Chapter 136: Raiding the House
Xiao Jing soon reappeared in the clouds with the will of Emperor Hongzhi.
After Xie Zhi solemnly accepted the order, Xiao Jing waved his hand and beckoned to the dozen or so entourages behind him, and said: "Xie Zhixian, Your Majesty knows that you have no one who can be used in the clouds, so he ordered our family to leave some people to help you dispose of the hands in the clouds as soon as possible. ”
Although these people left by Xiao Jing are all eunuchs, they are also spies of Dongchang, and they were appointed by Emperor Hongzhi, not only with outstanding ability, but also with high credibility.
Anyway, Xie Zhi didn't have anything to hide from Emperor Hongzhi, and there was nothing to guard against the people sent by Emperor Hongzhi.
Xie Zhi arched his hand and said with a smile: "Thank you Father-in-law Xiao, this is really a relief for a certain person." ”
Xiao Jing smiled faintly and replied: "Your Majesty is worried about Xie Zhixian in your heart, Commander Mu has personally gone to Runing to arrest Yang Taihe, and when Yang Taihe arrives, he can be beheaded with the Ma family father and son according to the order, okay, Xie Zhixian is busy with official business, our family will not bother, and our family has to go to the Yunzhong County Mansion and Datong Mansion to announce the decree." ”
Xiao Jing said goodbye and was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao took Xiao Jing's arm and said mysteriously: "I don't know what my father's will is for the Yunzhong Mansion and the Datong Prefect?" ”
Xiao Jing glanced at Zhu Houzhao and stretched out his hand to the entourage next to him, who quickly untied the burden on his shoulders and handed it to Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing took out the bright yellow scroll from his baggage and handed it to Zhu Houzhao.
This holy decree is for Zhu Chengpalladium and Wu Yongfu, and it stands to reason that even if Zhu Houzhao is the crown prince, he does not have the permission to watch it in advance.
Xiao Jing took out the will It was already against the law of etiquette, but Zhu Houzhao took the will to Xie Zhi after reading the will, and after commenting on it.
"Father is really, too tolerant of Wu Yongfu, right? Yang Taihe has connived at the Ma family to do evil in the clouds for so many years, and he must have made a lot of profits from it. ”
Xie Zhi took the holy decree from Zhu Houzhao and returned it to Xiao Jing, and said: "Since Your Majesty has this will, it is your Majesty's reason, the son does not say anything about the father, His Royal Highness is a minister, how can the son say such a thing." ”
said, and criticized Xiao Jing again: "Gonggong Xiao, this holy decree is for the king of Yunzhong County and the prefect of Datong, how can you take the lead in seeing His Highness, isn't this trapping His Highness in injustice?" ”
Xiao Jing received the holy decree, and said with a smile on his face: "It's really damned, our family has lived for such a long time, and it hasn't been thoughtful enough for a little doll in Xie Zhi County, it's really a sin, a sin..."
Xiao Jing is Emperor Hongzhi's right-hand man, and he is deeply trusted by Emperor Hongzhi, so he has to be careful when he speaks and does things in front of him, and he may not be able to say which words will reach the ears of Emperor Hongzhi.
Xiao Jing received the decree and soon left the county office.
After Xiao Jing left, Zhu Houzhao said aggrievedly: "It's really damned, this palace must have to be announced to his father by Gong Xiao again..."
Zhu Houzhao knows all the truths, that is, he is too self-indulgent, he doesn't care about the consequences when he speaks and does things, and only when he says and does things do he knows what regret is.
Xie Zhi didn't pay attention to Zhu Houzhao's guy, if that guy didn't know something, Xie Zhi could tell him, he knew what was right and wrong, but he still had to make mistakes, then Xie Zhi couldn't do anything.
After a pause, Xie Zhi said directly: "Since Your Majesty's will has arrived, and Gonggong Xiao has also left manpower, it is better to do the matter of copying the Ma family as soon as possible, explore how the Ma family's industry is, and then be able to discuss how to solve the next matter, and it is not a matter to have nothing to do like the county government." ”
After Xie Zhi mentioned this, Zhu Houzhao immediately forgot what had just happened, and said excitedly: "Copy the horse family? Hongu also goes! ”
Wang Shouren replied to Zhu Houzhao's meaning: "Before copying the Ma family, we have to announce Your Majesty's will first, which can be regarded as according to the people's will, it has been four or five days since the Ma family's incident broke out, although it is not long, but the people are also looking forward to it." ”
Wang Shouren has always been thoughtful about things, and Xie Zhi directly agreed: "Well, you should send a notice out, Zhu Zhubo, you write it, it is still easy to understand, the notice is to inform the people, and there are so many bells and whistles." ”
Zhu Houzhao did this as the main man, and responded to Xie Zhi's instructions: "Well, don't worry." ”
Zhu Houzhao walked to the table and wrote a notice in a few clicks.
This ya's statement to the people in the clouds, His Majesty's will has arrived, the father and son of the Ma family, Ma Tiannan and Ma Jinxue, the former magistrate Yang Taihe and the decided, after Yang Taihe was escorted to the clouds, they were executed together, and their families were all enslaved by the army.
After Zhu Houzhao explained the will of Emperor Hongzhi in the vernacular, Xie Zhi took a closer look, then beckoned He Liang to take out the official seal and stamped it with a big seal.
With this big seal, only then can an ordinary blank piece of paper have official effect.
After stamping the big seal, Xie Zhi handed the notice to Liu Jin and said, "Post this notice." ”
It's just a notice, and I don't care what Liu Jin is doing.
Since Liu Jin had already come out with him, he couldn't let him eat rice, and he had to be sent some work to him.
Xie Zhi ordered, Zhu Houzhao did not refute, Liu Jin could only follow the order.
After settling these things, Xie Zhi took a few of his friends and the dozen or so entourages left by Xiao Jing and went straight to Ma's house.
In the days when Xie Zhi entered the clouds and pretended to play, he also went to the vicinity of Ma's house to have a look.
The Gaomen compound is much stronger than the Xie family.
Xie Zhi and his entourage arrived at the door of the Ma family, and the spy of the East Factory smashed his fist on the black gate of the Ma family.
After a few glances, the bolt of the door fell, and a group of agents from the East Factory broke in on a rampage.
After the Dongchang spies broke in and occupied a place, Xie Zhicai followed him and walked in.
As early as after the agents of the East Factory broke in, he rushed back to the main courtyard to report the news.
When Xie Zhi entered the main courtyard, several women who were richly dressed and pestled in the courtyard were there.
Xie Zhi calmed his face and said sharply: "This county leads His Majesty's will to come to raid the Ma family, everyone is gathered in the courtyard, and they are not allowed to move around at will, if there is a violation, they will be killed." ”
Although Xie Zhi brought only a dozen agents from Dongchang, with the notorious reputation of Dongchang, it was enough to deter these women who had no backbone.
As soon as Xie said this, there was a faint sobbing sound among the group of women.
Xie Zhi ignored the women and shouted, "What about the housekeeper? Where is the housekeeper? ”
After Xie Zhi shouted a few times, a man with a big waist and a round waist slapped him upside down, "Here, here... The villain Ma Qing is the housekeeper of the Ma family..."
Xie Zhi pulled up a smile, patted Ma Qing on the stomach, and said with a smile: "How much oil and water is this?" ”
Ma Qing subconsciously sucked back his stomach and promised: "The villain is loyal to the master, and he has been a housekeeper in the Ma family for so many years, and he has never embezzled a copper plate of the Ma family!" ”
This guarantees that it will have some effect on Ma Tiannan, but I am afraid that Xie Zhi will be unsatisfactory.
Xie Zhi immediately restrained his smile and said sharply: "In Ma Tiannan's fish and meat township, you have not been corrupt, then you are even more for the tiger, where are the accounts of the Ma family?" Did you take it out, or did the county find it out by itself? ”
Ma Qing shuddered, waved his hand and replied: "The accounts are all in the hands of the eldest young master, and the villain is the housekeeper of the Ma family at any time, that is, he is just in charge of some chores." ”
Even if Ma Qing said the truth, as a housekeeper, he didn't necessarily have the slightest clarity about some of the Ma family's situation.
Xie Zhi pushed Ma Qing and pushed it to one of the agents of the East Factory, and said, "Look at it first, copy it in order, and everything copied out must be approved and recorded." ”
Then, he instructed: "Bo'an, Bohu, Father Heng, the three of you are working hard to accompany these fathers-in-law in Dongchang to check these accounts on Ma Jiaming's face first..."
Wang Shouren and the three of them would not refuse, and said, "Yes, Zhixian." ”
After the arrangement, Xie Zhi took Zhu Houzhao around the Ma family.
Soon the courtyard of the Ma family was full of green bricks and green tiles, and even the flowers and plants planted in the garden were not ordinary varieties...
Not only that, but the porcelain calligraphy and paintings placed in each room are all very valuable.
If the wealth is not exposed, the Ma family's exposed things will cost at least 10,000 taels of silver, right?
