The name of "Yellow Tiger" Liu Zongmin, Chen Yan, the former scholar of Shoufu University, knows it. That's a general under the command of the rebel, and his big head is very valuable to the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in the past!

And now, seeing Liu Zongmin himself, who has become General Quan and Marquis of Ru, Scholar Chen is still taken aback.

I thought that Li Zicheng's general must be extremely ferocious, maybe he was still a monster with a red beard and green eyebrows. But what appeared in the door of Chengtianmen now was a man dressed in a blue scarf and a Confucian scholar. Although he has a beard with sideburns, he is not cruel, and he speaks very kindly, even politely.

It seems that it is not unreasonable for this great shun dynasty to win the world! Such a general, the Zhu thief can't take it out!

Including Chen Yan, the more than 2,000 ministers crowded outside the Chengtian Gate, although their bodies were wet with rain and cold wind was blowing, their hearts were warm.

They can be regarded as seeing the Lord!

Oh, I haven't seen it yet. Lord Ming is busy, and he has a lot of opportunities, so it's understandable that he doesn't have the time to see them. However, Liu Zongmin and Liu Houye, who represent the Ming Lord, still let everyone feel the warmth and care of the Ming Lord.

Look at this Marquis Liu, the Confucian scarf and blue robe, how simple and elegant, there is no shelf at all. Which of the nobles of the Zhu Thief can compare? Moreover, they spoke softly, always had a smile on their faces, and affectionately called everyone "Master", and asked the accompanying officials to record everyone's names, official positions, addresses, and whether they were willing to serve the new dynasty. He also said that if there is an appointment, someone will be sent to the door to notify him. What a thoughtful approach!

Chen Yan and several other officials who were eager to serve him, such as Zhang Ruoqi, the former secretary of the Ministry of War (the guy who pit Hong Chengchou's 130,000 army), Yang Guanguan, the young Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and Wang Sunhui, the envoy of Changlu Yanyun, all showed their powers, or wrote a chapter of persuasion, or made a poem to praise the new dynasty of Dashun, and some wrote poems praising Li Zicheng.

Liu Zongmin also met them one by one, and greeted them kindly, and asked the servants around him to write down the names of several people. I see that those unprepared ministers are very envious!

When Liu Zongmin heard Chen Yan report the official position of the former Shoufu University Scholar, he smiled even more, and warmly took Chen Yan's hand, saying that he wanted to invite him to dinner, which made Chen Yan a little embarrassed.

Liu Zongmin actually had a little disappointment in his heart, because there were not many big fish among the Ming Dynasty ministers who cast the net today. The big fish all told Zhu Cihong's bastard to let go!

In addition to Chen Yan, the former first assistant, there is Wang Yongzuo, the master of ceremonies, Li Jiantai, a scholar of Dongge University who was escorted back to Beijing by Liu Fangliang's soldiers, Xue Lian, the Marquis of Yangwu, and a few counts can be regarded as big fish - this Xue Lian didn't run away with Zhu Cihong for some reason, and those counts were arrested, and their net worth was basically lost outside Beijing.

Liu Zongmin, who felt that there was a little bit of oil and water, asked people to find Wang Dehua, Du Zhizhi and a few other Da Jue who returned to Shun, and pulled Wang Zhengzhi, the left attendant of the household department, Li Huaxi, the governor of the three sides who had no way to take office, and Jin Zhijun, a waiter of the military department, and barely managed to get together a table of people. A table of wine was set up in the lobby of the Beizhen Fusi in the Jinyi Guard's yamen.

It seems that the place where the wine is placed is a little inappropriate, which is the place to eat wine in Beizhen Fusi? But Liu Zongmin said that his government office was at the original site of Jinyiwei, and it was difficult for the big guy to say anything. And they all followed.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, just when everyone is eating a little taste. Liu Zongmin, who was full of kindness, drank too much, suddenly put down the wine glass, looked at everyone with a smile, and suddenly asked: "Do any of you miss Emperor Chongzhen?" ”

What the? Miss Chongzhen's faint king? How can it be?

Everyone present shook their heads and said that they were loyal to the new lord and would never miss Chongzhen.

"Really?" Liu Zongmin asked with a smile, "Although Emperor Chongzhen is confused, he is still good to you people, and you have made a lot of money, right?" Dashun is not so lenient, and he will never tolerate corrupt officials and corrupt officials! Are you corrupt officials? ”

Doesn't that sound right?

Chen Yan and the others hadn't drunk much, and they were all alert at this time.

"Master Hou, the lower officials have always been honest, and they are by no means corrupt officials......" Chen Yan tentatively defended himself.

"Oh," Liu Zongmin nodded with a smile, "Benjue will definitely convey Chen Ge Lao's words to the emperor...... But if Chen Ge Lao has a family fortune, what should he do? ”

"This, this ......" Chen Yan already felt that something was wrong. There are 40,000 taels of silver buried in the courtyard where I live temporarily!

"No, nothing!" Chen Yan gritted his teeth.

"Hehehe." Huanghu Liu Zongmin sneered, and turned his head to look at Li Jiantai again, "What did Li Ge Lao say?" Some people say that you have millions of dollars, but is there a problem? ”

Li Jiantai is a fat man with a beard up to his navel, he looks rich, and he is actually really rich. However, his money was not embezzled, his family was a Jin merchant and was originally a rich man.

"There are not as many as millions...... Li Jiantai didn't dare to say that he had no money, "Xiaguan's family is a Shanxi businessman, his ancestors have accumulated virtue, and he has saved a little family business, and there are hundreds of thousands in his heyday, but now there is a shortage of soldiers, and there are not many left...... Oh, you can dedicate it to Dashun! Dedicated to Dashun to make money! ”

"Okay, good," Liu Zongmin said with a smile, "I don't want much, just take 150,000 taels of silver." ”

As soon as this price came out, Li Jiantai was okay, and everyone else present was so frightened that their faces turned blue.

Why did this Dashun court enter the city like the original Da Ming, and it also asked for money?

"Next, the lower officials will let the family take the money to ......," Li Jiantai said in a trembling voice.

"No hurry, no hurry." Liu Zongmin said, "There is a ready-made place to live here in Fusi, Beizhen, you all live here tonight, and your family will go to raise money tomorrow." ”

Early tomorrow morning, the soldiers of Dashun will be led by the Shuntianfu officials sent by Luo Yangxing to arrest the Ming Dynasty officials of the sixth rank and above, the earl and above honorables, and the inner servants of the twenty-four yamen stewards in Beijing. With a few exceptions, the others were all arrested and detained by the Fusi of Beizhen!

Then he followed the size of the official position and the size of the title, and pursued the stolen goods from them.

Liu Zongmin said in a light tone; "I don't want much from you. Those who have entered the cabinet will be given 100,000 taels, the six Shangshu and squires will be given 80,000 taels, the duke does not seem to have any, the marquis will be given 300,000 taels, and the earl will be given 200,000 taels...... The great eunuch of the twenty yamen gave 150,000 taels! All of you, just give money according to this! ”

"Master Hou," Chen Yan trembled with fright, looking at Liu Zongmin, who had already revealed his true face in front of him, "There are really not so many officials!" ”

He really doesn't have that much money, although he has tried hard to be corrupt and take bribes, but he also spends a lot. As soon as he entered the office, he had an affair with the internal servant, and he spent a lot of money to do it, so he became a scholar of the first auxiliary university. Most of the money that was finally greedy was spent, and not much was left in his hands. Moreover, he exchanged them for the properties of Beijing City, and these properties were all sold in a hurry and took more than a month to be sold, totaling 40,000 taels of silver. Where can I find 60,000 taels to make up 100,000 taels!

Liu Zongmin heard him this, and smiled coldly: "Is there any, you don't count if you say it!" The forehead has made people build 5,000 pairs of clamping sticks, with edges on the sticks and iron nails connected to them, which can crush hands and feet! When you have tasted the taste of the stick, and then say that you have no money, you will believe it! ”

What? Want to crush your hands and feet? It turns out that the Dashun New Dynasty, no, is the Liukou who is so vicious!

These people here, regardless of whether they can come up with the amount demanded by Liu Zongmin, all of them turned pale, and they all began to miss Emperor Chongzhen and his cunning and murderous prince...... Your Majesty, Crown Prince, we are all wrong, come back and save us!
