After the restoration of the Jinyi Guard, the personnel were greatly expanded, and in addition to most of the original personnel, many people were also absorbed from the people and the rivers and lakes. Who can get reinstated, who can be admitted, these things will ultimately be decided by Yang Chengzu.

Relying on this huge authority in personnel, Yang Chengzu has already mastered a large number of subordinates in Jinyiwei, including some who had nothing to do with him, but after having the grace of revenge, they have now become his henchmen.

Wang Bangqi doesn't know the identity information of these members, and he can't tell which henchmen around him are actually Yang Chengzu's eyes and ears. He also has fatal shortcomings, as long as Yang Chengzu wants to, just by raising his hand, he can die without a place to be buried. With these factors, there is no need to worry, he will show mercy to the Xie family's subordinates for one reason or another, or cheat for personal gain.

In addition to Xie Zun, those who were taken in Ningbo were also the leading figures in Zhejiang and even the famous families on the southeast coast, including patriarchs such as Feng Tai'an and Xu Fengming.

The family's rescue of them has never stopped, either from the government or from other aspects, sending money and interceding, doing everything. But the sin they committed was to be a traitor, and they were arrested, and even if they were lobbyists, they were not very easy to talk to.

The interrogation of these people is the same as the interrogation of the Xie family, and Jin Yiwei is fully responsible, and if others can't intervene, they can't do anything. At the same time as interrogating Xie Zun, the interrogation of other people was also being carried out intensely, and those people were also old fritters, and it was not so easy to pry their mouths open.

But as long as one of the cornerstones is leveraged, the entire gentry class in the southeast will be greatly affected, and the related chain reaction caused by it is far greater than the annihilation of more than 10,000 Japanese pirates.

Yang Chengzu didn't think about eliminating the wealthy families in the southeast, it was really unrealistic, even if he got ironclad evidence such as the confessions of these people, it would be difficult to achieve that goal. The final goal is just for everyone to take a step back, and the imperial court can collect a part of the tax, and then stretch out its hand to the sea trade. But as long as you can do this, you don't have to worry about the future.

Specific to interrogation and other work, that is the scope of professionals, Zhang Xuan and Gui Cao are also good at criminal names, with their assistance, there will definitely be no problems. This kind of interrogation was not an overnight effort, and the process required a lot of time and energy, and he had little interest in participating in it. Just lay down the errands, and then give them a future and benefits, and let the people below do the rest themselves.

It is impossible to say that they do not get oil and water in the middle, and such a big benefit does not let people get oil and water, which is tantamount to being unkind. However, he uses the backbone of his lineage, and his loyalty is reliable, so he will not really miss a big thing because of receiving money.

When she returned to the inner house, Cao Xiaowan listened to the news that the Xie family was full of people and that the whole family would be destroyed soon, with an expression of relief and admiration on her face, and praised her repeatedly, "The husband is so powerful, the concubine knows that even if no one in the world can control Xie Zun, the husband will definitely be able to." ”

Her idol-like expression can indeed give men enough satisfaction in their hearts, and successful people in this era like to accept some very young girls as concubines, and they also have this kind of feeling in it. In her eyes, she is an omnipotent hero, this feeling is of course gratifying, even if Yang Chengzu is quite displeased with some of Cao Xiaowan's actions, but in front of her, he is reluctant to say anything serious.

After all, she gave up the opportunity to be an imperial concubine for herself, and also chose to fake her death for herself, and never saw her family again. If you speak coldly to her again, isn't that forcing people to die?

Cao Xiaowan had already taken the initiative to undress Yang Chengzu at this time, pulled him to sit on the edge of the bed, took off his boots for him, moved his legs to his own legs, and gently beat them on them. "Husband, the daughter of the Xie family, this time you are going to sell meritorious people as slaves, right? I know that he has a couple of women in his house who look good and can help you buy them so that they can serve you. There are also a few girls on the troupe who are very handsome, I can ......"

"You don't have to worry about these things, just take care of yourself." Yang Chengzu enjoyed the other party's service, pondered the words, and told her how much benefit he could give the Cao family. Master Cao's head of the household department can't do it, but he can hang an honorary title in Yang Ji and get a sufficient amount of food and salary every month.

The Xie family has countless fields, and they can allocate a piece of land to support the Cao family. Cao Xiaowan's brothers can also consider mending the brocade clothes and guards, and they have their own care, so they don't have to worry about the future.

Cao Xiaowan listened quietly, and finally said with a sweet smile: "I am already my husband's person, so naturally everything is towards my husband, my mother's affairs, my husband will just look at the arrangement, I will not have any opinions." ”

The more she was like this, the more Yang Chengzu felt unbearable, gently touched her long hair, and pondered the words, "You don't have any friends in the inner house, and you can't meet your family, when you're fine, will it be boring?" After all, it will be a long time before I can come to see you, and if you have time, you can walk around the rooms and make friends with other people. ”

"It's not boring, I usually be a female celebrity in the room, or read a book, and the time is very good. Husband, you see, this is the picture of a hundred sons I embroidered, I want to give birth to many sons for you, and spread the branches and leaves for the Yang family. Also, the peace knot I knitted for my husband, when I have nothing to do, I can make up a few more, and I can also go to talk to my aunt, how can I be bored? My husband is the heaven on my head, I will do what you ask me to do, whether everyone likes me or not, I will definitely try to be friends with them. ”

Seeing her say this, and looking at her pitiful appearance, Yang Chengzu couldn't say some of the things he had imagined. The tranquility of the inner house is easier said than done, even if he knows that the Cao family is simple and secretly scheming on the surface, and he is not very friendly to other female dependents, but when he sees her like this, he can't harden his heart to discipline her, so he has to fool around. It's rare to be confused, and sometimes it's impossible not to be confused.

When he lived in Nanjing for almost a year, a huge breakthrough had been made in the matter of interrogation, and those non-gentry could no longer bear the punishment or the soft knife of Jinyiwei, and began to confess their guilt and surrender to the law. In this, the fall of Xie Zun is also an important impact, because it is a special case, the Son of Heaven gave him the right to act cheaply, and he did not wait for the autumn of the next year, just a year ago, a large-scale execution had already begun. Because there were so many people who were beheaded, the execution took half a month, and a group of executioners from neighboring provinces were borrowed to complete the task.

Xie Zun himself was sentenced to death, and it is said that the night before his execution, he was still shouting that Yang Chengzu lied to him and something like that, but no one wants to listen to this kind of words.

The eyes of the people are focused on how many men are left in the Xie family, and whether the thieves have been killed. Those scribes and talented people were concerned about when the beauties of the Xie family would be in the Jiaofang Division, while the eyes of the upper-level figures in the southeastern provinces were all focused on Yang Ji and the business he was involved in. This behemoth officially began the process of eating meat and drinking blood, and thrived by devouring the corpse of the Xie family, and the way and results of its development finally made these wealthy families have to look at each other squarely and think about countermeasures.
