The Feng family's father and son were able to capture and die, and the subsequent house raids were carried out in an orderly manner.
Lin Nuo was sitting on a grand master's chair in the courtyard, quietly looking at the boxes of various silver coins, antiques, jade items that had been sorted and carried out...
At this moment, Zhou Yan, who was commanding the Jinyi guards to search the house, suddenly rushed over with people from the backyard. Behind him, hundreds of Jinyi guardsmen carried large boxes and placed them in the yard.
The box was opened, and Lin Nuo looked around and saw that it was filled with various armors, spears, military crossbows, and gunpowder.
There are even more than a dozen exquisite firecrackers placed in a small box. The firecrackers are also inlaid with various gorgeous gems, and they are worth a lot of money at a glance.
"Sir, this was found from an underground secret room in the Feng Mansion. The Feng family is really hoarding military supplies. We have not wronged him!" Zhou Yan stepped forward and whispered.
Lin Nuo nodded without leaving any trace. It would be strange if there were no prohibited items in the mansion for such a wealthy family who got their start through bloody means and took advantage of both the underworld and the white.
But it just so happens that the Feng family's accusation of plotting rebellion has been completely proven, and there is no need to blame them for the military supplies that I had prepared in advance!
As these military supplies were found, many members of the Feng family who originally cried out that they were wronged were now speechless. Except for a few young people who kept kowtowing and praying for life, no one spoke.
Rebellion is a serious crime. Now that the crime has been confirmed, it is useless to ask for mercy from anyone. Instead of embarrassing yourself, it is better to preserve the last bit of dignity for yourself.
The house search is still going on intensively here. Outside the Feng family, on the top floor of a restaurant, many dignitaries are already standing, watching the situation of the Feng family from a distance.
"This Lin Nuo is really ruthless, leaving no room for anything!" Nanjing's Minister of Rites couldn't help but gasped after seeing all kinds of military supplies being searched out from Feng's house.
"Do you think this is Lin Nuo setting up a frame-up?" someone asked suspiciously.
"It shouldn't be a frame-up! We watched the Jinyi Guards enter the mansion from beginning to end. Those Jinyi Guards who entered the Feng Mansion did not enter with military supplies!"
"It's unmistakable. You all should know how the Feng family started. For a family like this whose hands are stained with blood, it would be a joke if there are no weapons and equipment in the house!"
"The Feng family is to blame for their own demise. They know that Lin Nuo is now inspecting various places under orders, and they are still manipulating the food prices in Jiangnan and other places unscrupulously. This is a way to die!" Wei Guogong, who had not shown up since the beginning, finally finally
Appeared.
These powerful people did not know the relationship between the Feng family and other four major families and Prince Ning. In their view, these four major families maliciously manipulated food prices in order to plunder people's money on a large scale and want to make enough at once.
It's just that they were unlucky and happened to run into Lin Nuo going down to the south of the Yangtze River and hit the muzzle of a gun.
"What they did was indeed a bit too much!"
The Minister of Civil Affairs in Nanjing also nodded in approval. Although everyone is making wool, you, the Feng family and other four major families must leave some for the sheep, right? Otherwise, how will everyone get wool from the sheep in the future?
Many powerful people have already complained about the four major families' practices of fishing from the lake and denying the people a way to survive. They can't make much profit from the sharp rise in food prices, and they have to share the risks for them. It's hard for everyone.
It won't be pleasant.
"The power of the Feng family and other families in the Nanjing Garrison Military Region is not weak. It seems that several generals are from their families. You must take good care of them and don't cause trouble and give Lin Nuo a chance to implicate others!
"Wei Guogong suddenly said.
"The old man is still thoughtful!"
The Minister of Civil Affairs and others quickly turned around and gave some instructions to the people behind them. Taking advantage of the fact that the news that the Feng family and other families had been raided has not spread widely, it is not difficult to control a few generals!
It has to be said that Lin Nuo Yijia, who was born as a Jinshi, has a natural affinity with the civil servant group. In addition, since he became the commander of the Imperial Guard, he has almost never made a move against the civil servant group. Therefore, these dignitaries in Nanjing City,
Although Lin Nuo felt a little sad about the loss of the four major families, he did not take any drastic action.
Because they believed that as long as they and others did not hinder Lin Nuo behind his back, with Tan Hwa Lang's character and integrity, they would not casually implicate innocent people!
This is Lin Nuo's natural advantage over Liu Jin.
Lin Nuo came from a literary background. Even if the civil service group did not regard him as one of their own, they would subconsciously think that the other party would not arbitrarily become an enemy of the civil service group.
Even if Lin Nuo had the four major families in Nanjing confiscated and exterminated as soon as he took action, the dignitaries in Nanjing would only think that the four major families were seeking death and were caught at gunpoint. The other dignitaries would not take the risk of rebellion.
Did you do something drastic?
But Liu Jin was different. He was the leader of the eunuch party and was naturally hated and hostile by the civil servant group.
If Liu Jin went down to the south of the Yangtze River today to capture the four major families in Nanjing, it is conceivable that the entire city of Nanjing would definitely be in chaos.
Because the civil servant group has extreme distrust of the eunuchs, they will subconsciously believe that after the four major families are finished, Liu Jin's butcher knife will fall on them. In order to protect themselves, the local garrison will probably enter the city in the name of suppressing bandits.
Nanjing is the companion capital. If this ancient capital is in chaos, and the restless guy like Prince Ning secretly adds fuel to the flames, the situation in the entire Jiangnan region may become a mess in an instant.
It has to be said that Lin Nuo was completely right in pushing Liu Jin to fight openly with the civil service group to attract hatred, while he fished in troubled waters secretly.
At the very least, after my army of Jinyiwei arrested all the members of the four major families and confiscated all the property of several major families, there was no turmoil in the entire city of Nanjing.
Even the public security situation is much better than before. Some local ruffians and gangsters are hiding in their homes shivering, not even daring to go out.
For a time, the entire city of Nanjing was in a slightly depressing atmosphere, so much so that people left their homes open at night and did not pick up things on the streets.
From the beginning to the end, the dignitaries in Nanjing City were watching Lin Nuo's every move. No one contacted him proactively, and no one dared to stumble him secretly. They only hoped that Governor Lin, who was patrolling the place on behalf of the emperor, would
Can leave as soon as possible.
Perhaps God sensed their prayers. In the early morning of the next day, Lin Nuo's army of three thousand guards, escorting carriages and hundreds of prisoners, quietly left Nanjing City and drove towards Beijing City!
Seeing this, the dignitaries in Nanjing who had been worried all day breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but sigh: "Lin Nuo, you don't form factions, don't seek selfish interests, don't be implicated, don't frame others, you are truly a gentleman!"
