Chapter 804: The Death of King Mi (I)
Nanjing, as the accompanying capital, retained all the administrative institutions of the Beijing Division, in fact, even the Jinyi Wei pro-army commanded the envoy Yamen. Since the capital of Jingshi, this yamen has not been used at all, and the Jinyi Guard, which plays a role in Nanjing, is the Jinyi Guard, which is directly affiliated to the Thousand Households in the South. This time, the Xie family had to be interrogated, and this yamen was restored, and Wang Bangqi, who was a thousand households in Nanzhili, also went into battle in person and served as an assistant for Yang Chengzu.
This person's reputation is quite poor, and in the Zhengde era, he relied on Qian Ning to get mixed into a thousand-household position. Later, Qian Ning was dismissed, and Wang Bangqi was almost liquidated. He moved up and down, barely saving his life, but he was also hidden by the snow. It wasn't until Yang Chengzu restored Jinyiwei that someone mentioned Wang Bangqi to him, but that mention was not a sponsor, but hoped that Yang Chengzu would clean up this black sheep.
According to the introduction, Wang Bangqi is a person who has nothing to do except frame and frame. The biggest ability is to cooperate with the eunuchs to take stolen goods to the big families in Jiangnan, and then rely on this means to extort money, and the people in Jiangnan are very angry. Such a person is the most precious talent for the current development of Yang Chengzu and even the entire Yang Ji, so it is no wonder that he was reinstated and promoted.
Wang Bangqi was originally destined to be hopeless, but this time he was a Jedi, so he regarded Yang Chengzu as a benefactor, and he really worked hard. The entire interrogation room was arranged like a netherworld underworld, and those torture instruments were sprinkled with blood, and the smell of blood was pungent.
Xie Zun was not really tortured, even the rope was gone, and someone put a bowl of tea in front of him. Yang Chengzu pointed and said, "This is ginseng tea, for Master Xie's body, it's not very good, it can't be compared with your family, make do with it, you know what I want to ask, you still recruit it quickly, everyone saves trouble, isn't it good?" ”
Xie Zun's eyes were indifferent, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Yang Chengzu viciously, "The Wuyi Xie family, from the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, hundreds of years of Wang clan will be destroyed in your hands!" Why...... What is it for? If you want to do business, I'll help you, if you want to get rich, I'll send you. Xie asked himself, he may have offended you, but he has no mortal enmity with you, why do you have to kill them all? Thousands of miles for an official, for food and clothing, you are not a clean official, don't say anything like a mirror hanging high. The old man never thought of treating you as a clean official, with the financial resources of my Xie family, I am only afraid that I will not die, and I am not afraid that I will not be fed, but why do you ...... Why do you have to make it the way it is today? ”
"Why? That's the question you ask me? Master Xie, I think you are mistaken, this is the question I want to ask you. When this official came from Jingshi, he really wanted to be friends with you. Anyway, I sympathize with you for the loss of your new child, and you have been in business for so long, I should call you a senior. However, you are too greedy, grain is the capital of the country, this kind of business can only be controlled by the imperial court, what price you want, what price it must be. Only by ensuring that the majority of people have food to eat, can they not think of rebellion, and this world can be stable. It's not that you don't want to do these things, you just don't want to do them, so the result is that I come and you die, which is why you became like this. What I'm talking to you about is not the truth, but the foundation, if you only talk about the truth of business, then you can only say that you are not wronged. ”
Xie Zun snorted, "Yang Chengzu, I am very grateful to you for making your words clear, and it is precisely because the old man understands your plan that he will not let you in." If we were to switch positions, would you put the rats in your own rice tank? What you don't know, others won't do, sea trade or grain, if the imperial court comes in, it won't take ten years, and we, the merchants, I'm afraid we won't be able to do it anymore. You think big, you think about thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, thousands of people, I also have to think about my Xie family clan, tens of thousands of people. In your mind, these tens of thousands of people are just a number, but to me, they are all. ”
"So you're going to take advantage of the power of the Japanese to ruin my game? Xie Zun, don't think that if you don't recruit, I can't do anything about you. You are so old and a smart person, you should know that at this point, it doesn't really matter whether you have a confession or not. Even if you are dumb now, it will not affect the progress of the case, Tietou, take the confession of the eldest prince Xie to Master Xie and show it. ”
Wang Tietou brought Xie Chang's confession to Xie Zun, and Yang Chengzu hugged his shoulders and sneered, "Collusion with pirates, smuggling and selling contraband, colluding with the Japanese to lead the way for the Japanese people." Anyone who competes with you, the Black Shark Gang will kill people and seize ships. If someone goes against you in business, the Japanese will wash the city. This kind of means, you tell me that the court will not give you a way? Obviously, you are used to doing evil and power, so you regard this grain store as your family's industry, and refuse to let others interfere, either let others be your subordinates, or you can't do this business, and you simply treat yourself as the court. The salted fish you eat is thirsty, thank you, today is your retribution, what can you say! ”
"Fake...... These are all ...... you forced Chang'er" Xie Zun weakly defended two sentences, but in the end, he was powerless to throw his confession on the ground. He knew that his eldest son was born in good times and lacked tempering, and if he really took a big punishment, it was not inconceivable that he would not be punished but confess.
Moreover, at this point, what if the confession is false? In short, whether it is true or not, as long as there is such a confession, the Xie family's sins can be nailed, and no one will care if it is true or not.
He sighed and leaned back weakly, "That's it, Chang'er has never suffered after all, and he can't compete with your tiger and wolf methods, and it is also destined to have this confession." You don't have to be a decent gentleman, you look down on me and think I don't know the overall situation. But the sea of commerce is ruthless, if you want to eat, you have to fight with your life, this is a rule that everyone has to abide by. When our Xie family was down, did the court take care of us? In the future, when others want to take away my inheritance, will the court come out and protect my family property and my clan for me? Do you talk to the old man about retribution? If you talk about retribution, most of the people in Nanjing have retribution, and I think even God can't get retribution. ”
Leng Feishuang's beautiful eyes flowed, and his face showed a solemn look, "Xie Zun, so far, aren't you ready to confess?" Your family colluded with the Japanese to kill innocents, and the city of Ningbo was full of blood that day, and hundreds of people died because of you, don't you have a little repentance? ”
Her magic hand is used, even those thieves who kill people like hemp, they often feel remorse, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing. But Xie Zun looked at her for a long time, and his eyes were still as clear as water
"Little girl, you tell me about repentance, about compassion? Joke! Have you ever been out to sea, have you ever been shipwrecked? Let me tell you, when I was young, I went to sea with my elders, and that time we were shipwrecked, and a dozen people were stranded on a small island without anything to eat. In the end, everyone can only draw lots, and the person who is drawn will be used as food, and the person who is not drawn will eat him. I ate my two uncles and one of my closest brothers until the rescue boat found me. I have been able to live to this day by eating my own relatives, and you tell me compassion? In this world, you either eat people or be eaten, and if you don't want to be eaten, you have to eat people. If I Xie Zun and my family want to survive, we can only fight with our lives, we have no other way to go! Those people died because you came out to steal business from me, and I had to make this decision in order to save my family. So you are the one who kills them, and every one of you! ”
Leng Feishuang heard him talk about eating people so calmly, his face turned pale, and he slapped his palm on the table, and the next moment, after a while, the table made a tooth-sore sound, shattered into more than a dozen pieces, and spilled all over the ground.
