Fan Ye stood up with weakness and said in a deep voice: "What a vicious majesty! ”

Han Dengyu also understood at this time, so he nodded and said:

"He would rather be afraid of a peasant who has lost his land, a eunuch with no income, and he is not afraid of us businessmen!"

"It's too bullying!"

Jin merchant Wang Chengku also said at that time.

"Father!"

"They're in!"

"What are we going to do?!"

Fan Ming looked at the strong men with knives rushing in in at this time, and was so frightened that his legs were weak on the spot, and he asked Fan Ye anxiously.

Fan Ye himself was also afraid, and for a while he could only watch the family members he had raised for many years being killed while fighting these people.

Because many of the members of the Unification Society were veterans of the military academy, they were very experienced in launching armed attacks, and these Jin merchants' families were no match at all.

And before these Jin merchants were killed, Fan Ye was shot a few arrows by several members who burst in from behind, which made Fan Ye feel a sharp pain in his back on the spot, and then fell to the ground.

Before closing his eyes, he also glanced at the members who rushed in from behind.

Han Dengyu decisively knelt down at this time: "Spare your life!" We know it's wrong! ”

Click!

A member of the club still came over and calmly cut off Han Dengyu's head to the ground with a knife.

Wang Chengku was directly frightened when he saw this.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I have a major secret to expose about my father and others who are preventing reunification! ”

Fan Ming, the son of Fan Ye, reacted quickly, hurriedly shouted, and at this time pointed at Wang Chengku and the others:

"They can all testify!"

As a result, Wang Chengku escaped.

The people of the United Society did not do anything to him because of this.

Pham Minh himself escaped.

And within a month, outside the city of Jingshi, several heads such as Fan Ye were suddenly hung, and they were posted on the wall saying that these people prevented the unification of the world and did not let the people live a peaceful life, so they should be killed.

Meanwhile.

Pham Minh and Wang Chengku also knelt at the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, saying that they would surrender themselves.

Therefore, for a while, the whole world was shocked and panicked by this series of things, and they began to talk about it.

Dongchang also took the opportunity to muddy public opinion and guide public opinion.

"Have you heard, these things are all done by the Unification Society!"

"What is Unification? It's a club made up of veterans who aspire to global unification! Some of them threatened to kill anyone who stood in the way of unity! ”

"Why, what good is unification for them, so that they dare to do so?"

"How is it no good! As long as the imperial court has been on the road to unifying the world, they will have a place to play, for example, the recent hotly discussed unification of Saibei and the replacement of the imperial village into the imperial property, they can therefore take charge of these imperial properties for the imperial family, and then they can continue to work for the imperial family, after all, the emperor himself can't manage so much imperial property, and other scholars and doctors are unwilling to take care of it, so they can only hire these people who are not afraid of savages, wild beasts, wind, frost, rain and snow and dare to play with their lives. ”

"Jin Yiwei doesn't care?"

"What does this do to Jinyiwei? What's more, Jinyiwei and them are all family, and the people in Jinyiwei are also afraid that they will not work after they are discharged from the army in the future, and they are not as good as literati doctors, and they can still do literati things after being discharged from the army, they can only continue to do things that play with their lives, and even if there are people in Jinyiwei who don't want to live in peace, they will be afraid of people who play with their lives, so naturally they can't see it. ”

"Then I support reunification!"

"Don't you dare not support it, if you don't support it, maybe some people from the United Society will find some door."

"Yes, it's terrible, but I'm afraid that some robbers will deliberately say who is in the way of global unification, and take the opportunity to kill them and take their property."

"Because of this, His Majesty does not support the Unification Society to do this, and he is very angry, saying that he wants to curb this phenomenon, and he has also arrested a lot of people from the Unification Society, and even killed a few, and for this reason, he has also cut off the title of Da Jinwu for his merits, and now he is only holding the official position of a Jinyi Guard Commander on an errand, that is the eldest son of the gentleman he respects the most, and he has always been very trusted by His Majesty, and now I heard that he is scolded in front of the emperor every day!"

"It's better to be blocked, Your Majesty is actually useless just to blame Da Jinwu, you have to find a way to solve the problem itself, in fact, it's nothing to unify the north, and it's nothing to become an imperial property, that place, except for those who are not afraid of cold and death are willing to go, no one wants to give it away for nothing."

"Therefore, since ancient times, there has only been a reason for the Tartars in the north to take the initiative to go south, and no one has the reason to take the initiative to go north."

"Who said it wasn't, the princes of the court and the people of the world are all people who understand, they should know this truth, and they must be about to come up with a verdict."

Because Dongchang is guiding public opinion, while people all over the world are paying attention to and discussing these things, they have also shifted their attention to whether to unify the Saibei, whether to turn the mountains and forests in the Saibei into the imperial property of the Ming Empire, and replace the domestic Huangzhuang, under the guidance of the Dongchang, it seems that as long as this matter is solved, the assassination and riot will disappear.

As a result, the powerful bureaucrats and the people who just wanted to live in peace in this prosperous era began to support the unification of the northern part of the country, hoping that this would dispel this uneasiness.

Zhang Yuedu, the imperial historian of the left capital, had to ask the two of them after Fan Ming and Wang Chengku came to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to surrender: "What do you want to surrender, but it is also related to the Unification Society?" ”

"It's not!"

"It's about us."

At this time, Fan Ming replied.

And Wang Chengku just drooped his head.

Zhang Yue was a little stunned after hearing this: "It has something to do with yourself? ”

"Yes, in front of the capital, how dare a student lie."

Fan Ming replied.

After hearing this, Zhang Yue asked again: "Since it is for himself, what is the matter of surrendering, why do you want to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to surrender?" ”

"Because it involves an official of the imperial court, it is natural to come to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to surrender."

"The student and Uncle Shi turned themselves in in collusion with border ministers and border soldiers to smuggle leather goods and ginseng."

"We Shanxi businessmen are basically involved in smuggling, in fact, as early as after Hegong, we have participated, not only smuggling ginseng and leather goods into the customs, but also smuggling iron and gunpowder out of the customs, but later a large number of Mongolian Jurchens were moved away or sinicized, and we basically couldn't smuggle anything out, so we could only smuggle ginseng and leather goods into the customs."

"And now, we are only focusing on one thing, that is, let our own children and relatives and friends be officials in the court, and try to promote the division of the northern part of the country to the people, or prevent it from being included in the territory of our Ming Dynasty, so that in order to gradually annex those dense forests and mountains in northern Xinjiang in the future, so that in the future, the skins, ginseng and charcoal in those places will only become the benefit of our people on the right side of the mountain."

"It's just that now, the imperial court wants to turn the dense forests and mountains in northern Xinjiang into imperial property, and we, the Shanxi businessmen, are naturally unwilling, but there are still people like Xiong Tingbi who are willing to be the vanguard of doing this, and we are thinking that even if we can't stop this, we must get rid of Xiong Tingbi, and teach the heroes and heroes in the world who want to serve the country and the people a lesson, so that they dare not take the world as their own responsibility."

"Although we also know that the imperial village in the country will be removed and returned to the people, and only the dense forests and mountains in northern Xinjiang will become the imperial property, which will not only benefit the monarch's father to support the people without cutting the people, but also benefit the country from burdening the small people by raising the royal family, and Xiong Tingbi is willing to do this to achieve this, which is considered to be doing such a thing for the long-term peace and stability of the country, but because of our own selfishness, we decided to take revenge on Xiong Tingbi."

Fan Ming said at this time.

At this time, Hou Fugong, who was also born in the Jin Dynasty, couldn't help but come over and said sharply: "What nonsense are you talking about!" ”

"Hou Shibo, don't be angry."

"Students just tell the truth."

Fan Ming replied at this time.

Hou Fugong's face turned blue and looked at Zhang Yue: "General Xian, can you take a step to talk about this matter." ”

Zhang Yue replied: "No need! ”

Then, Zhang Yue looked at Fan Ming and continued to ask, "Tell me, how do you want to retaliate against Xiong Tingbi?" ”

"Since he wants to seriously investigate the smuggling of leather goods and ginseng in Liaodong, then we plan to let Song Yihan and Zhu Yigui impeach Xiong Tingbi first, so that the ruling government of the DPRK and China will understand what we mean, and will persuade His Majesty to kill Xiong Tingbi, comfort our hearts, and avoid forcing us; If Your Majesty doesn't do this, we can only let our people in Liaodong assassinate Xiong Tingbi. ”

"It's just that before I could arrange someone to kill Xiong Tingbi, Song and Zhu Yanguan were killed first, and even my father and several uncles who were friends were killed."

Fan Minh replied.

Zhang Yue nodded after hearing this: "Can there be relevant physical witnesses?" ”

"The physical evidence includes all kinds of letters and documents from my father's lifetime, and the human evidence is the Uncle Wang Shishu next to me."

"Then, if Hou Shibo is willing to confess to the imperial court, it can also be used as a witness."

After Fan Ming said, he pointed to Hou Fugong.

Hou Fugong gritted his teeth here, his face was red and his lips were white, and he didn't say a word.

"Let them draw the detention, and then take them into custody first, and then make a decision after this court has explained the matter to His Majesty."

Zhang Yue commanded at this time.

So, Fan Ming and Wang Chengku were escorted down.

And Zhang Yue withdrew the others, leaving only Hou Fugong:

"What the hell is Gong trying to say?"

Hou Fugong sighed: "I don't have anything to say. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Yue did not leave the Metropolitan Procuratorate and did not say anything.

And Hou Fugong really honestly surrendered to the imperial court and went to self-impeachment, but he chose to commit suicide by taking poison soon after.

Zhu Yijun only approved the matter of "handling according to the law", and did not explain anything.

As a result, Fan Ming and Wang Chengku were transferred to the prison of the Criminal Department, where they were left to be executed.

It's just that in this way, the entanglement between Jin Shang and the Unification Society and Xiong Tingbi is completely exposed to the world, so that the people who were killed no longer arouse so much sympathy from the people of the world.

And then, the other people involved in the smuggling were really afraid of the emperor, and they didn't dare to suggest that the emperor killed Xiong Tingbi, and even Xiong Tingbi didn't dare to kill him.

Because they were very afraid, if Xiong Tingbi didn't die, the emperor and the people of the world would logically think that they had done it, and then the Son of Heaven would have a reason to continue to investigate until they vomited all the money, so not only did they dare not do anything to Xiong Tingbi, but they even had to start secretly protecting Xiong Tingbi.
