Chapter 530: Departure for Beijing
Thinking of this, Song Yu was in a cold sweat again, and the royal family was fighting, but now the retribution had come to them, somewhat unwillingly, and with the style of Lu Qingyi and Shen Xi, I don't know how they will torture them.
Song Yu suddenly raised his head and glared at Shen Xi and Lu Qingyi angrily, "Lu Gongzi, Miss Shen, I don't know if you really came here on the emperor's orders, but I also know that the grievances between you and the second prince, if you are to take revenge on the second prince and thus target us, we are not convinced, why should we be scapegoats!" ”
"If you are not convinced, you have to kneel down for me, and wait for disposal, if you didn't collude with the second prince and do those things that hurt heaven and reason, there would be no today's incident, and it was the second prince who took you as a scapegoat, not us." Shen Xi walked next to Song Yu and smiled coldly, his eyes were like ten thousand mountains.
The emperor also knew that most of the merchants in Huaiyang had collusion with Chang Wen, but there was no substantial evidence, plus Chang Wen's secret forces, they had not yet figured out the bottom and did not dare to act without permission, they were now in the stage of testing each other.
The three major forces in the DPRK and China, no one dares to do it easily, they are afraid of being used, and some people are taking advantage of the fisherman, so I don't know how long the three-legged situation will last, Shen Xi and Lu Qingyi have to find an excuse to destroy the secret forces of Chang Wen and the queen, and hollow them out little by little.
The 300,000 troops in the hands of General He are also a big threat.
Those merchants bowed their heads and remained silent, because they themselves knew that they had done a lot of evil, and Shen Xi and they had evidence in hand, no matter what Shen Xi and Lu Qingyi's purpose was, they had nowhere to justify.
"All property confiscation, and other punishments, shall be determined according to the severity of the crime, ranging from a fifty-five board to the cutting off of the right arm." Shen Xi swept the merchants who were kneeling on the ground, their bodies were trembling slightly, and their expressions were cold, "Do you have any objections?" ”
At this time, how dare they have any objections, for fear that if they say one more word, they will be killed directly, and death is the thing they fear the most.
And that Song Yu was directly imprisoned after being beaten with fifty boards, no matter how unconvinced he was, he could only spend his life in a prison cell.
After punishing these merchants, Shen Xi and Lu Qingyi also asked someone to forcibly take back those properties. All of a sudden, most of the merchants in Huaiyang have declined, they are all victims of the people, and the people on the street are happy to clap their hands when they know about it.
The land owned by the merchants was also distributed to the common people, leaving only one piece of land for their families.
These rich and noble families, where have they suffered from farming, and the family has declined for a while, they are naturally uncomfortable, especially Song Yu's wife, who is also in her forties, wearing brocade clothes, pointing at Shen Xi and Lu Qingyi and scolding, saying that they are arbitrary, tyrannical, and do not let them take away the property in the house.
Shen Xi only sneered at this, sure enough, it is not a family that does not enter the door, this Song Yu's wife is no different from him.
"Mrs. Song, shouldn't you care about Master Song, how is he in prison? You haven't been to see him since he was imprisoned yesterday, and now you're here, hindering us from carrying out our mission, Mrs. Song, you don't want to go in to accompany Master Song, right? ”
Song Yu has been imprisoned, but her mind is not on Song Yu, but on his property, Shen Xi can be regarded as knowing, what is called a catastrophe and flying separately.
"He has been arrested by you, this level is a lifetime, he doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking in that prison, but our mother and son still have to live, and now we can't protect ourselves, where do we still have the heart to worry about him." Mrs. Song's words are also very realistic, Song Yu and they can't count on them, but if all these properties and family wealth are confiscated, she and her son's livelihood will be very difficult. I love
"If you had stopped Master Song from colluding with others and doing those hurtful things early on, the Song family would not have fallen to this, and Mrs. Song, I don't know, your son is already more than twenty years old, is it possible that his livelihood still needs you to worry about? And we don't take the house, but also leave a piece of land, which is already benevolent and righteous. ”
Shen Xi's face was solemn, she knew that a person like Mrs. Song, who was used to living a good life, let her live a hard life all at once, she couldn't do it, she used to be dressed in brocade clothes and food, but from today onwards, she had to wear coarse linen clothes, eat vegetables and drink soup, which was a disaster for her.
So when Mrs. Song saw Shen Xi like this, she immediately cried and cried, knelt down towards Shen Xi and Lu Qingyi, "Miss Shen, please, at least leave us a little silver taels to do business!" I promise not to do that hurtful thing in the future, just do business honestly, and be able to support my family. ”
"Mrs. Song, I can't set this precedent, if I do this to you, how do you tell me to explain to other ladies?" Shen Xi stared at Mrs. Song and did not let go.
Everything today could have been avoided from happening, but they were greedy for profit, and they secretly killed many people, and even dared to rob the tax money they paid, how dare they do to do such a thing.
In the end, Shen Xi forcibly took away all the property of the Song Mansion, leaving only an empty house, Mrs. Song sat on the ground and scolded Song Yu loudly, saying that he had harmed the Song Mansion, but she didn't want to think that if she had stopped and advised her, it might not have evolved into what it is today.
Everything was settled, and after Shen Xi and Lu Qingyi counted all the property, they planned to transport it to Beijing tomorrow and hand it over to the emperor.
In the end, this is a large amount of silver, and it is a few days from Huaiyang to the capital, so in order to ensure that the silver two can enter Beijing safely, Lu Qingyi let Feng Sheng and Fu Chuan carry the silver two into Beijing in advance.
Lu Qingyi and Shen Xi will leave tomorrow.
Lin Fangming also handed over the amount of silver he received, and fully admitted his mistake to Lu Qingyi.
Early the next morning, Lu Qingyi and Shen Xi returned to Beijing with a few boxes of stones, and they were also attacked by many bandits along the way, as well as some assassins who assassinated them, and Lu Qingyi and Shen Xi also escaped death.
When Lu Qingfei and them arrived in the capital, Feng Sheng and Fu Chuan also arrived, and Chang Qing and Liu Congwen were even outside the city gate, waiting for them.
When Chang Qing saw Shen Xi, she was so happy that she ran up and hugged her, she hadn't seen her for almost a month, and she was about to die Shen Xi.
And Liu Congwen's face was very dignified.
Lu Qingyi's first time was to transport these silver taels into the palace and hand them over to the treasury, and this large amount of silver taels would be more dangerous a day if they were put in their hands.
The emperor praised Lu Qingyi's ability and speed constantly, and he also knew that Lu Qingyi could do it, because he was too excited, so the emperor coughed a few more times, and Lu Qingyi saw it and hurriedly stepped forward to check the emperor's pulse!
