The little queen is squeamish, and the tyrant of prey coaxes her every night

The official woke up in a daze, and subconsciously raised his head to look around.

In a small room, the doors and windows were closed, making Wu Guangxin dim.

Suddenly, his eyes touched a person standing next to him, only seeing the hem of the skirt, he immediately looked away, and bumped into another person and the maid guarding her.

"you……"

"Wu Zhou, the county magistrate of Changfeng County under the jurisdiction of Linchuan, first passed the imperial examination, and later filled the vacancy of the county magistrate of Changfeng County. During this 28 years, he gave up a chance for promotion."

Wu Zhou was interrupted as soon as he opened his mouth.

The other party correctly told his life, and Wu Zhou plucked up the courage to look up.

It was Empress Fu Yao who was sitting on the main seat, and the maid beside her was looking at him unkindly.

Standing to the side was the man who knocked him out.

There was no trace of the emperor.

Wu Zhou didn't understand what was going on in it for a moment, and quickly lowered his head after turning his eyes around.

"I pay my respects to the empress, I don't know...the empress brought me here, what is the so-called matter?"

Fu Yao looked coldly at Wu Zhou who was still pretending to know nothing, and snorted coldly in her heart.

She heard Li Wei mention this person, and she felt that something was wrong with this person before anything happened, and in the past few days, she has obtained evidence that the assassin at that time was instigated by him.

It's just that there is no evidence that this person is connected with the Queen Mother and the Liu family, so he hasn't done anything yet, and even hides his whereabouts to see if the person behind him will make any moves.

But it doesn't.

The person behind this has not moved at all, making people wonder if there is no person behind this at all.

Thinking of this, Fu Yao said directly: "You sent someone to assassinate the emperor, which should have been a death penalty."

Wu Zhou's complexion changed drastically, and he subconsciously defended; "Empress Empress, I don't have any! How could I have such courage? I..."

"Enough!" An Chengyue interrupted Wu Zhou impatiently: "As a county magistrate, you have embezzled so much money for flood control over the years, do you think no one will know about it? Although the assassins you arranged are assassinating The emperor died afterwards, but if people don’t know about it, unless they do nothing!”

Wu Zhou looked at An Chengyue in fear.

An Chengyue raised her chin, snorted and said: "You have been convicted of death, the empress intends to give you a way out, if you still persist in your obsession, you will be pushed out of the city and beheaded immediately after the emperor makes an order! Not only you, but also your relatives and friends cannot escape."

"..."

Wu Zhou's whole body went limp, and he fell to the ground.

An Chengyue also said: "Besides, the emperor has already sent someone to your home, and put all your wives and children in prison, waiting to be released."

Fu Yao saw Wu Zhou was scared out of his wits by An Chengyue's words, and wanted to speak out in a panic, but he couldn't speak, and said empathetically, "Although this is the case, you still have a first-line upgrade, as long as you explain honestly, the emperor You and your family will be spared."

Wu Zhou seemed to be clinging to the last straw, and he didn't even have time to think about whether there was any fraud in it, so he asked in a panic, "What do you want to tell me?"

Fu Yao paused for a moment, and said, "Who are you giving the money you have embezzled over the years to the capital? Linchuan and Meng Chuan, who else embezzled with you? Write down the list of these people one by one."

She originally wanted to directly ask if it was related to the Liu family, but it was unnecessary after thinking about it.

You only need to see if there is any connection with the Liu family among the names he wrote.

Fu Yao winked, and Xinliu went to the side to take the prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone and put it in front of Wu Zhou: "Hurry up and write."

Wu Zhou tremblingly picked up the brush, and asked uncertainly, "If I tell the truth, can I really... save my life?"

"Yes, and it will never involve your family."

Only then did Wu Zhou get down on the ground and start writing because of Fu Yao's promise.

An Chengyue quietly moved to Fu Yao's side, leaned over and said in a low voice, "I don't think there's anything difficult about this matter. This person looks spineless, so he just needs to be frightened a little bit. Senior brother is too old." Be careful, this matter has been resolved long ago."

Fu Yao smiled and said nothing.

After Wu Zhou finished writing, Xinliu put the paper away and handed it to Fu Yao. An Chengyue called the guards to come in and take Wu Zhou down to take care of him, and then went to Fu Yao to read the written list together.

"strangeness."

An Chengyue frowned and muttered softly.

Fu Yao's gaze immediately shifted from the list to An Chengyue's face: "What's so strange?"

"Look." An Chengyue pointed to the list: "The money sent to the capital written by Wu Zhou was given to an inconspicuous living man. What background does the living man have in the capital to protect the people below?" Corruption? And I've barely heard of this guy."

Fu Yao stared at the name An Chengyue pointed at, and smiled: "Doesn't this mean that this person is just a middleman? The person behind this living man is capable of protecting the people below from corruption, and making these things If it calms down, the imperial court will definitely not be able to hear the wind. It is also possible..."

"It's also possible that the Liu family and the Queen Mother are behind this! This living man is just a pawn placed in a prominent place, and the real things are kept behind the scenes!" An Chengyue took over the topic and said.

Fu Yao nodded.

exactly.

An Chengyue changed her mind: "This Wu Zhou must be hiding something!"

"Not necessarily." Fu Yao looked at the list.

Some names on this list, probably because of fear, the handwriting pauses and floats from time to time.

But the whole thing is pretty detailed, except for the strange list in the capital, the names of the county magistrates and masters in the county government are all written on his face, and more than half of the officials involved are involved.

She even had another idea.

possible……

In this matter, the queen mother and the Liu family really did not do anything.

But they know the situation in this place, as long as they give some guidance, these corrupt officials don't want to lose their official lives, and there will always be people who take risks.

Fu Yao clicked on the list, suppressed these things for the time being, and handed the list to An Chengyue.

"The emperor is now discussing with others about the flood control, and he has no intention to take care of it. You take this list and arrest those who are not in the government first."

"Row."

An Chengyue took the list, turned around and led a team of officers and soldiers to the county government first, arresting the county magistrate and others.

Li Mi had been away for half an hour when Wang Yong and Qian Tong hurried back and were stopped by the guards outside the office.

Li Min said to Fu Yao: "These two people are mediocre, the people below have done so many things without telling them, and they don't even know about it. As local officials, they can't even do a clear inspection, so they shouldn't be kept."

But at this time they are still needed to do things, so they will not be held accountable.

But they should also be more sensible.
