    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 230

    ? Prime Minister Zuo Wang Huchen took advantage of the opportunity to track down the murderer, uncovered old cases, searched more than 20 families, and confiscated countless gold, silver and jewels from land and manors.

    ? Wang Huchen was born in a poor family and has always been extremely clean and honest. He did not associate with many important officials of the dynasty, so he became a lone official in the court.

    As always, he refused to take any of the estates, manors and jewels seized this time, and ordered them all to be counted and sealed up, and turned over to the state treasury.

    "Your Highness, this is the roster of gold, silver and jewels from the estates and manors that Prime Minister Zuo has handed over this time. Please have a look."

    ? Prime Minister Zuo Wang Huchen personally sat down to settle the payment, worried that someone would enrich his own pockets, so the matter of submitting the memorial was handed over to Yan Jing, a young official he valued.

    The prince has now handled government affairs on his behalf with the old emperor's acquiescence. He naturally knows that the treasury is empty and the situation is not optimistic, so he often worries about it.

    Now that he heard that Prime Minister Zuo Wang Huchen confiscated some things to fill the treasury, the prince also showed joy on his face, and hurriedly looked through it.

    But when the prince got the thick roster like a book, he was still shocked.

    He flipped through the pages without moving his expression, and as he flipped through the pages, the smile on his face slowly faded away, turning gloomy like water.

    With constant internal and external troubles, the imperial court can be said to be extremely poor, but the wealth of these families has greatly exceeded the prince's imagination.

    He did not expect that so many estates, manors, gold, silver and jewels were confiscated after only confiscating more than 20 unrecognizable families, which opened the prince's eyes.

    "Yan Jing, is the record accurate?"

    After the prince looked through it roughly, he still seemed to be dreaming and couldn't believe his eyes.

    "His Royal Highness, these were collected by Prime Minister Zuo personally, and all the collected items are recorded in the book."

    Yan Jing thought that the prince suspected that they were pocketing their own money, so he hurriedly explained.

    "It's just that some shady families are very rich, and I don't know how many people's fat and anointing those big families have secretly searched for."

    When the prince said this, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes that could not be concealed, and his determination to eradicate the aristocratic family was further strengthened.

    Because just relying on the salaries of these family officials, even in a few lifetimes, there is no way to accumulate so much wealth.

    Now that they have so much wealth, it can only explain one problem, that is to enrich their own pockets behind the back of the court.

    Because the prince has now completely seen the true colors of these aristocratic families. They don't want to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, but instead seek their own self-interest in the name of the court.

    If these family officials can think for the court everywhere, why is the country corrupt and the situation worsening now.

    "Where are the people of these families now?"

    The prince now hates these family members deeply. It is precisely because of the existence of moths like them that Nuo Da's dynasty has become riddled with holes.

    "Reporting to Your Highness, all these people are now being detained in the Beiya Prison."

    The prince said viciously: "Order all the owls to show their heads to the public, so as to comfort the hearts of the people!"

    "You do this yourself." The prince added.

    "Where is Prime Minister Left?"

    "Prime Minister Zuo is too tired, so don't bother him with such a trivial matter. Just tell him after you've dealt with it."

    "No!"

    After Yan Jing received the order from the prince, he left immediately and took charge of this matter in person.

    After seeing Yan Jing leave, the crown prince showed a triumphant smile, fearing that after this incident, Prime Minister Zuo would have to be tied to the same boat as himself.

    ?There are more than 2,000 people imprisoned from the main and branch branches of more than 20 families, making the prisons in the Beiya overcrowded.

    These people who used to live in fine clothes and fine food are now suddenly thrown into prison, and they all become panicked.

    After so many years of marriage, the various families have long been intertwined. When these families were detained in the prison, many families outside were already running around to intercede.

    After all, in the eyes of these families, countless wealth was confiscated by Prime Minister Zuo Wang Huchen, and they also recognized it when they spent money to eliminate disasters.

    After all, these families are based on some old cases, and it is not a serious crime of collaborating with the enemy, and the crime does not entail death.

    However, what these families did not expect was that YanJing, a young official in the prime minister's mansion, issued an order to show everyone's heads to the public.

    Yan Jingshen was highly regarded by Prime Minister Zuo Wang Huchen. In the Prime Minister's Mansion, it could be said that no one dared to offend him except Prime Minister You and Prime Minister Zuo.

    Now that he ordered these people to be shown to the public, the officials in charge of the Beiya naturally did not dare to disobey, thinking that it was the instruction of Zuo Prime Minister Wang Huchen, after all, Wang Huchen also arrested them.

    Soon, more than 2,000 people who were sent to prison were all detained at Caishikou in the east of the city. Under the watchful eyes of the public, they raised their knives and dropped their heads one after another.

    "Wronged! Wronged!"

    "Help, my uncle is a prince, you can't kill me."

    Facing the vicious executioner, these pampered and well-to-do family members are also terrified.

    However, under the orders of the prince, Yan Jing ignored these begging for mercy and executed him with a blank expression.

    "good!"

    "What a kill!"

    The crowd of onlookers gathered more and more. When they saw the heads of the once high-ranking family members fall to the ground, they clamored and applauded.

    "Master Zuoxiang, Lord Zuoxiang, Lord Yan Jingyan is going to kill all the people from the aristocratic family that he has captured at Caishikou in the east of the city. You should go and have a look."

    ? Prime Minister Zuo Wang Huchen these days, under the banner of tracking down the murderer, has paid off the small family, and he is exhausted.

    But before he could catch his breath, someone came to report that Yan Jing, an official he valued, had killed people in the east of the city.

    "What?!"

    After Wang Huchen heard the servant's report, he also stood up abruptly, his face full of astonishment.

    He just wanted to take advantage of the trend to raid some small families, and replenish the depleted treasury by the way.

    But in fact, Wang Huchen didn't want to kill people, because he knew that the relationship between the various families was intricate, and if he killed someone, he would offend a large number of dead people, and it would become a situation of endless death.

    Because although the civil servant group and the military and military family confront each other from time to time, they still maintain a delicate balance on the surface, but now this balance is about to be broken.

    What he didn't expect was that without informing him, Yan Jing wanted to show the heads of these aristocratic families in full view.

    If these people were really killed, even if it wasn't his Wang Huchen's order, he caught them, supervised and killed those he valued and trusted the most, and others would put the blame on him.  on the head.

    Thinking of this, a look of anger appeared on Wang Huchen's face. This was simply pushing Wang Huchen to the crater. He would not only become the target of public criticism, but also become the object of criticism.

    Because the power of the aristocratic family in the court is still strong, he, the Zuo Prime Minister, is unable to support himself, but he did not expect such a thing to happen.

    Wang Huchen hurried to Caishikou in the east of the city, trying to prevent Yan Jing from beheading more than 2,000 people.

    It's a pity that he was one step too late in the end. When he arrived, there was no one alive except for the piled corpses and blood flowing.

    "Master Zuoxiang, these heinous people have all been executed. I was about to report to your house, but I didn't expect you to come in person"

    "Yan Jing, you are confused!"

    Seeing Yan Jing who was still kept in the dark, Wang Huchen angrily reprimanded him in the street.

    Thinking that he has completely torn face with the aristocratic family now, Wang Huchen feels tired.

    Now I have no way to get out of the whole body, I can only follow the future prince, otherwise, I will die without a place to die.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
