For several days in a row, in addition to dealing with the official affairs of the palace, Wei Zheng spent time in the backyard.

However, give birth to a prince as early as possible, and train the prince to be a qualified successor during his lifetime...... This is indeed a good way to avoid the powerful ministers.

However, he also has a shortcoming, that is, the cycle is too long, which is obviously not needed for Zhou Shuyuan, who is now more and more power-hungry.

When Wei Zheng said goodbye to Zhang Yan with a satisfied smile on his face, he left the backyard of the palace and just entered the lobby of his office.

Wang Peng, who had a stern face, appeared directly in front of him.

Looking at the thick file in Wang Peng's hand, Wei Zheng didn't need to guess to know that the case of the smuggling group had a result.

Sure enough, before he could speak, Wang Peng sent the file to him, and said: "Lord Wang, the case of the smuggling group has been fully clarified, and all the civil and military officials involved in everything have been arrested and locked up in the barracks ......of the guard division."

"Among all the civil and military officials involved, there are a total of 69 people above the seventh grade, and the largest, and the leader of the entire smuggling group, is Yang Guowei, director of the Royal Department of Agriculture......"

"In the two transactions they completed smoothly, Yang Guowei, in his capacity as the director of the Department of Agriculture, issued passes to the smuggling caravans, and smuggled ...... between the customs and the customs unimpeded."

"In addition, according to the interrogation, during the two consecutive smugglings, [these people sold a total of 3,000 gold tartar muskets, 50,000 catties of gunpowder, and 150,000 catties of various fine iron...... As for other supplies such as sea salt and cloth, I didn't make specific statistics......"

Hear here. The anger on Wei Zheng's face. I don't know what needs to be used to describe it.

The dossier will be held tightly in the hand. After slamming it on the desk in front of him, he scolded loudly: "Muskets, gunpowder, fine iron...... Even these things were sold to the Houjin Tartars. Don't they know that after the Houjin Tartars get these weapons, they can use them to kill and injure our soldiers of the Tiger and Par Army.......

"Bastards, they're all a bunch of people who have forgotten their identity. Bastards who forgot their ancestors......"

"They are not smuggling at all, they are collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country......

After speaking, Wei Zheng had already made a decision, and without thinking about it, he said: "Imperial envoy, let's do what we decided before...... On the day of the public execution, all civil and military officials in Beijing must go to the execution ground to observe the execution. In addition, the crimes of these people were changed to the king, and a collaborator and traitor was added. All property confiscated ......"

Wang Peng was stunned for a moment, and asked with an incredible face......

"Lord Wang. All the civil and military officials in the capital add up to at least four or five hundred...... Isn't the movement too big, and there are not so many people gathered at the entrance of the vegetable market......"

Wei Zheng didn't think about it, so he opened his mouth and affirmed: "What this king wants is a big move......

Subsequently, he continued meaningfully: "In addition to deterring all civil and military officials in the territory. I also want to tell some people that when they do things under the king, they can do what they should do, and they can't touch what they shouldn't do......"

As an old man in the officialdom, in just a moment, Wang Peng understood the implicit meaning of Wei Zheng's words.

There is no doubt that Wang Ye Wei Zheng wants to respond to the rumors in the capital and deter the protagonist of the rumors......

Two days later, the barracks of the Guards Division could be described as full of people.

In addition to the tens of thousands of civilians who were allowed to enter the barracks, hundreds of civil and military officials were all arranged in the stands.

Hundreds of civil and military officials, some with solemn expressions, some with worried faces, some with relieved faces, and of course some people with the idea of watching a play.

Among all of them, the one with the most gloomy expression is, undoubtedly, Zhou Shuyuan, who is sitting on the podium.

He went to the palace to persuade Wei Zheng, even if he didn't succeed, in Zhou Shuyuan's thoughts, Wei Zheng would try to consider his own feelings. After all, these officials who are about to be killed are all members of their own faction, which can already be called an open secret in the Haw Par Army. Zhou Shuyuan is sure that Wei Zheng must know this.

However, what Zhou Shuyuan didn't expect was.

Wei Zheng not only did not take into account his own feelings, but intensified.

Not to mention the public execution of these people, hundreds of civil and military officials in Beijing were also allowed to watch the execution......

Could it be that the prince is really taking revenge on himself, using this method of openly suppressing himself to respond to the fact that Beijing City has completely spread that he once bumped into him in the palace......

At this moment, although Zhou Shuyuan was sitting on a stool, he was sitting on pins and needles.

Because, from the moment I sat down to this act, I kept having a pair of eyes, sweeping back and forth towards myself.

Although he didn't see these eyes from behind clearly, he could clearly feel that these eyes were full of ridicule for himself.

Under the Tiger and Leopard Army, he is above 10,000 people, and because of his confrontation with the prince, he is no longer a newcomer to the prince. and in front of all the civil and military officials in Beijing, he was slapped in the face by the prince in public......

With the arrival of Wang Yewei's expedition, dozens of civil and military officials who had been imprisoned in the barracks of the guard division for ten days finally walked out of the barracks and appeared in the sun.

However, the warmth brought to them by the sun did not make them happy for long.

The makeshift execution platform, which was temporarily placed in the middle of the barracks, made it very clear to them the end they were about to face.

Because there were too many officials who needed to be executed, only ten people went up in the first round, and they were still ten people with the highest official positions.

When the crimes they committed and the ending were announced by Wang Peng. These old men, who claimed to be heroes of the Tiger and Leopard Army, panicked directly.

knelt on the execution platform and begged for mercy loudly in front of the guards dozens of paces away......

"Lord Wang, we know that we are wrong, and we don't dare anymore! Spare us...... We are all heroes of the Haw Par Army, you can't ...... us like this, my lord."

Regarding these begs for mercy, Wei Zheng did not say a word from beginning to end.

Seeing that Wei Zheng didn't react, these people then shifted their hope to Zhou Shuyuan, and shouted loudly regardless of the occasion......

"Strategist, you are the only one who can save us now...... As long as you plead with the prince, the prince will definitely listen to you......"

"Strategist, save us, we're all your people...... Without us, the strength of the faction will definitely be lost......"

Seeing that these people were talking more and more excessively, and even after the prince heard his own words, Zhou Shuyuan's already gloomy face became even more gloomy at this moment.

When he looked at Wei Zheng beside him very carefully, Wei Zheng's face showed a sneer that made him shudder......

As an old man who is very familiar with Wei Zheng, Zhou Shuyuan knows very well that whenever Wei Zheng shows this kind of expression on his face, someone must be worried about Wei Zheng and attacked and retaliated against by Wei Zheng...... (To be continued......) R1292
