The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

Chapter 759

Emperor Xinglong narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw his reaction.

"It seems to be just as I expected!"

He took a deep breath and sighed,

"Daqian's bureaucracy has been cumbersome for a long time, with local officials and businessmen colluding, and the people are suffering terribly! This is why we have the rebels in Qingfeng Village today!"

How could a eunuch like Dai Quan dare to respond to such words?

I could only lower my head and count the patterns on the gold bricks on the ground.

Emperor Xinglong suddenly turned around, looked at Dai Quan sharply, and said coldly,

"Tell me, old man! How much silver did the rebels in Yangzhou seize from the local area?"

Dai Quan fell to his knees with a thud.

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!"

A cold light flashed in Emperor Xinglong's eyes.

"Say!"

Dai Quan was so frightened that he trembled all over and fell to the ground, shaking violently.

He kept talking,

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Emperor Xinglong had already vaguely guessed something, and he stood up and walked to Dai Quan, grabbed his collar and said with a ferocious look,

"Hasn't the Shadow Division found out the truth? Then what use do I have for an old dog like you?!"

Dai Quan was so frightened that his whole body went limp, and he cried,

"Your Majesty, it's not that I haven't found out, but your health is not good. The Emperor has issued a strict order that this matter must not be known to you!"

"Please have mercy, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Xinglong's eyes twitched violently, and he kicked Dai Quan to the ground.

"You old dog, do you know what's going on?"

"If you don't tell me today, I will beat you to death immediately, you old dog, and then go to Yangzhou myself to find out!"

Dai Quan kowtowed desperately, with blood flowing from his forehead.

But Emperor Xinglong has now determined that there must be a huge connection involved.

The more Dai Quan refused to speak, the more eager Emperor Xinglong became to know the answer.

Seeing Dai Quan refused to speak, Emperor Xinglong shouted directly to the outside of the palace,

"Someone! Call the Shadow Sinan Envoy immediately!"

Dai Quan directly hugged Emperor Xinglong's legs.

"Your Majesty! You..."

'boom! '

Emperor Xinglong kicked Dai Quan in the face and cursed at him.

"You bastard! I rely on you as my confidant, but you are so heartless that you won't even let me know the truth!"

Facing the wrath of Emperor Xinglong, Dai Quan kowtowed and wept bitterly.

"Your Majesty, I would never dare to..."

Emperor Xinglong was not satisfied, so he stepped forward and kicked Dai Quan twice, knocking him unconscious.

The palace maids and eunuchs around were so frightened that they were trembling with fear and kept silent.

Soon, the Shadow Sinan Envoy came.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw his immediate superior, Dai Quan, lying on the ground with blood all over his face, and his heart tightened.

Kneel directly to the ground.

"I, Wan Zhong, the envoy of the Shadow Sinan Division, pay my respects to His Majesty!"

Emperor Xinglong said coldly,

"Listen! I'm only asking this once. If you try to hide anything, I'll take you out and execute you!"

Wan Zhong trembled all over and quickly fell to the ground,

"Your Majesty, please give your orders! I dare not conceal anything even if I die!"

"it is good!"

Emperor Xinglong nodded slightly.

"I want to ask you, how much silver did the Yangzhou rebels confiscate from the Yangzhou gentry after they started their rebellion?"

"This……"

Wan Zhong's heart tightened when he heard this.

I haven't figured out how to answer yet.

Emperor Xinglong spoke directly and indifferently.

"Take him out and chop him up! The whole family will be imprisoned..."

Wan Zhong felt a chill in his heart and kowtowed quickly.

"Your Majesty, have mercy! According to the Shadow Division's investigation, after the Qingfeng Village in Yangzhou rebelled, almost 90% of the gentry and salt merchants in Yangzhou were confiscated!"

"Nearly 80% of the salt merchants were beheaded by the rebels. According to incomplete statistics, the rebels seized over 700 taels of gold, over 64 million taels of silver, as well as countless precious treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and acres of land..."

Frightened by Emperor Xinglong, Wan Zhong trembled.

He immediately told all the information he knew about the Qingfeng Village in Yangzhou like the beans rolling down his throat.

After he finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief.

But I am also extremely worried.

As the director of the Shadow Sinan Division, he knew how much his master hated corruption.

Now that the rebels have stolen so many things from Yangzhou, I'm afraid the emperor will be furious.

However, Wan Zhong lay on the ground for a long time but did not hear the voice of Emperor Xinglong.

He quietly looked up at Emperor Xinglong and was immediately confused.
