It is normal for others to have a low level and have never met the emperor.

But the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture and a fourth-rank official.

At this level, it is not possible to appoint a document by the Ministry of Personnel.

Instead, you have to go through the cabinet. Since you have passed through the cabinet, of course you have to go through the emperor.

The prefect is a high-ranking official, and he has always met the sage.

Wu Shijiang stayed there.

He rubbed his eyes hard.

Zhang Ruqing, who was on the side, continued to curse: "You even dare to move the prefect, you are going to make a fuss!"

The other officials were so angry that they were all staring at each other.

But Wu Shijiang had already rolled and crawled in front of Chongzhen.

He widened his eyes and mouth, and his expression seemed to have seen a ghost.

Everyone looked at Wu Shijiang in surprise.

Master Wu, are you okay?

Wu Shijiang's throat was dry and he squeezed out a sentence with difficulty: "I...I see...I see Your Majesty!"

As soon as he said this, everyone's chin almost fell to the ground.

It was like a thunderbolt from the clear sky, and everyone was cut to the point.

It is quiet and you can even hear the sound of a needle falling to the ground.

Wu Shijiang put his forehead on the back of his hand, buried it with his long sleeves, and said in horror: "I... I have not been able to welcome the emperor. Please forgive me!"

The others then reacted and quickly knelt on the ground and shouted: "Long live your life when I meet your Majesty!"

Zheng Chengzhi's face suddenly turned pale as paper. He remembered the words he said at the post station that day, and wanted to sew his mouth up.

Li Rucai, the magistrate of Chenliu County, lay on the ground, his mind was blank.

Deadly quiet, still deadly quiet.

Chongzhen sat there, his face covered with dark clouds.

At this moment, everyone was trembling, and the cold sweat was like a waterfall behind them.

Wu Shijiang said again: "I don't know that Your Majesty's Holy Lord is here, and I deserve to die!"

Chongzhen said concisely: "Those who do not know are innocent!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"What I said is that I don't know that I'm coming, I haven't gone to greet me, I'm not guilty."

Wu Shijiang also breathed a sigh of relief. His mind was spinning quickly and he suddenly glanced at the silver in the box.

That is to say, the income from buying public land is the money of the court.

It cannot be said that it is distributed to the officials present.

The emperor probably couldn't find it.

Thinking of this, Wu Shijiang felt even more relieved.

Chongzhen glanced at him and said coldly: "Zheng Chengzhi! Get out of here!"

Zheng Chengzhi was so scared that his legs were weak and could not stand up. He could only climb over, climb to the emperor, and then said in shock: "My...I am..."

"The 100,000 mu of fertile land I want is a 150,000 tael per mu of fertile land you said, totaling 150,000 taels. I gave you 10,000 taels, isn't it still a shortage of 140,000 taels?"

As soon as Chongzhen said this, Wu Shijiang almost jumped up.

Suddenly, my whole body felt like I fell into an ice cellar, and my scalp became numb.

"Yes... no! Your Majesty, the fertile land in the world is yours, you don't have to hand it over..." Zheng Chengzhi might have been really scared and spoke incoherently.

Chongzhen grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it over. The teacup hit Zheng Chengzhi. Zheng Chengzhi screamed and did not dare to hide.

"You are so brave!" The emperor was furious in a blink of an eye. "Who will tell me what the 140,000 taels of money is? Who should I give to this 140,000 taels!"

Everyone dares to speak, and everyone burys their heads between their long sleeves.

"Wu Shijiang! Say it!"

"Your Majesty... I... I don't know what kind of payment is, your Majesty. I don't know what kind of payment is. These are all collected by Zheng Chengzhi privately and have nothing to do with me."

Zheng Chengzhi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty forgives your crimes. These are what the Prime Minister Wu and Zhang Zhizhou and others told me. I am also acting on orders, and I have no choice. I am forced. I am just executing their orders. Your Majesty!"

Zhang Ruqing immediately cursed: "Nonsense! Zheng Chengzhi, you dare to frame your superiors, you are so brave, you dare to deceive Your Majesty!"

Wu Shijiang also had red eyes, like a vicious dog. He rushed over, grabbed Zheng Chengzhi's black hat, and tore it off, then used his nails to tear Zheng Chengzhi's face, and cursed angrily: "You despicable and shameless villain!"

Chongzhen hurriedly said, "Pull it go!"

The Jinyiwei immediately went to pull Wu Shijiang away.

Several blood marks have been torn out of Zheng Chengzhi's face.

It is hard to imagine that Wu Shijiang, who looked like a good leader in front of everyone, looked like a crazy beast at this time.

Zheng Chengzhi knelt there and cried: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You want to be the master of yours, and every sentence you say is true!"

"Your Majesty, don't be deceived and deceived by this shameless person. Your Majesty, when I am on duty, I work diligently and always want to implement the new policy for Your Majesty. I dare not forget Your Majesty's teachings at all times. I am willing to smash your Majesty to pieces and die!

As he said that, he began to hit the ground with his head, thumping.

Chongzhen sat back, as if frost had formed on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "You talk about your loyal minister, what you say is not the final word!"

Soon, the Jinyiwei had already returned from behind, holding booklets in his hand.

"Your Majesty, this was found in Wu Shijiang's study."

When Wu Shijiang saw it, he suddenly felt weak on the ground, as if all his strength was drained.

Chongzhen took it and looked at it page by page.

"Okay! Very good! 2,000 taels per person! Is it comfortable to hold these silver in your hands?"

Chongzhen roared in a low voice: "Shame! The shame of the Ming Dynasty!"

The blue veins on his forehead were burst out: "Come on! Push all these people, everyone! They were all cut! They all cut!"

As soon as the emperor said this, everyone started to wail: "Your Majesty, please spare me! Your Majesty, please spare me! Your Majesty... I am wronged, I am crushed to pieces for Your Majesty..."

Chongzhen angrily slapped the table, pointed at the Jinyiwei, and shouted: "What are you still standing? You drag them all out and chop them up! Just chop them up at the gate of the prefect's office!"

"yes!"

The Jinyiwei immediately dragged all these people out.

Some people still want to struggle, but obviously cannot break free.

They wailed heartbrokenly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! I am wronged! Your Majesty..."

Not long after, everyone was dragged out.

The screams outside slowly diminished.

Heads rolled on the ground, and blood gathered together.

Some people still wanted to run away, but were knocked to the ground by a stick, helped up again, and slashed their heads with one knife.

A total of 33 heads!

The screams here alarmed the nearby residents. Many people wanted to watch, but were stopped by the Shenwu Guard.

Soon, Luo Yangxing came in.

"Your Majesty, all cut off."

"Tell me the oral order, go! Call the left governor Liu Yuyou and the right governor He Zhongren, as well as the censor Jiang Kongsui, the commander commander, and the King of Zhou, all call me! Go immediately!"
Chapter completed!
