Zhu Youzhen couldn't help laughing, he thought that since Chen Shiding dared to do such a power-seeking thing when he was basically sitting in Jiangnan, how hard he would be, but he didn't expect that at this moment, he just said a word of chopping, so he softened his bones first.

However, since Chen Shiding wants to expose it, he can't ignore it, so he can also use Chen Shiding's exposure to punish those members of the rebellious party who don't seem to have participated in this matter on the surface.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen asked Wang Chengen of Dongchang to send Chen Shiding to prison first, but Chen Shiding's family property still had to be copied, and people still had to be sent to Dongfan, just to save his own life.

Gao Hongtu, who was kneeling outside, found that he had nothing to fight against his majesty at this time, if he chose to commit suicide now, he could only watch the salt tax reform be taken over by others, and it was even very likely that it was Ruan Dayue, the eunuch he hated the most!

And his Gao family will also change from a vested interest in the salt tax reform to a large salt merchant who has been deprived of his benefits.

In addition, now seeing that these guards have surrounded their mansions inside and out, and they are all loaded with guns, and Chen Shiding's kneeling and licking appearance makes Gao Hongtu also understand that he is only afraid that if he does not express it again, it will not only be as simple as suicide, but he is afraid that he will be bitten by Chen Shiding and threaten the safety of his family.

Gao Hongtu despised Chen Shiding's performance at this time.

He could guess that this incident was set off by Chen Shiding and others, but at the moment, he was the only one who pleaded for these members of the Duan Literature Society, and he was actually the real victim, these members of the Duan Literature Club were here to blackmail him, and the original purpose of these guards officers and soldiers was actually to relieve the siege of their own first assistant.

But now he wants to kill himself for the death of these members of the Duan Literature Society, but Chen Shiding has never done anything, not even saying half a word of pleading.

Gao Hongtu felt very uncomfortable, he couldn't understand why these Confucian friends who had received the same Confucian education as himself and usually seemed quite decent were so indifferent and fickle at the moment.

But he couldn't care so much at the moment, in order to save the lives and property of his family and express his loyalty to His Majesty, he stood up decisively, did not pick up the long sword that Zhu Youzhen threw to him, but ran towards Zhu Youzhen, raised his arms and shouted: "Long live my emperor!" ”

"Long live my emperor!"

Gao Hongtu's hair was loose, his wet official uniform was full of dirt and blood, his voice was very loud, and even a little hoarse, but he couldn't help but burst into tears, and after crying a few words in front of Zhu Youzhen, he fainted directly on the ground, splashing muddy water.

"Okay, okay, it's not sincere at all, help Shoufu down, so that you can live and recuperate!"

Although Zhu Youzhen was impatient, he also knew that Gao Hongtu meant to compromise with himself, and in the end, he, the first assistant, did not dare to choose to resist himself to the end in the way of death.

Because Zhu Youzhen was raining again, and his mood had fluctuated a lot recently, he also felt a little dizzy at this time, so he simply changed his clothes in Gaofu to rest.

And the people of Gaofu did not dare to snub His Majesty the Ming Emperor, and the hot water ginger soup was immediately sent, including dim sum and clear tea, all of which should be complete.

As for the arrest of other members of the rebellious party, Zhu Youzhen handed it over to Wang Chengen.

The armed forces in the city of Pingding were handed over to Ruan Dayue, and Ruan Dayue, the secretary of the military department, was ordered to temporarily control the three infantry battalions of the guards Xia Yunyi, Chen Zilong, and Gu Yanwu for three days.

"I'd rather kill 3,000 by mistake than let go of a person, in these three days, how many kills are how much, I don't even ask, after three days, I want Nanjing City to be completely quiet and clean!"

As soon as Zhu Youzhen said this, Wang Chengen and Ruan Dayue also understood what Zhu Youzhen meant, and began to search for them throughout Nanjing.

……

"Ruthless, really ruthless, I didn't expect you Zhu Youzhen to be so ruthless, today's affairs must be told to the regent!"

Tu Guobao said that he was ready to leave here immediately, because now a large number of officers and soldiers had appeared, and began to strictly order the people of all quarters to return to their houses, and he had to prepare to go through the streets and alleys to return to his residence.

However, just when Tu Guobao walked to Jixian Fang, he was stopped by the two Dongchang officials, and Zhao Yufei, who was sentenced to 100 households, jumped directly from the beam of the house:

"Tu Guobao, originally a water thief of Taihu Lake, later surrendered to Hong Chengchou, for my Ming Dynasty commander-in-chief, Chongzhen surrendered to Jiannu in the seventeenth year, Chongzhen went south with Duoduo in the eighteenth year, and went to the south of the Yangtze River to secretly develop forces, intending to help Jiannu succeed."

Zhao Yufei laughed, pulled out the Pu knife, carried it on his shoulder, walked towards the Tu Guobao step by step, and told the information of the Tu Guobao one by one.

Tu Guobao was a little panicked, but he still forced himself to retreat calmly:

"The little one doesn't understand what the official man means in his words, the little one is called Wei Congsheng, not called Tu Guobao, a native of Nanjing, if the official doesn't believe it, you can ask the people in Taipingfang!"

"At this time, I am still quibbling, General Soldier, you are really calm, and I don't know how much benefit Dolgon and Hong Chengchou have given you, and they have made you work so hard, are you really the people in our East Factory are mentally retarded, and they have contacted the court officials on the ground of my Nanjing City several times, although you have changed no less than thirty identities, but Lao Tzu can still recognize you!"

After Zhao Yufei said this, he gritted his teeth and said: "The dog man and the traitor did not hesitate to sell the country for personal utilitarianism, and if he didn't capture you alive today, it is not enough to deter traitors inside and outside!" ”

At this time, Tu Guobao also began to realize that his quibbles were useless, and he should have been targeted a long time ago, so he whistled anxiously, and then five people with excellent body skills jumped out of nowhere.

Most of the houses in Jiangnan are low and not high, and the streets and alleys are narrow and very crowded, so it is very easy to hide people, and it is not uncommon for people to pop up suddenly.

"Be careful, sir!"

Five people with excellent body skills immediately blocked in front of Tu Guobao, and Tu Guobao hurriedly ran towards the other side.

But at this time, another pair of people from Dongchang walked towards him.

The five Tu Guobao guards with excellent body skills were all killed by Zhao Yufei of Dongchang within three minutes, and Tu Guobao was also captured alive.

……

At this time, Guan Shaoning, Huo Da, and Ouyang Da also knew the news that the members of the Duan Literature Club were slaughtered.

Guan Shaoning slapped the table angrily: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do, is it to completely break with my Ming Confucian!" ”

"Guan Ge Lao, now is not the time to talk about this, hurry up and find a way to run to the territory of the Qing Dynasty, although we will not be known by His Majesty now that we are involved in this matter, but once we are questioned, our sins will be greater, we have to flee to the Qing Dynasty before the matter is revealed, anyway, the Qing Dynasty will dominate the world, and it will not be too late to come back then!"

Huoda, the right attendant of the military department, hurriedly stomped his feet and became anxious.

Guan Shaoning nodded, and hurriedly began to pack up the gold and silver and prepare to flee to the territory of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

However, fortunately, Zhu Youzhen had already ordered He Xin to lead the main force of the Second Army to seal Nanjing City at this time, and it was directly sealed for half a month!
