Chapter 387

Zhou Yi turned his eyes, and his face seemed to be a little moved.

"How many taels are there in all?"

Eunuch Miao replied: "Slaves like antique calligraphy and paintings. It's not easy to cash in, but there are always 3 to [-] taels. If adults like gold and silver, let's let people pawn them!"

"Humph!"

Zhou Yi snorted coldly, and cupped his hands in the direction of Qianqing Palace, speaking righteously.

"Our family has no rank of internal servants, and His Majesty has to value being in charge of the first prison. With such grace and trust, how can we be in the same rank as you?"

Eunuch Miao still wanted to speak, but when he looked up, he saw the red gold palm, and slapped it on the top of his head.

Red and white splattered in all directions, filled with a strong smell of blood.

Zhou Yi ordered: "Mr. Wen, you will replace Eunuch Miao as the supervisor of the palace, and search for his corrupt money, and our family will send it to His Majesty in person!"

Eunuch Wen looked at the headless corpse, not knowing that it was Zhou Yi Liwei, he stood up and bowed.

"As ordered!"

Zhou Yi looked at Eunuch Shen again, and asked with a smile: "Senior Shen has been in the kitchen for many years, and he must be familiar with the things in charge. Are you willing to take this official position?"

Eunuch Shen got up and said, "So you want it."

"Eunuch Meng, come in."

Zhou Yi immediately called the current director, looked at Eunuch Meng who was terrified and crawled into the door, and said with a smile: "Eunuch Meng, do you still remember us?"

"My lord, let's... say... forgive me, I remember a little bit."

Eunuch Meng's skills are profound, he clearly heard what happened in the palace just now, he only thought that death was inevitable, and he couldn't make a sentence when he trembled.

Zhou Yi said slowly: "Back then we were on duty in the Imperial Garden. At the beginning, we couldn't get through the route and went to the wrong palace. Fortunately, Eunuch Meng escaped the punishment because of his words."

Eunuch Meng tried his best to recall, it seemed that such a thing happened, but it was so small and so long ago that he couldn't remember the details.

If the admiral says yes, then there must be!
Zhou Yi said: "Our family will thank you for your kindness. Eunuch Meng has been promoted to be a young supervisor, and senior Shen will be in charge of the job."

Eunuch Meng breathed a sigh of relief. The young prisoner seemed to be of high rank, but his real power was far inferior to the book. However, with the headless corpse in front of him, how dare he talk about any conditions, so he quickly kowtowed.

"Thank you, my lord, for your cooperation!"

"Sit down."

Zhou Yi waved his hand, looked at Eunuch Yu with a smile, the old eunuch who had castrated so many eggs, and asked, "Where does Senior Yu want to be on duty?"

Eunuch Yu laughed strangely: "Our family only wants to be in the cleansing room, and I just hope that the adults will buy more servants to enter the palace in the future."

"Good talk, good talk."

Zhou Yi said: "The cleansing room belongs to Jiancheng, so please invite our Jiancheng, Eunuch Ji, to come in and explain how much money we have spent on corruption. It is only 10,000+ taels, which does not reflect our loyalty to His Majesty!"

"Master is wise!"

The old eunuchs in the palace praised in unison, and all laughed strangely.

Eunuch Ji staggered in, his legs were weak, he was incontinent, emitting a strong fishy smell.

"unlucky!"

Zhou Yi winked, and the newly promoted young prisoner stepped forward and smashed Eunuch Ji's head into pieces.

The admiral likes to do this, and the following people will follow suit!

Two people died one after another, and the servant at the door was trembling with fright, knelt on the ground and kept begging for mercy. Some were willing to take money, some were willing to recognize godfathers, and some said they would offer women from the clan to be Zhou Yi's daughter-in-law.

"Next!"

Zhou Yi had a smile on his face, his eyes were cold, and he didn't care about the begging for mercy.

Before leaving the cold palace.

The old deer told Zhou Yi that the guard on duty was related to the safety of the palace, no matter how many people were killed, they must be taken down quickly, and if it was delayed for a long time, His Majesty would have doubts.

Zhou Yi humbly asked how to quickly win power.

"Kill a batch, change a batch, keep a batch!"

The old deer said it in a simple and rude way, that is, to take hundreds of lives to forge the majesty of the new admiral.

Zhou Yi did not hesitate at all, and completely followed Lao Lu's instructions. His majesty's safety was not as good as hundreds of lives, even thousands of lives.

The gap between people in this world is bigger than that between people and dogs!

There were more than 30 official positions from top to bottom as the eunuchs on duty, one-third died in the palace, one-third changed positions, and another third were replaced by old eunuchs.

The dozens of headless corpses in the temple are just the prelude to the great cleansing!

For example, if Eunuch Miao dies, his godsons and subordinates will be robbed, and dozens of people will die.

Zhou Yi sat on the grand teacher's chair, glanced coldly around the hall, and suddenly let out a hearty laugh.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

After entering the palace, he was imprisoned for a long time, and he saw father and son, mother and son, and husband and wife killing each other. Human nature is bound to be dark and twisted. Today, when the head of a living person is smashed, there is no fear or discomfort, but joy from the heart.

Master the joy of life and death!
……

a few days later.

The big purge is over.

More than [-] people were killed with sticks, and more than [-] people fell into the well.

No one dared to use the well water in the palace. The fear was that something hard would appear in the mouth while drinking, and it would be a finger bone when spit out.

this day.

On duty.

More than a dozen boxes were lined up, filled with gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings.

"Search gold and silver antiques, a total of 200 million taels!"

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up, and he really wanted to take it all for himself, buy thousands of acres of land outside the palace, and become the big landlord he once dreamed of.

Wen Dianbo held the account book and said: "This is just stolen goods from the palace. There are also [-] mansions in Beijing and more than [-] shops. There are a million taels of gold and silver."

Zhou Yi grabbed a handful of jewelry, then a handful of gold and silver, and asked suddenly.

"Mr. Wen, how much is the country's annual tax?"

Wen Dianbo replied: "The taxation of the country is mainly rice, grain and silk. It is difficult to estimate the exact amount. We only talk about the gold and silver belonging to the Ministry of Households. Last year there were 500 million taels!"

"Guochao collected 500 million yuan in taxes a year, and a few eunuchs embezzled 300 million yuan, tsk tsk tsk..."

Zhou Yi threw the gold, silver and jewels back into the box, and ordered the servants on the left and right: "Seal them all up for safekeeping, and we will report to His Majesty, and return all the stolen goods to the internal funds!"

"It's beyond our family's control how other people are greedy for ink. The guard on duty must be innocent!"

"Master is wise."

The servants in the palace applauded repeatedly. They survived the great cleansing, and no one dared to disobey Zhou Yi in any way.

The next day.

The news that Zhou Yi had seized 300 million taels of stolen money reached the ears of Emperor Zhengtong.

There was no need to make a special report, Eunuch Yuan came to pass on the oral order and led Zhou Yi to the Qianqing Palace to face the saint.

On the road.

Eunuch Yuan stepped back to the left and right, and said in a low voice.

"Eunuch Yi is really good at tricks. He sent 300 million taels to His Majesty after only a few days in office!"

Zhou Yi took out a stack of silver bills from his cuff, stuffed them into Eunuch Yuan's hands, and said with a smile: "We have won His Majesty's trust, so we must do our best, so no one should be greedy for money!"

"Eunuch Yi is indeed loyal to the country!"

Eunuch Yuan glanced at the face value of the bank note, felt the thickness, and immediately judged that it was worth tens of thousands of taels, so he pointed it out.

"Your Majesty has been in a bad mood these days. Eunuch Yi should be careful when he speaks, and don't mention the word Bei."

Zhou Yi asked: "Who in the north dares to provoke His Majesty, if our family can contribute, we will teach his whole family that life is better than death!"

Eunuch Yuan shook his head slightly and said solemnly.

"The country has always had rules, and the servants can't talk about military affairs!"
