The Imperial Palace, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

Tang Tingbai sat on a mahogany chair, his face a little ugly.

He didn't expect that this Qin Hui would be so bold and dare to threaten the imperial court officials, and at least dozens of them!

That's dozens of them.

"Your Majesty, you are angry, shall we arrest Qin Hui?" Li Yuanfang asked cautiously.

"Arrest, arrest immediately, I want to see how many officials are involved in the case this time, I haven't killed anyone during this time, do you think I have changed my temper?" Tang Tingbai's voice was cold.

Li Yuanfang nodded, and took out a bamboo tube and fire fold from his arms.

He walked outside and lit the bamboo tube directly.

Bang –

With a loud bang, a red flare has risen into the air.

Li Yuanfang returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates also investigated Qin Hui in private, it doesn't matter if I investigate, this Qin Hui is really a character."

Oh?

Tang Tingbai's face had already regained his calm: "Tell me in detail!" ”

"Qin Hui was born in a poor family, his family was very poor, and before he was admitted to Xiucai, he relied on the help of the people in the village to survive."

"In the past six months, Qin Hui has been on the rise, and he actually began to repay the villagers and arranged for the young people in their village to be officials, although they are not big officials, but they are also some county officials from the eighth grade and the ninth grade."

"As for the old people and women in the village, he also arranged some fat errands to lead the court."

"Even ...... Even the old dog in the village was arranged by Qin Hui to be the official of the county government and ate a piece of imperial food. ”

What?

Hearing this, Tang Tingbai's face became gloomy again.

Qin Hui, the grandson, is really good at being a man.

Take the official position and money of the imperial court to do his favor.

"Anything else?" Tang Tingbai's face was cold, and his voice was full of murderous intent.

"Even Qin Hui's shovels and hoes in their village have been sold to the military department, and they are purchased at the highest price of weapons!" Li Yuanfang shrunk his neck.

Boom –

The murderous aura on Tang Tingbai's body was released, and the air around him decreased a lot.

He stood up: "This Qin Hui is good, it's really good, Xue Dayan's wool is really not soft at all." ”

……

Qin Mansion.

Qin Hui was sitting in the living room, drinking tea leisurely.

But at this moment, there was a sudden loud bang at the gate.

Immediately after, the gate shattered.

Countless brocade-clothed guards rushed in, murderous.

Jinyi Weibei Town, Fu Si, Zhen Fu envoy, Shen Quan rushed in with an embroidered spring knife and murderously.

Immediately after, he was followed by two thousand equally murderous brocade guards.

Shen Quan's face was cold: "Qin Hui, you have violated the law of Dayan, and this town envoy will be arrested by order, so you can be arrested!" ”

What?

Ordered to be arrested??

Hearing this, Qin Hui's face changed.

Could it be that the matter has been revealed?

Qin Hui didn't speak, his big hand pressed directly on a button on the table.

Immediately afterwards, a secret door popped up on the wall behind Qin Hui.

Qin Hui turned around and ran into the secret door.

At the same time, the Qin family's guards roared in unison and rushed towards the Jinyi Guard.

They want to create time for their adults to escape.

Shen Quan's face was gloomy: "Kill, don't leave one!" ”

As he spoke, Shen Quan rushed to the hall in two arrows and went directly into the secret room.

……

Two hours later, the Jinyi guard was imprisoned.

Qin Hui was tied to the pillar by the five flowers, and he was a little embarrassed.

Tang Tingbai sat opposite Qin Hui, his face calm: "Qin Hui, did you say it yourself, or did I torture you?" ”

I......

Qin Hui's face was ugly.

After a long time, he sighed: "What does the emperor want to ask, the ministers all say, I just ask the emperor to give the ministers a good time." ”

Qin Hui is a smart man, he knows that since the matter has been revealed, Tang Tingbai, a tyrant, will never let him go.

Rather than die, he was tortured to death in the end.

It's better to ask what to say, and it is more comfortable to die.

Tang Tingbai glanced at Qin Hui appreciatively: "What I want to ask is very simple, how many officials are there who have been threatened and controlled by you?" Where is the roster? ”

In fact, after Jin Yiwei caught Qin Hui.

directly copied the Qin family, in addition to finding millions of taels of silver, he also found a lot of precious calligraphy and paintings, as well as Qin Hui's correspondence with some officials.

But I just didn't find the roster.

This......

Qin Hui hesitated.

He knew that if he handed over the roster, he would die.

But if you don't pay it, you can't live.

In short, whether he pays or not, he Qin Hui will not escape death.

Since it's all a death, why don't you pull more backs?

Thinking of this, Qin Hui looked at Tang Tingbai: "Your Majesty, if the minister says it, can you give the minister a good time?" ”

Tang listened to Bai Leng snort and directly smashed his fist on Qin Hui's lower abdomen.

Bang –

There was a muffled sound.

Qin Hui snorted twice, his face ugly.

"Do you think you're qualified to negotiate terms with me?" Tang Tingbai's voice was cold, he no longer paid attention to Qin Hui, but looked at Li Hu, the host of the twelve departments of Jinyiwei: "Li Hu, I heard that you have several punishments for pressing the bottom of the box, I want to see it today!" ”

Hearing this, Li Hu's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously licked his lips: "Your Majesty, don't worry, today's subordinates will take out the things at the bottom of the box." ”

As he spoke, Li Hu took out a small wooden box from behind him: "Your Majesty, the first punishment of your subordinates is called charcoal grilled skewer intestines." ”

Li Hu walked to Qin Hui's side with a smile and ripped off Qin Hui's pants.

In an instant, Qin Hui felt a chill.

Li Hu was still smiling, but his smile was like a devil from the Nine Shadows.

Li Hu picked up a bamboo skewer, which was covered with chili water and barbs.

"Hehe, Qin Hui, before the Taibao is executed, he will tell the prisoner what the Taibao will do next, and you are no exception."

"First of all, this skewer will pierce into that eye, which is very comfortable."

"Then take some charcoal, don't cut it, just bake it on the charcoal, during which the Taipo will put some pepper, cumin grains, chili noodles and other seasonings until it is cooked, which is very delicious."

"This process is extremely painful, and Ben Taipo is looking forward to it, and it is about to begin!"

As he spoke, Li Hu was about to do it.

At this moment, Qin Hui's face was already pale with fright, his whole body trembled unconsciously, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans kept falling to the ground.

"Don't ...... Don't, I said, I said it can't be done yet? ”

"That roster is in front of the statue in the Xuanzheng Hall Square of the Imperial Palace, under the third stone brick!"

After speaking, Qin Hui was already soaked in cold sweat and gasped for breath.

What???

Hearing this, Tang Tingbai and Li Yuanfang's eyes widened.

He didn't expect that Qin Hui would hide the roster in the palace.

Who would have thought of that?

I have to say, Qin Hui's brain is okay.

"Yuan Fang, you personally take someone to the palace to look for it." Tang Tingbai said lightly.

"The subordinates will go immediately." Li Yuanfang nodded and left with Shen Quan.

Tang Tingbai looked at Qin Hui with some curiosity: "Why did you hide the roster in the palace, aren't you afraid of being discovered?" ”

Qin Hui's face turned pale, and he hurriedly shook his head: "No, the most dangerous place is the safest place, those officials who were threatened by me all want to kill me, they all want to find the roster, only hiding in the palace is the safest, and it is also unthinkable to everyone." ”

Tang Tingbai nodded, Qin Hui's words made some sense.

"Your Majesty, are you still tortured?" Li Hu held a bamboo skewer full of barbs and asked expectantly.

"No need, I'm the Great Yan Emperor, I have to talk!" Tang Tingbai smiled.

Li Hu nodded and did not speak, but his face was full of regret.

Half an hour later, Li Yuanfang came back in a hurry, holding a thick blue-skinned roster in his hand.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates rushed back when they got the roster, and they didn't dare to read the contents." Li Yuanfang smiled embarrassedly.

As the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he is an absolutely intelligent man who knows what to do and what not to do.

Tang Tingbai nodded, took the roster and turned the first page.

Xiong Jiuhai, a native of Huxing County, Jiangnan Prefecture, was the inspector of the Metropolitan Procuratorate from the Five Grades, embezzled 1.6 million taels of silver, and annexed more than 100,000 mu of land at the same time.

Zhao Benlong, a native of Caoli County, Shandong Prefecture, is in the middle of the five-grade rule of the Kyoto Yamen, a rare clear stream, but his only son is arrogant and domineering, killing civilians, and Zhao helps him hide it.

Tian Xianxian, a native of Heyun County, Hedong Prefecture, Jiuqing Yamen is a fourth-grade Shaoqing, and the children of the family committed crimes and shielded them.

Qian Xianyi, Jiang Mingwu, Zheng Wei, Meng Lingyu......

Two hours later, Tang Tingbai finally finished reading this thick roster.

He didn't expect that Dayan's officialdom would be like this.

The illegal deeds of more than 600 officials are recorded here.

This is still what Qin Hui knows, isn't there more that those who don't know?

Among these people are the princes who have abdicated, and there are also the members of the imperial court who have returned to their hometowns.

There are also officials of the three major forces.

Although the East China Sea has been destroyed, most of the officials did not die, but switched to Nanshan and West Lake.

There are many in the court, but there are even more in the local area.

Jiangnan Prefecture, Shandong Prefecture, Hedong Prefecture, Longyou Prefecture, Kyoto Prefecture, and Goryeo Prefecture are the most involved in the case.

The rest of those are more or less available as well.

More than 600 officials, did they all kill?

Tang Tingbai's face was cold, and his killing intent was pervasive.

He threw the roster in his hand to Li Yuanfang: "Yuanfang, what do you think?" ”
