Chapter 79 If you want to add a crime, there is nothing to worry about [for the leader of the allian
Xu Pengju, who was sitting next to Xu Yan on the high platform, had not completely recovered from the shock in his heart. The scene just now was really too shocking.
Chu Yi's decisiveness and ruthlessness in killing completely exceeded Xu Pengju's expectations. Especially when he ordered the massacre of hundreds of mobs, Xu Pengju was really shocked.
If it were him, he really wouldn't dare to give such an order.
Knowing Chu Yi's identity, issuing such an order would easily provoke unanimous criticism from everyone in the court. Of course, Chu Yi acted in a flawless manner, and he showed his righteousness early on.
After all, Chu Yi is also the governor of Dongchang and an upright member of the Ming Dynasty officialdom. Therefore, no one can refute the fact that those people besieged Chu Yi and were labeled as a rebellion by killing officials.
When the Songjiang tax collectors were besieged and killed by the common people, this incident caused a sensation in the government and the public. Liu Jin was furious. After overt and covert fights, the Songjiang Prefecture also took several scapegoats and killed them as a warning to others.
This is just the killing of officials, let alone a person of Chu Yi's status now. As long as Chu Yi kills these people and wants to surround him, Chu Yi will have nothing to do even if the lawsuit goes to the emperor.
matter.
Although it will not cause any problems in itself, its reputation will definitely be ruined, and it will also offend many literati in the world.
So if it were Xu Pengju, he would never be as decisive as Chu Yi.
However, when Xu Pengju saw Cao Shaoqin, Shi Kui's expression changed and he exclaimed: "What are they going to do?"
Xu Er, who was on the side, looked calmly at the torrent in the distance, with a hint of understanding in his eyes, and sighed quietly: "Chu Yi is so bold, decisive, and ruthless that I have never seen him before.
That’s it!”
Xu Pengju looked at his grandfather's expression and thought, "Grandpa, do you think Chu Yi won't let it go?"
From Xu Pengju's point of view, Fang Xiaoyu's massacre of those mobs was already very terrifying, and the matter should have ended here, but looking at this posture, it seemed that Chu Yi had no intention of stopping.
When Xu Pengju thought of this, he looked at Xu Yan with a horrified expression.
Xu Yan reached out and patted Xu Pengju, looking at Chu Yi's ruthless behavior and firm attitude. Then he looked at his grandson and sighed softly: "Pengju, take a good look. If you can have Chu Yi in the future,
If you are half as determined as you are, grandpa will be able to rest in peace."
If we talk about the previous situation, Xu Pengju was naturally dissatisfied when comparing Chu Yi with him, but after witnessing the scene where Chu Yi ordered the massacre of hundreds of people, Xu Pengju was already convinced.
In another attic, Mr. Zheng and others had already left first, and the only ones left in this attic were the wealthy gentry who were hiding their luxury.
At this time, these few people lost the frivolity that confused others, and each of them showed their momentum. After all, they have thousands of tenants, life and death depend on their thoughts, and they have millions of gold and silver at their disposal.
Shifting Qi, shifting and nourishing body, anyone who can control these can develop some power.
The head of the Hu family, Hu Ding, glanced at several people and said: "Brothers, Chu Yi is so ruthless, how should we deal with it next?"
An old man with a kind-hearted look was playing with a jade ball carved from mutton-fat white jade in his hand. Hearing this, he wrote lightly: "Just kill him. Don't we kill too many officials? One more of him is not too much, and one of him is missing.
Quite a few.”
Another person chuckled and said: "What Brother Ma said is true. Unless he is protected by a large army when he travels, any bandit raised by any of our police stations can kill the eunuch."
Hu Ding nodded slightly and said, "In that case, leave this matter to me!"
"Hahaha, the salt workers raised by your Hu family have many salt lords, especially those salt lords, who are all desperadoes. It is perfect for your Hu family to take action!"
Carriage after carriage carried away these wealthy businessmen who could shake up Jiangnan's economy with just one stamp of their feet.
Hu Ding stepped onto a carriage, and a horseman in fancy clothes said to Hu Ding, "Master, where are we going?"
Subconsciously looking in the direction of Dongchang's stronghold, Hu Ding frowned and said, "Get out of the city!"
The groom was slightly stunned, obviously he did not expect that Hu Ding would order to leave the city. However, as Hu Ding's trusted servant, the groom knew that his master had always been the same. Once he had made a decision, no one could change it.
The carriage only advanced a dozen feet, and several figures blocked the front. The leader was Chu Fang, who was beside Chu Yi. Chu Fang could only be heard screaming towards the stopped carriage: "Master Hu, get out of the car!"
The horseman shook the long whip in his hand, but he was a good martial artist. He stared at Chu Fang and the others and said, "Who do you think you dare to do in broad daylight in the city of Nanjing?"
"We are talking to your master, what's wrong with you?"
A silver needle shot out, and instantly the coachman froze and fell from the carriage to the ground.
At this moment, Hu Ding opened the curtain and his eyes fell on Chu Fang and the others. His eyes shrank, obviously he recognized the identities of Chu Fang and the others.
Chu Fang looked at Hu Ding and said: "I think the Hu family master should know our family's intention because of his intelligence. Please come, Hu family master!"
Hu Ding smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't expect Hu to be able to work hard. Governor Chu sent someone to invite him!"
In fact, when he saw Chu Fang and the others, Hu Ding knew that Chu Yi must have found out the origins of the mob that besieged him.
It's not that Hu Ding was arrogant and unprepared and directly selected a group of strong men among his tenants. It was because Hu Ding never thought that Chu Yi would dare to be so crazy and directly slaughter hundreds of people.
Besides, in Hu Ding's expectation, Chu Yi would definitely die this time. Just like Songjiang's tax resistance, he was also a directly transferred tenant. Afterwards, he casually introduced a few scapegoats. Isn't everything calm?
Several gangsters came forward, pulled Hu Ding off the carriage, and then tied him up with five-flowered ropes. During this process, Hu Ding seemed very calm, and his face was even filled with a trace of anger.
Share the smile.
Chu Fang saw Hu Ding's reaction in his eyes and sneered in his heart. This man was so calm. He probably didn't know that soldiers and horses were already heading straight for his family. By then, there would be dozens of direct descendants of the He clan.
No one can escape.
At that time, I don’t know if Hu Ding will still be so calm. When he thought that this person instigated the mob to try to kill Chu Yi, Chu Fang snorted coldly: "Take him away!"
Noticing the pity and disdain in Chu Fang's eyes, Hu Ding didn't know why he felt that he had made some omissions, and he suddenly became panicked.
There is a saying that the county magistrate who destroys the family is the prefect who destroys the family, not to mention the powerful governor of Dongchang who is as powerful as Chu Yi.
Following Chu Yi's order, soldiers and horses were dispatched. According to the list selected by Dongchang yesterday, one by one came to the door.
The first is the family manor of the Hu family in Nanjing City. The Hu family's ancestral home is Songjiang Prefecture. They have a large number of people and control 30% of the salt industry in the Ming Dynasty. However, their direct descendants live in the bustling city of Nanjing.
Although the Hu family is just a wealthy businessman family on the surface, anyone who knows the details of the Hu family, including senior officials in Nanjing City, is unwilling to provoke the Hu family.
However, on this day, a group of soldiers with murderous intent and even blood on their armor surrounded the Hu family's residence.
A servant of the Hu family had already reported the news. Because the head of the family, Hu Ding, was away, several clan elders were invited out. On top of the high wall, an elder said to Shi Kui outside the house: "General, why are you surrounding me?" The Hu family, Huang Guo, the Minister of War, and Yue Ming, the Qianhu of the Songjiang Guards, are my close friends with the Hu family, and even the young master of the Duke of Wei and my young master are close friends..."
Cao Shaoqin snorted coldly, took a step forward and said sharply: "We have found out that the Hu family in Songjiang colluded to rebel against King Zhu Chixiu and intended to commit rebellion. The evidence is conclusive. We have a special order to arrest and bring to justice, and confiscate the family property. Don't indulge one person in vain!"
With a pop, the clan elder's eyes turned black and he fell down. Many people in the Hu clan were in an uproar after hearing this. Hu Guowei, as the eldest son of Hu Ding, can be said to be the next head of the Hu clan. At this moment, he stepped onto the high platform. He sneered at Cao Shaoqin and others and said: "The eunuch is spitting blood. As the saying goes, there is no need to accuse others. This is a disorder of destiny. You are falsely passing on the imperial edict, and you are worthy of death!"
Hu Guowei knew in his heart that he could never let the officers and soldiers rush into the mansion. A fierce look flashed in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and waved his hand. Suddenly, the brave and brave soldiers that the Hu family usually raised climbed up the high wall one by one with sharp weapons to confront them. stand up.
At the same time, Hu Guowei said to a young man: "Second brother, eldest brother is here to hold off these officers and soldiers. You go out of the secret passage and go to find your father quickly and ask him to go and invite the Duke of the country. Otherwise, we, the Hu family, will You will be harmed by eunuchs!"
