Chapter 404 Cutting Leeks and Rooting Planers
Yang Dudu's atrocities finally ignited the anger of the righteous people......
They verbally and penually attacked him.
Gu Qiyuan, the governor of Yingtian, rushed 500 miles the next day and sent a bloody and tearful complaint to the capital, accusing this executioner of slaughtering innocent people and mutilating the good gentry.
Five lives!
Among them is a well-respected fellow sage.
Although it is true that there are more than a hundred injured, but those crossbowmen except for the old countryman, the others are shooting legs, especially the thighs, and the stampede is very short because it is next to the courtyard, so the duration is very short, and even most of the latter ones only know that Yang Dudu did it later, after all, crossbows are not guns that can create a large-scale panic, and in the end, this Suzhou tragedy only killed five people.
These five people were buried by the righteous people, hundreds of thousands of people said goodbye when they were buried, and then denounced the crime of Yang thief in front of the grave......
"I'll just say that Zhou Shunchang sounds familiar!"
Yang Dudu said.
Originally, it was this guy who caused the Suzhou incident in history.
This can be regarded as the providence in the dark.
"Uncle, Zheng Zhiyan asks to see."
Yang Huan said.
"Bring him here."
Yang Dudu said.
In the cells behind him, the main males of the Liu, Xu, and Wang families are imprisoned, as well as those of the family who are on the arrest list headed by Zhou Shunchang.
Among them was Zheng Zhiyan's son, Zheng Yuanxun.
Yang Dudu's principle is very simple, if he is honestly arrested, then he will not arrest his family, but send an army to close his own family and his brother's uncle's family, because the Ming law is this range, I and my sons, fathers and ancestors have a total of four generations, and my uncle's family, and then there is no outside. Even if the father-in-law's family has nothing to do with it, the in-laws' family is also not involved, and even the daughter's marriage is not implicated, even if the marriage is not married, it is only sent to the family that is married.
Therefore, the door of this range must be sealed.
Then wait for the results of the interrogation, if you are convicted of raiding the house, then you will do it, and if you are sure not to raid the house, then the door will be lifted.
This time is usually very long, so if someone with ulterior motives wants to take the opportunity to kill the whole family of a political enemy, then they can buy the people who seal the door, and their family is not allowed to come out to buy anything, so eventually the food in the house runs out and they starve to death.
However, Yang Dudu will definitely not do this.
In fact, the Jinyi Guards stationed in the garrison will buy it on their behalf, and they can call a troupe if they want, but the price is up to the Jinyi Guard.
Craving meat?
Yes, a pound of pork and a tael of silver.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Yang Dudu, this is those Jinyi guards who are ignorant,
But if you refuse to be arrested by him honestly, just like the three people in the capital who went to the Keshi Gate and are still at large, then don't blame Yang Du for arresting their whole family, there is not a single men, women and children left, and they are all arrested in Nanjing Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi. There are also Jinyiwei here, but the Jinyiwei here is really a pure nursing home, for example, those noble families basically have Jinyiwei official positions, but the nursing home belongs to the nursing home, and the yamen still has it.
But he's not a Jinyi guard.
He is a native of Nanjing Yulin Left Guard, and is an army general, with the title of commander of the capital to serve as the governor of Nanjing Right Army, the secretary of the palace of the Nanjing Jinyi Guard.
But now it's Yang Dudu.
Yang Dudu personally took charge of the Nanjing Jinyi Seal.
However, Nanjing Jinyiwei is different from Beijing Jinyiwei, the latter's Beizhen Fusi has actually been out of the control of Jinyiwei's palm print, and is theoretically a subordinate institution of Jinyiwei, but in fact, it has its own Beizhen Fusi seal and is directly responsible to the emperor, so Jinyiwei's palm print and Beizhen Fusi's palm print are juxtaposed. However, the former controls the Nanya, that is, the Nanzhen Fusi who is aimed at the internal discipline of Jinyiwei, so he has the right to arrest the people of the Northern Ya, but he has no right to interfere with the authority of the Northern Ya.
Of course, this is not the case in practice.
Because Beiya is the loyal dog of the eunuch party, the real minions, and they are more trusted than the palm prints of Jinyiwei.
However, Nanjing Jinyiwei is different, there is no separate Nanjing Beizhen Fusi seal here, only Nanjing Jinyiwei seal, so Nanjing Jinyiwei palm print really masters the whole guard, before Zhang Keda's palm print is useless, and Nanjing Jinyiwei has no real power. But Yang Xin's palm print is different, he can use resources such as the personnel and official offices of Nanjing Jinyiwei, and then use his concurrent management of Beijing Jinyiwei Beiya to arrest and interrogate people, and finally turn Nanjing Jinyiwei into the same demon cave.
And Zheng Zhiyan, a salt merchant in Yangzhou, walked into the devil's cave tremblingly, just like the last time he was in Yangzhou, he faced Yang Dudu.
Next to it was a ghost crying wolf.
"What are you crying about, one whip per person!"
Yang Huan shouted.
Those wolf-like brocade guards walked into those cells, picked up their whips and whipped wildly, and then the screams of those boys and buddies.
Yang Xin sat on the Taishi's chair and looked at Zheng Zhiyan like a wolf in the swaying firelight.
As soon as the latter's legs were weak, he lay directly at his feet.
"Zheng Saijiu, you disappointed me!"
Yang Dudu said gloomily.
His voice was as cold as the winter outside.
"Governor, beg Governor for mercy, the little one really doesn't know that little beast is colluding with the Qin criminal!"
Zheng Zhiyan cried.
His son's screams rang out.
"Do you think I'll believe it?
I gave you a chance last time.
It is true that I have received some silver from you, but this silver is not much, you earn so much silver every year, and it is also your loyalty to Your Majesty to hand over some help to Your Majesty, and your good life is given by Your Majesty, if Your Majesty directly decrees that everyone can sell salt and sell salt, can you still be as fine as you are now?
Be grateful.
Your wealth is given by Your Majesty, and when Your Majesty needs your help, you are also duty-bound.
But how do you do it?
I was really disappointed.
His Majesty was also disappointed.
Forget it, the matter has come to this point, it's useless to say anything more, if you want to come, your son won't last a few days, and after he confesses, you will wait to raid the house, we can be regarded as old friends, I will ask Your Majesty to intercede for you, your son's life will definitely not be saved, as for you, your youngest son and the rest of the men, you are ready to go to the East China Sea to be with Zheng Zheng and those people. ”
Yang Xin said.
"Governor, the villain is willing to offer 500,000 taels to help His Majesty repair the three major halls."
Zheng Zhiyan gritted his teeth and said.
"Uh, that's it, take that letter quickly, I'll take a look at it again, don't wronged Zheng Gongzi."
Yang Xin instantly changed his face.
Zheng Zhiyan let out a sigh of relief, he guessed correctly.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Dudu found that the letter seemed to have something that still needed to be studied, so let's stop the torture of Zheng Gongzi first......
"We must not let go of a bad person, but we must not wronged a good person, you must take this matter as a warning, reflect deeply, and there must be no next time."
Yang Dudu righteously rebuked his nephew.
His nephew and those brocade guards hurriedly accepted it with humility.
"Zheng Xijiu, you go back and wait first, if it is really found out that Ling Lang is wronged, Yang will definitely let him go back, we are all old friends, I am also his elder, I will not be embarrassed for him, but if he does commit a crime, I will not bend the law for personal gain, this has to continue to investigate, during this investigation, you have to be wronged for a few more days, fortunately, it is winter now, and it will not affect your business." As for the fact that you offer 300,000 taels to help Your Majesty repair the three major halls, you can write a separate recital to me, and I will help you play Your Majesty. ”
Yang Xin then said to Zheng Zhiyan.
Zheng Zhiyan thanked him for his kindness, and then hurriedly left this ghost place.
As for why 500,000 became 300,000......
Of course, this is Yang Dudu's sympathy for him! Since the governor is so considerate of him, of course he can't be ignorant, and the remaining 200,000 will be given to the governor.
After all, Yang Dudu spent a bit of money this year.
"Uncle, wouldn't it be better to raid his house? The Zheng family's current family property is estimated to be no less than two million, is it too cheap to only charge him 500,000 now? ”
Yang Huan asked curiously.
"Do you eat leeks and planing them by the roots? Can't you cut and eat a stubble?
They are not those official eunuch families, the official eunuch families are nothing more than their ancestors, the Xu family does have money, but that is what Xu Jie saved for them, how much money can Xu Bengao make a year with a fictitious position of receiving a fortune? Such people will not save the next stubble for us if they keep it, and maybe even one day it will be cheaper for others, so of course they must clean it up, and by the way, turn their family's land into a royal field. But these salt merchants are different from them, salt merchants can continue to make money, and they can earn millions of taels of silver a year, and the Zheng family is now paying 500,000 taels, and they can earn it back in three years at most.
So why don't we keep them and continue to make money?
After three years, they will only find some more crimes, and they will not be able to find them at any time if they want to find crimes?
In this case, are you willing to make 2 million at a time, or are you willing to make 500,000 at a time of three years, and then keep fishing like this? ”
His uncle said.
"Well, my nephew was taught."
Yang Huan hurriedly said.
It is said that his admiration for his uncle is like the water of the Yellow River at this moment.
The Zheng family is the largest salt merchant family in Yangzhou, and they control the salt supply of millions of people. Therefore, the salt merchants can only cut the leeks and cannot cut the roots, and the leeks must also be cut to a limited extent, and if they can't cut them, they will fall, and there is no other better salt industry rule for them, and they can only adopt this way.
They are not parasites who rely on land annexation.
They are still useful.
"Dudu, those literati who wept in the temple have arrived at the Temple of Literature."
A brocade guard came over and reported.
"Crying Temple, I like to watch such a big show."
Yang Dudu said somewhat happily.
