Chapter 84 Bamboo Forest Book Society
Chu Yi glanced at Zhao Hongze, slightly avoided Zhao Hongze's knife on one side, and patted him on the shoulder, and immediately saw Zhao Hongze being slapped to the ground by him, and immediately several soldiers stepped forward to tie him up.
Looking at Zhao Hongze, who was spitting blood from his mouth and struggling with dissatisfaction, Chu Yi sighed lightly: "Yes, this is Jiangnan, but this world is still the world of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
Zhao Hongze put his head on his head and laughed: "Chu Yi, you have broken the rules of Jiangnan, you just wait to die without a place to be buried!" ”
Shi Kui stepped forward and smashed a punch on Zhao Hongze's mouth, and suddenly Zhao Hongze's mouth was bloody, and his mouth was gagged, and he finally gave birth to peace.
Chu Yi waved his hand to suppress Zhao Hongze, and his eyes fell on those stubborn family members, these family members obviously belonged to the elite carefully selected in the guard, although there were only dozens of people, the damage caused to Shi Kui's subordinates far exceeded those dead soldiers raised by the Hu clan.
However, soon, dozens of family members, including those few of Zhao Hongze's henchmen, were all killed on the spot, and the huge uncle's mansion was full of blood.
Glancing at the palatial Earl's Mansion, Chu Yi turned around and left, leaving Chu Fang in charge of confiscating the property of Uncle Wujing's Mansion.
When Zhao Hongze, who was extremely embarrassed, was escorted to the prisoner car, he didn't know how many eyes fell on Zhao Hongze, and when they saw Chu Yi who came out closely, many people couldn't help but shrink their eyes.
Previously, Chu Yi slaughtered the mob and wiped out the Hu family, and now even the dignified Uncle Ming was easily taken down by him, and for a while, many people were uneasy in their hearts, and they really felt the horror of Dongchang.
Although the reputation of Dongchang is spread all over the world, Dongchang generally rarely goes out of the land of Gyeonggi, let alone the land south of the Yangtze River, so these magnates and gentry in Nanjing City have never experienced the fear from the bones when the magnates in Beijing face Dongchang.
Today, Chu Yi's unscrupulous and taboo-free style of acting suddenly made them feel the horror of Dongchang.
Shi Kui, who was covered in blood, suddenly bowed down in front of Chu Yi and said solemnly: "Lord Qiqi, a total of seventy-eight family members of Wujing Bo Mansion have resisted with weapons, and they have all been killed, and sixty-three family members in the mansion have all been arrested!" ”
Immediately afterwards, everyone only saw that dozens of people from Wu Jingbo's mansion were escorted out one by one, and the most striking thing was the corpses of the family members who were carried out by the soldiers one by one.
Seeing this scene, many people couldn't help but feel cold, and when they looked at Chu Yi again, their eyes were already full of fear and fear.
Seeing Chu Yi glance around calmly, one turned over and got on his horse, and a team of soldiers followed Chu Yi closely.
Seeing Chu Yi leave this block, some people who were originally worried in their hearts suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Bamboo Forest Book Society
The most famous place among the literati in the land of Jiangnan, since decades ago, the literati of Jiangnan spontaneously organized such a book club, after decades of development, the Zhulin Book Society has become the most influential loose book club among the literati in the land of Jiangnan.
From the elder of the Zhishi Pavilion to the court officials, from the folk literati to the court scholars, anyone who can pass the approval of this book club can almost become a famous person in the south of the Yangtze River.
On this day, dozens of literati and even celebrities gathered in the elegant and chic Bamboo Forest Book Society.
One of the most eye-catching figures is Mr. Zheng, a famous man who had dealings with Hu Ding, the head of the Hu family.
Mr. Zheng was dressed in a plain robe, sitting cross-legged, elegant and graceful, and was looking at the literati around him with his beard stroked.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were falling on him, and he only heard Mr. Zheng say solemnly: "Everyone, just now, the eunuch Chu Yi led the army to break through the Wujingbo Mansion, killing dozens of servants, and dozens of people in the Wujingbo Mansion were taken away by him......"
"What ......"
"Oh my God, that's Uncle Wu Jing, how dare Chu Yi ......?"
With a bang, I saw a young scholar slap the coffee table and said: "Is there any royal law, that is a dignified uncle, he was actually taken down by a eunuch, and the Son of Heaven was so stupid that he was so ......"
"Yes, if the Son of Heaven continues to favor him, Chu Yi, Liu Jin and the like, my Ming Dynasty will fall into a place of no return......"
Suddenly, in the book club, dozens of literati were filled with righteous indignation, telling that the Son of Heaven had no way, and cursed Chu Yi and Liu Jin to be eunuchs.
It can be said that there are very few literati present who are from poor families, and almost eight CDs are from wealthy businessmen and wealthy families in Jiangnan, although there are also literati from poor families, but unfortunately very few people can enter their circle.
You don't need to look at it, but all those who scolded Chu Yi and Liu Jin were almost all those who damaged the interests of Liu Jin's governance in Jiangnan this time.
Liu Jin sent his servants to collect mining taxes and commercial taxes, isn't this cutting flesh and bloodletting on them?
A scholar dressed in a gorgeous costume gritted his teeth and said: "In just this month, dozens of shops in our family have been levied nearly 100 taels of tax silver, you must know that in the past, my father only paid 500 copper coins per month!" ”
"Our family's losses are even greater, our family's three iron mines, in the past, at most dozens of taels of tax silver per year, Liu Jin, who was killed by God, actually sent a tax supervisor to open his mouth is thousands of taels of tax silver, this is to force the people to rebel!"
A scholar from a family of military generals said: "At most, you pay some money, but my father is an official of thousands of households in the guard, and Liu Jin's old thief actually wants to check the land of the guard, and wants to take away the ten thousand acres of fertile land that our ancestors have saved for generations, unless it is Liu Jin who slaughters us!" ”
Just when these literati were indignant and told how much their losses were, several figures stood not far away.
The bamboo forest around the Bamboo Forest Book Society is verdant, delicate and pleasant, Chu Yi, Shi Kui and a few Dongchang stall leaders walked into this bamboo forest, standing in the distance, but they can clearly hear the high talk of these people.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Chu Yi's mouth, Da Ming really treats these people too well, in the huge Jiangnan, the commercial tax is only tens of thousands of taels, even so, these people still resist taxes at every turn.
Shi Kui glanced at the literati in the distance and said in a low voice: "Overseer, do you want to arrest people?" ”
Don't look at the fact that there are only dozens of people here, but at least dozens of large and small families are involved, Shi Kui is really a little worried, does Chu Yi dare to make up his mind to arrest these people?
Chu Yi smiled and said, "Let's take a look!" ”
The scholar in Chinese clothes just now looked at one of them and said, "Brother Liu, how is your grandfather Mr. Dongshan doing now?" ”
Liu An's eyes showed a little anger and said: "The ancestor of the family was called the three gentlemen together with Wang Shu and Ma Wensheng in the first emperor's dynasty, and he made great contributions to the country, but he was persecuted by Liu Jin and the thieves and degraded Suzhou, and the poor ancestor is more than seventy years old!" ”
Liu An's grandfather was one of the three famous gentlemen of the Hongzhi Dynasty, Liu Daxia, the secretary of the military department, and it is conceivable that the Liu family produced such a high-ranking official as Liu Daxia, and the Liu family naturally prospered.
Mr. Zheng said to Liu An: "Young Master Liu, does Mr. Dongshan have any way to deal with it?" ”
Liu An said in a low voice: "My Liu clan has more than a dozen sea ships going overseas to and fro, because of Liu Jin, a thief, my Liu family has lost tens of thousands of taels of silver in just a few months, and my ancestor has contacted his old friends, and he will definitely not sit back and watch Liu Jin bring disaster to the country and the people like this." ”
Many people couldn't help but show joy when they heard Liu An's words, and Mr. Zheng stroked his beard and said: "Mr. Dongshan is an important minister in the period of the first emperor, and his friendships are all over the court and the opposition, whether it is above the court or in the corporal forest of this world, with Mr. Dongshan taking the lead, he will definitely be able to take down the eunuchs Liu Jin, Chu Yi and others, so that the Son of Heaven will recall the tax supervisor and stop the delusion of taxation!" ”
Listening from afar, especially when he knew Liu An's identity, Chu Yi couldn't help but have a bright light in his eyes, he didn't expect to meet Liu Daxia's descendants here.
