Chapter 71: At the Feet of the Son of Heaven
The day after more than 20,000 people were killed in Yangzhou Mansion, Zhu Zhan Yan boarded the ship and left Yangzhou Mansion, so that Yangzhou, a place that had been shrouded in clouds for a long time, finally cleared and dispersed.
But did Zhu Zhanyan really return to Beijing as he said?
Zhenjiang Mansion, Dantu.
"Hey, hey! Tap! Tap! I have fine skin and tender meat, should you be your master? ”
In the Zhenjiang Prefecture Office, Zhu Zhanyan sat on the chair that only the prefect could sit on without any image, and his feet were directly on the bookcase that ordinary people might not even dare to touch, without the slightest appearance of the prince of the Han Dynasty.
No, from a certain point of view, Zhu Zhanyan is a bit like the prince of the Han Dynasty at this time.
What is the identity of the prince of Han? He is the second son of the emperor of the current dynasty, the eldest son of His Royal Highness the King of Han, and the real second generation.
Look at the current Zhu Zhanyan, leaning back on a chair, with his feet on the bookcase, and three beautiful women standing next to him, one rubbing his shoulders, one beating his legs, and the other feeding him fruits.
Isn't this a proper template for the second ancestor?
"Bah!" Spit out the grape skins and seeds in his mouth, Zhu Zhanyan said with a comfortable face.
"Governor Liu, you can't do this."
"Don't people say that the dancing girl of the Western Regions is good? You don't have any of that, do you? ”
"If you don't have a dancing girl in the Western Regions, forget it, why did you get a few Korean women? I'm tired of seeing this North Korean woman, which year didn't I bring a few when North Korea paid tribute? ”
"That's what you said! What are you talking about......" Liu Chun, the prefect of Zhenjiang Prefecture, knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously, his face full of nervousness and sneer.
"You said you, you're so bold that I dare to start enjoying it when I walk on the front foot and you start enjoying it on the back foot, why don't you dare to be good on the whole day?"
Zhu Zhanyan pouted and sucked the grapes out of the woman's hand as fruit.
"Hmm...... At the foot of this Son of Heaven, it is still adjacent to the junction of the Yangtze River and the canal, and the location of your Zhenjiang Prefecture is a fat difference! According to your timidity, you can't pay hundreds of thousands of taels a year? But if you are a little bolder, you can reach millions. ”
"In addition, several big businessmen such as Wang, Zheng, and Chen have fornicated with the Japanese and sold grain at high prices, and then used your position to exchange shoddy food for disaster relief from the imperial court."
"This is a calculation, you have been in office for three years, why can't you have a net worth of 10 million taels? Why are you living so poorly? ”
"You...... You are serious......" Liu Chun's face was covered with cold sweat and kept kowtowing.
"I didn't ...... Not so much, I ...... I don't dare......"
"Don't dare?" Zhu Zhanyan smiled, spit out the grape skin in his mouth, took his feet back, and sat up straight.
Before he could take a breath, the comfort and smile on his face instantly turned into a coldness that could make people chill instantly.
"Governor Liu, where is this? Dare to collaborate with the enemy to harm the people of the Ming Dynasty, why don't you dare? Behold, there is nothing in the world that thou shalt not dare. ”
Although he didn't do it himself, watching more than 100,000 people being killed, Zhu Zhanyan's momentum was already beyond the reach of ordinary people.
As for Liu Chun? Don't make trouble, this is just a corrupt official with a fat brain, you look at his belly, it is estimated that he has not seen what his second brother looks like for a long time.
This kind of person, in addition to indulging in lust all day long, can you expect him to do things for you? Where did he get his momentum, Zhu Zhanyan had seen a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, what qualifications did he have?
Just a few words, Liu Chun was so frightened that he couldn't say a word, and he only knew kowtow in a cold sweat, and his brain was broken.
"Alas, you said you knew this was the case, why did you bother in the first place?" Zhu Zhanyan shook his head in disappointment.
"I'm tired of killing more than 20,000 people in Yangzhou, and if it weren't for the end of the Yangtze River flood season, I wouldn't have stopped at this Zhenjiang Mansion."
"You're okay, delivered to the door yourself?"
When Liu Chun heard this, he kowtowed faster.
Now Zhu Zhan's reputation outside can really be described as a murderer, and it may not reach the point of stopping children's night crying, but there is no problem in making adults afraid.
Not to mention the prince of Han, even if an ordinary person kills more than 100,000 people, others will have to take a detour when they see him.
What? Zhu Zhanyan didn't kill anyone, they were all killed by the soldiers of the Ming army?
That's true, but who cares?
"Huh?" Zhu Zhanyan suddenly frowned, and reached out in front of his nose with a look of disgust.
This Liu Chun, the guts are really not good, in the end he was scared to pee his pants.
"Forget it, let's deal with it." Zhu Zhanyan waved his hand.
"Nope! Not ......"
After two short shouts, all sounds were gone.
Bang.
Having lost his head, Liu Chun's body fell to the ground weakly.
"Ah......h
The three North Korean women who were serving Zhu Zhanyan had never seen such a scene, and immediately screamed, making Zhu Zhanyan's eardrums hurt.
"Shut up!" Zhu Zhanyan slapped the table suddenly, and the three women were instantly quiet.
The not-so-strong smell of blood quickly diffused, covering Liu Chun's urine smell.
Zhu Zhanyan took a deep breath.
Well, it smells so much better than urine.
"I'll leave it to Jinyiwei here." Zhu Zhanyan stood up, completely ignoring the blood still flowing in the hall, and walked over directly.
"During the flood season of the Yangtze River, turn to the land route to respond to the sky."
"Yes!" Zhu Ling and Zhu Ping bowed their heads in response, and left the government office behind Zhu Zhanyan.
In the past, the Zhenjiang Prefecture Office, which was full of people and visitors, has been surrounded by Jinyi guards at this moment, and the crowds in the past have long since disappeared, replaced by a dead silence.
Even the occasional passers-by chose to take a detour when they saw the brocade guards guarding the door.
In the hearts of ordinary people, the Jinyi Wei wearing the flying fish suit is much more terrifying than Zhu Zhanyan, who kills gods on the battlefield.
……
Zhu Zhanyan sat in the carriage, leaning on the soft cushion, drowsy.
This Liu Chun was the first fish he discovered, and it was also the biggest fish on the trip, but Zhu Zhanyan really didn't plan to catch this big fish.
The Tonan Sea of the Illicit Wako was a group of merchants who came together because of common interests, and they later developed a close relationship with the officials.
This time, Zhu Zhan actually cut off most of the wings of this group, but left behind Liu Chun, the prefect of Zhenjiang Prefecture, Chen Song, the prefect of Jiaxing Prefecture, and Li Ling, the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture.
The old man's purpose is to ask for money, and the money that needs to be used to solve the urgent needs has been raised enough to kill people and raid homes in Yangzhou Mansion, and for Zhu Zhanyan, this is the completion of the task.
As for these big fish, it's better to leave it to the old man to take it.
After all, watching such a large amount of money being boxed, even Zhu Zhanyan felt very enjoyable, after all, the amount of copper coins was very large.
In the early Ming Dynasty, when gold and silver had not yet become conventional currencies, this kind of scene was the last shock, and when gold and silver prevailed in the future, this kind of scene could not be seen.
The boxes containing the money are stacked into a small mountain, how can this be described as shocking?
