When he heard Qin Ming ask him to report his money, Liu Bu's political envoy and all the officials present instantly understood the reason for today's incident.

In an instant, the backs of all the officials were soaked in cold sweat.

Political envoy Liu Bu's face turned pale, and he realized that the moment he promised to pay a fine of 100,000 taels last night was over.

At this moment, he bowed fiercely to the ground, and shouted in his mouth: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty......"

All the officials bowed down together: "Your Majesty, the ministers are guilty......"

Qin Ming sneered: "Guilty? It's quite honest, what, do you think that the imperial capital is far away from you, and I can't control your every move, right? ”

The officials were trembling, scared to death at the moment.

Originally, the matter of corruption was investigated strictly, but after Qin Ming became the emperor, he took the imperial capital as the center, and the dark web cooperated with the criminal department and the ministry of officials, and has been investigating and supervising officials across the country in a diffusion way.

said that the situation is much better, but in this Nanjiang Province, corruption is still there.

"I have issued all kinds of orders, but I didn't expect that I still can't control you people, you really don't take me seriously!" Qin Ming shouted angrily.

The officials all kowtowed, and then listened to Liu Bu's political envoy say: "Your Majesty, after you vigorously investigate and punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials, the ministers will never dare to be corrupt." But the ministers do not deny that there was indeed corruption in the past, please punish Your Majesty! ”

How else can you say that Liu Bu's political envoy is still smart? From last night, his attitude of admitting his mistake was to be leveraged.

Up to now, when there is a problem, he first admits his mistake.

He deeply knew that since some things were known by Qin Ming, he couldn't hide them.

And don't deny it, don't justify it, especially if they are guilty of such a real hammer, and to justify it is death.

At this moment, the officials behind him also begged for mercy, and did not admit their guilt, but also did not deny the justification.

Qin Ming said with a calm face: "General Zhu, send people to search the homes of these officials immediately, all the silver taels will be found, but if it is found that the silver taels exceed the amount they should have as officials, they will be dealt with one by one in accordance with the laws of our dynasty, and if it is serious, they will be killed directly!" ”

"Yes!"

General Zhu let out a loud sigh, and then led the soldiers out, while Qin Ming also got up and left the lobby.

None of these officials dared to move, waiting in fear.

General Zhu's subordinates led their troops to the homes of the adults to search for the silver taels.

First of all, the officials who lived close to the political envoy department kept coming back to report on the situation of the silver taels in their homes.

Among them, there was a family that embezzled 100,000 taels of silver, which had reached the point of capital crime, and General Zhu did not hesitate and directly ordered.

The officer was immediately dragged down and executed.

Officials were dragged out, and their names and punishments were announced.

It can be said that this day is the most difficult day for these officials.

Until the afternoon, most of the officials were punished, and at this time, General Zhu went to Qin Ming's house, found Qin Ming, and said:

"Your Majesty, now, there are only a few people left, including the political envoy and the commander of the capital, as well as the envoy of the inspection, and they have not yet been disposed of!"

Qin Ming nodded slightly: "How much silver did they find in their family?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the silver plus gold and silver tickets, and all kinds of gold, silver, and jewels, are worth a ...... More than one million taels of silver......" General Zhu replied a little cautiously, after all, this money is too much.

Qin Ming frowned and said, "What about the others!" ”

"The family of the commander is about 700,000 taels, the family of the right political envoy is about 900,000 taels, and the family of the envoy is also more than 700,000 taels." General Zhu himself felt that this number was too shocking.

Qin Ming took a deep breath and said lightly: "Kill!" ”

"Yes......"

General Zhu felt the strong momentum oppression, and also felt a lot of pressure, after exiting the house, he wiped his sweat and hurried to do it.

In a word, the four feudal officials of Nanjiang Province are gone, and more than a dozen officials have died.

This is the majesty of the emperor......

And this matter also spread immediately, and millions of people in the huge Zhili County soon knew that the emperor had come to their Nanjiang and killed many corrupt officials.

This incident made the people very relieved, and it was obvious that they also hated corrupt officials the most.

Now that he has been punished, he is naturally very happy.

Qin Ming's mood is also better, no matter what, this trip, after all, there are no hundred.

And the nearly five million taels of silver confiscated, he also put it together with the 100 million taels in the southern country, and prepared to take it with him when he set off to return to the imperial capital tomorrow.

That night, Qin Ming was still living as a political envoy, and now there were no more chief officials in Nanjiang, so Qin Ming temporarily appointed General Zhu to replace Yiying's position, and waited for the imperial court officials to send suitable officials to take over.

This night, there was still no word.

Early the next morning, as soon as Qin Ming got up, outside, General Zhu spoke softly:

"Your Majesty?"

"What?" Qin Ming asked.

General Zhu said: "Marshal Long has also brought it back!" ”

When Qin Ming heard this, he got dressed, and when he came out, he saw Marshal Long and Xue Rengui standing outside.

"Your Majesty!" The two cried.

Qin Ming smiled: "Nanguo urged you to leave?" ”

"Yes, I received the document from Nanguo the next night, written by the emperor of Nanguo, which probably means that we received the money and left quickly, they are really afraid!" Marshal Long laughed.

Qin Ming nodded: "Okay, then take the army, follow me and set off to return to the imperial capital!" ”

"Yes!" Marshal Long bowed.

At the same time, Qin Ming looked at General Zhu and said, "This time, General Zhu and his subordinates have made meritorious contributions to the enemy, and when I return to the imperial capital, I will discuss the reward for meritorious deeds, wait, just wait!" ”

General Zhu hurriedly knelt down: "Minister, thank you Lord Longen......"

On the side, Zhu Linglong also knelt down, but she couldn't help but look up at Qin Ming.

Qin Ming also looked at Zhu Linglong, and then smiled: "Linglong, it's really the emperor, I'm afraid, you're very disappointed, right?" Unfortunately, it can't be changed. ”

"Your Majesty, Linglong is not disappointed, I am very happy, because Linglong really didn't see the wrong person." Zhu Linglong said.

Qin Ming sighed and said, "In the future, I will see it more accurately, okay, I, I won't waste any more time here, and then I will set off, and the class teacher will return to the court!" ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, long live long live...... General Zhu shouted, Zhu Linglong also kowtowed, two tears, after all, he couldn't help falling.

When she knew that Qin Ming was the emperor, she knew that her illusions were shattered......

Qin Ming took a deep breath again, turned away, and left here with Marshal Long and the others......

He naturally knew that Zhu Linglong was interested in him, but he already had a sweetheart.

Now, the person in his heart is still taking his place in the palace and sharing his worries, how can he live up to her?

It was at this time that in the palace, the little princess was going up early, listening to the news that the army was about to return.

She also breathed a heavy sigh of relief, Qin Ming, are you finally coming back......
