Chapter 558: Showdown
According to Yang Chengzu's understanding, the account book that was found from King Ning's mansion not only involved court officials, but also involved several big families in Jiangnan. They had dealings with King Ning before he raised his army, and after King Ning raised his army, these families made bets on both sides with reference to the past practice, and had some dealings with King Ning.
There are commercial trades and effective faithfulness in these exchanges, and if they are taken out, they are enough to make these great families disgraced. On that day, everyone really thought that these letters and account books had been burned, but later, someone around Zhengde leaked a news: those terrible account books and letters were all there. The Son of Heaven just didn't have a seizure all at once because he was too heavily involved, and when the time came, he would settle accounts one by one.
Zhengde was not a generous monarch, and those big families and officials in the court never expected him to show mercy and spare those who had close ties with the rebels, or even expressed allegiance. From the very beginning, they wanted to destroy the ledgers and letters through various connections, so that these past events would forever become a mystery.
The whereabouts of these things were never found at first, but later someone learned that they were probably in Jiang Bin's hands. These nobles and nobles have their hands and eyes to the sky, even in the edict that does not see the light of day, they are stretched into their hands.
Jiang Bin said: "I've come to this point, and I don't say anything like a talisman, this thing can't protect me." But I don't want to take it out, I kept this thing at the beginning, because I wanted to use it as a magic treasure one day, and beat the court to help the civil and military generals, these gentry and wealthy businessmen in the local area. The one in Xingwangfu who uses money, doesn't he need money in long live? They always use all kinds of methods to evade taxes, do not pay rent, let long live what to do? I had to use these things to force them to pay. Unexpectedly, Banzai said that he would go, this thing could not be done, but Jiang would not make this thing cheap for the current emperor. Let this ledger go away with the wind, and everyone will not worry about it. ”
He looked at Yang Chengzu, "If you think it's a loss to invite me to eat and drink, you can beat me or torture me." It's okay, I want to see what your hereditary brocade clothes are, and if you can serve me, I will hand over the account book. ”
"Where did Jiang Chitose come from, I never thought of using torture on you, and I can't commit it. As I said, I have never seen the dead, and you see that the Lord will not be able to see a few days, is it interesting to torture you? Yang Chengzu didn't seem to be angry or angry after being fooled, but waved his hand generously
"I'm not a person, I don't have much ability to do things, but I have confidence. My self-confidence lies in the fact that as long as I want this thing, I will definitely get it, and Jiang Chitose will take it out and give it to me without having to use a knife or a gun. ”
"You kid, you're a little confident, but where does your confidence come from, Ben Hou can't see. I tell you, I will not pay it whether it is money or books. How much floating wealth Jiang still has outside, you can guess it yourself, if you find it, count your ability, if you can't find it, then there is no way. ”
Yang Chengzu picked up the wine jar and poured two bowls of the residual wine inside, "Jiang Qiansui, don't say too much, I know your thoughts." You are guilty of the sin of being beheaded all over the house, and you can't keep your sons, and your wives and daughters will be sent to meritorious people as slaves. Supposedly, you won't have any thoughts, so why do you keep so much money? Thinking about it, there is only one possibility, and that is that you are outside, and there is incense. ”
Jiang Bin's expression changed, and in an instant, he almost couldn't help but pounce on Yang Chengzu. But in the next moment, he still chose to abandon the action, and instead sneered
"I only knew Yang Chengzu's good drama you sang, but I didn't expect you to tell a good joke. I still have incense outside? My house was surrounded by officials and soldiers for several layers, and then the army went in to raid the house, if anyone can escape at this time, it will be unless it is a fairy manifestation. Do you think that for people like me, the gods will help? ”
"Not really, but with you, why wait for the Immortal Gang? As you said, we are a kind of human being, so I can guess what you think. We have always relied on ourselves, not on the gods, whether he helps or not, it is worthless. ”
Yang Chengzu looked at Jiang Bin and found that although the other party's gaze was fierce, behind the fierceness, there was already a trace of fear. After all, this person is a military general, and the city government is not very deep, and when he is poked in the heart, it is difficult to stay calm emotionally.
"On the day of the siege, you didn't have a chance to send people away, but before that? Cunning rabbit three holes, you Jiang Chitose has your own woman outside, and then this woman can't enter your door for some reason, but she gave birth to a child for you again. This child, you didn't take it too seriously, after all, people like you, except for yourself, rarely really cared about anyone. Even if it's his own son, it doesn't matter if he has him or not. But after Banzai died, you realized that there might be some danger, so you began to secretly hide the gold and silver outside, and gave the account book to this woman, so that she could be a life-saving thing, and that was probably it. ”
When Jiang Bin heard this, he suddenly stretched out his big hand and grabbed Yang Chengzu's throat, and the chopsticks in his other hand were like a spirit snake spitting out letters, resisting Yang Chengzu's eyes. Although he was tortured in prison, he still has a foundation in sword and horse martial arts, and these few blows are clean and full of murderous spirit.
"The surname is Yang, don't think you're going to eat me. Anyway, Lao Tzu is also a person who is going to die, and it doesn't matter if he takes you one more. Don't push me! ”
Yang Chengzu didn't have a panicked look on his face, but with a smile, "Spread out, is it interesting to make trouble like this?" I'm not your enemy, and I don't want to kill your whole family. If you kill me, those people outside will avenge me, and then you will really cut off your children and grandchildren. You're not stupid enough to think no one is looking for them, are you? If Jin Yiwei wants to check, he will definitely be able to find out, and Jiang Chitose must also agree with this. But I would like to warn you that someone other than me may be looking for someone, and if they do, I don't think they will be as polite as I am. ”
"I ...... Why should I believe you? Deal...... It's a big deal, Lao Tzu is going to be beheaded all over the house, and after death, there is no grave, and there is no need for people to go to the grave to burn incense, but to burn incense...... Useless. ”
Jiang Bin's mouth was hard, but his hand had been loosened, and the chopsticks were thrown to the ground by him. Yang Chengzu was dressed neatly
"The reason you believe me is simple, we are one kind of people. Everyone is unprofitable and can't afford to be early, so what's the use of me killing your whole family? Besides, you don't have all the rest in your family, I know that you have daughters, wives, and concubines, and these people don't have to die, as long as they sell meritorious people as slaves. This matter is handed over to the Ministry of Rites, and I will find a way to buy them and promise not to let people cuckold you. Everyone knows each other, and that's all there is to do. As for believing me or not, it's all up to you. ”
