Chapter 25: The goose plucks its feathers

is so direct, it is simply simple and rude, even more crisp than Shangjiang Lingyue.

There is no nonsense at all, everything that can be saved is saved.

Zuo Qianqiu never dreamed that his dignified five-grade military department squire, who was also a high-ranking provincial official, would be insulted like this.

In the blink of an eye, Zuo Qianqiu was stripped clean, as naked as a white chicken.

"Hey, by the way, take a brush and brush it clean, don't have soil to eat your teeth for a while."

Zhao Yan hurriedly shouted to stop, Nima, is acting good, a group of martial artists are still serious.

Zuo Qianqiu didn't know that Zhao Yan was playing with him.

What do you hear? This is a drink for his dignified five-grade official.

The samurai doesn't care so much, the top boss speaks, and that is to execute.

Several stout men, with their upper bodies naked, each holding a brush in their hands, rubbed hard against Zuo Qianqiu.

Aunt Guo emphasized that he couldn't eat his teeth, Zuo Qianqiu grinned in pain, and the skin on his body was rubbed off.

This is the Xia Ma Wei that Zhao Yan gave him to eat.

Kill the official authority of the squire of the military department first, what about the one in the red robe, when it comes to his Zhao Yan's one-acre and three-point land, you have to look at Zhao Yan's eyes.

Zuo Qianqiu, who was in pain, begged for mercy repeatedly, and his voice was almost hoarse.

But Zhao Yan was unmoved.

Because he didn't want to really cook Zuo Qianqiu, he let him suffer a little first, and then give Zuo Qianqiu a fatal blow when he was almost finished.

At that time, Zuo Qianqiu will think that he is dead, and he can only admit to the fact of embezzling military salaries.

"Aunt Guo, wash it up."

The stout and reckless man replied angrily.

Zhao Yan glanced at the blood in the big basin, and he also had a palpitation.

Emma, this group of people is really ruthless, the dignified soldier is dying.

Seeing that there is only the breath out and there is no air in.

The skin on his body had peeled off, and the bloody flesh was exposed.

"Consume some oil first, fry it, I like the taste of charred on the outside and tender on the inside."

Zhao Yan said emphatically.

Beasts.

Zuo Qianqiu said secretly, with a bitter face, he was really a little overwhelmed.

"Hey, put some salt and drown it first, so it tastes good."

I wiped, poor Zuo Qianqiu was beaten and injured, and a large grain of salt was sprinkled on it, and the stinging soldier howled like a ghost.

didn't care about his identity at all, his eyes were about to pop out, it really hurt.

"The criminals have been recruited, all of them have been recruited, Aunt Guo will give the criminals a good time."

Zuo Qianqiu was tossed to the limit by Zhao Yan both psychologically and physically.

At this time, he was in unbearable pain, just wanting to die quickly, and did not want to continue to be tortured inhumanely.

"Write it down."

Zhao Yan said to the stenographer on the side.

With all of Zuo Qianqiu's confessions, the stenographer also wrote all the incriminating evidence on the evidence.

"Sign and draw."

Zhao Yan smiled with satisfaction.

Attacking Zuo Qianqiu is not to knock on the side to attack the king of the west, he has only one purpose, that is, to collect money.

After all, the empress is also very poor, unless she uses the old capital left by her ancestors.

But that is the capital left by the ancestors to future generations to restore the country, and it must not be touched lightly until the last resort.

The weak Zuo Qianqiu's forehead was covered with sweat, and he was so fragile that he couldn't even speak.

He could only raise his eyelids weakly and glanced at Zhao Yan with a smile on his face.

"Kill the criminal."

The pain did not weaken because of Zuo Qianqiu's confession, but because of the cold water rinsing, it caused him more serious pain.

"No, no, no, 100,000 silver is not enough for Zuo Da's talent."

Zhao Yan smiled evilly.

What's going on, Zuo Qianqiu has always been playing a good official, and it is already careful to be able to deduct so much silver, and there is really no other stolen money.

"Uncle Guo, although the criminal is guilty, there is only this time for corruption, and there is really nothing else."

Zuo Qianqiu was afraid of continuing to suffer, so he just wanted to die quickly, and explained with severe pain.

It's not so much a confession as begging for mercy for Zhao Yan again, so don't torture him as a sinner.

"Take Master Zuo down and find the best imperial doctor to heal, Your Majesty will not let him die, and serve him well."

Zhao Yan didn't say the reason, just let Zuo Qianqiu continue to enjoy the torture brought by the pain.

"Kill the criminal."

Zuo Qianqiu almost roared, and after using up the last bit of strength, he passed out.

"Your Majesty, Yan has fulfilled his mission, and one hundred thousand taels of silver have been obtained from the place where Zuo Qianqiu was hiding."

Zhao Yan returned to the dormitory to find Jiang Lingyue to return to his life.

"In this case, the commander will be sent to the north as soon as possible to appease the army."

Jiang Lingyue's gaze always stayed on the northern frontier of the map, and said worriedly.

A military mutiny is already brewing there.

There has long been rumors that the barbarian tribes on the border of northern Xinjiang are ready to move, and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses are slowly gathering.

Once the barbarians gather strength, I am afraid that the northern frontier will not be protected.

At least in the north, there is another military disaster.

"Your Majesty, Yan thinks that sending 100,000 silver now will not play a role in inspiring the morale of the army, and besides, the important towns in northern Xinjiang have long been out of the control of the imperial court, so it is better for Yan to build a winning army for Your Majesty."

Zhao Yan knew very well why Zuo Qianqiu deducted the military salary in northern Xinjiang, it was nothing more than killing two birds with one stone.

First, Northern Xinjiang and the imperial court have been separated from Germany for many years, and it has already become the private territory of the Northern Xinjiang Jiedu envoy, and Jiang Lingyue is still nominally respected, that is, he sees the military supply, and wants the imperial court to continue to transfuse blood.

Second, by cutting off the supply, he forced the Northern Xinjiang Jiedu to stand on his own, so that the king of Zhengxi would have allies and could destroy the empress's court more easily.

In this way, Zuo Qianqiu fattened himself and gave an explanation to his master, King Zhengxi, but it was the empress Jiang Lingyue who pitted it.

"Do you want to force me to death?"

Jiang Lingyue also knew that military supplies were nothing more than meat buns and dogs, but it was also important to maintain nominal unity.

"Your Majesty, please see."

Zhao Yan knew that he had to come up with something real to reassure the empress.

Under Zhao Yan's greeting, a strong golden-armored warrior appeared in front of him holding a cold and flickering Mo sword.

"Show it to Your Majesty."

Zhao Yan ordered.

The golden-armored warrior shouted violently, and the Mo knife fell in response, and the blade easily slashed and cut off ten layers of sun-dried yellow cowhide.

The sharpness speaks for itself.

"Your Majesty, the sharpest armor-piercing arrow in this dynasty can't penetrate the fifth layer of dry cowhide."

If you don't compare, you don't know the power, Jiang Lingyue was dumbfounded.

"A Mo knife is thirty taels of silver, and Yan wants to forge three thousand Mo knife teams, so this 100,000 taels of silver will rot in the pot."

Zhao Yan had long had the ambition to form a long-term victorious army, but unfortunately due to the development of science and technology, he could not form a modern army.

Therefore, if you want to change the declining trend, you can only rely on the existing strength.

Mo Dao is where his hope lies.

"Even if you have Mo Dao? The elite of 3,000 people eat horses and chew silver money, and there are millions of dollars. ”

Jiang Lingyue said worriedly.

"Your Majesty, the corrupt officials have already prepared the money, just waiting for the ministers to take it."
