Chapter 23: The Little Treasury

The old eunuch continued, "At present, the silver has entered the treasury of the Horse Mansion."

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen's eyelids shook violently several times.

Is that his money?

Although it was scavenged from the Donglin party?

But isn't the money of the Donglin Party mine?

How could he privately put the money belonging to the imperial court into his small treasury?

But after thinking about it, I'm a little too petty, right?

The son-in-law just made 30,000 taels to let himself be so out of shape?

No, it seems that Mount Tai has nourished his heart and has not yet been raised.

Power should continue to be delegated and the son-in-law should be allowed to concentrate on making money.

When the Donglin Party is almost looted, he will return to Beijing to take power.

Isn't it beautiful??

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen leaned back, continued to lean back on the Taishi chair, closed his eyes and enjoyed the rare rays of sunset on the top of Mount Tai!!

In fact, why doesn't Zhou Xian feel innocent at this moment?

I never expected that Cao Zhengchun, who moved the heavens and the earth and thought that he had become his own person, was actually the eyeliner that Emperor Chongzhen placed beside him.

But that's all for later.

However, it was said that after Zhou Xian listened to the work report of Jinyi Wei Qianhu Di Changgong, he immediately rushed to the Zhenfu Division with him.

Today he will personally supervise the case of Wucheng.

Arrive at the Pacification Division.

The brocade guards knelt down one after another: "Humble to meet Lord Commander-in-Chief."

Zhou Xian waved his hand: "Get up, what about the two sinners?"

"They're all down there, and my lord comes with me."

A moment later, Zhou Xian came to Jinyiwei's underground prison.

At this time, Dou Xiao and Huang Shouren were both hanging.

The members of the Jinyi Guard went in first to drag Huang Shouren out.

At this time, Huang Shouren was already scarred.

A face was covered with bruises.

Qing had a swollen forehead and stared at two large bags.

Jinyiwei is notorious for extorting confessions by torture.

It's all skin injuries and bone injuries, and the person who beats can cry dad and call mother, but it just won't be cold.

Because he is a sin general appointed by the horse master.

Today's trial of the horse master naturally wants to leave him a living mouth.

Therefore, even if Huang Shouren wants to die, there is absolutely no chance of suicide.

And he didn't have the courage to commit suicide.

Otherwise, why would they suffer such flesh and skin?

Jin Yiwei moved a rattan chair for Zhou Xian to lie on with interest.

also intimately soaked Zhou Xian in the big red robe collected in the Yunnan border area.

Huang Shouren drooped his eyelids, and the willpower of the whole person had reached the end of the crossbow.

Therefore, he looked up at Zhou Xian hard, and then his head hung down heavily.

Jin Yiwei's Qianhu Di Changgong handed Huang Shouren's confession to Zhou Xian.

"My lord, this guy only recognizes part of it."

Zhou Xian looked at it, and indeed, Huang Shouren only mentioned in his confession that he was seeking benefits for soldiers who did not have military salaries.

I don't say a word about anything else.

Zhou Xian's sharp gaze was like a blade, staring at the prisoner kneeling in front of him, and asked coldly, "Huang Shouren?"

"Sinner...... Yes." Huang Shouren's voice trembled, and his whole body trembled.

"Are you going to rebel?"

"My lord, the sinners have no such intentions, the sinners are wronged."

However, before he finished speaking, Zhou Xian got up and kicked him to the ground.

Zhou Xian said angrily, "You have no intention of rebelling? No? Where is the salary of the defenders of Wucheng for so many years? You instigated arrogant soldiers and fierce generals to do things on the side of the Xuanfu, isn't this a rebellion?"

"You're so daring!"

When Zhou Xian reprimanded, he grabbed Huang Shouren's collar and started work with his left and right hands.

Clicky slap.

Huang Shouren was stunned by the hammer, and begged vaguely: "Adults are angry, and they are angry......

Zhou Xian's eyes were like a cow, and there was already a strong killing intent hidden in his eyes.

"Huang Shouren!"

"The sinners are here, and the sinners are all at the command of the lord."

"Huh, huh?"

Zhou Xianqi's green tendons burst out.

It's not that he can't get along with this person.

It's that these moths have to get along with the Ming Dynasty.

Originally, they were clean and conscientious to guard the border for the imperial court.

Why did Zhou Xian make a big deal out of him?

But Zhou Xian had to deal with this person.

Because behind him stood a group of people, representing a class.

"It's too late for you to listen to me now, who asked you to make up excuses to defraud the imperial court's military salaries?"

"Who told you to plot a mutiny and get the attention of the court?"

"Xuanfu is the border of the imperial court, how can you be so presumptuous?"

"Besides, has the imperial court ever been short of a salary over the years?"

"No...... Nope."

Huang Shouren hung his head guiltily.

Not to mention, in the past ten years, no matter how poor the court is, no matter how poor the interior is, no matter how much Emperor Chongzhen, who is raising his heart in Mount Tai at the moment, shrinks his clothes and diets.

It is also necessary to pay military salaries to the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty.

And every time it's just a little more.

Especially this year, the horses of the prison country have been directly paid double their remuneration.

This kind of kindness is unique in history.

In history, no imperial court has ever been able to treat the border army like the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that there are too many people who are filling their pockets.

caused the court to spend money and carry the blame.

At any time, the arrogant soldiers and fierce generals of the Nine Sides can do things on the grounds that the court lacks their military salaries.

Why is that?

Isn't it because the imperial court actually issued it.

But didn't the soldiers at the bottom receive it?

Who is the trick in the middle?

Today, Zhou Xian's meaning is extremely obvious.

"My lord, the sinner knows that he is wrong."

"What do you know is wrong?"

"Do you know that Lao Tzu is in charge of the country, and he will give you the Xuanfu intensive preparation of military salaries without eating or drinking, and it is double, and you are the result of such loyal monarchs to serve the country?"

"You black sheep, you brutes."

"Pigs and dogs are not as good, Lao Tzu can't wait to cut you."

The more Zhou Xian spoke, the more angry he became, and he turned around and pulled out the saber from Di Changgong's waist.

According to Huang Shouren's head, it was split.

But Zhou Xian still deliberately deflected the blade and slashed at Huang Shouren's shoulder.

Suddenly there was a scream like killing a pig in the prison.

If it is usual, there will be a lot of "shouting grievances" in the surrounding passages.

But today, the whole prison is surprisingly quiet.

Because they have all heard that it is the boss of the Zhenfu Division who personally handles the case, the chief banner of Jinyiwei!

At this time, Zhou Xian held back his killing intent.

Because he felt that it was a little too comfortable for him to cut off Huang Shouren's head directly.

What's more, Lao Tzu hasn't investigated the case yet.

Zhou Xian suppressed his anger and motioned to Jinyi Wei to hang Huang Shouren again.

Di Changgong comprehended, and while hanging Huang Shouren, he also intimately wrapped a rag in salt and sand to help Huang Shouren bandage the knife edge on his shoulder......

Huang Shouren, who was hoarse and grinning in pain, fainted.

However, with a large basin of ice water, he was greeted by a face.

Soon he woke up!

Huang Shouren took it directly this time.

Although he was a border soldier, he had long heard of Jinyiwei's torture to extract confessions.
