Chapter 806: The Death of King Mi (II)
What he said about the dead and the dead cannot be simply understood as intimidation or threat, after all, the Xie family has deep connections, and Xie Zun himself has many friends in Jiangnan. In the face of this righteousness, no one dares to stand up and speak, but it does not mean that they do not sympathize with him from the heart. As long as there are people in the Xie family, there is always hope for revenge, and some people have affection. One day, when they find an opportunity, they may still stand up and help the descendants of the Xie family to take revenge and revenge on other occasions.
Ordinary people don't want to offend this kind of famous family, and it is also because of this, it is difficult for you to really beat him to death at once, but if you make this kind of big feud, you don't know when you will be retaliated by this family in the future. If it's for personal vendettas, maybe you can do whatever it takes, for the sake of business, who would commit it?
The Xie family's family members who are traveling outside the eunuch have not been liquidated this time, and it is likely that in the end, they will only target Xie Zun's house, and they will not hurt the other rooms, and it is no wonder that Xie Zun is so determined. He didn't hesitate to marry the royal family, not only to get an imperial businessman's identity, but also to rely on the relationship between the royal family, so that people didn't dare to find out about him.
The kind of horseman who splatters blood for five steps in a fit of anger is not difficult to find in the family, and as long as the Xie family clan sends a word, it can still mobilize some people who dare to work hard. In the face of the general trend of government raids, there is no point in the appearance of this kind of puppet, and in the days to come, there will always be a time when people are alone. No one can be sure when someone will jump out and burn jade.
When ordinary people encounter this situation, most of them choose to be a person and leave a line, so that they can meet in the future. Raise your noble hand, at least don't make such a deep enmity with the Xie family in your private capacity. Yang Chengzu smiled coldly, "Xie Yuanwai, I disappointed you, long live has sent a secret decree to allow me to deal with this matter with full authority, and I don't need to go through the three law divisions, but I can send it out on the spot." That's right, you are the royal family, because you refuse to return the marriage certificate, nominally, Yongchun Chitose is still your daughter-in-law, so your status is special. If you take your whole family to Beijing, maybe someone will come out and save your family's life. If you don't suffer from your descendants, when the time comes, you will be given a death and your family can be released, so I decided to behead your entire family in Nanjing! The man is beheaded, the woman is sold, use the blood of your family, teach the southeast wealthy family a lesson, let them know that there are some things that can no longer be done, and the attitude towards the court should be reconsidered. ”
He stretched out his hand and picked up a few account books, which recorded all the land owned by the Xie family. Among them, part of the fields, which were sent by the Xie family to someone else's name, were also dug up this time. To find out these roots, in addition to the work of Jinyiwei, Yang Ji's efforts are also indispensable. Some of the Yang Ji workers had come from the Xie family and were familiar with the inside story, plus they went to the people to collect grain and deal with the landlords, but they knew more about these things than the Yamen might know.
"It's the imperial court taxes that your family evades every year, which is enough to cut your head ten times, plus the transactions made with the Japanese and Mongolia, and your Xie family has this earth-shattering wealth. You don't just do similar things, there are too many wealthy families in Jiangnan doing it, such as Su Song's taxes, how many years have they been owed, but the court just can't collect them. This time, borrowing the head of your Xie family can also teach them a lesson and let them understand the truth of being a man. ”
"Master Xie, I'm not talking to you now, how many can the Xie family die, I'm talking to you, how many can the Xie family live, those relationships of yours, friends, can make me die without a whole body in the future." But now, I can let your Xie family die first! Before you helped King Ning, we haven't counted this debt, just recently, you also transported five boatloads of rice to Shuangyu in exchange for a sum of money back. It's called a tongwa, and it's going to be full of death! The new account and the old account are counted together, and the decree given to me by Long Live is to kill all the men in your family. But your granddaughter is really tasteful, I look at her face, I really want to leave some living people for your family, whether you can do this step depends on you, not on me. ”
Xie Zun didn't care about his life or death, even if Jinyiwei used all kinds of punishments on him, he could beat him to death at most, and as for the matter of asking for a confession, there was still no hope. He knew that what Yang Chengzu wanted was the evidence of the crimes of other famous families in the southeast, the list of the internal officials and the northern clans who colluded with him, and even the business routes to the sea. This information is either related to the handle of other families, or it is related to the business opportunities of a million profits.
His own sins cannot be escaped, as long as he does not confess them, he will have the opportunity to rely on this favor in the future to benefit the rest of the family. As for those business roads, they are going to die, and they definitely don't want to give this information to the government cheaply.
But when Yang Chengzu brought his entire family to the table for negotiation, he found that it was really difficult for him to hold on, the key is that Yang Chengzu could throw all the chips in his hand, and if he flipped the table, he would ...... But I don't have the confidence to do so.
The relationship between the Xie family and the door cannot be counted on in a short period of time, but on the side of the government, he can kill a few clansmen in front of him every day to show himself. Since ancient times, prisons have been bottomless places, even if someone in the court speaks for themselves, but they can't prevent someone from dying of plague in prison when they are infected.
Of course, doing this kind of thing is actually not pleased. The ancients believed in the theory of Yin Gong, and such a thing as destroying people and the whole clan would generally be considered to be a disaster to future generations. For the sake of court affairs, most people will not do this, not to mention that the reputation will be completely played in this way, and it will be difficult to get a good reputation among the scholars in the future, Xie Zun is according to the idea of dealing with ordinary Ming bureaucrats, so it is no wonder that he can't figure out Yang Chengzu's actions.
After being silent for a while, Xie Zun let out a long breath, and his voice became a little hoarse, "Yang Chengzu, are you sure you want to listen to that?" These things are in my head, and if I die, everyone will be scattered. If I write it, do you know what the consequences are? King Ning's account book is still in your hands, right? If you add these things this time, do you know how many famous families in the southeast will want to get rid of you quickly! For the sake of the court, do you want to take your own net worth? I dare to write those things, do you dare to read them! ”
"Dare to look at it or not, you have to try it to know, Wang Qianhu, prepare the four treasures of the study for Master Xie, please write it slowly. What we have is time, by the way, tell the kitchen, and cook something delicious for Master Xie during this time. ”
When he walked outside the interrogation room, Wang Bangqi followed from behind, his expression a little embarrassed, "Ti Shuai, here...... The stakes are so high here, and the villain is afraid that he can't afford such a big responsibility. Can you keep a few of your right-hand men to be a witness? ”
"Witness? What to witness? There is no suspicion in employing people, no need for suspicious people, Wang Qianhu, this official has believed you. If it weren't for trust, I would have taken you to Nanzhen Fusi for questioning according to the questions reported by those people. So just let it go, I'll give you a bright future, and I'm sure you won't let me down. ”
He patted Wang Bangqi on the shoulder, as if he was in his heart, and waited until the other party turned around and went back, and he showed a sneer. Although the Xie family has reached this point, they still have some wealth at their disposal, and these riches are enough to make some people go crazy.
Whether Wang Bangqi will be a dragon or a worm in the future depends on what path he chooses, but no matter what, he has left enough reliable eyes and ears by his side, and Xie Zun will not be able to escape this time no matter what.
