Liang Chongyue sat under the dragon throne in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, sipping tea and dozing off, waiting for someone to deliver the information.

The good prescription comes from Sifangtai, which has special people to survey all officials. Just report this to the scumbag father and he can get it out.

Those who were screaming loudly just now are now huddled there, their faces pale and beads of sweat hanging on their foreheads. Some of them are already in a trance and fall down while standing.

After drinking half a pot of tea, some people couldn't bear it anymore.

He crawled all the way to Liang Chongyue's feet and kowtowed frantically begging for mercy:

"Your Highness, Your Highness, it is my fault that I am ignorant. I am just a lowly official in the Censorate, with parents and children to support. Please give me a way out."

Liang Chongyue didn't even raise her eyelids. Seeing that she ignored her, Ping'an came up, picked her up and threw her back.

"You are a bunch of rats. When you were threatening His Highness with every word, did you ever think about the elderly and children at home? Now you are using your family as an excuse to beg for mercy. Your family sold everything they had to support your studies and exams, and now you have to support a piece of shit like you. It is a misfortune for your family."

It was the first time that Liang Chongyue heard Ping An say so many words in one breath. With his eyes closed and a smile on his lips, the unhappiness in his heart subsided a lot.

Some people begged for mercy but were refused. No one else dared to come forward to beg for mercy. They huddled together, waiting for the princess's decision.

Liang Chongyue suddenly heard the system's brain waves in his mind, and the next moment, the puppy's voice came.

"Host, host, my scumbag father came to Yikun Palace. When my mother heard that my scumbag father wanted to hand over the national treasury to you, she drove everyone out and started arguing with my scumbag father in the bedroom."

Liang Chongyue closed her eyes and frowned slightly. Her elder brother had been making small moves in the court in recent years, and her mother had never wanted her to be involved in the fight for the throne.

Now that the national treasury has been handed over to her, the fight for the throne is no longer something that she can avoid getting involved in just because her mother doesn't want to, so this fight is bound to happen.

Liang Chongyue picked up the teacup, hoping that the quarrel would be over by the time she returned, otherwise she didn't know how to comfort her mother after returning.

Just as he was thinking about it, a group of men in black clothes and robes came outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, carrying more than a dozen red camphor wood boxes. Liang Fang walked in front.

When the Black Guards saw them coming, they dragged the people lying in the middle of the hall, who were already unconscious of their lives, to the sides so that they would not block the way.

Seeing the box fall to the ground, Liang Fang walked to His Highness and leaned over and said:

"Your Highness, the information of all the officials present has been retrieved."

"Then check it out."

"Yes."

Liang Chongyue still had his eyes closed, and the system panel had been called up.

She was waiting to see how this quarrel between her scumbag father and her mother would turn out.

This was the first time since she was born that she had encountered a quarrel between her scumbag father and the queen mother. She hoped it would end soon and not make their already superficial love even more shattered.

The only sounds in the hall were those of flipping pages and calculating accounts with an abacus. Liang Chongyue waited until all the assets of the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue were uncovered, but he still couldn't see the outcome of this quarrel between his scumbag father and his mother.

"Your Highness, the investigation of the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue has been completed. The evidence of corruption over the years is all here. The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue has embezzled a total of 1,030,000 taels of silver in his 15 years in office, not to mention his private property and lands in various continents of Daxia."

As Liang Fang finished speaking, there was a sound of someone falling to the ground.

Liang Chongyue opened her beautiful eyes and looked with disdain at the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue who was lying on the ground.

"The Minister of Revenue only makes 180 taels of silver a year. Master Fu's salary for the past fifteen years is at least taels a year. Where does this extra taels of silver come from?"

Liang Chongyue took the paper handed to him by Liang Fang and started to read it.

There were thirty pages in total, all densely packed. Except for the first page which was only half filled, the rest were full.

"Ten years ago, the total amount of compensation for the soldiers injured in the border battle was only 500,000 taels of silver, and you still want to embezzle 100,000 taels? Fu Antong, you are quite courageous!"

Liang Chongyue's eyes became colder and colder as he flipped through the papers, and he wished he could tear Fu Antong into pieces right now.

In the border battle ten years ago, the Xiang family army suffered countless casualties and the total compensation was 500,000 taels of silver. This beast embezzled 100,000 taels by himself.

The families of the Xiang family soldiers who died or were injured on the battlefield will at least be taken care of and subsidized by the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, so their lives will not be too bad.

But what about those soldiers who sacrificed their lives for Daxia?

His family raised him with great difficulty, sent him to the army for hard training, and helped him defend his country. But after his death, not even the last bit of his pension reached his family.

Their spirits in heaven must be disappointed with Daxia. They endured the cold and hunger on the national border, fighting for their lives, but in the end, they couldn't even guarantee the lives of their families.

Liang Chongyue flipped through the pictures one by one. From the initial anger in his heart to now, there was not much emotion. They were all beasts, how could they behave like human beings?

"You force women into prostitution, collude with evil, and embezzle military funds... You all dress like humans, but I never realized before that you are all beasts in human skin."

Liang Chongyue's tone was cold, and he finally raised his eyes from the paper in his hand.

His eyes were as cold as a thousand-year-old ice, and there was a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth:

"Daxia has nurtured a bunch of corrupt officials like you for a hundred years. You are a disgrace to Daxia. Heaven is unfair, allowing you to live for so many years and enjoy so much happiness. Remember this, princess. Today is the seventh day of the seventh month in the twenty-seventh year of Emperor Xuanzong of Daxia. Your death date has arrived."

Liang Chongyue stood up from the chair. The Shu embroidered court robe on his body came alive as he moved, and the Qilin on it seemed to come alive. The court officials who were huddled together in a state of disrespect did not have the strength to stand anymore and could not even support each other.

Liang Chongyue placed the paper in his hand on the tray held by the eunuch beside him and turned to look at Qi Deyuan:

"This princess will raid the house of the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and confiscate all the goods we find. After counting, all of them will be used to pay the families of the fallen soldiers. I will ask Eunuch Qi to inform my father and have him assign some people to me. Anyone present who abuses their power to oppress others, bullies others, or murders the people will be punished by this princess."

"Every one of them will be dealt with according to national law."

Liang Chongyue said to inform, not to ask for instructions. The meaning was very clear. She wanted all these corrupt officials to die.

If she had really thought of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys at the beginning, she would have just made these people shut up.

But when she saw that Fu Antong actually embezzled the pension money of dead soldiers, she changed her mind.

The scumbag father won’t die for a year or two, and her brothers will have to fight for several more years.

She never claimed to be a good person, but she still couldn't bear to see the soldiers who served the country not get a good result, and the good officials who were honest and frugal being swallowed up and destroyed by the foul atmosphere of the officialdom.

Since her scumbag father is willing to give her power, why not take this opportunity to do more good things.

While benefiting the people, it also increases your own luck.
