When the empress said these words, she said them word by word, so that everyone could hear them clearly.

The civilian officials could still remain silent, but the generals laughed mockingly.

I don't want to solve the problem, I just blindly pray for the forgiveness and help of the gods, what kind of fame does he take, how good it is to be a national teacher!

The official couldn't hear what they were saying, but it wasn't a nice thing to say.

"The first emperor left you in the court because he had a heart of love and talent, and hoped that one day you could wash away the lead and use it for the Great Xia."

"The first emperor has you in his heart, and always tells me that this person may be of great use in the future."

"But I can't imagine that you think very highly of yourself now, not only did you understand the meaning of the first emperor, but even ignored everyone, think about how long it has been since you wrote a Narushu poem."

"Are you worthy of the cultivation and trust of the first emperor, and are you worthy of your officials and concubines?"

The empress's words were like sharp knives, piercing the man's heart fiercely.

Yes, I did buy two Narushu poems, and the first emperor also gave me a chance.

But after all, he is just a fine work of seeking the wind gate, and he doesn't sacrifice the wind seeking door, so isn't he an official who did it in vain?

It's just that I'm a little ashamed of the emperor, but my youth in the past few decades has also been with me here, and I don't owe anything to Daxia.

Thinking of this, the man bowed down, lowered his head, and prepared to die.

Zheng Xiu, who was on the side, took the opportunity to look at the empress a few more times, and he didn't think that the empress would speak for him.

After all, when a warrior fights bravely to kill the enemy, does he still care about the feeling of a knife?

Although it did save him a lot of trouble, that is.

Zheng Xiu thought as she continued to wait quietly for the passage of time.

Finally, after another period of time, the brocade guard and the eunuch each walked in with a notebook.

"Your Highness, regarding the case of the Ministry of Industry this time, we have collected a large part of the evidence, and we are ready to start the trial."

As he spoke, the brocade guard brought out an account book, and then handed it to the empress.

The empress looked at the officials involved above, and couldn't help but feel that she had a headache.

But no one else is to blame, only herself.

If you don't die by fighting a snake, there will be trouble, this is the best opportunity for the court to change blood, if you don't take strong medicine this time, then Daxia will still be the original rotten Daxia.

Kill, kill a person's head, it may not be a good thing for Great Xia, but it is not necessarily a bad thing.

"Okay, you go ahead and do it, I have a headache when I see these things."

The empress handed the fold back to the brocade guard, and then looked back at the eunuch on the side.

The eunuchs also respectfully handed over an account book, which did not have so many officials.

Some are just lumps of silver, where they came from, where they are going, how much they are getting, how much they may have left, and how much they can get back.

These data add up one by one, and it should be a lot.

The empress thought about it, so she turned directly to the last page, and then her heart was shocked, three billion taels!

She couldn't have imagined that her Great Xia Kingdom could be embezzled for three billion taels.

Cool, calm, calm!

She is the empress, and she must not lose her temper now.

It's just that there are too many.

While thinking, the empress looked at the eunuch next to her, as if to determine the reliability of this book.

The eunuch on the side hesitated for a moment, and then nodded violently!

That's right, even they were shocked when they saw this data.

Three billion silver, you should be able to build a city of pure silver with silver, right?

The empress saw the eunuch nodding, and then counted the zeros with trembling hands.

Three billion, really three billion.

The row below is the number that can be recovered.

Billion.

Wait, these people have obviously embezzled three billion silver, why can they only recover a third? There are two billion taels left.

The empress looked at the eunuch next to her again.

This time the eunuch could only shake his head helplessly, they also wanted to help the empress recover the money.

But they don't have that ability, and the silver usually flows in three directions.

The first is that it is spent, and even if some officials' property is sold, the price will not be lower than when they bought it.

The second is that it flows to other places, such as to the big families, to the immortal cultivation sects, and even some to fornicate with foreign countries and directly send food and money to the empire.

The last flow is a bit more difficult to say.

For example, if a petty official in the Ministry of Industry is greedy for 500 taels, he will give 200 taels to the director.

After the principal embezzled 1,000 taels, he would give 400 taels to the squire.

After the squire embezzled to three thousand taels, he would offer one thousand taels to Shangshu.

It is precisely because they give silver level by level that it has created the current atmosphere of the Great Xia Kingdom where officials protect each other and protect each other.

These are also clearly written on the fold, and the empress sees it and knows that there is no way to recover the silver.

"Go chase it, you can chase back as much as you can, and if you don't get to a third, you'll be useless."

After the empress said this, those eunuchs also immediately took action.

Compared to Jinyiwei, it is good to only need to arrest people.

They will have a lot of trouble chasing money.

What's even more troublesome is that he hopes that the little eunuchs under him can distinguish the priorities, and don't make himself unhappy at this time.

As the Jinyi guards and eunuchs began to act, the entire capital was in turmoil.

No matter how big an official is, how many caretakers there are in the family, it is not enough to see them all in front of the eagle dogs of the imperial court.

In the main hall, people were constantly twisted and sent to the prison of the two factories.

The heavy machine called the state, without those rusty hindrances, ran at a rapid pace.

Almost every few seconds, a bunch of people would emerge from the prison.

It's not that no one wants to join in the fun, but when they saw that they were covered in blood and their faces were brocade guards, they silently returned to their homes and closed the doors and windows.

With no one to stop them, those court eagle dogs that had been suppressed for a long time finally showed their minions again.

It was because of these civil officials before, when the time comes, they will be scolded when they have something, and they will be counted out if they have nothing to do.

Now that I have a chance to take revenge, I can use the information I have scouted before.

Whose door is easy to kick open, whose house needs a thunderbolt.

Whose back garden has a secret passage, whose warehouse has a secret room.

Jinyiwei and the factory worked together at this time, abandoned the previous suspicions, and unanimously went to the outside world.

Jinyi Wei arrested people, the eunuchs raided their homes, and the two forces directly leveled the portals of all sizes.

Maybe they don't know anything else, but this groundbreaking achievement, as long as they share a little profit, they can be inexhaustible.

This time for them, it's really a mix of new and old hatreds.

In just one night, all the people have been apprehended.

Wait until the first rays of sunlight from the sky shine on the earth.

There are not many ministers still standing in the palace.

Zheng Xiu also asked the empress for her life.
