Chapter 394: All Explained
This is the revenge of the murderer.
Originally, the Emperor of the Apocalypse thought that this was a natural disaster, and he had nothing to do with people. And now I know that this is the real man-made disaster.
It was not one or two people who caused this man-made disaster.
Rather, it is a chain of interests that involves the livelihood of tens of thousands of people.
What a horrible thing to do.
The essence of so many people involved in this is to constantly feed the Mongols and Jiannu, and then create a huge bandit group!
This bandit group continued to plunder and accumulate wealth through continuous plundering of the Ming Dynasty and even the slaughter of the people.
Eventually, they divided the spoils with the Mongol tribes and the Jiannu people, and they got the money, and the Mongols and the Jiannu people obtained a large number of slaves and land.
And these people have been raging for hundreds of years.
At this time, the national enemies and family hatred were entangled together, and the anger filled the heart of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
In fact, he may not have such hatred for Jiannu and the Mongols.
After all, these people are enemies in the first place, and they have been hostile from the beginning, either I subdue you or you kill me!
If you are not of my race, their hearts will be different, this is a matter of course, as the Son of Heaven, it is natural for me to kill you, and you launched an attack on my Ming Dynasty, although the contradiction is irresolvable, but there is nothing to say.
But Tian Shenglan and Wu Xiang are different, even if they are not Ming ministers and have no officials, they have also obtained the benefits given to them by the Ming Dynasty through various forms.
Whether it is prosperity or stability, it is their special power over ordinary people.
But for the sake of profit, they dare to do anything, and they do everything.
Tian Shenglan already felt fear at this time.
Now Wu Xiang has explained it clearly.
Tian Shenglan couldn't quibble anyway.
That's why......
Tian Shenglan said, "I'...... I'm willing to give ......."
The ministers looked at Tian Shenglan one by one, and it was inevitable that their hearts would drum up at this time, and the ghost knew who would be implicated at that time.
It can even be said that in order to do their business, these people are afraid that they will not be less around!
Of course, this is certainly not in the name of smuggling, in essence, these people have their own division of labor, some specialize in operating relationships in the capital, some infiltrate the army, and some specialize in smuggling...... Maybe these are the people who go to their house on weekdays and give themselves ice and charcoal.
That's why...... It's extremely unsettling!
Now that Tian Shenglan is willing to confess, the Emperor of the Apocalypse is about to ask.
Wei Zhongxian was vigilant, and then said: "Your Majesty, at this time, please ask the officials to retire temporarily, today...... They have also worked hard, not to mention that the ministries still have a lot of official duties. ”
When the Emperor of the Apocalypse heard this, he suddenly understood, and said: "Zhuqing retreat, Zhang Qing, Tian Ergeng, you stay." ”
The officials glanced at Tian Shenglan one by one, but they had to salute and say, "The ministers are leaving." ”
The ministers dispersed like a tide with apprehension.
The other eunuchs also retreated.
In this hall, only Wei Zhongxian, Tian Ergeng and Zhang Jingyi are left, and then Tian Shenglan is left.
Tian Shenglan knelt on the ground and remained silent.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse put his hands behind his back, looking very anxious.
He thought of his dead prince Zhu Cijiong, and the hatred in his heart was difficult to eliminate, so he took a deep breath and said, "Say it." ”
Tian Shenglan said: "There are eight people who do this business, in addition to me, there are Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Guest, Zhai Tang, Huang Yunfa and a few people......"
The Emperor of the Apocalypse snorted coldly: "It was you who colluded with Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, in the first place? ”
Tian Shenglan said: "Yes." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse said hatefully: "And then? ”
"After Huang Taiji was taken, we sensed the danger, so after the news reached Datong Mansion, we immediately began to discuss, thinking that ...... The matter ...... Most likely, we will be implicated. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but sneer angrily, "You guys have a very keen sense of smell. ”
"People who do business are the most careful about this."
The Emperor of the Apocalypse said coldly: "And then? ”
"Then our eight families decided to move north, first migrating the clansmen over, as for these transactions, for the time being, we will stand still, wait and see the direction of the wind, and wait until the news of Chengguogong's arrest comes out, we will immediately run out of the pass."
"Where are your possessions? Can you go away, and can you take your possessions with you? The Emperor of the Apocalypse sneered.
This matter, from the time the court noticed it to the time they ran away, it was only half a month at most, and if it was an ordinary family, if they wanted to relocate, of course, the time would be more than enough.
But how can people like them say that they can run?
"Fundamental...... There is no need to take your belongings with you. Tian Shenglan blushed, and continued: "You only need to ...... It's not in our name, and the silver that has been earned over the years is actually ...... are all stored under various names...... In addition to taking out a large amount of money for the Duke of Chengguo and the generals of Liaodong, as well as various manpower expenses...... These silvers ...... All in the name of others, whether it be land, gold or silver......"
All at once all the people in this temple understood.
Zhang Jingyi was also empowered.
At first.
Zhang Jingyi has been thinking, how did these people run, people ran away, but what about so many fields and gold and silver?
He has been a human being for two lifetimes, but he doesn't know how a person who does such a murderous business can put his wealth in his own name?
In fact, this matter is too simple to manipulate.
They just need to be in someone else's name, or......... With some people who don't exist at all, it is enough to put gold and silver, or land and property, real estate in the name of this person.
At present, the Ming Dynasty implements the yellow book system, but the management of household registration is already very chaotic.
For ordinary people, it is of course difficult to change their households, but for these people, it is just a simple matter.
Of course, their people can run, but their property is still in the Ming Dynasty, under the name of someone who only they know, and as for the gold, silver and jewelry, of course, they are also hidden in unknown places.
They only need to carry an urgent amount of gold and silver on their bodies, and wait until the future, when the limelight passes, and then find a way to enter the customs, naturally...... They could easily continue to spend their untold wealth.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Tian Shenglan deadly, and asked, "In that case, since you have already run away, why do you want to come back?" ”
"Had to come back." Tian Shenglan smiled bitterly: "This world is ...... Tens of thousands of people rely on this to eat, those Liao generals, and countless manpower, even including the Jiannu people and the Mongolian tribes, for the past hundred years, everyone has relied on this to eat and drink. Now, because of the matter of Chengguogong, we have run out, but everyone has lost their financial resources, and the Mongolian tribes and the Jiannu people have also lost a steady stream of gunpowder, medicinal materials, tea and pig iron, how can they easily let us go? Naturally, we are constantly urging us to start trading again immediately! Otherwise, even if we get out of the pass, those people ...... Will you really let us go? ”
This is Tian Shenglan's distress!
Stop?
At this point, although you have earned the wealth of a rich country, so many people rely on this to eat, do you say that you can stop it? Where can you run?
Even if you want to rely on a century-old family business to maintain countless wealth in the future, will others be willing?
The Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a cold face, "Go on." ”
Tian Shenglan said: "Under such urging, I discussed it with several other people, and I felt that it was not a way to go on like this, but...... Now the imperial court is strictly guarding against this, and there is no second Chengguo Duke to replace the court for the time being, and they want to continue to do business...... It must be removed...... Removal ......"
Needless to say, everyone understands what it is.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse widened his eyes with resentment, and said sternly, "Remove the stumbling block of me, right?" ”
Tian Shenglan said: "Yes, there is also the Marquis of Xinxian County...... As long as you take down Your Majesty and the new county marquis...... Once a son of heaven and a courtier, when that time comes...... In the capital, we can find some more people and cooperate with them to re-deliver goods outside the customs. ”
After a pause, he continued: "This time, Your Majesty went on patrol, which gave us an opportunity, as long as the matter is well planned, the matter can be resolved." Even the way out has been thought of, Li Ruzhen, a person with great ambition and talent, and incorrigible stupidity, can instigate him to act, and Wu Xiang, these generals, have received a lot of favors from us on weekdays, and after the matter is completed, they will arrange for him to quickly lead the troops out of the customs. Whether it is to Mongolia or to build slaves, we will make arrangements from it. As long as it happens, the capital is bound to fall into turmoil, and when that time comes...... We have enough money to buy people of weight to continue to work with us......"
The more the Emperor of the Apocalypse heard this, the more angry he became, and he sneered again and again, so he asked, "What about the other seven families?" ”
Tian Shenglan said truthfully: "They are still outside the gate, so they only let me come this time...... In fact...... Actually, I didn't want to come, I just ...... In this capital, there must be someone to sit in charge, and no one else can pretend to be others. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse squinted: "It's the eight of you who caused the explosion of Wang Gong's factory?" ”
Hearing this, Tian Shenglan looked up at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and at the sharp gaze of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Tian Shenglan involuntarily trembled, and then hurriedly said: "There are many people who act, but the eight of us ...... Many things were done through discussion, and it was indeed the final decision of the eight of us. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse took a deep breath, finally calmed down a little again, and then said, "Your family's wealth ...... Where is it hidden? ”
"This ...... This ......" asked this, Tian Shenglan was silent.
This is a century-old foundation!
How many bad things have you done to accumulate wealth......
To tell the truth, only he knows his own wealth, and he will never leak it to anyone, and now the Emperor of the Apocalypse asks, how can he answer?
