Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

"Can't they have a good New Year?" Zhan Hui looked at Fu Youwen with a meaningful look and sneered softly, "With that person's temper, who knows if they can still have a good New Year?"

No matter how unbelievable it seemed to them.

But it is an indisputable fact that the emperor of the time uncovered major corruption cases everywhere just by taking a look at the account books!

Fu Youwen subconsciously shrank his neck, a chill running down his spine. He bared his teeth and said, "Old Zhan, what you said is rather creepy."

Zhan Hui smiled and said, "Just tell me whether you believe it or not!"

Fu Youwen said, "Even if others don't believe it, I have to believe it! Who knows, this extra edition is just a pavement!"

"That's all." Zhan Hui clapped his hands and spread them out, then gestured towards the stairs, saying, "I think the main courses are finished. Let's go upstairs to the private room and hear what side dishes are left."

A newspaper that is both serious and entertaining, even if the rest of the content is not as explosive and shocking as the headline, it is still worth listening to and having fun.

After saying that, Zhan Hui glanced at the servant in front of him.

The servant immediately understood and hurriedly pushed forward to push aside the excited crowd in front of the two of them to make way for Zhan Hui and Fu Youwen. The two of them squeezed through the dense crowd with difficulty and finally reached the stairs. They walked up the stairs all the way to the third floor.

Both Zhan Hui and Fu Youwen were considered to be powerful people in this period when there was no prime minister and the status of cabinet scholars had not been promoted at all.

Even if you arrive late, it is still easy to get a VIP room.

Just as the two men reached the door and were about to push it open, the old man on the high platform behind them announced the results of several major corruption cases. "Your Majesty has ordered that we conduct a strict trial and investigation into the crimes. The principal offender will be sentenced to death by skinning and straw stuffing, and his entire family will be executed! The accomplices will also have their property confiscated and be exiled! Among them, the Huaibei mine..."

It includes the disposal results and some details of the case.

Hear the news.

The two of them stumbled at the same time, gasped, and turned to look at each other with wide eyes...

It was as if the air had frozen.

After a while, Fu Youwen swallowed with some difficulty and broke the silence: "No... skinned and stuffed with straw, and still coming? In Yuanzhou Prefecture, Jiangxi, they skinned more than thirty people alive, including local officials!?"

Although they knew that the young emperor was murderous and ruthless, in their eyes, he was still just a child after all, so in this regard, they subconsciously believed that this younger one was better than the old master.

At most, it would be just a case of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, following the example of the previous emperor, regarding the corruption case in Datong Prefecture that was uncovered earlier.

But now it seems...

Zhan Hui's cheek muscles twitched as he spoke in horror, "When His Majesty starts killing... he's almost as good as the late Emperor, isn't he?! This is just corruption in the coal mining process... If he continues like this..."

Having said that, Zhan Hui seemed to have thought of something bad, his eyelids twitched, and he didn't care about being humble or polite anymore. He just stepped over the threshold and went into the box first.

At the same time, he said, "You should hurry up and come in first. This matter is indeed very gratifying to the people, but... there must be something wrong!"

His face looked a little dark and ugly.

Fu Youwen also knew that Zhan Hui would not behave like this for no reason. Although the shock and horror in his heart were still lingering, he put it behind him for the time being, nodded, stepped over the threshold, walked in, and closed the door.

He sat down, a puzzled look on his face.

While opening the teacup to pour water for himself and Zhan Hui, he asked, "Is there anything you can't say? There's no one else here, just go ahead and tell me."
