The king behind the empress

Chapter 334
Hearing Mo Zizai's words, the hearts of the officials instantly rose again.

Although the assassination of the emperor is a big deal, but now there is a Minister of the Ministry of War and the Governor of Tianjing Mansion who stand up to die, Mo Zizai is not satisfied, does he want to continue to kill?

When Qian Min heard these words, although he was also terrified, he didn't worry too much about himself, but looked at Wang Fucheng's subordinates with veiled eyes.

In his mind, if Mo Zizai continues to pursue the investigation, the next ones to be held accountable will be nothing more than the people from the Ministry of War and the government office, and these people do not know what he is doing secretly, even if Mo Zizai Taking down those people will definitely not implicate him.

But what he didn't expect was that Mo Zizai didn't target the people in the Ministry of War and the Fuyin Yamen, but turned to look at himself.

"Qian Shangshu, I wonder if you know a fat man named Hu."

Mo Zizai looked at Qian Min indifferently, and asked indifferently: "That fat man's name seems to be Hu Zhong, and he is also from the capital. I wonder if Qian Shangshu has any impression?"

"Hu Zhong?"

Hearing this name, Qian Min's heart instantly set off a huge wave.

Hu Zhong is alert and reliable, so many people in the capital turn to him for work, and Qian Min himself is among these people.

So after hearing this name, Qian Min instantly felt that something was wrong, but after being the Minister of the Household Department for so many years, he had already cultivated his Qi-nourishing skills. Still without changing his face, he said: "Go back to the prince, this old minister has never heard of him."

"Really."

Mo Zizai didn't say much, but asked Zhou Qi to take the list he seized from Fatty Hu, and then he threw the list in front of Qian Min, and said indifferently: "Then you explain Why is your name on his list? And it's the first one!"

Qian Min was silent for a moment, then bent down and picked up the roster that Mo Zizai had dropped on the ground. After flipping through it hastily, he wished he could tear Hu Zhong into pieces.

This guy actually recorded all the people who had contact with him in the roster, and under each person's name, some keywords were written.

These words may be confused by others, but I, the person who once ordered Hu Fatty to do things, is very clear. Those few key words are clearly what I ordered Hu Zhong to do, and that fellow is actually alone. The ones that are not pulled are all recorded above.

But fortunately, I am still cautious in doing things. Every time I ask Hu Zhong to do things, my confidants come forward. I have never met Hu Zhong. It's just speculation, Hu Zhong alone is not enough to prove himself dead, but his confidant may be thrown out to die for him.

Thinking of this, Qian Min felt a little relieved, and said to Mo Zizai, "My lord, I'm sure I have never seen this old minister named Hu Zhong, and I don't know why my name appeared on his list."

"Dare to ask my lord, who is this Hu Zhong?"

"Qian Min, I don't like going around in circles, nor do I like charades."

Mo Zizai's tone showed a little impatience, "Hu Zhong once sent someone to assassinate the king in Nanjun, and he was captured alive by the king."

"According to his account, he sent people to assassinate me in Nanjun mainly to test whether Director Qiu is by my side."

"And after he finished his probing, something happened in the capital, so we can be sure that his probing is related to the assassination of Weiyi."

"And the list in your hand is the people who have been in contact with him, or in other words, the people on the list in your hand are all involved in this assassination."

"This king said so, do you understand?"

Hearing this, Qian Min immediately shouted loudly: "My lord, you must not listen to one-sided words!!!"

"This person just randomly took out a list and said that the old minister participated in the assassination. The old minister was wronged."

Speaking of this, Qian Min gave a deep salute, and said: "My lord, I hope you can bring this person so that the veteran can confront him personally. If he really has evidence that the veteran participated in the assassination, the veteran is willing to kill him."

"Oh, evidence."

Mo Zizai couldn't help but sneered when he heard the words, he took two steps forward, stood in front of Qian Min, and said in a somewhat inexplicable tone: "Master Qian, when did the king explain the evidence?"

"Ok?"

Hearing Mo Zizai's words, Qian Min was a little panicked. He didn't have time to think, and subconsciously opened his mouth to drag the other people on the list, "My lord, besides the old minister, there are more than forty people on this list. An important minister of the court!"

These more than 40 ministers are all qualified to stand on the Golden Luan Hall. If Mo Zizai kills them, the Golden Luan Hall will be half empty immediately.

So Qian Min can only gamble at this moment, he bets that Mo Zizai will not dare to kill all these people, as long as he dare not kill them all, then he will not die if he is tied to them.

"No, there are more than 40 people."

Mo Zizai took the list from Qian Min's hand, and then slowly glanced over the terrified ministers, "You important ministers, none of you have a few confidantes and disciples, you participated, so don't they all stay out of it?" Yet?"

Hearing what Mo Zizai said, there was a moment of silence in the Golden Luan Hall, and then an old minister took off the official hat on his head, and then slowly walked out from the group of ministers, looked at Mo Zizai and said, "My lord wants to ask for help today." Kill me and other ministers, all of you?"

"not all."

Mo Zizai shook the list in his hand, and said nonchalantly, "Everyone on this list must die."

"Ahaha~"

The minister suddenly let out a sad laugh, "Just based on a list that I don't know where I got it, the prince is going to kill us and other loyal old ministers. It seems that the late emperor will not pass on the throne to you. It was the right decision.”

"You are not worthy of the throne!"

Having said that, the minister raised his head to look at Tang Weiyi again, and shouted sharply: "The reason why the former emperor passed on the throne to you was to allow you to follow the example of the two empresses, Chen and Wu, and help the Great Zhou. Now that you are the emperor, you should Take the people of Dazhou as your responsibility, not let him do anything wrong."

"Today, he is not free to act perversely. He wants to punish his ministers and exterminate himself in the world, ruining the 800-year-old society of the Great Zhou. If you let it go, and wait until the death of the Great Zhou and the hands of you two, I will see what face you have. See the late emperor under the Nine Springs!"

After finishing speaking, the minister held the official hat in his arms and bumped towards the pillar in the center of the hall, "My late emperor, the old minister is here to look for you!"

Seeing that the minister wanted to hit the pillar to commit suicide, Qiu Wuping moved slightly, trying to stop him, but Mo Zizai directly raised his hand to stop Qiu Wuping, and said in a cold voice, "Let him hit!"

"Bang~"

There was a muffled noise in the Golden Luan Hall, and the minister's head hit the dragon pillar directly, but I don't know whether it was because the old minister was old and frail, or because his skull was too hard. Under the impact, he didn't directly hit the dragon pillar to death, but just got some blood on his head, and he passed out.
