Chapter 352: Breaking the House

The trial of the three legal divisions is a formality, the beginning is fast and the end is faster, and the ten Jindi businessmen confessed to their crimes of selling contraband to the grassland and communicating with foreign countries.

During the interrogation, no one asked how the merchants were sold, let alone any other matters, and finally the ten merchants were sentenced to be executed!

On the morning of the third day of November in the second year of Jiajing, the three divisions were tried, and in the afternoon, 28 prisoners were escorted to the execution ground to be executed!

It can be said that since there were three divisions for trial, the efficiency of the government's handling of cases has not been so high......

It is worth mentioning that the Guozijian went to the execution ground from sacrificial wine to teaching, and of course they did not come to see Ma Shen off, but had to come, because the Son of Heaven ordered them to go to the execution ground.

Everyone knows why there is such an edict, but no one will break it.

The hot topic in the capital in recent days has also come to an end after more than 20 heads have landed, which seems to be a bit anticlimactic, and those officials who have ill intentions and expect the emperor to take advantage of the Jin Shang affair to open a big case are inevitably a little disappointed.

People are selfish, and for officials, it is normal for them to reap benefits, but what they are thinking about is how to increase their official ranks.

If the Son of Heaven sets off a big case this time, then it is impossible to say that a group of Beijing officials will die, and the vacated positions will be progressing layer by layer, so won't they have a chance to be promoted?

It's a pity that they were disappointed......

Obviously, this time the emperor does not plan to pursue the officials and generals, and I don't know whether he will pursue them in the future, because everyone knows that Jinshang likes to turn over old accounts, and this case is also a typical old account.

Maybe if the emperor wants to clean up any official in the future, he will take out a black book and ......

But that's for later......

The wind and waves in the capital gradually subsided, but at this time, the Marquis of Wuding, Yingde, Guangdong, thousands of miles away, was tense!

Three thousand soldiers besieged the Marquis of Wuding's mansion and couldn't get through!

On the wall of the Hou Mansion, there are two or three hundred guards of the palace, some of them holding strong bows, some of them holding crossbows, and some of them are holding muskets!

In the mansion, Guo Xun, the Marquis of Wuding, had a gloomy face, he knew that he had killed more than a hundred musketeers and robbed them of their firearms, and he couldn't hide the fact that Yan Song was seriously injured, and he didn't think that he could hide it.

Guo Xun also knew that his move had touched the emperor's scales, but there was no way, Yan Song wanted to take back the gold, silver and copper mines in his name, didn't this touch his scales!

You must know that these precious metal mines are the guarantee of the glory and wealth of the Houfu, and they are also the funds he made to the courtiers, how can they be lost in vain!

He did this to bet that the emperor would not do anything to him, because he knew very well that Emperor Jiajing's extension of his hand to the mine had already made the nobles all over the world and those gentry with mines in their hands unhappy, but no one made a bird.

No one did it to him, because he felt that even if he became the emperor, he would not do anything to him, and of course, in hindsight, the emperor could not make him feel better, because he hindered the mining administration was to cut off the emperor's means of making money.

The emperor certainly can't tolerate this, but what if he can't tolerate it? At most, he should make him compromise, because behind him stood all the classes that benefited from the mineral deposits, and the emperor dared to kill him, unless Jiajing was not afraid of the gentry and nobles of the whole world who would deviate from him and morality!

But Guo Xun never dreamed that the emperor would send 3,000 elite horsemen directly into Guangdong, and then brazenly rushed into Yingde to surround the Marquis of Wuding's mansion, and the eunuch who passed the decree passed on the decree turned out to be to arrest him and enter Beijing for trial!

Being tried is not a petition!

Although Guo Xun is impulsive, he is not a fool, how can he not know what this means?

Obviously, the emperor did not think about the consequences of offending the nobles and gentry all over the world, as long as he carried out his great policy, he would do whatever it took to get in the way of his mining policy!

As for whether Wuding Houzu is the founding father of the country, this point is not within Jiajing's consideration at all!

The commander of the three thousand elite musketeers to the south is Yan Zi, the deputy general of the third battalion of the Tiance Army, Yongwangwei was born and has superb martial arts, but in today's new army, martial arts are not the most important, the most important thing is marksmanship!

This time, Yan Zi was ordered to go south, and the goal was to enter Beijing with the whole mansion of the Marquis of Wuding, I thought that this matter was not challenging, but I didn't expect Guo Xun to be a hard bone!

This dog thief actually detained the eunuch who passed the decree, and put on a posture of resisting arrest by force, and he really didn't know how to write dead words.

Don't look at these Houfu family members who look like they are facing a great enemy, ready to defend Wuding Hou to the death, in the eyes of Yan Zi is just a group of local chickens and dogs, only one round is enough to settle the battle, if he can't even do this, then he Yan Zirium is not worthy of being the deputy general of the first battalion!

"How long is it!"

"It's less than two quarters until noon."

Yan Zi nodded, he gave Guo Xun time to think about it, and told the dog thief very clearly that he would surrender before noon, then he would escort him into Beijing with courtesy, as for how to judge him, it was a matter for the imperial court.

But if it doesn't come out after noon, it will be a burning jade, and you will be killed!

"Master Hou, there's still a quarter of an hour!" The housekeeper Guo Pan reminded worriedly.

Guo Xun's expression was uncertain, and now there were only two ways in front of him, surrender, die slowly, and resist...... It is estimated that they may not live until the sun sets.

Indeed, Guo Xun never felt that he could fight, it was impossible, in the battle of Dushikou, five thousand musketeers beat the Mongolian 50,000 elite horsemen like dogs, just one or two hundred family members in his mansion?

It is estimated that it is not enough to stuff people's teeth, and if you really resist, it is a rebellion!

Rebellion is tantamount to clan punishment, so there is really no turning back......

But let him be captured and then escorted to the capital to be slaughtered, he is unwilling!

Time passed minute by minute, and Guo Xun still couldn't make up his mind after all.

"Boom!" An earth-shattering explosion almost cracked Guo Xun's eardrums!

After this sound, there were continuous explosions, and in an instant, the courtyard wall of the Marquis of Wuding Mansion was blown out of a huge gap!

Outside, gunfire rang out, and dozens of soldiers approached the courtyard wall with a dozen huge long shields taller than a person, and then threw out explosive bags.

How could those housekeepers on the courtyard wall, whether they shoot with muskets or crossbows, penetrate the giant shield that is half a finger thick!

In fact, it is not accurate to say that it is a shield, to be precise, it is a thick iron plate, which is temporarily built, and the defense performance is first-class.

The fragile courtyard wall was torn apart almost instantly, and the family members who were originally guarding the courtyard wall were directly blown into corpses!

Then charge!

It's okay for the Houfu family to bully and bully the small people, counting on them to fight against the heavily armed elite soldiers?

What's the difference between that and putting your head under someone's gun......
