Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 271 The first sword in South Zhili, bloody Fengtian Palace!
Peng Zema was born in Chaohu.

My ancestor was just a water bandit in Chaohu Lake. When Emperor Taizu started his business, he was ordered to peace. He joined the Yu family navy and made military exploits when he attacked Chen Youliang.

But in order to save Tong Yuan, he was killed by the enemy.

Yu Tongyuan recognized his son as his adopted son and married his daughter to him.

As a result, Ma gained wealth and honor.

However, Yu Tongyuan was involved in the Hu Weiyong case and was demoted. His Ma family was also implicated and was emigrated from Chaohu to Penghu.

They multiplied and multiplied in Penghu and formed the current Penghu Ma family.

Yan Fang knocked on the door of Ma family in Penghu.

The head of the family, Ma Zhuo, is a big man with a beard. He is not literate in poetry and literature, but believes in martial arts. He calls himself a man of the world and likes to make friends in the world, so Yan Fang is suspicious of him.

"A certain family has been farming for generations and has paid taxes honestly. I wonder what you have done for me?" Ma Zhuo said without being humble or overbearing.

Snapped!
Yan Fang put the knife directly on his neck: "What are you pretending to be? Ma Zhuo?"

"Xue Peng has confessed that the ordnance stored in his water village was transported by you."

"Are you still playing tricks on me?"

"Come on!"

"Arrest everyone in the Ma family!"

Yan Fang didn't say anything nonsense, he just killed him.

Ma Zhuo was immediately confused: "Sir, if you want to catch a thief, do you have any evidence to prove that I did it?"

"If there is no evidence, wouldn't there be a trial?"

Yan Fang pointed at himself: "I am a Jin Yiwei, not a Dali Temple!"

"I said you are guilty, so you are guilty!"

"Grab it!"

He is completely fake and powerful.

Regardless of the fact that Jin Zhong is responsible for cleaning up Jiangxi, he still needs evidence.

Yan Fang was actually deceiving Ma Zhuo. If Ma Zhuo refused to speak, not only would he be helpless, but he would also have to take advantage of him.

"It's unfair, it's unfair!" Ma Zhuo shouted.

Bang!
Yan Fang struck him on the head with the back of his knife.

Blood flowed down the skin of his head.

Ma Zhuo saw his family members being taken out in chains, and one of his sons was dragged out limping after being hit by an arrow in the leg as he was trying to escape over the wall.

He immediately knelt on the ground: "Sir, if you want to kill me, just kill me. Don't make it difficult for my family!"

"Do you want a good man to act like a good man?"

At this moment, many people gathered near the street, pointing and watching the excitement.

Jiangxi has been under blockade for more than half a year. How many wealthy families have had their homes confiscated and destroyed?
But the people can't celebrate.

The concept of the rural party is extremely important these days, but they instead followed the imperial court.

Ma Zhuo's face was covered with blood and he looked up at Yan Fang: "It's unfair. I don't know Xue Peng at all. I don't know him."

"Take it all away!"

Yan Fang pointed at the people watching the fun: "Do you all want to go to the imperial prison? Come on, I will lead you in!"

The spectators disappeared instantly.

In the past, no one who had a good relationship with Ma family dared to come out to stop Jin Yiwei.

Ma Zhuo's eyes were filled with sadness, and the heroic spirit in his chest turned into sobs.

Yan Fang knelt down and said to him, "Ma Zhuo, tell me the truth."

"I can let your family go."

"If you go to prison, I'm afraid your daughter, with her delicate skin and tender flesh, will be destroyed."

"Your Ma family has no way to survive."

Ma Zhuo raised his eyes in horror.

"I'm giving you a chance."

Yan Fang was also pounding in his heart.

Xue Peng had a very tough mouth. He was tortured three times but still refused to spit.

The people in Shuizhai have been interrogating him for several days. They really don’t know.

Really having no clue, he guessed that it was related to Ma, but it was just a guess.

If Ma Zhuo does not fall into the trap, he will sit on the wax instead.

Yan Fang slowly stood up.

With a wink, the female members of the Ma family kept crying and howling, and the sound was irritating.

"You don't need to be recruited. You can go to jail and see how many times you can withstand the punishment. If Xue Peng can't bear it, let's see if you are a tough guy."

Yan Fang coerced and lured: "As for whether you want to die and go to prison, whether you die or not is not decided by the King of Hell, but by this official."

"Let's go, let's have a good chat after we get into the prison!"

Ma Zhuo knew Xue Peng. He was a famous tough guy with a reputation for loyalty in the world. Did he recruit him?

Jiangxi was controlled by Jin Yiwei for more than half a year, and the horrors of the imprisonment naturally spread.

Anyone who has been in prison has never been heard of coming out.

"take away!"

"No, it's not my family, it's the Hu family in Nanchang!" Ma Zhuo didn't dare to hide it.

Yan Fang was shocked: "Who are you talking about?"

There is only one Hu family in Nanchang.

It’s Hu Yan’s family!
Hu Yan, that was a famous minister of the Yongle Dynasty!

He became an official during the Hongxi period, and even many local officials respected him as their teacher. Emperor Xuande asked him for several imperial edicts, but they were all rejected.

This great man passed away in the eighth year of Zhengtong, and his death was filled with great sorrow and glory.

Maybe his achievements are far inferior to Sanyang.

However, his disciples and former officials are all over the world. He has been in charge of the Imperial College for 20 years. Now many important ministers in the court respect him as their teacher.

If such a family makes a slight move, I don't know how many people will plead for his family. It is simply a hornet's nest.

Snapped!
Yan Fang slashed his head with the back of the knife: "Did you fucking lie to me?"

"What the villain says is true, but the villain doesn't dare!" It's not that Ma Zhuo is afraid of pain, but that if he recruits the Hu family, his family will also suffer.

"Sir, I have evidence!"

Ma Zhuo risked his life: "As long as the master is willing to recruit the villain into the Jinyi Guard, the villain is willing to serve the master!"

He also has to preserve his family.

Entering Jinyiwei is the only way out. He must kill the Hu Yan family before he can survive.

But Yan Fang hesitated.

The Hu family is a hornet's nest, and Jin Yiwei is a bit afraid to provoke it.

We can only take Ma Zhuo to Hukou.

Jin Zhong was trembling when he heard that he was related to Hu Yan's descendants.

Hu Guang has been moved!

Now, another famous official of Yongle Dynasty will be destroyed at the hands of Jin Yiwei?

He didn't care about Jin Yiwei's reputation. The question was, how would the emperor end it?
I knew a big fish would be involved.

But I didn't expect this fish to be so big.

"Admiral, what should we do?"

Jin Zhong closed his eyes and opened them immediately: "Reselling weapons and killing all nine tribes, no matter who it is! Catch him!"

Yan Fang's pupils shrank, Jin Zhong was gambling with his own life.

Bet that the emperor will protect him.

Even if the civil servants all over the world stab the emperor in the spine, the emperor will protect him.

Jin Zhong had no choice but to arrest him. Otherwise, if he turned a blind eye to such a big arms case, how could the emperor explain it?

"I obey the order!" Yan Fang was a little scared.

Jin Zhong waved his hand: "You don't want to go, send Sha Xuan."

Yan Fang is his confidant and must be protected.

Hu Yan is much more powerful than Hu Guang. Hu Yan's disciples have too many old officials. A single move can affect the whole body. The emperor can protect his loyalty, but he may not protect Yan Fang.

If Yan Fang does this, he will definitely die.

Therefore, we can only let Sha Hyun die, and then take good care of Sha Hyun's family. At the worst, he can adopt Sha Hyun's son as his adopted son.

"Thank you, Admiral, for your support." Yan Fang's forehead was covered with sweat.

Sha Xuan is still helping the family settle the property in Guangxin Mansion.

The news spread quickly from Jiujiang Prefecture to Guangxin Prefecture.

at the same time.

The city of Nanjing fell into a brief eerie silence.

When Princess Hanshan was in her seventh year, a group of uninvited guests broke the silence of Nanjing.

Chen Wuyang led his army to surround the Yin family.

The person in charge of the Yin family is Yin Yu's eldest son, named Yin Huang.

When Yin Huang saw Chen Wuyang, he shivered instinctively and saluted, "Sir, my father is still filial to me..."

"Since you know it's a funeral, why don't you wear mourning clothes?" Chen Wuyang asked him.

The weather was too hot, so he just took off his mourning clothes.

Snapped!
Chen Wuyang slapped him in the face: "The princess is mourning, and you are the grandson of the princess, but you take the lead in being unfilial!"

Yin Huang was stunned.

Even if I'm unfilial, it's not your turn to supervise me, right?
"Come here, arrest everyone who is not wearing mourning clothes!" Chen Wuyang was just looking for trouble.

Yin Huang was caught first.

Chen Wuyang got close to Yin Huang's face: "I will personally judge you, why are you unfilial!"

Yin Huang knew that his uncle and cousin were played to death by Chen Wuyang.

Even the death of my grandmother was related to the governor.

This Chen Wuyang was born to defeat the Yin family.

They were not taken away for interrogation. Time was tight, so they picked an empty room and started the interrogation directly.

"Yin Huang, do you know how your cousin Yin Hui died? He was swollen to death by an eel!" Chen Wuyang described it.

Yin Huang turned pale with fright.

"Your father also played, but your father was lucky enough to escape."

Chen Wuyang smiled and said, "This time, it's your turn."

"No, no!" Yin Huang said that he had not committed a crime and everyone knew that prison could not use lynching.

"Whether you commit a crime or not, the supervisor has the final say."

Chen Wuyang smiled and patted him: "I said you committed a crime, so you committed a crime!"

"Since he has committed a crime, there is no problem for me to impose punishment."

Yin Huang sat on the ground in fright.

"But there are no eels today. There is only a piece of wood. Let's see if you can resist it."

Chen Wuyang smiled evilly: "Your father's fate is great, but you don't know that your fate is great."

Yin Zhuo knew that if his grandmother died, the Yin family would be in trouble.

"However."

Chen Wuyang changed the subject: "I am willing to give you a chance to plead guilty."

"I'm willing to say anything, I'm willing to say it!" Yin Huang didn't want to play with a wooden stick, that thing was worse than an eel.

"Who is in charge of your Yin family's business at sea?"

Yin Huang slowly lowered his head.

But Chen Wuyang hit him on the head with the handle of the knife: "Just put this handle in!"

"No!"

Yin Huan cried and howled: "Yes, my uncle is in charge!"

"What about the ledger?"

"Not at home, in the village in the countryside, everything is in the village in the countryside!" Yin Huo cried.

Chen Wuyang immediately led people to control Zhuangzi of the Yin family.

More than 100 boxes of ledgers were moved from several houses.

The account books are detailed, with details of all transactions, including gains and losses, as well as the person and place of the transaction, very detailed.

"Where is the account book of the sea-going ship?" Chen Wuyang asked, grabbing an accountant.

The cashier pointed to a box tremblingly.

After opening it, there are all the records about sea ships on it.

Chen Wuyang didn't quite understand.

Immediately let someone pull the horse and hitch the cart, send it to the governor's palace, and hand it over to Wang Hong.

The news that the Yin family had been arrested spread like thunder.

At the same time, the Nanzhili garrison took over the city defense and all city gates in Nanjing were closed.

Ren Li, the commander of the remaining sidu in Zhongdu, personally led the army and was stationed in Tianchang. He could send his army into Yingtian Mansion at any time.

Wang Cheng, the commander-in-chief of the Five Prefectures, led his troops to station in Chaohu and could march into Hezhou at any time.

In fact, after the death of Princess Hanshan, the two armies began to move and march in secret.

At this moment, everyone knew that the sky was falling!
Wang Hong received all the ledgers and immediately asked the Prime Minister to summarize them and then check the ledgers.

Ren Li arrested Yin Hui.

Song Wei escorted Yin Hui and led his army to sea to receive the ships.

"Shocking!"

Wang Hong spent three days and three nights roughly checking the account books.

"This mere Yin family has made tens of millions of taels of profits at sea in 40 years."

"Those implicated are countless!"

"No wonder they don't let anyone check!"

"If this is investigated, the first person to be investigated will be the Duke of Wei!
"Change your clothes for me!"

"I personally visited the Duke of Wei!"

Wang Hong put on his official robe, took an official sedan, and went to the Duke of Wei's mansion.

Xu Chengzong was sitting in the hall, waiting for Wang Hong to come.

There was fear in his eyes.

Just look at Princess Hanshan. Even though Princess Hanshan’s funeral was very glorious, in an instant the Yin family was confiscated and exterminated.

This shows the emperor's vicious heart.

This time, we will definitely not give up.

If you are an ordinary gentry, you can go hide among the people.

But not his family.

If he dares to leave Nanjing City, he is rebelling, and his entire clan will be killed.

He is a distinguished noble and the Duke of Ming Dynasty.

Wang Hong visited: "Wei Guogong is safe, has he figured out how to explain to the central government?"

Xu Chengzong didn't expect Wang Hong to be so direct.

He stood up and knelt on the ground: "Please help Mr. Wang Ge!"

"You'd better go find Shi Pu for help."

Xu Chengzong's pupils shrank, how much did Wang Hong know?
"I am an imperial minister personally appointed by His Majesty. I patrol the hunt on behalf of the heavens. My words and deeds represent the will of heaven!"

Wang Hong said loudly: "Xu Chengzong, do you dare to deceive the Holy One?"

Xu Chengzong kowtowed in the direction of the Forbidden City: "I don't dare!"

"Then have you ever participated in smuggling?"

"Involved!"

Xu Chengzong heard it, and Wang Hong seemed not to want to kill him.

Instead, I wanted to extract some money from him.

This is a good thing.

"How much participation? How much profit? Take it seriously!"

Xu Chengzong was also honest and asked people to bring the account books.

Wang Hong squinted his eyes and estimated that he was similar to the Yin family. The Duke of Wei was well prepared.

Use this little money to send the Holy One away?

It seems that the inheritance of Wei Guogong has come to an end.

"Seeing that you have a good attitude in pleading guilty, I will intercede for you at the discretion of the Holy Lord."

Xu Chengzong breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the emperor was cleaning up Southern Zhili just because he wanted money.

Then give it to him!

For a mere 1000 million taels of silver, he, the Duke of Wei, still looked down upon him.

He is also thinking.

Why did the emperor hold him up high and put him down gently?

We are definitely not worried about the unrest in Southern Zhili, because the Xu family has another branch of Dingguogong. There are defenders in Southern Zhili. The Ming Dynasty has been established for a hundred years, how can it be possible to rebel?
It probably has something to do with the Mu family, Duke of Guizhou.

His family was related by marriage to the Mu family, and the emperor was worried that if his family was touched, the Mu family would become disloyal, so he let the Xu family go.

What a blessing from the ancestors.

How lucky you are to be able to escape such a huge disaster.

"Since Wei Guogong has admitted it."

"Then this matter will no longer be under our control and will be handed over to the factory guard."

"I have ordered Chen Wuyang to wait outside the mansion. Let's announce his entrance now."

Wang Hong asked him to get up.

what?
Xu Chengzong's eyes widened, Chen Wuyang?The guy who killed Princess Hanshan?

Is this raised high?Put it down gently?
Damn it, this is going to kill me, the Duke of Wei!

"Old man!"

Xu Chengzong said anxiously: "Mr. Ge, all the subordinates have confessed."

"If you admit your mistake and accept the punishment, you can just wait for the imperial edict of the central government. How much and how much punishment you should be punished. I, the Duke of Wei, have accepted it and don't dare to have the slightest complaint."

"Why do you still need to use factory guards? Please take back your order, Mr. Ge!"

Chen Wuyang came in to help.

What they want is definitely not the wealth of the Duke of Wei, but the title of Duke of Wei!I want the life of the Duke of Wei!
But Wang Hong smiled: "Wei Guogong, your body is upright and you are not afraid of slanting shadows."

"Since you are telling the truth, why are you afraid of investigation?"

"Besides, this kind of investigation is not under our jurisdiction."

"Is there any difference between handing you over to the factory guards today and handing you over to the factory guards tomorrow?"

Pfft!
Xu Chengzong sat softly on the chair.

What does emperor mean?
Are you going to take the title of Duke of his family?
Is his heart so cruel?Don’t you care about your ancestors at all?

Wang Hong smiled and said: "Don't worry, Duke Wei. As long as you cooperate with the investigation, no matter how courageous Chen Wuyang is, he will not dare to touch you, the Duke of Ming Dynasty."

Princess Hanshan is noble?

Or am I, the Duke of Wei, noble?

Wasn’t Princess Hanshan still killed by Chen Wuyang?What is the fate of the Yin family now?
Will my Xu family be worse off than the Yin family?
"Mr. Ge, the Xu family is willing to donate [-] ships to your Majesty! Please spare your life!" Xu Chengzong panicked.

People make mistakes when they panic.

Look, what did he say in a hurry?

Wang Hong narrowed his eyes: "How much did you say?"

Xu Chengzong kowtowed: "The Duke of Wei is willing to donate all the ships to His Majesty!"

"But how can I determine how much money your family has?" Wang Hong asked in a low voice.

This this?

Xu Chengzong stared at the harmless Wang Hong with wide eyes.

Suddenly I understood that Wang Hong had been hiding behind the scenes, manipulating Chen Wuyang and using Chen Wuyang as a tool.

He is the worst!

"Wei Guogong, please use your brain." Wang Hong was still laughing.

"Mr. Wangge, don't you want to be known as a civil servant?"

Xu Chengzong hissed: "You killed Ma Shun in the Fengtian Palace, eliminated Wang Zhen's traitorous party, and stabilized the government. Do you want to lose this good reputation?"

"This pavilion patrols the sky on behalf of heaven and earth, establishes a heart for heaven and earth, and establishes justice for all people. How can I lose my reputation?"

Wang Hong asked back: "It's you instead, Duke Wei!"

"The majestic Duke of Ming Dynasty!"

"You actually disregarded the laws of the country and the family, risked the disapproval of the world, smuggled trade, trapped ships on the sea, and raised pirates outside. What do you want to do?"

"Do you want to wear a yellow robe?"

Xu Chengzong’s eyes widened!

"You, you, you are slandering the Duke of Wei to rebel!"

Xu Chengzong was trembling all over: "My Xu family is loyal to His Majesty, how can we visit?"

"You, Wang Hong, are spitting blood!"

Wang Hong wants to destroy Wei Guogong's entire family!

"Then what is your Xu family's ship used for? Don't tell me, it's just for fun!"

That's right.

Wang Hong just wants to destroy your Wei Guogong family!
If I don’t destroy you, how can I shake the deep-rooted rule of the Jiangnan gentry?

If I don't kill you, how can I charge your Xu family tens of millions of taels of silver?
If I can't destroy you, how can I collect tens of thousands of overseas ships?
Wang Hong's smile remained the same: "If you are upright, you are not afraid of the shadow. Duke Wei, please take care of yourself!"

The Wei Guogong Mansion was only the first one.

There are many officials, nobles, and merchants behind, and they all need to be liquidated one by one!
Zhang Feng is right.

The emperor sent me here to release a mad dog and a poisonous man. I can no longer be Jia Xu, I can only be Zhang Tang!
"It's over, it's over..."

Xu Chengzong murmured to himself.

By the time he reacted, Chen Wuyang had already appeared in the lobby.

"See Duke Wei!" Chen Wuyang saluted respectfully.

Xu Chengzong took a deep breath and pretended to be calm: "My Lord is tired and needs to rest."

"My lord, wait a minute."

Chen Wuyang smiled and said: "Although you are the Duke of the current dynasty, you are also a criminal who has lowered your rank."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Even if my prince commits a crime, he is still waiting for the Holy Judgment."

"Who do you think you are, saying that my father-in-law is a criminal?"

Xu Chengzong panicked.

He was afraid of Chen Wuyang.

This is crazy.

It was obvious from the time he came to Nanjing that this person did things regardless of the consequences and didn't care about his own life or death at all.

If he falls into his hands, the entire Duke's palace will surely die.

"The Duke has gone too far."

"This official is just a deputy commander under the supervision of Tuzhi."

"Without an imperial edict, how come you didn't dare to touch the Duke of your dynasty?"

Chen Wuyang was not angry either.

In the city of Nanjing, half of the people have the surname Xu, and in the entire southern Zhili, one-third have the surname Xu.How dare Chen Wuyang get angry when being insulted by such a rich brother?

"but!"

Chen Wuyang changed the subject: "The lower official was ordered by the imperial envoy to supervise the Duke of Wei's mansion!"

"from now on!"

"All clansmen, servants, and servants of the Duke of Wei's mansion, those who are outside should return immediately, and those who are inside are not allowed to go out!"

"Until the Holy Emperor's decree reaches Nanjing, otherwise you, Duke of Wei, will have no choice but to listen to your subordinates."

Chen Wuyang's tone was sharp at first, but gradually, he showed a mean smile.

"Is this a prison sentence? I, the Duke of Wei, am the Duke of the dynasty, why should I be detained?" The Duke of Wei looked stern but was heartbroken.

Snapped!
Chen Wuyang suddenly slapped Xu Chengzong on the face.

"Is this enough?"

Chen Wuyang came close to Xu Chengzong's face fiercely: "Don't force me, I will let you die today, believe it or not?"

Xu Chengzong looked at Chen Wuyang with a ferocious face and touched his cheek: "You, you dare to hit Wei Guogong?"

"I even dare to beat up Princess Hanshan, you are nothing!"

Chen Wuyang chuckled ferociously, and then said seriously: "The official has only one master, and that is the emperor."

"Your Majesty asked the official to die, but the official didn't blink an eye;"

"Your Majesty lets me live my life, so I will live a wonderful life, hahaha!"

Pfft!
Xu Chengzong fell to the ground.

This is a lunatic!
What he meant was: if he killed Wei Guogong, the emperor could kick him out to take the blame, and he would die without any complaints.

Use Chen Wuyang, a mere Chen Wuyang, to replace Wei Guogong.

If the emperor lets him live, it means that you, the Duke of Wei, have exhausted all your anger.

"So, be obedient and save yourself the trouble."

Chen Wuyang walked out of the main hall: "Come here, seal the entire Duke's Mansion. No one is allowed to enter or leave. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"

"Within one hour, all the people from Wei Guogong's mansion who are out of town and have not come back will be punished as rebels and killed!"

"Anyone in the mansion who dares to look out, exchange news, or speak to each other will be killed without mercy!"

Looking at the majestic Chen Wuyang.

Xu Chengzong knew that the Duke of Wei could not escape this disaster.

However, Xu Er, who was only nine years old, ran out of the backyard and saluted Chen Wuyang: "Sir, my mother is not in good health. She needs doctors to come to the house from time to time, and she also has to go to the pharmacy to buy medicine. Can it be convenient? "

"Who are you?" Chen Wuyang lowered his head and asked him.

"My lord, my student Xu Er is the eldest son of the Duke of Wei!" Xu Er was respectful and polite.

Chen Wuyang walked down the steps and touched his head: "Your mother is sick, let her die of illness, so as not to be a burden."

Xu Erru was hit hard. How could this man say such vicious words?

His mother is the majestic wife of Wei Guogong!
Looking at his father again, he was huddled at the door and said nothing.

Xu Yan gritted his teeth. He had read the books of sages since he was a child. His mother's illness was a big deal. This was filial piety. The Ming Dynasty governed the country with filial piety, and he could not violate filial piety.

"Sir...ah!" Xu Yan screamed.

Chen Wuyang grabbed the top of his head with his five fingers and dug at his scalp: "Young Master, do you know what crimes have been committed in your house? Ah?"

Xu Yan screamed.

Chen Wuyang grabbed his little head and shook it hard: "It's still clean if you die now. But when the central government orders your whole family to be executed, it will be painful!"

"I, the Duke of Wei, are loyal to Your Majesty and have absolutely no intention of rebellion. Don't even think about unjustly accusing my family!" Xu Chu roared in pain.

"Rebellion? Your family is more serious than rebellion!" Chen Wuyang threatened him.

But Xu Yan said seriously: "We, the Duke of Wei, have been loyal to Your Majesty since our ancestors began, and we will never change our minds!"

"If Your Majesty executes my family, my family will die calmly in order to fulfill the righteousness of the king and his subjects."

"If evil people maliciously slander my family, my family will never give in!"

Chen Wuyang suddenly stopped shaking his hand and looked at Xu Yan, who was only nine years old.

"Aren't you afraid of me at all?" Chen Wuyang stared at him with fierce eyes.

Just this look in his eyes made his father Xu Chengzong afraid.

"You are not afraid of slanting shadows if you are upright! My family is open and open, so I am not afraid of it!" Xu Chu said loudly.

He was also afraid.

But mother's illness cannot be delayed. If Chen Wuyang said it, mother will definitely die.

He wants to fight for a chance of survival for his mother.

Chen Wuyang looked back at Xu Chengzong, who was hesitant to speak at the door: "Compared to your son, you have completely embarrassed the Duke!"

"If you Xu Er grow up one day, you will become a great person!"

Chen Wuyang let Xu Yan go.

Xu Er refused to let Chen Wuyang go: "Sir, can you allow a quasi-medicine to come into the house and get medicine for my mother?"

"Yes!" Chen Wuyang rarely raised his hand.

When Xu Chengzong saw that his son was neither humble nor arrogant, he really felt that he had lost all his dignity.

A son like this is worthy of this life.

"Thank you for your permission, sir!" Xu Ren saluted respectfully.

At this moment, Wang Hong was in the Wang Family Mansion in Longtan.

The Wang family is not simple. Their ancestors can be traced back to the Jin Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty has produced four Jinshis so far. There are still two in the army today, one is a commander in the Nanjing garrison, and the other is a Qianhu in Nanjing Jinyiwei.

His daughters are not simple either. One married into the Duke of Wei, one married Cheng Xian, the censor of Zuodu of Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, and one married Yuan Wu, the commander of Nanjing Jichuan Guards.

In the city of Nanjing, there are also a large number of nobles.

Moreover, his family has a branch that does business. It is said that his family has shares in many businesses in South Zhili.

The Yin family's sea trade cooperates with the Wang family.

The Wang family and the Yin family are both in-laws of the Duke of Wei, so the one in the middle must be the Duke of Wei.

Grandpa Wang, who is nearly eighty years old, is currently receiving Wang Hong.

From the moment the city gate closed, he knew something was wrong, and immediately sent people to the village in the countryside to burn the ledgers to save himself.

All trade at sea will be suspended.

"Old lady, if the Wang family has done anything, the central government will naturally send someone to investigate."

Wang Hong said with a smile: "But now that Nanjing city is closed and people are panicked, we need to stabilize people's hearts, so we can only borrow the old lady's head."

"what?"

The old man was confused: "Borrow, borrow the little old man's head? Ah? Does the Ming Dynasty still have Wang Fa?"

"Of course there is a king's law for good people, but for scum, there is only a butcher's knife!"

Wang Hong smiled like a spring breeze: "I personally hold the sword, which is already an honor for your Wang family."

Who else wouldn't be killed?
But really not.

If Chen Wuyang were to kill him, the effect would definitely not be as good as Wang Hong.

Wang Hong wanted to kill more than just the gentry in southern Zhili.

He also wanted to kill the officials in the Nanjing court!

The order must be to kill the officials first, then the gentry.

"My family is a good citizen. My family has provided food for Emperor Taizu and food for Emperor Taizong!"

The old man cried: "My family has sacrificed so much for our country, but in the end we ended up in this situation!"

"Mr. Wangge, aren't you afraid of the rebellion in Southern Zhili?"

Why don't you just say that pirates will invade the border?
Wang Hong sneered: "Look, I just said a few words, and you, old lady, were involved in the rebellion."

"Don't you know that thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness?"

"The Holy Spirit allows you to live out of kindness, and allows you to die out of kindness as well!"

"You dare to slander the Holy One?"

"Everyone should be executed!"

Wang Hong suddenly stretched out his hand and shouted: "Here comes the knife!"

The blade cut across.

Mrs. Wang saw her head fall to the ground.

Then, Wang Hong picked up Mrs. Wang’s head and said, “The Wang family, who participated in sea trade smuggling, must be punished for their crimes!”

"The culprit has been captured!"

"The entire clan is imprisoned and awaiting trial!"

The Wang family was stunned.

Is the conviction so hasty?

This kills?
Wang Hong carried the old man's head and walked out of the palace: "Everyone who is related to the Wang family by marriage will be arrested and interrogated severely!"

"Where is Fan Qing?"

"Go and arrest Cheng Xian, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, yourself!"

Fan Qing was dumbfounded. Wang Hong was so brave and started killing without evidence.

This is to kill the city of Nanjing and bleed it into a river.

"Mark the order!"

Fan Qing also had to follow suit.

Wang Hong didn't want Cheng Xian alive, but Cheng Xian's head.

Use the heads of Mrs. Wang and Cheng Xian to shock the Nanjing court.

Fan Qing mounted a fast horse and led the people from Dongchang straight to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

At this time, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was still at work.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate was suddenly called in.

A man stopped him at the door, but he was stabbed twice.

Fan Qing rushed in and shouted: "Who is Cheng Xian? Get out!"

Cheng Xian's eyes were filled with fire: "Do you dare to call me by my first name?"

puff!
Fan Qing jumped over and slashed Cheng Xian's neck with his knife, directly cutting off the big head.

"what!"

The Metropolitan Procuratorate exclaimed and pointed at Fan Qing: "Conspiracy, rebellion!"

"It was Cheng Xian who conspired to rebel!"

Fan Qing picked up Cheng Xian's head from the ground: "I am Fan Qing, the commander of Dongchang. I came to Nanjing to investigate the case under the emperor's order. The people killed are all criminals!"

He sheathed the knife.

At the same time, take out Dongchang's waist card.

Let everyone check it out.

In fact, everyone knows Fan Qing. Fan Qing has been in Nanzhili for so long. He is inconspicuous and has been completely overshadowed by Chen Wuyang.

But unexpectedly, as soon as he appeared on the stage, he used the head of Zuodu Yushi as a stepping stone.

"From now on, all official residences in Nanjing City are not allowed to be touched without permission!"

"You can only be free after I find out!"

"No one is allowed to move without the seal of the Imperial Envoy. Anyone who violates this rule will be executed!"

Fan Qing roared.

Then he left Cheng Xian's headless body and walked directly out of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Go back and report to Wang Hong.

Wang Hong then went to the Fengtian Palace in the Forbidden City in Nanjing to summon officials.

He was holding Taigong Wang's head in his hand.

Fan Qing sent Cheng Xian's head over again.

He sent Fan Qing out to investigate the families of officials in various ministries in Nanjing, starting with Cheng Tong, the Minister of Civil Service, to collect their evidence and send it over as quickly as possible!
"I obey the order!" Fan Qing went again.

Wang Hong's eyes flashed, who should he kill first?
Nowadays, most of the officials in Southern Zhili have been promoted recently, and those with considerable political achievements have been transferred to Northern Zhili. They are all promoted by officials from below.

Open the long-dusted Fengtian Temple.

He placed the emperor's imperial decree and the Emperor's Sword on the dragon case, conferring Wang Hong the title of Imperial Envoy.

Respectfully bow three times and kowtow nine times.

Then he knelt on the ground.

One after another, important ministers from various ministries in Nanjing entered the Fengtian Hall as if they were attending court in the morning.

None of them had ever been to court, and they knew very little about the rules.

When I entered the hall, I saw Wang Hong kneeling on the ground.

On the dragon table, there are the imperial edict and the emperor's sword.

The others followed suit and all knelt on the ground.

In the Fengtian Hall of Nanjing, another group of people from various ministries in Nanjing were all kneeling in the Fengtian Hall. There was no emperor on the dragon throne, and the scene was somewhat strange.

"My colleagues, are you all here?" Wang Hong said slowly.

If you want to clean up Nanzhili, you must first start killing in the court.

Then kill Xungui.

Then kill the nobles.

"My lord, the Imperial Envoy, Wei Guang, the Minister of Rites, has arrived due to illness, and all the others have arrived." Cheng Tong, the Minister of Official Affairs, reported back.

Cheng Tong was a Jinshi in the second year of Xuande's reign, and was replaced by the Right Minister. He was just promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Personnel this year.

But he has been an official in Nanjing for more than ten years.

"Okay, then don't wait for him!"

Wang Hong said coldly: "I will send someone to his house to tell him what a big event happened in Fengtian Hall today!"

"Bring it up!"

Fanzi presented the two heads.

No one knows Mrs. Wang.

But everyone knows Cheng Xian. Cheng Xian was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Xuande, the censor of Zuodu, and he was also newly appointed.

It was ordered by the emperor!
"Do you recognize this person?" Wang Hong asked coldly.

"Of course I recognize it."

"That's good."

Wang Hong pointed at Mrs. Wang: "He is Cheng Xian's father-in-law!"

"The head of the Longtan Wang family."

"You have been serving as officials in Nanzhili for a long time. Isn't this Wang family familiar to you?"

Only then did the Southern Zhili officials know who this person was!
Such a big man actually died?
"He was killed by me personally. Do you know why I wanted to kill him?"

Wang Hong looked back: "I am here to eliminate traitors for the country!"

"he!"

"Allying with the Yin family, in vain to follow the laws of the court, secretly trade with overseas countries, privately engage in maritime trade, support pirates, and bring disaster to the country and the people!"

"So I will kill him!"

"Do you think he should die?"

Wang Hong showed the same magnanimity as when he beat Ma Shun to death in Fengtian Palace.

Today, this big thing has been accomplished. In the future, he will be the chief minister and the minister of the Ministry of official affairs!

If you can't do it, you will die.

Cheng Tong and Zheng Liang looked at each other, both looking horrified.

The Fengtian Palace, which had not been opened for decades, was suddenly opened. Wang Hong hunted on behalf of the sky and put the emperor's sword on the dragon case. Was he going to kill all the ministers in the Fengtian Palace?

"Excuse me, your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, do you have any evidence?" Zheng Liang, the Minister of Punishment, asked.

Zheng Liang was a Jinshi in the eighth year of Xuande, No. 5 on the second list.

He was different from others. He had just arrived in Nanjing as an official. He had been an official in Huguang and was promoted to Nanzhili. Because of his good luck, he was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

"Can the Yin family's account books be used as evidence?" Wang Hong looked back at him.

Zheng Liang frowned, could he kill people casually with just a ledger?

"Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, we, the Ming Dynasty, rule the country by law. The laws of the Ming Dynasty clearly state that if you catch a thief and take away his filth, and you kill someone without evidence, you are committing indiscriminate killing and should be punished."

Wang Hong did not expect that Zheng Liang would be the first to stand up against him.

But in this palace, the cleanest person is Zheng Liang.

No matter what Zheng Liang did in Huguang, he certainly didn't do it in Nanzhili, because he was just transferred here this year.

"How does Mr. Zheng think we should investigate and collect evidence?" Wang Hong asked him.

"According to His Majesty's new system, Angelica Dali Temple will investigate, and the Criminal Department will make conclusions and decisions." Zheng Liang said calmly.

"What Mr. Zheng said is true."

Wang Hong said sternly: "Can I use you to investigate? Or should I use Cheng Tong to investigate? Can I trust you?"

"Can you find out the truth?"

"what?"

boom!
There was an uproar in Fengtian Hall.

Wang Hong What does this mean?
You are the cabinet minister of the capital, but we are also important ministers of various ministries in Nanjing. Do we deserve to be insulted by you?
"Old Wang Ge, although you are an imperial envoy, you cannot bully us!"

Cheng Tong was no longer willing: "You, Wang Hong, couldn't produce any evidence, so you killed the people, and then you excused yourself afterwards and accused us of being guilty. What's the point of this?"

"Cheng Tong!"

Wang Hong was too lazy to argue and went straight to the point: "Your name is on the Yin family's account books!"

"So what if it has a name?"

"How many people in the world know my name?"

"Could it be that whoever writes my name in it will make me guilty?"

Cheng Tong said again: "Mr. Wangge, if you just say that whoever is guilty is guilty, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

These words caused heated discussion in Fengtian Hall.

Zhang Feng, who was kneeling not far away, looked at Cheng Tong and shook his head slightly.

He and Cheng Tong were Jinshi in the same year and had a closer relationship with each other. However, Cheng Tong himself was seeking death. Since Wang Hong dared to open the Fengtian Hall, it proved to be sure.

He was also sent down by the central government.

Chen Wuyang gave the first performance.

Wang Hong did the second show.

He, Zhang Feng, is about to do the third game!
"Silence!"

"In the Fengtian Palace, is this a place where you can discuss things at will?"

"There are no rules at all. Reading has gone into a dog's belly? Have you forgotten all the etiquette and laws?"

Wang Hong was on full fire.

"Come on!"

"Send me the ledger!"

"Read!"

The transactions between the Yin family and Cheng Tong are kept in ledgers.

But Cheng Tong didn't care. After the death of Princess Hanshan, he knew something was wrong and had already cleaned up the matter. All the evidence was destroyed and he couldn't be traced at all.

Many people in the temple have cut off their tails in order to survive.

So when Wang Hong called them, they were not afraid.

Let Wang Hong and the factory guards investigate at will, and they will definitely find nothing. At worst, they will put all the blame on the Yin family and let the Yin family take the blame.

"Mr. Wangge, if you don't trust Xiaguan, you can send someone to Xiaguan's home to check."

"You can check as much as you want!"

"Whoever you want to investigate, let them investigate!"

"The official is upright and is not afraid of slanting shadows!"

"You can investigate as you like. If you find anything, I will kill you if you are willing to lead me to the neck;"

"If nothing is found, I will file a complaint against you to seek justice!"

Cheng Tong was contented.

Wang Hong raised the corners of his mouth, knowing that Cheng Tong would not give in.

He slowly turned his head, looked at Cheng Tong kneeling behind him, suddenly smiled, and punched him.

It hit Cheng Tong directly in the face.

"Ah!" Cheng Tong was caught off guard.

Who would have thought that Wang Hong would suddenly act like a hooligan.

Wang Hong also had the experience of beating Ma Shun to death in Fengtian Palace.

After knocking Cheng Tong over, he took the opportunity to turn over and ride on Cheng Tong, punching him hard.

"Look who dares to stop me, I'll beat him to death!" Wang Hong refused to allow anyone to help him, and shouted with his old fist hard at Cheng Tong's face.

He was mainly worried that others would help Cheng Tong beat him.

So he first used his old fist to target everyone, and no one was allowed to help.

There is no emperor sitting on the dragon throne. The one with the highest official position is Wang Hong. Wang Hong ignores the rules and beats people. He acts like a gangster first. What can the others do?
"I killed someone, please help me!"

Cheng Tong could only scream.

He and Wang Hong are both old men, and they are both old and frail.

However, Wang Hong had been training all year round and was a fierce man among civil servants who killed generals. In addition, he was mentally calculating but not careful, so he defeated Cheng Tong first.

By the time Cheng Tong reacted, he had already been punched several times.

"Help, help!" Cheng Tong screamed.

Bang!
Wang Hong hit Cheng Tong hard on the face with an old punch. Cheng Tong vomited blood: "Scream, scream! I like to hear your screams!"

Zheng Liang was stunned. He was not Ma Shun, but Cheng Tong, the Minister of Civil Affairs in Nanjing.

When you beat him to death in the Fengtian Palace, were you following Wang Mang's example?

Bang!
Another punch made Cheng Tong vomit blood.

Cheng Tong's face was stained with blood and injuries, and he looked at Wang Hong with dull eyes: "How dare you?"

"This is the Fengtian Palace, where His Majesty handles state affairs!"

"You beat up the imperial official in the Fengtian Palace. What are you going to do?"

"Wang Hong, you are the one who wants to rebel!"

"You know how to frame him!" Wang Hong sneered.

Cheng Tong was dying and said: "I am loyal to Your Majesty and dedicated to serving the public, but you, Wang Hong, beat me like this!"

"Okay, I, Cheng Tong, admit defeat."

"I can let His Majesty see your true face, Wang Hong! This beating is worth it!"

"Look at you Wang Hong, carrying His Majesty's imperial edict and holding the Emperor's Sword given by His Majesty."

"But what did you do?"

"In Nanzhili, he did not engage in government affairs, but played music and songs every night. He was also good at killing civilians, framed the Yin family, and killed Cheng Xian, the censor of Zuodu. It was a heinous crime!"

"Wang Hong, what are you going to do?"

"Do you want to imitate Liu Yu? Do you regard His Majesty as Emperor Jin'an?"

"But the wise ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are not the mediocre ministers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty!"

"No one allows you, Wang Hong, to be like Liu Yu or Wang Mang!"

"You are not allowed to break the rules of the court!"

Cheng Tong wailed: "Your Majesty! You must give me justice, justice!"

He put all the shit basins on Wang Hong's head.

Wang Hong was just laughing.

Laughing and punching him.

Cheng Tong muttered words and kept saying that all kinds of shit basins were thrown at Wang Hong's head, portraying himself as a victim and a loyal minister.

And Wang Hong is the biggest traitor, traitor and rebel.

But at this moment, someone came in quickly.
