Chapter 887: The Price (15 Monthly Passes Plus Update)
"What are you laughing at!" Jin Nanhou rushed to him with an arrow, grabbed his collar, and glared angrily.
Guan Jinghuan ignored his threat and still laughed.
After a while, he said: "I laugh at you rats, you have the courage to do it, but you don't have the courage to admit it." ”
His shirt was crooked, and his hair was scattered on the ground. It should be embarrassed, but his expression is full of pride.
After sweeping everyone around, Guan Jinghuan said lightly: "Becoming a king and defeating a king, haven't you heard this truth?" ”
"Since it failed, I'm ready to bury the whole family!"
Hearing this sentence, everyone looked at each other.
"You madman!" Chang Pinghou's fist fell on him first. Immediately after, everyone's fists rained down on all parts of his body.
Guan Jinghuan didn't resist either, only tightly protected his head and face, and was still beaten by everyone.
This little bit of physical pain is nothing, the goal he has been striving for has failed, and his political ambitions have stopped today. This is the pain in his heart.
This kind of pain, you people who only have interests in their eyes, can't understand it at all!
There was a lot of excitement in the study, but it was quickly interrupted.
"Master Hou, the Xiao Cavalry Guard is here!"
This sentence was like a witch spell, causing the movements of everyone's hands to stop in an instant.
Gu Shangshu withdrew his fist in a daze, his face ashen. I didn't care about any image anymore, and I collapsed to the ground.
The wolf-like cavalry guard entered the study and captured all the deposed princelings.
Wu Zhengxiang rode on a tall horse, looking at the seven or eight people who were tied up like zongzi, and the smile on the corner of his mouth flashed.
After several days of layout, it was finally time to close the net.
These people are the most determined abolished princelings. In order to convict them, he could be regarded as having put a lot of effort into it.
Since the ironclad evidence such as the dragon robe was copied out in Guan Jinghuan's house, all of them who gathered to discuss the matter were arrested. In this way, no one in the court will naturally question the emperor's decision.
Under such conclusive evidence, people who are good friends with these people will only cut ties with them. You know, this is a great crime of rebellion, and no one will risk their lives to intercede for them.
Emperor Qinglong wanted to pave the way for the crown prince, even at the expense of his reputation. He had no choice but to do his best, not to affect the emperor's reputation.
For Emperor Qinglong, Wu Zhengxiang felt very guilty. As long as he can take care of Emperor Qinglong's reputation, he is willing to do anything.
The dragon robe crown was indeed made by Guan Jinghuan, but Wu Zhengxiang managed to copy it from his mansion, and it was not deliberately wronged him.
Guan Jinghuan's disobedience, Emperor Qinglong had already noticed it. Eradicate this tumor, and the court can be peaceful.
Watching the people in front of him walk in front of him one by one, when Jin Nanhou passed by, he quickly raised his head and exchanged a look with Wu Zhengxiang.
Wu Zhengxiang bowed slightly at him, and he lowered his head and slowly followed.
……
Guan Jinghuan's rebellion case shocked the government and the opposition.
Emperor Qinglong sent down the wrath of thunder, and the Guan family was beheaded, and all the property and industry were filled into the inner province. The emperor was merciful, and only killed Guan Jinghuan, not other clansmen.
At the entrance of the vegetable market, there were more than 100 people of the Guan family, young and old, and blood flowed like a river. Because of one's ambition, paid the price of blood.
Guan Jinghuan was the last to be beheaded, and he didn't know that he saw his family die one by one, and he didn't regret it in his heart?
The subordinate servants of the Guan family who have a deed of identity are also valuable property. was picked by the Ministry of Internal Servants, and the young and strong ones were filled into the court, and the rest of the old and young were all sold, and the silver obtained was charged into the inner treasury.
Gu Shangshu privately accepted the property of the abolished prince, disregarded the law, and sentenced him to a prison sentence of 3,000 miles, never to be hired. All the money that was bribed was deposited into the inner treasury.
The Gu family was in a gloomy fog, and was raided by the Xiao Cavalry Guard. The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a steward and eunuch to watch closely on the side, and carried out a whole box of gold, silver and jewelry.
Seeing that everyone in Beijing was speechless, I couldn't imagine that Gu Shangshu, who seemed to be self-denying, was such a greedy jackal!
The hero behind this is naturally Wang Leyu. It was he who provided evidence of Gu Shangshu's collusion with the prince, as well as bribes he had received in other cases.
lost his official position, and lost his money. The Gu family suddenly fell back from a big family with a head and face in Beijing to an ordinary household. A large number of slaves were dismissed, and they survived behind closed doors.
Fortunately, as a comparison with the family, the Gu family finally did not shed blood, and they could figure it out.
In prison, Jin Nanhou exposed the crime of colluding with the prince to rebel. According to his confession, Xiao Qiwei went to the two Hou mansions and raised a large amount of accounts and evidence.
Emperor Qinglong issued a holy decree, because of the meritorious exposure of Jin Nanhou, he was reduced to the first rank of the knight, and the second generation died. In addition, all the family property related to the prince was confiscated, and the family ordered him to pay a fine of 30,000 taels of silver, and the matter was revealed.
Jin Nanbo secretly rejoiced in his heart, but he didn't expect him to be blessed by misfortune. Although Lei Ba got into trouble, he helped him catch the line of Wu Zhengxiang.
The plaque of the Marquis Mansion of Jinnan was taken down and replaced with a lower-level Bofu regulation. Illegal buildings in various parts of the house have been demolished, and the entire house can be called a war and chaos.
However, for Jin Nanbo, as long as the sea route at hand is still there, the foundation has not been shaken. And the sea route he had in hand was taken in countless bloody storms.
In today's Gaomang Dynasty, anyone who wants to take the sea route must also ask him if he can do it.
The title only gives him the ability to keep his wealth, and in this sense, Hou and Uncle are the same.
One day later, Jin Nanbo quietly approached Wu Zhengxiang and gave him a credential to propose two brand-new ships in the port of Quanzhou.
The Xu family is already building a sea ship and preparing to go to sea in the spring of next year. And this gift will surely bring the scale of the Xu family's caravan to a higher level.
Wu Zhengxiang also reciprocated, and an inconspicuous sedan chair quietly stopped at the back door of Jinnanbo's mansion, and Lei Ba, who had not seen him for many days, stumbled off the sedan chair.
Lei Ba coveted Xu Wanzhen, but after all, he was bewitched by Wang Miaoyan, and Wang Miaoyan was the culprit. As a knife that was used, Lei Ba also learned the lesson he deserved.
In addition, Jinnan Burley Chengzhou is indeed a character, and he can afford to put it down. He betrayed the two families of Changping Hou and Anping Hou, that is, he cut himself off from the noble circle and broke his arm.
His betrayal was beneficial to the imperial court. But although the nobles don't say it in person, who dares to get close to him secretly?
You must know that Lei Chengzhou's sister married into the Cheng family of the Marquis of Anping, and he was ruthless and completely disregarded the feelings of brotherhood.
Since he has the intention of ingratiating, Wu Zhengxiang does not want to offend him too hard. So he let him go and released Lei Ba.
The Lei family did not move to the foundation, but the Changping Hou Gao family and the Anping Hou Cheng family were not so lucky.
