At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

Ren Hao ignored the pleas for mercy from the young masters of the Shi family, and instead asked in a disguised manner: "Everyone, do you hold any important positions in the court?"

"This……"

The nobles looked at each other, not knowing what Ren Hao was trying to do.

However, in order to get Ren Hao to show mercy and let them go, they still told him the truth about their official positions in the court.

Their fathers were high-ranking officials ranging from the Three Dukes and Censors to ministers of various ministries, so these good-for-nothings were able to occupy important positions in various ministries through recommendations.

These positions range from the third to the fifth rank, and are all important positions with real power from which one can make money.

This really illustrates what it means: a drunkard sits in the hall, while no one cares about the loyal and honest people outside the door.

"It's not impossible for me to let you off the hook on this matter."

"But just..." Ren Hao said here, scanning everyone's frightened faces.

The reason why they were afraid of Ren Hao was not because of his status as Minister of Revenue, but because he was a favorite of the Emperor.

If Ren Hao reported their wrongdoings to the emperor, not only would they be finished, but his father would also be implicated.

"But what is it?"

The young masters of the aristocratic families looked at each other in confusion.

Could it be that Ren Hao wanted to use this matter to threaten their father to achieve some goal like he did last time?

If that's the case, they will definitely not agree this time.

Because of what happened last time, they suffered a lot of physical pain after returning home.

"Don't worry, I won't use this matter to threaten your fathers again. I don't like forcing people to do things they don't like to do." Ren Hao said with a wry smile.

The nobles looked at each other in bewilderment, as if to say, "I didn't believe your lies."

"Lord Sikong, as long as you are willing to show mercy and let us go, we will do whatever you ask us to do. We are willing to work like your slaves." Chen Tailiang pleaded.

"Yes, Lord Sikong, as long as you are willing to let us go, we are willing to serve you like a cow or a horse. You said that the deer was a horse, but we absolutely dare not say that it was a deer."

Other young masters from aristocratic families echoed his words, looking as if they were ready to follow Ren Hao's lead.

"No, no, I don't dare to want you beasts of burden." Ren Hao waved his hand, not thinking that he had lived too long.

"Lord Sikong, then what do you think we can do to let us go?" Chen Tailiang asked with a smile.

"It's not difficult to let you go. It just depends on whether you are willing or not." Ren Hao said, glancing at the crowd.

"Yes, of course we are willing. Just say it, Lord Sikong." Chen Tailiang and everyone else nodded.

"Do you know what it means to occupy the toilet without taking a shit?" Ren Hao asked with a smile.

"I know, I know. What this means is that you have no place to go but you have to occupy the pit and not let anyone else use it. You are just playing around." Chen Tailiang nodded quickly.

"Yes, yes, that's right."

“This kind of person is really hateful.”

The other young masters of the aristocratic families also nodded.

"Haha, since you know what this means, why are you still occupying the toilet without taking a shit?"

"You eat the salary from the court, but do nothing. You leave all government affairs to others. As for the merits and hard work that others deserve, in the end, all fall on you."

"Don't you all think you are hateful?"

Ren Hao's voice gradually became colder, which frightened everyone so much that they all admitted their mistakes in panic and slapped themselves in the face.

"Resign from all your important positions and give them to those virtuous people." Ren Haosheng said sternly.

"Ah this..."

Chen Tailiang and other noble sons were stunned. They did not expect that Ren Hao would actually ask them to give up their positions in the court.

"Lord Sikong, can you...can you change to something else? I'm afraid it's difficult for us to back out of this kind of thing. Father will definitely not agree." Chen Tailiang sighed, and the others nodded.

"I don't care what reasons you use to convince your father. As long as you don't resign your important position and hand it over to those virtuous people within three days, don't blame me for being rude."

"When the time comes, I will definitely report to His Majesty and have you severely punished!!!" Ren Hao stared at everyone, his tone gradually becoming heavier.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally could only reluctantly agree: "I... we will definitely find a way to convince father when we go back. Lord Sikong, please show some mercy."

"That would be better." Ren Hao nodded and looked around the hall again.

From the moment he arrived, he felt that something seemed to be missing in the hall, but he couldn't remember what it was.

It was not until he fixed his eyes on the auxiliary seat next to him that he suddenly realized that something was missing.

He is the Grand Censor who helps Chen Tailiang, a good-for-nothing, and handles the government affairs of the Censorate.

I think his name is He Chao?

Ren Hao thought about it and still had some impression of this person.

The last time he came to the Censorate, everyone was drinking and having fun with each other, but he was calmly handling the government affairs of the Censorate. No matter how the singing girls teased him, he didn't even look at them.

"Where is the Grand Censor He Chao?" Ren Hao looked at Chen Tailiang and asked.

"He..." Chen Tailiang fell silent for a moment, wondering in his heart, why did Ren Hao want to see him?

I don't think he wants He Chao to take his place.

Ren Hao looked at Chen Tailiang in a daze and silence, and slapped the table and said, "I'm asking you a question, where is he?"

"he……"

"He was taken to the imperial prison by my father." Chen Tailiang said truthfully.

"What did he do wrong?" Ren Hao asked with a frown.

"I don't know." Chen Tailiang shook his head. He had thought about asking about this matter before, but his father did not tell him.

"Bring him up to me." Ren Hao knocked on the table and said.

"This... This is probably Lord Sikong's order. It's difficult for us to do it."

"My father has ordered that no one can see He Chao without his permission." Chen Tailiang shook his head.

"Is that so?" Ren Hao pondered for a while and decided to go to the palace to meet Censor Chen.

……

At this time, Censor Chen was with Zhao Ping'an.

"Imperial Censor Chen, I think His Majesty intends to let Ren Hao replace you. Don't you have any intention of resisting?" Zhao Ping'an asked.

"Resist? How can I resist?"

"You are the emperor, or the ignorant young emperor before. Can you let us old guys decide for you?" Censor Chen rolled his eyes at Zhao Ping'an and secretly advised Zhao Ping'an to stop while he was ahead and return the power in the court.

"Imperial Censor Chen, Ren Hao was already very difficult to deal with when he didn't have any real power. If he takes over the Censorate from you now, aren't you afraid that he will then turn against Tiangang and liquidate you directly?" Zhao Ping'an suddenly smiled, implying that Imperial Censor Chen was not a good guy either, and had done a lot of nonsense relying on his status as one of the Three Dukes.

"We're the same." Censor Chen laughed, without a trace of panic on his face.

He had already prepared a life-saving trump card.

This trump card is not the move that helped Ren Hao agree to the land reform before, but another card.

Zhao Ping'an felt very uneasy when he saw that Censor Chen was not panicked at all.

"Did you kill those two men?" he asked.

"Don't worry, I will kill them all without leaving any one alive." Censor Chen nodded, looking like you can trust me in my work.

But the more he did this, the more uneasy Zhao Pingan felt, and he asked, "This is a serious matter, it concerns our heads, are you sure you killed them all? I want to see their bodies."

"If I'm dead, don't even think about running away." Zhao Ping'an threatened directly.

"Prime Minister Zhao, you are making things difficult for me."

"Why did you have to watch it now?"

"I'm afraid the bodies of those two men have become fertilizer in the fields now. I'd like to know where to dig them out for you." Censor Chen shrugged helplessly and told Zhao Ping'an to relax. They were all in the same boat, so why bother making things difficult for each other.

"That's better." Zhao Ping'an nodded and left the palace.

call.

After Zhao Ping'an left, Censor Chen heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Humph, who are you and I? Wait for death."

The mistakes he made during his tenure were corruption and bribery, which led to many false and wrongful convictions. If he were to be held accountable, he would be beheaded, but at least his entire clan would not be held accountable.

But as for what Zhao Ping'an had done, it was a very serious matter. Not only would his nine clans be held accountable, but anyone who had anything to do with him would probably be held accountable and executed.

Just as Censor Chen was about to leave, a young man stopped him and said, "Please stay, Mr. Censor."

The person who stopped him was none other than Ren Hao.
