Chapter 569: When the Reckoning is in Progress

Jin Wangfu.

Officers and soldiers are escorting the thieves to various barracks in the city in an orderly manner.

The servants in the palace of the king of Jin, wiping the broom and dustpan, began to sweep and eradicate the stumps and broken arms in front of the main hall of the palace.

Buckets of clear water washed on the ground, splashing countless blood foams and tiny pieces of minced flesh and bones, which were washed by the water and carried into the surrounding ditches, and finally flowed into the culverts with the gushing flow of living water, until finally into the Fenshui outside the city of Taiyuan.

Zhu Jiye, the second son of the palace, was standing in the square with his hands and a knife hanging from his waist, looking at the busy crowd around him, his face was a little sad.

A good end of the Jin Palace, a small half of the area was invaded by anti-thieves, and countless palaces were destroyed.

It's just that these are nothing, but they cost more money and food to rebuild.

This time in Taiyuan City, many people have to be confiscated, and they can always fill these holes.

It's just that Zhu Jiye was a little uneasy, but after turning his head, the palace in front of him was guarded by many brocade guards.

At this time, on the steps in front of the palace, the previous military formation was no longer there, and the emperor's grandson and father, as well as those officials who were on the northern tour, had also left.

The officials still have more things to do, and under the escort of the officers and soldiers, they will temporarily take over the yamen of the Shanxi Province in Taiyuan City, and ensure that the Shanxi Road can still operate normally after dawn arrives tomorrow.

As for the cousin of the emperor's grandson, he had already entered the palace with his father and the king, and took Gao Ge Lao and others.

After tonight, the situation in Shanxi Road will be turned upside down. And everything will be decided in the hall in front of you.

A different Shanxi road.

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Jiye's mouth.

Inside the temple.

Zhu Yunxi had already put the long knife that had been fighting all night into the scabbard, hanging it on his waist, and the palm of his left hand was against the hilt.

By his side, there were Zhu Li, the king of Jin, Gao Yangzhi, a cabinet minister, and Wang Xinling, Tian Mai, Sun Cheng, Ma Hongqing and others.

The Shanxi Provincial officials who were detained in the hall were already kneeling in front of Zhu Yunxi.

Not far away, under a thick pillar in the corner, Liu Liang, the commander of Shanxi Province, was tied up with five flowers and fainted and leaned on the pillar.

Although the people in the palace could not get a glimpse of the movements outside, from the very beginning when the thieves killed in front of the palace, until the thieves in the city entered the Jin Palace, the sound of fighting had already disappeared.

But Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Li and others appeared in front of people intact.

Outside the temple, what the hell is going on.

Everyone knows it.

The rebellion of the thieves has been suppressed.

"Your Highness! The minister is wronged, the minister doesn't know anything, the minister doesn't do anything. ”

"It's the eldest grandson who pays them! It's them! Your Highness, it was they who coerced the ministers to do things, and they forced them, and the ministers didn't dare to disobey. ”

"The ministers have accounts, all of which are what these elder Sun Gong forced the ministers to do, and the benefits that the ministers got from them."

"The minister has it too! The silver that the minister has gotten over the years doesn't dare to spend a penny! And all the money was hidden in the prince's house, in the cellar. It's useless for the minister, so the minister will take it out now. ”

“……”

Without waiting for Zhu Yunxi to speak, the Shanxi Provincial officials in the hall launched to save themselves.

Without exception, except for those officials who had not been involved in the affairs of Changsun Gong and others, they claimed to know nothing. Almost all the officials present put the blame on Changsun Gong and others.

Pushed on the body of a dead man.

Zhu Li and Gao Yangzhi tilted their heads and looked sideways, quietly staring at Zhu Yunxi, who had not yet spoken, waiting for the imperial grandson who held the power of the empire to make a decision.

Zhu Yunxi squinted his eyes and looked at the Shanxi Provincial officials in front of him.

What happened in Shanxi Province this time is very different from the previous rebellion in Henan Province.

The rebellion that occurred in Henan Province at the beginning was caused by the local gentry class, who were dissatisfied with the reform policies of the imperial court and hurt their inherent interests, so it led to the chaos in Henan Province.

Shanxi Province is different, because of the special reasons of Shanxi Province, almost none of the wealthy families here have benefited from land, and it is precisely because of the topography of Shanxi Province that these merchants are prevalent.

People get rich by doing business.

Although the imperial court now attaches great importance to commercial taxes, in many places, commercial taxes even exceed the amount of summer and autumn taxes.

But the merchants are not unprofitable.

The rebellion in Shanxi Province this time was all caused by the selfishness of these people.

Because of the immortal thief of the White Lotus Sect, because of the greed of the Jin merchants who tried to control the government, and because of the ambition of the Shanxi Provincial officials to build the country of China.

"Check, if there are lawbreakers, punish! The three clans are assigned to Yingzhou! ”

Zhu Yunxi did not hesitate too much, and soon decided the fate and future of Shanxi Provincial officials.

With the practice of the public examination law in Yingtian City, the last thing the imperial court is afraid of now is that there is no one to be an official.

As soon as the public examination opened, it was really the world's talented people who entered the Daming urn.

After the spring of the New Year, the imperial court will open the examination again, and now it is to empty the officialdom of Shanxi Province, and as soon as the spring of the next year begins, the imperial court will be able to fill these official vacancies one by one.

Sun Cheng had already received the order.

As the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town, Sun Cheng now does not need to do things by himself in many cases.

He's just a look.

Zhang Hui, the official of the hundred households of Jinyi Wei, who had quietly arrived here, had already walked to the Shanxi Provincial officials present with a cold face.

"Take it!"

Zhang Hui spoke coldly.

In the past few days after leaving Beijing, dealing with Zhu Yunwen's idiot every day has long made Zhang Hui suffocated.

Now that he can return to his old profession, Zhang Hui can't help but have a little more expectations in his heart.

I only hope that these Shanxi officials in front of me can be as hard as the people of Shanxi, and their bones can be harder.

Jin Yiwei held up a famous Shanxi Provincial official.

A flying fish suit shuttled through the hall.

After a while, people can already smell a fishy stench in their noses.

Zhu Yunxi frowned slightly, and walked lightly to Liu Liang, the commander of the Shanxi Provincial Command, who was still leaning on the red lacquer pillar.

He looked down at Liu Liang, who was still fainting.

Not far from his side, the short knife that stabbed Zhou Yunkun, Guo Yuchuang, and Changsun Gong to death successively was lying on the side covered with blood.

"Wake up."

Zhu Yunxi spoke in a low voice.

Tian Mai, who had been following him, immediately stepped forward.

Tian Mai rolled up his sleeves slowly, raised his hand and slowly turned his wrist.

Syllable.

There was a crunch.

emanating from Liu Liang's face.

Tian Mai had already lowered his sleeves and straightened up.

And Liu Liang, who was slapped in the face, was already immediately red and swollen.

Liu Liang, who was still in a fainting, also slowly opened his eyes.

Liu Liang blinked, his gaze a little sloppy.

The pain in his body also made him writhe involuntarily.

When he looked up.

Liu Liangtong Kong Meng contracted, and hurriedly crawled on the ground.

He first raised his head and glanced at Zhu Yunxi, who was standing quietly in front of him, and then immediately lowered his head.

"Your Highness, the minister has already killed the traitorous thief Changsun Gong, Zhou Yunkun, and Guo Yuchuang for you! There are also three other people who have evidence of illegal crimes in the past, and they have privately colluded with Shanxi Daojin merchants to convey the accounts of interests over the years! ”

Zhu Yunxi sneered: "You are in a hurry." ”

Liu Liang opened his mouth, and his forehead was already on the ground: "The minister doesn't dare, this is the duty of the minister." ”

Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly.

"Liu Junmen, do you think that this will be able to offset the merits? Or do you feel that if you kill the eldest grandson and them today, you have made a contribution to the imperial court? ”

Liu Liang reacted, his face was blank, and his eyes raised his head in fear.

"Your Highness......"

"Slash!"

Zhu Yunxi didn't give Liu Liang more chances, dropped a sentence coldly, and turned around.

On Liu Liang's side, the two brocade guards were already ready to go, and as soon as Zhu Yunxi's words fell, the two of them were already tiger pounced to detain Liu Liang.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! ”

"The guilty minister asks His Highness for forgiveness......"

"Your Highness!"

Liu Liang kept wailing.

A chopping word, Liu Liang's head can still be hung around his neck, and there is not much time.

"The chief official of the three divisions of Shanxi Province and the political envoy Guo Yuchuang, within the three clans, will be punished!"

Zhu Yunxi, who had already walked to the gate of the palace, had a cold voice that penetrated Liu Liang's ears again.

Liu Liangmeng, who was hanging his head, raised his head, his eyes widened, but Tong Kong was constantly scattered.

"Ah......h

In the hall, Liu Liang wailed.

It's just that no one will pay attention to this commander who was in charge of Shanxi's soldiers and horses in the past.

Outside the temple.

Zhu Yunxi's hands were clasped together, hidden in his sleeves, and his neck was shrunk.

"It's cold."

He muttered in a low voice, and small snowflakes drifted in the night sky in his sight again.

Zhu Li clasped his hands and walked to his side with a smile: "After this snow, Shanxi Road and even the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty will be truly solid." ”

Zhu Yunxi opened his arms at this time and let the wind and snow outside blow towards him.

"Then before the snow falls, the people and things that should be liquidated will be liquidated!"

Zhu Li looked sideways at this nephew who was destined to inherit the Zhu family's Daming, and smiled: "You have to compensate me for a new Jin Palace." ”

"How about a nephew build a city on the grassland for the third uncle?"

“…… In the future, you have to pay for your third uncle's journey home! ”

"Okay."

"That's good."

……

"This is the Li Mansion Compound, it's really rich."

"Looking at the courtyard and the withered beams and paintings, even the businessmen in Suzhou and Hangzhou would not dare to make such a style."

When the rebellion inside and outside the Jin Palace, the liquidation in Taiyuan City had already begun.

The Jinyi Wei Baihu, who led the team, stared at the Li Mansion compound with a closed door in front of him, and his tone was ridiculous.

Behind him was a team of brocade-clothed guards, as well as a large number of soldiers and horses of the Beijing army.

"Baihu, let's start, otherwise we won't be able to catch up with tomorrow morning's dinner."

The chief flag officer reminded in a whisper.

Baihu Guan nodded, his eyes sank, he bowed slightly, and pressed his right hand forward.

"Break the door!"

With his order, the officers and soldiers who had been prepared a long time ago immediately began to trot down the street outside the Li Mansion compound with the wooden pillars that had been removed from somewhere.

The speed of the officers and soldiers continued to increase, stepped up the steps, and rushed to the door of the Li Mansion compound.

The stake slammed against the door with a heavy thud.

The whole gatehouse was shaking.

The officers and men continued to force and began to pound the gate one after another.

Finally.

With a sound that seemed to be a whimper, the door of the Li Mansion compound collapsed backwards.

"Kill!"

"Whoever is a thief here, don't be killed!"

"Military Sima records military exploits, and no one is allowed to hide stolen goods without authorization."

The officials of the Jinyi Guard kept issuing military orders.

On either side of him, groups of soldiers and horses drew their swords and rushed into the Li Mansion compound.

With a sneer on his face, the Baihu official glanced back at the chief flag officer.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Everyone is a warrior, and they only know how to faithfully fulfill the military orders of the peak.

But because everyone is a warrior, the military order received is naturally the most important thing to do.

If there is any resistance that can be killed, it is natural that you will not see it.

But the anti-thief can't stay, but it's everyone's consensus.

lest the court detain too many people at that time, and have to increase the cost of money and food.

Naturally, the officers and men were happy to do so.

A human head is a first-class military merit.

The more heads are cut off, the more military exploits he has, and the closer he is to the king.

Even if you can't be a prince, you can at least be promoted to a few levels of official positions.

The officers and soldiers slaughtered into the Li Mansion compound like wolves.

As early as the beginning of the incident, the Li family arranged a large number of guards in the mansion.

As the officers and soldiers rushed in, the two sides suddenly fought.

On a high-rise building in the backyard of the Li Mansion.

Li Wenxiang's face was miserable, and Li Bengan, who was beside him, was also like ashes.

The chief butler and the leader of the guards stood behind the two with anxious expressions.

"Master, let's go! Go through the back door, hide first, and when the limelight is over, we can escape from Taiyuan City. ”

The chief butler reminded in an impatient tone.

Li Wenxiang kept sighing.

The movement of the Jin Wangfu in the distance was always in his sight.

Where did those imperial court soldiers and horses come from, and it is still hovering in his heart.

The Li family spent nearly 30 years of operation and arrangement, and everything was empty tonight.

The Li family survived the chaotic times of the former Yuan Dynasty, and also escaped the turmoil at the beginning of the country, and the entire Li family went up and down to go south and north to build a hard work, but it was disappearing bit by bit in front of Li Wenxiang's eyes.

The steward looked at Li Wenxiang, who was silent and unresponsive, and his heart became more and more anxious.

He looked at Li Bengan and shouted, "Big Prince! Let's go quickly, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court have already rushed into the mansion, and it will be too late if we don't leave. ”

Li Bengan was a little dazed at the moment.

Before nightfall, he was still fantasizing that he might be able to wear Zhu Yunxi's outfit.

In order to protect himself, he and his father even left the scene hastily and went home early after the banquet in the Jin Palace.

In order to avoid the disaster of war.

But now, it has not been saved.

The steward looked at the father and son in front of him, gritted his teeth and looked back at the head of the guards in the house.

"Take the master and the eldest prince away!"

The steward roared, and immediately stepped forward and dragged Li Wenxiang from behind, and walked downstairs.

The leader of the guards also set up Li Bengan and followed behind.

Downstairs, there was already a team of diehard guards of the Li family waiting for a long time.

Seeing the steward and the leader coming down with the lord and the eldest prince, everyone immediately surrounded the two and rushed to the back door of the Li Mansion.

The sound of the officers and soldiers rushing into the mansion in the front mansion continued to reach everyone's ears, making everyone tremble and panic.

Li Wenxiang and Li Bengan, father and son, were taken all the way to the back door by the steward and guards.

At this moment, the father and son of the Li family have also regained their senses.

looked at the quiet back door, and finally showed a hint of joy on his face.

The back door was opened.

The steward of the Li family and the leader of the guards, who were walking in front, trembled all over his body and kept retreating.

Outside the door.

A team of brocade-clothed guards were staring coldly at these people who wanted to escape from the Li Mansion.

A Jinyi Wei chief flag officer who led the team had a cold gaze, waved his hand casually, and his tone was cold.

"Our department has encountered resistance from thieves."

"Obey the order, shoot and kill!"

On both sides of it, many Jinyi guards who had been waiting for a long time immediately rushed in with embroidered spring knives.

"Kill!"

It was just a rush, and the back door of the Li family's mansion once again regained calm.

It's just that Taiyuan City is destined to be impossible to calm down tonight.

Liquidation, still going on.
