Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Five hundred is not much, but it is enough for many things.
Because Plug Yinxi is about to come back, Xu Yiyang dares to make a move, and there is Plug Yinxi, and there will be no chaos in Changsha Mansion. He wanted to make this case an iron case before Du Yinxi returned to Changsha Mansion, because Du Yinxi's posture showed that he could not stand on the side of the court in the anti-tax case.
It was precisely because of the imminent return of Du Yinxi that Yuan Chang did not resolutely stand up and walk to the opposite side of Xu Yiyang. At this time, Mingzhe will never make a wrong decision.
Liu Chengyin didn't want to meddle in this matter, so he ordered a thousand old and weak soldiers to follow Zhang Dawu and other 450 soldiers and march to Ningxiang County.
Xu Yiyang discharged all the soldiers and horses, leaving only fifty guards around him.
After Zhang Xinzheng and others were arrested, Yuan Changcai simply became the shopkeeper and completely handed over the Changsha Mansion to Xu Yiyang. Five members of Zhang Xinzheng's family were shackled and locked in prison. Xu Yiyang ordered someone to bring Guan Ping out of prison.
This is an emaciated middle-aged man who has been in prison for three years, and his beard is messy, but he still retains an outstanding temperament standing there.
Xu Yiyang beckoned and ordered Zhang Erwu to bring Li Qiuyue out.
"Guan Lang" Li Qiuyue pounced.
"Yueniang" Guan Ping stretched out his hand as thin as a bird's claws and stroked Li Qiuyue's autumn silk.
Xu Yiyang coughed heavily, and Li Qiuyue took a step back a little reservedly.
Guan Ping's originally cloudy eyes flashed with a glimmer of brilliance, and asked, "What the hell is going on?"
Li Qiuyue stood aside and said, "This is Lord Qin Xu from the imperial court, I can save you."
Xu Yiyang waved his hand, and Zhang Erwu stepped forward to signal Li Qiuyue to leave. When a man talks about things, there should not be a woman present.
"Guan Ping, are you from Changsha Mansion?"
"Yes" Guan Ping looked at Xu Yiyang with suspicious eyes, he was not a simple woman like Li Qiuyue. In Daming, everyone who can do a big business is not an ordinary person. Becoming a wealthy businessman is actually more difficult than lifting people in the exam.
Xu Yiyang asked: "Do you know the crimes committed by Zhang Xinzheng?" ”
Guan Ping frowned, speculating about what Xu Yiyang meant. Xu Yiyang is too direct, and businessmen rarely be so direct
Xu Yiyang said in a cold voice: "I want Zhang Xinzheng to die now, at least I want him to go bankrupt and ruin his reputation" According to the meaning of King Jin, he is not afraid of making things big in Changsha. Shilin from all over the Ming Dynasty are talking about the King of Jin, and the King of Jin wants to kill a chicken to show the monkey.
Guan Ping used to be a wealthy businessman in Changsha Province, and although he has been imprisoned for three years, he is familiar with the connections and secrets here, and it is very likely that there are many cronies and friends in Changsha Province. In Daming, how many squires have never done anything harmful? It is nothing more than whether the imperial court will resolutely investigate it, and whether the government will resolutely protect it.
"Is it possible that if I can find evidence of Zhang Xinzheng's crime, the adults can let me out?"
Xu Yiyang took out a brand new cyan robe from behind him and said, "I can let you out now, but I really need Zhang Xinzheng's incriminating evidence."
Guan Ping's eyes were excited, and he said: "There are countless people who have been bullied by the Zhang family, but those people are afraid of the Zhang family's obscenity and dare not stand up and sue."
"He Tengjiao was beheaded for rebellion, and Zhang Xinzheng has been put in prison by me" Xu Yiyang took out a burden and said: "Here is a hundred taels of silver, you can leave now, I want you to find someone to sue Zhang Xinzheng as much as possible." The bigger the incriminating evidence, the better, only if the Zhang family is defeated, you can gain a foothold in Changsha Mansion. ”
"Okay" Guan Ping was a little clear, knelt on the ground and said: "Although I Guan Ping has been imprisoned for three years, I still have this ability in Changsha, as long as Lord Xu controls the officials and does not punish them at will, and opens up a corner of the Zhang family's crimes, it is enough for him to die a few times."
Xu Yiyang waved his hand.
Guan Ping walked out of the mansion with his package and clothes. He really wanted to see Li Qiuyue again and ask him about the matter, but the young Lord Qincha wouldn't give him a chance.
Xu Yiyang is too young. If it weren't for him seeing Li Qiuyue, if it weren't for the fact that he walked out of the gate of the mansion and no one came to stop him, it would be hard for him to believe that he was hit by a pie falling from the sky.
Plug Yinxi was about to come back, and Yuan Changcai hid at home and didn't come out, letting Xu Yiyang toss.
A servant came to Yuan's mansion in a panic, and after seeing Yuan Changcai, he knelt on the ground and said: "Master, it's not good, someone is planning to storm the mansion and want to rescue Zhang Lao" He is Yuan Changcai's cronies,
Yuan Changcai asked, "Is it Young Master Zhang?" ”
The eldest young master of the Zhang family is not the same as the two brothers who are not successful, the eldest young master of the Zhang family, Zhang Huaiyu, is a jinshi and does not live at home, but lives in a unique house at the foot of Yuelu Mountain.
The catcher replied: "No, who else has heard that there are hundreds of people, in addition to the domestic slaves of the Zhang family, there are also many talents."
Yuan Changcai twisted his beard and paced.
The headcatcher asked, "Do you want to stop them?" ”
Yuan Changcai said: "Don't, even if they rush into the mansion, you don't want to stop it, but you go and tell Lord Xu about this now."
"Yes," the headcatcher turned and left.
Yuan Changcai didn't want to offend anyone, because he didn't know which side Du Yinxi would help.
Giving Xu Yiyang the news is a hint that he is not on the side of the Zhang family. If it was just a tax resistance case, he wouldn't be like this, and Zhang Xinzheng's words scared him that day. He just wants to be an official in peace, even if he is dismissed and goes home, he is not willing to confront the imperial court.
Around the hour, on the streets of Changsha Mansion, a group of people broke out like a sudden flash flood. These people shouted and shouted, and some of them still held hoes, brooms and other things in their hands, and rushed to the Changsha Mansion.
The people walking in front were all scholars wearing scribe clothes, one jinshi, two lifters and more than 20 talents.
That Jinshi was Zhang Xinzheng's eldest son, Zhang Huaiyu. After he heard his family's announcement this afternoon, he was furious, and immediately gathered his house slaves to come to the government to ask for an explanation.
The scholars of the Ming Dynasty have great authority, and it can be seen that the officials do not kneel, such as Jinshi and others once they go to the government to make trouble, the chief officials of the prefectures and counties cannot beat and scold.
Zhang Huaiyu was thoughtful, and first sent someone to inquire about the news, confirming that it was only Xu Yiyang who was sent by Qin to act without authorization, and the prefect Yuan Changcai was forced to stay at home, and he was full of confidence. Wang Fuzhi was also at the foot of Yuelu Mountain, and when he heard about it, he hurried to persuade him: "Lord Block will return to Changsha soon, and if you take someone to attack the government now, you will only give people a handle."
Zhang Huaiyu took out a piece of article and put it in front of Wang Wangfuzhi, who closed his mouth and stopped talking. It was an article written by Zhang Pu, the former leader of the Restoration Society, that passed on the Ming Dynasty - "The Tombstone of Five People".
During the Apocalypse, the eunuch party sent people to Suzhou to arrest Zhou Shunchang of the Donglin Party, and the righteous people of Suzhou rioted with righteous indignation. Later, the imperial court sent troops to arrest them, and five righteous people surrendered and were beheaded. Zhang Pu wrote an epitaph to commemorate. At that time, the fiercest struggle between Donglin and the eunuchs was precisely for the anti-mining tax and tax supervision.
