Volume 4 Chapter 23 The Wicked Need the Wicked to Grind
Outside Zhengyang Gate, in the middle of Guanyin Temple Street, there is a huge mansion.
This mansion covers an area of thousands of acres, among which the buildings and pavilions are all over, the flowers and trees are flourishing, and all kinds of strange stone carvings can be seen everywhere, which is a few mansions in the capital.
This is the Ming Shizong Jiajing Emperor rewarded the palm of the pearl Ning'an Princess Zhu Luyuan's mansion, after the Jiajing Dynasty, Ming Muzong Longqing Emperor to this gentle and virtuous sister is also favored, given gold and silver jewelry is not counted, and into the title of Ning'an eldest princess, to the Wanli Dynasty, Mingshenzong to this aunt grace as before, the same given gold and silver jewelry is not counted, and into the title of Ning'an eldest princess.
In the thirty-fifth year of Wanli, the eldest princess of Ning'an, and her son Li Chengen inherited this mansion.
It stands to reason that he lives in a few mansions in the capital, his family has endless money, and the emperor is his cousin, so Li Chengen should live a fairy-like life.
At the beginning, it was indeed a fairy-like day, and Emperor Wanli of Mingshenzong always thought of his aunt, and he never forgot to take care of his cousin, and he couldn't forget the reward during the New Year's holidays.
It's a pity that Li Chengen's fairy-like days have only passed for more than ten years, and his cousin Emperor Wanli died, followed by his cousin Emperor Mingguangzong Taichang who succeeded to the throne for a month, and his nephew Emperor Mingxizong Tianqi Emperor succeeded to the throne not long after, and his nightmare began.
Because Wei Zhongxian, the great eunuch in the palace, fell in love with his mansion and wanted to buy it and give it to his concubine, he smiled at Pomeranian.
The mansion of the eldest princess of Ning'an, this implication is also quite good, comparing the Hakka family to the eldest princess, the beauty must be smiling more happily.
Will Lee Seung-eun sell?
It is impossible to sell, he is not short of money, besides, this is given to his mother by his grandfather Emperor Jiajing of Ming Shizong, he doesn't dare to sell it if he wants to!
What Father-in-law Wei wants, it is quite face-saving to be able to buy it with you, not because you are the emperor's grandfather, and he robbed you directly, what can you do?
If you don't sell it, you will find death!
As a result, the ornaments left by his mother became a forbidden object for him to steal the palace, and Gonggong Wei directly used this as an excuse to sentence him to death and confiscate the mansion.
Many of the things left by his mother are indeed in the palace, but they are all rewarded by the emperors of Jiajing, Longqing, and Wanli, what are they stolen!
After Emperor Chongzhen punished Gonggong Wei, he often went home to make trouble, wanting to take back his mansion.
Well, it's actually this mansion that is haunted.
Immediately afterwards, the Hakka who had visited here also remembered this and often came back to linger.
Well, in fact, there is more than one ghost in this mansion.
Since the first year of Chongzhen, it has become a famous murderous house in the capital, the one that makes trouble is called a murder, and it is the male ghost who shouts injustice, and the female ghost laughs, "Li Chengen" and "Keshi" often fight in it, and it is rumored that all the people who have gone in are dead, and there are often all kinds of corpses in the house.
The corpses are real, the officials of Shuntian Mansion found a Yang Riyang when the yang energy was the heaviest and went in to investigate, and really found a few corpses, and besides, "Li Chengen" and "Keshi" were full of big pits, these two ghosts are fierce!
Chongzhen didn't know which royal relative had mentioned this matter, so he ordered Luo Yangxing to send someone to investigate, after all, it was his grandmother's mansion, and it would be unreasonable to ignore it.
The brocade guards sent by Luo Yangxing squatted for nearly a month, and finally found out.
In fact, there are no ghosts in it at all, ghosts are pretended to be people, and these people are the family members and nurses of the original Li Chengen Mansion.
They vaguely knew that before Li Chengen was captured and executed by Wei Zhongxian, he buried all the gold, silver and jewelry left by the eldest princess of Ning'an in the mansion, so after Wei Zhongxian fell, they pretended to be ghosts to scare people away and dug everywhere inside.
As for the corpses, they were stolen from the mass graves outside the capital to frighten them.
The truth was revealed, but no one believed it, and no one dared to approach this super murderous mansion, and Chongzhen was not good at sending people to guard this kind of mansion, let alone give his grandmother's mansion to others, so this mansion was completely deserted.
However, on this night, the mansion looked haunted again, and there were so many ghosts!
Luo Yangxing directly asked Qi Panzong to take a few cronies to pretend to be robbers, go to the mansion of Huang Chenghao, the right capital, and tie him up, and let them leave a sentence and let Huang Chenghao's concubine Xiao Taohong prepare 10,000 taels of silver, otherwise he will kill Huang Chenghao.
After Qi Panzong kidnapped Huang Chenghao, he directly sent him to the murderous mansion, and Zhang Bin also took his two teams of guards to dress up and came to the murderous mansion.
The hall of the murderous house was brightly lit, Zhang Bin smeared his face black, and brought a one-eyed dragon blindfold, dressed as a bandit, sitting on the main seat, a team of guards also smeared his face black, standing fiercely on both sides of the hall, this place has become a public court for Africans, all black.
Of course, the Huang Chenghao who was thrown on the ground was not black, and his face turned white with fright at this moment.
At night, he was holding the rise of the little peach play, a few men in black suddenly broke in, with a knife to force him to give silver, as a result, he hurriedly put on his clothes, and turned around for a long time before turning out a few hundred taels of silver, this gang of robbers quit, left a sentence, let the little peach go to prepare 10,000 taels of silver, and then tied him up.
10,000 taels of silver, he has it, but it is at his wife's house, and his lady is holding it in the hands of Jiannu.
At this time, he regretted it a little, in order to pamper the newly bought famous prostitute Xiao Taohong in the North Courtyard Teaching Division, he directly drove the lady of the main room and the two concubines and two children to the mansion of Nanyuan Flower Township, and the silver in the mansion in the capital was almost spent by him, and he was about to take time to go to the mansion of Nanyuan Flower Township to get some silver, and as a result, Jiannu called.
He originally thought that with the defense of the capital and the garrisons around the capital, tens of thousands of Jiannu would run back if they couldn't fight for a few days, but he didn't expect that Jiannu not only didn't leave, but also ran to Nanyuan and surrounded his mansion.
Fortunately, the slave chieftain Emperor Taiji did not treat his wife and children well, and discussed with him, as long as he impeached Yuan Chonghuan, he would give him 50,000 taels of silver as a reward, and he also placed a deposit of 5,000 taels in advance and handed it over to his wife.
It's just that Xiao Taohong can't get this silver, not to mention that the capital is under martial law at this time, even if there is no martial law in the capital, Xiao Taohong doesn't want to get 10,000 taels of silver from his wife.
In order to spoil this little peach, he directly threw his wife and children into Nanyuan Flower Township, and even Jiannu came to attack the capital and didn't let them come back, so it was strange that Xiao Peach could get 10,000 taels of silver from them.
What to do, what to do?
Huang Chenghao is anxiously trying to figure out a way, and Zhang Bin is also thinking about how to perform this play well.
Wicked people still need wicked people to grind, and he is ready to pretend to be a wicked person and grind this Huang Chenghao well.
After thinking for a while, he habitually grabbed the coffee table with his right hand, and as a result, it was not a shocking wood but a teacup.
He simply put the teacup on the coffee table, and then said sharply: "Huang Chenghao, do you know who Uncle I am?" ”
Huang Chenghao hurriedly kowtowed to the ground and said: "Hero, hero, I have 10,000 taels of silver, you give me some time, let me think about it, how to get it for you." ”
Zhang Bin snorted coldly: "Hmph, silver, it's the silver you earned from selling our Yuan Dugong to Jiannu!" Do you think we don't know, it was you who fornicated with Jiannu, accepted the money from Jiannu, and in turn slandered our Yuan Du for private Jiannu. You traitor, Qin Hui is not a traitor to you, for a little silver, you slandered our Yuan Dugong and betrayed the Ming Dynasty, are you still human? ”
When Huang Chenghao heard this, he was immediately frightened and sweating, Yuan, Yuan, Yuan Dugong, Yuan Chonghuan, it's over.
The so-called show talent meets soldiers, it is unreasonable, these big soldiers are unreasonable!
He stubbornly said: "No, this military master, I confiscated the silver of Jiannu, that silver is the income of thousands of acres of land outside my city, not the silver of Jiannu." ”
Zhang Bin snorted coldly: "Confiscate the silver, confiscate the silver, why do you want to frame our Yuan Dugong?" ”
Huang Chenghao's eyes rolled, and he quibbled: "It's not that I want to slander you Yuan Dugong, it's Wang Jikui, the imperial historian of the city, who intercepted the letter written by Huang Taiji to your Yuan Dudu, handed it to me, and let me play it." I can't help it, such a big thing, I don't play, he will participate in me, and I will die. ”
This is called the Misfortune of the East, the Dead Daoist Friends are not the Poor Dao, you go to Wang Jikui for trouble!
What he thought was very wonderful, but unfortunately, Zhang Bin was not Yuan Chonghuan's subordinate, Zhang Bin already had a general understanding of what he was doing, and it was strange that this kind of little trick could deceive Zhang Bin.
Zhang Bin sneered directly: "Yes, lose the car and protect the handsome, you even sell your subordinates, it's shameless enough, I don't know Wang Jikui, but I know Wang Dayong, do you want me to dig out other people's heads and show you?" ”
When Huang Chenghao heard this, his face changed drastically, these people actually killed Wang Dayong, before killing Wang Dayong, they must have asked what happened, it's over, it's over!
He thought for a while in a panic, and immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy: "This military master spares his life, I can't help it, Jiannu arrested my wife and children, if I don't do what they say, my wife and children will be finished, you know, what happens to women in their hands, I can't help it!" ”
Zhang Bin said in disgust: "No way, what do you mean no way, you can ask our Yuan Dugong to send troops to save it, when the time comes, even if your wife and children are burned, it will be better than you framing Yuan Dugong." Do you know how important Yuan Dugong is to Daming, and Guan Ningjin's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians are not as good as your wife and children? If Jiannu breaks through the Guanningjin defense line, do you know how many ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty will suffer because of this? You are a selfish person, you are embarrassed to use your wife and children as a shield, do you think we don't know that you have received Huang Taiji silver, tell you, Wang Da used all the tricks! ”
When Huang Chenghao heard this, he looked at Zhang Bin with fear on his face, and he didn't know how to quibble for a while.
Zhang Bin directly glanced at his guards, asked them to move a small table in front of Huang Chenghao, and then asked them to take out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and put it on a small table, and then said viciously: "You'd better discuss with Huang Taiji and frame our Yuan Dugong in detail, let us take it to rescue Yuan Dugong, if Yuan Dugong is rescued, we will let you go, otherwise, hum." ”
Huang Chenghao shook his head with fear on his face and said: "No, no, I won't write, fornicating with the slaves is going to punish the nine clans, and the main culprit will be executed by Ling Chi, I won't write, I won't write." ”
Zhang Bin slapped the table angrily and scolded: "Do you still know that fornicating with Jiannu will punish the nine clans, and the main culprit will be executed by Ling Chi?" For a little silver, you disregarded the safety of the Ming Dynasty and brutalized Zhongliang, do you still have humanity? ”
When Huang Chenghao heard this, his face was distorted and he thought for a while, and then he shouted loudly: "What can I do, Jiannu arrested my wife and children, if I don't impeach you Yuan Dugong, they will humiliate my wife and children to death, I impeached Yuan Dugong, not only will they not touch my wife and children, but they will also give me money, in exchange for you, how do you choose?" ”
Zhang Bin sneered: "In exchange for me, I will choose to save my wife and children by myself, and I will never care about Daming's safety for myself!" ”
Huang Chenghao had already let it go, and he sneered at each other: "It's easy to say, go to Jiannu to save people, you are a god when you are a god." ”
Zhang Bin sneered: "I'm not a god, but I have already rescued your wife and children, and I have also helped you move to the capital with the silver in your wardrobe compartment." ”
Huang Chenghao was stunned when he heard this, knowing the silver in the compartment of his wardrobe, he must have been to his mansion in Nanyuan Huaxiang, these people really rescued his wife and children!
Zhang Bin then said viciously: "Now, I only ask you, do you write or not?" ”
Huang Chenghao shook his head with a complicated expression and said: "I won't write, you can kill me, write it, my wife and children will still die, I will be executed by Ling Chi, in exchange for you, will you write?" ”
Zhang Bin stared at him and said gloomily: "Do you think that we will not be lingchi, do you think that we will not abuse your wife and children?" Tell you, if you don't write, we will put you to death now, your wife, concubine, we will take the army, tell all the soldiers, who they are, and, your daughter, your son, we will greet you well! ”
When Huang Chenghao heard this, he pointed at Zhang Bin angrily and said, "You, do you still have humanity?" ”
Zhang Bin smiled gloomily: "We only talk about human nature with people with humanity, and now I ask you again, to write, or not to write?" ”
Huang Chenghao thought for a long time with a complicated expression, but he didn't make a sound.
Seeing this, Zhang Bin immediately coaxed: "You wrote, we can send you, your family, and your silver to Guanwai, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, no one can control you, and you can live the rest of your life in style." ”
Huang Chenghao struggled for a long time, and finally raised his head and said: "I write, but you have to give me 50,000 taels of silver, and my little money is not enough for me to live for the rest of my life." ”
More than 20,000 taels of silver, more than 500 taels of gold, adding up to almost 50,000 taels of silver, not enough for him to live for the rest of his life, the common people can't earn a few hundred taels of silver in their lives, how can they survive.
At this time, he is still greedy for pleasure, okay, anyway, it's all a lie to you, more to cheat and less to cheat, Zhang Bin pretended to be in pain and nodded: "Okay, we'll give you this money, you write it to me right now." ”
Huang Chenghao's eyes rolled, and he bargained: "How can I believe you, I wrote what if you don't give the silver?" ”
Zhang Bin snorted coldly in his heart, not only will I not give you silver, but I will also hand you over to Chongzhen for disposal, you scumbag, you still want to harm people outside the Guan, let you go to the Guanwai and you must immediately defect to Huang Taiji!
However, on the surface, he still coaxed: "I will naturally give you what I promised, you can rest assured of this." ”
Huang Chenghao said very uneasily: "No, there is no guarantee, I won't write it." ”
Zhang Bin is so angry, he stood up directly, pulled out the broken blade on the waist of a guard next to him, stepped forward and said viciously against Huang Chenghao's nose: "I don't remember how many knives Ling Chi has, otherwise, I'll cut a few hundred knives first?" ”
Huang Chenghao was so frightened that he hurriedly picked up the pen and said: "Don't, don't, don't, I'll write, I'll write." ”
