Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 48 Your Highness must thank Guozhi County!

As for the lord Bo Xiekuan, his face turned pale with fright, and he continued to say: "No, Your Highness must have made a mistake, my minister is not corrupt, not corrupt..."

The voice was so soft that no one could hear it clearly.

Zhu Di ignored it, but shouted to the officials below: "Where is the treasure?"

Among the crowd below, a chubby official trembled, ran out quickly, knelt down on the ground with a thud, and said, "Reporting to Your Highness, Chen Dianbao Pang Le will see His Highness!"

"Can you tell this king, how much did you take from all the warehouses in my palace?"

Pang Le's eyes darkened, and his whole body went limp, "Your Highness, Your Highness, I have always been loyal to Your Highness, and I have never been greedy..."

Zhu Di still ignored Pang Le, and shouted again: "Who is in charge of my prince's farms?"

In the crowd, an official ran out again, kneeling tremblingly on the ground.

Zhu Di shouted again: "Who purchased the iron catalpa, iron shovel and other agricultural tools brought by the rich merchants in the south of the Yangtze River a few days ago?"

"Your Highness, forgive me, it's my humble minister..."

Another official knelt in front of him tremblingly, his body was shaking like chaff, and his forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

Zhu Di snorted softly, then looked coldly at all the officials in the hall, and said coldly.

"Who else has been greedy for my king's money, let me stand up and tell you honestly, seeing that you have been with me for so long, this king has some friendship in mind, and let you have a way out.

Otherwise, this king can move everything in Jinyiwei Imperial Prison to the palace prison! "

As soon as the words fell, another group of officials knelt tremblingly in front of the hall with mournful faces.

"Your Highness, forgive me, I was confused for a while!"

"His Royal Highness forgives the sin, the humble minister was originally unwilling, but under their coercion..."

At the side, Zhu Fu and other officials, who were still standing, couldn't help but stare wide-eyed in disbelief when they saw this scene.

Where did these bastards get the courage to embezzle?Moreover, so many people are needed?
"Your Highness, this humble minister is guilty!"

Thinking about it, Zhu Fu also took two steps forward, pleading guilty with a helpless face.

Zhu Di's expression froze, and he stared at Zhu Fu: "Why, Zhu Changshi is also greedy?"

Zhu Fu's complexion changed, and he shook his head again and again: "Your Highness, forgive me, I will never dare to be greedy for ink. It's just that there are so many officials under the minister, Shi Si, who dare to be greedy for ink. It's because of my lack of discipline, it's a crime of neglect! "

"Hmph, you are indeed guilty of negligence!"

Zhu Di snorted coldly, and then looked down at the officials below, "Since you have already made your choice, don't blame me for not being sympathetic!"

"Where are He Zhong and Li Wang?"

"Report to Your Highness, the old slave is here!"

"The end is here!"

"The king ordered you and the other two to take this account book and interrogate the king one by one. Anyone who stood up on his own before recovering the money can be given a lighter sentence at his discretion.

As for the remaining ones who are still trying to fool around and pass the test, all of them will be captured by this king. This king must kill him, confiscate his house, and kill their entire family. Don't leave a single one behind! "

"Yes, Your Highness!"

With that said, Zhu Di handed the account book in his hand to He Zhong, the chief of the palace!

Before He Zhong opened the account book, among the officials below, several officials stood up with pale faces, knelt in front of Zhu Di, and shouted in horror.

"His Royal Highness, calm down, the humble minister is guilty, the humble minister is not as good as a pig or dog, the crime deserves death!"

Zhu Di was furious, "You guys, these thieves are deceiving the king, and the crime is heinous.

At this point, you feel that you can't get along, so you want to ask for mercy?How can there be such a big good thing?

In every account book, you have to corrupt the king a few sums, even the tenants of the king's farm are not spared.

A dog is not as good as a pig, and a wolf is born. In order to find you and others, how much effort the king and the princess have expended. Now the princess is still lying on the bed... resting!
You all talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality all day long, sing praises to the king, and say all kinds of flattery, but in the end you do such things behind your back!
It is really a bunch of treacherous ministers to deceive the king as a fool, how can the king be at ease if he does not kill you and so on? "

As he said that, Zhu Di shouted angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you check it out for me? No one is allowed to show mercy, or let me know, don't blame me for not being sympathetic!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

He Zhong, Li Wang and others hurriedly bowed their hands in a solemn salute, then summoned a group of guards from outside the hall, and carried out all the kneeling officials inside the hall.

Then, following the account books again, a few officials were picked out from among the officials who were still standing.

No matter how these officials struggled and shouted, Zhu Di didn't even look at it, and walked directly to the harem angrily.

His face was full of sadness.

Before, he just looked at the account books and didn't feel much, but when he knelt down in front of the hall, there were a lot of officials he could name.

After that, He Zhong and Li Wang found out so many traitors from among the officials!

Zhu Di was so angry that his whole body trembled. He never expected that there would be so many officials in the palace secretly embezzling his money.

And these officials are still loyal and conscientious to him every day.

"What a shame, what a shame.

After this incident, how will my father and the brothers treat me?How will the officials and common people in the entire Beiping Mansion treat me? ..."

The more he thought about it, the more anxious Zhu Di became.

Fortunately, the thief officer Guo An found out all these traitors for him in advance.

Otherwise, in a few years, how much money are these traitors going to steal out of Yan Palace?

Suddenly, a maid ran towards Zhu Di with a happy face.

"Your Highness, the princess is awake!"

"The princess is awake? Find the imperial doctor quickly!"

"Yes, Your Highness!..."

Zhu Di's pace suddenly quickened.

When Zhu Di entered the room, he saw that Princess Xu Miaoyun had already sat up, talking about something with a few cubs.

"Father, are you back?"

"Your Highness..."

"Don't move, girl, is it better?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, the concubine's body is too weak!"

"What nonsense is the girl talking? It's my fault. I knew that the girl was pregnant, but I let the girl review the account books for so many days. Fortunately, the girl is fine, otherwise I will regret it for the rest of my life!"

"The concubine made His Highness worry! I don't know those thieves?..."

"Sister, don't worry, I just summoned all my subordinates and ordered Hezhong and Li Wang to interrogate those thieves together!

I will definitely not let any thieves escape, and I will not let these thieves take away a penny from my palace! "

"So the concubine can rest assured!"

Xu Miaoyun nodded slightly.

Zhu Di said: "The imperial doctor said that my sister is overworked and needs a good rest, so don't think too much about it. During this period of time, I will handle all the affairs in the palace!"

"Listen to Your Highness!"

Xu Miaoyun nodded, then remembered something, and quickly said again: "Your Highness was able to find those traitors this time, thanks to that Guo Zhixian. Your Highness will definitely give that Guo Zhixian some rewards, thank you very much!"

"Don't worry, sister, I will send someone to reward Guo An with some silver taels tomorrow!"

"Silver taels?"

Xu Miaoyun looked surprised.

Zhu Di said with a look of disgust, "Exactly, my sister doesn't know, the thief officer Guo An likes money the most..."
