Before the house was raided, the degrading officer scattered all the family wealth. Whether it is donated to do good deeds or squandered, it is sinful.

Chang Feng escorted Shang Ming back to his outer house, and then reported the situation to Sun Luan, the envoy of Beizhen.

Later, Sun Luan reported to Zhu Ji, and Zhu Ji reported to Huai En of the Supervision Factory and Wei, and Huai En reported to Emperor Hongzhi.

Inside the main hall of the Qianqing Palace.

After listening to Huai'en's report, Emperor Hongzhi said: "In front of the righteous school under the Xiangshan, set up a monument for Shang Ming." Two words are engraved on the stele. ”

"A word for 'sin' and a word for 'good.'"

These are two seemingly contradictory terms, but sometimes, sin and good are not contradictory. Sinners may also have done good deeds.

Emperor Hongzhi added: "You say hello to the eunuch guarding Nanjing Town, Shang Ming should be kind when he arrives at Xiaoling." ”

Huai En arched his hand: "The old slave replaces the guilty eunuch Shangming, thank the emperor for his grace." ”

Emperor Hongzhi said again: "After disposing of the three brothers of the Wan family, Monk Ming." Next, we must pay close attention to the disposal of Li Zixing, Jixiao, and Jingyuan. ”

"Even if Li Zi Province and Ji Xiaoling Chi are executed, they can't solve the hatred in my heart."

"As for Jing Yuan. At the beginning, 'Mount Tai moved, but the East Palace did not move', he spoke for me. It's all about driving them out of the capital. ”

"Except for them. The monks, Taoist priests, monks, and ministers in the palace must also be driven away. People drive away, money stays! ”

Shang Ming said: "Yes." The old slave went to deliver the decree. ”

Jing Yuan thought that he had saved the original prince. Now that the dynasty has changed, his wealth can continue.

He underestimated Emperor Hongzhi's determination to make great efforts. The first step of making great efforts is to sweep away all the ghosts, snakes, and gods in the palace.

Wynne came to Jinyiwei. It happened that Zhu Ji and Sun Luan went to Dali Temple on business.

So Wynne found Changfeng.

Huai En said: "The emperor has decreed that the two demons of Li Zi Province and Jixiao will be executed. You do it right away. ”

Chang Feng asked, "Do you want to say hello to Commander Zhu?" Commander Zhu made his subordinates the most jealous of crossing him to do things. ”

Wynne said, "No. Zhu Ji's man attaches too much importance to those dead rules. ”

"The prime minister of the hall and the governor of Dongchang ordered his eldest grandson to be ordered to do an errand, and there is nothing unruly."

Chang Feng said: "Yes." Li Zixing and Jixiao are in prison. Xu Fatzi had just punished them, and they confessed where the stolen money in their family was hidden. ”

"My grandson is going to be ordered to put them to death."

Shang Ming said, "Wait." Eldest grandson, let me ask you, is there a death penalty in Jinyi Wei that is more painful than Ling Chi? ”

Chang Feng replied: "Yes." The 'high and high' way of dying is more painful than Ling Chi. ”

Shang Ming was a little strange: "What is the high?" Let's talk about it. ”

Chang Feng explained to Shang Ming.

The so-called high festival is, to put it bluntly, bamboo punishment.

Bury a bamboo shoot seedling in the soil. Then nail a stake around the bamboo shoots.

Tie the victim's limbs to a wooden stake and fix them. Feed him rice soup every day to make sure he doesn't starve to death.

It won't be long before the bamboo shoots break through the ground. Slowly growing one by one, piercing the chest of the tortured.

The process of bamboo shoot growth is the process of the death of the tortured.

The whole process lasts for ten days. The tortured person will suffer in extreme despair and panic. Every day, I endure the pain of bamboo shoots piercing my skin and internal organs.

Sometimes, death is not terrible. What is terrible is the process of going through death.

The death process of decapitation is instantaneous; Ling Chi is three days; It's a full 10 days.

This torture, that's really a panda ordering takeout, and the bamboo shoots are home.

After hearing this, Shang Ming gasped: "This method is poisonous enough." However, it is very suitable to deal with Li Zixing and Jixiao. ”

"Jixiao, the demon monk has a beast's heart. Even the teenage girl didn't let go; Li Zi Province even took the baby in the swaddling clothes to sacrifice Dan. ”

"They deserve it. You immediately punish them. ”

The wind leads the way. To say that this section of high bamboo punishment was learned by Wantong from the envoy of Annam. In the western suburbs of the capital, there is a bamboo forest in Jinyiwei dedicated to the execution of bamboo punishments.

Chang Feng brought Jixiao and Li Zixing to the bamboo forest. Minglux buried the bamboo shoots and fixed the two of them.

Chang Feng told the two of them what it means to be high.

Li Zi immediately peed his pants in fright, and shouted incessantly: "I want to wear a crime and make meritorious service!" ”

"Henan political envoy Gao Zheng embezzled the Yellow River to repair eight thousand taels of silver! I took 3,000 taels to the director in charge of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, the staff outside Lang, and Langzhong! ”

"Li Chengye, the capital of Zhejiang, eats empty salary. Hangzhou Wei's posts, thirty percent were eaten by him! ”

"There is also Wu Jing'an, a waiter in the Criminal Department, who collects and sells stolen goods. Liang Wan, a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, killed seven people at one time in order to forcibly occupy the land, and was arrested in the incident. His family gave Wu Jing'an 3,000 snowflakes of silver and was able to get away with it! ”

Chang Feng instructed Shi Wenyi: "You take a blank booklet and write down everything he says." He's got ten days left before he breathes. He said slowly, you remember slowly! ”

Shi Wenyi said: "Yes." ”

Compared with Lizi Province, Jixiao is quite calm.

He walked to the cemetery and sang a little song, comforting himself in his heart: death is just entering reincarnation. Eighteen years later, he is a good monk again!

Suddenly, he started laughing.

Chang Feng asked: "Jixiao, what's so funny about dying at the end of your life?" ”

Jixiao shouted hysterically: "I have a shocking secret. Be sure to speak before you die! ”

Chang Feng asked, "Oh? What secret? ”

Ji Xiao said: "This secret, only I know in the world!" If you say it, the capital will inevitably set off stormy waves! ”

Chang Feng asked: "What is the secret?" ”

Ji Xiao smiled: "I can only tell you Chang Qianhu alone about this secret." Come here with your ears! ”

Chang Feng couldn't suppress his curiosity, so he had to lean over and put his ear to Jixiao's mouth.

Ji Xiao lowered his voice: "This shocking secret is that sweet bananas and winter dates are eaten together, and they smell of." Hahaha! ”

Ganana, i.e. banana is also. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built the Fuli Palace to collect rare exotic fruit trees in the world, including sweet banana trees.

In the Ming Dynasty, the vassal states of Liangguang and Nanyang often sent Ganjiao tribute to Beijing.

Chang Feng said angrily: "You are fooling me? ”

Ji Xiao smiled: "What about playing with you?" Can you still kill me with one sword? ”

Xu Fatzi interjected: "Master Chang, don't fall for his agitation." He wishes you could give him a good time! ”

Chang Feng instructed Shi Wenyi on the side: "For the past ten days, you are responsible for guarding these two people in the bamboo forest." Mix more ginseng soup in the rice soup to hang your life. ”

"We must let them have enough of the pain of ten days of bamboo shoots piercing their chests."

In the following month, Chang Feng started the crazy home raiding mode.

In addition to copying the homes of Jixiao and Li Zi Province, he also copied a bunch of houses of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods in the capital.

Those monks, Taoist priests, monks, and missionaries were expelled from the capital, and Emperor Hongzhi had already said that "people are driven away, and money is left".

Another group of unforgivable officials who committed heinous crimes in Chenghua were also among the people who were raided.

By the end of the winter of the twenty-third year of Chenghua, with the mansions of the three brothers of the Wan family, Chang Feng led the inspection of thousands of households, and a total of 48 mansions were raided.

A total of 980,000 taels of wealth and goods were discounted.

Emperor Hongzhi never expected that those officials, cows, ghosts, snakes and gods would simply be rich and rival the country.

This injection of wealth greatly improved the financial situation of the imperial court.

Emperor Hongzhi, who was in a good mood, issued an order to praise Chang Feng, the general person in charge of the family. and promoted to the rank of general of Changfeng Wujie.

The military attaché of the Ming Dynasty is linked to the rank.

Changfeng is a thousand households. The first general of Wude. Generally, it takes two years before he can be promoted to the rank of general of Wujie.

After just a few months of being a thousand households, he had to be promoted, and Chang Feng was in the Jinyi Guard for a while.
