Chapter 262: Kill the slaves and arrest the big salt merchants
"If Your Majesty kills me because I am too cowardly to do anything, and because I am lenient in my government, it will be against his will to be a benevolent ruler!"
Zhang Siwei told Zhang Sijiao at home that he was the first assistant according to the emperor's intentions after the impeachment of Zhang Xueyan, the reformist minister of the Ministry of Households.
"That's what my brother said!"
Zhang Sijiao nodded, and said with a smile, "Presumably, Your Majesty has begun to regret letting my brother be the leader!"
Zhang Siwei sneered: "Unless he refuses to let Jiangling deserve to enjoy the Taimiao, he can only let his brother be the first at that time!"
"If you want to stop the monarch, you have to use this kind of bait that the monarch can't refuse, so that he has no choice!"
"Then the next step is still the Yanguan singing in front, and the elder brother is only responsible for going to school Li Xinghua (Li Shichun) in the first auxiliary position?"
Zhang Sijiao looked at Zhang Siwei and asked.
Zhang Siwei nodded: "The corpse vegetarian meal is sometimes an attitude!"
"That's what my brother said!"
"However, it is better for my brother to resign as soon as possible, so as not to be jealous of His Majesty!"
Zhang Sijiao said.
Zhang Siwei said with a solemn face: "As long as he is willing to practice leniency and abolish the Jiangling system, he will leave for his brother's own interest, and it will not hinder his eyes!"
"Even if he wants to find someone who will let him be the emperor he wants, it doesn't matter!"
"Even if he is so selfish that he takes all the wealth of the people in the world, he will be extremely poor and luxurious, and he will have no opinion as a brother, and he will praise and thank him for his long!"
"Instead of really being the emperor according to Gangneung's last wish!"
In front of his younger brother, Zhang Siwei said his true requirements for Zhu Yijun.
"What about them in Shenwu County?"
"Will they restore Gangneung after their brother leaves or is deposed in the future?"
Zhang Sijiao asked at this time.
Zhang Siwei sneered: "Shenwu County, they will have the courage to follow the rules and regulations, but let them restore the government of Jiangling, force the world's wealthy right to pay more taxes again, and spit out the hidden fields that are flying and treacherous, they don't have the guts!" Brothers are cowards, so how can they not be cowards?"
Zhang Sijiao nodded after hearing this, and smiled proudly: "No wonder Shenwu County will be reluctant to retain their brother, but I am afraid that they also have the intention of abolishing the new policy by the hand of their brother, for them who want the emperor and courtiers to work together, if they don't let His Majesty adhere to the Jiangling system, it is not a bad thing."
"That's exactly what it is!"
"Except for the Son of Heaven who was taught by Gangneung to be the king of Yao Shun, and insisted on insisting that the people of Gangneung would not die, no one really wanted to adhere to Gangneung's idea of reform, and no one wanted to continue to embarrass the bureaucrats of the world who only wanted to share the beauty and beauty."
Zhang Siwei nodded and said.
"Without Yuanfu like Gangneung to handle his daily redundancy, presumably the Son of Heaven won't last long, at least now the six departments should be unbearable!"
"There are so many suggestions to discuss and give a resolution and give a plan without delay, which is tantamount to exhausting them to death or forcing them to resign if there is only one Shangshu and two squires and each department is only one lang."
"This dynasty is originally a small number of officials and many officials, which is suitable for leniency and inaction, but not for strict investigation and urging."
Zhang Sijiao continued to say with a smile.
"That's right!"
Zhang Siwei couldn't help but put his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "Unless the Son of Heaven can be like Taizu, he would rather die of exhaustion than be lenient!"
"Now that the winter solstice has passed, my brother has to go back to Yangzhou!"
"But in terms of salt administration, can you also let my brother find someone to impeach him Hai Gangfeng?"
"This person has always been the governor of Nanzhi, and those stoves in the Lianghuai salt industry are like having backers, which has made the stove salt merchants who work for us lose a lot of profits."
Zhang Sijiao asked about Zhang Siwei.
Zhang Siwei sank his face, and then nodded.
Zhang Sijiao was overjoyed and immediately boarded the ship to Tongzhou the next day.
He didn't plan to impeach Hai Rui in the Northern Capital, after all, there were too many Jinyi Guards in the Northern Capital, so he planned to go to the Southern Capital to contact the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate and the officials of the Nanjing Sixth Section to impeach Hai Rui.
For this reason, when Zhang Sijiao was resting in Linqingzhou, an important canal town, he went ashore to a money bank, took 50,000 taels of silver, and prepared to go to Nandu to make a point.
But Zhang Sijiao was just about to go ashore on this day, and when he instructed the people carrying the silver box to be careful, he saw a large group of brocade guards surrounding.
Zhang Sijiao was shocked when he saw this.
But Zhang Sijiao reacted quickly, and hurriedly instructed Zhang Xiu, the head of his family, "Take a few people to dive and leave, and go back to Beijing to tell the uncle that our Zhang family is being targeted by Jinyiwei!"
Then, Zhang Sijiao instructed Zhang Min, the head of his other family, "Take a few people to a few gangs in the Linqing Pass to ask for help!"
Zhang Xiu and Zhang Min both nodded yes, and then led people to run from all over the place.
Among them, Zhang Xiu directly ran towards the canal with five people, and as soon as he arrived at the canal, he shouted: "Jump!"
But at this time, twenty or thirty brocade guards suddenly appeared in the canal, and they all held bows and crossbows, and it didn't take long for them to open the mechanism and shoot at these Zhang Fu family members.
"Ahh
Several family members led by Zhang Xiu were hit by arrows and fell to the ground one after another.
He himself fell to the ground with an arrow in his abdomen and thigh, and then watched as the Jinyi Guard who came ashore drew a short knife and put it against his throat, and the Jinyi Guard took out the gold sore medicine to heal him.
At the same time, Zhang Min was also blocked by the brocade guards who suddenly appeared from the warehouses around the dock.
Whoosh!
When a row of crossbow arrows came over, Zhang Min and the others also fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Zhang Sijiao's face became more and more ugly.
"Second Master, these brocade guards are obviously prepared, we should have been targeted a long time ago."
"We may still underestimate the Son of Heaven who grew up in the palace, Zhang Jiangling shouldn't have taught him to use more ministers and less eagle dogs."
"In addition, the silver we gave Zhang Whale is probably useless!"
Qiu Hu, the doorman beside Zhang Sijiao, spoke.
Zhang Sijiao gritted his teeth and said, "*** damn it, Zhang Whale is a dog thing, he only collects money and doesn't do personnel, and sooner or later he will be cut by a thousand knives!"
"Ahh
It didn't take long for Lu Qiancheng, a hundred households in Dongchang, to put his waist knife and strode towards Zhang Sijiao.
At the same time, the captain of the Jinyi Guard, who came with him, drew his sword and strangled the entourage Hao Nu brought by Zhang Siwei to death on the spot one by one.
The screams came out one after another.
Zhang Sijiao brought too many entourages, and Dongchang Jinyiwei was worried about leaking secrets, so that people knew in advance that Zhang Sijiao was arrested and prepared, so they simply killed a group of ordinary slaves who could not know the core secrets of the Zhang family first, and then killed some people first.
The struggle for power and interests within the ruling class is inevitably so brutal in many cases.
And since he is attached to the powerful and wants others to become slaves and evade taxes and servitude, he must be mentally prepared to be killed for no reason like this.
Zhang Sijiao watched his own slaves fall one after another, and the blood gradually flowed out of these fallen slaves, and gradually converged into blood porridge, and when these brocade-clothed guards stepped over from these corpse blood porridge as if nothing happened, they also swallowed a few times, and then had to weaken their knees and kneel down:
"May I ask the errand boys, what did the students do to make the errand workers work hard!"
Lu Qiancheng shook off the drag, squatted down the knife, looked at Zhang Sijiao and said with a smile:
"We are the people of the Beizhen Fusi Imperial Tomb Excavation Group, and Yu Xiaolian, the proprietor of the Yongchang Commercial Bank in Wuchang, Huguang, revealed that the initiator of the excavation of the Imperial Tomb was not Xu Huating, but your Second Master Zhang made people imitate Xu Jie's notes; Hui Xiang, the maid of the Xu family, also confessed that you had indeed been to the Xu family, and she had slept with you, and even knew that you had a palm-sized birthmark on your buttocks, and she also got Xu Jie's private seal. So, now I have to come and get you."
Lu Qiancheng said and took out the driving sticker: "Take a look for yourself, this is the driving sticker of the Criminal Division!"
Zhang Sijiao hurriedly raised his head with a shocked expression.
And Lu Qiancheng smiled at this time: "The six branches are not only you who will buy them, but our factory guards also have their own people in the six branches."
"I didn't expect Your Majesty to be so concerned about this matter!"
"It's just that Xu Jie has become the culprit, and it should be eliminated, why do you have to investigate again?"
Zhang Sijiao said with a puzzled look on his face and then asked.
Lu Qiancheng said, "You can ask the above!"
