On May 15, Liu Jingqi invited the heads of the three families, He, Lin and Wu, to a dinner party in Qinyuan.

The four major families are famous families in Hangzhou.

In addition to this, they have one thing in common, that is, they are both engaged in maritime business.

The best thing to say is maritime business, and the worst thing to say is smuggling.

The Ming Dynasty banned any form of non-governmental maritime trade, which was based on smuggling.

Smuggling is smuggling, and there are rules for one line.

Their rule is that there must be an introducer to enter the industry.

This is, of course, to be on the safe side and to avoid people from unknown sources getting in.

After all, what they do is a head-killing business.

The four major families eat meat, and the other families drink soup.

But now, with the destruction of Shuangyu Port by the official army, their financial route is basically cut off.

It took a lot of effort for Liu Jingqi to get online with Wang Zhi, who had cooperated in the past, and to trade in Liegang from the beginning.

Rao is so, and the losses are also huge.

Liu Jingqi picked up a glass of wine and said: "Today, Liu Mou called you not to come here for the purpose of chanting poetry, but to be elegant. It's about big things. ”

After a pause, Liu Jingqi continued: "Everyone must already know about Shuangyu, Zhu Kun's old puppet didn't give everyone a way to live, and he actually blocked the port directly. Liu really can't bear it, and I believe everyone is the same. ”

"Brother Liu is right, Shuangyu has been building a port for decades, and the officials and soldiers have always said that they will destroy it, but it is not for show. But this old man lost his mind and did such an unreasonable thing. ”

Lin Mingyan said resentfully.

As the head of the Lin family, Lin Mingyan couldn't hold back and had to complain well.

Compared with the other three, the Lin family suffered the greatest loss.

Because the Lin family not only has trade contacts with the Japanese side, but also has contacts with the Western side, it can be said that Fujian and Zhejiang provinces are all-inclusive.

They have friendships with Li Guangtou and Xu Dong in Shuangyu.

Now that Li Guangtou has been arrested, Xu Dong is nowhere to be found, the Lin family's business has broken eighty or ninety, and his heart is bleeding.

"This old man doesn't eat oil and salt. The people in the governor's yamen tried several times but couldn't buy it. ”

Wu Chun couldn't sit still and began to complain repeatedly.

Only He Fang has been silent.

Seeing this, Liu Jingqi smiled and said, "Brother He won't say anything?" ”

Among the four, He Fang is the oldest, and everyone regards him as a big brother.

He Fang pondered for a moment, stroked his beard and said: "Zhu Su is the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and he is also a feudal official. Say that he has no background in the court, do you believe it? Still you should be careful. ”

"What about having a background? Can you and pee on our heads with a background? ”

Lin Mingyan was the youngest, but he was not happy when he heard this.

"This is that you respect me a foot, and I pay you back. You don't give me a way to live, what am I afraid of? ”

Wu Chun also nodded and continued: "Brother Ming Yanxian is right. Do you really want to say that the background is worse than ours? This old puppet is so ignorant of what to do, he should give him some color. ”

"Not bad! In Zhejiang, we have the final say, and he has to be a dragon for me. ”

Lin Mingyan and Wu Chun are happy to say a word.

Liu Jingqi and He Fang didn't say much.

Both of them are scheming and deep people.

None of them are willing to pick this head and wait for someone else to do it.

Lin Mingyan and Wu Chun fell into the pit without knowing it.

"Impeachment, you must impeach that old horseman, you can't let him do whatever he wants."

Lin Mingyan couldn't hold back at first, and said loudly.

Wu Chun echoed: "Yes, we must expose the evil deeds of this old puppet and dismiss him." ”

Liu Jingqi saw that what the two of them said was almost, so he cleared his throat and said, "Two brothers, listen to Liu's words. This Zhu Su has a deep foundation, and if it is a piece of music, he may not hurt his muscles and bones. If you want to participate, you have to participate together. ”

"Brother Liu means joint impeachment?"

Wu Chun said in a deep voice.

Liu Jingqi shook his head and said: "Joint impeachment is not good, it is easy to be said to be premeditated." What I mean by this is that you can make the children of the DPRK and China go to the book separately, but the time can be arranged in advance, and the trend will be one after another. ”

He had already said this so clearly, He Fang naturally couldn't pretend to be confused anymore.

He cleared his throat and said, "That's a good idea. But what is the charge? ”

Liu Jingqi had already thought about it, and sneered: "That old horseman is extremely good at killing, and he captured all the pirates and beheaded them. We can impeach him for manslaughter. ”

Who knew that He Fang shook his head: "This crime is not enough." ”

Liu Jingqi was stunned.

"That's not enough?"

"If you want to be impeached, impeach him for killing good and risking merit!"

He Fang didn't say anything, and as soon as he spoke, he was amazing.

Murder is an absolute felony.

If this charge is confirmed, it is enough for Zhu Su to drink a pot.

In fact, it was common for Ming soldiers to kill good people and take meritorious deeds, especially among the border troops.

Because the rewards of the Ming army came according to the head.

If you can't kill the enemy, you can only use the heads of the common people.

"Brilliant plan, what a clever plan!"

Wu Chun praised again and again when he heard this: "Before this old horseman, Zhejiang can report a great victory by beheading more than ten people." Zhu Kun reported hundreds of people. Such a big increase is said to be believed without a greasy ghost. As long as we impeach Zhu Su for killing good and risking merit, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the imperial court. ”

Lin Mingyan gritted his teeth and said: "That's not enough, we also have to impeach him for embezzling military salaries and delaying the fighter." ”

The crime of embezzlement has always been the best one.

Regardless of the integrity of the official, as long as they are impeached for corruption, they will arouse suspicion.

Ordinary corruption is just that, now is not the Hongwu period, at most it is the dismissal of officials.

But embezzlement of military salaries is another matter.

If the fighter plane is delayed because of embezzlement of military salaries, it is a crime of one degree.

"You can also impeach him for being a prostitute!"

Wu Chun felt that it was not enough, and concocted another charge against Zhu Kun.

Since ancient times, the most direct way to bring down a person is to make his reputation stink.

And the way to stink him is to stare at his private life.

The Ming Dynasty strictly forbade officials from engaging in prostitution.

As the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Zhu Kun will naturally be a big problem if he is impeached for prostitution.

"You can also add a piece of arrogance and self-respect."

This one is for the emperor.

Zhu Kun was in charge of the military and political power in Fujian and Zhejiang, and he had great power in his hands.

When today's son is a very small-minded person, he will definitely feel uncomfortable after seeing the impeachment of Zhu Kun.

Although this article may not be directly lethal, it will weaken the emperor's good impression of Zhu Kun, and it will be of great benefit to the establishment of other crimes.

Liu Jingqi saw that the discussion was almost over, and poured herself another glass of wine.

He raised his glass and said aloud: "Today, the four of you and I gathered here to discuss major matters and agreed to impeach Zhu Kun. Come, let's drink this cup together for the sake of sea trade! ”
