Perhaps knowing that he would definitely die, Tao Rui simply let go.

He turned his head and glanced at the vast majority of the officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and sneered: "You are all hypocritical. That's because you haven't counted on your head yet. I'm just going to take a step first. Ask yourself, lower your head and take out your pockets. Whose crotch is clean?"

"The court has so much money and food for disaster relief. How much has it been given to you? The government has always been a big deal, and the local government has a small deal. If it is a small deal, it will be a good conscience for the local government."

"Rareless! It's simply rude!"

Tan Bingzhi, the right deputy commander who was criticized before, was so angry that his beard shook, and said to Li Chen: "Your Highness, this madman has completely lost his mind. Please ask him immediately to be a warning to others!"

"What are you guilty?" Li Chen asked indifferently.

Tan Bingzhi suddenly felt numb.

"Your Highness, I am not guilty. Your Highness must not believe this crazy person's one-sided words!" Tan Bingzhi defended loudly.

"Of course I won't listen to one-sided words."

Li Chen said coldly: "But I will ask you, such a person can reach the third rank and be in charge of a province. What exactly does the Censorate, who is responsible for impeachment and assessment of all officials, do for food? Ask you for dereliction of duty, it's not too much!?"

Li Chen's words left Tan Bingzhi speechless.

He stood there, sweating dripping down.

"Get out, I will deal with you later." Li Chen said coldly.

Tan Bingzhi looked frightened and immediately retreated to the train, regretting why he jumped out just now...

With his eyes falling on Tao Rui, Li Chen said lightly: "Tao Rui, you have said this so much, I will ask you a question."

Tao Rui sneered, showing disdain.

"You said that the people in Xishan Province are miserable, the imperial court is ineffective in disaster relief, and the officials in Beijing are much corrupt. So what about you? How much are you greedy?"

"Since the beginning of the natural disaster, the Ministry of Revenue has allocated 9.2 million shi of grain to the Xishan Province by the court alone, and directly allocated 2.45 million taels. How much tax does the Qin Empire have been in a year? How much did you give to you Xishan? How much did you share the money from it??"

Li Chen's questioning made Tao Rui's sneer solidify on his face, and his eyes began to flash and he couldn't speak.

Seeing Tao Rui's behavior, Li Chen sneered: "There is one thing that is right. If you are throwing it out, you will be talking about it."

"You are so striking. If you don't greedy for a single bit of it, and the current situation of the Xishan province is caused by natural disasters and corruption in the court, then the Japanese Palace will immediately exempt you from all your sins and promote you to the cabinet!"

"You Tao Rui, dare you say you are not greedy? Is there anyone who died because of you Tao Rui among the millions of people in the Xishan Province??"

Li Chen's voice was like a collision between metal and stone, on the majestic Hall of Supreme Harmony, and like the questioning of the Emperor above the Nine Heavens, trembling Tao Rui's head buzzed.

He was originally kneeling and sat on his lap, breathing rapidly, his eyes were distracted, and he opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.

"Since you don't dare to say that you are the most innocent one, why bother to make a fuss here? Because everyone is dyed black, is it right for you to jump into the gutter??"

The pressure was tightened to the limit, and Tao Rui roared angrily as if he was venting: "No!"

"I'm greedy, but so what? I'm not the only one who greedys in the world!"

"As for the rebellion, I submitted the report to the cabinet a month ago, but no one responded to me! I won't run away, are you waiting to die?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Xuanji widened his eyes.

What reflected Li Chen's cold eyes were reflected in his pupils!

The prince tied Tao Rui to the Hall of Supreme Harmony not to interrogate Tao Rui, but to use Tao Rui's knife to stab the heart of the cabinet!
