People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 382: When a fellow countryman meets a fellow countryman, shoot him in the back! There will be a lot of this kind of thing in the Ming Dynasty!

After the brother and sister explained everything they knew, Xia Yuanji and the others were still very emotional.

In particular, Xia Yuanji never expected the reforms of himself, Chen Han, and Shen Liqian.

It was just to make Ming Dynasty more prosperous and powerful, there was no other idea.

However, it was actually missed by so many people.

There are not only smugglers on the southeast coast here.

There are even officials from the capital and some pirates from far away in the Southeast Asia who are thinking about it.

It's just like what Chen Han said.

How dangerous are the things that I and others are doing now.

Sometimes we don’t even know where these dangers come from.

At first, they always felt that the assassinations their people encountered were nothing more than the people whose interests were being destroyed in front of them.

Even the big boss at that time gave them money to do business, and they almost monopolized the entire fishing ground in Sanviqi.

And what we need to be wary of is not only domestic ones, but also people coming from Nanyang and all over the world.

Looking at so much gold, silver and jewels at that time, they really had their own thoughts. Not only did they use a large amount of it for their own use, but they also thought that one day, if other small countries in Southeast Asia unite to destroy Chen Zuyi, this gold will belong to their family. .

Xia Yuanji looked at the brother and sister and asked, "Is it really only 20,000 kilograms of gold? Nothing else?"

After listening to that person's words, Xia Yuanji thought about it and felt that there was something to be done here.

In fact, even if the Fifth Master hadn't poisoned your family, the big boss would definitely have taken action against you.

There are no more than five people in the entire family who know about this.

But what I didn't expect was.

But you guys were outside at the time, so I don’t know what happened to your family at that time. Let me tell you.

The faces of the brother and sister immediately changed.

Our master has accumulated more than tens of millions of treasures after traveling across the South Seas for more than ten years?
Although they were scattered and buried, their family was still the most trusted by the head of the family at that time.

The boss had no choice but to let your family take kickbacks from it.

Just from this, they have earned more than tens of millions in the past ten years?

So their level of confidentiality is quite high.

You yourself are not good birds. One of the reasons why you have taken refuge with us is that the boss is really powerful and forces you to become our spy on land.

The two people who were caught laughed loudly: "My lord, let me tell you the truth, those gold and silver jewelry are not just as simple as 20,000 kilograms of gold.

After the brothers finished speaking, the two big men kneeling on the ground were very unconvinced.

Chen Han also shared one thing with him before, that is, there are many Japanese slaves who also know that to capture the thief first, capture the king.

The other leader of your clan is not a good person either. He actually offended the King of Srivijaya and was wanted by the King of Srivijaya.

If it hadn't been for the mediation by the head of the family, he would have been killed by the king long ago.

“We should have killed you all in the first place, so as not to leave any further trouble.

The gold, silver and jewelry that their family had buried were by no means only 20,000 kilograms of gold.

For example, His Highness King Yan has encountered such danger.

The brother's eyes were splitting after hearing what this guy said, but he couldn't say anything to refute.

This thing is actually so big.

Especially the leader shouted,

He knew these things because he was the clan leader's son.

What Chen Han and the others didn't expect was that these guys were actually colluding with outside forces.

They mixed with the captive team, then followed them back to the Ming Dynasty, and began to assassinate important members of the Ming Dynasty.

But this incident also taught Chen Han and the others a big lesson.

The gold and silver stolen by pirates from overseas were hidden by their families.

And now Xia Yuanji also knew from the brother and sister that the man named Fifth Master could actually control such an assassination operation in far away Nanyang.

He was also involved in these things when he was in the family.

Because your faces are really abominable and greedy. "

Even when I looked at this brother again, I felt that this person was definitely not simple.

This made Xia Yuanji feel that what he and others were doing now was really dangerous.

Sir, we seriously suspect that they used the Ming Dynasty court to destroy us, and then they could enjoy the gains and give away 20,000 kilograms of gold, but the other hidden treasures were taken out and kept for themselves.

It was us who saved him, and this old guy also had conditions for helping the boss hide gold, that is, for every one or two gold hidden, they would get 10% of it.

The reason why his brother-in-law knew about this was because he told it himself.

Fortunately, King Yan himself was a fighting general, so he was more cautious and did not encounter any real crisis.

Sir, they just want to use you to destroy us. You must not be fooled by them.

This brother and sister are famous poisonous snakes in Southeast Asia.

The two brothers and sisters trapped no less than a thousand people from the Ming Dynasty in Nanyang.

Although we were robbing homes on the sea, everyone was coming and going, and we also suffered many casualties.

But on the surface, this family helps the Han people who come to Sanviqi to do business, but in fact, they kill people and swindle goods behind the scenes. "

Xia Yuanji looked at the brother and sister. Their expressions immediately changed, and then they shouted, "You fart, we are just doing legitimate business. Our fish and steak business didn't even think about dominating the whole world." Sanfoqi,
It was Chen Zuyi who secretly planned to destroy other families in order to make us their puppets, so that most of the military officers and rich and powerful people in Sanviqi were bribed by him.

We are just pawns for him to send money to bribe officials.

What you said, we hid other gold and silver, is really bullshit.
What you may not know is that the spy your boss placed in our family was also poisoned by your own people. He could have testified.

Do you think that Chen Zuyi is just that simple, handing over the money to us without knowing what he has in mind?
You people are stupid too, but he is not.

When he distributed the money to you, he took part of it first, and this part was used by him to bribe officials.

His family already held important positions in Sanviqifu.

You don’t know yet, but his brother-in-law is General Sanviqi, and his sister is the female staff officer beside the eldest princess.

High-ranking officials have to do it, and they have long thought about washing their hands in the golden basin and entering the officialdom of Sanviqi.

Only you simple-minded people who only know how to rob homes and homes would think that you can live happily on the sea for the rest of your life. "

Xia Yuanji finally got some clues from their dog-eat-dog conversation.

No wonder this family dares to say that they control some secrets of Sanvijaya and can overthrow the entire Sanvijaya.

The woman blurted out that Chen Zuyi, his sister and brother-in-law had already been hiding in the upper echelons of Sambuqi. If you master these two people, you might be able to overthrow all the senior officials of Sanviqi with one shot.

It seems that there is really a lot to do here.

The two people who were tied up looked even more ugly after hearing this.

"Okay, it turns out that the boss betrayed us from the beginning. It's in vain that we are still fighting for him now and want to avenge him."

The leader of the big man sighed when his companion said this, "Don't listen to his nonsense. The boss is definitely a loyal person. Isn't the share given to us every year still small?"
He was just excusing themselves.

They killed so many Han people, and now they want to use the Ming Dynasty to deal with us.

Now it’s time to clear yourself up.

But you are just wishful thinking. We already have control over your family’s accounts of how they harmed the Han people.

It is clearly recorded on it, how many Han people you killed and how much goods, gold and silver you looted.

Those are your own family's internal account books. It's clear. Even the two places where you are hiding now, aren't they the homes of people who once went to Nanyang to do business?
You killed people, and now you occupy the magpie's nest, which has become your destination for escape. "

Xia Yuanji's face darkened and he looked at the brother and sister. Seeing their uncertain eyes, he knew there must be something else going on.

It's just that it is absolutely impossible for these brothers and sisters to tell everything now.

Even like the two people who were tied up said.

If this family really attacks the Han people, even if they get secrets from them, this family will never be able to keep them.

Xia Yuanji didn't say anything more and took the five people back to the Chief Secretary's Yamen of Guangzhou Prefecture.

There was no further interrogation, but he asked them to write a letter in person, and he wanted to send this letter to the capital.

At the same time, Xia Yuanji himself wrote a letter to Chen Han.

The letter told Chen Han that during the interrogation, he heard that this family had persecuted Han people who went to Nanyang to do business.

Chen Hancheng also needs to consider this himself.

After all, this involves revenge for Shen Liqian, and it also involves how to take down the Sanfuqi.

When both letters arrived in Chen Han's hands, Chen Han took the letters and went directly to the person named Wang Asan.

After Wang Asan received the letter from his wife, his face was full of surprise.

He shed tears just looking at him.

He probably thought that his wife had also traveled across the ocean and fled to Daming with him.

And if Xia Yuanji and the others hadn't been clever, they might have been captured.

The fate of being caught back can be imagined, and it will definitely not be a good death.

After receiving the letter, Wang Asan knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chen Han, "Thank you, sir! Thank you for your help!"

Chen Han waved his hands, his expression very gloomy.

Especially when I saw that what Xia Yuanji said about this family was not a good thing at all, but was doing the same things as pirates behind the scenes, and even worse.

It is estimated that those Ming Dynasty traders went to Nanyang at that time, got to know this family, and felt that they could trust people who also had the blood of the Central Plains Dynasty.

But I didn't expect that he would be killed and cheated.

Just like when many modern people travel overseas, the people who are often tricked the most are those who believe in these so-called compatriots.

After all, there is a saying circulating outside that when a fellow countryman sees a fellow countryman, shoot him in the back.

Seeing that Chen Han's expression was not good, Wang Asan was also a little embarrassed at this time.

His wife's letter also said something about what those people told her family had done.

So when he saw Chen Han's face turning ugly, he didn't hide it.

"Sir, to be honest, our family has indeed taken advantage of smugglers and killed many smugglers.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty had not yet opened the sea, and these smugglers were indeed a piece of fat in the eyes of many people for running so boldly to Southeast Asia.

Not only our family, but even other Han families will not sympathize with them as long as they know that these are smugglers.

Our family did do these things, but those people were originally evil people who oppressed the people on land. What we did was regarded as punishing evil with evil. "

Chen Han listened to his words and felt a little agreement in his heart.

It's just that these guys can actually do things like killing people and selling goods, so even if the sea is opened now, even if they go to Nanyang as serious businessmen, there are probably many people who will do the same thing.

This made Chen Han start to think about how to ensure the safety of the Central Plains Dynasty's business in overseas countries.

In particular, the problem of these families who have been out of the local area and start to attack their compatriots after becoming local gangsters must be solved.

Chen Han stared at him and began to ask, "Now your family has been protected, and Mr. Xia from Guangdong even saved your family's lives.

You should tell everything you know.

If you hide anything, if I send you a letter, your wife, son, uncle, and brother will all die. "

Wang Asan nodded: "Sir, when I crossed the ocean from Nanyang to Daming, I never thought of hiding anything from you.

If our family can really atone for their sins by giving you the news, I think their death is worth it. "

Chen Han said: "Don't talk nonsense. How can we kill Sanfuqi and that person named Shi Wuye?"

Wang Asan really told the truth, "Actually, our family only hid Chen Zuyi's 20,000 kilograms of gold, which is not much. No matter where you talk nonsense to others, I have to tell you that you can completely believe us.

I will point out the hiding place later.

Because in addition to giving us this gold, Chen Zuyi also had rare treasures.

We sold these into Sanviqi coins, and then bribed the officials, so that Chen Zuyi and his fleet could stay at Sanviqi, and they had a place to replenish food.

If our family hadn't purchased food on the shore for them, they would never have had the capital to sweep across Southeast Asia.

And our family did earn a lot from it, but it was definitely not what they rumored.

As for those secrets, we have the list of a large number of officials placed by Chen Zuyi in Srivijaya.

As long as the list of these officials is sent up, a civil war will inevitably break out in Srivijaya.

Because many officials within Sanviqi made their fortunes and promotions through Chen Zuyi.

Especially the generals who control the army are Chen Zuyi's lackeys.

Although Chen Zuyi is dead now, the things they did will never be suppressed so easily.

Once these things were reported to the king of Srivijaya, the king would inevitably initiate a purge.

And those people will never sit still and wait to be killed, so as to provoke a civil war between them. "
