Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 310 We choose to leave!

Listening to the officials' answers, Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua finally showed a smile on their faces, and a wordless tacit understanding spread between them.

Seeing their connectedness, Baili Jinchuan had a sarcastic smile on his lips.

The two of them are really willing, the matter was revealed by Baili Junyi, even if Shen Ninghua proposes a way to ease, those officials will still hate the two of them to the bone, but for the emperor, as long as he slightly relaxes the standard, he will spare most of them. People's lives, these officials will be grateful to the emperor, and the emperor still has their standards in his hands, so they will not be afraid that they will not work hard.

Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua handed over such a great kindness to their father.If they don't reveal the matter, but use it to blackmail those officials, he can be sure that with the means of the two of them, most of the officials can be won over without any effort, and even if they want that position, it will be easy.

Don't they have the slightest interest in the throne?He doesn't believe it, he doesn't believe it at all!

Baili Jinchuan was able to think of this, so Baili Qingcang naturally understood the same.

Seeing the smiling faces of the two of them, he felt a sense of emotion in his heart: "Jun Yi, Ning Hua, don't mention the words of leaving, today you..."

"Father." Baili Junyi interrupted Baili Qingcang, with a particularly firm expression on his face, "Father, I understand what you mean, but although I uncovered the Hualou incident, there is no reason. Fire prevention is also a fact. The mistakes made by the son, the son should bear it himself, please punish the father."

"You... why are you so stubborn, Ninghua, tell me, do you also want to leave the capital?" Ninghua has always understood the truth better than Junyi, she will definitely not choose to leave, he is certain in his heart, but Hearing Shen Ninghua's refusal.

"Father, if my son marries Prince Yi as his wife, then naturally he should be a husband and wife, and his son was also involved in this matter, so naturally he should be punished together."

"You... are you determined to leave?" Baili Qingcang frowned, with complicated emotions in his eyes.

Baili Junyi smiled and said: "Father, sons and Ninghua have offended all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, so why not stay here and wait for revenge?"

"Who dares to retaliate against you?" Baili Qingcang swept the crowd coldly, and said in a stern tone.

"I don't dare to say it on the surface, but who can say it in private, the father and the ministers are made princes, and they should have their own fiefdoms. Let's go to our own fiefdoms and take it as a substitute for the father. Observe the people's sentiments. "

"You..." Baili Qingcang sighed deeply, glanced at the ugly-looking third prince and the others, feeling restless in his heart, the third and the others value power more than anything else, and will do whatever they can to fight for power. But Jun Yi didn't even want to give him any credit, this kind of comparison made him even more reluctant to leave the two of them.

"I don't agree, don't think about leaving."

Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua knelt on the ground and did not continue to insist, but their figures were stubborn and stubborn.

"You... are you forcing me? Well, I will give you a choice. You can leave the capital, but as a prince, you have no right to leave the capital. Either I will remove Jun Yi from the position of prince, and you will leave with nothing , or stay in Jinggui as the prince, you choose yourself?"

Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua looked at each other, Shen Ninghua nodded to him, the support in his eyes was self-evident.

"Father, we choose to leave."

Baili Qingcang paused, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes, but he felt sour in his heart. How could these two children be so stubborn!

Baili Jinchuan squeezed the shards of the wine glass in his hand, and the shards pierced into his palm, causing severe pain:
"Father, whether the fifth younger brother wants to leave or not will be discussed later. Isn't the most important thing now is to deal with the account books of Hualou?"

Baili Qingcang nodded: "Yes, that's right, Jin Chuan is right."

Baili Junyi wanted to say something else, but Baili Qingcang waved his hand impatiently: "You two get up, we can discuss anything later."

Seeing Baili Qingcang's resolute attitude, the two just got up and stood aside.

Seeing the disfigured courtiers below, the gentleness in Baili Qingcang's eyes disappeared without a trace, and his eyes were as cold as a knife like a sword:

"You made a mistake, and I will not pursue it for the time being. Princess Zhaohua's suggestion is very appropriate. I will use 5000 taels and 2000 taels as the limit. If the amount is less than 2000 taels, I will not pursue it, and I will not confiscate your property. However, this I will keep the evidence, and if anyone does something else, I will not tolerate it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." About one-third of the officials stood up immediately, and bowed their heads respectfully to Baili Qingcang to thank Baili Qingcang with the joy of remaining alive after the catastrophe.

"For those between 2000 taels and 5000 taels, all your property will be confiscated, and your official position will be demoted two levels. If you can make achievements, not only will I not be held accountable, but I will also restore your official posts."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En, and I'll wait for you to repay your majesty!" Another group of officials were pointed out, kneeling on the ground and trembling all over. No matter what, their lives were saved. If they behaved well, they could be reinstated. , They were all thanking God, thanking Baili Qingcang with all their hearts.

Baili Qingcang glanced at the remaining kneeling officials, and asked the shadow guards to check how much money they had spent.

"Reporting to the emperor, the subordinates have checked clearly that the remaining 5000 officials spent more than 20 taels of silver in Hualou, and the largest cost was [-] taels."

"Your Majesty, please spare my life, please spare my humble minister's life."

"Your Majesty, this servant doesn't dare anymore. I don't dare anymore. Please forgive me."

Baili Qingcang's expression was as cold as an iceberg, and the air pressure around him was suffocating. He didn't say a word of nonsense, and directly ordered: "Drag these people out of the Chengqian Hall...and kill them with a stick! Everyone else went out to watch Punishment, to serve as an example to others!"

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty!"

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."

The wailing sounded together, but Baili Qingcang didn't order people to gag their mouths.

Those officials who were lucky enough to escape the catastrophe only felt that the begging sounds were like a curse, and they were so frightened that they closed their eyes and dared not look.

Baili Qingcang sat down in person, sitting on the steps outside the hall.None of the other officials and female relatives were spared and separated from each other. The Dragon Scale Army held the court staff and escorted eighteen officials with a cold and ruthless face.

Baili Qingcang narrowed his eyes slightly, and shouted coldly: "Execution!"

The red court staff with thick arms was raised high, and then fell heavily.

"The emperor spares my life, the emperor spares my life."

"The guilty minister was wrong, and the guilty minister will never dare again."

Some of those officials are in the first rank, some have been officials in the court for more than ten years, and some are just greedy for temporary enjoyment.

Baili Qingcang had no scruples at all, no matter how much they shouted and begged for mercy, they didn't even change their eyes.

The female relatives who came along with the officials stood aside, their faces pale and trembling, but they gritted their teeth and dared not cry, dare not beg for mercy, and lowered their heads stubbornly and dared not raise their heads.Originally, he came to the banquet happily, but unexpectedly, the banquet turned into a Hongmen banquet.

However, there was still a young lady who couldn't help but yelled: "Father..." After crying, the woman beside her tightly covered her mouth and knelt on the ground.

Standing beside Baili Junyi, Shen Ninghua lowered her eyes slightly, there is one more corrupt official in the court, and how many people are in deep trouble, so it is good to kill all such people, it is not worthy of anyone's sympathy, Because when they reached out to the people, they should have thought of this day!
Gradually, the imperial staff was stained with blood, and the strong smell of blood came out, causing many people to cover their mouths in pain to prevent themselves from spitting out.

Most of the people present had unclean hands, more or less contaminated their lives, but they were rich and powerful, and most of them gave orders. Naturally, someone would do it for them. When have you ever seen a living person being killed by a living stick? in sight?I just think that thinking about today's scene in the future, they will never dare to take more money than they should have!
"Reporting to the emperor, all 18 criminals have been killed."

Baili Qingcang raised his eyes: "Drag it on, send it back to their respective houses, let their family members be buried, and let the Dragon Scale Army together search the family property by the way."

"Yes, the subordinate leader."

The Dragon Scale Army quickly dragged the corpses down, some of them had been smashed to pieces, bloody and bloody, everyone couldn't help turning their heads away from the horrible scene in front of them.

Baili Qingcang snorted coldly: "You are just watching the punishment and you are afraid. If you make another mistake and let me catch the pigtails, then you will be the ones who will be punished!"

"The humble minister dare not, the emperor appeases his anger."

The faces of those courtiers were as pale as quails, and Baili Qingcang suddenly felt a feeling that everything was under control. He felt this feeling all the time when he was in his prime, but when he After getting old, it has been a long time since he experienced it, and he felt more powerless.

He squinted his eyes, smelled the bloody smell from the tip of his nose, and ordered in a cold voice: "Clean up the front of the hall, don't dirty my place."

He is the monarch of the world and the king of the people. These officials rely on him to survive and advise him to govern the world. He holds the power of life and death, so he should be invincible. Before, he was too kind and always wanted to give I left a good reputation for myself, if everything is under control, who would dare to say that he is violent?

Thinking about it, the problem that was still entangled in his heart was suddenly solved. He turned his head to look at the third prince, fourth prince and sixth prince: "Third, fourth, sixth, you..."

Before Baili Qingcang finished his sentence, the three princes knelt on the ground one after another.

The third prince burst into tears, not caring about his own image: "Father, my son was wronged, my son was really wronged."

Baili Qingcang's eyes flashed with anger, and he hated being interrupted: "My treasury has been empty for a long time, so you can think of a way for me, if the treasury is full, the anger in my heart may be able to dissipate." go down."

"Yes, yes, my son will definitely try his best to find a way." The fourth prince quickly agreed, as long as he can save his life, everything else is nothing, not money, as long as he has his life, nothing else is important.

Baili Qingcang nodded in satisfaction: "However, you should be clear about one thing. I don't want to hear things that harass the people and absorb their fat and anointing. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Erchen and others understand."

This is because they are afraid that they will jump over the wall in a hurry, and take ideas from the people in order to survive.After what happened today, how dare they?
