Chapter 73: One Man Kills One, Ten Thousand Kills Ten Thousand Person

"Liu Hua in the household department was corrupt and bribed, harmed the public and private interests, and bought a murderer to assassinate Weichen, and has been captured by the Jinyi guard!"

Li Qing arched his hand and said, "Liu Hua confessed to his crimes, and under the influence of Wei Chen, he wanted to atone his guilt, and confessed all the accomplices he knew, and there were more than 30 officials in Beijing alone. ”

Guo Huan's heart suddenly rose to his throat, but he still had a fluke mentality.

comforted himself: "Lao Liu is a loyal person and will not confess to me!" ”

But the next moment, his face turned green.

I saw Li Qing pointing casually, "According to Liu Hua's confession, Guo Huan, the household servant, is the mastermind!"

He united with the household department, the ceremonial department, the servant of the ministry, and the household department...... Forming a corruption gang with officials from all over the country who pay taxes to the central government.

Officials from all provinces, prefectures, prefectures, and counties have taken part in embezzling materials that should belong to the state treasury by means of overcollecting and undercollecting, fabricating reports, and embezzling materials that should belong to the state treasury. ”

"Li Qing!" Guo Huan was inward-looking, "Do you know what the crime of framing the three members of the imperial court should be?" ”

He was really panicked, and despite his best patience, his legs and stomach still couldn't stop shaking.

Not only Guo Huan, but also the more than 20 officials who stepped forward were all heartbroken, because Li Qing's long list included them.

"Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged!"

A group of people knelt down flutteringly, "Li Qing has a personal vendetta, and he bites indiscriminately, the emperor doesn't want to listen to him." ”

"All up, all up." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Don't worry, we won't listen to him, don't be afraid~"

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was smiling, there was no smile on his face.

Seeing this scene, even the courtiers who were not involved trembled, and they understood that someone was going to lose blood and bad luck.

As for who it is, it goes without saying!

Guo Huan is a squire in the end, he deeply understands that justifying will only make him passive, and the final result will definitely be a thorough investigation by the emperor and the incident in the east window.

Since you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who raised the problem.

"Your Majesty, the ministers impeached Li Qingyi for delaying her mother's illness, causing her to be blessed, abusing her power for personal gain, occupying the prostitutes in Qinglou, fabricating it out of thin air, framing the court officials, and punishing several crimes, which should be beheaded!"

Li Qing pouted secretly, she was about to pee her pants in fright, what kind of strength were you trying to hold on?

"The emperor doesn't want to believe him." Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, said in a trembling voice, "Liu Hua of the household department is obviously crazy, how can a madman count." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Liu Hua is really crazy, many people can testify."

"The words of a madman must not be believed, Your Majesty!"

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister also seconded it!"

A group of people knelt on the ground and chanted, kowtowing like pounding garlic.

……

Guo Huan's painting style gradually deviated, and his lungs were about to explode, at this time, he didn't care if Liu Hua was crazy or not!

The top priority is to get Li Qing to death.

With such a fucking justification, the question directly changed from whether Li Qing was dead or not, to whether Liu Hua was crazy or not.

What a bunch of pig brains...... Guo Huan was so angry that he vomited blood.

Fengtian Hall was in a mess, Xiao Guizi couldn't stand it anymore, and screamed: "Quiet! ”

Not to mention, his voice was quite effective, and the hall quickly quieted down.

Guo Huan secretly glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang on the dragon chair, and saw that he had a playful face, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, and his blood suddenly turned cold.

"Li Qing, is there any evidence of guilt?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Li Qing nodded and took out the confession that had already been sorted out from his arms.

Xiao Guizi walked down and took it with both hands and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"The Emperor's ......"

"Whoever makes any more noise, just pull it out and cut it." Zhu Yuanzhang was murderous, and his eyes were cold.

Guo Huan shrank for a moment, not daring to say anything more, the huge palace fell silent, and the needle drop could be heard.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it page by page, and after watching it for half an hour, he slowly raised his head.

"Li Qing."

"The minister is here."

Zhu Yuanzhang put the confession aside, "Is that Liu Hua crazy or not?" ”

"Not really." Li Qing said truthfully, "Pretending to be crazy is just a means he uses to get away with his crimes, oh, by the way, according to Liu Hua, it was Guo Huan who made him pretend to be crazy." ”

"You ......"

Guo Huan pointed at Li Qing, trembling all over, 'you' didn't say anything for a long time, I don't know if you are angry or scared.

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him, thought about it, and said, "Pass the decree and bring Liu Hua to the palace." ”

It's over, it's all over...... At this moment, Guo Huan had no luck, and sat on the ground in despair, his eyes blank.

Not only him, but the other 20 or so officials are also as pale as earth.

Zhu Yuanzhang took all this into view, and there were still no waves on his face.

He had already expected the corruption of the people below, but the number of people who embezzled was greatly beyond his expectations.

He sighed softly and said to the ministers, "Are we enough for you?" ”

The ministers looked at each other and bowed: "Go back to the emperor, it's enough!" ”

"That's good." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, leaned back on the dragon chair, and said nothing.

After two sticks of incense, Liu Hua was brought into the main hall.

As soon as Lao Liu saw that his former colleagues were all colorless, looking at him with eyes full of pleading, he was secretly happy in his heart, when Lao Tzu was tortured, you wives and children were hot on the kang, and now you know that you are afraid?

Seeing Li Qing with a look of wisdom beads in his hands, he still didn't understand the direction of things, so he immediately lifted his robe and said:

"Sinner Liu Hua, long live my emperor!"

"Tell us everything you know." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Don't climb, let alone omit, read your first exposure, we can appropriately reduce some of the guilt." ”

"Thank you, Emperor Longen."

Liu Hua kowtowed a few times and began to explain.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened while checking the confession of his opponent, and the two were compared, although they were not exactly the same, they were basically the same.

The murderous aura on his body is getting stronger and stronger.

"Is there anything else besides that?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Liu Hua hesitated, "Your Majesty, these are all known to the ministers, and there are still some ...... Up in the air. ”

"Just say."

"The minister also heard that when Guo Huan and Guo Shilang collected taxes, they set up a name and added extra money for food, treasury, and gods and Buddhas...... Several types of taxes. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang has always been very calm, even if he heard that so many people were corrupt, he did not lose his temper.

But when he heard the words Kuzi money, god and Buddha money, his face finally changed.

This is a tax that only existed decades ago!

It was these taxes that ruined his family and eventually embarked on the road of rebellion.

"Guo Huan!"

The sound of the main hall is like a muffled thunder, which is breathtaking.

"Minister... No, the sinners are there. ”

Guo Heng trembled and said, "The emperor spared his life, the minister was confused for a while, and the minister didn't dare anymore, begging the emperor to spare his life......!" ”

"Just confess!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed angrily, "Li Qing." ”

"The minister is here."

"None of his nine clans are allowed to be spared." Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and said: "Give us this Guo Huan ten thousand pieces, and divide the five horses!" ”

"Minister... Compliance. ”

When Guo Huan heard the verdict, he rolled his eyes and pulled it on the spot.

The remaining 20 or so officials were not much stronger, some begged for mercy, some kowtowed, and some even became incontinent, and the Fengtian Temple was in chaos.

"Bang ——!"

The best jade paperweight fell the imperial case, the crystal jade shavings flew sideways, and the noisy hall quieted down again.

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, and his blood poured into his pupils: "Drag it down, kill!"

The officials involved in the case were immediately killed by the empty paper stamp!

once participated in collusion with Hu Weiyong to rebel, and no one remained! ”

"Li Qing!"

"The minister is here!"

"Check, check from top to bottom!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked crazy, "Don't let go of any corrupt officials and corrupt officials, let go of one, and take your head!" ”

"Minister... Compliance. ”

Li Qing wanted to remind him that the next family had not yet taken office, and now that he was killed, there would be no one to work, but the words came to his lips and swallowed again.

Lao Zhu is angry, at this time, he has to be smooth, there are not too many people, there are only more than twenty, and it shouldn't matter much.

Li Qing arched his hand, exited the hall and began to shake people.

Zhu Yuanzhang supported the imperial case with both hands, leaned forward, almost lying on the table, he looked at the ministers, and his tone was cold:

"If you dare to be greedy, we will dare to kill!

One person is greedy to kill one, ten thousand people are greedy to kill ten thousand, and it will not be tolerated~! ”
