Eunuch Gao took advantage of this time to call for the young eunuch beside him.
"Quickly inform the craftsmen of the Internal Affairs Office.”
"We'll create a brand new Dragon Case overnight.”
"Don't be negligent!"
Eunuch Gao was also surprised.
Since the beginning of the dynasty, there had never been a change in the golden thread Phoebe wood dragon table.
Many generations of emperors had worked on this Dragon Case, and they had been slapped at least 800 times, if not 1,000 times.
However…
Today, in a fit of anger, His Majesty actually smashed the golden thread Phoebe wood dragon case into pieces.
One could see the might of the Son of Heaven!
Yu Huatian could not help but break out in a cold sweat as he looked at the shattered Dragon Case.
With his internal strength, it would be easy for him to break ordinary wood.
It was impossible for him to use his internal strength to shatter the golden thread nanmu.
This was the first time he had seen such overbearing zhenqi.
Presumably, the current emperor would also have the upper hand against Ironguts Zhu Budian.
……
Cao Zhengchun strode into the throne room and cupped his hands.
"I am."
"Cao Zhengchun has been ordered to investigate Liu Jin and Gu Dayong's residence.”
"I'm here to report."
"I have already drafted the results of the search.”
"Please take a look, Your Majesty."
Cao Zhengchun took out the memorial and handed it over with both hands.
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, and Eunuch Gao immediately understood his intentions. He hurriedly went down to take the memorial.
"Well done."
"Get up."
"Stand aside and wait."
"Listen to Lord Liu's explanation later.”
"Yes."
The kneeling Eight Tigers Gang watched Cao Zhengchun stand on the left side of the court.
However, Cao Zhengchun was also looking at them, his eyes full of mockery and disdain.
Cao Zhengchun of the East Chamber and Yu Huatian of the West Chamber stood on both sides of the Emperor, with the officials in the middle.
They were like two gods of plague, but also like two bloodthirsty dogs.
Only Tian Zi, who was standing at the highest point, could restrain this vicious dog!
……
Eunuch Gao lowered his head slightly, opened the memorial, and read it aloud.
"Five hundred thousand taels of silver from Gu Dayong's mansion, plus the title deed, gold and silver jewelry, a total of one million taels of silver.”
"Ma Yongcheng's mansion was found to have 700,000 taels of silver without any background. Adding on the title deed, gold and silver jewelry, the total is roughly 1.5 million taels of silver.”
"One million taels of silver from Wei Bin's mansion. Including the title deed, gold and silver jewelry, a total of two million taels of silver.”
"Three hundred thousand taels of gold were found in Gao Feng's residence. Adding on the title deed, gold and silver jewelry, and so on, the total is roughly one million two hundred thousand taels of silver.”
"Also,"
"The Nine Dragon Jade Cup, the national treasure that was lost in the previous dynasty, was also found in Gao Feng's secret room.”
"Qiu Ju's mansion was found to have five hundred thousand taels of silver and five hundred thousand taels of gold. Including the title deed and the jewelry, the total is roughly two million taels of silver.”
"Eight hundred thousand taels of silver were found in Luo Xiang's residence. Including the title deed and the gold and silver jewelry, the total is roughly one million seven hundred thousand taels of silver.”
"One million taels of silver was found in Zhang Yong's residence. Including the title deed and the gold and silver jewelry, the total is roughly 1.8 million taels of silver.”
"Five million taels of silver and one million taels of gold were found in Liu Jin's residence. In addition to the title deed and the gold and silver jewelry, the total is roughly ten million taels of silver!”
Eunuch Gao's back was already wet after he finished reading.
These eight people were so bold to actually accumulate wealth like this!
Putting away the memorial, Eunuch Gao handed it to Zhu Houzhao.
"Let's calculate."
"How much did the eight of you take in total?”
Zhu Houzhao threw the memorial in front of Liu Jin with a cold expression.
The Eight Tiger Gang knelt on the ground, motionless and trembling.
"Investigate for me!"
Zhu Houzhao roared, his voice reverberating in the Golden Palace.
"Please calm down, Your Majesty."
The courtiers in the throne room knelt down again and shouted in unison.
Liu Jin had already lost all hope. His hands trembled as he picked up the memorial.
Moments later.
He replied with a trembling voice.
"A total of 21.2 million taels."
Zhu Houzhao's face was gloomy as he walked down step by step.
"Tell me!"
"This twenty million taels of silver!"
"How many Tiger Cannons can my Great Ming build?”
"How many handguns can we build?"
"How many warships can we build?"
"Speak!"
Liu Jin's tears fell quietly, and he was completely disheartened.
"I am."
"I have failed to live up to your grace. I deserve to die ten thousand times."
Zhu Houzhao wanted nothing more than to tear him into pieces.
This was the wealth of the people of the Ming Dynasty, but it actually fell into the hands of a few eunuchs!
"Where is the Minister of Revenue?"
Qian Ning shivered and quickly stepped forward.
"Your subject is here."
"How much silver does the Ministry of Revenue have?”
Qian Ning replied.
"Your Majesty."
"The Ministry of Revenue can use less than five million taels of silver.”
Zhu Houzhao nodded and turned to look at the eight of them.
"Sure,"
"Just Liu Jin's private property alone is twice as much as the national treasury?”
"Are the eight of you trying to overturn the heavens?”
The Eight Tigers Gang knelt down and kowtowed, shouting for His Majesty to forgive them.
But what was the use?
In the end, he would not be able to escape death.
Zhu Houzhao pulled out the Tai'e Sword, and the sword hummed.
"Gao Feng?"
When he saw the Emperor call out to him, he was immediately dumbfounded.
"The guilty subject is here."
"The Nine Dragon Jade Cup is with you?"
"How dare you."
Zhu Houzhao's words were calm, but there was a hidden killing intent.
"I, I was also blinded.”
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
As he spoke.
Gao Feng's left and right hands began to slap her own big mouth, beating herself until her nose was black and blue.
"He even wants His Majesty to acknowledge Liu Jin as his second father?”
"Hmm?"
Gao Feng was dumbfounded. Those were just words she said to flatter Liu Jin, but Yu Huatian had recorded them in the Impermanence Book.
The news reached His Majesty's ears.
Gao Feng did not expect to live anymore. She only wanted to die quickly.
In his gaze, he saw the Sky Lifting Pillar beside him.
He didn't know where he got the courage, but he closed his eyes and made up his mind to slam into the pillar.
However, the Taia sword was even faster. With a flash of cold light, Gao Feng's legs were cut off in unison, and she wailed in pain.
"If I let you die, it will not resolve the hatred in my heart!”
"Pass down the order!"
"The Eight Tigers Gang led by Liu Jin, all their relatives and families will be beheaded!”
"The maids and servants in the residence will be assigned to the Internal Affairs Bureau for re-punishment!”
"As for the eight of you!"
"Where is Wang Shouren?"
A person flashed out from the team and answered with a token in his hand.
"Your subject is here."
"I order you to immediately allocate 50,000 taels of silver from the Ministry of Revenue to Liaodong for disaster relief.”
"Also,"
"Chop off their hands and feet, cut off their tongues, and feed them with chaff every day.”
"Bring them all to Liaodong."
"Remember, these eight people can only be killed after appeasing the people!”
"I am."
"Understood."
Wang Shouren cupped his hands and left the throne room to deal with the disaster relief.
"Send someone to count the dirty silver of these eight people!”
"Retreat!"
Zhu Houzhao waved his sleeves and walked toward the back door of the throne room, ignoring the shouts of the others.
"Farewell, Your Majesty."
