Chapter 35: Spit It Out for Me!
"The sinner doesn't know what the master of the horse means?"
"Tsk, don't go to the road."
Zhou Xianbai waved his hand boredly: "I specially greeted Yu Qianhu and asked him to serve you carefully." ”
"Otherwise, you're afraid you'll have to at least lose your arms and legs today, and you'll even have to ask Jinyiwei to notify your family to come and collect your body."
Hearing this, Zhao Hongxue's expression suddenly changed.
Hurriedly grateful: "Thank you for your leniency." ”
Zhou Xian's words are not false at all.
Because, since the beginning of Jinyiwei's establishment, few people who have come here have been able to go out soundly.
Before Zhou Xian did not conquer and reuse Xu Xianchun.
Just saying that Xu Xianchun, a butcher who kills people without frowning, is enough for Zhao Hongxue to eat several and urine in the crotch of his pants.
Therefore, now Zhao Hongxue still has a human form, all due to Zhou Xian's atmosphere.
Is it awesome? Awesome, right?
Zhou Xian plays with people's hearts, and he can play with applause.
Even a person like Zhao Hongxue has been hammered into this picture, and he must express his gratitude from the heart!!
"Zhao Aiqing, do you know why I came to see you?"
"Please also ask the master of the horse to make it clear."
"Quite simply, I've had your residence and mansion searched."
"A surprising fact was discovered."
Hearing Zhou Xian say this, Zhao Hongxue's eyebrows were shocked.
raised his head slightly and looked at Zhou Xian from the corner of his eye.
When he found that Zhou Xian was staring at him intently, Zhao Hongxue hurriedly retracted his eyes, hurriedly lowered his head, and remained silent.
Zhou Xiandao: "I didn't expect Zhao Aiqing to be a clean official!" ”
"I asked the Inspectorate to provide your information, as far as I know, Lord Zhao is a family with four walls, but your brother-in-law and members of the same clan are decent people with status among the people."
Zhao Hongxue raised his head: "Master Horse, what do you want?" ”
"No, your brother Zhao Dejiang is doing a prosperous salt mine business in Lianghuai, not only has 3,000 acres of fertile land under his name, but also private large estates, casinos, teahouses, brothels and so on......"
"I'm thinking, with such a huge family property, I'm afraid that the entire Jiangnan is about to be surnamed Zhao, right?"
Zhao Hongxue stared at Zhou Xian in horror.
True, he wavered.
Because it was his inheritance, and it was just left to his brother to take care of.
"Master Pony, are you going to cut my people?"
"He has nothing to do with the official."
"Besides, even if it is related, so what? The official just has a manor over there. ”
"Compared with the Manchu Dynasty Doctor, is the private property of this official excessive?"
"No, not too much." Zhou Xian nodded calmly.
If Zhao Hongxue is such a big official, he just has a mansion, it is really not too much.
Because now the scholars and doctors of the Ming Dynasty, under the overall planning of the Donglin Party, are unscrupulously making money in various places.
Emperor Chongzhen had publicly criticized such a phenomenon in the court before.
At that time, Qian Qianyi took the lead and defended himself.
The general idea is that an official must not only make decisions for the people, but also stabilize his own livelihood.
If all the officials starve to death and die of poverty, then who will call the shots for the common people?
Emperor Chongzhen listened violently.
Oh!
It seems to be really TM, TM makes sense......
So, the matter is gone.
It was from that moment that the Donglin Party praised Qian Qianyi as a spiritual leader.
Later, the civilian-government clique began to do business one by one, and went farther and deeper on the road of undertaking business......
Now Zhao Hongxue doesn't understand that he doesn't even care about Chongzhen's affairs.
How could he be so wide?
It's really disgusting!
But Zhou Xian should be so disgusting when dealing with corrupt officials.
He had just read the confession that Yu Jinshan had interrogated.
Combined with the evidence collection and search of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Jinyiwei.
Draw a conclusion.
That is, even if all the family properties of Zhao Hongxue's younger brother Zhao Dejiang were copied.
That's only three million taels of silver.
Converted into modern banknotes, it is more than three billion.
It is only one-tenth of Zhao Hongxue's corruption over the years.
The rest of the huge assets, the whereabouts of which are unknown.
That's why Zhou Xiancai came over to ask in person.
"Zhao Aiqing, you still seem to think you are very innocent?"
"I ...... Naturally, I pleaded guilty. Zhao Hongxue thought about it, and recalled in his mind the picture of Zhou Xian killing Qian Qianyi in the court.
felt that now that it was in the hands of Zhou Xian, it was inevitable that he would die, so he also became bold.
"But Master Ma, do you know that this Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and there are more corrupt people than me."
it!
Hearing this, Zhou Xian was startled, and his eyes lit up.
Grab a handful?
are all hidden bosses calculated by corruption of tens of billions or hundreds of billions?
That's a good feeling!
This Zhao Hongxue still has use value, and he can't be cut now.
"Zhao Aiqing, you continue!"
Zhou Xian urged.
"Hehe, okay. The horse master has the courage to go beyond our opinion of you. But can you really exterminate all the corrupt officials in the temple? ”
"If that's the case, the general's family grows bigger, who will help the king fight against the generals' group?"
"Here, you are now practicing the way of killing, above the court, after the death of Dr. Qian Qianyi, the people's hearts have long been separated, such political affairs, isn't Jiannu even more excited when he hears it?"
Yikes!
I have to say that Zhao Hongxue still has a bit of vision.
even understands that internal strife consumes the country's capital, but the more such people are, the more harmful it will be to the imperial court if they break the law.
Zhou Xian's face was calm, and his voice was cold: "Then let me ask you, can you fight against Jiannu and recover Liaodong?" ”
"Sinners can't do it." Zhao Hongxue answered this point very neatly.
"Then suppress the rebels and capture King Chuang, can you?"
"Sinner...... Can't do it. ”
"Send troops to North Korea and encircle Jiannu?"
"The sinner still can't do it."
"Then you can only be a civil official."
"But there is one thing I can't understand, you civil servants eat too much from time to time?"
"Since you can't do it without the abilities I just mentioned, why do you want to hinder the border army from resisting Jiannu? Why do you want to swallow so much food, grass and ordnance? ”
"Your salary at the bottom of the kettle has led to the tragic ending of the loss of my Ming border pass and the slaughter of the border army."
"So far, even if it is to destroy your ten clans, it is not too much."
"However, you still have a chance to deal with your people, that is, to take the silver that you have taken all these years that belong to the imperial court, and hand it over to me!"
That's right, from beginning to end, Zhou Xian has his own bottom line.
You can be greedy.
Don't think that if you are caught by the court, you will be done with a hard death.
Zhou Xian knows better than anyone else that even if Zhao Hongxue's nine clans are wiped out now.
What can change?
It can only deter those corrupt officials who are at large, and restrain them.
But Daming's situation no longer allows him to use the method of killing chickens and monkeys.
Today's daimyo is useless to kill all the officials.
They really have to spit out what they've eaten over the years.
