On the street, the breeze blows up the dust, the sky is dreary, and it looks like it is going to rain again.

The sky was dark, the wind gradually rose, and after a while, the raindrops with the cold of early spring fell sparsely, the water was steaming, the smoke was filled, and there was no one to be seen on the street.

The thieves hit the outside of Beijing, and now the city of Beijing is already stormy, after nightfall, the streets are already rare, at this time, walking on the street at will, it is likely that they will be imprisoned by the city defense army.

A few figures, under the cover of night and rain, walked through the dark corners of the street, quickly approaching a mansion in the north of the city.

This mansion covers an area of thousands of acres and is the famous Jiading Bo Mansion.

Jia Dingbo, surnamed Zhou Mingkui, is the old man of today's son.

It can be said that Chongzhen treated Zhou Kui well, named Zhou Kui as Jiadingbo, served as the Soldiers and Horses, "gave the first place in Suzhou Fengmen", owned a large number of fields and houses, and even supported a kabuki troupe for a long time.

However, two days ago, Chongzhen asked the Manchu civil and military officials to donate money to fight, and all the civil and military officials shirked it with shyness. Chongzhen originally wanted Zhou Kui to take the lead, so he sent the eunuch Xu Gao to inform Zhou Kui and let him take the lead in donating 100,000 taels of silver.

Chongzhen thought that Zhou Kui was the national ruler and shared weal and woe with the royal interests of the Ming Dynasty. What he never expected was that Zhou Kui cried like a mourner when he heard it, saying "Lao Chen An has a lot of money?", and said that his family was so poor that he could only buy moldy rice to eat, and he insisted that he could only donate 10,000 taels. Chongzhen is a soft-hearted person, reduced to 20,000. Seeing that he couldn't hide, Zhou Kui entered the palace to ask his daughter for help. Empress Zhou immediately took out 5,000 silver and persuaded her father to understand the righteousness, set an example for the ministers, and save the Ming Dynasty. Who knows, Zhou Kui did something even more bizarre, he actually plucked the goose, only donated 3,000 taels, and he also took the opportunity to deduct 2,000 taels.

Later, Li Zicheng broke through the city of Beijing. Zhou Kui, the national abbot, couldn't help but be tortured, and was copied out of countless treasures by the breaking army, pulling dozens of carts, and the cash alone was enough to 530,000 taels.

"Biography of Relatives in the History of the Ming Dynasty": "Zhou Kui, a native of Suzhou, is also the father of Emperor Zhuanglie and Empress Zhou. .... , Kuiju is among his relatives, just busy. Li Zicheng forced the Beijing division, and the emperor sent his servant Xu Gaomi to Kui Xianxun Qi to lose his salary, and Kui Jian thanked him. Gao cried indignantly: "My stepfather is like this, and the state affairs are gone.... and became a trap in Beijing, plundering his family to get tens of thousands of gold, people think it is a foolish cloud of laughing Kui. ”

Chongzhen thought that his father-in-law was indeed honest and had no money, and he could exchange the history of Ming from the system, but when he saw this sentence, he laughed angrily, and tears came out. Even his own father-in-law is like this, and others can imagine.

Chongzhen was originally a soft-hearted person, if he hadn't gotten the ending of the Ming Dynasty from the system and seen the history of the Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid, it would be difficult to make up his mind to clean the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

However, what was recorded in the history of the Ming Dynasty really made Chongzhen extremely angry. If you want the Ming Dynasty to not die, you must squeeze out the wealth from the mouths of this group of moths, these are the people's fat and people's ointment of the Ming Dynasty.

This time, Chongzhen wants to purge not only civil and military officials, but also the emperor's relatives and relatives. Guozhang was the first target of the operation. Chongzhen wants to show his determination to the people of the world in this way.

In Jiadingbo's mansion, the lights are bright, and the sound of singing and dancing is faintly heard.

Jiadingbo does not seem to have been affected by the war, and still sings and enjoys it day and night.

"In ancient times, there were businesswomen who didn't know the hatred of the country, and they still sang the backyard flowers across the river. Today, there is a national abbot looking for joy and singing at night, without mentioning money and food. Even His Majesty is frugal, and even the Queen Mother wears patched clothes, but these bastards are singing and having fun every night!"

"These princes and nobles, Qingliu ministers, which one is not so rich? Looking for fun, looking for a famous prostitute for a glass of wine is a few thousand taels of silver, the day before yesterday, His Majesty the Emperor called for donations, but these bastards can't even take out a few hundred taels of silver. ”

"You see, there is a notice posted at the door of our Guozhang Mansion, in order to respond to His Majesty's donation, I am willing to sell the mansion at a cheap price of 500 taels! I knew that Lao Tzu would not donate the 500 taels that he had saved all his life, and if he bought the Guozhang Mansion, he would be able to listen to small songs every day. ”

"Don't fall into the hands of Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu hasn't been tortured for so long, his hands are already itching!"

"Hehe......"

Several of them chuckled, their tones full of mockery.

"Alright, no more nonsense!

A voice came from behind several people, and in an instant, a figure appeared. It is Luo Yang's nature.

"See the Commander!"

These people turned out to be good hands of Jinyiwei and Luo Yang's cronies. After Luo Yangxing was imprisoned in the prison, they were also excluded by the new commander, and during this time, they have been running outside to help Luo Yangxing, wanting to save Luo Yangxing.

There are many such people under Luo Yangxing, and they have all been scattered out in the night just now. Just wait for Luo Yangxing to give an order, and he will do it.

And Luo Yangxing came here because Zhou Kui's identity is not ordinary, he came with Chongzhen's holy decree to take Zhou Kui and fire the first shot tonight.

"Let's go, let's go meet the countryman. ”

Luo Yang sneered and took the lead, followed by the others.

When he arrived at the door, the porter had already woken up, and was about to ask questions, when a brocade guard had already stepped forward and knocked him unconscious with a knife.

A few people pushed the door in a big way, but they didn't encounter the slightest obstruction.

As Jinyi guards, they are familiar with the entire city of Beijing, and the homes of these officials are more familiar than their own.

The group walked through several courtyards and had already come to the back garden. Out of Zhou Kui, there are still a few ministers, the Ministry of Rites, and college students. The Ming Dynasty has a law, and relatives are not allowed to participate in court politics, but Zhou Kui blatantly invited the ministers of the DPRK and China, which can be said to be unscrupulous.

There is a stage in front of the garden, and a group of famous singers are singing, singing the story of Liu Beituo's Lonely White Emperor City.

It's just that I don't know, do Zhou Kui, these old guys, regard themselves as Zhuge Liang, or do they want Chongzhen to be alone?

"Damn, the soldiers outside are miserable, but these bastards are drinking and having fun here. One of them was hot-tempered and immediately scolded, kicked a chair away, and smashed it on the stage, frightening a group of actors.

"Which bastard?" Zhou Kui was furious.

The other ministers turned their heads with displeasure on their faces, and when they saw the comer, they were all stunned, and then their faces became suspicious.

"Luo Yangxing!" One of them couldn't help but exclaim, his face was shocked, it seemed that he was also a person who had suffered in the hands of Luo Yangxing back then.

Luo Yangxing smiled, stepped forward unhurriedly, picked up a glass of wine from the tray in the hand of a maid, took a sip, and said with a little intoxication: "It's really good wine." At least thirty or fifty years old, this jar of wine is probably worth thousands of taels of silver. Right now, Your Majesty is thrifty in food and clothing, but your lordships are accompanied by beautiful people with good wine and beautiful people, won't your conscience feel guilty?"
