"Someone, take off the censor's black hat and official uniform, and put him in jail. Wait until the regent has counted all his assets before making a judgment!"

The emperor closed his eyes and waved his hand. Immediately, some strong guards appeared beside him and pulled the censor who refused to leave back.

"I know that many of you are not clean, and many of you are even in collusion with the Censor-in-Chief. Moreover, many of you should have dealings with the Censor-in-Chief, whether in terms of money or in your daily social life!"

The emperor closed his eyes and sighed deeply.

It is said that if a prince commits a crime, he will be subject to the same law as a commoner, but there are also rumors among the people that the law does not punish the majority.

This is actually the emperor's dilemma. The emperor now knows that many people in the court have a history of bribery, but the emperor does not dare to get rid of all these people easily.

Because once all these people are taken away, there will be problems with the determination and process of these matters in China.

So the emperor can only endure it himself now.

After the morning court session, the emperor returned to his palace and smashed things around viciously.

"You are so incompetent!"

The emperor cursed and smashed things, his face looking extremely gloomy.

In the eyes of the emperor, he trusts the Censor so much, but in fact, he also has some dark thoughts in his heart.

When Zhao Ji went to provide disaster relief, there happened to be no one of Zhao Ji's in the court, at least not the emperor in public. If he took advantage of this opportunity to place his own people and arrange for his own people to come up, it would be easy to form his own team.

By then, even if Zhao Ji comes back, some of his say will be taken away, and the emperor will gradually take the power back into his own hands.

Of course, these were the emperor's dark calculations at the beginning, which was why he supported the chief censor so vigorously. He just wanted to build up his own power as quickly as possible.

However, this Censor was so incompetent that he even got carried away in such a storm, thinking that he was a powerful minister.

But he never thought that he was just a chess piece in the game between Zhao Ji and the emperor.

If the emperor had not given him the power to supervise all officials, he, the so-called Censor, would have been nothing more than a puppet, or even a nominal position.

After all, even if there was the position of Censor in the past, it was still useless. The corruption in the Ministry of Revenue was even discovered by Zhao Ji himself, and it had nothing to do with him.

Although this position was established at the beginning, without the emperor's support, it would be difficult to make any progress in the court.

It was precisely because he knew this that the Censor felt that he would gain tremendous power after gaining the emperor's appreciation.

But in fact, he did enjoy a period of glory as a powerful official.

During that period, he basically had the final say in the court. No matter what the emperor said, he would use the emperor's name to make profits.

At the beginning it might be just a few dozen taels of silver, but when it reached dozens of taels of gold later, he would still feel unsatisfied.

Time and again, money comes too easily, so that such people are corrupted step by step.

No one can escape unscathed from this vortex of power.

So this is what happened to the Censor-in-Chief.

Zhao Ji came to the Censor's house outside the imperial palace. Actually, the Censor's house was not a particularly large house. After all, he bought the house with his own money and it was not a royal gift.

However, when Zhao Ji walked into the mansion, he was still shocked. First of all, the stone bricks on the ground were actually gold bricks.

The gold bricks spread directly into the pavilion. Zhao Ji thought it was gold powder at first, until the guard behind Zhao Ji, who had experience in house searches, stood up, took out a crowbar, pried up the bricks, and exclaimed: "Oh my God, this is actually a gold brick!"

Zhao Ji looked at the row of gold bricks on the ground in shock. The level of luxury was so high that even Zhao Ji himself could not imagine it.

Gold bricks were laid directly on the ground for people to step on. The Censor-in-Chief had only collected bribes for a few days, but was this really extravagant?

Zhao Ji's face was gloomy. He was able to get so many luxurious gold bricks in less than a month.

That's enough to prove a point.

The level of corruption among officials throughout the Celestial Empire was far beyond the imagination of Zhao Ji or even the emperor.

A Censor-in-Chief could obtain so much money in a short period of time.

This is equally shocking.

"Keep searching inside. Look carefully. Don't miss any corner. What we need to do is to help the emperor and liquidate the property of the Censor's family fairly and impartially!"

Zhao Ji said this through gritted teeth.

Soon, the guards around Zhao Ji who had extremely rich experience in house-raiding had begun searching in every corner.

The Censor's family is not prosperous, with only a five-year-old son who is still playing in the backyard.

As for the wife of the Censor, she had already come out. Unfortunately, she could do nothing but watch Zhao Ji and his men search the house.

All the gold bricks on the ground were pried up, and all the account books in the house were searched out.

Zhao Ji took a rough look and found that the account book was full of financial transactions, but most of the items recorded in it were small amounts.

Zhao Ji knew that there must be something deeper that had not been found.

At the same time, another guard brought something, which was nothing else but a bunch of medicinal herbs.

"When I found this thing in the backyard, the ladies in the backyard said it was Tai Sui!"

The guards had an inexplicable awe for this thing.

Zhao Ji took a quick look and didn't believe that such a flesh-colored thing that looked like a medicinal herb could actually be Tai Sui.

This meat-like medicinal herb seems to be very big, and it does fit well in the hand. At least it is as big as twice Zhao Ji's head.

Zhao Ji originally thought that some boss was being taken advantage of and got stabbed.

But after taking a closer look, Zhao Ji suddenly felt that there seemed to be something fishy about this big thing.

Zhao Ji directly pulled out a knife from the guard next to him, but felt it was too long, so he threw the knife back and pulled out a dagger.

Then he used the dagger to lightly cut a line on the so-called Tai Sui.

The guard holding Tai Sui cried out in surprise: "This thing is so heavy, what if it gets scratched?"

He saw some transparent water-like substance dripping out from the so-called Tai Sui, and then Zhao Ji saw that something else seemed to appear vaguely in the opened hole.

Zhao Ji was curious, so he stepped forward and tore the hole wider, just to see clearly what was inside.
