The next day, Liu's house.

More than a dozen local wealthy gentry sat in rows, all looking flattering.

Li Qing was also full of kindness, and he looked very good at talking.

Seeing this situation, the rich gentry no longer hesitated, and offered a lot of things, almost all of which were priceless.

Li Qing did not refuse, and accepted all the orders, and the rich gentry was even happier when he saw this.

After eating and drinking, Li Qing got up and said: "The emperor attaches great importance to the Weaving Bureau, and Ben Qincha also hopes that you will cooperate with each other, from now on, all production will be stopped, and the imperial court will buy your looms, silkworms, and workers at market prices;

Also, you should change the mulberry fields into rice fields as soon as possible, and of course, if you find it troublesome, you can transfer most of the mulberry fields to the imperial court, which is better. ”

Li Qing had a righteous face: "It's all for the court, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, and I hope you will fully cooperate!" ”

After a pause, his tone became cold, "If anyone is obsessed, don't blame Ben Qin for not being emotional." ”

The rich gentry were so stunned that they couldn't even believe their ears.

Taking money to do things has been the same since ancient times.

It was the kidnappers, who knew that they would take the ransom and release them, but they really didn't expect that this Li Qincha would be so ruthless.

Li Qing didn't give them a chance to argue, so he ordered the accompanying Jinyi guards to take their belongings and leave.

——

In the guest room.

The rich gentry all looked ugly, their faces were full of anger, they received money but did not do anything, it was the first time they had seen such people.

A rich gentleman was angry, slapped the table, and said angrily: "It's too much of a deception, Lao Wang, or we will kill him." ”

"Never."

Wang Lin's head was as big as an ox, and he was also choked by Li Qing, but he was relatively sober.

He really couldn't bear the consequences of killing Qincha, so he persuaded: "Everyone calm down, if he has a good deal, none of us should think about it, or just rely on him!" ”

"Got him?" Rich Liu said angrily, "How much does Lao Tzu have to lose in a year?" ”

"Yes." Another rich gentleman echoed, and said in an unkind tone, "Old Wang, have you discussed with Qin Cha and slaughtered us?" ”

"Lao Wang, your Wang family is the biggest gentry in our place, if we can't get better, don't think about it."

"Lao Wang, who are you with? If you're in a hurry, all the things you did, Lao Tzu shook them out for you. ”

……

The rich gentry were annoyed, blocking their way to wealth was their life, these people were used to being domineering, and they did not do less to break the law, and they could settle it with money every time, and they didn't take the law of the Ming Dynasty in their eyes at all.

"Killing an official is tantamount to rebellion!" Wang Lin said angrily, "If you dare to touch him, just wait to raid the house!" ”

"It's funny." A rich man was not convinced, "Everyone here, who has never been a big official in his ancestors?"

I think that my old lady back then, his old man killed Qincha, there was no, but in the end he became a big official, as long as the money is in place, what is the injustice? ”

"Yes, this Qin is not good at oil and salt, then let the court send another one, and if you are disobedient, you will die, there will always be obedient people."

"Lao Wang, are you going to do it?"

"I don't do it!" Wang Lin roared, "This is not the Song Dynasty, this is the Ming Dynasty...... Oops, I'm grassy! ”

Wang Lin was dizzy with anger, "You fuck... This is looking for death! ”

"If you don't do it, you have to do it." Rich man Liu sneered, "You collected Lao Tzu's money, and Lao Tzu remembered all the pickled things you did for Lao Tzu." ”

"Yes, when you got the money, Lao Wang, you took the big head, and now you want to get out of the whole body, how can it be so easy?" Another rich gentleman chimed in, "You can't take advantage of all the good things." ”

Wang Lin was so angry that his liver hurt, but his buttocks were not clean, and he didn't dare to tear his face, so he had to persuade: "This is going to lose your head, understand?" ”

"What are you afraid of, the court doesn't know that we did it, as long as we do it in a subtle way."

"That's it, Lao Wang, you are a prefect anyway, why are you so timid?"

Wang Lin nodded helplessly, "It's done, you guys will do it, and I will pay for all the expenses afterwards." ”

After a pause, "If you can't stop it, I'll make up for your one-fifth of the loss, and if the matter is successful, I'll pay you the bribe money, okay?" ”

The rich gentry pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Wang Lin breathed a sigh of relief, "Cheng, then you do it, I will avoid suspicion." ”

……

After listening to the report of the hundred households in brocade, Li Qing thought for a moment, picked up the pen and wrote a letter, and then sealed it with fire paint.

"Eight hundred miles urgently, send someone to Beijing, and ask the emperor to come to the book of the household department, to the matter, the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the marquis Zhang Fu of the new city in my name."

"Tobe Shangshu?" Baihu was stunned and took it, "Don't you immediately notify the commander?" ”

"Not for now." Li Qing said lightly, "Let your subordinates be strict, if this news leaks out......"

He shook the golden token, "Ben Chin Cha has the power of life and death!" ”

Baihu's heart sank, and he arched his hand and said, "Xiaguan will arrange it." ”

"Well, go ahead." Li Qing leaned back on the recliner, a smile on the corner of his mouth.

It's easy to copy the house, but he doesn't have the energy to deal with the follow-up matters, his task is to build a weaving bureau, and the house is just an accident.

The reason why people from so many departments were called was to prevent people from enriching themselves.

Moreover, he looked at this newly promoted commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he didn't look like a good person, so he didn't worry about letting him take the lead in raiding his house alone.

The household department is still a practical person, a record of supervision in the matter, a supervision of the imperial history, and a chubby old man, so that there are also mistakes in the province.

He had a hunch that the wealth he had copied from his family this time was definitely quite amazing.

The urgent need of the treasury is expected to be relieved.

Li Qing didn't have a burden in his heart, most of the money of these rich gentry was deducted from the people, and judging from Jinyiwei's report, they did a lot of evil on weekdays, and they didn't deserve sympathy.

"Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!" Li Qing stretched his waist and changed to a more comfortable position, feeling comfortable.

…………

Seven days later, at midnight.

After the three daughters fell asleep, Li Qing meditated and practiced, keeping his vigilance, and he had been doing so all these days.

With a high degree of mental concentration, his hearing was unusually sharp, and even the small sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves could be heard clearly.

"Rustling ......"

A sound that looked like leaves and footsteps came, and Li Qing slowly opened his eyes.

Li Qing didn't light the lamp, put on an ink-colored robe and walked out of the wing room lightly.

Like the time in the fifteenth year of Hongwu, there was no moon tonight, and there were no fingers in the dark, Li Qing came to the courtyard first, waiting for the killer to come to the door.

Tonight was too good for assassination, and he knew that there would definitely be a big fish on the door.

Sure enough, in just a quarter of an hour, he vaguely saw a vague black shadow crawling over the wall, walking lightly.

Seeing that everyone had entered the hospital, Li Qing no longer hesitated, was angry, and shouted: "Someone! ”

Twenty Jinyi guards patrolled in two shifts outside the courtyard, and when they heard Li Qing's summons, ten Jinyi guards on night duty immediately rushed in with lights.

When they saw a masked man sneaking in, they were all shocked.

"Protect your lordship!"

The seven killers were stunned for a moment, and after a brief moment of stunnedness, they immediately took action.

Unexpectedly, they did not run away, but swarmed towards Li Qing.

"Whoosh ......!"

A brocade guard was quick and released the short crossbow in his sleeve in time, and the two killers couldn't dodge, and they were hit by several arrows and fell to the ground.

At the same time, the remaining five killers also came to Li Qing.

The sharp blade faced the faint light of the lantern, and the cold air was overwhelming, and Li Qing could even see the blue blade clearly.

This is obviously a professional killer, and the dagger is quenched with the poison of blood sealing the throat, as long as ordinary people are stabbed, they can be poisoned if they can't kill them.

It's a pity that they met Li Qing.

Li Qing came first, and punched out before the dagger stabbed, hitting the man's chin with precision.

"Click——!"

The sound of bones shattering rang out, and in an instant, the sound of pain and wails filled the courtyard.

Li Qing moved quickly and ruthlessly, not giving the killer a chance to react at all, and after winning the blow, he immediately shot at the rest of the people again.

"Bang ......"

In just a few seconds, all these killers were released, and their faces showed shock, and then the big knife of the Jinyi guard was placed on their necks.

Li Qing clapped his hands, "Who sent you?" ”

The leader snorted coldly: "Today's grandfather is planted, if you want to kill it, you have to give it a happy one, don't be verbose." ”

Li Qing said lightly, "If you name the employer, the official can be dealt with lightly." ”

"It's a letter that comes out and talks about it." The killer is very compelling, "Taking people's money and eliminating disasters for others is the rule of the Tao." ”

Hearing the words 'take people's money and eliminate disasters for others', Li Qing's face was hot, and then he stepped forward, one counted as one, and one person was rewarded with a big mouth.

"It's a hard mouth, but it doesn't matter." Li Qing smiled and said, "You'll say it soon." ”

After calculating the time, it was estimated that Xia Yuanji and Zhang Fu should be almost there, so he said, "Let Ji Gang come to see me." ”

……

More than half an hour later, Ji Gang, who learned the news, hurried over, and was slightly relieved to see that Li Qing was unharmed.

Hugging his fists, he said, "What does Master Hou command?" ”

Li Qing took out a list and said, "Arrest the people above." ”

Ji Gang nodded and asked, "What should I do after I am arrested, do I kill him, or do I ...... it?" ”

"Take it to the government office, and Benhou will personally decide the case." Li Qingdao said, "Also, fence the homes of these rich gentry." ”

"Hey, okay." Ji Gang licked his lips and asked, "Didn't you raid their house?" ”

"The emperor has sent officials to raid the house." Li Qingdao said, "I will be here soon, in order to avoid suspicion, I also asked Commander Ji not to step into the rich gentleman's house, so as not to be impeached." ”

Ji Gang was stunned, nodded with an ugly face, "Master Hou, where are you talking about this, is Xia Guan like that?" ”

Li Qing smiled and said, "Ben Hou naturally trusts Commander Ji, but you have to avoid suspicion, and you don't want to be picked by Wenchen's eggs, right?" ”

"I ......," Ji Gang said in a muffled voice, "Thank you Lord Hou for your concern." ”

"No thanks, go arrest!" Li Qingdao said, "Only arrest the people on the list, the matter has not yet been determined, the means are milder, and only arrest people." ”

"Understood!"

……

The people who were arrested early in the morning, and at noon, Xia Yuanji and his party arrived.

When it was confirmed that he was about to be able to raid his home, Xia Yuanji flew happily.
