Now, as long as there is a matter of sealing off officials, Zhu Bai is left to do it.
Zhu Bai really counted the money until his hands cramped.
Everyone says that it is Lao Zhu who prefers Zhu Bai. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows clearly: Lao Zhu really prefers Zhu Biao.
Where does the seized money go?
The treasury.
How much can Zhu Bai take? You can't take them away, and most of them end up in the treasury.
Whose treasury is it?
It belongs to Lao Zhu, and from now on it belongs to Zhu Biao!
In fact, it was Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao who ordered the seizure.
But the officials and their families will only remember Zhu Bai who came forward.
Zhu Bai is acting as the "bad guy" for Zhu Biao.
Because Zhu Biao had to win the support of as many people as possible before he could secure the throne.
How could Zhu Bai not know this if he is so smart?
But when Lao Zhu asked him to go, he never said a word.
The more obedient and generous he is.
Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao were even more embarrassed.
This is what Zhu Bai wants.
In fact, Wang Guangyang is not greedy. The amount of gold and silver at home is not enough to surprise and excite Zhu Bai, and it is enough to pay for the hard work.
It's just that there are some handed down calligraphy and paintings that money can't buy, which makes Zhu Bai very excited.
There are also several sika deer in the backyard.
Zhu Bai remembered that he had bought this at the Guanyu Bureau a long time ago.
Tsk tsk, the deer was confiscated before it was finished.
Why bother?
He asked people to bring these deer back to the palace and put them in the imperial garden to raise them and eat them during the New Year.
Wang Guangyang's family members were driven out and lined up in a row, waiting to be dealt with.
The young and beautiful ones go to brothels, and the old and beautiful ones go to wash clothes and do hard work.
It was originally the job of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Public Security, but now Wang Guangyang has been reprimanded, Hu Weiyong is in prison, and Ru Taisu is also under control.
Only Zhu Bai could do it.
Wang Guangyang is lustful and has good taste. His concubines are all young and beautiful.
While looking at it, Zhu Bai shook his head and sighed: Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, how pitiful.
They are fair-skinned and beautiful, with long legs and big breasts. The key is that they are all innocent. It would be a pity to send them to do coolies or prostitutes.
But this is the law of the Ming Dynasty.
No matter how much he couldn't bear it, he could only do it.
His sleeves were pulled, Zhu Bai turned around and saw a charming beauty.
Zhang Yu and Fugui immediately became nervous, putting their hands on the handles of their knives, or reaching into their sleeves to pull out hidden weapons.
Zhu Bai raised his hand to signal them not to move, and raised his eyebrows at the beautiful woman.
One in a million, stunningly charming.
He looks about eighteen or nineteen years old.
If it had been later, she would still be studying.
The beauty whispered: "Please, Your Highness, please save the daughter of the people. You can do whatever Your Highness wants the daughter of the people to do. I am proficient in chess, music, calligraphy and painting."
Being begged by an innocent and weak woman, he really couldn't bear to refuse.
Not to mention that the other party is a beautiful woman.
Zhu Bai sighed and said, "I can't help you. The most I can do is send you to a brothel, help you notify your family, and save money to redeem you."
Logically speaking, she is not Wang Guangyang's direct relative, so there should be others in her natal family.
The beautiful woman answered with tears: "A common girl has no family. She was sold to a brothel when she was young, and was later bought as a concubine by Mr. Chen, the governor of Huguang. Fortunately, Mr. Wang rescued her. I thought I could survive, but I didn't expect it. …”
Zhu Bai stared at the beautiful woman and said, "You are the concubine of Mr. Chen, the envoy to Huguang."
Mr. Chen, the chief envoy of Huguang, was exiled by Lao Zhu, and all his family members joined the government. How could they be in Wang Guangyang's house?
Once a family member becomes an official, they become the property of the court. Unless Lao Zhu specially orders a reward to an official, it is impossible to appear in a private house.
Master Chen did it all by himself. Lao Zhu did not reward his family members to anyone at all.
The beauty was frightened by Zhu Bai's gaze and took a step back. She suddenly realized what shocking secret she had revealed and bit her lip.
Zhu Bai's heart was racing: Damn it, what did I know?
Isn't this just stealing meat right under the nose of a tiger?
Do you want to tell Lao Zhu about such a big thing? !
If you tell Lao Zhu, many people will be implicated.
If I don't tell Lao Zhu, then I am also lying to you.
And if the loopholes are not fixed, it will happen again in the future.
The key point is that so many people have heard it, and there is also a pro-military captain present, so I can't hide it.
Zhu Bai made a decision in a moment and said: "Take them into custody first, and wait until I report to the emperor before dealing with them."
After he finished speaking, he was about to leave, but he heard the beautiful woman behind him murmuring: "It's better to die cleanly. Mr. Wang, if you save me once, it will be worth it for me to die for you."
His hair stood up, and he subconsciously turned around to grab the beauty.
The woman rushed out like crazy and slammed into the tree trunk next to her.
There was a muffled sound.
The tree as thick as one person hugged it trembled.
The woman fell to the ground, her neck bent at a weird angle.
Zhu Bai stared at her, his lips were numb and his mind was blank.
He didn't see blood, but he smelled it.
And the smell was even stronger than that day when he surrounded the Japanese pirates and killed them in Guanya Bureau Station.
Zhang Yu quickly turned sideways to block Zhu Bai's sight and said, "Your Highness, don't look at her. She is a sinner and does not deserve His Highness' pity on her."
Zhu Bai swallowed dryly.
My heart, which had stopped for a beat just now, was now beating wildly.
Yes, she's just a woman who has nothing to do with me, don't take it to heart.
I once watched hundreds of Japanese pirates turn into charcoal and dust in front of me.
I have personally put bullets into the flesh and blood of thieves.
This is nothing compared to that.
He comforted himself like this, but when he turned around and went out, he was still very flustered.
Because no matter how he comforted himself, he could not deny that she was just an innocent and weak woman, and could not be compared with those who deserved to be punished for their heinous crimes.
------
Lao Zhu had already received the report from the pro-military captain and was very angry.
This Wang Guangyang is really hateful. He just doesn't work but is still so lustful. The most important thing is that he scared our most beloved son.
He told the palace people that Zhu Bai would bring him to the imperial study as soon as he returned to the palace.
When Zhu Bai came in, his face was still a little pale, and even his eyes were not as lively and open as usual.
Zhu Biao also sighed secretly: Alas. This lawless boy was really scared this time.
Old Zhu Bai Zhu Bai held him in his arms and stroked his back: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Zhu Bai's hands were frighteningly cold.
Lao Zhu rubbed Zhu Bai's hand, feeling increasingly distressed and angry: "This Wang Guangyang really deserves to die."
Zhu Bai murmured: "Sir, I heard that women who were expelled from the government should be rewarded by me to the families of meritorious officials. How do civil servants get them?"
He was trying hard to forget that tragic scene, so he kept forcing himself to think about other things.
Lao Zhu snorted: "How else can we get it? It's because the Ministry of Revenue and the Zhongshu Province are corrupt and colluding to deceive the superiors and subordinates. They all deserve to die. Ah, no, everyone in the Sixth Ministry deserves to die."
Lao Zhu has long been dissatisfied with Zhongshu Province, and he will definitely get rid of it this time.
But now, listening to Lao Zhu’s tone, he wants to get rid of even six of them.
This is too fierce. Will the emperor really become a loner and have to die from exhaustion?
