: "My lord, we are here to cooperate with your investigation, why do you put shackles on me, this is clearly the treatment of prisoners!"

Hearing Fu Shan's questioning, the people in the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion immediately quieted down and stared at Mo Zizai with hatred.

Mo Zizai snorted coldly in his heart, and didn't respond to Fushan, but directly said to everyone: "Just now Warden Di told this king that everyone said that Yao Qing was the murderer behind the assassination of this king, but the confessions were different. Again, there's a big loophole, and it's clear that one of you lied."

"Therefore, Warden Di suggested that the king should torture you all, but I think that you are all talents in the five-army governor's mansion and are the pillars of the country. Therefore, the king is willing to give you a chance, as long as some of you are willing to stand up and put you If you tell the facts you know, this king can forgive you all."

"This is the last chance that this king will give you, I hope you can grasp it well."

As soon as Mo Zizai's words fell, it immediately caused a little commotion among the people in the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion. Some people looked at Mo Zizai with suspicious eyes, not knowing what they were thinking, and some people's eyes were a little wandering, obviously there was something wrong. Move as you wish.

"My lord, don't want to threaten us."

But before those people did anything, Wei Hao immediately said loudly: "It was Yao Qing who assassinated the prince, and it has nothing to do with us. We also cooperated with your investigation. Now that you say such things again, what do you want to do?" What am I waiting for?"

Hearing Wei Hao's words, the eyes of those people who were interested in it instantly became firmer. Obviously, after hearing Wei Hao's words, they felt that Mo Zizai was probably just threatening them with empty words. As long as they survive this time, they will be able to return. The five armies are in charge of the governor's office.

Mo Zizai still didn't respond to Wei Hao this time, but said again: "Now, I will ask you one last time, is there anyone who wants to tell what you know?"

This time, after Mo Zizai's voice fell, the field was silent. Obviously, they had already decided that Mo Zizai was threatening them, and no one stood up.

"Okay, since no one has come forward, they are all accomplices."

Mo Zizai clapped his hands, looking very happy, "To be honest, I'm really worried that some of you will stand up, and it's just right now that no one will stand up."

"Di Hong, take them away, take them all away."

"Take it away?"

Di Hong, who was standing beside him, was startled for a moment, and asked a little puzzled, "My lord, where are you taking them?"

"Is that even a question?"

Mo Zizai glanced at Di Hong strangely, and said, "Assassinating the king and killing him is punishable according to the law. Of course, he will be taken to the execution ground and beheaded."

"Take them all away and send them to the execution ground to have their heads beheaded."

"This……"

Di Hong was a little suspicious, but he didn't dare to say anything more, "The next official takes orders!"

Seeing that Di Hong was about to take someone to the execution ground, the people in the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion immediately panicked.

"My lord, what evidence do you have that we assassinated you?"

Fu Shan shouted hoarsely: "There are more than [-] people in my Five Army Commander's Mansion, are you going to kill them?"

"Why not?"

Mo Zizai spread his hands and said, "This king gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it yourself. Can you blame this king?"

"As for the evidence, don't worry about that. When you are dead, whoever questions the king will show the evidence."

"However, it is estimated that no one would dare to ask the king for this evidence."
