The few people standing below felt a little confused. They couldn't believe that their masters dared to say such treasonous words!
After a while, a member of the household swallowed his saliva and said: "Sir, before I came down here, I heard that the governor of Dongchang went on a killing spree in the city. He seemed to have slaughtered hundreds of people. Even the Hu family had their homes confiscated and their entire clan wiped out. This person is here."
Jiangnan, if we kill those tax supervisors..."
Zhao Hongze laughed loudly and said: "It's not that I look down on the governor of the East Factory. He is just a castrated dog who dares to come to the muddy water in the south of the Yangtze River. He really thinks this is Beijing. Can he be allowed to do whatever he wants?
?”
Glancing at a few uneasy subordinates, Zhao Hongze knew that these subordinates were obviously suppressed by Chu Yi's vicious reputation, otherwise it would not be the case.
He waved his hands and said: "Okay, my uncle is here for everything. If anything happens, my uncle will be responsible for it. Even if Chu Yi borrows his courage, he will not dare to touch my uncle!"
After hearing Zhao Hongze's words, several hundred households felt a little relieved. Their uncle was one of the most powerful people in Nanjing city, so he thought he could control Chu Yi.
Looking at each other, several people bowed their hands to Zhao Hongze and said: "Don't worry, sir, if those tax supervisors don't know how to praise, I will deal with them myself!"
Zhao Hongze said slowly: "Is this right? This is Jiangnan, and we have the final say in everything..."
While he was talking, the old housekeeper of Uncle Wu Jing's house rushed into the hall with a stumbling motion, then knelt down with a thud and shouted mournfully at Zhao Hongze: "Uncle, something bad has happened!"
Zhao Hongze was stunned for a moment, frowned and stared at the old housekeeper, and said in a deep voice: "Butler Ming, if you don't give me an explanation, you can sleep in the stable!"
It was obvious that the old butler was careless and broke into the hall so rudely, which made him very surprised.
The old housekeeper said with a panic look on his face: "Uncle, Chu Yi...Chu Yi, he..."
Zhao Hongze stiffened, took a deep breath and said, "What happened to Chu Yi? Could it be that he still dares to cause trouble for me?"
As he said this, Zhao Hongze couldn't help but laugh.
However, before the old housekeeper could reply, he heard a loud bang, which was clearly the sound of banging on the door.
The smile on Zhao Hongze's face froze, and then he showed a look of anger. He slammed the table and shouted: "You gelded dog, you are so brave!"
While speaking, Zhao Hongze suddenly stood up and said to the hundreds of officials with shocked faces: "Follow me to meet with this Governor of Chu for a while. I want to see if he has eaten the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's guts."
Why, you actually dare to provoke me!"
If we were in the capital, when the governor of the East Factory came to visit, not to mention an uncle, even a marquis, the prince would be frightened out of his wits.
However, Zhao Hongze has no fear of Chu Yi. Obviously, in his opinion, in this land of Jiangnan, even a dragon must be coiled and a tiger must lie down. Not one of the imperial envoys who came to Jiangnan was killed.
You two, Zhao Hongze is really not afraid of Chu Yi.
The tall and majestic uncle's mansion occupies a vast area. It can be seen that Wu Jingbo is really powerful. The construction of this mansion is almost comparable to the mansions of some princes.
Chu Yi clasped his hands behind his back and watched calmly as several soldiers hit the extremely thick door. With a bang, the door was knocked open, and several servants of Wu Jingbo's house were pressed under the heavy door and howled miserably.
Endless.
Just at this time, Wu Jingbo and Zhao Hongze came with a group of servants.
Looking at the collapsed door, Zhao Hongze was immediately furious and shouted: "Chu Yi, how dare you bully me!"
The long street where Wu Jingbo's mansion is located is exactly where many nobles gather. It can be said that almost nine CDs of nobles in Nanjing live in this block. It can be said that the mansions are connected one after another. Any movement in any house will happen very quickly.
It can alarm other people.
Chu Yi and Shi Kui led a team of soldiers and horses to appear in front of Wu Jingbo's mansion, and even violently attacked the gate of Wu Jingbo's mansion, which shocked many people.
Previously, Chu Yi only massacred the mob and targeted the wealthy gentry Hu family. Apart from marveling at Chu Yi's decisiveness and ruthlessness, these nobles had no other feelings.
Anyway, as nobles of the Ming Dynasty, as long as they don't make a big mistake, they will be treated as equals to the country. Even the emperor will treat them favorably.
So if we want to talk about who in Nanjing City is the most confident when facing Chu Yi, it is these nobles with high status and fame but no power.
When Chu Yi led his people to attack Wu Jingbo's mansion, the nobles of the surrounding families were naturally alarmed. After figuring out what was going on, some senior nobles showed ridicule, while others clapped and praised, truly feeling sorry for them.
There are only a few newly promoted noble families.
In the hundreds of years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, many nobles have been born. There are descendants of Taizu and Jingnan, and the emperors of all dynasties have all been canonized. Therefore, even the Xungui Group
, its interior is also not monolithic.
These nobles in Nanjing City are obviously from the noble families who have lost their power and are not favored. Everyone is equally happy and noble. However, Wu Jingbo and Zhao Hongze have great power. They are powerful and rich, and they act arrogantly.
Rejected by all the old nobles.
Of course, these nobles didn't have a good impression of Chu Yi, so they kept the matter aside. As long as Chu Yi didn't come to cause trouble for them, they were happy to see Zhao Hongze suffer misfortune.
Chu Yi slowly walked into Wu Jingbo's mansion and stood on the inside of the gate, his eyes falling on Zhao Hongze who was staring at him with an angry expression.
Behind Zhao Hongze were dozens of strong servants, each holding a sword and full of momentum.
"Wu Jingbo, do you know your guilt?"
Chu Yi's scolding made Zhao Hongze slightly stunned. After reacting, Zhao Hongze couldn't help laughing, pointing at Chu Yi and said: "Eunuch, are you trying to frame me? You first need to understand that I am
You are an honorable Ming Dynasty official. In terms of status, even if you see me, you must salute me!"
It was obvious that Zhao Hongze was used to being arrogant in Nanjing City and even Jiangnan. Even if he faced Chu Yi, he was not afraid and even used his status to suppress Chu Yi.
To be honest, as an uncle, Zhao Hongze has a noble status. It is a pity that none of the previous governors of Dongchang would be afraid of these nobles.
Chu Yi could only hear Chu Yi smile contemptuously and say: "The evidence is conclusive that Zhao Hongze had an affair with the rebel king Zhu Zhixiu and deliberately conspired against him!"
Zhao Hongze shrank his eyes and stared at Chu Yi. He did not expect that Chu Yi would really dare to frame him. He gritted his teeth and said to Chu Yi: "Chu Yi, you dare to frame me!"
Seeing Zhao Hongze's angry expression, Chu Yi threw out a folding book from his sleeve, which was densely recorded with more than a dozen crimes including Zhao Hongze's embezzling salt tax, occupying fertile farmland, killing good people and taking merit, etc. Each of the crimes was extremely detailed.
Zhao Hongze could only watch with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
Zhao Hongze raised his head and looked at Chu Yi. Zhao Hongze only saw Chu Yi's eyes looking at him with a look of death. He couldn't help but feel jealous. He laughed, stretched out his hand to pull out the sharp long knife from the servant next to him, and jumped towards him.
Chu Yi chopped it down on the head and sneered: "I will kill you today, but I want to see who dares to punish me!"
As Zhao Hongze swung his sword and pounced on Chu Yi, dozens of his servants pounced on Chu Yi and others.
Chu Yi's expression remained unchanged, while Shi Kui, who was standing next to him, shouted: "Archer, shoot!"
In an instant, dozens of arrows shot out, and a scream suddenly came.
Zhao Hongze knocked away a few arrows that were shot at him, and when he came to Chu Yi, he grinned and said: "Eunuch, believe it or not, I will kill you today, and in a few days, the emperor will accept you as a powerful man in the world."
News of death by assassination!”
Chu Yi shook his head slightly and said, "I don't believe it!"
Zhao Hongze slashed at Chu Yi with a knife, and said in an extremely arrogant voice: "You castrated dog, go to hell, remember this is Jiangnan, even the emperor can't save you!"
