The prison of the Criminal Department.

Yin Shuo, the waiter of the Criminal Department, walked through the dark, damp and blood-smelling corridor of the cell, and stopped in front of a wide cell in the middle.

This prison is clean and tidy, but there is a strong smell in the room, there is no way, more than a dozen people are locked in a cell to eat, drink and lazar, if the smell is good, it is called a ghost.

Naturally, the eleven Jindi merchants were imprisoned in this cell, and that day Dongchang Fanzi rushed into the house, arrested them without saying a word, and then quickly sent them to the capital, and then they were imprisoned here.

Dongchang Fanzi must uphold the will of the emperor, even if the richest man in the Ming Dynasty is fragile in front of the power of the imperial power, it is no different from paper, they are all business leaders, the eleventh big merchants naturally know that they have come to an end, but what will they be convicted of, what will happen to their own family, why the emperor will suddenly attack them, the merchants do not know.

It is precisely because they know nothing that the merchants will carry a glimmer of hope in despair.

"Yin Shilang!" Hao Ming, a Jin merchant who looked decent but was extremely depressed, saw Yin Shuo and immediately threw himself on the side of the cell door and shouted, "Why does the emperor want to arrest us and other merchants, what is wrong with our family?" What is the Emperor going to do with us? ”

All the Jin merchants in the cell stood up one after another, looking at Yin Shuo with hope, they all knew that Yin Shuo was the backstage of the Hao family in the court, and now that they are here, they must be giving an answer.

Yin Shuo's face was gloomy, the eleven Jin merchants had been imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department for three days, but the reason why he came now was because he himself was worried that he would be implicated, and it could even be said that many ministers in the court would be implicated.

However, today he got the exact news that the emperor did not plan to set off a big case, otherwise the place where these Jin merchants were imprisoned would not be the Criminal Department, but should be the Dongchang Prison or the Jinyi Wei Prison!

This undoubtedly shows that the collusion between officialdom and Jin merchants has not yet touched the bottom line of Emperor Jiajing, and it is also a warning to officialdom not to expect to make a fuss about Jin merchants, otherwise an officialdom storm is inevitable!

The relieved officialdom was also completely speechless, the high-ranking Son of Heaven actually wiped out all the big businessmen in Jindi because of a mere prisoner, and it was really a little bit of chicken intestines, which really made people speechless.

But then again, as the saying goes, many acts of injustice will kill themselves, and the eleven Jin merchants who have fallen to the end of today cannot be regarded as deserved, but can only be regarded as self-inflicted.

The crime of Litong foreign countries is the sharpest ghost head knife, and the emperor also wants to borrow the heads of eleven Jin merchants to warn the merchants in the world and let them understand a truth.

You can make money for the sake of interests and conscience, and he can also turn a blind eye to the collusion between officials and businessmen, but if you want to harm the interests of the country and enrich yourself, then you are looking for death.

At the same time, it is also a warning to the officialdom that you can accept the filial piety of the merchants, but don't take the money you shouldn't take to shelter the people you shouldn't shelter, otherwise the next time you ......

"Selling contraband to the grassland is a great crime of rebellion!" Yin Shuo sighed.

The Jin merchants are stupid, in fact, everyone has been used to doing business with the grassland for so many years, and after the government and the door are bought, no one will care, but they forget that this is actually a knife hanging above their heads, and it will be natural if it doesn't fall, but once it lands, it will be a different place.

The sin of great rebellion, Ling Chi! Zhu clan!

The hearts of the merchants are like ashes, and they can't talk about regrets, because they haven't thought about regrets at all, and they should have the consciousness of death if they take the risk of the Zhu clan to do business with foreign countries.

"My lord, it's not a pity for me to die, but ...... But ......"

Yin Shuo sighed lightly: "In the past few days, we have been running up and down, trying to make your sins smaller, and the worst thing is that only a few of you can bear the price...... But the Son of Heaven acted extremely decisively, just like when he punished Yangzhou Salt Administration, he was thunderous and killed with one blow!

On the day you were arrested, your property was confiscated, and all the shops and properties under your name were seized and sold, and as for your people, ......"

The merchants are now like ashes, and they also know that their backers in the court are no longer reliable, and it can even be said that their backers themselves have been too busy to take care of themselves, where can they be protected.

Yin Shuo came to the prison of the Criminal Department at this time, obviously to warn them not to talk nonsense once the three divisions are interrogated, otherwise they may still be able to take care of their own people, otherwise, it is estimated that the jade will be burned.

"Your Majesty's original intention was to send all the relatives men to Qiongzhou, and the women to the Jiaofang Division, but after the hard persuasion of the cabinet elders, Your Majesty opened the net, and Your Majesty decided to re-send it, only Zhu'er and others and the children of the grassland tribes who traded with the steppe tribes, the shopkeepers, etc., the only exception was that Ma Shen, the son of the Ma Dong family, was also beheaded."

The eyes of the businessmen glared at Ma Dongjia one by one, originally the businessmen were just guessing, but now they are a real hammer, they are implicated by Ma Shen!

Ma Dongjia laughed miserably, and then turned his head and slammed into the prison wall, and his brain suddenly burst and he died.

No one sympathizes with the Ma Dong family, for the merchants, the surname Ma is just one step earlier, and they have to accompany this scum to the guillotine.

Ma Shen, who was in the opposite cell, saw his father die in front of him, and suddenly became angry and roared: "Faint king, if you want to kill Ma Shen, you will cut Ma Shen with a thousand knives, what is the difference between such an act and a tyrant!"

Yin Shuo looked coldly at Ma Shen, who was about to split, the reason why he didn't lock Ma Shen and the merchants together was because of him, and the Son of Heaven wanted to let the world know what the consequences of disobeying him were!

Then before going to the execution ground, Ma Shen can't have an accident, but if Ma Shen is locked up with the merchants, it is estimated that this guy can be beaten to death!

Now that Ma Dongjia died tragically in front of Ma Shen's eyes, it was obviously stimulated that he dared to say such disrespectful words, and it was estimated that Ling Chi would not be able to escape......

"You guys can do it for yourselves." Yin Shuo shook his head and turned away.

"Ma Shen, you are not worthy of being a son of man."

"You are a thief and a talent, you have read a belly of sage books, Brother Ma sent you to the Guozijian so that you can ascend to the Tianzi Hall, and you ...... And you actually imitated the puppet and dared to smash the imperial plaque! ”

"Who gave you the courage to implicate me and others now, are you happy?"

"Ma Shen, if the old man were you, he would have died in this prison at this moment and went with your father, you are not a son of man, a pig and a dog are not as good!"

"Pity my Wu family for generations in business, and finally have the current atmosphere, but it was completely ruined, Wu is sorry for the ancestors and ancestors, and what face does he have to live in the world." Wu Dongjia was about to hit the wall after speaking, but was stopped by the merchants.

Ma Shenxin died, but people can't die now, he knew that the Son of Heaven would use his death to give a warning to all those who dared to resist the king's prestige, if he dared to die now, his younger brothers and sisters would probably ......
