Chapter 773: All Catch? No, kill them all.
After returning to the official sequence of the imperial court, Liu Jin was able to access a lot of information.
For example, the emperor's practice in Shandong, such as the person named Zhang Xuan......
For example, the imperial court sent a squire from the criminal department to investigate the case, for example, thousands of surveyors were trained in advance for Qingtian measurement.
The emperor's various arrangements floated in his mind, very strange and familiar, and he himself looked back on the past here.
As everyone knows, Jing Shaokui and these officials are actually afraid of him a lot.
Especially when I heard that more than 20 corpses were thrown out of the palace last night.
"As soon as the talent arrived, most of the chief eunuchs of the original twenty-four yamen were killed alive!!" Xu Yun felt chilled when he said this, "It is said that this Gonggong Liu has watched the whole process, he finally got some forgiveness from the emperor, how dare he act so arrogantly?" ”
Jing Shaokui frowned and said: "When you do things by the emperor's side, you know the emperor very well. Do you think the emperor didn't know that such a thing would happen? ”
This principle is somewhat similar to a son of heaven and a courtier.
Since the emperor is willing to move out of You Di's old rivals, he is giving up these people who were originally attached to You Di.
What could they be if they weren't a dead word?
"Having said that, if I want to change the fact that I have just seen the light of day, I must be shrinking my tail, this father-in-law Liu is so ......"
"Don't talk about it, you and I don't care about things like the eunuchs fighting each other, let's see what he wants to do with him later."
Liu Jin has a lot of suppressed desires, killing and revenge is one of them, he doesn't feel cruel, it's not his person, of course he wants to kill.
And his other desire......
I just want to meet the emperor.
……
……
"The garrison in Nanjing has a high level of responsibility, since the emperor has appointed Gonggong Liu, there must be a holy order, and I ask Gonggong Liu to make it clear."
In the governor's yamen, Jing Shaokui said politely.
It stands to reason that he should visit Liu Jin.
But Liu Jin's reputation is too bad, and it is estimated that very few civil officials are willing to take the initiative to visit him at this time.
"Our family doesn't have any holy orders, just one, our family is a person in the palace, and we only listen to the will of the palace. So this should be our family asking you, what is the emperor's holy order, and how is it done? ”
"Presumably Gonggong Liu knows about the acres of land in the world, and in the second half of last month, the holy decree has arrived."
Liu Jin saw that he didn't talk much nonsense, and his heart was a little less anxious, "Then I'll tell the truth." Zhongcheng, before I came, I had ordered someone to clean up the land occupied by the eunuchs, and if I met a disobedient person under me, I would kill one. ”
Jing Shaokui's heart tightened, "Wei Guogong's side...... I also went to Chong Sui Gong (Jin Gui), and his field also began to measure. ”
In this way, honors and eunuchs are no longer a problem.
Although Wei Guogong could not represent all the nobles in Nanjing City, he was all subdued, and the others were either obedient or cleaned up, even if there was a little trouble, it was not a big problem.
"The trouble now is that the people and gentry of nearly 100 counties in the south of the Yangtze River are using various ways to obstruct the surveyors from actually carrying out the Qingzhang. Therefore, the effect everywhere is not ideal. ”
Liu Jin blinked his eyes and said quietly: "Zhongcheng, after this year, our family will be sixty." ”
Jing Shaokui didn't understand what it meant to suddenly say this.
"My father-in-law is still young."
"This is a reassuring lie, these gray hairs in our family are not fake." He stretched out his hand and took a handful, of which the black silk is already a minority, "In the past few years, my body has suffered from losses, leg pain on rainy days, back pain after standing and sitting for a long time, and headaches that I can't sleep well, and our family doesn't have a few years to live." ”
This sigh, if an ordinary old man said it, it would make people feel pity, but Liu Jin would definitely not.
"A rootless person will not have any thoughts at the age of our family, no children and no daughters, and there will not be a Jing clan in his heart like you, if a person like us dies, he will be a lonely ghost in heaven and earth, even if he is mentioned, he will scold our family."
"Father-in-law......" Jing Shaokui was a little confused.
Liu Jin grabbed the words, "Zhongcheng, our family wants to see the emperor and take care of these things for the emperor." As for...... You said that those who obstruct us, our family doesn't care. The emperor said to our family that he would go back to the palace after finishing the affairs of Jiangnan. Zhongcheng, you have to do this. ”
"Where is the father-in-law. Where would the lower officials disobey the emperor's holy order? ”
Jing Shaokui was completely surprised, he thought it was an illusion, what he saw, the kind of emotion on the face of an old traitor, he still had feelings!
Liu Jin did feel a kind of loneliness, he was not familiar with this place in Nanjing, but the scenes in that palace were too similar...... He would think of the time when the emperor was young, and how he served the crown prince until he succeeded to the throne.
Except that at the political level, he needs to grasp the straw of the emperor, after all, he is still a lonely old man, and his emotions are nowhere to go except for the emperor who has been with him for many years.
So he is willing to settle everyone here for the emperor.
"Since it is according to the emperor's order, then you and I will discuss the matter clearly, which prefecture, which county, and which people are obstructing the surveyor's field measurement?"
Jing Shaokui didn't want to be annoyed, why did he stand up to Liu Jin's anger here, "Let's tell my father-in-law the truth, from Nanjing to Zhenjiang Mansion, Changzhou Mansion, Suzhou Mansion, and Songjiang Mansion, all the way through, there are opponents in almost all counties and counties, they either gather in groups, incite the people, or attack the surveyors, making it difficult to protect themselves." All of them have been reported to the imperial court. ”
Liu Jin didn't talk nonsense with him, "How has the investigation progressed so far?" Who is leading the opposition? ”
"There are different people in different places, there is a person named Zhao Mingfei in Jiangning, the three Chen brothers in Changzhou Mansion are the head, and the people in Zhenjiang Mansion and Suzhou Mansion are protesting."
How could Liu Jin not know the concerns of these people, who were afraid of wolves and tigers, but the result was that the means were soft, and things did not progress at all.
"Got it."
The power eunuch is in trouble, because they are both close to the emperor and have part of the armed forces.
The garrison in Nanjing can mobilize the seventeen guards of the Son of Heaven who stayed in the capital! Secretly there is a promise from the Son of Heaven, Liu Jin has no worries, and now he knows the name of the person, so what else is there to say?
After his palanquin left the governor's yamen, there was one sentence: The minions are exhausted, and people are arrested!
In the army of the Seventeen Guards of Heaven, there are also Jinyi Guards, and the Ming Dynasty actually has a Nanjing Jinyi Guard commander, but the power of many positions in Liudu is already very low, and the Seventeen Guards are basically insufficient, and there is only one Xiaoling Guard.
At the time of the death of the Ming Dynasty, the generals who garrisoned Nanjing surrendered, and the eunuch was so angry that he committed suicide on the spot, and Xiaolingwei resisted to the death. In the end, the last commander left a sentence in the history books: Commanded Mei Chun to raise troops in Xiaolingwei and died.
So many lives, in the end, these are the words.
Of course, Liu Jin doesn't need this Xiaoling guard who is rumored to be miraculous now, he only needs to dispatch ordinary thirteen guards and horses, plus the hundreds of people brought by Zhang Yong as the 'prison army', he is not afraid of someone pretending to be a ghost.
The next day, there were soldiers with spears in the city of Nanjing, in this year, many ordinary people still did not know that Liu Jin had arrived in Nanjing, after all, it was only a few days, and they thought that something else had happened.
Unexpectedly, these soldiers directly broke into the people's residential areas, sometimes they slammed the door rudely, pulled out the big knives that were bright, cut them off when they encountered resistance, and took away all the rest!
Of course, it is not that they will not be killed, but they will be interrogated alive and asked them to confess all the accomplices!
……
……
"Brother Zhao! Brother Zhao!! ”
In Jiangning County, the white-shirted young man on the street saw Zhao Mingfei, who was chatting and laughing with people on the second floor of the tavern, and shouted anxiously while rushing up, because he knew that the matter was serious, so he didn't make a noise, but whispered in his ear, "Brother Zhao!" The situation has changed, come with me! ”
This Jiang Ning genius is still very stylish, he said: "The gentleman is frank, he can't talk to others, you can say it loudly!" ”
"Oops!" The white-shirted young man was in a hurry, "Now is not the time to be reckless, you really go with me!" ”
"Is there any movement on the government side?"
Zhao Mingfei guessed it himself.
This was not difficult, but suddenly so flustered, it must be something the government has done.
"You want to say I'm in danger of my life?"
Guess again.
The young man in the white shirt is stupid.
Zhao Mingfei waved his hand, "I said a long time ago that Sijun serves the country, only death, my actions have always been above board, and life and death have been put aside!" ”
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!
The applause gradually fell.
But when everyone was looking for a sound, they found that it was not filmed by anyone.
"Downstairs!"
At the entrance of the building, sure enough, the hat worn by a brocade guard gradually appeared, followed by a calm man's face, "There is backbone, backbone, it is rare to see such a backbone in these years." ”
"Jin Yiwei!"
"It's Jinyiwei!"
Many people on the side were frightened.
Only Zhao Mingfei was still standing upright, "There is indeed a Jinyi guard in Jiangning County, you have been waiting here for a long time, right?" ”
"Oh? It looks like someone has given you a message. But it doesn't matter, after all, you're almost dead. ”
Zhao Mingfei was shocked in his heart and shouted: "The imperial court has the law of the Ming Dynasty!" I, Zhao Mingfei, have never violated any court laws, do you want to do it under this Lang Lang Qiankun?! ”
"Afraid of death?"
"Hahaha! What is the fear of death, besides, I am alone, and there are thousands of benevolent and righteous people, you will not understand the truth that the avenue lasts forever. ”
"I don't understand, I just understand that if I give an order, you will all fall to the ground."
You guys?
The word you he used made everyone dumbfounded.
Zhao Mingfei was a little panicked at this moment, "Do you want to do things against the sky, aren't you afraid of being punished by heaven!" ”
"Then you will be damned before me!" The brocade guard stopped talking nonsense, and quickly ordered: "Come on, arrest all these twenty people!" ”
"Yes!"
This is the street, and there are still many people watching.
Jin Yiwei did not evade it at all, and shouted publicly: "Gonggong Liu has an order, and anyone who does not obey the order of the imperial court Qingtian will be beheaded!" ”
He turned his head with a smug expression, looking at Zhao Mingfei with a look of disbelief and a pale face, "Just scold whatever you want, after all, your crime is added to the first degree, and if you are affected, your home will also have to be raided, I have found out before, there are more than 100 mouths up and down, and I tell you that none of them will survive." Also, I am very interested in what you call 'thousands of righteous people', come back with me, I want to listen to you." ”
……
Jiangning Zhixian Yamen.
The magistrate was so frightened that he fell from the chair, and he said in a panic: "All ...... Catch them all?! ”
"It's not all arrested, it's all killed!" The master also trembled, "It was said that Liu Jin and Eunuch Liu came to Nanjing, and he gave the order!" ”
"Liu Jin?"
The master didn't know, but the magistrate knew, at least he had been a jinshi, so when he heard this name at the moment, he was heartbroken, "That...... That...... That ......"
"Cousin, what?"
"What about the surveyors! Hurry up and I'll invite you over! ”
