After glancing at his wife, Chu Yang stepped out of the living room. Standing on the steps, looking indifferently at the courtyard, Lu Jiucheng, who had already been decapitated by soldiers, was decapitated.
"Master, master..." Looking at the dead bodies on the ground, Lu Jiucheng's wife and concubine fainted three or four times.
"Find Lu Jiucheng's head and wrap it in a rag, load it with other gold, silver and jewelry, and take it back to the palace!" Looking at the soldiers, Chu Yang ordered.
"The first team, the second team, and the third team are responsible for the escort!" Leng Feng gave the order.
"No!" In response, the 30 guards who had been named immediately started to act. Some soldiers began to seal the boxes and carry them to the gate, while others went to the Lu Manor's carriage and rushed to the gate, waiting to escort the silver taels.
After glancing at them, Chu Yang's eyes fell on those maids and servants. "Lu Jiucheng was corrupt and broke the law, and has already been beheaded by this king. There is no need for this Lu Mansion to exist. You maidservants and servants, this king will return the contract of sale to you. Go home and live a good life!"
Hearing this, the bloodless servants and maids who were frightened were both surprised and happy.
"Okay, I'm going to start reading names now, whoever I read, whoever comes to get my contract of sale!" As he spoke, Chu Yang took out the stack of contracts of sale from the box, began to read the names one by one, and took out the contract of sale. Distributed to maids and servants, they all left the Lu Mansion.
After dismissing his servants, Chu Yang looked at Lu Jiucheng's wives, concubines and children. "Women and men of the Lu Mansion, leave all the valuables on you, and you can go too."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Give thanks immediately. "Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord!"
"Team four, team five. Go forward and search them, and send them out of the house!" Looking at the soldiers, Leng Feng said so.
"No!" Responding, the soldiers immediately stepped forward and searched out all the jewelry, silver, and bank notes on men and women. Only then did this group of twenty or so people leave.
Looking at the daughter-in-law who had arranged everything properly, Chu Yang showed him an appreciative smile.
"My lord, shall we go back home?!" Looking at Chu Yang, Leng Feng asked softly.
"Don't worry, it's still early, let's catch two more mice. Just go back before dinner." Speaking of this, Chu Yang smiled.
Just now, he killed a Lu Jiucheng, and his merit points increased by 53. You can imagine how hated this Lu Jiucheng is, and in addition, Chu Yang let go of twenty servants and forty servant girls. His luck value changed from minus one thousand to minus eight hundred and eighty-seven. This move earned one hundred and thirteen merit points. It was the first time that Chu Yang encountered such a good thing! It seems that 003 is right, punishing rape and eradicating evil is easier to earn points than helping others.
"No!" Hearing what his man said, Leng Feng smiled. He also felt very happy to have caught Lu Jiucheng by surprise this time.
After leaving the home of chief envoy Lu Jiucheng, Chu Yang led his guards directly to the home of the second chief envoy, Si Zuo.
In one afternoon, Chu Yang visited three families in total, but unfortunately, the officials of these three families were all corrupt officials, and they were all beheaded by Chu Yang. Anyway, his current personality is a cruel prince, and killing a few officials just confirmed his reputation as cruel. Besides, this kind of corrupt officials who can embezzle millions of taels of silver, even in modern times, should be It is a capital crime, and killing them is also considered to be for the welfare of the people, and it is doing good deeds.
In the evening, Chu Yang and his party returned to the palace in a mighty manner. Chu Yang immediately asked the housekeeper of the palace to count and store all the gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings that he escorted back today.
After eating, looking at the man sitting next to him, Leng Feng couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
"What are you laughing at?" Chu Yang raised his eyebrows, and looked at his wife.
"I didn't laugh at anything. I just thought that Qi'an was very smart. He caught three big mice in one afternoon."
After being praised by his wife, Chu Yang smiled and pinched her face. "is it fun?"
"Uh..." Hearing the man ask this, Leng Feng put away his smile. "There are so many corrupt officials in Dongzhou, are you annoyed?"
Hearing this, Chu Yang shook his head indifferently. "It's nothing. Corrupt officials can be found everywhere, not only in Dongzhou, but also in other places. We can treat them as a game and catch them every now and then. This way, they won't dare to embezzle anymore."
"Well, it makes sense, you killed three corrupt officials today, and if the news gets out tomorrow, other officials probably won't dare to embezzle!" Nodding repeatedly, Leng Feng agreed.
"After dinner in a while, I will give you a list. You send people to the homes of these officials to inform them that they will come to the palace for a banquet tomorrow. This king will beat them hard." Having killed three corrupt officials, Chu Yang decided Take this as a good knock on the officials of Dongzhou.
"Okay, I got it!" Nodding, Leng Feng expressed his understanding.
"Feng'er, I remember that my guard army has five hundred people. Why do we only have two hundred people when we go out today?" Looking at his wife, Chu Yang asked curiously.
"Oh, this, it's like this. I am the commander of the guard army. I have two hundred soldiers under me. Today, the two hundred people who came out of the palace with us are all my soldiers. In addition, the deputy commander Liu Yong There are also two hundred guards under him, and we take turns to take turns to rest. The people on my side will be on duty for ten days, and then Liu Yong and others will be on duty for ten days, and we will rest for ten days. For such a large-scale event, four hundred of us in two parts will act at the same time." Looking at his man, Leng Feng explained patiently.
"Well, what about the remaining one hundred people?" The daughter-in-law seemed to only talk about the four hundred people.
"The remaining 100 people were assigned to the prince, the four sons, and the princess to stand guard and protect them."
"Oh, I understand." Nodding, Chu Yang expressed his understanding.
After the meal, Leng Feng immediately arranged for people to go to the mansions of those adults to notify and deliver the letters.
———————————
The next day, all thirteen officials of the sixth rank and above in Dongzhou arrived at the palace on time.
"My minister pays homage to the lord. The lord is a thousand years old." The thirteen officials, headed by the aides Zhou Tian and Dong Hezhang, stood in two rows according to their ranks, and knelt in front of Chu Yang to salute.
"My lords, please sit down!" Chu Yang waved his hands after speaking.
"Yes!" In response, the thirteen adults sat on the chairs on both sides one by one.
"Come on, bring up the table!" Chu Yang glanced at the door, and ordered to lift the table.
"No!" In response, a soldier brought in three square tables and visited them in the middle of the hall.
"Serve the food!" Looking at the guards, Chu Yang called out to serve the food again.
"No!" In response, the soldier put three blood-stained cloth bags on the table, and then opened the cloth bags, revealing three bloody heads.
"Ah, this, this..." Seeing the true colors of these three dishes, all the adults were shocked. The timid ones turned pale with fright, some were so frightened that they collapsed on the chairs directly, and some were so frightened that they held on to the handles of the chairs and were speechless for a long time. For a moment, the entire hall was dead silent. There was no sound at all.
Seeing the pale faces of the thirteen people, Chu Yang snorted coldly. "Now, I will introduce the dishes on the table to the thirteen adults here!" As he spoke, Chu Yang took the list at hand. He said loudly: "The first dish, the chief executive - Lu Jiucheng, the second-rank official residence, has been an official for 20 years, embezzled three million taels of silver, five large boxes of jewelry, and three large boxes of antique calligraphy and paintings. He owns three thousand hectares of land, There are five courtyards. The second dish is the chief minister and the left counselor—Wang He, the third-rank official residence, 23 years as an official, embezzling 2.35 million taels of silver, three boxes of jewelry, and one box of antique calligraphy and paintings. One thousand hectares of land, three mansions. The third dish is Li Baoguo, the inspector, who has lived in the third rank for 25 years. He has embezzled 3.65 million taels of silver, four boxes of jewelry, and six boxes of antique calligraphy and paintings. Owning two thousand hectares of land and four mansions." His eyes swept over the faces of the thirteen people one by one, and Chu Yang introduced them word by word.
After listening to Chu Yang's introduction, the thirteen officials were completely shocked.
"Hmph, this king really admires these three old fellows, they are actually richer than this king, the king of Dongzhou. If this king doesn't kill them, it's really unreasonable! My lords, what do you think?" Everyone, Chu Yang asked with a smile.
Hearing this, the thirteen officials hurriedly got up and knelt down: "The minister is terrified!"
"It's right to be afraid. This king is the king of Dongzhou and the master of Dongzhou. If you are not afraid of this king, wouldn't this king be too useless as a prince?" Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, Chu Yang said as it should .
Hearing this, everyone remained silent, and no one dared to speak out.
"Come on, the Four Treasures of the Study Room!"
"No!" In response, guards immediately placed all the pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the table.
"Father said that as the parents of the officials and the people, you should be diligent in government, love the people, and fulfill your duties. However, this king walked around casually yesterday afternoon, and found a big fat mouse. This king is really very nice to you. Disappointed!" Having said this, Chu Yang's face darkened.
"Damn the humble minister!" With their heads lowered, everyone hastily admitted their mistake.
"Okay, I don't make things difficult for you, you just stay here obediently, and copy the admonitions of the emperor's officials a hundred times each, look at the three heads on the table, and copy them as you read. .So that you will firmly remember this day as a warning.”
"I obey!" In response, all the officials stood up in fear, sat back in their seats, took the paper and pens on the table, and the admonitions Chu Yang gave them, and began to copy them.
"I will copy them all carefully, and those who cannot finish copying a hundred times are not allowed to go home!" Looking at the crowd, Chu Yang said coldly.
"Yes!" In response, everyone immediately wrote vigorously.
"Zhou Tian, you are in charge of supervising them. Those who have copied a hundred times can leave. Those who do not write neatly and cut corners are also rewritten." Looking at his staff, Chu Yang said so.
"It's the prince!" Responding, Zhou Tian expressed his understanding.
"Dong Hezhang, you don't need to write it. This is the account of the three of them accepting bribes. Look at it. As the king, draw up a report and write down the details of these three people. The king should report it to the court as soon as possible, so that the father Send other officials over." Looking at another staff member, Chu Yang said so.
"It's the prince!" Dong Hezhang expressed his understanding in response.
"Well, it's finished and sent to my study!" After speaking, Chu Yang left with the maids and guards in the living room.
"Yes!" Dong Hezhang nodded again and again.
