Chapter 131: The Feast and the Lackeys 1
Only by killing people can you be powerful.
This is the eternal truth summed up by the old man.
The white knife goes in, the red knife comes out, and a life is lost.
It's not difficult to kill people, it's rare to kill the right person, if you want to make the official afraid, you have to kill the person who is also an official. Then if you want the people to be afraid, it's the same reason.
In order to keep the mouths of those who despise Dongchang shut, Xu Ruyi decided to kill some people, which can be regarded as an example of killing chickens and monkeys. But this person can't be killed casually, after all, there are still Hong Wuye's eyes on the top of his head, and without his acquiescence, he will bite and frame at will, which is to kill himself. So what kind of killing can make Hong Wuye less disgusted, and at the same time be able to stand up?
The answer is ...
Merchant!
Among civilians, Zhu Yuanzhang has always had a bad impression of businessmen, and the main reason is that he holds grudges. As for the hardships and helplessness of his childhood, he believes that it is all because of the tyranny of corrupt officials and the unkindness of profiteers and tycoons.
Therefore, Xu Ruyi felt that it was most appropriate to kill a few businessmen, and by the way, he could also make some money for Dongchang, after all, it was not appropriate to always take money from Zhu Yuanzhang's inner treasury.

As soon as the sky was bright, Zhang Million, the old owner of the rich pawnshop, stood in front of the gate of his house with a few entourage. The eyebrows were raised, the green tendons on the forehead were bursting up, and a horsewhip in his hand slapped his palm from time to time, making a "pop" sound.
"Master, don't be too angry, it's a big injury, young master, he's just... β
"Shut up. β
"Yes. The old butler sighed and stepped aside.
In fact, the old housekeeper also understands the old man Zhang Million in his heart, and persuasion is just his duty as a housekeeper. If he were the master, he would probably not be holding a horsewhip, but a knife.
Zhang Million is not a righteous businessman who accumulates kindness and righteousness, but he has not done anything treacherous and evil. To have today's wealth is all due to his discerning eyes and God's blessing. But this insight can help him recognize treasures and make money, but it can't help him recognize people. If he could, he would have strangled his son to death directly on the day he saw him, saving him a bad heart all day long, and he also gave his son the name of Zhang Dongliang.
"Sister's feet ~ pointed and small ~, there is a white jade bird embroidered on it~, brother, I have the heart to catch it~, gott~, it flew again~" Bald tongue, Zhang Dongliang hummed obscene words that he didn't know where he learned, and he got out of the alley he didn't know where he went, and his clothes were messy, and he didn't know where he went last night.
"Dad, morning, hiccups, morning. Zhang Dongliang glanced at the people in front of his house in confusion, and vaguely recognized his father.
"Which secret door have you been to again?" the old man's voice was already a little trembling.
"Who said I went to Widow Qian?" Zhang Dongliang denied it, and then laughed and said: "I went to the Fugui Gambling House, and if I was lucky, I lost thirty taels of silver~"
"Son, son, you said that I have a son like you, who are you working for and who are busy in this life. Zhang Million shook his head and sighed lightly, tears were about to fall, he stretched out his hand and shook the horsewhip in his hand, and the whip hit the ground with a "snap": "Give me this evil barrier, Lao Tzu can't afford to live today!"
"Yes. Two strong people, one on the left and one on the right, sandwiched Zhang Dongliang in the middle, with solemn expressions.
"Sir. The housekeeper hesitated for a moment, and then persuaded him two more words.
"Get out. Zhang Million snorted coldly, then his hand whipped down, and with a snap, a bloody willow appeared on Zhang Dongliang's face.
"I... "Xu was numb from drinking last night, Zhang Dongliang didn't react for a while, and raised his hand and touched his face in a daze...
"Ah!!h Whip after whip, Zhang Dongliang, who was whipping, screamed again and again, wanting to run, but there were people on both sides of the clip, unable to run, struggling desperately, but it was useless.
"Smack!" "Smack!"
The old man cried and scolded while smoking: "What kind of evil has Lao Tzu done in his life? β
"Your mother left early, I am bent on letting you have a good future, you are good, eh? Eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, which one you don't touch?"
"Lao Tzu also understands that this big family business will have to defeat you when I die, rather than this, it is better for Lao Tzu to kill you directly, and I can also leave a good reputation for my old Zhang family!"
"Smack!" "Smack!"
Zhang Million scolded, Zhang Dongliang shouted, it was still early, there was no one on the street, and the cry was particularly poignant.
"Sir, sir. You are angry. The housekeeper's reason for blocking this time made some sense: "If you want to fight, go in and fight again, outside... It's a shame. β
"What kind of face do Lao Tzu want!" Zhang Million looked at each other angrily: "I don't want my son to have face?!"
The whip was more than a shadow, and it fell even harder.
"Zhang Million, my son doesn't want it anymore, but really, how about I come to Dongchang to help you?" After a light drink, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, Xu Ruyi and Yun Zheng sat on the horse, followed by three hundred Dongchang fans, from far to near, and in a moment, they gathered in front of the Zhang family's mansion.
Zhang Million stopped the whip in his hand and frowned.
"Daddy... After receiving a whip from his father, although Zhang Dongliang was in unbearable pain, he was almost awake from the wine, and at this moment, seeing such a big formation, he was a little scared, and called softly.
Zhang Million waved his hand: "You send the young master in first." β
Then he took two steps forward and arched his hand: "Father-in-law of the East Factory, below... β
"Zhang Million, we know. Xu Ruyi pushed the mask on his face, interrupted Zhang Million's words, and stretched out his hand to point at Zhang Dongliang, who had not yet walked in the door: "Stop, you are the protagonist of today, where are you going?"
The two family members who were supporting Zhang Dongliang glanced at each other, stayed in place for a while, not knowing how to advance or retreat, Zhang Dongliang turned his head to look at Xu Ruyi and Yun Zheng on the horse, and was stunned and did not speak.
"This father-in-law. Zhang Million arched his hand and wanted to speak, Xu Ruyi waved his hand: "Don't, today our family is just accompanying the commander of my East Factory, and you still have to talk to him about something." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Yun Zheng beside him.
Yun Zheng was dressed in a red brocade robe, sitting on a horse, with a complicated expression. There is joy, there is anger, there is joy, and there is sadness.
"This, Commander. Zhang Million tilted his head with a respectful smile on his face: "You are stepping on the ground, I don't know what you are doing when you come today?"
Yun Zheng ignored it, still staring at Zhang Dongliang at the door.
Long.
"Ah!" Zhang Dongliang exclaimed in surprise, stretched out his hand and pointed at Yun Zheng: "You, you areγγγ you are!"
"Yes. Yun Zheng nodded and chuckled: "Zhang Gongzi recognized our family, but it seems that he has forgotten the name of our family? β
The voice was suddenly cold, with bitter hatred: "Our family Yun Zheng is now the commander of the East Investigation Factory. Zhang Gongzi has Yaxing, guess what our family is doing here today?"
"Yun Zheng!" Zhang Dongliang's eyes rolled, and at this moment, he fainted.
"Not good. Zhang Million's heart sank in front of the horse.
There are all kinds of signs in front of me that I am afraid that this kind of fan of Dongchang is not good. Although he has nothing to do with him, but listening to the meaning of the words of the commander of the East Factory in front of him, I am afraid that his stupid son has done something to provoke others.
"Let's break the wealth and avoid disasters," Zhang Million sighed secretly.
To be a businessman in the Ming Dynasty, you must have the consciousness of being slaughtered at any time and being a fat sheep.
"Lord Yun. Zhang Million bowed his head: "I don't know what mistake the dog made, offended the adult, although he is just a businessman, but he also knows the number of etiquette, what is the matter, can you invite the two adults into the house to talk, and later have their own gifts." β
"Zhang Million, right... Yun Zheng lowered his head and said leisurely: "Your son has indeed offended me, but the offense is a little ruthless, the kind that never stops, it's not three or two small money, a few soft words can be turned over." β
"Lord Yun!" Zhang Million pounced and knelt on the ground: "That evil beast doesn't know what happened, but my Zhang family is the only seedling, please... β
"Enough. Yun Zheng shouted angrily, and then ordered loudly, "Someone!"
"Please command, your Excellency. All the fans responded in unison.
"Zhang Million's family is suspected of participating in the Lan Yu reversal case, and they have copied this broken house to our family, and they will wait for others to be escorted back to our Dongchang Imperial Prison, handed over to the Yin Law Division for interrogation, and then make other discussions!"
"Yes!" the crowd shouted in response, and then lined up, each holding a rope and shackles in his hand, and rushed towards the courtyard of Zhang's mansion.
"My lord, my lord!" Zhang Million is just a businessman, where has he ever seen such a scene, under the six gods without a master, he had to kneel on the ground and kowtow again and again, "bang", and his forehead was bruised in a moment.
It's a pity that the old man's helpless begging can't stop the wolf-like pace of the fans, nor can it impress Yun Zheng's iron-hearted heart forged by hatred and anger.
"Ahhh
"Who are you?"
"Help!
"Master, what about the nursing home, the nursing home?"
With the rampage of the fans in the house, the chickens and dogs in Zhang's mansion jumped, and there was a big chaos.
"Oh, yes, our family was negligent. Xu Ruyi chuckled, and casually pointed to an entourage beside him and ordered: "Tell the brothers inside that if there is resistance, it will not be punished." β
"Yes!"
Three or four screams rang out and then stopped abruptly.
"People, that's it, you don't know the truth if you don't see a little blood, how do you say the old saying?"
Yun Zheng responded: "If you don't see the coffin, you won't cry." β
That's it. Xu Ruyi nodded.
For more than an hour, more than 40 people in Zhang's mansion were led by the fans, slowly walked out of the door, stumbled and broke in, crying and crying, and a few people still had blood stains on their bodies, and people, like a string of grasshoppers, were tied together by a long rope. As for Zhang Million's father and son, they were not tied up under Yun Zheng's care, but directly brought wooden shackles and shackles.
After this effort, a group of ordinary people surrounded the three layers and the outer three floors, pointing and discussing.
"Governor, commander, there are a total of forty-seven people in the Zhang Mansion, six have died, and the remaining forty-one people have all been detained here by the brothers, please show the two adults. β
Xu Ruyi's eyes closed slightly, and he stretched out his hand to point at Yun Zheng beside him. And Yun Zheng, his eyes were red, staring at a woman in the rope, as if he hadn't heard Fanzi's words.
"Huh?" Xu Ru didn't move, opened his eyes, and looked at Yun Zheng's gaze again, and couldn't help sighing: "If you have any new ideas now, our family... Support you. β
Dongchang made such a big battle today, if Yun Zheng suddenly changed his mind at this moment and wanted to come to a "different side of the sky", then Dongchang would really become a joke.
The Overseer smiled. Yun Zheng came back to his senses and shook his head gently: "For the sake of the ancestors of the Yun family, Yun Zheng's revenge must also be avenged." β
Plainly recounted, Yun Zheng turned his head: "Escort a cadre of criminals back to the East Factory for interrogation, and bring back the property confiscated by the Zhang Mansion to the East Factory, don't move it first." Zhang Xiaoyu. β
"Humble duty, please command. "A fan came out of the crowd.
"After a while, you will lead a team of people to the pawnshop of this million-dollar family, and copy them together. Calculate the two pieces of money, and give twenty percent to the brothers who are working, and give the rest to the account office. β
"Humble and commanded, thank you for your grace. Zhang Xiaoyu agreed, stretched out his hand and pointed: "You, you, you, and a few of you, come with me." β
"Yes!"
When all the fans heard that there was a reward, they all looked happy.
"Governor and slow!" suddenly came from the crowd.
"Huh?" Xu Ruyi and Yun Zheng glanced at each other strangely: "As soon as the knife was raised, someone gave someone a head, there are so many fools in the world?"
Turning the horse's head again, he saw a dark-skinned man squeezed out of the crowd.
I saw that this Chinese character was eight feet tall, with big shoulders and a round waist, a dignified appearance, sharp edges and corners, a pair of big eyes like cold stars, and a pair of thick eyebrows like a paint brush. With an open mind, a broad chest, strong bones, and a beard, it is like a lion who shakes the sky and descends to the earth. Carrying a dragon stick on his back, two big hands of the big pu fan with green tendons burst out, hanging on both sides of the body.
"What a high-spirited man. Xu Ruyi secretly praised in his heart, this appearance, at first glance, is a simple and bold hero, if he shaves his head, he will be the lone star Lu Zhishen in the book!
"That man, what do you want to stop our house?" was impressed, and Xu Ruyi had a rare warmth when he spoke.
"Uh... The big black man scratched his head, but there was a hint of flushing on his face, and he was silent.
"Could it be that you just said that you just said that you were just playing with our family?" asked Xu Ruyi leaning over immediately.
"Hey. The big black man stomped his feet violently, gritted his teeth, took three steps back, knelt on his knees, and said loudly: "Villain... The villain didn't know what to say either. The villain has nowhere to show his martial arts, and he wants to invest in the East Factory, and he is willing to be the lackey of the Overseer's door, Goshawk, and please take it in!"
After saying that, the big black man slammed his head on the ground and made a "bang" sound, revealing such a sincere energy.
