Chapter 140: Decisive Killing (Fourth Update)

Under the domination of a strong sense of loneliness and fear, some of the four major maritime merchant families in Zhejiang finally couldn't bear it.

This trick is a chain reaction.

The other three families were also implicated.

Once the crime of being convicted of the crime of being a conviction is confirmed, it is a capital offense.

The governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Zhu Kun, immediately ordered the four families to be raided.

I don't know if I don't copy it, but I was really shocked when I copied it.

In addition to countless gold and silver treasures, there are also knives and other utensils in the mansions of the four major families.

This confirms their guilt.

How can a normal person collect a sword?

Zhu ordered these properties to be confiscated into the public treasury of the government office, and all the families of the four major families were arrested and imprisoned.

He wrote another letter, explaining the situation to the Son of Heaven and asking for a judgment.

After this set of combination punches, Zhejiang couldn't sit still at all.

There are many families in Tongwa, and the four major families are just one of the representatives.

Zhu Kun's doing this can be said to be an example of killing chickens and monkeys, and he just expressed his position.

If anyone dares to do things at this juncture, Zhu Jun doesn't mind raising the butcher's knife again.

Naturally, Zhejiang officialdom was also shocked.

Originally, they thought that they could bring down Zhu Kun in one fell swoop, so they decided to jointly write a letter.

But now it seems that Zhu Kun not only has a deep background, but also has a back hand.

Look at those maritime merchant families, it's really miserable.

At such times, no one dares to speak to these families.

Even if they have received countless benefits on weekdays, they only dare to be shrunken turtles at this moment.

When the news reached Jingshi, Emperor Jiajing was pleasantly surprised when he learned of Zhu Kun's behavior.

He was not accustomed to the unjust acts of collusion between officials and businessmen. It's just that there is no evidence to explain.

Now Zhu Kun has said and done everything he can't say and can't do, which makes Emperor Jiajing feel comfortable.

After some thought, Emperor Jiajing ordered Zhu Kun to immediately behead the maritime merchants involved in the case as an example.

As for the dependents of those merchants, they were exiled for three thousand miles.

This penalty is not insignificant.

Emperor Jiajing wanted to let people know the court's determination to ban the sea.

As for those who collude with the Japanese and turn their elbows outward, they are not worthy of being his people.

This holy decree of the Son of Heaven can be regarded as supporting Zhu Kun, and it also conclusively covers the coffin of this southeast case.

At this point, no one dared to write a letter to impeach Zhu Kun, because they knew very well that Zhu Kun was only the mouthpiece of the emperor, and it was the emperor himself who really wanted to move the maritime merchant faction.

Yan Dang does not take these maritime silvers on weekdays, but at this moment he still pretends to be deaf and dumb, and it has nothing to do with himself.

As far as Yan Song is concerned, as long as his vital interests are not involved, he will not stand up and make a statement.

In this way, those courtiers who were "admonished" became frosted eggplants one by one.

Not to mention the cane, he hasn't gained a reputation yet.

It's really laughable.

...

...

However, he said that the holy decree reached Hangzhou, and Zhu Kun was moved to tears.

The Son of Heaven trusted him so much that he chose to support him when he was most dangerous.

This moved Zhu Kun.

With a monarch like this, how could he not bow down and die?

The will of the Son of Heaven is very clear, and Zhu Kun only needs to do it.

He immediately ordered that the heads of the four major families and the heads of the four major families should be made exemplary.

The poor head of the four families didn't know who was the traitor until he died.

The heads of the four men were cut off and not buried with the bodies. Instead, it was hung on the city wall of Hangzhou to show the public.

Zhu Kun's purpose in doing this is, of course, to warn future generations, and no matter how much there is a collaborator, this will be the end.

The government will never tolerate it!

As for the family members, they were naturally exiled, so that they would not be angry and deliberately revenge.

What made Zhu Kun most pleased was that the government had seized a large amount of gold and silver property.

Zhejiang's military salary was already in an emergency, and Zhu Kun was worried about this matter, but now he was smiling.

Being able to take the confession so bloodlessly is definitely the credit of Xu Yan.

Zhu Kun naturally knows this.

He praised Xu Yan a lot, and even decided to write a letter to invite credit for Xu Yan.

However, this was rejected by Xu Yanwan.

The young man felt that he was still young, and there would be opportunities in the future, but he was not in a hurry.

Moreover, he is not an official after all, so there is no need to grab credit with Zhu Kun at this time.

As long as Zhu Yan is saved, it will be a big victory for Xu Yan.

After this incident, at least for the next few years, Zhu Kun can sit back and relax.

After a major incident, Xu Yan went to Gushan Academy alone.

Qian Dehong hadn't seen this good man for a long time, so he naturally thought about it.

finally met, but he said with a straight face: "Stinky boy, I don't know how to come to see him as a teacher for so long, I really have no conscience." ”

Xu Yan knew that his teacher was joking with him, and he was not angry in his heart, so he smiled indifferently and said, "Look at what you said, isn't this a student with something important?" As soon as this is done, I will hurry to see you old. ”

Qian Dehong glanced at Xu Yan and saw that he was holding a jar of good wine in his hand, so he nodded and said, "You still want to be a teacher." Let's fill a glass for the teacher. ”

Xu Yan knew that Qian Dehong was greedy, and he didn't say that he would pour wine for him with a grin.

This is Qian Dehong's favorite Ningbo soju, Xu Yan has not been willing to drink it after bringing it to Hangzhou, just to be able to please the old man.

Mr. Qian is a heavy drinker, but after a drink, he is very refreshed.

All worries have long been forgotten.

"There really are you kids, even these big rats have a way to clean up."

"The teacher knows everything?"

Xu Yan was slightly surprised.

Qian Dehong glanced at him and said: "If there is such a big movement, it is difficult for a teacher to even think about it." ”

Xu Yan scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Look at what you always said, the students are also thinking about the Governor. ”

"You're doing a good job."

Qian Dehong nodded, which can be regarded as a recognition of Xu Yan.

When he was an official in the court, he looked down on those traitorous villains the most, which offended the powerful and ended up being cut off from office.

Now that his students can be so backbone, Qian Dehong is naturally very pleased.

"Governor Zhu is a man who can do great things. It is good for you to be around him and sharpen more. ”

"Teacher, students don't know whether to say a word or not."

Xu Yan hesitated for a moment but said.

Qian Dehong rolled his eyes and said, "When did the teacher stop letting you speak?" ”

"Teacher, how sure do you think you are to participate in the township examination with the student's current talent?"

Qian Dehong thought he was going to ask something, but when he saw that he was asking about the township test, he stroked his beard and smiled: "Why are you in a hurry now?" No hurry, there's still a whole year. ”

The township test, also known as the autumn test, is held in autumn.

The most recent township test is in August next year.

If you really want to calculate it, it's only June, and there is still a whole year and two months.

Xu Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't the student at the bottom of his heart?" You have enough experience to give support, and students don't want to toss if they want to pass at one time. ”
