Chapter 160: Threat
Li Chunfeng has long seen the strangeness of this matter, it stands to reason that the bottom of the gold and silver embezzled by this dog official should have the mark of Taizhou Island, but only a small part of these gold and silver have a mark, and most of the others are not, as if they have been melted and reforged, and some of them are silver taels from the Zhongzhou Empire.
He has been in the Zhongzhou Empire for so long and has never heard of any connection with Taizhou Island, so where did all this gold and silver come from? Li Chunfeng understood after a little thought, this money was obviously sent by someone else, and this person must be from the Mingyue Sect.
The Mingyue Sect and the Dawan Kingdom are clearly brothers, and in so many years of war, the Dawan Kingdom has robbed the Zhongzhou Empire of a lot of gold and silver, so it is not surprising that these silver taels appear here.
After listening to Li Chunfeng's explanation, the official still had a hard beak and refused to admit it, "You mean to say that I have colluded with the Mingyue Sect and the Great Wan Kingdom, aren't you joking?" ”
Li Chunfeng sneered, "Then where do you explain where the money comes from?" ”
The official thought for a while, and then came up with a reason for the quibble, "I, I got it from doing business with the Zhongzhou Empire, aren't you happy?" ”
Jing Feiyu said: "You dog official can't lie, can you keep the records of the ferry departure in the palace over the years, but I have never seen you have any business dealings with the Zhongzhou Empire." ”
The official still wanted to explain something, but Li Chunfeng didn't give him a chance to explain, and immediately blocked his acupoint, and then said to his companions beside him: "Xiao Yuzi, you guard them here first, and the three of us go to the homes of those officials to check whether they have colluded with the Mingyue Sect and the Great Wan Kingdom." ”
After a night of investigation, Li Chunfeng and the others basically figured out the situation in the homes of the other three officials, only one of the old officials had no connection with the Mingyue Sect, and the others had inexplicable relationships with others.
The reason why this old official will oppose Xixi as the queen of Taizhou is not because of his decadent thoughts, he has always thought that women do not have men's ambitions and vision, and handing over Taizhou Island to Xixi is self-destructive future, but fortunately, he is old and will resign and go home in a short time, so Li Chunfeng and the others did not embarrass him.
After Li Chunfeng asked the other three partners to guard the three officials, he hurried to the palace in a hurry, and woke up Baiyu, she was very angry when she learned about it, first reported the matter to Xixi, and then sent troops to surround the mansion of the three officials, under the leadership of Li Chunfeng and several people, successfully seized the evidence of these officials' fornication with Mingyuejiao and Dawanguo, and did not have time to burn more than a dozen secret letters, as well as nearly six million taels of gold, silver and jewelry, so much money, enough to catch up with their Taizhou Island tax for a year.
In the morning after dawn, the ministers entered the hall in order, and after bowing according to the rules, they found Cissy staring at them angrily, and these ministers were also at a loss, what happened to the queen and the prime minister, it was not the same as usual.
Xixi slowly stood up and rebuked the group of ministers: "I know that you don't accept my woman as your queen, even if you have complaints, why would you do such a detrimental thing to the country?" ”
Hearing this, the ministers were even more confused, where did the queen say? Only then did they realize that there were actually three people missing from the team, it was Lord Chu and them, could it be that these three adults did something that made Her Majesty unhappy?
Baiyu shouted outside, "Bring them up!" ”
I saw that the three people who were escorted in from outside the main hall were the three people of Lord Chu in the mouths of the ministers, followed by the four people of Shangshu and Li Chunfeng of the Criminal Department, and the hundred large boxes that were carried in, each of which weighed more than 300 catties, and it took four stout men to carry it.
When the officials saw this, they instantly understood in their hearts that these three guys had obviously embezzled huge sums of money and colluded with outsiders to get to the situation they are in today.
Xixi asked people to open these boxes, and the silver appeared in front of everyone, even if the people present were all big officials who had seen the world, and when they saw so much money, they were a little uncontrollable.
Later, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department listed the crimes of these people, namely embezzlement of money and collusion with the Mingyue Sect and Dawan Kingdom.
After hearing this, the officials sighed, of course, some people did not believe it, when the evidence was put in front of them, these people immediately turned against each other, saying that these three people are wolf ambitions, and His Majesty treats you well, why would they do such a thing, it is really chilling.
Li Chunfeng and the four of them rolled their eyes when they heard this, these guys also changed too quickly, and they looked the same for a while, which was shockingly disgusting.
After Xixi sighed, he let the criminal department Shangshu announce the results of the punishment of the three people, the three of them embezzled silver and two, colluded with foreign countries to plot against Taizhou, and should have been executed by Ling Chi, but they had been officials for many years, and they had no merit and hard work, so they were beheaded and immediately decapitated, and their families were reduced to commoners, and they were never allowed to go to the court as officials.
After hearing that they were inevitably dead, the three behaved differently, some were directly paralyzed to the ground in fright, and some were blank, as if they had accepted their fate, and the Lord Chu stood up and scolded Xixi, "You girl who has not grown all her hair, what qualifications do you have to kill Lao Tzu, if you really kill me, Mingyue Sect will definitely not let you go, and then your girl will definitely become their crotch." ”
As soon as such pickled words came out, they immediately led to a burst of scolding from the officials present, what was ugly and what was scolding.
Before Xixi got angry, Li Chunfeng and the four of them couldn't bear it, and ran to the side of the surnamed Chu, and punched and kicked him, beating him and wailing constantly, Li Chunfeng wanted to pinch him to death, but this was too cheap, so he forcibly fed him a poison, which hurt him all over, and his body was as painful as tens of thousands of ants gnawing, and after about half an hour, he bled to death.
The fat man and the old cow couldn't help but kick the corpse twice, and the former scolded even more: "I don't know whether you live or die, if you dare to say that, we will definitely make you miserable." ”
The civil officials present had never seen such a situation, and they were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and some fainted directly.
After taking the remaining two people and the corpse down, Li Chunfeng warned the officials present: "You also pay attention to Lao Tzu, in our eyes, Xixi is not the queen, but my little nephew, if we find that you are disrespectful to her, this person will be your fate." ”
A civil official said with some disbelief: "Who do you think you are?" To be able to say such big things. ”
Jing Feiyu came to the official in a flash, and stepped forward with a slap, which directly knocked blood out of his face.
Li Chunfeng pointed to the beaten official and said, "We are not only the elders of the Feng Wuya Sect, but we also have multiple identities. Then he pointed to the fat man and said, "This is the youngest son of the king of the northwest." He pointed at Jing Feiyu and Lao Niu and said, "One of the two of them is the young pavilion master of Jingyun Pavilion, and the other is the head of Tianxuan Sect. Li Chunfeng pointed to himself and said: "And I, the grandson of King Mu, the head of Qingyou Valley, the concubine of the Zhongzhou Empire and the crown prince, do you think we are qualified to say such big things." ”
Li Chunfeng said this not to show anything, but to support Xixi.
The officials present are all people who have seen the world, unlike the people here who have never seen the world, so they naturally know the strength of Tianyun Country and the things outside.
The scene suddenly became very silent, if what the kid in front of him said was true, then their identity was too terrifying.
Lao Niu said: "If we hear that you dare to bully Xixi, we will not be able to spare you." ”
Xixi sat on the dragon chair, forcibly holding back her tears and not shedding tears, today is the happiest day since she sat on the dragon chair, with so many relatives and partners behind her to support herself, what else is she afraid of?
The old man who opposed Xixi stood up here and reprimanded Li Chunfeng and the others: "You bullshit boys, you are not from Taizhou, you have no right to meddle in the affairs here, and you openly beat the court officials above the court, it is too unruly, right!?" This is a punishment. ”
For this kind of pedantic old man, it is not feasible to reason with him, you must be even more unreasonable with him, this kind of thing fat man is the best, he pointed to the old man's nose and scolded, "You old immortal, don't rely on the old and sell the old here, your teeth are about to fall out, there is only a tongue left to talk nonsense, you hurry up and go home to retire!" ”
"You...... You. This almost brought out the old man's illness, but it took a long time to ease his breath and salute Xixi, "Your Majesty, these boys are so presumptuous here, you should punish them." ”
Although Xixi didn't like this old man, what he said represented the opinions of civil and military officials, and she couldn't say that everyone was offended, so she had to be a peacemaker, "Okay, everyone don't quarrel about it, and I don't want to punish anyone for this, so that's it." ”
Obviously, Xixi is a few people who are paralyzed from the outside of Li Chunfeng, the old man is a little unhappy, and just wanted to say something again, Li Chunfeng took the lead in speaking: "Old man, don't get an inch here, how did you oppose Xixi in the first place, how did you start asking for help again this time, it's really fucking shameless." ”
The old man who was angry directly at these words turned his back on his anger, but fortunately, Xixi announced that the imperial doctor entered the palace in time, which saved the old man's life.
Li Chunfeng said to the hundred officials: "We are originally people from the rivers and lakes, we don't have so much bullshit, the only thing we believe in is the three-foot long sword in our hands, you keep our words today in mind, otherwise you will have good fruits to eat." He then left the hall with a few of his companions.
After they left, the ministers dared to secretly say a few words of complaint.
