Chapter 618 Shen Yi's Provocation

After receiving Shen Yi's order, the wolf-like anti-Japanese army immediately broke into the houses of the Feng and Tan families and detained everyone in the two families.

The cash in the house, the house deed and land deed, and all valuables were sealed up in situ.

In the early morning of the next day, the anti-Japanese army posted notices at the gates of the Feng Tan family and along the streets of Fuzhou, announcing the evidence of the Feng Tan family's connection with the Japanese.

This is mainly to calm the public opinion in Fuzhou City.

After all, the head of the Feng family yelled at the door of the house before, which indeed caused a lot of public opinion problems.

And Fuzhou's Dibao Division also printed an article immediately, detailing the whole process of the Feng Tan family's communication with the Japanese, as well as the criminal evidence of their communication.

It is estimated that in two or three days, the latest edition of the Di Bao will be printed and distributed.

Now, although Shen Yi is not in charge of the Dibao Division, Shen Yi can still have the final say. With this public opinion killer in his hands, after two or three days, the Feng family and the Tan family will be ruined immediately.

The next morning, when Shen Yi woke up from the bed, Ling Su, who had been busy all night, was already waiting at the door of his room. After seeing Shen Yi coming out, he hurried up, bowed his head slightly and said, "Mr. , In Feng and Tan's two houses, more than [-] people were arrested, including their servants, but it is not easy to put them in the Fuzhou Prison, so they are divided into two places and detained in their respective houses."

"A total of cash was found..."

Ling Su paused, and said, "Nearly 20 taels..."

"The other real estate title deeds are added together, and there is no way to estimate the value for a while."

No matter what era it is, some families seem to have assets all over the world and are giants, but they often don't have much cash. One reason is that they have to do business outside, and the money is on the books and has not been fully recovered.

Secondly, it turned into some real estate, such as pavement, land, mansion...

Of course, people in this era are more fond of land. No matter who they are, including Master Shen's father Shen Zhang, as long as they have some spare money, they want to buy more land.

Because the field is the foundation of everything.

The same is true of the gentry in these places.

They are different from the Japanese pirates who plundered. Most of their assets are in land, shops, and goods.

Under such circumstances, the two families can still have nearly 20 taels of silver in cash, which is quite shocking.

Shen Yi nodded, and said lightly: "The eunuch Du Huai Du in the palace should still be in Fuzhou now, you send someone to inform them and ask them to come here to count these properties."

Ling Su hesitated for a moment, and then asked cautiously: "Mr. Shen, would you like to take a look at these two houses? There are many antique calligraphy and paintings there. If you like something, the subordinates will give it to you." Come."

Speaking of this, General Ling said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, if someone asks, these things were taken by the subordinate himself, and you have nothing to do with Mr. Shen."

This is thinking of giving myself a gift.

Master Shen shook his head slightly, and smiled: "As a scholar, I am different from those around me. I am not very interested in antique calligraphy and paintings, so don't worry about me, and..."

Master Shen lowered his brows and said: "The confiscated property, the hands of the brothers who passed it were itchy for a moment, and I took ten taels of silver, I just pretended not to see it, but let me remind you, the inner guard is by your side, you took it Things, if the imperial court finds out about it, and the higher-ups pursue it, then I will not know anything about it."

If you don't know, you won't protect them.

Ling Su quickly bowed his head and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, the hands and feet of the brothers are very clean...I won't give it to you, and embarrass the anti-Japanese army."

"Ah."

Master Shen thought for a while, and continued: "When Eunuch Du and the others go to order something, let the book office of the Anti-Japanese Army follow and keep a record."

Speaking of this, Shen Yi snorted: "We don't have enough money, and we can't give it to all those eunuchs."

A smile appeared on Ling Su's face, he lowered his head and said, "Yes, all the subordinates understand."

"correct."

Ling Su suddenly remembered something, and he said, "When my subordinates came here in the morning, they saw more than a dozen carriages parked outside the gate, so they asked about it. They seemed to be local noblemen from Fuzhou who were waiting outside. You have been all day and all night."

Shen Yi rubbed his temples, and chuckled: "I really didn't notice that."

Last night, after Shen Yi went to Sun Futai's appointment, he returned to his residence through the back door, and really forgot that there were so many people waiting for him in front.

"Let them wait outside for a while. I'll have breakfast before I think about seeing them."

Ling Su lowered his head slightly: "If Mr. Shen doesn't want to see them, this subordinate will lead someone to drive them away."

"See you or see you."

Shen Yi said lightly: "People in these places, if they want to rule them into obedience, they have to kill a group of people, and then win over a group of people, so that they can restrain themselves. If they are all offended, sooner or later they will still Something went wrong."

In this era, the imperial power... or the power of the central court is extremely limited, and it is impossible to extend it too far. In the local area, the local government is actually co-governed by the gentry and landlords.

The head of the village, the head of the security, the head of the clan, etc., can be said to be the partners of the local government.

And these so-called "gentry clans" living in the cities of Fujian Province not only do business in the provincial capital, but almost all of them are big landlords behind their backs.

I really need to cut through the mess quickly...

Three thousand soldiers and horses may not be enough.

But killing still has to kill some people, otherwise these vested interest groups will not have a long memory.

Moreover, the affairs in Fuzhou must be done quickly and beautifully.

Shen Yi didn't have much energy and spent it in Fuzhou.

Ling Su bowed his head respectfully, said he was taught, and then he said: "Then Mr. Shen, please wait here, and my subordinates will get you some breakfast."

"It's not necessary."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "Jiang Sheng probably will deliver the food soon."

He looked at Ling Su.

"Sit down and eat something later?"

General Ling hesitated for a moment, then bowed his head respectfully: "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders..."

About half an hour later, Master Shen and General Ling slowly finished their leisurely breakfast.

Then, accompanied by Ling Su, Shen Yi came to the main entrance of the residence.

There were indeed about a dozen carriages parked at the main entrance.

However, because the gate of Shen Yi was guarded by the Anti-Japanese Army, these carriages did not dare to get too close, and there were still more than ten steps away from the gate of Shen Yi's residence.

Master Shen stood at the door, glanced at the dozen or so carriages at the door, then looked back at Ling Su, and said lightly: "General Ling, you go and tell them that I allow them to come in and let them wait for me in the living room .”

Ling Su nodded, and immediately walked quickly towards the dozen or so carriages.

Master Shen stretched his waist, turned around and went back to his bedroom to rest for a while, then changed his white clothes and changed into a black one.

Because Master Shen is going to sing "Black Face" this time.

Black, more or less serious.

After about a cup of tea time, Master Shen walked into the drawing room with a blank expression on his face and his hands behind his back.

There were more than a dozen people sitting in the living room, both men and women.

To be precise, except for the two women, the others are all men.

These are the talkers of the big families in Fuzhou City.

On weekdays, they are all figures who call the wind and rain in this provincial capital, and they are brothers and sisters with the county magistrate and even the magistrate.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Even the emperor, they don't seem to be afraid in their hearts.

But now, seeing Shen Yi walking in, this group of people stood up almost immediately, and saluted Shen Yi in unison.

"I have seen Lord Qin Cha!"

There was even some tremor in their voices.

It's not because of the fear of the imperial court's power, let alone because of the fear of Shen Yi.

Instead, I was really afraid of the three thousand anti-Japanese troops who stopped outside Fuzhou city!

The tyrannical force is always worth fearing.

Master Shen didn't have any expression on his face. He walked directly to the main seat, sat down on his buttocks, and then looked up at the crowd with no expression on his face.

"Everyone, I have interrogated Japanese pirates these days, and the confessions I got are shocking."

"Shocking."

Master Shen glanced at the people standing there, and said slowly: "I should know what you have done these years, so I won't go into details here."

He patted the table next to him lightly and loudly, making a loud noise.

It made everyone's heart beat violently.

"Other things, I won't say anything else. Since you are here to see me, I will give you a chance."

Master Shen narrowed his eyes, revealing his murderous aura.

"Today, in this garden, if there is anyone who surrenders himself to the official, or proves that others have tampered with the Japanese."

"This officer can, at his own discretion..."

His voice is faint, like a devil.

"Absolution."
