Seeing the Xia family kneeling on the ground, whether it was the younger generation or the older generation, all changed color, Zhang Zhijie smiled: "So, you should obediently follow the governor into Beijing!" ”

The faces of all the people in the Xia family became ugly, and Xia Bing said in a deep voice: "My lord, I want to say a few words to the adults alone, is it okay?" ”

Zhang Zhijie looked at Xia Bingzhong and was silent for a while, then nodded: "Yes!" ”

Xia Bingzhong stood up, stretched out his hand and said, "My lord, please!" Zhang Zhijie stepped forward, Yiye and Ziyi followed closely behind, Bai Yulan thought about it and followed!

Turning through a small door, dozens of boxes were impressively lined up, if it weren't for the fact that these boxes were smaller, they really looked like a pair of coffins. Zhang Zhijie couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly when he saw this, he really didn't have any creativity! But also, no matter how good the idea is, it is not as impactful as this one.

Zhang Zhijie looked at these boxes with interest, Xia Bingzhong did not kneel, but stood beside Zhang Zhijie and sighed: "Ming people don't say dark words, the reason why Lord Qincha set his sights on the Xia family is because the Xia family went to sea and violated the laws of the imperial court to go to sea. ”

"It is said that relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft the water, Quanzhou is close to the sea, has an excellent port, and it has been eating this bowl of rice on the sea since ancient times! Emperor Taizu set the law that no piece of board should go to sea, but for more than 100 years, going to sea without permission has never been broken! ”

"The Xia family also ate this bowl of rice, but, no matter what, this is against the laws of the imperial court! Our Xia family also admits it, and now that the Lord wants to build a ship and go to sea, we naturally don't dare to compete with Lord Qincha! ”

"Now the Xia family just wants to be an ordinary family, this is two million taels of silver, and there are some playthings from the sea!"

"The Xia family's savings in going to sea over the years are all here, and now I dedicate these to Lord Qincha, just as if the Xia family has been going to sea for adults all these years!"

After that, Xia Bingzhong walked over, and opened boxes one by one, boxes of gold, silver and silver tickets, as well as pearls, corals, various gems, and some rare and precious objects.

Ziyi and Yiye were about to go crazy when they saw this huge amount of wealth, what happened to this world, when did silver become so worthless, like a stone on the ground. There are hundreds of thousands of taels, one or two million taels at every turn, which is simply taking silver and not silver!

Zhang Zhijie was not so surprised, after all, the Xia family is a wealthy family that goes to sea, and it is really not too much to take out two million taels! Of course, the Xia family must have spent a lot of money on gold fans over the years, plus they have to do it everywhere. Two million taels is not too much, but not too little.

After opening all the boxes, Xia Bingzhong came to the front and said in a deep voice: "Lord Qincha, all the wealth of the Xia family is here, please let the Xia family live a way, the Xia family is only an ordinary family in Quanzhou!" ”

Zhang Zhijie looked at Xia Bingzhong's face silently, and Xia Bingzhong's face was calm. The Xia family has deep connections among civil officials, and it has a high reputation in Fujian, and there are thousands of people gathered outside the Xia family's manor!

Now that the Xia family is pleading, giving all their family wealth, and being willing to be an ordinary family and no longer involved in maritime affairs, no matter how you look at it, this is a very acceptable result.

But Zhang Zhijie is well versed in the truth that if you don't die, you will suffer from it, Zhang Zhijie smiled and said: "It turns out that you have sorted out all the wealth of the Xia family, which saves the governor from copying the house!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Xia Bingzhong suddenly changed color, and he had always had great hopes for this road in his heart! Mobilize the people to embarrass Zhang Zhijie, and then play the bitter card, and promise not to go to sea again in the future, just to be an ordinary family!

Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhijie refused! He was not moved by the two million taels of silver at all, and he was not soft-hearted about the Xia family's weakness and bitterness! Zhang Zhijie is so ruthless and decisive at such a young age!

Xia Bingzhong took two steps back, and said with a pale face: "Lord Qincha, since ancient times, we have relied on the sea to eat the sea, although our Xia family has violated the ban of the imperial court, is it so heinous in the eyes of adults?" ”

Zhang Zhijie shook his head when he heard this and said: "It's nothing to go to sea, although there is a ban from the imperial court, but to be honest, the governor is not averse to going to sea, and he doesn't think it's a heinous crime!" Otherwise, the Governor would not have advised the Emperor to form a fleet to go to sea! ”

Xia Bingzhong was taken aback by Zhang Zhijie's words, he didn't expect Zhang Zhijie to have such an attitude towards going to sea, and he said it so calmly and so straightforwardly!

On the contrary, this made Xia Bingzhong really a little puzzled, since Zhang Zhijie had such an attitude towards going to sea, why did he turn a blind eye to the Xia family's sincerity.

Xia Bingzhong was puzzled: "Since Lord Qincha doesn't think that going to sea is a heinous thing, then why did the Xia family pay so much sincerity, and Lord Qincha still killed the Xia family?" ”

Zhang Zhijie said in a deep voice: "It's not because the Xia family went to sea, the Xia family went to sea is indeed not a heinous thing!" To be honest, when Ben Du went down to Jiangnan, he was just thinking about knocking the Xia family! But in the end, the governor found out that the Xia family had committed a lot of crimes, disregarding people's lives, and fornicating with bandits! In order to get rid of the dissidents, the Xia family colluded with bandits to break through the city, although the dissidents of the Xia family were eliminated, did the Xia family think about the people who suffered! The crimes of those bandits are all counted as a part of the Xia family! ”

Xia Bingzhong shook his head in disbelief when he heard this: "Lord Qincha must cut down the grass and eradicate the Xia family, but it is just for some untouchables?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Yiye and Ziyi couldn't help but be furious, if they said this, the two of them were just pariahs in Xia Bingzhong's eyes! It's a shame that the two of them just had such a loss of sympathy for the Xia family! Sympathize with the ghost! You Xia family all go to die!

Zhang Zhijie couldn't help but laugh sarcastically when he heard this: "They are all pariahs in your eyes? According to what you say, then in the eyes of the Governor, your Xia family should also be a pariah? It's just a few pariahs! Your Xia family is dead! ”

Xia Bingzhong's face sank when he heard this, and a trace of anger and humiliation arose in his heart, their Xia family is a wealthy family in Fujian, how can they be pariahs? This Zhijie inevitably looks down on the Xia family too much!

After a long while, Xia Bingzhong cleaned up his mood and said in a deep voice: "Lord Qincha, is there really no room for turnaround?" Although the Xia family has done some wrong things, it is not fake that the Xia family has done good deeds over the years, and the Xia family has also done countless good deeds! Can't good and evil be counteracted? ”

Zhang Zhijie shook his head slowly, and said in a deep voice: "It's better to follow this governor to Beijing for trial!" In the end, what is the situation of your Xia family, the emperor has his own decision! "If the officials of Fujian escort the Xia family into Beijing, the Xia family can still hold on to hope, but if Zhang Zhijie escorts them into Beijing, it will be a dead end!
