Soon, the assassin was lifted up by the five flowers, he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, not saying a word.

The faces of the people in the tent were pale, and they all seemed to have not yet come out of the danger just now. Gaudi was especially sweaty.

Just now, he was thinking about how to blackmail Yangzhou officials and wealthy businessmen, how to intercede to save a few people, and cultivate cronies for himself, but he didn't expect that someone would assassinate him at this juncture.

It's okay now, the head work was robbed by Mo Dacheng.

Chongzhen was also a little afraid, if he hadn't been staring at these criminal officials, he unexpectedly saw that the person's movements were abnormal, and he had precautions in advance, he might not have been able to escape the assassination this time.

Since the crossing, Chongzhen has not felt that he has experienced too much danger, except for the attack in Jinzhou, he has always been safe.

I didn't expect to be attacked in the barracks today.

"Mortal capital offense~~"

Gao Di, together with the guards in the tent, civil and military, all bowed to the ground, everyone was in a cold sweat, it was too dangerous just now, if it weren't for the emperor's agility and dexterity, it would not have been a big deal. And each of them will die without a place to be buried.

"Get up."

Chongzhen was not angry, he knew that this matter could not be blamed on Jinyiwei, even if these people were negligent, now was not the time to deal with it, he looked at the assassin: "Who are you? Why stab? Is there a complicity?"

The assassin raised his chin and sneered, "If you don't have the skills to be captured, if you want to kill, you will kill, why bother asking?"

"Bold!"

Gao first scolded angrily, and then said to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, why bother to rap with him, take him down, torture him, don't believe him!"

Chongzhen ignored Gao Di, only looked at the assassin, and said calmly: "Assassinating me is a great crime to exterminate the nine clans, even if you don't say anything, I can find out your identity, and at that time, your people will have no escape, but if you can confess and say everything, I can spare them from dying, and you will not be too ashamed to meet your ancestors on the Huangquan Road."

But the assassin closed his eyes, and looked like he would never say a word with a thousand knives.

Chongzhen stared at him, "You can go down and think about what I said today. Don't doubt the ability of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, the imperial court will definitely be able to find out your origin!"

The assassin didn't seem to hear, still closing his eyes and sneering.

Chongzhen knew that this person could not be persuaded at a moment's notice, and that the matter was critical, and he could not afford to delay any longer, so he said, "Escort him down and keep him under strict guard to prevent him from killing himself. Don't torture him for the time being, I think he seems familiar."

Seeing the assassin being escorted down, Chongzhen glanced around and looked at the kneeling official without saying a word in disgust.

He said to Gao Di: "Send Jinyi Wei to raid the mansions of all officials in Yangzhou Mansion, all the houses and fields will be returned to the imperial court, all the gold and silver will be filled into the treasury, and the family members and servants will all be distributed to Liaodong!"

Gao Di had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and excitedly shouted to obey the order.

The brocade guards rushed up together, ready to tie up these officials.

All the officials inside and outside the military tent were like ashes, and they were slumped on the ground.

"Pass on the imperial doctor, treat Shi Kefa and Shi Dewei, and after healing his injuries, he will go to the imperial court with 24 people including Wu Eryi, Liu Zhaoji, He Gang, and Chen Yujie, and private property will not be confiscated for the time being."

Gao Di was stunned when he heard this, and the minister who had just confessed his guilt was also surprised, and the officials who did not dare to admit their guilt were even more shocked, and they regretted it one by one.

It's good now, the official is gone, and the property is gone......

"Don't spread the word about everything that happened today!" Chongzhen spoke again.

Everyone in the tent said in unison, "Yes."

……

On the same day, Gao Di gathered 500 brocade guards who came with the army, transferred 5,000 soldiers in the army for them to send, and ran to all parts of Yangzhou City viciously.

For a time, there were cries in Yangzhou City, and there was chaos.

Boxes and boxes of gold and silver were transported to the Yangzhou treasury, stone after stone of grain were gathered, and teams of criminal officials' families were tied with ropes, pulled out of the city, and sent to Liaodong on the same day.

Fortunately, Chongzhen ordered that it is strictly forbidden to abuse, beat and scold, and strictly prohibit not to eat.

The entire escort team is quite civilized and orderly. From a distance, uninformed people will not think that this is an escort prisoner, but an ordinary contingent of immigrants.

In order to prevent the soldiers from molesting and insulting the women, all the female dependents were guarded and escorted by the female soldiers formed by Zhou Yingluo.

As the team went farther and farther, the families of these criminal officials finally relieved their hearts, "The emperor is merciful and does not treat us as prisoners, and this treatment is basically similar to that of immigrants."

This situation is not only happening in Yangzhou City, but also outside the counties of Yangzhou and Huai'an Provinces, there are such northbound teams.

When the people saw that the officials and generals who were powerful and blessed were taken down by the emperor, they applauded one after another.

Seeing that the officials' families were escorted by civilization, he praised Emperor Chongzhen as the Ming army, and the Jingying renamed the Feilong Army was a teacher of benevolence and righteousness.

With the issuance of grain, farm tools and land deeds, the people finally relieved themselves, although the title deed is a ten-year term, but the title deed is clearly written, as long as you support the imperial court and do not be a female offender, you can unconditionally renew it after ten years.

At the same time, they were surprised to find that the imperial court had really exempted the three salaries, and at the same time exempted the land tax for ten years, and even the miscellaneous items such as salt tax were exempted for life, and they finally didn't need to worry about paying food and wages anymore!

With such a good policy, the people's will quickly settled.

However, some people are happy and some are sad. When the merchants learned of the introduction of the gold tax, the big salt merchants and the big tea merchants learned that the salt, iron, tea, sugar and other industries were nationalized, and they immediately began to scold their mothers.

Of course, they scolded in their own homes, and they didn't dare to spread a word.

With the establishment of the government-run yamen, a rumor quietly spread, "The imperial court will confiscate the private property of merchants, and with the implementation of the centigold tax, everyone will lose their jobs!"

……

Just as it was boiling outside, Chongzhen summoned the familiar assassin.

"When you see the emperor, don't kneel yet!" Mo Dacheng drank hard.

The assassin was unmoved, not even bothering to lift his head.

Mo Dacheng was about to reprimand, but Chongzhen waved his hand to stop him, "Dacheng, you go out, I'll talk to him alone for a while."

"Your Majesty, no, this assassin ......."

"Don't you know what I'm capable of? Let's go down."

Mo Dacheng looked at the assassin with his arms removed and shackles, nodded, and bowed back.

At this time, only this gentleman was left in the house.

"If I guessed correctly, you should be Yuan Chengzhi!"

The assassin's godless eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Chongzhen in front of him in surprise.

Seeing his appearance, Chongzhen confirmed his identity.

"If I remember correctly, you are Yuan Chonghuan's widow, your real name is Yuan Wenbi, and your current name is given to you by your master."

Yuan Chengzhi's eyes were even more surprised, and he didn't say a word.
