Chapter 125 Blood-stained Jining City 【Seeking Monthly Pass】
While kowtowing, Wang Guan shouted: "I am willing to tell who is responsible for plotting against the governor. I can testify, and I also ask the governor to spare my life!"
Chen Li's eyes narrowed. Although he had already expected it, when he saw Wang Guan kneeling in front of Chu Yi as he worried, Chen Li still couldn't help but his heart sank and said angrily: "Wang Guan, how dare you,
Aren’t you afraid that adults will destroy your entire family?”
Wang Guan's eyes were red, and he turned around and shouted at Chen Li: "Does Lu Wenyang think that he can stay out of the matter after we fail? Does he really think that Governor Chu is a fool and can't guess that he is the mastermind behind it?"
Chen Li pointed at Wang Guan and became furious. He immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood and fainted from anger.
A cold light flashed in Chu Yi's eyes. Sure enough, after noticing the anomaly on the canal, Chu Yi began to guess who was plotting against him.
There are only a few people who can control the gangs on this canal to their advantage, and the only one is Lu Wenyang, the governor of canal transportation.
Although the Governor of Water Transport may be seen as just a local official, his control of the entire water transport means that most of the Grand Canal, the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty, is in his hands. He only has the power to mobilize troops along the canal. He may be able to mobilize one or two guard posts privately.
, but if it is large-scale, it must be approved by the Ministry of War and the Fifth Military Governor's Office. In addition, the deployment of official ships in the entire Grand Canal is under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Water Transport.
That's all outside the Grand Canal, but everyone who relies on this Grand Canal for their livelihood can be said to be directly or indirectly affected by the Governor of Water Transport.
Otherwise, how could those unruly gangs be so easy to talk to and sit still with tens of millions of taels of silver? It's not that they don't want to, but that they don't dare to be the ones who stand out.
"What a Lu Wenyang, he even dares to scheme against the Governor. This time, his family will be confiscated and his clan will be destroyed!"
Cao Shaoqin said in a murderous voice.
This time, Cao Shaoqin almost lost his life. He almost fell into the hands of those first-class players. If he hadn't practiced the Sunflower Book, other first-class experts would have been surrounded and killed.
"Lord Governor, please spare my life, and I can testify against Lu Wenyang for you..."
Chu Yi glanced at Wang Guan indifferently and said, "I want to kill him, Lu Wenyang, do I still need you to testify?"
While speaking, Chu Yi said: "Cao Shaoqin, Fang Li, and the others will stay behind to unload the silver coins onto ships and load them into trucks, and assist Gao Feng in guarding and escorting them to the capital."
Gao Feng narrowed his eyes. Guarding the Grand Canal is not without its benefits. One is sufficient oil and water, and the other is well-informed. Others do not know it. However, not long ago, several murders that Chu Yi crazily caused in Jiangnan have reached Gao Feng's ears.
.
Gao Feng didn't expect that Chu Yi would be so ruthless and decisive, even when he suddenly heard about it, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
If not, how could Gao Feng immediately mobilize his troops and sneak out of Jining City day and night after receiving Chu Yi's request for help? After all, Gao Feng was suppressed by Chu Yi's ruthless methods.
.
"Brother Chu, are you preparing..."
Chu Yi got on his horse, swung his cloak, smiled coldly at Gao Feng and said, "Chu is going to kill someone!"
Seeing the murderous intent deep in Chu Yi's eyes, Gao Feng couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and tried his best to show a smile and said to Chu Yi: "Brother Chu Yi, just go ahead. With our family here, Wen Yin will be safe and sound."
Cao Shaoqin is not bad in strength, Fang Li is even more thoughtful, and with Gao Feng commanding an army, in broad daylight, unless some people really want to rebel, he really doesn't have to worry about this land route.
Someone can steal the silver.
"Shi Kui, Chu Fang, and Qi Hu, gather their troops and follow this governor to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan!"
"yes!"
Following Chu Yi's order, Shi Kui directly ordered his troops. After the previous melee, nearly 30% of his elite troops had been lost. In addition to the nearly 100 dead, there were still dozens of injured, but they were still capable of fighting.
There are still more than 300 people.
More than three hundred people suddenly stood up and lined up neatly in the blink of an eye. Qi Hu and Shi Kui directly took Wang Guan with them, while Chen Li and others headed straight for Jining City.
Jining City relies on the Grand Canal. Although it is not as prosperous as Yangzhou and Hangzhou, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, it is much more prosperous than many cities in the north.
When the rumble of horse hoofbeats rushed into Jining City, the peace of Jining City was broken. Shi Kui personally led the team, and the criminals Wang Guan, Du Wen and more than a dozen Jining family members were arrested.
Chu Yi personally led people to search his house, and more than 200,000 taels of silver were confiscated from the house of Wang Guan, the prefect of Jining. You must know that he has only been in office for three years, and he actually saved hundreds of thousands of dollars by relying on the Grand Canal.
Net worth.
As for the Jining garrison Du Wen's house, he also confiscated more than 100,000 taels of silver. However, compared to the prefect Wang Guan, Du Wen's house did not have much silver, but the Du family owned more than 30,000 acres of farmland.
It is said that most of the fertile land around Jining is in the hands of these people.
All Jining Prefecture officials including the prefect, garrison, tongzhi, general magistrate, prefectural magistrate, prefectural magistrate, professor and other officials were captured. The families of these people all had at least tens of thousands of taels of silver, and the total acres of land exceeded more than ten thousand acres.
.
As for the shops and restaurants in Jining City, almost 30% are under the names of these more than ten officials.
When it got daylight, the huge city of Jining seemed to wake up from its deep sleep. However, when these people started a new day as usual, they found a group of government officials passing by beating gongs and drums.
"Wang Guan, the prefect of Jining, Du Wen and other officials from the garrison led their troops to attack the imperial envoys with the intention of treason. They will confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans. At three o'clock in the afternoon, they will behead them in public to serve as a warning to all parties and serve as a warning to others!"
Wherever these government officials went, everyone who heard the news was stunned. It was as if the whole city of Jining had changed overnight.
A butcher looked in astonishment, holding a knife and saying to a customer opposite: "I didn't hear wrong, right? Lord Magistrate, Lord Guard, they are going to be beheaded?"
The man opposite also had a dull look on his face, slapped his face and said: "An illusion, it must be an illusion!"
However, when the yamen officer looked at the gong and announced that the sound from all directions had not gone away, he could clearly hear it. Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but rush to the execution ground.
At this time, at the execution ground of Jining City, there were hundreds of people, headed by Jining Magistrate Wang Guan, guard Du Wen and others, plus the family members of several families. The execution ground of Jining City was completely packed.
.
At this time, many people had gathered around the execution ground and came to watch the excitement. At first, everyone did not believe it. After all, they had never heard of killing most of the officials in the city at once, but when they arrived
When they were at the execution ground, they saw with their own eyes the high-ranking magistrate Wang Guan, guard Du Wen and others kneeling there in utter embarrassment. Everyone was dumbfounded.
"Oh my god, it's really the prefect and the garrison. They are not really going to attack the imperial envoy's honor guard!"
Among the crowd, several literati looked extremely ugly when they saw the magistrate, guard and others being held in custody on the execution ground. As literati, they were naturally well-informed, unlike these common people who didn't know what was going on.
.
Not long ago, they heard the news that Chu Yi went on a killing spree in the south of the Yangtze River and massacred the literati. After hearing the notices from the government officials, these literati suddenly realized that they believed that the reason why the prefect Wang Guan and others attacked the imperial envoys was
He wanted to kill the eunuch Chu Yi.
But looking at this situation, it is obvious that Wang Guan and others failed.
"This damn eunuch has killed so many people in Jiangnan, and now he wants to go on a killing spree in Jining City. Is he going to fight all the way back to the capital?"
"It's such a pity, Lord Magistrate and the others. It seems that they will not be able to escape this time!"
Chu Yi looked down at Wang Guan, and Du Wen and others said: "You are really worthy of the emperor. You can only count more than a dozen companies, but you have copied as much as five to six hundred thousand taels of silver, more than 50,000 acres of land, and dozens of shops and restaurants.
There are so many families, this is how you serve as officials, is this how you serve the emperor?"
After some literati quietly spread the word, many people knew about Chu Yi's evil name. Almost everyone instinctively had no good impression of the eunuch. As a result, many people actually sympathized with Wang Guan, Du Wen and others. Now that they heard about it,
The people were all dumbfounded by what Chu Yi said about the huge amount of corruption committed by Wang Guan and the others. The crowd was immediately furious. Many people even picked up stones and debris on the ground and threw them at Wang Guan on the execution ground.
Wait for someone to smash it over.
For these ordinary people, even one tael of silver pattern is their monthly expenses in their eyes. Now Chu Yi actually told them that hundreds of thousands of taels of silver pattern were confiscated from the homes of more than a dozen people in Wang Guan. So much silver pattern
Where does it come from? Even a fool knows that it comes from greed.
"Corrupt officials, corrupt officials!"
"Kill them, kill them!"
Suddenly, the shouts of killing Wang Guan, Du Wen and the others were loud. Even some of the literati who had previously helped Wang Guan and the others say good things and smeared Chu Yi were startled and hurriedly
He ran away for fear of being killed by a fish in the pond.
Chu Yi looked at Wang Guan and others who looked pale with a bit of disdain, twisted up the token and threw it out: "Everyone, please go on your way, remember not to be a corrupt official in the next life!"
Wang Guan and others struggled fiercely one by one and cursed: "Grudge, you will die a good death!"
Heads rolled down one after another, and Jining City changed color.
Overnight, more than 30% of Jining City's officialdom was slaughtered by Chu Yi. It can be said that eighty-seven officials above the eighth rank died, leaving only a handful of officials and staff with good reputations.
In addition to the chief Fei Xi, there were more than a dozen people at the Jining Chengdong Factory stronghold. Chu Yi personally used the soul-moving method to select three people who had been bribed and cleaned up the stronghold.
In addition to the cash being escorted out of the city and handed over to Gao Feng, Cao Shaoqin and others, they were escorted to the capital. As for the remaining acres of land and the land deeds for the shops, the Dongchang personnel left behind were instructed to take care of the follow-up processing.
The gate of Jining City opened, and Chu Yi led Shi Kui and others to leave, leaving only a pool of blood and the evil name of Butcher Chu.
A fast horse galloped over, and it turned out to be a Dongchang fan. He saw the Dongchang fan rolling to the ground. He took out a letter from his sleeve and said: "Supervisor, this is the biography of General Manager Gao Feng."
News coming."
Chu Yi opened the envelope and glanced at it. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and looked at Chen Li who was tied to a horse in a very embarrassed state.
Aren’t you afraid of death?”
