The emperor was silent, but the ministers with a keen sense of politics smelled that this was the silence of death before the storm came.

On May 20th, the gate of the governor of Jiangling Prefecture Tang Weilin was kicked open by the Imperial City Guard. The servants who tried to stop the Imperial City Guard were beaten to pieces on the spot. More than a dozen iron-faced Imperial City Guards dressed in black brocade robes broke into Tang Weilin's home directly.

Tang Weilin was playing shameless things with his concubines in the backyard. He was furious when he heard the sound outside and was about to have an attack. His butler's head had been thrown into the backyard, and blood was splashed all over the floor, scaring the concubines with graceful figures and exposed clothes so pale.

The expression on Xie Dahai's face was a bit cold like Hanbing in front of anyone, except for being timid in front of the emperor. It might be more appropriate for him to call Xie Hanbing.

"We are the emperor's personal army and are ordered to do things. Where is the prefect of Tang Weilin and Tang?"

Tang Weilin's face was already pale. When he heard that the emperor's personal army was coming, he quickly knelt down. The officials of the Song Dynasty were not like the later generations of Braided Kingdom. He would kneel when he heard the emperor's order. The Song Dynasty did not kneel on informal occasions, but he would give a big gift.

At this time, Tang Weilin knelt down and was completely frightened.

"The weak minister Tang Weilin!"

"Very good, take it away!"

Immediately, several imperial guards came over and escorted Tang Weilin.

"I don't know what the crime is!"

"I don't know what the crime is? You will know it after going to the prison in the capital."

When Tang Weilin heard that he was going to go to the Heavenly Prison, he was so scared that he urinated. He quickly screamed injustice, but the front teeth were knocked off by the imperial guards and fainted.

"take away!"

Zhao Huan had just finished breakfast, and today he was planning to discuss matters with the prime ministers of the two prefectures. As soon as he went out, Xie Dahai came to ask for a meeting.

"Official family, this is the list of confessions and the level of officials that Tang Weilin confessed."

Zhao Huan took it and frowned slightly: "Is he the biggest official position on this list?"

"The official family forgives the crime. We have used various methods and can only learn these people from his mouth!"

Zhao Huan pursed his lips. It seemed that Tang Weilin was still a tough guy.

"Take me to see him."

Zhao Huan came all the way to the Heavenly Prison. Tang Weilin was limp in the prison and was beaten to pieces. When he saw the emperor coming, he quickly got up: "The criminal minister bowed to the emperor!"

Zhao Huan kneaded the list into a lump and threw it on Tang Weilin's face.

"Explain it honestly to me!"

"Son of the Emperor, the criminals know that the crime is unforgivable. They have written out all the officials involved in this money-paying incident. The criminals do not ask the emperor for forgiveness!"

His righteous look made Zhao Huan feel that these scholars are really worthy of being too timid.

"Do you think I can't do anything to you if you don't say it? You, a prefect, are so brave, dare to swallow my salary! If you don't give me honest explanations today, I will kill your nine clans!"

When it comes to killing the nine clans, Tang Weilin's face immediately changed.

The reason why he didn't say anything was because he knew that if he said it, his whole family would die, but now the emperor was even more cruel. He would kill the nine clans as soon as he came up, even more cruel than those people.

"Your Majesty, I know that the crime is so evil. If I don't tell you, it's all for Your Majesty!"

Zhao Huan kicked Tang Weilin over and said, "For me? You said fuckingly as if you were a loyal minister. You greedy for my money and said it was for me! Do you dare to be more shameless!"

"Your Majesty, do you know how many officials involved are?"

“How many are there?”

"From the bank instructions to the lowest-level officials, there are a total of thousands of officials involved! If Your Majesty wants to investigate deeply, will you still punish these thousand people? Your Majesty, I heard from the guilty minister that this matter will be borne by the guilty minister, and beg Your Majesty to give up."

The young emperor was angry: "Are you my minister or theirs?"

"Your Majesty, killing a few husbands in the court will not affect anything. At worst, it will be a big deal. However, if you investigate this matter deeply, you will not face as simple as a few husbands. Which official in the Song Dynasty is clean? If the emperor investigates this matter thoroughly, it will inevitably cause chaos!"

"Are you warning me?"

Tang Weilin looked like he was willing to sacrifice his life: "The criminals dare not. The criminals are sharing his worries for Your Majesty and reminds Your Majesty to stop at the right time. Your Majesty simply wants an explanation. The criminals are willing to bear the charge this time. Please don't investigate further!"

Zhao Huan smiled and said, "What if I don't just want an explanation?"

Tang Weilin suddenly raised his head and looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty is going to be an enemy of the world."

"Tianxia! Whose world is this world?"

"It is the world of Your Majesty, the world of scholars and officials, and the world ruled by saints!"

Zhao Huan sneered. It seemed that if the knife was not sheathed, they would not know who was the one in the world.

The scholars and officials and the emperor jointly rule the world!

What an open-minded sentence sounds? There is shit hidden inside!

It's time for them to realize that they were spoiled by them too much before!

"Tang Weilin, as long as you say it, I can give up on your family."

Tang Weilin shook his head, his tone was much more plain, and he seemed to have seen through it, and he thought it was open: "It's useless, Your Majesty, if I call it out, my family will die miserably."

If those people were exposed, let alone the nine clans, even the ancestral tombs would be dug out. Anyway, it was all about the nine clans, so he felt it didn't matter, just that he didn't want the ancestral tombs to be dug out.

"What if I send heavy troops to protect them!"

Tang Weilin's eyes, which had already been desperate, suddenly flashed with light: "Your Majesty is serious?"

If the emperor sent the imperial guards to guard his family, it would be completely different. At least the danger was much lowered. After all, after the emperor fought a war, the imperial guards were undoubtedly the emperor's people.

"You have no jokes."

"As long as your Majesty can protect the family of the guilty minister, the guilty minister is willing to call it out, but Your Majesty must be mentally prepared."

Zhao Huan laughed furiously. The emperor interrogated his ministers, but he was actually warned by his ministers.

After reading the list confessed by Tang Weilin, there were not a thousand people, but there were more than three hundred people.

"The criminals only know these people, and the rest of the criminals do not know them."

"It's okay, that's enough."

The emperor smiled with satisfaction and protected Tang Weilin's family? When Tang Weilin was embezzling the front-line military pay and food transportation, did he ever think about the family of the front-line soldiers? Does Tang Weilin's family know about him?

Of course, those who don’t know are not guilty, but what if they know?

I don’t believe that Tang Weilin’s wife and concubines don’t know that their husbands are collecting black money!

With this list of extended upwards, the Imperial City Department can capture more people.

Tang Weilin said: "Do you dare to ask your Majesty will deal with these people like this?"

"Of course, all of them will be executed. Do you still have to pay for the embezzlement of my money?"
Chapter completed!
