The king behind the empress

Chapter 44
Mo Zizai's words were undoubtedly pointed at the noses of the ministers, but all the ministers seemed to have not heard it. They dared to be angry but dared not speak out, because those who dared to speak out had already been chopped off by Mo Zizai.

And the most important thing is that from the moment Mo Zizai violently killed until now, the empress sitting on the throne is like a puppet, not saying a word.

Seeing this situation, how can the officials not understand that this is either the empress is behind the scenes and pushed Mo Zizai out as a saber, or the empress and Mo Zizai conspired to do it.

But no matter what the situation is, it shows that the empress is now on Mo Zizai's side, and Mo Zizai's murder must have been allowed by the empress.

In Qian Min's mind, Minister of the Household Department, Mo Zizai was undoubtedly bewitched by the empress to become a swordsman. Otherwise, why would the son of the late emperor come out to be the executioner who is destined to be full of infamy.

Thinking of this, Qian Min felt a little bitter in his heart. He never thought that this inconspicuous empress could be so clever. After spending only a few days with Mo Zizai, he could make Mo Zizai willing to be a swordsman.

Originally, I thought that letting the empress steal the chickens would save me a lot of money, but I didn't expect that the chicken coops would be taken away.

When the court hall fell into silence, Chen Ying returned to the Xuanzheng Hall with boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.

When he first stepped into the Xuanzheng Palace, Chen Ying, who had just returned from raiding his home, didn't pay attention and stepped into a pool of blood, which shocked him a lot.

"Where did the blood come from on the Golden Luan Hall?"

As soon as this question arose in Chen Ying's mind, he saw the headless corpses all over the ground, and shuddered suddenly, "There is a killing spree in the Golden Luan Hall, who is so bold..."

As soon as he thought of this, the figure of his prince entering the palace with a sword appeared in Chen Ying's mind. It seems that in this Golden Palace, apart from the Yulin Army, only his prince carries a sword?

So, these people were killed by the prince?
Thinking of Mo Zizai's daring to kill the minister directly on the Golden Luan Hall, Chen Ying's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly felt that he was lucky to survive before.

Chen Ying, who was stepping on the blood carefully, looked at this uncomfortable look full of awe, "My lord, Mr. Hu's property has been counted."

"Among them, the total amount of gold and silver is about 700 million taels. For artifacts such as jewelry and antiques, due to lack of time, the servants only made a rough count, and at least they can be converted into 300 million taels of cash."

"In addition, there are a large number of house deeds and land deeds. The servants have not yet verified them, but they should not be lower than the value of jewelry and antiques."

After listening to the figures reported by Chen Ying, all the ministers present looked at Hu Xiaosheng with shocked eyes, as if they were shocked by the astronomical figure of Hu Xiaosheng's embezzlement.

As for whether it was real shock or fake shock, no one knows. Anyway, these old fritters in the officialdom have excellent acting skills. You can see from their faces that they are shocked to the point of disbelief, as if they never thought of it. Hu Xiaosheng seems to be able to embezzle so much.

For this number, Mo Zizai, who had expected it for a long time, was not too surprised. He looked at Chen Ying's blood-soaked sleeves and frowned slightly, "Someone resisted?"

"Yes, my lord."

Chen Ying cupped his hands and replied: "When the servants went to count Lord Hu's property, there were several guest officials in Master Hu's house who stopped the servants from entering. The servants had no choice but to do it by force."

"It's just that those Keqings are not weak. In order to take them down, the East Factory Guard lost a few people, and even the servants were slightly injured."

"How many people were lost?" Hearing how many people died in Dongchang, Mo Zizai's face became a little gloomy, "Before you went to handle the case, did you reveal your identities?"

"Naturally, it was revealed." Chen Ying quickly replied: "Not only did the servants tell them that we are under Yuzhi Sidong Factory, but they also showed them the token, but they still did it."

"Knowing that you are Yu Zhisi's people, you still dare to do something, it's really lawless."

Mo Zizai's words were somewhat cold, "Yu Zhisi is His Majesty's Zhili institution, if you dare to take action against Yu Zhisi, it is despising the imperial power, and despising the imperial power is tantamount to rebellion."

"On Saturday, find out the identities of those who started the attack, and behead the whole family!"

The ministers who knew that Mo Zizai was killing chickens to scare monkeys, but none of them dared to speak. Mo Zizai is obviously killing crazy now. He beheaded more than a dozen ministers at that time, and he was always copying and beheading. Everyone in the court was in danger. In Zhou's 800-year history, he has never seen such a cruel person.

Mo Zizai glanced at the silent ministers, and looked away with some satisfaction. They guessed right, Mo Zizai was trying to scare the chickens to scare the monkeys.

He just wants to establish a kind of authority, let everyone know that the Yuzhijian belongs to the emperor, and the order of the Yuzhijian is the order of the emperor. If he dares to obstruct the Yuzhijian's handling of the case, he must be prepared to copy and kill the whole family.

As for the notoriety of the Yuzhijian Association, he doesn't care at all, what he wants is notoriety, what he wants is for the world to hear the three Yuzhijian, and feel fear from the heart.

After waving Chen Ying to leave, Mo Zizai opened several boxes he carried, each box was full of gold bars, and this was obviously only a part, otherwise all the more than 700 million taels of silver were brought in, I am afraid Xuanzheng The temple will be covered to the brim.

"700 million taels of silver, 300 million pieces of jewelry and antiques, and a large number of deeds of land."

Mo Zizai walked slowly in front of Hu Xiaosheng, shook his head and said: "Master Hu, your family property is really rich, more than 1000 million taels, fully worth a quarter of my annual tax revenue in Dazhou. "

"It seems that the king said that you are sending beggars with 200 taels. This is really true. Compared with 1000 million taels, 200 taels is not enough to even send beggars."

Looking at Hu Xiaosheng, who looked a bit disheartened, Mo Zizai asked, "Is there anything Mr. Hu wants to say now? For example, explain the origin of the money?"

"Hohohoho~"

Hu Xiaosheng was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed wildly. After laughing for a long time, his expression gradually recovered, "This is the end of the matter, there is nothing left to explain."

"The money was embezzled by me. I worked so hard to get to the position of servant of the household department, isn't it just for the money? If that's the case, why don't I accept money from people?"

Hu Xiaosheng, who knew he was going to die, didn't have any fear in his heart. He looked at Mo Zizai with mocking eyes, "Do you think you can save Da Zhou by killing me? Do you think you can get rich by copying my family's treasury?" ?"

"Sorry to interrupt."

Although Mo Zizai felt that it was inhumane to interrupt a dying person's complaints, he still couldn't help but interrupted: "I'm not sure if killing you can save Da Zhou, but it's true that you will be rich if you steal your home treasury." .”

"Although it is not particularly rich, it should be no problem to deal with the current situation temporarily."

"So your house was stolen, and the treasury is indeed rich, and it's the kind of overnight riches."
