In the end, Tianji Pavilion was targeted, and after some investigation, there was that box of dossiers!
and so.
All of this is caused by desire and greed...!
-
The next day, early in the morning.
At the end of the year, some officials from all over the country have to come to Jingcheng to report on their work.
Therefore, the number of officials gathered in front of the Tai Chi Hall in the early morning was much more than in the past.
Sunny weather.
Although it was mid-winter, the sun was shining and the wind had stopped, so it wasn't actually too cold.
but.
The faces of some ministers looked a little pale as if they had caught a cold from the cold...
Ning Chen stood at the front of the queue.
While greeting the familiar Li Jing and others, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a strange arc...
Soon after, morning began.
When the officials saluted routinely and raised their heads, they immediately saw the slightly gloomy face of the Son of Heaven!
For an instant.
Some people are puzzled, while some people are sweating profusely in an instant...!
I saw Li Er on the high platform.
At this moment, he was staring at the ministers below with a gloomy face.
The eyes are as sharp as a goshawk, and a sharp cold light is brewing in them.
Press your hands on the armrests of the dragon chair on both sides.
It seems that at any moment, there will be sudden anger, setting off a bloody storm...!
Li Er.
Today is to settle accounts...!

The author says:
The next chapter will be written immediately, probably at 05:30, the author has just finished a 2000-word paper, and now his hands are a little twitching, so I will write the book after a break, alas...
Chapter 510 Your Majesty, guilty ministers and others plead guilty, plead guilty...! .
"Your Majesty, I have the original performance!"
Above the Tai Chi Hall, at the moment when all the ministers were stared at by Li Er, their hearts were getting hairy.
A sound suddenly sounded from the courtiers' train!
Subsequently.
An official in a purple robe walked to the center of the hall and bowed his hands in salute!
Minister of the Ministry of Punishment of Shangshu Province, room temperature...!
"Report to Your Majesty!"
"Since His Majesty issued an order to strictly investigate the domestic smuggling and selling of salt and iron half a month ago."
"Until now."
"In half a month, a total of 912 wanted smugglers were arrested, tens of thousands of tons of salt and nearly [-] catties of iron were seized...!"
boom!
As soon as this remark came out, the entire hall was erupting instantly!
Just half a month, just half a month.
The Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple, with the cooperation of Tianji Pavilion's information and the garrisons of various government offices, arrested nearly a thousand people!
Such efficiency is simply outrageous!
All the officials in the hall couldn't believe their ears.
Those smugglers who usually hide their clothes and shrink their heads like mice that can burrow.
So many people were arrested in such a short period of time...? !
Unbelievable!
The faces of all the ministers showed disbelief.
And Chang Wen's voice, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, has already begun to ring in the hall again:
"More than [-]% of the smugglers in our Tang Empire have been arrested!"
"The remaining people also fled separately, hiding in dark corners everywhere, trying to survive the rest of their lives!"
"Its smuggling organization has been completely dismantled, and it can no longer be regrouped, causing disaster to the world!"
After half a month of bloody wind and rain.
The group of smugglers who were originally extremely arrogant in the Tang Empire, even to the point of rampant.
Most of them have already been thrown into the sky prison, or are on the way to the capital under escort.
As for the remaining fast guys.
With the existence of Tianji Pavilion, it is impossible for them to escape punishment and survive for the rest of their lives...
And right now.
Zhang Henian, Minister of Dali Temple, also walked quickly to the center of the hall, and before all the ministers came back to their senses, he said loudly:
"Report to Your Majesty!"
"In addition to hunting down and arresting wanted smugglers, many officials suspected of participating in the smuggling and selling of salt and iron have also been seized!"
"Such as Lingnan Gaozhou Inspector, Longyou Hezhou Biejia, Jiangnan Hezhou Sima and others."
"They all participated in the smuggling of salt and iron, openly sheltered the gangsters, have been investigated and escorted to Dali Temple in the capital...!"
When these words were spoken from Dali Siqing's mouth.
Nuo Da's court hall fell into silence and dead silence in an instant.
Some officials who were already pale.
At this moment, it was all white, and even some people's faces turned green from fright!
seized officials...
If it was said that the smugglers were only arrested before, some people would panic.
But now, some local officials have been arrested and paid attention to Dali Temple!
As such.
But it's not just to make some people panic...
It made them tremble with fear, and the panic was uncontrollable...!
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, how should these officials be punished?!"
Zhang Henian looked up at the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, and spoke respectfully.
And Li Er.
After listening to the words of the two senior officials, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice and Dali Siqing.
The look is still the same as before.
His face was as sinking as water, and it seemed that anger and killing intent were still brewing...!
"How to punish?"
Li Er suddenly spoke, his voice was a little hoarse, which made people feel numb!
"The law of the country is there, and the punishment is according to the provisions!"
"The one who should be beheaded, the one who should be ransacked, the one who should be exiled, the one who should be exterminated...!"
"They dared to do something that colluded with officials, businessmen and bandits. No wonder they were beheaded by me!"
In the laws of Datang.
Those who commit such a crime that shakes the foundation of the country generally have only two consequences.
Either the Chizhu Nine Clans, or beheaded and exiled!
As for being dismissed from office, or demoted to common people, etc., that doesn't exist...
Smuggling salt and iron is a heinous crime!
Even if the emperor grants amnesty, these people will never escape the fate of being beheaded!
"I know that there are definitely more officials involved in this matter than these!"
"Perhaps among all of you present, there are some people who do such a thing!"
Li Er suddenly got up.
The hands naturally dropped down, the magnificent and domineering aura of being an emperor, at this moment, permeated the whole body!
"If you plead guilty, the punishment can be reduced!"
"If you still want to continue to cover up and try to confuse this matter!"
"Then don't let me arrest you!"
"Otherwise, once you are caught by me, your family will be confiscated, your family will be wiped out, and you will never show mercy...!"
Hear these words.
In the grand Tai Chi hall, the Adam's Apple of some officials trembled slightly.
They knew very well that this was the last chance the emperor gave them!
If you seize this last chance, you may still have a life left.
If not caught.
The result is definitely very miserable...!
As for whether he can fish in troubled waters and let himself escape with his life.
They don't even dare to think about it!
Tianji Pavilion, since it was able to almost eliminate the smuggling forces within the empire within half a month.
It is absolutely possible to dig them out one by one...!
and so.
If you want to live, you can only confess your sins!
At this moment, many people's eyes changed.
And in the next second, several people stumbled to the center of the hall, and then knelt heavily!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...!"
"The guilty minister waits to plead guilty, the guilty minister waits to plead guilty..."
