Chapter 914: Xia Family

Just when Zhang Zhijie led his subordinates into the border of Fujian, the Xia family finally received the news that Xia Xuan was put in prison by Zhang Zhijie, this news was so sudden, and the shock caused by the Xia family can be imagined.

To tell the truth, the Xia family has been too comfortable over the years, because they have always operated very steadily in the civil service system, and no one has noticed them, so that they can make a fortune at sea.

In recent years, Zhang Zhijie has become famous, and the Xia family naturally knows it, but Zhang Zhijie has always been in the circle of the capital, and he only arrived in Nanjing when he went to Jiangnan twice. There is really no junction in the circle, so the Xia family doesn't pay much attention to Zhang Zhijie.

It wasn't until there was a thunder on the flat bottom that Zhang Zhijie suddenly set his sights on the sea and seized the Longjiang Shipyard, which really made the Xia family start to face Zhang Zhijie. So the coastal wealthy families led by the Xia family gathered together, and two different opinions appeared.

Most of the families were afraid of Zhang Zhijie's reputation and wanted to suspend maritime trade, and wait and see before making a decision. The other is led by the Xia family, who thinks that they will first smash the silver to stabilize Zhang Zhijie, and then find a way to solve Zhang Zhijie's disaster.

So there was Xia Xuan's sincerity with 300,000 taels of silver and went north to Nanjing to see Zhang Zhijie. Then the Xia family put this matter aside, because they believed in a word, money can make ghosts grind! With so much silver smashed up, how could Zhang Zhijie not be tempted?

So they were full of confidence in Xia Xuan's trip to Nanjing, but they didn't expect to receive such news. Before Xia Xuan arrived in Nanjing, he was arrested and put in prison by Zhang Zhijie because of the killing of Guo San.

When the people of the Xia family learned the news, they were immediately solemn, which showed a problem, Zhang Zhijie was not interested in the Xia family's large sum of silver, or wanted more silver!

No matter which one it was, it made the people of the Xia family extremely angry. What's even more worrying is whether Zhang Zhijie will interrogate Xia Xuan and torture Xia Xuan, if Zhang Zhijie tortures Xia Xuan, then Xia Xuan may not be able to hold on.

If Zhang Zhijie held the evidence of the Xia family in his hand, it would not be good! The people of the Xia family began to discuss the solution, and finally decided to divide the troops into two routes, all the way to Hangzhou with a lot of money, and negotiated conditions with Zhang Zhijie.

On the other hand, just in case, he went straight to the capital with a lot of money, and if Zhang Zhijie really didn't let go, he would start to have some relationship.

The people of the Xia family did not expect that Zhang Zhijie would go straight to Fujian with the cavalry, they thought that even if Zhang Zhijie tried any evidence, he would be sent to the capital as soon as possible and dealt with by the imperial court. That's why the Xia family thought about going straight to the capital to make some connections.

They never thought that Zhang Zhijie did not ask the emperor and the court at all, so he directly took his men to Quanzhou to raid his house. Because the Xia family is a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are even more like emperors in Fujian, they have their own proud psychology! They are a dignified family, who would dare to touch them directly?

Just when they finally discussed it and were about to go north with a heavy golden baby, they also received news one after another, including the news that Zhang Zhijie had appeared in Fujian with his troops.

After the Xia family learned the news, they were really shocked! Shouldn't Zhang Zhijie be in Hangzhou? Why did you suddenly bring troops to Fujian?

There is only one possibility, and that is to come to their Xia family! In other words, Xia Xuan has already confessed, and Zhang Zhijie didn't ask the capital at all and directly brought people to Fujian!

The people of the Xia family couldn't help but scold, what a Zhang Zhijie, what a good dog! How dare you despise their Xia family so much! It's really their Xia family is a soft persimmon!

Fujian is the base camp of their Xia family, and it is the place where their Xia family has been operating for decades! When you come to Fujian, no matter who you are, no matter how majestic you are, you have to coil me if you are a dragon!

Listening to the noisy appearance in the lobby, the old lady of the Xia family opened her eyes that had been squinting, knocked on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Now that the time has come for the Xia family to live and die, it's time to prepare!" ”

"Please give me orders!" The Xia family masters in the lobby said in unison.

"Prepare silver in one hand, knives and spears in the other! If you take the money, you will be friends, and you can sit down and talk about anything! If you don't want silver," the old lady's face sank, and she said coldly: "Fujian has always been a bandit, and this bandit doesn't recognize you as a bad guy!" ”

"Taigong, how much silver is appropriate?"

The old man slowly stretched out two fingers and said in a deep voice: "Two million taels!" "As soon as the old man made a move, he was two million taels of silver, which is indeed amazing!

Two million taels of silver plus the 300,000 taels of silver brought out by Xia Xuan are almost the top of the Ming Dynasty's tax silver for a year! This is definitely a huge amount of money, and even the Xia family masters in the lobby were shocked!

What they thought in their hearts was only one million taels of silver, but they didn't expect that the old man would be two million taels of silver as soon as he opened his mouth, and many people felt reluctant to hear it.

"Taigong, isn't two million taels of silver too much! Even if Zhang Zhijie is fed, Jingli still needs to be counted, plus the 300,000 taels of silver brought out by Xia Xuan, our family will see the bottom! ”

"Is it much? Not much! Two million taels of silver is not much! Even if the family bottoms out, isn't there still a grange shop? I'm not hungry for you! As long as our Xia family is still there, as long as the sea is still there, the silver will continue to pour in! The old lady said in a deep voice.

The people below stopped talking, some were thoughtful, and some were unconvinced. Old Lady Xia slowly looked around at everyone and said sharply: "Do what I say, do you hear?!" ”

After all, the old man is still in charge of the family, and these people, whether they are convinced or not, they all respond in a deep voice and go down to prepare.

Zhang Zhijie traveled all the way with thousands of horses, and did not carry grain and grass baggage, all of which needed to be provided by the local government along the way, plus he had to recover his horsepower after trekking for so long, and he was not very fast along the way.

So after arriving in Fujian, Zhang Zhijie's whereabouts couldn't be hidden at all, and Zhang Zhijie didn't plan to hide. Originally, Zhang Zhijie did not plan to go to Fuzhou, but ignored the officials in Fujian and went straight to the Xia family in Quanzhou.

But after the governor of Fujian learned the news, he couldn't sit still for a long time, and Zhang Zhijie suddenly came to Fujian with a large team of people! Soon, the governor of Fujian received the news from the Xia family.

At that time, the governor of Fujian was stunned, Xia Xuan was arrested by Jinyiwei, and now Zhang Zhijie came with a large team of people, this is probably coming for the Xia family!

He and many officials in Fujian can be grasshoppers with the Xia family, Zhang Zhijie is not good, and he must be careful to deal with it!
