Chen Cao just sent away Liao Kaiwen with empty eyes on the front foot, and Zhao Xin on the back foot came to tell Huang Chongtao to ask to see him, of course, until Huang Chongtao went out for more than an hour, like Liao Kaiwen, his eyes were scattered and he was top-heavy...

Chen Cao was happy in his heart, and looked at Zhao Xin, who was returning from sending the guests back: "This time, I want to see how rich the officials and rich people in Zhejiang are." Zhao Xin, do you estimate how much money you can get by beating rabbits with grass and beating rabbits, and also punching the Hangzhou Commercial Bank under the name of Zhang Ixu? ”

"My subordinates think that they have to have 10 million taels of silver." Zhao Xin said cautiously.

Chen Cao shook his head: "You also underestimate the rich people in Zhejiang, this time, at least this number..."

"Fifty million?" Zhao Xin's eyes widened: "Uncle, won't you?" ”

"Hehe..."Chen Cao smiled proudly: "There will only be more, not less, maybe more than that." ”

"Uncle, cutting off someone's money is like killing your parents, and if you do this, the backlash will definitely be great." Zhao Xin said with some concern.

Chen Cao stood up: "When people are about to die, in order to survive, they can leave anything behind, and they will never covet temporary interests, in the eyes of businessmen, as long as people live, money can be earned back sooner or later, which is why Shen Wansan donated his entire family property and went to Yunnan to share part of the family in order to survive." ”

"Will Liu Weisi resist desperately?" Zhao Xin frowned.

"Tsk... I don't know," Chen Cao shook his head.

"Uncle..."While he was talking, a lieutenant hurriedly ran to the lobby: "There is news from the governor's yamen that Liu Weisi, the political envoy, hanged himself. ”

"What?" Zhao Xin grabbed the lieutenant's collar: "The news is accurate? ”

"It's true, Governor Zhang Yangming has gone to the political envoy's yamen." The lieutenant nodded.

"Uncle..."Zhao Xin looked at Chen Cao anxiously.

The corners of Chen Cao's mouth tuckled, and then he laughed loudly: "Zhao Xin, Liu Weisi committed suicide in fear of crime, let's send it this time..."

"People are dead, and there is no proof of death, how can it be done?" Zhao Xin frowned.

Chen Cao tidied up his clothes and said in a straight voice: "Fear of crime and suicide, the whole family will not escape, and the other people involved are like frightened birds, I have to bring an account room to help me calculate Liu Weisi's family property." Let's go, let's go to the political envoy's yamen. ”

...

At the same time that Chen Cao led people to the Yamen of the political envoy, he ordered the Jinyi Guards to surround Liu Weisi's mansion by the West Lake, and the main reason for this two-way approach was that he was worried that the governor's yamen would occupy the majority of the head.

"Dingwubo..."

"I've seen Dingwubo..."

Chen Cao walked into the lobby of the political envoy's yamen, Liu Weisi's body had just been placed in the side room, Zhang Yangming sat in the first place with a blue face, and when he saw Chen Cao coming in, he got up and gave up his position to Chen Cao.

"Your Excellency has worked hard," Chen Cao arched his hand to the surroundings: "Liu Weisi committed suicide in fear of crime, obviously to protect you and the characters behind him, how do you think you should deal with the civil unrest in Zhejiang this time?" ”

Zhang Yangming sat next to Chen Cao, and when he saw this, he said: "All the main officials here are the main officials of the three divisions, and the lower officials have something to say. ”

Chen Cao turned his head: "Lord Zhang can speak as much as you like." ”

"Uncle Dingwu, take everything when you see it, Zhejiang is a heavy tax place for the imperial court, and you must not be chaotic anymore..."

Chen Cao nodded, and his affirmative look was a little fake: "What Master Zhang said is reasonable, but before dealing with the aftermath, Ben Bo also has to put out the evidence of Liu Weisi's crime," Although everyone who came to see him alone before knew the criminal evidence in Chen Cao's hand, it was still necessary to put it on the surface: "Liu Weisi was corrupt and perverted the law, instructed his subordinates to harm Hangzhou, causing civil unrest in Hangzhou, and the evidence of the crime is conclusive, and he killed Jinyiwei, and should be punished for the crime of rebellion, but..."

Chen Cao smiled evilly and stared at the crowd: "He is a member of the second grade, a high-ranking official of a province, he has to have reservations on his face, Ben Bo is ordered to supervise Zhejiang, how can he leave a good impression on the people of Zhejiang, since the other person is dead, the matter of gathering a crowd to rebel can be exempted, Jinyiwei's compensation is necessary, his whole family is exiled according to the law, the female dependents are the secretary of the sect, and the matter of copying the house is handled by the uncle, and the rest..."

Liao Kaiwen arched his hand: "Uncle Dingwu, the officials here don't dare to hide it, why don't you tell the truth, maybe you can discuss it?" ”

"Discuss?" Chen Cao frowned: "Okay, Ben Bo can discuss with you, but you have to tell Ben Bo that after the end of the Zhejiang War, you discussed something with Zhang Wenda, the secretary of the Ministry at the time..."

...

The whole process lasted all day, until the next day, Liu Weisi was hastily buried, Chen Cao was very satisfied with the political envoy Si Yamen, he got the largest pot of gold in this trip to Zhejiang.

"Uncle, from Liu Weisi's home alone, I copied out 4.3 million taels of silver, 200,000 taels of gold, and all kinds of precious calligraphy, paintings, and antique bracelets together, and when they were exchanged, there were about 7 million taels of silver."

"Only seven million?" Chen Cao frowned: "How long has Liu Weisi been a political envoy?" ”

Zhao Xin thought for a while: "Almost twelve years. However, he has only been in office for five years in Zhejiang. ”

"Zhao Xin, sooner or later, our Ming Dynasty will die at the hands of these so-called 'Qingliu'," Chen Cao sighed, and then grabbed a gold ingot: "There are only a few corrupt officials who are not scholars in the past dynasties, but the corrupt officials who are born in scholars have risen and fallen in successive dynasties, and there are more in one dynasty than in one dynasty. ”

With such a profound knowledge, Zhao Xin really couldn't answer: "Uncle, my subordinates are only shallow in learning..."

"In my opinion, it's the Baguwen that has a problem, it's absolutely no problem for these people to engage in education, a lot of people are engaged in education, how can they teach a few 'Ming Dynasty Wensheng', but let them govern the country, to be honest, it's a joke."

"Uncle, aren't you the 'Great Ming Wen Saint'?" Zhao Xin remembered the reputation that Chen Cao had spread.

Chen Cao shook his head: "I just happened to do it, didn't you find that although the article came out, it actually went against the will of these people, are they suppressing it?" ”

"Uncle, are you going to raid the house?" Zhao Xin asked.

"There is no hurry to raid the house, what about the rest, have the other officials been sent one after another?" Chen Cao sat down and looked through the ledger.

"According to the Inspectorate Division, a total of three million taels were paid, and Liao Kaiwen alone gave four million; In order to keep his official position, the entire Dusi Yamen raised 10 million taels, and I heard that the two commanded the servants to sell all their family property; There are few of the remaining officials of the political envoy and the yamen, and they have also made up more than 2 million taels. Zhao Xin said as he handed over another ledger to Chen Cao.

"In other words, the three divisions of the yamen together have..."

Chen Cao was still counting, and Zhao Xin blurted out: "About twenty-six million taels." ”

"Only 26 million?" Chen Cao frowned: "The major merchants didn't hand it over? ”

"I believe they have already informed them, Uncle wants cash in cash, and it is estimated that it will take some time for them to get things together when they go back." Zhao Xindao.

"Hangzhou Commercial Bank must not exist, no matter how Zhang and I continue, as long as we take him, hehe, money can help us get rid of all problems." Chen Cao smiled evilly: "Zhao Xin, find Liu Youwei, and call all of Liu Weisi's political participation, let's give them a punishment, and then take some evidence that Hangzhou merchants provided funds for the mob, and then..."

Zhao Xin smiled evilly: "Uncle is smart, his subordinates will do it." ”

...

Liu Weisi, as a political envoy, the mansion is on the edge of the West Lake, which is very open, and it supports the important position of Zhejiang in the Ming Dynasty court taxation, and the emperors of all dynasties did not divide the prince into Zhejiang, so that Zhejiang's wealth is concentrated in the hands of local officials and merchants.

The Liu family is now full of people, the periphery is full of brocade guards, and the people who are responsible for the search inside are Chen Cao's pro-soldiers, and no one in the big family raises chickens, otherwise it is not too much for the chickens to fly and the dogs to jump.

Chen Cao stood in front of the wall, leisurely teasing the birds, and there were a large number of people kneeling in front of him, if you say it carefully, there are more than 100 people.

"Uncle," Zhao Xin walked to Chen Cao's side: "The Liu family has one hundred and twenty-one mouths, except for the eldest son Liu Chang, who is an official in Huguang, and the rest are all here." ”

"Decree that Liu Chang be transferred to Changhua County, the capital of Qiongzhou, as an official, read his bureaucratic status, and not exile." Chen Cao said coldly.

"Yes, the subordinates will arrange it."

"The rest," Chen Cao looked around at Liu Weisi's family: "The political envoy Liu Weisi instigated the people of Hangzhou, bought off and instructed the hooligan Qingpi gang and the untouchables to kill Jinyiwei, seriously injuring more than a dozen people, and then framed the Qincha, and instigated the untouchables and students who did not know the truth to smash the city of Hangzhou and cause chaos in Hangzhou.

God has the virtue of a good life, the court read that Liu Weisi has been an official for many years, and the punishment is reduced, although the person is dead, he should be exempted from the punishment of beheading, and exempted from the crime of punishing the three clans, and the whole family of men was exiled to Qiongzhou Island, and the female dependents were enslaved in the Jiaofang Division. ”

As soon as the words fell, he began to cry, and his voice gradually became louder, Chen Cao couldn't hear this, so he walked out of Liu's mansion, and followed Zhao Xin to Chen Cao's side: "Uncle, the Liu family has a lot of beautiful female dependents. ”

"It makes sense," Chen Cao nodded: "Find a head or steal the dragon and turn the phoenix, leave all the beautiful ones, don't want slaves and maids, as long as the wife and daughter are like this, after the thing is over.... Hmm..."

Zhao Xin smiled evilly: "The subordinate province... Provincial..."

"Uncle, Mr. Huang and Mr. Xia are back." A lieutenant came to report.

Chen Cao smiled and looked at Huang Chunyao who came over: "Mr. Huang, your strategy... Okay..."

Huang Chunyao didn't feel that his plan was too much, but he was proud: "These officials don't have a good person, they fill their own pockets, give and receive each other privately, and stay on top of their position, but they are harming the people." ”

"Well, I like people like you," Chen Cao stared at Xia Yunyi: "Mr. Xia, can the trip to Taizhou be rewarding?" ”

Xia Yunyi arched his hand towards Chen Cao: "The students contacted the same year, and they all agreed to the student's request to do things for the uncle, and now they are all packing up their things and rushing from all over the country." ”

"Okay," Chen Cao patted Xia Yunyi's shoulder: "Is there anything else?" ”

Xia Yunyi thought for a while: "The student still has a year old, named Qu Shiyun, and Ding Wei is currently at home, and the student wrote to contact him a few days ago, but he has not yet replied." ”

Qu Shiyun?

The name is a little familiar, but I can't remember it, Chen Cao shook his head: "Whatever, you contact first, use as much as you want, but you have to remember, I don't need those people who talk big, I want to use Huang Chunyao and people like you who can 'do things'." ”

"Students remember..."
