Chapter 125: Bloodstained Jining City [Asking for a Monthly Pass]
While kowtowing, Wang Guan shouted: "I am willing to explain who is the master of the calculation of the overseer, I can testify, and ask the overseer to spare my life!" ”
Chen Li's eyes shrank, although he had already expected it in his heart, but when he saw Wang Guan kneeling in front of Chu Yi as he was worried, Chen Li still couldn't help but sink in his heart, and said angrily: "Wang Guan, if you dare, aren't you afraid that adults will destroy you?" ”
Wang Guan had red eyes, turned around and yelled at Chen Li: "He, Lu Wenyang, thinks that if we fail this time, he can stay out of the matter, is it really a fool to be the master of Chu, can't he guess that he is the mastermind behind the scenes?" ”
Chen Li pointed at Wang Guan and was angry, and immediately a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fainted angrily.
A cold light flashed in Chu Yi's eyes, and sure enough, after noticing the abnormality on the canal, Chu Yi was guessing who was planning against him.
There are very few people who can drive the big and small gangs on this canal to use it, and the only one is Lu Wenyang, the governor of Caoyun.
Don't look at the governor of Caoyun as just a local official, but he is in charge of the entire Caoyun, which means that most of the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty is in his hands, and the right to transfer troops along the canal is not enough, one or two guards may be transferred privately, but if it is large-scale, it must be approved by the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, in addition, it is the official ship transfer of the entire Grand Canal, which is under the jurisdiction of the governor of Caoyun.
Outside the Grand Canal, it is fine, but all those who depend on this Grand Canal for their livelihood can be said to be directly or indirectly influenced by the Governor of Caoyun.
Otherwise, how could those unruly gangs be so easy to talk and not move with tens of millions of taels of silver, not because they don't want to, but because they don't dare to be the first bird.
"What a Lu Wenyang, even the overseer dares to calculate, this time he will be wiped out!"
Cao Shaoqin screamed murderously.
This time, Cao Shaoqin almost lost his life, almost planted in the hands of those first-class experts in the rivers and lakes, if it weren't for the cultivation of the Sunflower Treasure Book, I am afraid that other first-class top powerhouses would have been besieged to death.
"Overseer, just spare my life, and I can testify against Lu Wenyang for you......"
Chu Yi glanced at Wang Guan lightly and said, "This governor is going to kill him Lu Wenyang, do you still need you to testify?" ”
While speaking, Chu Yi said: "Cao Shaoqin, Fang Li, and Er will stay to load the silver two unloading ships and assist Gao Fengzhen to escort them to Beijing. ”
Gao Feng's eyes narrowed, guarding the Grand Canal is not without benefits, one is well-informed, others are not clear, but not long ago, several bloody cases that Chu Yi frantically created in Jiangnan have reached Gao Feng's ears.
Gao Feng didn't expect Chu Yi to be so ruthless and decisive, even when he suddenly heard it, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
If it weren't for this, how could Gao Feng have ordered his troops and horses to sneak out of Jining City as soon as he received Chu Yi's request for help, after all, Gao Feng was suppressed by Chu Yi's ruthless methods.
"Brother Chu, are you preparing ......?"
Chu Yi turned over and got on his horse, shook his sneer, and sneered at Gao Feng: "Chu is going to kill someone!" ”
Seeing the murderous intent in the depths of Chu Yi's eyes, Gao Feng couldn't help but swallow his saliva and tried to show a little smile and said to Chu Yi: "Brother Chu Yi is going to go, our family is here, and the tattoo silver will definitely be safe and sound." ”
Cao Shaoqin's strength is not bad, Fang Li is even more thoughtful, plus Gao Feng commands the army, in broad daylight, unless some people really want to rebel, otherwise on this land route, he really doesn't worry that someone will be able to rob the silver.
"Shi Kui, Chu Fang, Qi Hu, pick up the people and horses, and follow the master to raid the family and exterminate the clan!"
"Yes!"
With Chu Yi's order, Shi Kui directly ordered the people, and the elite under his command had already lost nearly thirty percent of them after the previous melee, in addition to the nearly 100 people who died, there were still dozens of wounded, but there were still more than 300 people who still had the strength of a battle.
More than 300 people suddenly got up, lined up neatly in a blink of an eye, and Qi Hu and Shi Kui directly took Wang Guan, Chen Li and others and went straight to Jining City.
Jining City relies on the Grand Canal, although it is not as prosperous as Yangzhou and Hangzhou, which are water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is also much more prosperous than many cities in the north.
When the rumbling horses' hooves rushed into Jining City, the peace of Jining City was broken, Shi Kui personally led the team, and more than a dozen Jining Mansion families such as Wang Guan and Du Wen were all arrested.
Chu Yi personally led people to raid the house, and there were no more than 200,000 taels of silver in the house of Wang Guan, the prefect of Jining, you must know that he has only been in office for three years, and he has saved hundreds of thousands of net worth by relying on the Grand Canal.
As for Jining's garrison Du Wen's house, there are more than 100,000 taels of silver, but compared with the prefect Wang Guan, Du Wen's family does not have much silver, but the fields under the name of the Du family are more than 30,000 acres, and it can be said that most of the fertile land around Jining is in the hands of these people.
Jining Prefecture, including the prefect, garrison, Tongzhi, Tongju, Fu experience, state judge, professor and other officials were all taken down, and these people's homes were at least 10,000 taels of silver, and the total number of acres of land exceeded more than 10,000 mu.
As for the shops and restaurants in Jining City, almost thirty percent are under the names of these more than ten officials.
When the sky was bright, the huge Jining City seemed to wake up from its slumber, but when these people started a new day as usual, they found a team of officials beating gongs and drums.
"Jining prefect Wang Guan, garrison Du Wen and other officials led the army to attack Qincha, intending to rebel, and now raiding the family and exterminating the clan, at three o'clock in the afternoon, beheading the public, declaring the Quartet, in order to set an example!"
Everywhere these officials passed, everyone who heard the news was stunned at once, and it was as if the entire city of Jining had changed overnight.
A butcher looked stunned and said to a customer on the opposite side with a knife: "I can't hear me wrong, right, Lord Prefect, Lord Garrison, they are going to be beheaded?" ”
The person on the other side also looked sluggish, slapped his face and said, "Hallucination, it must be an illusion!" ”
However, the official looked at the gong and announced that the sound of the Quartet had not yet gone away, and it could be heard clearly, and everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but rush towards the Dharma field.
At this time, on the law field of Jining City, headed by Wang Guan, the prefect of Jining, Du Wen and others, plus the families of several families, there were hundreds of people, and the law field of Jining City was crowded.
At this time, there were already a lot of people gathered around the Dharma Field who came to see the excitement, originally everyone didn't believe it, after all, they had never heard of killing most of the officials in the entire city at once, but when they came to the place of the Dharma Field, they saw with their own eyes that the former high up such as the prefect Wang Guan, the garrison Du Wen and others were kneeling there in embarrassment, and everyone was dumbfounded.
"Oh my God, it's really the prefect and the garrison, they can't really attack the Qincha honor guard!"
In the crowd, several literati saw the prefect, the garrison and others being detained on the court and their expressions became extremely ugly, as literati, they were naturally well-informed, unlike these ordinary people who did not know what was going on.
Not long ago, they heard the news that Chu Yi had slaughtered and slaughtered literati in the south of the Yangtze River, and listened to the notices of those officials, and these literati suddenly felt in their hearts that the reason why the prefect Wang Guan and others attacked Qincha was to kill the eunuch Chu Yi.
But looking at this situation, it is obvious that Wang Guan and others have failed.
"The eunuch who killed this day, he killed so many people in Jiangnan, and now he is going to kill in Jining City, is he going to kill all the way back to Beijing?"
"It's a pity for the prefect, it seems that they can't escape this time!"
Chu Yi looked condescendingly at Wang Guan, Du Wen and the others: "You are really worthy of the Son of Heaven, you can't wait for more than a dozen, and there are no as many as 560,000 taels of silver, more than 50,000 acres of land, and dozens of shops and restaurants, this is your way of being an official, is this how you serve the Son of Heaven?" ”
Under the quiet spread of some literati, many people knew Chu Yi's murderous name, and everyone almost instinctively had no good impression of the eunuchs, but as a result, many people actually sympathized with Wang Guan, Du Wen and others, and now when they heard Chu Yi's words about the huge number of embezzlement by Wang Guan, these people were dumbfounded, and immediately became angry, and many people directly picked up the stones and sundries on the ground and threw them at Wang Guan and others on the court.
For these ordinary people, even one or two lines of silver are their expenses for a month in their eyes, and now Chu Yi actually told them that Wang Guan's more than a dozen people had copied hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, where did so many patterns of silver come from, and fools know that this is from greed for ink.
"Corrupt officials, corrupt officials!"
"Kill them, kill them!"
For a while, the shouts and killings of Wang Guan and Du Wen were shocking, and even some literati who had helped Wang Guan and them in the crowd before and smeared Chu Yi were also startled at this time, and hurriedly fled, for fear of being killed by the pond fish.
Chu Yi looked at Wang Guan and the others with a little disdain, and picked up the token and threw it out: "Everyone, please go on the road, remember not to be a corrupt official in the next life!" ”
Wang Guan and the others struggled violently one by one and cursed: "Gelding, you must not die well!" ”
The heads rolled down, and Jining City changed color.
Overnight, the officialdom of Jining City was slaughtered by Chu Yi by more than thirty percent, and it can be said that the officials above the eighth grade died seventy-seven, eighty-eight, and there were only a very small number of officials and officials with good reputations left.
In addition to the principal Fei Xi, there are still more than a dozen people in the Jining Chengdong Factory stronghold, Chu Yi personally performed the soul transfer method, and screened out three fans who had been bought to clean up this stronghold.
In addition to the cash silver being escorted out of the city and escorted to Beijing by Gao Feng, Cao Shaoqin and others, the remaining land deeds and shop deeds were instructed to be responsible for the follow-up processing by the remaining Dongchang personnel.
The gate of Jining City opened, and Chu Yi led Shi Kui and the others to leave, leaving only a piece of blood and the murderous name of the butcher of Chu.
A fast horse galloped over, and it was a Dongchang fanzi, and when he saw the Dongchang fanzi rolling to the ground, he took out a letter from his cuff and said: "Overseer, this is the news from Gao Feng's manager." ”
Chu Yi opened the envelope and swept his gaze, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he looked at Chen Li, who was tied to a horse and was extremely embarrassed: "This governor is going to meet this Caoyun governor for a while, I want to see, is he really not afraid of death?" ”
