Chapter 162 What about loyal ministers and righteous people?
"Look, how good is that!"
Yang Xin looked at the slender man who was coming quite proudly and said.
Is it hard to find a slender man?
There is no shortage of slender men around Zhangjiawan, in fact, including wharf coolies, after all, it is very rare to say that the ship is here to be downwindy, and most of the time it has to be pulled by slender men, and the entire canal north of Yangcun must be equipped with slender men. It can be said that three hundred miles from Yangcun, unless there is a tailwind under special circumstances, all have to rely on the slender man to drag those boats over step by step, and Zhangjiawan City as a hub, there are many slender men, and they all build shacks nearby, and some of the better conditions are only a few thatched houses with wind and rain leakage.
And at this time, it has actually begun to freeze.
After all, it was already the middle of October, and most of the slender men had stopped and waited to survive the hardest winter ahead.
If there is such a good thing, then don't hurry.
The mighty army of slender men, one by one wearing tattered clothes, with those yellow-faced and thin-skinned wives and children, under the leadership of Jinyiwei, accompanied by the stunned eyes of those idlers, rushed to the picturesque beauty of the Li family's garden, like a garbage belt rushing into the city streets in the flood, surrounded by landmark buildings in the most prosperous business district, and there was a chaotic chaos along the way......
Many of them don't actually have any clothes to wear, not to mention naked.
This is the real destitute.
They are like the dirt beneath this bustling commercial city, and although they pull everything here with their shoulders, nothing here belongs to them.
The land does not belong to them.
The abundance of goods in the shops does not belong to them.
They are bustling step by step, but prosperity has nothing to do with them, what they struggle to ask for is only to barely survive in this prosperity, as for the clean cyan opposite their sun-drenched swar, it is even more like another world with them.
Cyan is also looking at them.
The green insects who worshiped Li Sancai looked at the humblest color of the land in amazement.
Sun Qifeng looked up at Yang Xin.
Yang Xin raised his hand to him again with a weird smile on his face......
"Bring it!"
Yang Xin then waved his hand and said.
The Jinyi guard in the back immediately brought out a table with cotton cloth on it, and the Jinyi guard in front came over with the slender men, stopped five zhang away, and then led one of them forward. The man still had a barely visible piece of clothing on his body, and the woman and the two children were all wrapped in sacks, and the woman should still have clothes inside, but there were too many tattered and exposed places. Before they could reach the table, they all fell to their knees, crying excitedly, saying nothing, lying on the table and kowtowing desperately, and the woman's head was bleeding.
"Get up, this official raided the Li family by the will of the Long Live Lord, and rewarded the slender man with winter clothes, you still know that the Li family is bad on weekdays, but you can report it to the official one by one."
Yang Xin said with a pleasant face.
"Back to the master's words, the little one has pulled the boat for the Li family for many years, and I have never seen them pay taxes at the banknote, and in June this year, a person on the Li family's boat did not know what happened, and was beaten to death by his family's domestic slaves and sank in a sack."
The slender man said.
"You lie!"
A green worm next to him roared angrily.
"Do you know where you are sinking?"
Yang Xin ignored this guy and continued to ask.
"Back to the master, just in the river over there, the sack is filled with stones, and it can't be washed away for a while, it is estimated that it will be silted into the sediment, if the cold water recedes today, the water there is not as deep as the waist, find more people to go over and use the hook to hold it may still be found, this is what the villain saw with his own eyes, there is no falsehood!"
The slender man said.
"Come here!"
Yang Xin said to his woman.
The woman hurriedly stepped forward, Yang Xin immediately threw the cloth in front of him to the ground, and quickly pulled out a section about ten meters long, a brocade guard immediately cut it with a knife, Yang Xin wrapped up this piece of cloth, and then threw it to the woman kneeling in front of him......
"Take it, go home and make clothes!"
He said.
The woman wept and kowtowed.
"As for you, go over there and write down the details of the case and then lead the way to fish, if you fish it out, you will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, and if you can't get it out, you will be given a tael of silver."
Immediately afterwards, Yang Xin said to the slender man.
The latter immediately went to record the case with Jinyiwei.
"Next!"
Yang Xin looked at Sun Qifeng and said with a smile.
The second slender man came over, and the man said immediately without him asking: "Back to the master, the villain has seen the Li family's boat carrying private salt, and more than once, just the boat pulled by the villain, at least tens of thousands of stone of private salt a year, no one cares about passing the money pass, the villain remembers the steward on the ship, if you think about it, you can remember the days." ”
"Very good, go over there and record!"
Yang Xin said with satisfaction.
Then he tore another piece of cloth that was enough for the whole family to make clothes and threw it to the woman who was a slender man.
"Next, no wonder the Li family is so rich, smuggling, selling smuggled salt, killing people and goods, this is simply doing all kinds of evil, Lu Taigong, Ling Lang is jealous and hateful, Ling Zun is also known for his loyalty, you come to worship such a person, I don't know if Ling Zun's spirit in the sky can rest in peace?"
He shouted at the deer.
The deer looked at him expressionlessly.
But those green worms immediately scolded, and then this stinky shameless man took out the gold medal again......
"Shut up!"
Yang Xin held the gold medal and shouted very dryly.
Lu Zheng raised his hand to signal all the green insects not to make noise, and then he looked at Yang Xin, stood up with the support of Sun Qifeng and Zhang Guozhong, and made a ...... to Yang Xin
"Yang Tongzhi slandered a deceased person with these things that catch the wind and shadows, isn't he afraid of God's punishment? You do have a gold medal in your hand, you have indeed fought a bloody battle to defend the Dacheng Palace, and at this moment, the old man can only thank you as a saint disciple. However, Yang Tongzhi considers himself the guardian of the Confucian Temple, but he is willing to be a pawn of the eunuch party, doesn't he feel ashamed of Confucius's spirit in the sky? ”
He said.
"Then let me ask Mrs. Lu, you are also in your old age, and you can be regarded as an old man.
So can you pat your conscience and say, where did the Li family's wealth come from? Does the Li family pay taxes according to the law or does the Li family never sell smuggled salt? The Li family has no homicide cases or has the Li family never taken it by force? He was not so arrogant that he even dared to steal the wood from the Royal Wood Factory? When he was the governor of Caoyun, he didn't let Caochuan give his Li family free goods, and he never filled his own pockets when he was the head of the household?
Deer Taigong.
We are all understanding people.
You know how he went from being the son of a small cloth dealer to a rich country, and I know how many crimes he committed that deserved to be ruined.
In that case, don't do any more useless stuff!
It's all for anyone who doesn't pick it up! ”
Yang Xin said with a smile.
"Do you know what evil the Li family has done?"
Then he turned his head and asked the new one in front of him.
"Well, you're not a slender man."
Yang Xin said unexpectedly.
"Back to the master, the villain is a coolie on the dock, and the villain came to report the Li family for fornicating with slaves."
The man said.
The insects cursed.
A few of them were still moving forward, but Yang Xin's eyes immediately retracted......
"Listen to it, if it's true, it's just as rewarding."
Yang Xin said.
"Back to the master's words, the villain heard that one of his house slaves was drunk and said that their master actually had trade contacts with Jiannu, transporting grain from the south every year, and then transporting it from Dengzhou to North Korea to sell it to Jiannu, and then selling ginseng from Jiannu and the like."
The coolie said.
"What's this house slave's name?"
Yang Xin asked.
"It's called Li Quan."
The coolie said.
"Take him and find out this Li Quan, and if there is indeed such a thing, he will be rewarded with two hundred taels of silver."
Yang Xin said.
Then he looked at Lu Zheng......
"What about loyal and righteous people?"
He said proudly.
In fact, this is inevitable, the most lacking thing in wild boar skin is food, and he still controls Yizhou and Zhenjiang at the mouth of the Yalu River, that is, Jiulian City in the northeast of Dan, where is the most important fortress of the Ming Dynasty at the mouth of the Yalu River, Zhenjiang Fort.
But at this time, the Ming army only controlled as far as Sanyang in this area.
Zhenjiang Fort and the city of Yiju in North Korea on the other side are under the control of wild boar skin, as well as the original Kwandian Liubao, and the most important purpose of wild boar skin control of this area is to trade with smugglers from the south to the north. The Jin merchants, who controlled Yangzhou's salt industry, procured grain from the south and traveled north to Dengzhou, where they traded with merchants who called Koreans who were actually agents of Jiannu, and then shipped to Phi Dao, where the Koreans transported them to Zhenjiang in small boats to be handed over to Jiannu.
As for such consequences......
For the merchants of the two countries in the Ming Dynasty, did they need to care about this issue?
Just get the money.
What's more, this is still the acquiescence and even encouragement of Guanghai Jun, the second or fifth boy, because the wild boar skin will not go to him to slaughter the city if there is food, which is the main source of food supplement for the wild boar skin at present, and Li Sancai, as the northern merchant with the closest relationship with the southern gentry, if he doesn't participate in this kind of smuggling, what the hell!
The deer was silently watching him.
This thief is too insidious!
In this way, he turned a memorial to the loyal and righteous into a report meeting for his crimes.
Their memorial became a joke.
The people around were all locals, and they all knew very well what the Li family had done, but all the gentry had done such things.
Who doesn't evade taxes?
Who doesn't sell smuggled salt?
Who doesn't take it by force?
Like this vulgar guy said, whoever picks it up is.
Didn't they beautify Li Sancai as a loyal and righteous man? Li Sancai's rebellion was indeed wronged, Yang Xin knew this very well, of course he knew what he had done, Li Sancai's conviction was also very hasty, if the two sides really debated Li Sancai's rebellion, Yang Xin couldn't defend them. This thief knew this very well, so he directly shifted his target and lured these locals, slender men, and coolies who were familiar with the Li family, to turn over the things that could not be put on the table of the Li family.
At that time, who still cared if Li Sancai rebelled or not?
He has gone from a loyal and righteous man to a heinous man!
And the people who mourn them, in the eyes of these locals who remember what Li Sancai's family has done, are just a group of clowns.
It's true.
As more and more people came out and fell into the ground, the various crimes of Li Sancai's family were revealed one after another, and the onlookers looked at them, and they really turned into watching a group of clowns.
