Chapter 65: Decay
Zhao Xu knew that at this time, the officialdom was rotten and people were floating in things, but he never expected that in such a major event, those big people in the court would also be so stupid!
You must know that the war between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia has hardly stopped, basically taking place on Huanqing Road, and since the beginning of this year, the Western Xia has been ready to move, and the ministers of the political hall have dared to delay the military salary on Huanqing Road for so long!
Zhao Xu's face was pale, and he really wanted to pick up the knife and go to the Sansi Yamen now!
Chu You heard it clearly on the sidelines, and his heart was also shocked, involving the 'loss' of millions of military salaries, the imperial court was still unfazed and did not react!
Zhao Xu forcibly suppressed his anger and wanted to calm down, but suddenly raised his head violently, pulled Liang Tao's collar, and said in a deep voice: "I ask you, this matter is just domestic corruption, and nothing else is involved, right?" ”
Liang Tao's face turned pale from being frightened by Zhao Xu's sudden action, but he thought of something like an empowering, and said in a trembling voice: "The ministers don't know. ”
Zhao Xu looked at his expression, he had already guessed it, and pushed him over, his face was hideous as if he wanted to eat people.
Liang Tao knelt on the ground with a pout, shivering, and cold sweat continued to drip on his head.
He thought of it, but he didn't dare to say it!
Seeing this, Chu Yu ordered someone to bring a chair behind Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu's eyes widened angrily, and the anger and hatred in his heart were like a tide, and he immediately closed his eyes tightly and took a deep breath.
After a long time, he slowly sat down in his chair, his eyes gloomy.
He had never been so angry and wanted to kill so much!
This paper bag in my hand is as heavy as a thousand pounds!
Liang Tao didn't dare to speak, knelt on the ground, his face was pale and bloodless, and his whole body trembled violently.
I don't know how long it took, a janissary came over and said, "Qiqi official's house, the tailoring institute has sent clothes." ”
Zhao Xu waved his hand, not even wanting to speak.
The janissary raised his hand, turned around and turned back to the gate of the Funing Palace.
"Official, don't you see me?" Cai You was stunned.
The guard was expressionless and said, "There is a big event in the palace today, and idle people are not allowed to approach." ”
Cai You naturally knows that there are big things, and they are here for big things!
Cai You cautiously raised his hand and said: "This brother, the villain is the son of Bachelor Cai, and Bachelor Cai is the envoy named by the official family. ”
The janissary looked at him, hesitated, and said, "Wait." ”
With that, he went in again.
Zhao Xu was full of anger and irritability, and when he heard that Cai You was coming, he thought about it, pressed the fire and said, "Let him come in." ”
The Praetorian guard went out again, turned around and brought Cai You in.
Cai You looked at the guards standing around, silently slaughtering, couldn't help but tense his body, looked at someone kneeling on the ground, just glanced at it hurriedly, came to Zhao Xu, raised his hand and said, "Villain Cai You, I have seen the official family." ”
Zhao Xu's face was indifferent and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Cai You hurriedly handed the paper bag forward and said, "The villain knows that the official family has seized the Yamen of the Three Divisions, so he is here to complain." ”
Zhao Xu looked at him, reached out to take it, and pulled out the contents of it.
Zhao Xu looked at it, and his eyelids couldn't help jumping all the time, like cramps!
Cai You's content here is not only the 'military salary disappearance case', but also the large and small corruption cases in Kaifeng Mansion since the Shenzong Dynasty, involving hundreds of people, and most of the positions are not low now!
Zhao Xu only estimated the total amount in his heart, which was as high as millions of yuan every year!
This is still visible, but it is in Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo, and if it is to be put in the whole country, I don't know how big this number will be!
Zhao Xu didn't know what the emotion was, his hands trembled, and he slowly put these things back into the paper bag, except for the uncontrollable twitching of his eyelids, there was no expression on his stiff face.
In front of the Funing Palace, there was silence.
Liang Tao knelt on the ground, and wanted to crash to death in fear.
Cai You also noticed that the atmosphere was very wrong, and his eyes flickered constantly with his head down.
It was the first time for Chu You to see Zhao Xu's demeanor like this, and he wanted to persuade him several times, but he couldn't find the words.
At this time, Qin Lu came in from outside, saw this scene, and hurriedly came to Zhao Xu, and whispered in his ear: "Official, Liu Heng and others are surrounded, and the deputy commander of the front division of the palace is present, asking Liu Heng to listen to the fate, release the prime minister and withdraw from the yamen of the three divisions." ”
Zhao Xu closed his eyes, exhaled lightly, opened his eyes, and said, "It's time for a showdown." Liang Tao, wait here. Chu You, take people and go with me. ”
Chu You's expression was fierce, and he said, "Yes." ”
Zhao Xu took two paper bags, suppressed his anger, walked out of the Funing Palace, and went straight to the Yamen of the Third Division.
Cai You watched Zhao Xu leave like this, a little overwhelmed, looked at Liang Tao, who was still kneeling on the ground and did not move, and hesitated to kneel down.
Zhao Xu left the Funing Hall to go to the Sansi Yamen, Chu You immediately transferred people, and a team of heavily armored guards followed behind Zhao Xu.
This movement made the palace even more nervous.
Inside the Cining Temple.
After Empress Dowager Gao found out, her face sank like water, her hands couldn't help but clench together, and her bones and fingers turned white.
Lu Dafang also opened his eyes, and a rare condensation appeared on his old face.
Zhou He stood aside, and his intuition was so cold that his neck was stiff.
What did the official family do when they took people to the Sansi Yamen? Is there really going to be a fight?
Zhou He was too scared, would it really be an unprecedented bloody battle in the palace?
The corners of Su Song's face were thin, and he was resolute at the moment, knocked on his crutches, stood up and said, "Niangniang, I'll go!" I vouch for it with my head, and I will only be killed today! ”
Su Song didn't wait for the Empress Dowager Gao to speak, and left a resolute back for the Empress Dowager Gao, Lu Dafang and others.
Empress Dowager Gao's stiff expression was relieved and she didn't speak.
Lu Dafang sat still, silent.
While they were talking, Zhao Xu had already arrived in front of the Sansi Yamen.
I saw that the Sansi Yamen was surrounded by two layers inside and out, and the two layers of forbidden troops were still facing each other.
Zhao Xu brought Chu You and a group of guards to the front, and everyone looked over, but there were no extra movements, all of them were very vigilant, as if a bloody battle was about to break out.
Zhao Xu stood not far in front of the gate of the Sansi Yamen and saw Liu Heng at the door.
Without waiting for Liu Heng to make a move, a middle-aged man hesitated, turned around, raised his hand and said, "Weichen Zhang Heng is the official family." ”
Zhao Xu glanced at him and said, "The deputy commander in front of the palace? ”
Zhang Heng lowered his head, didn't dare to move, and said, "Yes." ”
Zhao Xu said lightly: "Do you know that I ordered the seizure of the Sansi Yamen? ”
Zhang Heng looked nervous and said stubbornly: "Yes." ”
Zhao Xu's expression was cold, and he said, "I have come in person, what do you mean now?" Are you going to stop me from passing, or are you going to stop me from taking people away? ”
Zhang Heng hurriedly said: "The minister doesn't dare, it's just the queen mother'......"
"Then you give me a knife now!"
Zhao Xu suddenly shouted: "Then you Zhang Heng will be able to soar to the top of the sky, worship the prime minister, and seal the territory!" What are you waiting for! ”
Zhang Heng's eyes widened, he knelt on the ground with a puff, and said urgently: "The minister doesn't dare!" The minister is just a ......"
Zhao Xu didn't wait for him to finish, kicked over, turned the person he kicked on his back, and strode directly past him.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”
Zhang Heng got up from the ground in embarrassment, and seeing that Zhao Xu was about to break through, he hurriedly held his hat with one hand and shouted urgently, and the forbidden army who was cowering and blocking the way got out of the way.
If he really hurt Zhao Xu to the slightest, let alone Zhao Xu, from the Empress Dowager Gao to the civil and military officials, no one would spare him!
Zhao Xu didn't look at them at all, and went directly to the gate of the Sansi Yamen.
Liu Heng stepped forward, greeted Zhao Xu, and said in a low voice as he walked inside: "Everyone has been escorted, the Criminal Department, and Yushitai are checking the accounts, and it seems that nothing has been found." There has been some progress on Chen's father-in-law's side, and it will take time to verify it and make sure that nothing goes wrong......"
Time is too tight, and it is too difficult to get enough human and physical evidence to convict Su Zhe and others in a short period of time!
These are no longer important, Zhao Xu said directly: "Bring Su Zhe out and follow me to Cining Palace." ”
