People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 265 Old Mrs. Zhang wants to die! You can't go against her wishes! kill! !

After hearing Chen Han's words, Mrs. Zhang was so frightened that she took several steps back.

I never thought that Chen Han could be so unruly.

Chen Han is really not that kind of person, he is very knowledgeable.

Since the Zhang family doesn't like to follow rules, and since the Zhang family always feels that money can settle everything,

Then Chen Han told them that sometimes money couldn't satisfy him, so he just wanted to ransack their homes.

Chen Han smiled and looked at the old woman standing in front of the horse's head, and said to him seriously, "You Shanxi merchants, I also heard what His Highness the King of Jin said,

On the surface, he is willing to cooperate with the imperial court in building the Western branch of the Ming Dynasty Chamber of Commerce here.

But deep down, you are thinking about how to protect your own property.

You still want to use the Kai Zhong method to blackmail the court, just like you, an old woman,

Do you think you can pay as much as you want in the court's salt tax? Do you pay less if you pay less?

I think the Zhang family has been a little too peaceful here in Taiyuan Mansion. The days of covering the sky with one hand will never happen again.

Just because the imperial court had no time to spare and killed you all doesn't mean it has no memory.

Old woman, what does your little money mean to the court? "

As Chen Han waved his hand, a lot of people wearing uniforms were rushed to the front from behind.

It turns out that Chen Han and the others had already thought about it before doing anything, and they wanted to give these people a blow.

On the way here, Chen Han received a letter from His Highness the King of Jin, saying that these businessmen laughed when they mentioned that they could make a fortune with the imperial court.

But when the court asked them to fund the construction of factories,

And when you want to get part of the profit from it,

Alas, everyone is unwilling.

It means that we can prostitute things from your court for free.

Your court cannot cause us any harm.

It's okay for us to take advantage, but it's not okay for us to draw blood.

In their eyes, opening up China to France was a reciprocal transaction between them and the imperial court.

In their eyes, it was such a noble thing to provide food and fodder for the soldiers in the nine important towns of the imperial court.

The court must reward us well.

As for asking us to give the imperial court any benefits, that won't do.

We only know how to take advantage, but we don’t know how to pay.

After Chen Han received the letter from His Highness King Jin, he was very angry.

What does it mean to be wise and stupid? It's nothing more than this.

Each of these Shanxi merchants felt that the court must rely on them because a lot of profits had flowed into their pockets over the years.

In the past, the freight cost for grain and grass in the important town of Jiubian was so high because the roads were not easy to travel. Even in plain areas, the distance was not cost-effective. Cooperation with Shanxi merchants was also a last resort. The main reason was to use their channels.

And these Shanxi merchants have also developed an appetite in the past twenty years.

It was a major military and state matter related to an important border town. No one in the government along the way dared to take on such a role.

Because you don’t know which battle at the border was defeated because you blocked the Shanxi merchants who were sending food to the border.

When the responsibility is investigated, it will only be a minor matter.

He might be labeled as a person who delayed important military and national affairs, and his whole family would be executed.

Therefore, these Shanxi merchants became more and more powerful and felt more and more powerful and important.

This is why, in the later period, these Shanxi merchants dared to cooperate with the Jurchens outside the Great Wall.

In their eyes, everything is just a matter of profit.

Since the Ming Dynasty court could no longer afford to buy its own grain, it would trade with the Jurchens in the north.

They were betting on both sides. No matter whether the Ming court could survive or whether the Jurchens could establish a new world, they would not lose.

They even cooperated with the peasant rebel army at that time.

These people have no morals at all.

In their eyes, everything is a business, everything is a transaction, and everything is a human relationship.

As for the so-called family, country and world, as for the so-called responsibilities, to them they are nothing more than bullshit.

Just like this Zhang Yi, he can actually say something like buying someone's life with money, which shows how arrogant he is on a daily basis.

They are indeed arrogant and have capital. They cooperate with the imperial court to use the Kaichu method. The imperial court gives them salt and they provide food to the imperial court. It is such a noble thing, but behind it is bloody oppression.

Chen Han saw through these people, so he immediately canceled the opening method.

This method of opening up China did alleviate the pressure on the court to transport food to a certain extent, but compared with the escaped salt taxes, it was simply not worth the loss.

It even raised a group of borers.

These borers are most of the Shanxi merchants.

To put it harshly, these people are not much different from traitors.

It is such a shameful thing to support the enemy during the war.

So Chen Han pulled out all these Shanxi merchants.

When dozens of people with surnames entered the mountain and were pulled out, they saw the current head of the Zhang family kneeling on the ground.

Moreover, the famous third son of the Zhang family, who was said to be the only male of the Zhang family's generation, was beaten and tied up like a melon and knelt on the ground.

They knew that this was not only punishing the Zhang family, but also imposing authority.

It is estimated that more than a month ago, my family was unwilling to cooperate with the imperial court to fund the construction of a factory, so I angered the imperial court, and that is why what happened today.

But today they did not dare to resist at all.

His Royal Highness King Jin and King Gu had invited them over politely and made it very clear that after signing the agreement, everyone would work hard.

But are they convinced in their hearts? Not convinced at all.

They even secretly joined together to prepare for non-cooperation.

So it's very simple for the Duke of Guo to come today. Since you don't cooperate, let me let you see what the consequences will be if you don't cooperate - the Zhang family will suffer the consequences.

Chen Han pointed at the Zhang family and said, "I don't care how good you Shanxi merchants are here, and I don't care how much property your family has.

I will tell you only one thing. There is no benefit in confronting the imperial court.

You have inherited it for hundreds of years, and some families have it for thousands of years.

Do you think there are other dynasties like the Ming Dynasty that have iron-clad camps and flowing soldiers?

But now my father-in-law wants to tell you that if my ship, the Ming Dynasty, sinks, I will uproot you before it sinks.

If you are not willing to be tied to the Ming Dynasty's ship, then I will tie stones to you and sink you into the water. "

The Shanxi merchants were shaking like chaff one by one.

I thought that when the court asked me to do things, I had to have a good attitude.

But King Jin and the others had previously forced him to sign an agreement.

Chen Han came from behind and grabbed them directly, telling them that if they didn't cooperate, they would die.

Everyone in the Zhang family was so frightened that their faces turned pale.

Chen Han pointed to Zhang Yi who was kneeling on the ground and said to all the traders, "I know that all of you are rich, but you actually want to use money to buy your life, but today I will let you know that you can buy other people's lives. I can kill you too.

Come on, first cut off the head of this arrogant and domineering playboy who has killed countless people and give them a look. "

Chen Hanshu's words were very gentle, but after everyone heard it, they knew that these were the cruelest words.

The soldiers stepped forward and pulled Zhang Yi over.

That Zhang Yi was scared to death.

Never in his wildest dreams did he think that Chen Han was serious and wanted to set himself up as a role model.

He was so frightened that he screamed and writhed on the ground.

He exerted the greatest strength in his life, but he couldn't break away from the two soldiers. Zhang Yi shouted loudly: "Father, mother, uncle, brother-in-law, save me! I don't want to die, I was wrong, I was wrong, I know it was wrong now, I will give you all the money in my family, spare my life." !”

he shouted.

When the old woman from the Zhang family saw this scene, she was so anxious that she burst into tears.

This is the only grandson in her family. If he disappears, the Zhang family will be wiped out.

As a result, the old woman burst into life as no one expected.

She rushed up with her crutches in hand.

He hit the soldiers who were pulling Zhang Yi with his cane.

"How dare you touch my grandson? Whoever dares to touch him will be killed by me.

My Zhang family has a lot of money. If you touch him, I will pay to murder your whole family!

If you have the ability, kill me first! "

As he spoke, he picked up the crutch and started beating him.

When Zhang Jinzhong saw his old mother like this, he yelled, "Mom, come back quickly!" Come back! "

The old man of the Zhang family was even more angry and didn't know what to say.

Isn't this causing trouble?

Isn't it because the Zhang family has come so far because of a dandy boy and an unreasonable old woman?

He was so angry that he jumped to his feet and yelled: "Damn old woman, what are you doing?

You want to kill all our Zhang family, kill them all! ! "

More than a hundred members of the Zhang family were all watching.

The old woman went crazy, biting and beating the soldiers.

Shouting: "Unless you step on my body, otherwise, I will never let you touch my grandson.

Come on, kill me if you can! "

As he said that, he leaned hard on Zhang Yi and said, "Don't worry, dear grandson, grandma will protect you. Grandma will definitely protect you."

Zhang Yi seemed to have met a savior.

In normal times, it was indeed his grandma who always protected him.

His father would beat him when he got into trouble.

But only grandma would stand up and protect him.

She also warned her father many times that if anything happened to him, she would also go with him.

Therefore, Zhang Yi can feel more secure by the old woman's side.

When Chen Han saw this scene, he understood that it was because of the existence of this old woman that Zhang Yi could become so arrogant and domineering.

So Chen Han smiled and said, "My Lord has never heard of such a request. Since the old lady has made it, we have to satisfy her and send her on her way first."

The two soldiers who were beaten were dissatisfied for a long time. With such an order, they took out the sword from their waists and struck them without thinking.

The old woman never dreamed that Chen Han would give such an order.

Looking at the gleaming knife, he shouted: "How dare you, you! I am, I am the elder of the Zhang family...ah!!!"

He stood in front of Zhang Yi and was split in half with a knife.

Cruel?

Of course it looks cruel on the surface.

But think about how many people this Zhang Yi has harmed.

Think about why Zhang Yi is so cruel, arrogant, domineering, and stubborn.

It's not these irresponsible elders who are pampering them.

If you dig deeper, this old woman deserves to die in the same way.

For example, more than two months ago, this Zhang Yi passed by a tofu grinder in Taiyuan Prefecture.

Seeing that the little daughter of the owner of a tofu shop was beautiful, he took the little girl back to his house and humiliated her to death without saying a word.

The owner and his wife of the tofu shop came to the door crying.

In order to protect the reputation of her grandson, the old woman ordered the dogs to kill the family and then buried them on the spot.

Of course, there are too many such things. In her eyes, other people's lives are not lives. Only the life of her grandson is the most valuable. Such people deserve to die.

After killing the old woman with one knife, the old woman still fell down with her eyes open.

His Highness King Jin clapped his hands when he saw this scene: "Okay, okay, okay, okay! This kind of person deserves to die. He should be killed if he raises such a grandson!"

More than a hundred people in the Zhang family just watched the old woman die on the spot, and no one dared to speak.

Then Chen Han said: "Continue!!"

After the two soldiers killed the old woman, they dragged Zhang Yi to the middle of the square.

What they didn't know was that none of the neighbors in this area were sleeping.

Although the curfew was already in effect, everyone was secretly watching from the walls of their homes and from the second-floor windows of their homes.

Many torches were set up on the square, and the lights were bright, and the people could see clearly.

Seeing the old woman of the Zhang family being killed, countless people secretly clapped their hands and applauded.

This old woman has had a very bad reputation in the surrounding area over the years. She allowed Zhang Yi to harm the people, and now she finally got her comeuppance.

That young man seems to be the Duke of the country, so courageous.

I won't think that you are an old guy, you are a lot older, and I will have a bad reputation by killing you, but I will act decisively.

If you want to die if you ask for it, you will be able to do it right away. This is a really good person who will never go against the old man's will.

Zhang Yi was pulled to the middle of the square, and hundreds of pairs of eyes of the people were staring at him.

There were many people lying on the wall watching.

Zhang Yi was tied up and kneeling on the ground. The soldiers who were holding him carefully tore off his messy clothes, exposing the back of his neck.

The soldier who carried out the execution had just returned from the border deployment, and his hands were stained with the blood of the enemy, so he did not hesitate at all.

When the neck was exposed, he was still very disdainful in his heart: I kill those rough-skinned and thick-fleshed Beiyuan Tartars with one knife. You, a thin-skinned one with tender flesh, are not enough for me to cut.

After that, without any hesitation at all, he raised his knife and started to chop, even more like an executioner than an executioner.

Chi! !

With a powerful and heavy blow, Zhang Yi's head was cut off directly.

Gulu gulu...

Heads rolled on the ground.

What Chen Han and the others didn't expect was that the people lying on the walls of nearby houses suddenly shouted.

"Good! Good kill! Good kill!"

"They should be killed!"

"Happy! Good kill!"

Chen Han and the others were stunned.

Looking back, I saw bursts of cheers coming from the surrounding houses.

There were also some cries, cries of joy...
