Chapter 378 How dare he

Immediately, someone called the housekeeper and sent him to take people to check around the inn.

As a result, the housekeeper drove two carriages when he came back, and when Prefect Wu saw the corpse, he almost fainted.

All died, he spent so much money to train dead soldiers, all died overnight, this is his reliance, all gone.

He is so distressed, quickly ask the housekeeper to take people out of the city quietly, and bury them secretly.

He sat in the study with red and swollen eyes, lost any mood, sat down and stood up, stood up and sat down, and finally ran to the bookcase, twisted a bottle, and a dark space appeared on the wall.

He took out a big box from inside, and inside was a box full of bank notes, all of which had a denomination of ten thousand taels.

It can be seen how much people's fat and people's anointment he has collected in Liangzhou these years?

Gritting his teeth, he took out half of the silver bill from inside, then put the box back to its original position, and put the silver bill in his arms.

As soon as the butler came back, he went to his private treasury again, and picked out a lot of rare treasures from it. He didn't even eat breakfast, and hurried to Kejian.

In the inn, the emperor and the others got up, so naturally Qiao Mai couldn't hide this matter.

So he told the truth one by one, the old emperor's beard was raised in anger, he slapped the table and angrily said.

"How dare he? I'm so **** off, I'm so **** off."

"A lot of dead men came last night, all of which were dealt with by my pet. I don't know what he will do next."

"Others are the first to salute before the soldiers. He is the first soldier, and he may come to the ceremony soon. After all, the donkey is poor and knows that we are not easy to mess with."

Several people sat and drank tea in the inn without going out.

After a while, the shopkeeper of the inn went up to the third floor. After seeing Qiao Mai and the others, although he looked natural, his clenched hands showed his nervousness and panic.

"Several guests, my lord wants to meet you, don't you know?"

The old emperor was angry, "Your lord? Who is it?"

"That's right, it's the prefect of Wu, Mr. Wu"

"I don't know, I don't see"

The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, but he didn't leave. He just stood there and continued talking.

"My lord is the magistrate of Liangzhou, and he sincerely wants to make friends with some of them."

"I don't know, I thought your lord was the emperor"

The shopkeeper was sweating on his forehead when he heard this, how dare these few say, the emperor? It's okay to be an emperor, but my lord wants to be one, but I can't.

"This inn belongs to my family"

"You mean, if we don't see each other, we can't stay in the hotel?"

"No, it's not"

"Let him go, go far away, don't think that others don't know what he does, be careful that one day he won't be able to eat and walk around"

Just like that, the shopkeeper was driven away, and Wu Zhifu gritted his teeth angrily and stomped away.

One plan failed, so he made a living, they lived in his inn, for cutting weeds, why not?

The emperor and the others were upstairs, watching the prefect of Wu go away. When it was dark, Jin Longwei quietly returned to the inn. The emperor arranged a task for them, and they were ready to act tonight.

As for Wu Zhifu, he also explained to the shopkeeper that he will have a fire roasted guest tonight.

He is really vicious. Except for Qiao Mai and the others, there are people living on the second floor and the first floor. The shopkeeper actually sent a guy to pour oil on the fire in the middle of the night, transfer all their own people away, and then prepare to set it on fire.

If Qiao Mai hadn't made Heizi stare at them, the fire would have started.

Just as a fellow was holding a torch to light firewood quietly, Heizi opened his mouth from behind and bit off the man's neck with one bite.

The torch fell to the ground and was stamped out by its big hoof. The people waiting outside were worried and planned to come in to check, but unexpectedly a black shadow rushed out from the inn and killed the people outside one by one.

Under the moonlight, many corpses were lined up on the street.

Emperor and the others didn’t actually sleep, they just waited in the room with the lights turned off. After screams came from outside, he sent guards downstairs to check.

The returning guard reported to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the first floor is full of firewood and kerosene,"

The emperor gritted his teeth, "This **** actually wants to burn us to death. There are quite a few residents downstairs, and they are so vicious. In their eyes, human life is worth nothing, you bastard!"

The emperor actually said foul language and scolded people, Qiao Maichi laughed.

"Come on, how many of these corrupt officials are good? If they were sympathetic to the people, they wouldn't do this. What's the rush?"

At the same time, at the mansion of the prefect of Wu, Jin Longwei led officers and soldiers outside the city of Liangzhou, and surrounded the whole mansion. In the middle of the night, ghosts and wolves in Wu's mansion cried and howled until dawn, and found silver, more than 600,000 taels, and countless jewelry In fact, there are hundreds of ginseng for ordinary people, and there are several million taels of banknotes in the secret box.

The emperor immediately decreed that the main perpetrators of the Wu family should be executed, and all other personnel should be dispatched to the bitter cold land, which is still not enough to kill them all.

The prefect of Liangzhou City, the emperor had already made preparations and sent Qin Yide, Lu Ruyi's husband, to take over.

Before he came, the entire Liangcheng Prefecture was temporarily managed by the garrison, and all property was escorted to the capital by heavy troops and turned over to the state treasury.

At the same time, those who colluded with the prefect of Wu also ransacked their homes and distributed them.

Punishment for accepting bribes, and severe punishment for accepting bribes!

On the lobby, Wu Zhifu finally met a few people, and there is still something he doesn't understand at this time.

No wonder he missed, what did he use to fight the emperor?

That was the Golden Dragon Guard, and even the hidden guards were far behind. Coupled with the mysterious Mrs. Qiao beside the emperor, the prefect Wu had no choice but to admit it.

He had heard that the emperor traveled south, so he had been cautious, but he was defeated in the end.

On the day of the execution, the people in Liangzhou City almost erupted. The hateful Wu Zhifu was finally going to die. How could they not be excited? They all carried baskets and waited at the entrance of Caishi.

As soon as the Wu family went to the guillotine, the people who stepped down began to throw rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, and stones on it.

Anyway, it is the death penalty, whether it is the punishment officer or the executioner, they don't care, even if they are thrown to death, they will still make up for it in the end to ensure that they really die.

I have to say that with the death of Wu Zhifu, the air in Liangzhou City is fresh.

Prefect Wu has a lot of property in his hands, and many of them have been checked and confiscated. Two brothels, five gamblers, and his relationship have also been confiscated. Naturally, these places in Liangzhou are much less.

This mess is waiting for the new magistrate, they have no intention of continuing to take care of it, packed up their bags, and left in a carriage.

Being here for more than half a month and dealing with a large number of corrupt officials, everyone is not as excited as before.

The old emperor was old after all. After this matter was over, he was in a relaxed state of mind and actually slept all the way. The queen had to accompany him in their car.

It was rare that Qiao Mai and Yuan Jiaqi could sit alone together and look at the scenery from the window.

"Miss, if we don't have you this time, we will all have to confess."

"If you talk too much, it will be as tasteless as water. The emperor brought us here just for safety. Besides, it's not my credit. Heizi is the hardest one."

The sunspot on the collar rolled his eyes, the owner finally said something conscientious.

"Yeah, thanks to having them at home, we can be so worry-free"

"I just don't know if it's been so long, is there any good news from Linger?"

"It's almost half a year. If there is a happy event, the emperor's people will send a letter. Don't worry, this matter can't be rushed."

"I'm just afraid I won't be able to take care of her when I'm not at home"

"You, there are so many imperial doctors in the palace, nothing will happen."

"hope so"

The carriage drove all the way to the south, and their goal was Luzhou City ahead. Qiao Mai frowned as he looked at the vegetation on the roadside.

"My lady, what's the matter?"

"Look, the flowers over there?"

Yuan Jiaqi looked up, "Why are there flowers growing here? Don't those flowers look like ornamental flowers?"

"That's Poppy"

"What is Poppy?"
