Chapter 248: Dry
Listening to this person's words, Han Tai and Zhou Yi's faces were not very good-looking, and the two glanced at each other and saw the caution in each other's eyes.
After being in Zhejiang for so long, everyone knows very well what the status of Qiwei Zhai is.
That's His Royal Highness the Prince's own property. No one can deny this, and it is also known to everyone.
Under such circumstances, after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived in Zhejiang, he directly chose to do something to Qiwei Zhai, and the matter was deep. What is it that makes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince directly do it to his own forces?
The most important thing is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not his own person yet. If it's just the people who clean up themselves, no one can say anything.
What worries Han Tai and Zhou Yi the most is what Qiqizhai has done in Zhejiang over the years.
You must know that Qiweizhai has developed a lot in Zhejiang over the years. During this period, there were many illegal things happening, and at the same time, there were also many unruly things, and Han Taok and Zhou Yi both knew about it.
Not to mention the big local households in Zhejiang, even if they are the two of them, they are all involved in Qiwei Zhai. Who would have thought that Strange Zhai was the first to have an accident?
originally thought that Qiyizhai was the most stable place, but now there is such a big thing?
Zhou Yi looked at Han Tai and said with some hesitation: "Are things still done?" ”
Regarding Zhou Yi's question, Hankook also fell into deep thought.
In fact, Hankook knows very well what Zhou Yi is asking in this sentence?
What Zhou Yi asked was actually whether to continue to deal with Zhang Xian.
Originally, the two of them were going to bring Zhang Xian down first, but now that something like this has happened, I don't know if I should do it for a while.
At such a time, it may be better to be still than to be still, and it may be the best choice to wait quietly.
"Let's stop." Han Tai said helplessly: "The matter over there is too sudden, let's figure things out before we do it, otherwise it will be too passive." We don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to do. ”
Listening to Han Taek's words, Zhou Yi nodded, and then said, "Then do as you say, let's figure out what happened first, and then decide what to do." ”
After saying this, Zhou Yi turned to the person who came to report the news, and said, "You go back and tell Mr. and ask him to help me find out the news." Mr. is more familiar with things in Zhejiang than we are. ”
When he said this, Zhou Yi's tone was very low, and there was a hint of threat in his tone.
Han Tai on the side was not so polite, he said directly: "Go back and tell your husband that if the two of us are finished, he won't be able to run away." Nowadays, everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, and no one should think about cutting the rope and running by themselves. ”
"Two adults, this is a bit too much, and now is not the time for us to be angry." The man said with a smile.
"I'm afraid it'll be too late!" Han Tai waved his hand violently and said, "You don't have to talk to us about this here, if we can't pass this level, your family won't be able to run." Go back and tell your husband that he must reach out this time. ”
"I'll tell us sir." The man arched his hand and said, "In this case, I will take my leave." ”
After saying this, the man turned and walked outside.
Looking at his back, Zhou Yi sighed a little helplessly, and then said to Han Tai: "You are really in a hurry, it is not yet the end of the road, and we are not exhausted, why bother to offend them so much?" I really offended them so badly that this time has passed, and we have no good fruit to eat. ”
Han Tai snorted coldly and said angrily: "What is the end of the road? When it's really at the end of the road, it's too late to do anything. If we don't talk about it now, I'm afraid we just won't have a chance to say it. ”
"As for the future, if you can't get through this time, I'm afraid there will be no future. I'll make it clear to you, even if we can pass this time, we can't stay in Zhejiang forever. I'm telling you, it's the best thing to do. ”
Zhou Yi said with some surprise: "Things haven't come to this point yet, right?" ”
"Not to this point?" Han Tai said angrily: "Don't talk about anything else, just say that Qiwei Zhai is over there." In the past few years, how many shady things have we done for Qiwei Zhai, and how many benefits have we taken from it? You know this better than me, you really have to investigate it, which of us can leave Zhejiang alive? ”
"Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrested the people of Strange Zhai, do you think they won't tell the truth? Our things are secret, and no one knows about it except Boss Li, so he probably doesn't dare to open this mouth. If he dared to speak out about what he had done, he would have died worse than we did. Zhou Yi gritted his teeth and said.
"I hope he wasn't arrested to deal with us." Han Tai said helplessly.
The two of them here are like frightened birds, and the outside is similar.
No one expected that after Zhu Houzhao arrived in Zhejiang, the first thing he did was to arrest his own people.
Who in the whole of Zhejiang doesn't know about Qiwei Zhai?
It can be said that the big households in the whole Zhejiang are involved with Qiwei Zhai.
Hangzhou, Zhu Houzhao's residence.
Looking at Yang Lian, who was angry, Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth and said, "It seems that the situation is worse than what Bengong thinks." ”
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, we got the account books of Hangzhou Qiwei Zhai and interrogated everyone, and the results were shocking. In recent years, Qiwei Zhai has expanded very strongly in Zhejiang, but basically it uses shady means. ”
"They hold the channel in their hands, coerce and lure those big households, and collude with them; At the same time, they colluded with the local government to embezzle the fields in various places, put paper money, and embezzle the tuntian fields of the guards. ”
"It can be said that everything is done, all these fields are in their hands, and everyone has a family business here." While speaking, Yang Lian picked up her clothes and knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave is guilty. ”
Zhu Hou looked at Yang Lian, and didn't let him stand up, but asked slowly: "It's not that this kind of thing happened by accident in this palace, what surprised this palace is that you haven't found out for so long?" You also have internal supervision, right? ”
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the people inside have also been bribed by them." Yang Lian said with a dark face.
This is the thing that makes Yang Lian angry the most, and all the people he sent to supervise are his henchmen. As a result, one of these people has fallen, and the whole of Zhejiang is a nest case, and no one is in peace.
Except for the strange Zhai in Hangzhou, this is the case with all other strange Zhai. The strange Zhai in the whole Zhejiang has rotted to the roots.
This is his Yang Lian's dereliction of duty, even if this time passes, I'm afraid His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not trust him so much.
Yang Lian's heart was dripping blood, and at the same time, she hated these people to death in her heart. These people are simply asking for their own lives, and they trust them so much in vain.
"Alright, get up!" Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Since the matter has come out, it's useless to say these things now, let's check it out." Since they have been involved in this matter, then they will all be severely punished. Also, ask them to write down all the people involved. ”
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave and maid will do it." Yang Lian said in agreement.
After Yang Lian left, Zhu Houzhao turned his head and said to Liu Jin beside him: "You go and get Zhang Xian to the palace, it seems that there is no need to go around the bend anymore, just do it directly." If it's rotten to the root, just arrest someone. ”
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince." Liu Jin agreed, bowed and retreated.
When he was summoned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Zhang Xian still had some hesitation in his heart.
Zhang Xian naturally knew about the things outside, but he didn't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had summoned him at this time.
Zhang Xian knew very well in his heart that he was not involved in this matter. But he still rushed over as soon as possible, because he didn't dare not come.
Looking at Zhang Xian who walked in, Zhu Houzhao motioned for him to be polite, and then said: "This palace has brought you over, because I have something to tell you." This time Hongu came to Zhejiang, not to take a walk in Zhejiang. ”
Zhang Xian already knew this, and no one would think that Zhu Houzhao came to Zhejiang to take a look.
"You must also know about Nanjing, after the palace arrived in Nanjing, someone set fire to the household yamen and killed people at the same time. After that, the people of the palace searched down the vine and found Liu Yibing of the Zhejiang Qing Officials Division of the Ministry of Households, and when they found him, he had already been killed. ”
But a large amount of gold and silver was seized from his home, and the murderer was found. According to the murderer's confession, all the people involved in this incident were from Zhejiang, and Chen Laosan and others from Zhejiang Qiwei Zhai were all involved. ”
"So the palace brought people over, and after arriving here, they directly grabbed their people, and the result was shocking."
When Zhu Houzhao said this, his face was all bitter and said: "I didn't expect that they would do such a big evil thing in Zhejiang. The palace is sorry for the people of Zhejiang, this is the dereliction of duty of the palace. ”
"After returning to the capital, the palace will ask my father to ask for guilt. But before that, all the tumors in Zhejiang must be pulled out. ”
Listening to Zhu Houzhao's words, Zhang Xian's heart suddenly rose.
Obviously, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to do it, and there should be a lot of terrible things found out over there, otherwise His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not have called himself over and directly chose to do it.
He had also been in contact with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before, and his performance at that time was not what it is now. The thing that can affect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is obviously that this time it is Qiwei Zhai who arrested people.
"I don't know what the minister should do?" Zhang Xian bowed and said.
Zhu Hou looked at Zhang Xian and said directly: "The whole Hangzhou is under martial law immediately, only entry and exit are allowed, and no news is allowed to flow out." Dispatch troops into the city to stabilize the death situation in Hangzhou, and start a curfew in Hangzhou. You don't have to take care of the rest. ”
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince." Zhang Xian was surprised in his heart.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how big of a deal is this?
Such a big move!
Although Zhang Xian wanted to ask, seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like this, he still swallowed his words back into his stomach.
"Alright, let's do it." Zhu Houzhao said
After Zhang Xian left, Zhu Houzhao said to Zhang He beside him: "You go to Yang Lian and ask him to take someone to arrest people, and you lead the Black Dragon Guard to cooperate with him." If anyone resists, they will all be killed. ”
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince." Zhang He agreed, turned around and walked outside.
The change in the situation made everyone in Hangzhou not react, originally thought that it was just a few people, and everyone could have thought that the entire city of Hangzhou would be closed after an hour.
After the army entered the city, a curfew was directly implemented, and the entire city of Hangzhou was allowed to enter but not leave.
At the same time, something happened that everyone in the city didn't expect, Yang Lian took people out privately and began to arrest people everywhere.
Zhejiang's political envoy Yamen.
Han Tai's whole person was actually like an ant on a hot pot, and when he saw Zhou Yi who walked in, he said eagerly: "What's going on?" Got it figured out? ”
"It's been figured out." Zhou Yi took a sip of tea, and then panted and said, "It's not because of the Nanjing Hubu case?" The case over there was actually done by someone from our side, and it was not clean, and it was caught by His Royal Highness the Prince. It is said that Kikisai was also involved in this incident. They burned the paperwork of the household department and killed people in the household department. ”
"A few days ago, we were still guessing who did it, but we didn't expect it to be someone from here." Speaking of this, Zhou Yi slammed the teacup in his hand out and made a snapping sound.
The teacup fell apart in an instant.
Zhou Yi scolded loudly: "Are all those people pigs? How dare they do such a thing? This is looking for death, and the whole family will die! ”
Listening to Zhou Yi's words, Han Tai suddenly sat down on the chair in despair, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
They didn't expect things to come to this point.
The air seemed to freeze, and the two of them sat there without knowing what to say.
After a while, Han Tai said with a wry smile: "This time it's over, and my life is gone." ”
The expression on Zhou Yi's face was slightly hideous. Gritting his teeth, he said, "I don't think so." ”
Han Tai sat up straight suddenly, looked at Zhou Yi with anticipation on his face, and asked eagerly, "What good can you do?" Hurry up and talk about it. ”
"There are only two ways to go." Zhou Yi said with a hideous face: "The first way is to rebel, while His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in Hangzhou, we will break through His Royal Highness the Prince's residence, capture His Royal Highness the Prince, and then go to Nanjing, those people will support us." ”
Han Tai looked at Zhou Yi like a madman, and said loudly, "Are you crazy?" That's the crime of the Nine Clans! Besides, can we do it? Who do you have on your hands? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is from the Black Dragon Army! If you want to die, don't pull me! ”
"You know?" Zhou Yi glared at Han Tai angrily and scolded loudly: "Then what else can be done?" Go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ask for guilt? Let's tell the truth, we will do whatever His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks us to do, we will hand over all the family property and just want to live? ”
