Jinghong Tower

Chapter 335 Copied
Shuiwazi and her son were like this, and the other family was almost in the same situation.

Three months ago, it was when they received the mission to attack Lao Fengyun.

It turned out that at that time, the Qian brothers had not only decided to let them die, but also made up their minds to eradicate the roots.

The two of them gnashed their teeth and wished they could cut Qian's body into pieces right away.

But they did not take action immediately. The two learned from their failure in the capital, and after careful planning, they finally took action three days later.

Qian Ruolin's biggest hobby is listening to opera.

When he was in the capital, he wanted to raise a theater troupe in the mansion, but at that time they had to follow King Qi and act in a low-key manner. Raising a theater troupe was too high-profile, so he never implemented it.

Now my nephew has become the emperor, and the throne is becoming more and more stable, and even the Qian family has come from behind the scenes to the public.

Now everyone knows that he is the emperor's uncle, and he can't keep a low profile even if he wants to.

So Qian Ruolin finally made up his mind to raise a theater troupe in the mansion, and it was a Quan Kun troupe.

In the past few years, the world has not been peaceful, and life has not been easy even for theater troupes. Many theater troupes have changed their careers, and some have even started a flesh-and-blood business.

There were originally few Kun classes, but now I can’t even find them.

Qian Ruolin was just feeling regretful when good news suddenly came.

There were two male actors, one a niche actor and the other a female actor. After the troupe was disbanded, the two opened a bookstore in Jinling City, took in several young apprentices, and became stewards.

Pai said that these young apprentices were all in good order and had good voices.

Qian Ruolin was overjoyed when he heard this. He went to court in the morning and went straight to the bookstore without even returning home.

The so-called bookstore is actually a kind of sensual place. There are many romantic talents in Jiangnan. The red sleeves in the bookstore add fragrance, and there is a special gentleness.

Qian Ruolin was assassinated in this bookshop. At that time, he was bobbing his head and listening to Xiaodan singing on the stage, when a knife came from behind and wiped his neck.

He had raised the killer since he was a child and carefully trained him. He knew his preferences and his style of acting, and knew that when he was listening to a play, he was most annoyed by being disturbed.

In the past, when he went to the theater to listen to plays, he never let his entourage follow him in.

When he came to the bookstore, such an elegant and quiet place, he was not allowed to disturb his good mood.

Therefore, the killer kills with one blow.

Qian Ruolin didn't know who killed him until his death.

News of Qian Ruolin's death has not yet reached the Qian family, and something happened to Qian Ruowang.

Qian Ruowang was naughty when he was young. He went horseback riding without telling his family. He was thrown off the horse and his feet were caught in the pedals. He was seriously injured. Although he was treated in time, Qian Ruowang's legs were one long and one short. Fortunately, They are almost the same, and they usually wear special shoes. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell that Qian Ruowang is lame.

Although many years had passed, this incident still cast a shadow on Qian Ruowang.

Qian Ruowang neither rides a horse nor rides in a carriage.

Qian Ruowang always travels in a sedan chair.

Qian Ruowang is the Marquis of Chengen. As soon as he hears the name, he knows that this is a Marquis who is just waiting to die.

Therefore, Qian Ruowang rarely went to court.

But not going to court does not mean that Qian Ruowang will stay away from the court. He is the emperor's uncle, and there are countless people who want to curry favor with him.

Two days ago, Qian Ruowang received an invitation to open the largest antiques and treasures museum in Jinling City. Marquis Chengen was invited to support it.

After Qian Ruowang came to Jinling, he searched for antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Moreover, whenever a new store like this opens, the store will prepare a valuable gift for guests of his status.

Therefore, after receiving this request, Qian Ruowang decided to go and have a look.

Today, Qian Ruowang left half an hour earlier than the auspicious time. The sedan he was sitting in was large and comfortable, with a small table inside and fruit snacks placed inside.

When you get up, you only need to push the small table to one side, so that it will not interfere with getting on and off the sedan.

Although it is not as spacious as a carriage, it is still much more comfortable than most people's sedans.

Qian Ruowang sat in the sedan chair, picked up a book that he had not finished reading last time, and read it with gusto.

Suddenly, the sedan stopped. Qian Ruowang thought he had arrived, straightened his clothes, pushed aside the small table, and prepared to get off the sedan.

At this moment, the sedan curtain was lifted from the outside. Qian Ruowang wanted to scold his entourage. Why did he just lift the sedan curtain without even saying hello?
Shouldn't we say: Second Master, we've arrived at the Treasure House.

Then get his permission to open the sedan curtain again?
However, these thoughts only flashed through Qian Ruowang's mind. Before he could open his mouth to rebuke, he saw a cold light flash before his eyes, and a long sword stabbed him in the chest.

Qian Ruowang was pierced by a sword before he could even see the man's appearance.

His eyes widened in disbelief, and he slowly fell down.

The assassin, after confirming that Qian Ruowang had no hope of survival, also fell down, and his body was also pierced by the sword.

Qian Ruowang brought his guards with him, but unfortunately when the guards noticed something was wrong, it was too late and the assassin had already succeeded.

Within one day, all the Qian brothers were assassinated. The news spread quickly throughout Jinling City, and then flew out from Jinling City, spreading throughout Jiangnan Road, as if it had wings.

He Ran and Zhong Yi had been paying close attention to the news in Jinling, and He Hua sent the news out as soon as possible.

The Qian brothers were dead, and the assassin escaped.

He Ran smiled and said to Zhong Yi: "Two of the new emperor's uncles died in one day. We should also carry out funeral ceremonies. You can arrange it."

Unfortunately, He Ran was too far away to see the new emperor furious, which made He Ran feel a little regretful.

The new emperor was indeed furious. When the news of the Qian brothers' deaths came, he guessed that there must be something wrong in the capital.

Just two days ago, the Qian brothers told him proudly that Lao Guanghuai's grandson was dead, and Lao Guanghuai had to stop all actions, while those they left in the north had begun to contact powerful merchants. Take over their business.

But within two days, the Qian brothers turned into two corpses. It was really ironic.

Two of the pillars of the Qian family suddenly died, which meant that the Qian family, which had been unstoppable for the past two years, had begun to decline.

But the necessary face must be given.

The funeral of the Qian family was very lively, and all the officials in Jinling gave silk gifts. Even the officials who were dispatched after receiving the news sent their personal followers to Jinling to join the family.

The new emperor took the queen and the fourth concubine to the Qian Mansion in person to offer incense to his two uncles.

Everyone knew that the new emperor would personally send his two uncles off. After all, as we all know, the new emperor was kind and filial and a true gentleman.

The new emperor got off the dragon chariot in front of the Qian Mansion. At this moment, Yan Mi, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, came in a hurry and hesitated before stepping forward.

Eunuch Xia observed the situation, leaned into the new emperor's ear, and lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, Commander Yan seems to have something to say."

The new emperor's eyes flashed, and he followed closely here. There must be something important.

"Xuan him come forward." The new emperor said. Yan Mi quickly came over and said in a voice that only he and the new emperor could hear: "The official found out that the assassins who assassinated the two Masters Qian were people sent by the Qian family to the capital, and the capital."

The new emperor was stunned and had an ominous feeling in his heart: "Has there been a change in the capital?"

"Yes, Lao Fengyun has recovered from his injury long ago. Lao Guanghuai has been in charge of the affairs of the Household Department. He has signed all the documents of the Household Department in the past three months, and"

Yan Yan carefully looked at the burning anger in the eyes of the new emperor, and said bravely: "And He Ran has recently sold sixty-five shops, five large restaurants, eight brothels, six rice shops, six pawn shops, and four A gambling house, three mines, and Chengyuan Company.”

As soon as Yan Mi finished speaking, the white jade pendant hanging from the new emperor's waist was torn off by him.

"Who can take over such a big deal?"

The Qian brothers said during their lifetime that it is not easy to sell off all those properties now. Firstly, it attracts too much attention, and secondly, because there are not many, or even none, people who can acquire so many properties at once.

Yan Mi boldly said: "It is said that seven businessmen from Jin region jointly bought it. They sold it for a total of 2.55 million taels, all in cash. The silver was divided into five batches and has all been sent to the capital."

The new emperor felt a surge of heat rushing to the top of his head. His body swayed, and Eunuch Xia quickly supported him.

Two and a half million taels, plus my properties in Qingzhou and Jinan Prefecture, is enough to build two or three more armies.

The new emperor's chest felt hot and painful, and he glared fiercely at the white lantern hanging high in front of the door of Qian's Mansion.

What did these two idiots tell me?

They said that they paid a high price to find a strange poison from the Miao border, which could make people die extremely violently. They said that the people sent to do the work were all brave and resourceful masters. They also said that Mr. Lao would be worse off than dead. Not only Lao Guang Huai, even Jin Yiwei's Zhong Yi doesn't want to get involved in this matter anymore.

The new emperor sneered from deep in his throat, his smile was hard and hoarse, and extremely unpleasant to hear.

Eunuch Xia was startled. This was the first time he heard such laughter after serving the new emperor for so long.

Yan Mi is very familiar with it. As someone who specializes in doing dirty things for the new emperor, Yan Mi knows what this laughter means.

Many people are going to die, including the Qian family.

After all, the Qian family has enriched themselves from the emperor's business over the years.

Now they are deceiving the emperor. You must know that these industries are not in the open. They can hide them for so many years after moving the capital, which shows the complexity of this.

But He Ran's people still found out these industries easily. Could it be that they were the ones who found out the details?
What a joke!
There is a mole in this, and this mole might be the Qian family!

It's a pity that the Qian brothers got out of their way, suffered backlash, and were bitten to death by the dogs they raised by themselves.

Who knows if it was a vendetta caused by unfair distribution of spoils.

Yan Mi is indeed a good knife in the hands of the new emperor.

His thoughts were similar to those of the New Emperor, who was just more logical, organized, and in-depth than him.

The new emperor said in a deep voice: "Go back to the palace!"

At this time, the Qian family were all kneeling inside the gate, waiting to be picked up. Unexpectedly, the emperor arrived at the door and went back to the palace.

When the emperor returned to the palace, of course the queen and the fourth concubine also went back with him.

The empress and the fourth concubine's ceremonial guard included hundreds of people, who came and left with a cheer.

Seeing that the emperor left without entering, the officials who were waiting at Qian's house to show their presence in front of the emperor looked at each other.

What happened?
do not know.

But the Qian family must have fallen out of favor.

The emperor is a humble gentleman, let alone his uncle, he is an ordinary minister. The emperor treats him with kindness and will never do such a slap in the face.

Some officials said there was something going on at home, some said there was something going on in the yamen, and most of them didn't even have a reason. No matter how solemn they came, they left as ruthlessly as they came.

The emperor's slap was so loud and fast that all the Qian family were stunned.

By the time the Qian family came to their senses, the officials had almost left, and some even shamelessly ran to the concierge to get back the money they had given out, without fear of bad luck.

Unfortunately, the Qian family still thinks too simply, and this is just the beginning.

Not long after, the young masters and sons-in-law of the Qian family who were working in the yamen all committed some crime or not, and were kicked out of the house or thrown into prison. The Qian family had to spend money to release them. come out.

At this time, what the Qian family still doesn't understand is that the emperor is disgusted with the Qian family. This is just a warning. If they are sensible, they will go far away and never appear in front of the emperor.

But the Qian family was so ignorant that several female family members went into the palace and cried to the queen. After the emperor heard about it, he found an excuse and asked the Jin Yiwei to confiscate the Qian family.

The Qian family had been involved in the officialdom for so many years. If the emperor wanted to mess with them, he could easily find several serious crimes.

Before Qian Ruolin and Qian Ruowang's Qiqi arrived, the Qian family was ransacked.

The Qian family made a lot of money because of the emperor over the years, but in the end the money was taken back by the emperor.

The Qian family was demoted back to their hometown, and all their property was confiscated.

The things and properties the emperor copied from the Qian family were exchanged for a total of 700,000 taels of silver.

The emperor was originally very happy, but when he thought of the 2.55 million taels taken away by He Ran, the emperor couldn't be happy anymore.

He was irritated, he wanted to get angry, he wanted to vent.

Seeing the emperor's murderous look, Eunuch Xia was also very embarrassed.

Ordinarily, at this time, the gadget should be sent over to let the emperor calm down his anger.

But since Wu San's incident, he hasn't asked anyone to collect gadgets for a long time.

In fact, he has not found anyone who can replace Wu San.

Eunuch Xia thought about the women in the harem one by one. He remembered that there was a Tang beauty who entered the palace this year. She was only thirteen years old, thin and small, and looked even younger than her actual age.

Eunuch Xia withdrew and asked Abao to call the Tang beauty over. There was no need to dress up, and it was best not to apply makeup.

A Bao was happy when he heard this. He knew where Tang Meiren lived.

Tang Meiren and Qiao Meiren live together in an extremely small courtyard.

When Beauty Qiao sees him, she will definitely give him delicious and fun things.

Unfortunately, the person the godfather is looking for is not Qiao Meiren.

Abao went to deliver the message, Tang Meiren was surprised and happy, Qiao Meiren thought she had heard wrongly.

This Tang beauty has not even had her period yet, and her evil father really has no shame for the sake of glory and wealth.

But then I thought about it, compared to Tang Meiren's father, it was half a pound to half a pound, they were both the same.
