Chapter 230 This king is the Lord of Ming Dynasty! [Thanks to the leader 916929]
Glancing at Su Min, Chu Yi said calmly: "Prefect Su, have you ever calculated the wealth of several families?"
Carloads of property were confiscated from several houses, packed into boxes, and brought to the government office. Su Min even personally led the government clerk to count the number of confiscated properties.
Su Min couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head when he heard this: "But the governor was disappointed. There were too many treasures that were not confiscated this time. More than a dozen scribes in the government office were busy for a long time, but they could only count a small part of them.
, I’m afraid we have to wait until the results come out, at least until tomorrow evening.”
Chu Yi waved his hand and said, "I am not in a hurry. I don't want anything to go wrong."
Su Min nodded and looked at Chu Yi, looking hesitant.
Chu Yi noticed Su Min's look and couldn't help but said in surprise: "Does the magistrate have anything to say?"
With a slight cough, Su Min said: "I have a worry in my heart, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not!"
Chu Yi chuckled and said, "Oh, that's what Magistrate Su said."
Su Min looked serious and said: "Although the governor has a great right, he acted so fiercely and captured several families at once. After tonight, once the news spreads, I am afraid that the whole Jiangnan will be affected."
It’s shocking.”
Chu Yi put down the tea in his hand and looked at Su Min and said solemnly: "So what if there is a shock in the south of the Yangtze River? Is it possible that there are still people who dare to rise up and rebel? If someone really dares to rebel, I don't mind killing him again. His head is covered with blood.
Jiangnan!”
Su Min's hand shook slightly, and then she remembered that what the person in front of her was least afraid of was rebellion by others. The consequences of Lu Wenyang's rebellion were known to the whole world, especially with the reorganization of the Beijing camp. If anyone really dared to rebel, I'm afraid it would happen.
As Chu Yi said, people will definitely be killed when the time comes.
Three days later, at the Suzhou Prefecture's execution ground, thousands of criminals were taken to the execution ground. It seemed that wherever Chu Yi went, there would always be bloody killings in Nanjing, the capital, and Suzhou.
This is not the first time a criminal has been beheaded in the Suzhou Prefecture's law enforcement field, but it is the first time so many criminals have been killed at once. The number of relatives of several major families, plus those implicated, totals over a thousand people.
.
With Chu Yi's acting style and the fact that he had the emperor's imperial token in his hand, he was given the right to kill first and then report later. It only took three days. Except for a few remnants of several families who escaped, almost eight or nine people escaped.
Everyone who succeeded was arrested and brought to justice.
The sky was gloomy that day, and the wind was freezing. They were all dressed in thin prison uniforms. The clansmen of several major families who were aloof and enjoying the glory a few days ago were now reduced to prisoners, shivering in the cold wind.
trembling.
Supervisor Su Min sat there, looking at Wang Dong, Wu Yi and others below, and couldn't help feeling filled with emotion. To be honest, Su Min naturally didn't have a good impression of these people.
When he took office as the magistrate, he was actually asked to visit several houses. As the magistrate of the Ming Dynasty, he had to bow to a merchant. This was a great shame in Su Min's opinion.
But he was unable to resist. If he wanted to avoid trouble in Suzhou Mansion, he, the prefect, had to bow to several people. It could be said that after that visit, Su Min never paid attention to these people again.
Anyway, he is just a puppet. If something happens to the family, Su Min will ask his master to deal with it for him and show his dissatisfaction with the family through his actions.
It's a pity that Su Min's behavior is so ridiculous in the eyes of several family heads.
Even Su Min himself could never have imagined that one day, he would be able to sit in the supervisor's seat and personally supervise and execute Wang Dong and others.
Su Min, who was sighing in her heart, heard the sound of a gong. She came back to her senses and looked at the time. It was noon, and she saw Su Min picked up the token, stood up, threw it out, and shouted: "The hour is here."
Already arrived for execution!"
To kill so many prisoners at once, Suzhou Prefecture didn't have enough swordsmen and axemen, but Chu Yi ordered dozens of army sergeants to be dispatched.
As soon as the order was given, heads began to roll.
"Eunuch, you must die a happy death..."
There was silence all around. As several major families were killed, Suzhou Mansion, which was built like a copper wall and an iron wall, naturally returned to the control of the imperial court.
At this time, Chu Yi had already sent Song Ziming to lead thousands of soldiers and horses to escort the confiscated goods of more than 8 million taels to Beijing, while he rushed towards Nanjing along the Grand Canal.
Several big families in Suzhou Prefecture looked at the huge land of Jiangnan. Although they were not first-class, they were quite influential. Now they were killed by Chu Yi. It was really as Su Min said, which deeply stimulated those in Jiangnan.
Gentlemen, merchants.
Chu Yi can kill the Wang family, the Li family, and the Chen family today, but will he be able to kill them too in the future?
In the vast south of the Yangtze River, the hearts of many wealthy gentry and merchants were in turmoil.
Nanchang City is close to the rolling river. In Nanchang City, there is a famous Ming Dynasty prince, Prince Ning Zhu Chenhao.
Zhu Chenhao was the fifth generation grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang's seventeenth son, Zhu Quan. Because he heard the magician said that Nanchang City had the aura of an emperor, and because Zhu Houzhao had no heirs, he had some suspicion of the supreme position in his heart.
On this day, Zhu Chenhao was discussing matters with several of his close advisors in the living room. The scribes Li Shishi, Liu Yangzheng and other close advisors were sitting at the lower end, reporting to Zhu Chenhao one by one the various properties of Prince Mingning's palace.
After the routine summary, Li Shishi looked at Zhu Chenhao and said with a bit of joy on his face: "Your Majesty, Liu Yangzheng, congratulates Your Majesty. Your Majesty, you are so happy!"
Suddenly hearing Li Shishi's words, Zhu Chenhao couldn't help but be stunned. He looked at Li Shishi with some confusion and said: "Mr. Li, I don't know what kind of happy event there is. Please tell me about it!"
Li Shishi was Zhu Chenhao's confidant and was in charge of secret agents for Zhu Chenhao. He could be said to be the most well-informed person under Zhu Chenhao.
Several other people couldn't help but look at Li Shishi.
Li Shishi glanced at everyone and said slowly: "Your Majesty, not long ago, a secret agent sent news that Chu Yi, the general manager, captured Zhang, Wang, Liu and other families who were entrenched in Suzhou Mansion in one day.
We went down and killed a few members of the clan, and only killed so many people in Suzhou Prefecture that their heads were rolling."
Zhu Chenhao raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Oh, this eunuch is not in the capital, but he dares to come to this place in the south of the Yangtze River. Doesn't he know how many people in the huge Jiangnan are eager to kill him?"
Li Shishi chuckled and said: "But those who dare to plot against Chu Yi will end up dead!"
Zhu Chenhao curled his lips and said, "The heads Chu Yi killed in Suzhou Mansion have nothing to do with me."
Li Shishi said respectfully: "This is what I want to congratulate the prince. The prince also wants to thank Chu Yi for creating such a good opportunity for the prince."
When Liu Yangzheng heard this, a bright light flashed in his eyes. He stroked his beard and smiled with a clear look: "What Brother Li said is very polite. I, Liu Yangzheng, congratulate the prince!"
If Zhu Chenhao was still hesitant when Li Shishi said that before, now even Liu Yangzheng congratulated him, which made Zhu Chenhao feel happy.
Looking at Liu Yangzheng and Li Shishi, Zhu Chenhao stood up and bowed to them, saying like a polite corporal: "Please teach me, gentlemen!"
Liu Yangzheng stroked his beard and said to Li Shishi: "Brother Li, how about you explain it to His Highness!"
Li Shishi nodded, looked at Zhu Chenhao and said: "Your Highness, Chu Yi killed several big families in Suzhou Prefecture. It may not seem like an earth-shattering event, but the aftermath of this incident is too great, so huge
In the land south of the Yangtze River, I don’t know how many wealthy gentry and merchants saw what happened in Suzhou Prefecture, and it’s strange that they would feel fear and even hatred for the emperor and Chu Yi.”
Zhu Chenhao nodded and said: "Yes, the emperor is ignorant and favors those who trust eunuchs and villains. In their hands, our Ming Dynasty will surely perish!"
Li Shishi cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness is the one who inherits the destiny of heaven. Our country, the Ming Dynasty, will be reborn in the hands of Your Highness, and Your Highness is the God who bestows the destiny of the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Chenhao couldn't help but smile when he heard this. He stroked his beard and looked modest and said with a bit of anger: "Sir, you are exaggerating. Although I am not talented, I think I am no worse than that Zhu Di. The former ancestor Ning
Wang Zengxiang helped Zhu Di to pacify Nanjing, and Zhu Di promised his ancestors that if the pacification was successful, he would share the world equally with his ancestors, but..."
Liu Yangzheng chuckled and said: "As the saying goes, things turn around, and the promise made by the former founder Zhu Di may be fulfilled by His Highness!"
Zhu Chenhao sneered and said: "This king not only wants half of the country, but also the entire Ming Dynasty. Our lineage, King Ning, is the same bloodline of Taizu. His lineage, Zhu Di, can sit on the throne of the Ming Dynasty. How can I, lineage of King Ning, sit on it?"
No."
As he spoke, Zhu Chenhao looked at Li Shishi and said, "Sir, please continue, why should I thank that eunuch Chu Yi?"
Li Shishi chuckled and said: "If the prince wants to start an uprising, he will definitely need supplies such as grain, fodder, ordnance, but there is a force in the world that can make up for this shortcoming for the prince."
Zhu Chenhao reacted, showed a look of surprise, slammed the coffee table, and shouted excitedly: "I understand, I understand, hahaha, in this way, I really want to thank Chu Yi for this
The eunuchs killed so many people in Suzhou Prefecture."
Li Shishi nodded and said: "Yes, if it weren't for the wealthy businessmen Chu Yi killed, how could His Highness have the opportunity to win over these wealthy businessmen to obtain their help."
Liu Yangzheng also spoke at this moment: "Your Highness, this is a great opportunity for Your Highness to win over people's hearts and accumulate strength. If Your Highness can take the opportunity to subdue these Jiangnan gentry, then His Highness's great cause will be half successful."
Zhu Chenhao took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and bowed slowly: "The lonely king hereby promises that if he can be honored with a great treasure in the future, he will live up to you, and he is willing to share the glory and wealth with you."
Immediately, several confidants present stood up and respectfully said to Zhu Chenhao: "I will wait for Dingxiang to help His Highness win the supreme position."
