p Chapter 218 The Great Raider

Saint...... Purpose?

Yang He was momentarily stunned, this ...... What the hell is going on? Subconscious reaction, he still instinctively knelt down to accept the order, in addition to Gao Qi diving, he also saw the one-armed commander of the Jinyi Guard, Lei Yin, the chief officer of the Shenji Battalion, Li Xin, and the commander of the Royal Guards Independent Battalion Gao Jie coming out of the back hall with expressionless faces, which made him feel a sense of fear.

Gao Qiqian read the holy decree in a feminine and harsh tone unique to the eunuch, the content of the decree is generally after the court trial, the eight major families betrayed the country, and also committed many things that hurt the heavens and reason, the evidence is conclusive, so he ordered Yang He, the governor of Shanxi, Li Xin, the chief officer of the Shenji Battalion, and Gao Jie, the commander of the independent battalion of the royal guards, to assist the Jinyi Wei command envoy to arrest the eight families, escort them into Beijing, if there is resistance, kill them, disobey the decree or leak secrets, and report to the eight families, they will be regarded as defecting to the enemy and betraying the country, and they will be beheaded.

After Zhu Jian ascended the throne, most of the holy decrees he issued contained words such as beheading and copying and beheading, which made all the civil officials very unhappy, Yang He was one of them, but the words such as the full door copying and beheading in this holy decree made him smell the murderous fear inside, this little faint monarch seems to be playing really?

"Obey." Yang He respectfully accepted the order, in this case, even if he owed the eight families a hundred lives, he would not dare to joke with his own and the whole family's heads.

Under Lei Yin's instructions, Yang He sent people to call all the officials of Taiyuan Mansion to gather in this mansion for a meeting, which was actually house arrest in disguise.

Subsequently, groups of soldiers with loaded guns poured into the city to control the number of government soldiers, government offices, official warehouses, city gates, and major traffic arteries, so as to strictly prevent leakage of information and prevent accidents.

Shanxi is the territory of the Eight Families, and it is well disguised, most of the officials are bribed, and they are also quite popular among the people, if they rush in to arrest people, I am afraid that Jinyiwei has not yet entered the territory of Shanxi, and the Eight Families have already received the news, calmly destroyed the evidence and ran away, and the people were still stirred up by them, causing a civil uprising.

Zhu Jian had already wanted to get rid of the eight families, and finally waited for the opportunity, of course he would not miss it, and Song Xiance and others discussed it several times before they came up with such a plan, when the joint investigation team was still on the way back to Beijing, Lei Yin and Gao Qiqian had already taken a team of Jinyi guards to set off for Shanxi in disguise to stand by, and the independent battalion of the Royal Guards was under the banner of field military exercises, day and night, with the help of the Iron Guards and the Red Gang, quietly infiltrated Shanxi, and lurked near Taiyuan Mansion.

Lei Yin led only more than 100 Jinyi guards, and the independent battalion of the royal guards was full of 3,000 people, Zhu Jian was still worried that the Taiyuan army would be instigated by some people to make trouble, and then turn into a mutiny, and separately ordered Li Xin to lead a group of people from the Shenji Battalion to sneak to Shanxi to assist in standby.

The holy decree has already been written, carried by Gao Qiqian, only need to fill in the date, and on the day when the joint investigation team arrives in Beijing, the Jinyi Wei secret spy passed the news of the operation to Lei Yin and others who are far away in Shanxi in the form of beacon fire, and the Donglin Party is playing a game of time difference.

Raiding the house and arresting people is the most jealous, of course Zhu Jian will not send Lu Hongniang to do this kind of dirty work, and send Li Xin and Gao Jie to assist Lei Yin in raiding the house and arresting people, being the back pot man is only one of them, the most important thing is to force the two of them to have no more way to go, so they can only hold his dragon legs tightly.

When the wolf-like soldiers surrounded the big mansions of the seven families, the people of the seven families had not yet reacted, and were gathering in the study for a meeting, all of them were served in one pot, and some of them were also identified and arrested by the Jinyi secret spies and the Red Gang disciples who had been lurking for many years, and none of them escaped the net, and the people in the city still didn't understand what was going on.

The city gate was blocked, and no one was allowed to enter or exit, even if someone wanted to pass on the news, they couldn't get out, and all the granges outside the city were confiscated, and all the property was confiscated, of course, it was said that it was all confiscated, but in fact, only one-tenth of it was handed over to the treasury, and the rest all went into Zhu Jian's small treasury.

Shanxi side is busy raiding the house and arresting people, the Jingshi Palace's Jinluan Hall is noisy, saliva flies, and finally it evolved into a group of fights, which lasted until nearly the evening, under the strong pressure of Zhu Jian, the officials of the Donglin Party and the Jiangnan faction ceased the war, when Zhu Jian proposed to raid the house and arrest people again, the Donglin Party hesitated for a long time before agreeing, at this time, the sky gradually darkened, the city gate was closed, Jinyiwei wanted to rush to Shanxi to arrest people, and he could only wait until tomorrow dawn, after the city gate was opened, The Donglin Party bought another day.

The holy decree has not yet left the palace, Jin Yiwei has hidden in a mansion Jin Liangyu and Liang guests and entourage all captured, Jin and Liang came to Beijing to give gifts and leave the relationship, as early as under the strict monitoring of Jinyi Wei's secret spies, the two were warned by the Donglin Party, and quietly transferred to a mansion bought a few years ago to hide, I thought that I did it unknowingly, and waited for the wolf-like Jinyi Wei to break in, regretting it too late.

After the holy decree out of the palace, all the shops opened by the eight families in the capital city and the neighboring counties were all seized and confiscated, and then it was the turn of the shops and granges and other properties across the country, and the specific copy was still in the tense statistics, it is said that the amount was so huge that it scared people to death, and it was estimated that it was more than dozens of times that of the Ming treasury, and there were nearly 3,000 people in the family and important personnel alone, and the servants in the house were not counted, and the young and strong people who did not have household registration were as many as more than 20,000 people, and this did not count their family members.

Of course, it is not enough to simply and rudely arrest people and raid their homes, and propaganda must also keep up, after all, the reputation of the Eight Great Families is good, with various halos such as helping the poor people and helping poor scholars to study and study, and it is difficult to win the hearts of the people and appease the people if their halos are broken.

In addition to posting notices announcing that the eight major families have betrayed the country, oppressed the people, annexed the people's fertile land, and other crimes, the newspapers also have to vigorously publicize it, and the professional trust is even more mixed with the streets and alleys, intentionally or unintentionally leaking a certain internal information, so that the people can know how many ugly things the eight families have done over the years to betray the country and seek glory, and hurt nature and reason, and they all say that those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and the control of social public opinion occupies the commanding heights of morality.

Of course Zhu Jian is crazy, I don't know if the huge family property of the eight families can be compared to the biggest corrupt official and Kun in the Qing Dynasty? However, he doesn't have time to be happy now, he is in a meeting with Song Xiance and other advisory groups to discuss major matters, and everyone here has two lists in their hands, one of which is a long list, some of the names are painted with red crosses, some are drawn with small red circles, and most of the names have nothing behind them, and of course the inconsequential small fish and shrimp don't need to be ignored.

The net has been collected, the fish has been caught, but so far, Zhu Jian still has no specific blacklist in his heart, which can only be determined after Lei Yin and others raid their homes and send back important letters, ledgers and other evidence.

The official position in the six departments is not big, but there is real power, the most important thing is that you can directly face the saint, return to the holy decree issued by the Son of Heaven, and refuse to carry out the power, Zhu Jian has still not been able to make an independent decision, when a dictatorial emperor, each of his holy decrees has to go through the court discussion, the cabinet seconded it, and then approved by the six departments to the department before it can take effect, if you want the holy order to be smooth, you have to firmly control the six departments to the department, and the Donglin Party officials in the department have become the first batch of unlucky eggs.
