Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

The golden autumn of October is the harvest season with fragrant fruits and vegetables.

Unfortunately, at this moment in Yingtian City, there was none of the harvest atmosphere of previous years.

The entire Yingtian City was filled with solemnity.

The Jinyiwei, who had been quiet for a year or two, went out in force again.

The foreign soldiers dressed in flying fish costumes were like hyenas smelling something. Once they found a target, they would rush over with bared teeth.

Conquer the family and exterminate the clan!

It seems like just four simple words, but in fact, behind them are families, clans and thousands of lives.

Many people have been unable to eat or drink recently, fearing that the Jinyiwei will break into their homes one day.

After all, it is different from the previous Li Shanchang case and the Kongyin case.

It seems that His Majesty and the Crown Prince have both given the nod to handle this case, but no one has given a definite answer as to what the case is.

To put it bluntly, apart from the Jinyiwei, other government offices have no right to intervene or interfere in this case.

In the end, they could only let the Jinyiwei run from one house to another like night owls.

There were also court officials who, either because they felt sympathy for the loss of their loved ones or because they wanted to gain a good reputation, spoke out loudly at court meetings.

But the result?

All he got was the cold words "thrown into imperial prison"!

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang seems to be even more ruthless than before!

The main idea is that whoever comes will die, and the case will be handled continuously anyway.

And slowly, after a few days, even if the Jinyiwei had not leaked the news, those who were more informed would be able to find out what had happened from the list of "victims".

After all, those maritime merchant families have always had close ties with the officialdom.

Although they seemed so low-key that Zhu Yuanzhang and others didn't even know about them, they were actually very famous among certain groups in the officialdom.

To put it bluntly, when those sea merchants are as wealthy as they are, they really can achieve the point where money can make anything possible.

The key point is that compared with salt merchants, these maritime merchant families have a longer history and know better how to keep a low profile.

So, in fact, many officials have connections with these families.

then……

You will suffer!

Zhu Yuanzhang was never an easy person to talk to.

You are just a businessman, so what does it matter even if you have produced many officials?
They actually sent our old brother, relative, and the head of the civil servants of our Ming Dynasty?

The most important thing is, do you still want to target Zhu Yuanzhang’s property?
Is this still available?

No doubt about it, kill as many as possible!
As a result, the court, which had not been quiet for long, once again ushered in a major purge.

In fact, in Jiangnan and Fujian, the commotion caused by the Jinyiwei was even bigger than that in the imperial court.

These maritime merchant families may seem unknown in Yingtian City, but in fact they are prominent families with hundreds of years of history in the local area.

They have long been deeply rooted and flourishing in the local area.

You have no idea how many people are die-hard members of their family besides those in the family tree.

Marriage, sponsorship, alliance...

It can be said that if Mao Xiang had not arranged more than 2,000 elite troops from the Beijing camp under Zhu Biao's arrangement, the task of confiscating the property would have been stuck at the very beginning.

Because when searching for property, doesn't the first step have to be to enter the "house"?

But the other side is no longer a large house with a separate courtyard, but a fortress like a fortress.

Fortunately, the Jinyiwei arrived in a hurry, and the other side was not prepared for a full-scale war at all, and could only rely on the existing servants and guards to fight back.

After all, they were not professionals, and they only had some courage. How could they possibly withstand the Ming army that specialized in fighting? At that time, the Ming army was truly first-class elite, and all of them had been baptized on the battlefield.

Faced with a group of brave servants, he rushed over like a thief.

And then, there was a bloodbath!
The chaos in the court and Jiangnan had no impact on Master Hu.

But at this moment, looking at the smiling fat man in front of him and Xiaoyue'er beside him who was constantly smiling at him in a flattering manner, he was speechless to the extreme.

"Prince, I really don't want to do this!"

"To put it bluntly, this old man is no longer fit to appear in the court."

"How did Changsun Wuji die?"

"Isn't it just that he didn't leave after becoming the emperor's uncle and prime minister? He was clearly a founding hero, but in the end he ended up being hated by the gods and ghosts and his family was destroyed?"

"I have learned from Changsun Wuji's lesson, so I must not follow his old path!"

"So, Prince, stop trying to persuade me, and just let me live a relaxed life!"

Mr. Hu's words were so sincere.

But Zhu Biao just looked at Master Hu with a smile.

The more Master Hu refused, the more he wanted to pull Master Hu away.

"Uncle, you don't know that my father has already told me!"

"Three years from now, it will be time for Father to abdicate!"

"And these three years are the time that father has reserved for the Ming Dynasty!"

"You know my father's temper. If he is not convinced, it will be fine. But now that he believes it, he will promote it without hesitation!"

"So, within these three years, Father will not only change the support plan for the royal family, but also require all gentry to pay taxes and distribute the tax according to the amount of land!"

"Then commercial taxes will also be levied!"

"Father intends to complete these tasks within three years. I can't say that all of them will be completed, but at least the framework will be set up."

"After that, it can be safely transferred to my hands!"

"My father is so kind to me, I can't just sit there and watch!"

"I know that you really have no intention of pursuing a career in politics, but can you help me, your nephew, as your uncle? That shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"I'm really worried that my father will go too far!"

"With his personality, once he starts, he will rush forward like a hurricane, unstoppable!"

Zhu Biao's words were sincere and heartfelt.

But Mr. Hu on the opposite side didn't buy it at all and even rolled his eyes.

"Prince, why are you targeting me?"

"What your majesty wants to do is indeed beneficial to the Ming Dynasty!"

"Now that it's decided, just go for it. Would I stand up and oppose it?"

"You don't want me, who has already retired, to step up and shoulder this heavy responsibility, do you?"

Mr. Hu's words were just a joke.

But who would have thought that Master Hu was surprised to see that as soon as he said this, the fat man opposite him suddenly froze in expression?
This really broke down Master Hu's defense.

I wonder if you two know that this will not only offend people but also be very difficult to do, so you plan to throw it to me?

Damn, you guys have a good idea.

But why should I work so hard to do this for you?

Do you think I'm stupid? (End of this chapter)
