"Of course the acting is for you to see, and then it will be relayed to the emperor through your mouth." King Jin laughed and said: "Aren't you being fooled by their collusion? Then you will report it to your father, and you will see
Father's reaction.
"If my father doesn't want to cause chaos and chooses to believe it, then throw out a few scapegoats to calm him down so that the court can have a way out and the matter will be revealed.
"If my father refuses to be spared, don't be afraid. It's been ten years since the founding of the country, and we can't massacre the city. If the law doesn't punish everyone, most people will be fine. At least those in the big households can't be held accountable."
Three-hole Ruo Guanhuo Tao:
"As long as we can abolish the Shipping Department, even if the price is higher, it's still worth it. Anyway, it's not their big players who pay the price."
"Really, is this true?" Liu Ying was dumbfounded.
"Eighty percent of it is like this. The entire city of Suzhou is a community of interests." King Jin said solemnly: "If you look at them as a whole, all the incomprehensible things can be explained."
"This..." Liu Ying pondered for a while, then Fang said horrifiedly: "It's true."
"No, it's not a whole group. Some people are just being sentimental." Lao Liu said resolutely: "Those big families make the poor people mistakenly think that they are in the same group. In fact, it is not the case at all - the poor are too stupid to be fooled.
After the big seller sold it, he helped count the money."
"You're absolutely right!" Lao San patted Lao Liu on the shoulder. He felt that his sixth brother was the most sober in the world. He could see all problems more clearly than others. Therefore, he could hit the nail on the head.
"The big families first used them as tools to make trouble, and then 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, the law does not punish the public. So the big families are not afraid -
—They were sure they could escape."
"Well, they will definitely not be directly involved in this kind of thing." Even Liu Ying understood the point and said: "We just need to arrange a few suitable people to pass the message on their behalf, and then let those people go away.
, we will never be able to trace them."
"Normally speaking, this is the case, but I, the king, do not need evidence." The elegant and suave His Highness Prince Jin suddenly gave a terrifying and cruel smile:
"It will be useless to let them exhaust all their agencies. I want them to see what it means to conquer ten societies with one force!"
~~
At noon, the group arrived at the foot of Suzhou City.
Under the Lou family, Li Heng, the magistrate of Suzhou, Xie Ding, the commander of the Suzhou Guards, and Guo magistrates of Wu County and Changzhou County led all the gentry in the city to meet him.
When the two highnesses came closer, the drums and music immediately started to play, and the band played "Yinfeng Diao". Li Heng and Xie Ding led everyone to bow down. It was very similar to the welcome ceremony in Zhenjiang Mansion.
The two highnesses wore frosty masks and showed no false welcome to the place.
After four bows, Li Heng and others could not hear the two highnesses saying "flat body", so they could only kneel on the ground in embarrassment, not daring to raise their heads.
The two brothers looked coldly at the Suzhou officials and gentry who were kneeling on the ground. They knew that despite their submissive and honest appearance, in fact, they were full of disdain and did not take the two brothers to heart at all.
"Let them fool them this time, and no one will dare to touch them again." The third child whispered to the sixth child, and then said to Xie Ding: "Thank you for your command, please get back on your feet first."
"Yes." Xie Ding stood up immediately.
"Arrest all the gentry present." Then His Highness King Jin gave an earth-shattering order.
"Yes!" Xie Ding didn't hesitate at all, and immediately ordered his soldiers to take action, arresting all the gentry who were so surprised that they were stunned.
Xie Ding is the youngest son of Yongping Hou Xie Cheng and the brother-in-law of His Royal Highness Prince Jin...
"Let us go, why are you arresting us?!" It wasn't until their hands were cut off that a group of wealthy people in Suzhou woke up from a dream. While struggling hard, they protested loudly: "Your Highness, you can't do this to us!"
"Who do you think you are? Just like dogs!" His Highness Prince Jin trampled on their dignity with contempt on his face.
"Your Highness, what are you doing?" Li Heng and the two county magistrates were also stunned. They looked helplessly at the wolf-like officers and soldiers, and turned the arrogant and arrogant big businessmen who usually followed orders around like little chickens.
His hands were tied behind his back.
In order to humiliate them, Lao San 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 with their waists hunched over, like women with small feet.
Lao San euphemistically called it ‘Lotus grows every step of the way’.
Lao Liu couldn't help feeling that when it came to torturing people, Third Brother was simply a master.
"What are you doing?!" King Jin pointed the finger at Li Heng and the two county magistrates again.
"They are the masterminds behind this rebellion. Do you want to speak for them?"
Li Heng and the others hurriedly said they didn't dare.
All the wealthy people were shocked at first, thinking how did he know? But they soon came to their senses and realized that King Jin was deceiving them.
They all shouted "Unjust"!
"Produce evidence, otherwise it will be slander!" The big investors protested loudly:
"Many of our Wu people are officials in the capital. If you accuse good people like this, they will definitely report it to the emperor!"
"Huh, troubled times require heavy rituals, you have no chance." His Highness the King of Jin sneered and said with murderous intent: "Father has lost patience with the troubles that have occurred in Suzhou several times. I am determined to kill a group of people and return Suzhou to the waste.
A bright future!"
As he said that, he looked at Li Heng and the other three with unkind eyes and said, "I know that you have received their benefits, so you have a lot of cover."
Naturally, the three of them burst into tears and swore to heaven that they were loyal to the imperial court and would not protect them.
"Then prove it to me!" The third child pulled out a list from his sleeve. The sixth child had previously ordered Shen Liu Niang to investigate the big families in Jiangnan, and she knew all the big families in Suzhou.
The third child handed the list to Li Heng and said:
"There are still many wealthy gentry who haven't come to greet us. You can take this list and go door to door to invite them. If you can't be invited, you three can use yourselves to make up for it!"
"Yes." The three of them responded fearfully. Now we are poor Taoist friends who have no regard for the life and death of those big families.
"Put them in prison." His Royal Highness the King of Jin finally ordered: "They will be questioned tomorrow."
"Yes, ah..." Li Heng and the others couldn't help but exclaimed again.
All the wealthy families felt as if they were mourning for their heirs, and some people fainted on the spot.
Of course, there were some who were very stubborn. They kept yelling and cursing until they were loaded into the prison van and transported to the Suzhou Guard Camp.
When the people along the way saw that a big family with a high reputation was being insulted like this, they were naturally filled with indignation. They cursed the court loudly and shouted for them to let him go.
His Highness the King of Jin turned a deaf ear to this. If they had the ability, they would rob the prison car. If they didn't, they would just scold him. After all, they would have to have a tael of meat.
He continued to issue orders on his own, ordering the government to continue arresting people...
The target this time is the gangs and evil forces in Suzhou City.
