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

He was indeed waiting.

The man in the Qianqing Palace who had evil intentions and was ruthless in his attack was really afraid that there would be more deaths in Yingtian Prefecture.

He was the Minister of Personnel, in charge of the transfer of court personnel. He killed everyone, who else would he transfer?

Like Zhan Hui, there are many people who are unwilling to sit down and are restless. Of course, the reasons are different from Zhan Hui's. Most people are trembling, worried about their heads, their skins, and their entire families.

Just as Zhan Hui was pacing back and forth, someone finally knocked on the door. "Master, the court has indeed issued an imperial decree! His Majesty has punished five officials in Beijing, as well as those implicated in the crimes."

Zhan Hui immediately took a deep breath.

His face changed drastically, and he lowered his voice and said, "As expected, they've arrived. Your Majesty has inherited the late emperor's swift and ruthless spirit. When the emperor is angry, hundreds of corpses are left... Hmm?" Zhan Hui's voice suddenly stopped mid-sentence, and he also stopped his anxious pace. He stared at the person who brought the news: "What did you just say... what did you say? How many people were dealt with?"

The servant who came to deliver the message was slightly stunned.

Then he replied honestly, "My lord, there were five people at the head, including Zhao Yi, the Imperial Censor of the Ministry of Justice, the magistrate of Shangyuan County, and others. There were also a number of officials involved in the crime, but the number was not too large."

After making sure that I heard correctly.

Zhan Hui was a little confused: "The emperor is angry...huh? Why is the emperor suddenly not angry anymore?"

He was clearly still arresting, killing, and skinning people everywhere, and his methods were cruel and brutal, just like the living devil of the previous emperor.

Let alone Zhan Hui.

Even Fu Youwen, who thought he was not that involved in the matter and was therefore relatively calm, put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the servant who reported the news and Zhan Hui in disbelief.

The two exchanged a look of great surprise in silence.

Zhan Hui then waved to the people below and said, "Go down first. Continue to pay attention. If you have any other news, please send me a message."

"Yes, sir." The messenger responded, then left the room and closed the door.

Zhan Hui pondered for a moment.

He walked to the wall and closed the window, shutting it tightly.

Then he looked at Fu Youwen and said, "This is strange. Our current little King of Hell... has he suddenly changed his nature?"

He was able to gain Zhu Yuanzhang's trust, so his hands must be basically clean. Otherwise, with Zhu Yuanzhang's strong suspicion, he would not be confident in giving him the positions of Minister of Personnel and Inspector General of the Left Censor-in-Chief at the same time.

But he is basically the head of all officials.

He didn't know the specific details of the dirty deeds of the officials below him, but he knew roughly that they existed and there was a lot of them. How much was sixty taels of silver? Anyone who would get his hands dirty for money would definitely spend more than that.

So both Zhan Hui and Fu Youwen knew it.

The little King of Hell only dealt with the five main culprits. It was definitely not because these five were the only ones who committed the crime, but because... he only chose these five people!

"It seems...he has indeed changed his ways." Fu Youwen nodded and said, "Otherwise, Yingtian Prefecture would definitely not be so peaceful today!"

Yes, in their opinion, Yingtian Prefecture, where the Jinyiwei were arresting people everywhere, was now in chaos, and could be considered peaceful.

Just as the two of them were thinking and discussing.

The noise in my ears gradually became louder.

For nothing else.

They breathed a sigh of relief, and those who had lacked moral integrity and had been living in fear for two or three days were naturally even more relieved.

The results of the handling came out, and they were not on the death list. This meant they had escaped a disaster. It was like the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads for two days was finally taken away.

Of course, this group of people were ecstatic and celebrating together.

Zuiyuelou is now the most convenient place to get information, so a group of people naturally gathered here. As the group became lively, the entire restaurant naturally became noisy and lively as well.

Many people are celebrating their survival.

"Huh..." No matter what, Zhan Hui finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally felt a little relieved, and sat down opposite Fu Youwen.

He pondered for a moment.

He raised his hand and knocked on the table, speculating, "Perhaps... His Majesty has also considered the drawbacks of this and compromised, thus suppressing his murderous intent and turning a blind eye to others?"

Compared to those who survived the disaster.

Zhan Hui wanted to explore whether there was anything else hidden in it.

Regarding Zhan Hui’s statement.

Fu Youwen pondered silently for a moment, then nodded hesitantly, "Well... it's not impossible. Regardless of whether he occasionally does some willful and absurd things, that little King of Hell is still very smart. As the saying goes, when the water is too clear, there will be no fish..."

Zhan Hui nodded in approval.

He and Fu Youwen had never denied this. They had witnessed with their own eyes how the little King of Hell, all alone, had negotiated with the civil officials, the nobles of Huaixi, and even the great princes of the distant frontier regions, before seizing this opportunity to sit on the throne...

P.S. Today is a 4,000-word chapter. I didn’t pay attention when I wrote the first chapter, but as I was writing, I realized it was too long. I might as well just combine it into one chapter. I’m not lazy~~
