Chapter 157: Sealing the Li Mansion
Yang Xiaoyu nodded with a smile, and immediately ordered Chen Yingren to personally guard Li Ming, not to let his minions rescue Li Ming, and not to let the people of the Thousand Households Institute approach Li Ming.
Then, Yang Xiaoyu summoned the scribes, asked them about trivial matters, and asked them to take the official documents of the Qianhu Office in the past few days.
Yangzhou Qianhu focuses on collecting intelligence, supervising hundreds of officials, and only reporting to the Zhenfu Division when encountering major events.
The hidden piles and spies in the city will keep sending out the news of the hundred officials, and the adults of the thousand households will classify these news, and the important news will be painted with the red letter No. 1, the news that is not light or heavy will be drawn with the red letter No. 2, and some trivial things will be drawn with the red letter No. 3.
After the Senhu adults finished classifying the news, the scribes made a book of the messages according to the classification.
Since the death of Lord Ren, all the official documents of the Thousand Households Office have been handled by Li Ming, and Yang Xiaoyu has been busy with other things in the past two days in office, and he has not come to deal with official business!
At this time, he was holding a piece of official documents, crying and laughing, most of them were news sent by hundreds of households, and there were also news sent by thousands of secret agents.
Most of these news are some things that catch the wind and catch shadows, and there is even an official document that records that a Yangzhou Liupin civil official returned to his home to make a big fuss, and a salt merchant was drunk in a spring building all night.
Only one official document is still normal, this is the news sent by hundreds of households outside the city, saying that some time ago, six merchant ships sailed to the north through Jianghuai, according to the investigation of his secret agents, these ships finally docked in the waters of Shandong.
Yang Xiaoyu thought about it and drew a No. 2 red character at the bottom of this official document!
The other official documents are painted with No. 3 red letters!
After finishing the business, it is already the time of sunset.
Yang Xiaoyu had lunch. Let Cao Tai, who had just returned, guard the Thousand Households, while he took the guards and a ten-man small flag team to Li Ming's mansion.
Li Mingzu was a farmer, and his father was lucky. Catching up with the Jinyi Guard, he expanded his soldiers and horses, starting from a wrestler, and has repeatedly made meritorious contributions and risen to hundreds of households.
Li Ming was stained with his father's light, inherited his father's official position at the age of twenty, and later made some meager contributions, and was promoted by Jinyi Wei to be the deputy of Yangzhou Thousand Households.
Although the Li family became the home of the eunuchs. There are hundreds of handmaidens and dozens of servants, but the root nature of the peasants has not been expelled.
Li Ming's mansion is magnificent. The pavilions and pavilions are endless, and there are no flowers and plants in the house, but some vegetables are grown.
Yang Xiaoyu walked into the Li family's mansion!
followed by Cheng Yun and Zhou Tong.
"My lord, all three hundred and sixteen members of the Li family have been detained. What are you going to do with them? Zhou Tongnian and some of Li Ming's past kindness. I couldn't bear to do anything to some women, children, and children, so I asked cautiously.
Yang Xiaoyu looked ahead, walked away, and Lang asked with a smile, "What should we do with them according to the law?" “
"Lord Li's murder is not true for the time being, it needs to be judged by the Pacification Division, and his family members are not the prisoner's family for the time being, according to the humble opinion of his subordinates, they should be moved to live elsewhere!" Zhou Tong said boldly.
"According to your will. Where is it safe to move them? Yang Xiaoyu asked as he walked.
"Donkey City Hutong!" Zhou Tong replied cautiously.
Yang Xiaoyu stopped, turned to look at Zhou Tong and said solemnly: "If you have the ability to watch the people of the Li family." You can do what you want! ”
"The subordinates promise that they will not escape!" Zhou Tongxian assured.
"If you run away from someone, you will be killed." Yang Xiaoyu sneered.
"This!" Zhou Tong's lips squirmed a few times, but he didn't dare to agree.
Yang Xiaoyu smiled coldly, turned around and continued to walk forward!
Cheng Yun in the back began to introduce Li Ming's relatives to Yang Xiaoyu.
LI Minghao. There are more than a dozen concubines, and there are three sons and four daughters!
There are hundreds of maidservants in the mansion, more than 100 guards in the courtyard, and one housekeeper.
There were also some chaotic people, adding up to more than 300 people.
Looking at the world, there are countless mansions with more than 300 people, especially in Yangzhou, where wealthy businessmen gather.
When he came to the hall, Yang Xiaoyu saw a large box on both sides of the hall, surrounded by guards with knives and horses.
"My lord, this is a silver tael found in Lord Li's house, a total of more than 5,000 taels of gold, more than 30,000 taels of silver, two boxes of various jade jewelry, 350,000 taels of silver tickets, and some famous paintings!" Cheng Yun pointed to the boxes around him and said.
Yang Xiaoyu sneered, as far as he knew, Li Ming was not good at poetry, how could he collect famous paintings?
All of the famous paintings are the treasures of the literati's life, and it is ridiculous that Li Ming is a big man and a coarse man, and he can actually be vassally elegant.
"Is there a register?" Yang Xiaoyu waved his hand to let the surrounding Tiqi open the box, looked at the golden gold and jewelry and jade in the box, and asked with a smile.
"If you go back to your lordship, you haven't made a book yet!" Cheng Yun replied.
Yang Xiaoyu touched a piece of gold and held it in his hand, and said with a smile: "Three thousand four hundred taels of gold, 15,000 taels of silver, a box of jewelry and jade, two hundred thousand taels of silver tickets, and a number of celebrity calligraphy and paintings!" ”
Zhou Tong and Cheng Yun hurriedly glanced at each other when they heard this, the silver taels copied out by Jinyiwei in the past were all registered according to the number, listening to Lord Yang's meaning, it seemed that he wanted to swallow a batch of money.
"Make a register according to the amount that the official just said, and the remaining silver will be divided equally among the ten hundred households, and the matter will be handed over to Cheng Baihu!" Yang Xiaoyu threw the gold in his hand into the box and said with a smile.
"My lord, if the guard sends someone to investigate!" Cheng Yun heard that Yang Xiaoyu actually wanted to give the rest of the silver to the official school of Qianhu, but he himself didn't take a penny, so he couldn't help but feel a sense of respect, so he persuaded him politely.
"It's okay, the guard won't send someone to check for a little silver, you are busy with this matter here first, Zhou Baihu will follow this official to meet the Li family!" Yang Xiaoyu turned around and said with a nonchalant expression.
Cheng Yun replied, since Yang Xiaoyu didn't care about his kind words and persuasion, there was no need for him to persuade again.
The maidservants and subordinates of the Li Mansion were locked up in the east courtyard, and the young master and young lady of the first cadre were locked in the small courtyard on the west side.
The young master and lady of the Li Mansion squatted in the courtyard, and the sound of crying and crying could be heard from a hundred steps away.
Yang Xiaoyu has no pity in his heart, these people can't cry now, but before Li Ming gained power, they didn't know how arrogant they were!
Now I know the pain of being bullied, but unfortunately, it's too late.
Yang Xiaoyu walked into the courtyard, and a small flag with a slight eye hurriedly moved a chair for Yang Xiaoyu.
Yang Xiaoyu was not polite, Dama Jindao sat up, and then his eyes swept over the Li family members squatting in the courtyard.
Most of the people squatting below are women, there are about 20 people, and there are only five or six men!
Some of these women are old and decrepit, some are in their prime, and some are pure and beautiful
All of them are the best in the world, and even Li Ming's unmarried daughters are also very good-looking.
Of the five or six men, two young men were Li Ming's sons, and the other were stewards of the Li Mansion.
Zhou Tong, who was standing behind Yang Xiaoyu, looked at a sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman in the courtyard drooling, and a smirk on his face.
This woman is delicate-looking, with a lot of manners, black hair hanging down from her shoulders, and she is obviously not a woman.
Yang Xiaoyu inadvertently saw Zhou Tong's expression, and then followed his gaze and saw a beautiful woman, and his heart suddenly became clear.
No wonder Zhou Tongken pleaded for the Li family before, it turned out that he fell in love with the beauty of the Li family!
A playful look flashed in Yang Xiaoyu's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Zhou Baihu, Deputy Li Qianhu is not shallow, there are so many beautiful ladies, do you want to reward one for you?" ”
"My lord, how dare my subordinates do such an ungrateful thing!" Zhou Tong retracted his expression and hurriedly refused.
Speaking from his heart, Li Ming is not a good person, he can't be called a wicked person, he was just carried away by power and did something he shouldn't do for a while.
But there is a price to pay for doing something wrong, which is an eternal rule.
This era is not the previous life, one person broke the law, his family is not guilty, here is the emphasis on one person committing a crime, the family members sit together, one person rebels, and the nine clans are connected.
Li Ming killed Shangguan and could not escape death, and his son Li Zheng beat the official with a white body, causing four people to be disabled, which can be described as a heinous crime and cannot escape death.
As for the rest of the Li family, looking at Yang Xiaoyu's face, if Yang Xiaoyu wants to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and leave no trouble, he can find a reason to kill Li Ming's heirs, and then send Li Ming's wife to the sect and be a slave forever.
Yang Xiaoyu smiled and looked at the Li family members in a frightened circle, the brocade clothes that they usually disdained were like devils with teeth and claws at this time, they could be eaten alive at any time, and some timid female dependents trembled, and tears kept falling.
