In fact, this loyal servant of the Zhang family did not survive the torture of Jinyiwei......

After all, chrysanthemum blooming is no joke.

The concubine and the account book, the guy in charge of smuggling and the grain that had been loaded on the ship, this was already all Yang Qing needed, and then Yang Qing played Chongzhen with this, of course, the little concubine became loyal and took advantage of the chaos of the Yangzhou mutiny, and took the initiative to escape from the report with the account books. His Majesty the Emperor was of course furious at this, this is the crime of treason, and the Ming Dynasty conspiracy and rebellion are both crimes of the same level, and then his will to raid the family was quickly sent to the criminal department. The criminal department gave Li Qing a native of Xinghua, Yangzhou, and it is estimated that there has been a hook-up with Hui Shang, and he immediately signed the driving sticker after receiving the holy decree, and then before Yang Qing led the Jinyi Guard to arrive, Huang Fei's soldiers had already trapped the Zhang family and all their relatives in Yang.

The Zhang family reacted too late.

They can't run anymore if they want to.

After Yang Qing arrived, he went directly to his house.

The Zhang family can be said to have missed all the nets, and all the members of Yangzhou copied out a total of more than one million taels of gold, silver and jewelry, not counting shops and other property, and the valuation of the seized properties will not be less than one million, and then ......

Then the government and the opposition were shocked.

"Your Majesty, the Zhang clan is a law-abiding businessman, and he was first the head of the Wanli Dynasty of the Divine Sect, how can he falsely accuse the Zhulian Nine Clans because of a few subordinates?"

Ma Minglu shouted angrily.

The Zhang family is actually the descendants of Zhang Siwei, the first assistant of the Wanli Dynasty to receive Zhang Juzheng, their family has been a salt merchant for almost two hundred years, from Zhang Siwei's grandfather's generation has been rich on the first side, and later Zhang Siwei was the first assistant in the court, and his younger brother Zhang Sijiao was a salt merchant in Yangzhou, which can be said to be very free, Zhang Siwei's two sons are also Jinshi and first, and the Zhang family can be said to enjoy all the glory and wealth until now.

I didn't expect it to be served all of a sudden.

The government and the opposition are in an uproar!

In particular, the Western businessmen were even more indignant, thousands of Western businessmen and employees blocked Ma Minglu's yamen, and some people petitioned in blood, although his own position was military affairs, but Bingbeidao was not an official rank, and his real official title was to inspect the military garrison according to the deputy envoy of the judge, and of course he had the duty to maintain local justice.

Then it is a responsibility.

Not only him, at this time, many officials in the DPRK and China were also in the book, accusing Jinyiwei of his rash actions, saying that after the Zhang family was also a loyal minister, Zhang Siwei could be said to have contributed to correcting Zhang Juzheng's evil government, how many virtuous ministers who were persecuted by Zhang Juzheng were reactivated during his tenure as the first assistant, although he was the first assistant for only a little more than a year, but it played an important role in setting things right, how could his descendants collude with Jiannu?

It's not okay for someone to report it!

Jiang Guomao is a salt merchant, and he and the Zhang family are originally business rivals, so he can't wait to kill the Zhang family!

As for the physical evidence......

What kind of physical evidence is that?

The ship was in Songjiang, not in Gaizhou.

Did the crew really have to sail to Gaizhou when they said they were heading to Gaizhou? Before it arrived, it could not be said that it was sending food to Jiannu.

As for witnesses......

What right does a concubine have to speak, it is nothing more than a slave and maid, and if you want to rush over and sue the master, not only will the government not accept it, but the slave and maid will still be guilty! As for those guys, what can't be said about bending into tricks to survive?

As for the books......

Spurious!

These evil slaves forged under the instruction of some people with ulterior motives in order to frame their masters, it is definitely forged, if it is searched out in the Zhang family, it can be said that it is their family, but this is handed over by a yin woman, it is not a forgery, and even how the concubine stole people was found to take the opportunity to escape, in order to avoid being caught by the Zhang family, the story of deliberately forging account books and falsely accusing the Zhang family began to circulate, I have to say that these guys reacted quickly enough.

"Your Majesty, it is better to hand this matter over to the Criminal Department for interrogation, so as to reassure the people."

Xie Xuelong said cautiously.

"Xie Shangshu, this case of treason with the enemy is not bothered by the Ministry of Punishment, since our Jinyiwei has taken over, of course we must strictly investigate it!"

Yang Qing said.

"Jin Yiwei is not guilty under torture, but he is also beaten into a trick!"

Ma Minglu said disdainfully.

"Ha, it seems that the criminal department and the prosecutor do not have torture tools, to say that the brother is far worse than the prosecutor, our Jinyiwei has always been civilized in law enforcement, but we have not beaten people to the flesh and blood and do not distinguish the human form, I don't believe that we will pull out the prisoners of the two families and compare them to see whose prisoner looks the worst!"

Yang Qing said.

He was right.

"There is no need to quarrel anymore, since the Zhang family is a famous minister, it is true that he should not act hastily, but since this case has been taken care of by Jinyiwei, there is no need to transfer it to the criminal department, or continue to be interrogated by Jinyiwei, but his ancestors have meritorious service in the imperial court, and torture must not be used carefully during interrogation. If Zhang's crime is verified, it must not be spared, his ancestor is a famous minister, and then he should be more loyal to the Ming Dynasty. This case can be a precedent, in the future, if there are eunuchs who collaborate with the enemy and treason, if it is verified, the crime will be increased by one degree, and all cases of treason with the enemy will be responsible for the Jinyi Wei Beiya in the future. ”

Chongzhen said impatiently.

Of course he will not let the Zhang family fall into the Criminal Department, this kind of eunuch family is intertwined, and the relationship network is probably all over the imperial court, if it is handed over to the civil officials of the Criminal Department, it will definitely give the Zhang family a trust, then he will play a fart next.

"Your Majesty......"

Ma Minglu still wants to work hard.

"Your Majesty, the prince of Ningnan is here."

Wang Chengen said beside Chongzhen.

Chongzhen motioned for Ma Minglu to shut up, and the latter helplessly stopped struggling, and then withdrew from the hall with Xie Xuelong.

This is actually the Wuying Palace, although Shi Kefa has repaired the palace, but there is no money and no time, just some repairs have been carried out in good condition, and the palace in Nanjing has been quite dilapidated by the end of the Ming Dynasty, after all, it has not lived many people for two hundred years, that is, some eunuchs have carried out some daily maintenance here, and they have suffered a fire caused by thunder and lightning before, and finally there is a Wuying Hall suitable for Chongzhen's office, and the other halls have even suspended maintenance because of lack of money, and there are not many people around Chongzhen, He doesn't really care about that right now.

"Your Majesty, the minister has retired!"

Yang Qing retired after Xie Xuelong and others left.

"Go back faster, I'm too annoyed if it drags on for a long time!"

Chongzhen sighed and said.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, even Shichen will let him speak."

Yang Qing said.

The few who were arrested by the Zhang family must speak, how can they implicate all the Jin merchants if they don't open their mouths? The Zhang family was not the number one Jin merchant at this time, and the Jin merchants in Yangzhou, such as Yan, Fan, and Li, were not inferior to the Zhang family, but one of its later representatives, the Kang family, had not yet developed at this time, and it did not rain for three years. As for the strength of the eight imperial merchants in Yangzhou, their main business is in the north, and the salt merchant Fan family in Yangzhou is not Fan Yongdou's family, Fan Yongdou is Changlu salt, and Huaiyan Fan's family is an old salt merchant Puzhou Fan Shikui. But both the north and the south of the Jin Dynasty are a network, this network from finance to daily necessities to grain, salt to steel, etc., for example, the grain of the Zhang family is transported to Gaizhou and taken over by Fan Yongdou's people, who have an outstanding reputation in our Qing Dynasty.

That's what business is.

There are no isolated merchants, in fact, even the Hui merchants are not clean, but the latter can't squeeze into the northern market, but the Jin merchants have to cooperate with them in purchasing grain in the south of the Yangtze River, otherwise Jiang Guomao knows them so well?

Chongzhen's target was all the Jin merchants in the south.

Or their silver.

One family will get millions, and it is no exaggeration to kill them all!

"You do things, I don't worry!"

Chongzhen nodded and said.

Yang Qing immediately withdrew from the Wuying Palace, but as soon as he walked out a short distance, he saw a young military attache and a slightly older civil official, led by a little eunuch, walking over......

"This is the son of Ning Nanbo?"

Yang Qing said with a bright smile.

The military attache was stunned for a moment, and the little eunuch next to him hurriedly reminded him, and he quickly put on the same smile and stepped forward to salute: "Junior Zuo Mengeng has seen Uncle Zhongyong!" ”

Zuo Mengeng came to meet on behalf of his father, as for his father said that Zhang Xianzhong was not at peace, so he didn't dare to stay away from the battlefield, of course, he was mainly frightened by Yang Qing's killing of Liu Zeqing, Zuo Liangyu didn't want to be the next Liu Zeqing, in fact, because of this matter, several other military leaders were also extra careful. It's not just Zuo Liangyu who sent his son to meet him, Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo didn't come by themselves, only Huang Degong came to see Chongzhen by himself very happily, after all, these bastards have shit under their butts, and they are afraid that Chongzhen will deal with them like Liu Zeqing, it is obvious that Yang Qing, the thug, is still very deterrent.

"Nephew Xian is polite!"

Yang Qing said while supporting him.

Zuo Mengeng frowned, he claimed that the junior was just polite, in fact, the two were about the same age, but Yang Qing was the same earl as his father, so he was polite, but he didn't expect Yang Qing to recognize him simply, so he regarded himself as his elder.

But he didn't say much.

"Who is this?"

Yang Qing looked at the civil official beside him and said.

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate patrols Huguang to supervise the imperial history, and Huang Shu has seen Uncle Zhongyong."

The latter saluted with a smile on his face.

"Huang, ah, I remember!"

Yang Qing said as if he suddenly realized.

Huang Shu's face changed slightly, and he thought he had seen it when he was in Gaoyou!

But then he was back to normal.

He didn't know that Yang Qing actually remembered his glorious deeds in the original history, and the image left by this petty official in the history of the Hongguang Dynasty was too impressive. As the mouthpiece of the Donglin Party, Ma Shiying scolded him righteously, and then he was accused of corruption by the clan, and then fled to Zuo Liangyu's men as quickly as possible, instigating Zuo Mengeng to kill the Jinyi guards who were chasing him, and finally made the hesitant Zuo Liangyu make up his mind on the side of the Qing monarch, and as soon as Zuo Liangyu died, he did not hesitate to encourage Zuo Mengeng to surrender to the Qing, giving Hongguang Chao the most fatal blow. After the fall of Nanjing, his brother, the last martial champion of the Ming Dynasty, organized a rebel army to resist the Qing in his hometown, and he went back with a wig to claim to support his brother, and then the Qing army arrived and unceremoniously gave his brother a knife in the back......

The performance is breathtaking.

He can almost be called a model for our two minions in the Qing Dynasty with Sun Zhiqi in the south and the north.
