Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 898

The tiny pieces of stamens fell to the ground.

With the dignity of being an emperor supporting his weak body, Xiao Zhenbang looked at his childhood playmate expressionlessly, feeling that he was so strange.

Zhao Fugui continued: "Since returning to China, these messages have been sent secretly, but fortunately I have intercepted them all."

"I don't know martial arts, so I don't know how powerful those third- and fourth-grade ones you are looking for are."

"But I think my father has been practicing kung fu for decades, so killing those few shouldn't be a problem."

As he spoke, Zhao Fugui changed the subject: "Where is the horn knife I gave you?"

Xiao Zhenbang's heart skipped a beat: "Put it in the warehouse."

Zhao Fugui smiled, walked to the stone chair and sat down: "We in the Zhao family all cherish old feelings, and we will not harm those who are good to us, especially the Xiao family. That girl Xue Qing has returned to the country, and I Dad has one less thing on his mind."

"So we will do one more thing next, and after that we will leave Daqian."

"You are in the imperial family, so I can understand your thoughts and actions. Many things are actually just us disturbing ourselves."

"So this is your chair, huh."

Zhao Fugui smiled mockingly: "In my father's heart, only you surnamed Xiao can sit down. He will kill anyone who has an idea. Once the road is paved for you, don't be one of those people who picks up the bowl to eat and puts down the chopsticks to curse." Something happened."

After saying that, Zhao Fugui took out a roster from his arms and placed it on the stone table next to him: "I only care about my family, and I will give this to you."

Along with the roster, there was also a small pendant. Xiao Zhenbang looked at the pendant blankly. It seemed that it was given to him when he first met the other party when he was a child.

At that time, he also agreed that he would be the emperor in the future, and Zhao Fugui would be his national advisor.

Just like the parents of both parties.

"Brother Fugui!" Xiao Zhenbang called out with a trembling voice.

Zhao Fugui, who had already walked away, paused for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, please take care of me."

After leaving the palace, the sky turned dark unconsciously. Zhao Fugui raised his head and looked at the moon that was gradually emerging, and asked softly: "What will you choose? Zhenbang, if you don't do it, you won't die. Don't let me down."

in the Royal Garden.

The young emperor collapsed on the ground, gasping for air, and a great fear enveloped him.

The opened roster was empty, and there were no names of Cao Bailu's men lurking in the Jinyi Guards as expected.

Just a mocking text.

"I said, the Zhao family cherishes old friendships, and we will not harm those who treat us well, so what do you expect?"

The roster was torn into pieces. The young emperor got up from the ground and gasped. He looked at the pendant on the stone table with red eyes. Finally, he picked it up and smashed it to pieces.

The next day.

The emperor convened a court meeting, and all the civil and military officials were a little puzzled. Someone said: "I heard that King Zhao came back yesterday."

Only then did the rest of the people react. Some snorted, while others were speechless.

After a while, the emperor arrived. Some thoughtful ministers felt that His Majesty's face seemed a little bad today and it was not appropriate to talk too much today.

After sitting down, Xiao Zhenbang took a deep breath and said gently: "Xuan Zhao Wang."

"King Xuan Zhao!"

Then, Zhao Kang, dressed in a python robe, strode into the golden palace and said, "Zhao Kang meets your majesty."

"Uncle, there is no need to be polite. Will it go well for Xiang to help Empress Jingguo recover her kingdom this time?" Xiao Zhenbang asked hurriedly.

Zhao Kang nodded: "Thanks to your majesty's great blessing, Jingguo is now rebuilt. The empress Wu Xueqing has entrusted the minister to tell your majesty that from now on, we will never be in a relationship with each other and we will always be friends."

"Me too." Xiao Zhenbang smiled.

At this time, Zhao Kang raised his head: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Uncle, please tell me."

"I want to impeach the 18 ministers including Nian Wei, the Minister of Civil Affairs, Zhao Yuan, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Xu Zhen, the commander of the Forbidden Army, for allowing their subordinates to take bribes and corrupt the people. They have plundered countless people's fat and anointed people. They should be punished according to the law of the cadres!" "Zhao Kang, you!" Fart!" After Nian Wei was stunned, he immediately started to curse.

Zhao Kang ignored it and just looked at Xiao Zhenbang who was sitting on the dragon throne. The latter hurriedly said: "Uncle, have you checked wrongly? Mr. Nian and others are the pillars of the country..."

Zhao Kang interrupted him directly and said calmly: "As the King of Zhao in the Great Qian Dynasty, I am deeply favored by the emperor and a lonely and important minister entrusted by the late emperor. Your Majesty, do you think I will make a mistake?"

"This..." Xiao Zhenbang was speechless for a moment.

The rest of the people quit. Zhao Yuan, the Minister of Household Affairs, hurriedly said: "Zhao Kang, you are slandering us and other ministers of the court. You are treating this hall as the official hall of your Zhao family!"

This is obviously a slap in the face, but Zhao Kang never cared about this.

He just stared at Xiao Zhenbang on the dragon throne, as if he was forcing the emperor to give an order.

Xiao Zhenbang hesitated for a moment and then said: "King Zhao, I think we should investigate this matter again, right?"

Zhao Kang said with a smile: "There is no need to investigate. The Jinyiwei investigation is clear. Yesterday, I ordered the garrison in various places to cooperate with the Jinyiwei in arresting key criminals. Your Majesty only needs to order the arrest of Nian Wei and other traitors who are causing harm to the country."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please help! Zhao Kang is clearly trying to eliminate dissidents, Your Majesty!"

"Zhao Kang is the biggest rebellious official in my army. Gentlemen, why are you still standing there?"

"My lips are dead and my teeth are cold. If I die today, it might be your turn tomorrow!"

There were cries of injustice in the hall, and all the ministers began to panic. Looking at Zhao Kang in the middle, they were too angry to speak.

At this time, Zhao Kang went a step further: "I sincerely ask your Majesty to play it accurately."

Holding the handle of the dragon chair tightly, Xiao Zhenbang's voice was slightly trembling. If he had killed people before, he was still acting with Zhao Kang.

But now it's not certain. The sense of oppression exuded by the person in the audience is really too strong.

It's like a mountain that makes people breathless.

Also let the ministers see it.

Finally, under Zhao Kang's pressure, Xiao Zhenbang took a deep breath: "It's accurate."

Nian Wei, Zhao Yuan and others sat slumped on the ground, their dull eyes flickering back and forth between Xiao Zhenbang and Zhao Kang.

A high-ranking official in the dynasty has so many officials under him?

From the imperial capital to the various states, Zhao Kang arrested all the officials who were verified by the Jinyiwei.

These people, Zhao Kang, have carefully read the evidence files collected by Jin Yiwei. They kill them like pigs and dogs, without any sense of guilt.

In the imperial capital execution ground alone, more than 300 people were killed in one day. The sky was full of blood and the sky was red, and tens of thousands of people were beheaded with a wave of their hands.

At this moment, everyone inside and outside the court was shocked.

No one expected that Butcher Zhao could kill people so easily.

The family members of the officials who were demoted to civilians wore mourning clothes and knelt down in front of the palace gate to cry out for injustice.

It sounds really sad, but no one has the courage to pay attention to them.

Dufu.

Du Guangyu, who succeeded Zhang Mingyuan as Minister of Household Affairs, sighed, feeling a little out of breath recently.

At this time, someone walked in from outside the door. Du Guangyu looked over and his face darkened. It was his incompetent son Du Xuan.

Du Guangyu said unhappily: "What have you done?"

During this time, Butcher Zhao was too murderous, and she couldn't let him fall into his hands.

Du Xuan chuckled: "Dad, didn't I just come back from drinking?"

"What's in your hand?" Du Guangyu asked when he saw what his son was holding.

Du Xuan hurriedly said: "Dad, this is a painting someone gave me. It's so good! I'll give you a hand."
