Chapter 111 Customs

"Uncle, go back first, I know what you said."

Ning Jue sent Zhang Juzheng away with a blank expression.

Zhang Juzheng looked at Ning Jue with some uneasiness.

"Brother Ning, the matter is big, and we ......will consider it in the long run."

"Get out!"

Sensing that Ning Jue was on the verge of losing control, Zhang Juzheng wanted to speak but had to get up and leave.

After Zhang Juzheng left, Ning Jue slowly walked out of the Tai Hospital, and then went out of Chengtianmen, directly pushing down the Tai Doctor sent by the cabinet.

Then he returned to the wounded barracks.

Looking at the wounded soldiers in front of him, Ning Jue walked up to the dozen wounded soldiers in the Chengguo Mansion with a blank expression.

"Gentlemen."

"Bingxian, what's wrong with you?"

Ning Jue raised his head mechanically, looked at the dozen or so people in front of him and asked, "If I say that there is a response in the court, you can be trusted?" ”

Hearing this, the few people present stood up with a "poof".

"The DPRK and China should respond?! We've died so many brothers, tell me that there is an internal response in the court?! ”

Ning Jue sat in place.

"But I don't have evidence, Ning Mou can't take his life if he gives it up."

The faces of the fifteen families in the Chengguo Mansion were full of fierce light.

"Just tell us who that beast is."

Ning Jue took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and looked at the people in front of him.

"Tonight, at the door of my house, Ning will go with you!"

Ning Jue reserved time for them, and these people immediately understood, and after Ning Jue left, they hurriedly left the wounded barracks and went straight to the Chengguo Mansion.

They came to hand over the work to the housekeeper of the house, and after handing over the work, they had nothing to do with the Chengguo Mansion anymore.

Only one person walked up to Chen, the wife of Cheng Guotai, and knelt down.

"Mrs. Tai, my husband has a great favor to me, and the little grandfather is now a talent, so I can't make trouble for the house."

With that, the man kowtowed to Mrs. Chen.

The other fourteen people also followed suit, kowtowed to Chen, and got up to leave.

When Ning Jue walked out of the house that night.

Outside the door of his house, there were not only the fifteen people in the Chengguo Mansion, but there were already a hundred and ten men standing together, most of whom were slightly injured.

Because they had heard Ning Jue's words during the day.

In the wounded barracks, in fact, most of them were lightly wounded, and only three were seriously injured, because the ordinary soldiers who were too seriously injured were corpses.

Ning Jue looked at everyone and bowed slightly.

"Ning, the soldiers and civilians who died in the battle of the Xuanfu, the people who have no food and clothing in Liangzhejiang, thank you!"

To be able to come back alive from the battlefield, they have long put life and death aside.

The group went straight to Tao's house, and on the way, several soldiers from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division noticed the strangeness of this group of people.

But he didn't even ask half a word.

Because of this point, they can take so many people from the streets of Beijing to run around, no matter who they are, they can't control it.

Until you finally reach your destination.

What caught Ning Jue's eyes was a street gate similar to his own regulations.

Everyone present had a very tacit understanding, and as soon as they arrived at the door, they directly knocked on the street door of Tao's house.

At the moment when the street door was knocked open, the entire Tao family was in chaos, and soon a family member with a knife and gun rushed towards Ning Jue and the others.

It's just that these people are obviously not the opponents of this hundred-and-ten, who has just killed the red-eyed veteran from the battlefield.

You swung a knife and injured him, and these people didn't even hide, they just came straight to your life, and the gamble was your confession.

Just when everyone was fighting.

Ning Jue casually pulled a family member.

"Where is Tao Shixian?"

The family fell to his knees with a "poof".

"The good man spares his life, and the master is playing chess in the back hall."

Ning Jue walked towards the back hall where Tao Shixian was murderously, except for the street door, the decoration of the entire Tao family was completely different from any one Ning Jue had ever seen.

It was a kind of luxury that came out of the bones.

The hall of the back hall of the Tao family is directly above the four characters of "Emperor Xi" hanging high.

When Ning Jue slammed into the door, Tao Shixian was still holding a sunspot in his hand.

A round table with a chessboard was placed between the two, and the butler of the Tao family was sitting opposite Tao Shixian, who was already too frightened to walk.

"Master, thief...... Ah no, the good guys broke in. ”

Tao Shixian stared at the chessboard and whispered, "I know, the chess is not finished yet." ”

"The little ones don't dare to go down, all the good men spare their lives!"

The housekeeper couldn't care about Tao Shixian anymore, and directly knelt down in front of Ning Jue and the others, and kowtowed again and again.

Looking at the housekeeper who was so frightened that his crotch was already soaked with dirty water, Tao Shixian's face showed disdain from the bottom of his heart.

"Cheap bones, you can't do big things, get out."

"The little ones will get out, and the little ones will get out."

The housekeeper turned his head and left the Tao family, but Tao Shixian pointed at the water in the courtyard.

"Heroes, there is a silver cellar below, and there are ten thousand taels of silver in it, are you heroes willing to divide it?"

"Phew, old thing! At this point, do you still think this matter can be solved with money? ”

Tao Shixian shook his head.

"No, no, it's not that I want you to let me go, but Tao feels that if you don't leave again, I'm afraid that you will be taken away by the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division."

"Tao is over half a hundred years old, and he is enough to slash Tao, and Ning Ke is enough for one person."

"Less fucking rhetoric......"

Ning Jue casually took out a dagger, stuck it on the round table in front of Tao Shixian, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Take the money and go!" All gone! ”

"Ning Bingxian!"

"Don't you understand?! I'll let you divide the money, hurry up! ”

Tao Shixian said from the side: "One hundred taels of ingots, it's very easy to divide, one person can take one ingot and go, don't have a grudge with silver." ”

Only a family member of the Chengguo Mansion stood up and looked at the people behind him: "Everyone, I'll help Bingxian watch outside, you guys go first, if the official errand comes, there will be too many people to leave." ”

As soon as the man said this, the people withdrew from the courtyard to take the money and left.

And in the back hall, only Ning Jue and Tao Shixian were left.

"You and I have been friends for a long time, are you willing to help Tao finish this game of chess?"

Ning Jue stared at Tao Shixian coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to delay time, I advise you to save some effort." ”

Tao Shixian still shook his head, but threw the chess piece back into the chess jar.

"Ke Zhong thought too much, and Tao didn't report to the official, let me guess what Ke Zhong wanted to hear."

"Are you curious why Tao didn't panic?" Tao Shixian glanced at Ning Jue's expression, and then continued to speak with a smile: "Brother Ning can find here, presumably Li Tong found Tao's identity out of nowhere. ”

"After all, it was Tao Mouqi's mistake and he exposed his flaws in Li Tong, and only Li Tong may have exposed flaws."

Ning Jue didn't know how deep the water in the court was, but he knew that once Li Tong's side was exposed, it meant that the last insurance he guaranteed was cut off.

There is no evidence that the captives can't cure Tao Shixian's crimes, but the court opens the sea, and the Tao family can no longer hide, and those powerful people who have been attached to the Tao family will be scattered.

It's useless for Tao Shixian to run away, and there is a bigger net waiting for him on Jiajing's side.

"And you want to quibble?"

Unexpectedly, Tao Shixian smiled as if he was afraid that Ning Jue would not kill him: "Why should I quibble? ”

"Yes, I replied, I put it in from Xuanfu."

"You admit it?"

Ning Jue never expected Tao Shixian to admit it so happily.

"Why not? I can't sit idly by and watch Taojia Mountain run out. ”

"Do the people of Xuanfu deserve it?!"

"A group of untouchables, dead and dead, do not know how to educate, like weeds, in another twenty years, the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty are densely populated, what a pity! Yu only hated his father, when he was the governor of Liangguang, why didn't he see that he Guo Xun was two-faced and stabbed, and accepted the money of my Tao family, but he didn't do anything! and he, Lin Fu, didn't even give the Xie family face. ”

"Be killed, and all the bad things should be killed early!"

"Guo Xun?" Ning Jue raised his eyebrows and looked at Tao Shixian with some doubts, but Tao Shixian at this time looked at Ning Jue with an excited face.

"At that time, there was a Yuan Yi Muyi, Guo Xun and Wang Hong, the two reckless men, actually fought a naval battle in Tuen Mun and drove Yi Di out, and they were clearly here to do business......"

Tao Shixian's voice did not fall.

When I landed outside the door, there was a sound of "dang chang".

The silver ingot in the hands of a family member in the Chengguo Mansion fell to the ground.

"You mean, it was your father who put the Franc machine man ashore in the first place?!"

Tao Shixian turned his head in surprise, and saw a big man standing outside the door staring at him with scarlet eyes.

"yes? I'm here to talk to Kezhong, do you have a part to speak? There are no rules, get out. ”

"It's your father who put the Franc machine man ashore...... Good, good! ”

Without waiting for Ning Jue to speak, the big man rushed up with an arrow, snatched the dagger from Ning Jue's hand and stabbed Tao Shixian in the chest with a knife.

While stabbing, he couldn't help but scold angrily: "Old brute! Lao Tzu can finally slaughter you with his own hands today! ”

"Lao Tzu is from Tuen Mun! The Franco-man took people ashore and forced my father to build a fort for them, beat my father to death on the fort, and robbed the people in our village as slaves and maids. ”

"My mother took me and the villagers to walk for six months to Jingshi to sue the emperor, and none of the yamen dared to accept our situation, if it weren't for my husband, I would have starved to death on the streets of Beijing! You say they're here to do business?! ”

Tao Shixian's chest was not long in a few bloody holes, although the blood flowed like an infusion, although there were doubts in his eyes, the corners of his mouth were a little like a sacrifice that had just been completed.

In the end, Tao Shixian used all his strength, looked at the big man with a smile, and squeezed out two words from the corners of his mouth.

"Untouchables."

Tao Shixian's last expression was as if he had finally taken the last step.

Listening to the scolding of the family, Ning Jue, who was standing on the side, roughly figured out the history of the Tao and Xie families.

At the end of Zhengde, Guo Xun, Marquis of Wuding, was in charge of Liangguang, and Wang Feng inspected the Guangdong Seaway.

Jiajing changed the yuan, Guo Xun returned to Beijing to take charge of the 12th regiment battalion, to Jiajing explained to Jiajing the situation of burning and looting at the mouth of the Pearl River, the high-spirited Jiajing caught a soft persimmon, and immediately ordered Wang Feng to start a war, which was called the Battle of Tuen Mun, and the Ming Dynasty imitated the Franc machine gun from then on.

It's just that after the Battle of Tuen Mun, Wang Hong, Guo Xun and others were successively transferred north and appointed, and the political envoy of Guangdong Zuobu was also replaced by Xie Qian, Xie Wenzhenggong's younger brother Xie Di, and the governor of Liangguang became Tao Shixian's Laozi Tao Harmonic, and the Francophone was able to go ashore again.

This is destined to be a situation that no one will dare to accept, and even if it does, it is useless.

Jiajing, who didn't even sit on the throne at that time, was busy asking Xie Qian to re-enter the cabinet to help him stand on the platform, who would dare to impeach the younger brother of the first assistant of the cabinet?

The old foxes can ignore the small people on the margins, but it is impossible for the small people to avoid the influence of the temple in their lives.

The big man looked at Tao Shixian, who had been stabbed into a sieve on the ground, and then gasped and cried.

"Daddy, our family's revenge has been avenged!"

Listening to the man's cry, Ning Jue also took the things he could get at hand and slashed down on Tao Shixian's corpse.

One time.

Two clicks.

Ning Jue's expression became more and more numb.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, only Ning Jue knew what happened later.

The people of Tuen Mun did not let the Francophile people gain a foothold in Tuen Mun, and in the end, the Francophile people chose a sparsely populated peninsula not far from Tuen Mun.

And the name of that place is Macau.

Even Ning Jue knew that this was most likely the inevitable result after Zhu Houzhao's death.

After the Buddha machine man put a heavy bet on Jiang Bin and lost everything, he colluded with the Tao and Xie families through the introduction of the Japanese Kou in the southeast.

That's why Xie Di and Tao Harmonic were transferred to Liangguang.

The waves of the Great Voyage crashed head-on into the arms of the southeast family.

Until the end, Ning Jue was panting and standing in place, and then picked up the silver ingot that was thrown away by the man from the ground.

"Run."

"It has nothing to do with that." Ning Jue took a deep breath before he spoke: "Go home, I'll take the blame." ”

"Bingxian, I killed people, and it has nothing to do with you."

"It's okay, this is what the court owes you."

The big man hesitated for a moment, and finally had to get up, silently took the silver ingot, and then got up and disappeared into the Tao family's mansion.

Ning Jue wiped the fine sweat on his forehead.

He kicked Tao Shixian's corpse on the ground contemptuously, and then picked up the teapot next to him and took a sip of tea.

It's just that after drinking tea, Ning Jue noticed that in Tao Shixian's cuffs, a framed notebook was revealed, as if Tao Shixian had already prepared it for him to see on purpose.

Ning Jue picked up the notebook on the ground.

only to find that it was a copy of Weng Wanda's preparation for the imperial court, but it had not yet been sent to the cabinet.

When Ning Jue saw the contents of the playbook clearly through the blood stains, he discovered a misunderstanding that had always been a mistake in the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs.

The Ming Dynasty is no longer two Song Dynasty, not only the Ming family is going to sea privately, but the families of various states are also going to sea privately, and the city ship division, which can only serve the official trade, cannot solve the problem of the Ming Dynasty.

The city is only an eye stretched out to the sea by the court, and only behemoths like Tao and Xie who are hiding in the sea can be seen.

What the Ming Dynasty needed was a brand new yamen.

A government office that has never existed since ancient times, only related to the city and not in the city.

This office will make it impossible for all the powerful people who go to sea, big or small, to hide.

The transcript does not give a name to this unmarketed government office.

All are referred to as salaries.

And this provocate will also receive a new name in future generations.

- Customs.

Tao Shixian wants to pull everyone into the water!
