Chapter 56: Anger and Poisoning
"Back to the emperor, this is exactly the cunning of that Du Lao Liu. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "Luo Yang Sex Returns.
"Oh? How to say this, let me tell you in detail. Xiao Mu listened to Luo Yangxing's words, and the curiosity in his heart was completely hooked, and he temporarily forgot to worry about the failure of the golden finger, and kept urging Luo Yangxing to hurry up.
"Back to the emperor, according to Liang Yanyang's confession, only a small part of the black money he earned from doing those things that God harmed on weekdays belonged to him......" Luo Yangxing felt that the heat was already very good, and if he continued to sell Guanzi and make the emperor feel unhappy, I was afraid that he would be unhappy, so he told Xiao Mu in detail about the interrogation records sent back by Luo Zhenxing and Zhang Chao.
Xiao Mu was stunned when he heard Luo Yangxing's explanation, it turned out that he was "out on patrol", and he ran to Daxing to catch a small gun holster-like figure behind such a terrible organization, if it weren't for Luo Yangxing, they couldn't lie to themselves, and Xiao Mu would not have believed that there would be such a coincidence.
"So, according to Liang Yanyang, that Du Lao Liu was actually sent to spy on him?" Xiao Mu asked in conclusion.
"Exactly, and since Du Laoliu joined, Liang Yanyang's 'business' has begun to expand rapidly, reaching its current scale." Luo Yangxing replied.
"It seems that this Du Lao Liu is really a character." Xiao Mu commented on Du Lao Liu in his heart. Of course, Xiao Mu was sure in his heart that what he did was all things that hurt nature and reason and exterminated human nature, and he was the object of severe punishment, but Xiao Mu still couldn't help but think, "Such a person should be easier to make a difference in the troubled times after more than ten years, right?" ”
Xiao Mu secretly pinched himself, and after putting aside all the messy thoughts, he thought of an important question again, so he said:
"If what Liang Yanyang said about the twenty-eighty points is true, it means that the people behind Du Laoliu have earned a full 200,000 taels of silver on Liang Yanyang alone? Yes and no? ”
"Back to the emperor, I'm afraid that's the case." Luo Yangxing replied.
"I am an ordinary farmer in Daming, and I live an ordinary life, how much silver can I spend a year?" Xiao Mu asked.
"Back to the emperor, if it is in an ordinary year, a family in a village dresses and eats, and at the end of the year, five or six taels of silver is enough." Wang Chengen hurriedly replied.
Wang Chengen's answer shocked Xiao Mu even more, Xiao Mu originally thought that ordinary people would need dozens of taels a year to live, but he didn't expect that what he originally thought was actually enough for more than a dozen families to live in. Thinking that the people behind Du Lao Liu had made so much ill-gotten gains, this huge gap made Xiao Mu's blood surge, and it was difficult to restrain his emotions.
"Now that the year is not good, according to the cost of ten taels of silver a year for a family, how many families can eat and dress with 200,000 taels of silver?" While Xiao Mu said, he was also silently calculating in his heart - this is money that 20,000 households may not be able to spend in a year.
Luo Yanghe and Wang Chengen also heard Xiao Mu's anger, and lowered their heads and did not dare to answer.
Xiao Mu then said: "I don't think that's all! Liang Yanyang brought them so much income, but how did Du Lao Liu treat him? It's just that he abandoned him like a shoe, and betrayed him easily! It can be seen that the 200,000 taels of silver have not been taken into his eyes at all, so what about the people behind the scenes? It's definitely just a drop in the ocean! ”
In the end, Xiao Mu added: "In my opinion, I'm afraid those people have more money than me!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Luo Yanghe and Wang Chengen immediately knelt down and claimed guilty. The weight of the emperor's words is so much that Luo Yangxing feels that he must not be able to carry it alone: I think that my son will be rich all over the world, and they all say that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, but now the emperor has found that there seems to be someone who is richer than him (although there are many people who are richer than the emperor at this time in the late Ming Dynasty, but at least on the surface, the emperor is the richest), how is this like words?
Luo Yangxing then pleaded guilty again and again, claimed to be negligent, and swore that Du Lao Liu would be severely interrogated, and then followed the vine to find out all the people behind him, and confiscated their huge ill-gotten gains. While Luo Yangxing made a clear statement, he was still muttering in his heart that he should really come with those old ministers, so that he could share some of the emperor's anger together, and now he is alone, and he is afraid that he will be burned by this fire if he is not good.
Fortunately, Wang Chengen also said good things for Luo Yangxing at this time. Wang Chengen said that the reason why there was such a thing was completely because Wei Wei covered the sky with one hand, thinking that when Wei Wei and his henchmen were in power, they only knew how to loot people's wealth and kill Zhongliang, completely ignoring the life and death of the people and the country, so there were so many wolf-hearted and dog-hearted people. Luo Yangxing was persecuted by Wei Wei before, and he was only recently rehabilitated, so he naturally had a weak heart and should not be criticized too harshly.
Wang Chengen's words successfully transferred all the contradictions to Wei Zhongxian, this dead man, and no one could find fault, after all, Wei Zhongxian did a lot of bad things when he was in power. In this way, everyone present is a righteous person, and naturally they can discuss the topic of justice such as how to punish evil and promote good.
After listening to Wang Chengen's words, Xiao Mu also realized that his words made Luo Yangxing nervous, and it seemed that his casual anger would bring a lot of pressure to the courtiers below. So Xiao Mu tried to restrain his emotions, signaled Luo Yanghe and Wang Chengen to kneel, and comforted: "I am angry with those giants, and I am not angry with you. ”
"Wechen can't share the emperor's worries, I'm really ashamed." Seeing that most of the emperor's anger had disappeared, Luo Yangxing hurriedly said a word of modesty, and at the same time stood up very moved. In this way, it became even more magnanimous to the emperor, and the entire hall was suddenly filled with an atmosphere of getting along with the monarch and the minister.
It's just that such a good atmosphere didn't last long, and it was Yang Tao who came to see Yang Tao who broke the harmonious atmosphere.
It must be that Yang Tao went to Xie's Hutong to check Liang Yanyang's family property and came back to see Luo Yangxing, and after finding that Luo Yangxing had entered the palace to face the saint, he came directly to the palace to ask for a meeting, which shows that the matter should be very urgent, so Xiao Mu hurriedly let him in.
"Humble Yang Tao, knock to see the emperor......" As soon as Yang Tao entered the hall, he bowed down.
At this time, Xiao Mu naturally didn't have the patience to accept these red tape, and after waving his hand to signal Yang Tao to hurry up, he hurriedly asked: "You are going to raid the house, hurry up and give me a quick future!" ”
"Back to the emperor, the humble and incompetent...... Yang Tao's first sentence poured a basin of cold water on Xiao Mu and Luo Yangxing's heads.
"What happened?" When Xiao Mu heard this, he already knew in his heart that nothing good would happen, but he still urged Yang Tao and asked him to hurry up and continue.
"Back to the emperor, Beizhi was ordered to take people to Xiejia Hutong to confiscate Liang Yanyang's family property, but when Beizhi arrived at Xiejia Hutong, he found that almost all of Liang Yanyang's family members were dead...... Yang Tao continued.
"How did you die?" Luo Yangxing was also a little unable to sit still, and asked.
"Lord Hui, Liang Yanyang's family has a total of fifteen people in Beijing, of which thirteen were all poisoned to death, only one child survived, it was Liang Yanyang's son, and one other domestic servant was missing."
"Your Majesty, Weichen can conclude that this must be the work of the missing domestic servant!" Luo Yangxing listened to Yang Tao's report and immediately came to this conclusion.
"Well, that makes sense." Xiao Mu felt that Luo's analysis was good-of obvious things, of course, there would be no mistakes, "This servant seems to be in the same group ......as Du Lao Liu."
"The emperor Shengming, I asked the neighbors about it, and this missing domestic servant is called Feng Laosi, who is silent and very inconspicuous on weekdays." Yang Tao said.
"Hmm... Du Lao Liu, Liu Lao Ba, and now there is another Feng Lao Si, yes, they must all be in the same group! Hearing the name of that Feng Laosi, Xiao Mu felt that even a fool could find a pattern, so he said affirmatively.
"Your Majesty." Several people hurriedly seized the opportunity and patted Xiao Mu's ass just right.
Xiao Mu ignored the flattery of a few people, but said with emotion: "It seems that it is really true that the more inconspicuous the character, the more dangerous it is, as the saying goes, 'A dog that barks does not bite, and a dog that bites does not bark', it seems that it does make sense." ”
"Your Majesty." Although several people were talking about when the emperor had learned this kind of "vulgar language", they showed no suspicion at all, and praised them in unison.
"How did Liang Yanyang's son survive?" Xiao Mu thought of a key question again and asked Yang Tao.
"Back to the emperor, according to the humble position, it was found that all the food in their family was poisoned. I heard from the neighbors that the child was Liang Yanyang's only son, who was pampered and very picky eater......"
"That kid didn't eat well on weekdays because he was a picky eater, so he was lucky enough to leave a life?" As soon as Xiao Mu heard this, he understood what Yang Tao meant, and continued for him.
"The emperor is sage, and he thinks so about his humble position." Yang Tao replied.
"Where's that kid now?" Xiao Mu continued to ask.
"Back to the emperor, although the child was lucky not to die, but after all, he was poisoned, and he was already unconscious when he found him, so he sent someone to send him to a nearby hospital for treatment and sent someone to guard it."
"Well, well done." Xiao Mu listened to Yang Tao's report and thought that his handling was very appropriate, so he praised it.
The matter of Liang Yanyang's son came to an end, and then Xiao Mu thought of a more important question: "Where is Liang Yanyang's family wealth now?" ”
