Chapter 383: The Might of King Jin
"Of course, the acting is for you to see, and then through your mouth, it will be relayed to the emperor." King Jin laughed and said, "Aren't you fooled by their collusion up and down?" Then you report to your father, and it depends on your father's reaction.
"If the father doesn't want to cause chaos and chooses to believe it, then throw out a few scapegoats for him to dissipate his anger, so that the court has a step down, and this matter will be revealed.
"If my father refuses to spare him, he is not afraid, now that the country has been founded for ten years, he can't slaughter the city. If the law does not blame the public, most people will be fine. At least not those who are in charge of the big accounts. "The old three caves are like watching the fire road:
"As long as we can abolish the city, even if the cost is greater, it will be worth it. Anyway, it's not their big families who pay the price. ”
"Really, really?" Liu Ying was dumbfounded.
"Eighty percent is like this, the whole city of Suzhou is a community of interests." King Jin said in a deep voice: "You look at them as a whole, and all the incomprehensible places can be explained. ”
"This ......" Liu Ying pondered for a long time, and Fang said in horror: "It's true." ”
"No, it's not a whole, it's someone who is self-inflicted." The sixth said resolutely: "Those big families make the poor people mistakenly think that they are a gang on both sides. Actually, not at all - the poor are too stupid to be sold by big families and help count the money. ”
"That's right!" The third elder patted the sixth brother on the shoulder, he felt that his sixth brother was a first-class sober person in the world, and he saw any problem more thoroughly than others. So it can be said in one sentence and hit the nail on the head.
"The big families first used them as a tool to make trouble, and then they hid behind them and used them as shields. As I said just now, no matter how the court handles it, in the final analysis, it is just four words, and the law does not blame the public. So the big ones are not afraid - they are sure that they will be able to escape. ”
"Well, this kind of thing, they definitely won't be directly involved." Even Liu Ying understood the joints and said: "We only need to arrange a few proper people to pass the word for them, and let those people go away afterwards, and we won't be able to find out about them." ”
"Normally, that's the case, but this king doesn't need evidence." His Royal Highness, the suave King of Jin, suddenly said with a terrifying laugh:
"It won't help if they do everything, this king wants them to see, what is a force to ten meetings!"
~~
At noon, the group arrived at the foot of Suzhou.
Lou Men, Li Heng, the prefect of Suzhou, Xie Ding, the commander of Suzhou Wei, and Guo Zhixian of Wu County and Changzhou led the gentry of Manchu to greet him.
When the two highnesses came to the front, the drums sounded in unison, the music troupe played the "Introducing the Phoenix Tune", and Li Heng Xie Ding led the crowd to bow. It is similar to the welcome ceremony of Zhenjiang Mansion at the beginning.
The two highnesses were covered with frost, and their welcome to the place was not false in the slightest.
After the four worships, Li Heng and the others couldn't hear the two highnesses say 'flat', so they could only kneel on the ground in embarrassment, not daring to raise their heads.
The brothers looked coldly at the Suzhou gentry who were kneeling on the ground, and knew that they didn't look at their honest appearance, but in fact, they were all full of disrespect, and they didn't take his brothers to heart at all.
"Let them fool around this time, and no one will dare to touch them in the future." The third said to the sixth in a low voice, and then said to Xie Ding: "Commander Xie, you calm down first." ”
"Yes." Xie Ding immediately got up.
"Arrest all the gentry present." Then His Royal Highness the King of Jin gave an earth-shattering order.
"Yes!" Xie Ding did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered his soldiers to do it, arresting all the gentry who were so surprised that they were stunned.
Xie Ding is the youngest son of Yongping Marquis Xie Cheng and the brother-in-law of His Royal Highness King Jin......
"Let us go, why do you want to arrest us?!" It wasn't until their hands were cut off that the big families in Suzhou woke up like a dream, struggling and protesting loudly: "Your Highness, you can't do this to us!" ”
"What do you think you are? It's just something like a dog! His Royal Highness the King of Jin trampled on their dignity with contempt on his face.
"Your Highness, what is this for?" Li Heng and the two magistrates were also stunned, looking helplessly at the officers and soldiers who were like wolves and tigers, and tied their hands like chickens to the big families who usually watched the orders and could not be beaten.
In order to humiliate them, the third child also ordered their ankles to be tied up, and then the handcuffs and shackles were tied together with a rope. In this way they could only walk hunched over and move like women with small feet.
The third child is called 'Lotus Born Step by Step'.
The sixth brother had to sigh that in terms of torturing people, the third brother was simply at the level of the founding grandmaster.
"What for?!" The king of Jin pointed the finger at Li Heng and the two county commanders.
"They are behind this rebellion, are you going to speak for them?"
Li Heng and the three of them were busy and didn't dare.
The big families were shocked at first, and said in their hearts, how did he know? But soon came back to the scene and knew that King Jin was cheating them.
Then they shouted 'wronged'!
"You come up with evidence, otherwise it's slander!" The big ones protested loudly:
"Many of us Wu people are officials in Beijing, you fabricate charges like this and slander good people, they will definitely report to the emperor!"
"Hmph, in troubled times, you don't have a chance." His Royal Highness the King of Jin sneered and said murderously: "My father has lost patience with Suzhou several times. I made up my mind to kill the last batch rather than indulge in vain, and return Suzhou to a bright future! ”
Saying that, he looked at Li Heng and said, "This king knows that you have received their benefits, so you have a lot of protection." ”
The three of them naturally cried and grabbed the ground, swearing to the sky that they would be loyal to the court and not shield them.
"Then prove it to the king!" The third child pulled out a list from his sleeve. The sixth child ordered Shen Liuniang to investigate the big households in the south of the Yangtze River before, and he knew everything about the big households in Suzhou.
The third child handed the list to Li Hengdao:
"There are still a lot of gentry who have not come to greet us, and you take this list and go door to door to invite. If you don't come, the three of you can make up for yourself! ”
"Yes." The three of them responded in fear. Now he is a friend of the dead and poor, and he can't care about the life and death of those big households.
"Put them in jail." His Royal Highness the King of Jin finally ordered: "Tomorrow I will ask for beheading." ”
"Yes, ah......" Li Heng and the others couldn't help but exclaim again.
A large number of big families were even more mournful, and some people fainted on the spot.
Of course, there are also people who are very tough, and they still curse non-stop until they were loaded into the prisoner car and transported to the Suzhou Wei military camp.
Along the way, the people saw that the big families with a high reputation were insulted by this kind of insult, and they were naturally filled with righteous indignation, cursing loudly at the court, and shouting for them to release them.
His Royal Highness the King of Jin turned a deaf ear to this, and if they had the ability, they hijacked the prisoner car. If you don't have the ability, just scold it, anyway, you can't miss a meat or two.
He continued to give orders on his own, ordering the government to continue to arrest people......
This time, the target is the gangs and underworld forces in Suzhou City.
