Blood from Daming

Chapter 263 Cloth Eyes
Yan Sanniang raised a crowd to make a disturbance in Hangzhou Prefecture, and found out that the white-clothed scholar was a descendant of Emperor Jianwen. A group of officials and rich businessmen from Hangzhou City are still being imprisoned in the prison of Hangzhou Prefecture. There are quite a few accomplices who have been arrested by adults. It seems that some important people should be selected to take "Tenderness and Honey Fragrance" to find out their background. Unfortunately, I did not bring many "Tenderness and Honey Fragrance" this time. If you can save it, you have to send someone back to Xuezhuang to ask Second Uncle Xue to send more.

Now Yan Sanniang is thinking about the masked man who appeared yesterday when she was preparing to confront the white-clothed scholar in the Drunken Immortal Building. People are defending themselves, and they are also known by the white-clothed scholar, and listening to their conversation, the masked man seems to be from the same school, but they are not serving the same master now, but this masked man may also be related to Jianwen's remnants, This masked man is one of the most skilled martial artists in the Jianghu. It is not difficult to find out his identity as long as you investigate carefully.

Since this masked person may have something to do with him, strictly speaking, he has something to do with the Xue family, then the case of Jianwen remnants is very complicated, and Jianwen remnants like Mr. , it might be possible that Mr. Jiang and the masked man were together, but Yan Sanniang had a faint feeling that the Xue family might be behind this matter.

Yan Sanniang didn't plan to delve deeper into the matter of the descendants of Emperor Jianwen, so she focused on Zhejiang Chengxuan's political envoy, Secretary Zuo, and a few wealthy businessmen with important weight, but most of the confessions made by those wealthy businessmen were bribes Yan Sanniang is not concerned about officials, fighting in the mall, intrigue, conspiring to kill competitors, or incest at home.

Yan Sanniang ordered the female soldiers to send Wan Jianxin General Banner to the Hangzhou Prefecture Prison to declare Zhejiang Cheng to be the political envoy, Zuo Counselor, Mr. Cao, and Zhejiang to be punished, and the procuratorial envoy, Mr. Jiang. Inquiring about them, Yan Sanniang took advantage of Wan Jianxin's absence to continue looking at the confessions and transcripts of Chief Minister Si Zuo Counselor Cao Daren and Prosecutor Si Qian Jiang Master Jiang, hoping to find more clues.

Since Yan's mansion is very close to the Hangzhou government office, it didn't take long for Wan Jianxin General Banner to mention the chief minister Si Zuo, Mr. Cao, and the procuratorial envoy, Mr. Jiang, to Yan's mansion. Yan Sanniang first mentioned the chief minister. Si Zuo Counselor Mr. Cao invited into the inner room in the backyard. When the chief envoy Si Zuo Counselor Cao Mr. Cao entered the room, he didn't wear torture tools and showed a generous expression on his face. Yan Sanniang felt a little funny, and fell into the How many steel-framed heroes Shuntianfu has in his hands will not obediently plead guilty in the end, it depends on how long you, Mr. Cao, can last.

Yan Sanniang said politely: "Master Cao, please sit down."

Chief Minister Si Zuo Counselor Mr. Cao said proudly: "I am an important member of the imperial court. You are just a small servant of the Shuntian Mansion, and your rank is far below this official. If you detain a court official privately, this official will report to you." The imperial court sues you and Shuntian Mansion."

Yan Sanniang smiled and said: "Lord Cao is so angry, you and the rebels attacking the government office in Hangzhou is already a mob conspiracy, report to the court to watch the emperor chop off that man's head."

Mr. Cao hesitated for a moment because he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak. Yan Sanniang said, "Mr. Cao, please sit down. I want to chat with Mr. Cao to find common ground."

Master Cao finally sat down under Yan Sanniang, Yan Sanniang waved all the subordinates in the room to retreat, and then said: "Master Cao, the Zhejiang Prosecutor, Master Wu and Mr. Wen are both Jianwen Remnant, if you stay with them, you may be doomed this time."

Master Cao became angry when he heard this: "Whether other people are some remnants of Jianwen, what does it have to do with me, it may be far-fetched for Master Yan to threaten me with this."

Yan Sanniang said with a smile: "It's true, it's not just you and I. The key is whether the people in the court believe it or not. Mr. Cao has stayed in the Hangzhou government office for a long time, and I'm afraid there will be many dreams in the night."

Mr. Cao said: "What is your intention in detaining me?"

Yan Sanniang said: "I just want to tell my lord that Mr. Ling has joined the Haiyang Painting and Calligraphy Club of Mr. Wen, a descendant of Jianwen. I think Mr. Cao should understand the nature of this organization."

Mr. Cao's face twitched before he said: "The dog is just being deceived, and I hope Mr. Yan can see clearly."

Yan Sanniang paused for a while and said: "Master Cao, I see that your son is very talented, so I would like to see your son join Jinyiwei for his official duties."

Master Cao blushed when he heard Yan Sanniang's words, and said angrily: "The dog is a frail scholar, and he will not give up his fame."

Yan Sanniang said: "That's right, young people have a bright future, so I'll trouble Mrs. Cao to write a bond."

Master Cao was furious: "Monster, I will not submit to you even if I die."

Yan Sanniang said with some displeasure: "Master Cao, we are all officials of the imperial court, please don't speak harsh words, otherwise the consequences will be very serious."

Mr. Cao: "I have served the court loyally all my life, but I never thought that I would end up like this today. Heaven, why don't you open your eyes."

Yan Sanniang waited for Master Cao to howl enough before saying: "It's fine if you don't want to, someone will send Master Cao to Hangzhou Manor."

Mr. Cao glared at Yan Sanniang and said, "Unexpectedly, someone like me, Cao, would also compare Yue Wumu wrongly. There is no excuse for wanting to punish Yue Wumu."

At this time, two of Yan Sanniang's female soldiers had already entered the house to take Master Cao away, but Yan Sanniang felt disgusted after hearing Master Cao's self-promotion, and said, "I don't use the excuse of Jianwen's remnants to kill you all the time."

Master Cao was so angry that he couldn't speak, he pointed at Yan Sanniang who was trembling all over, Yan Sanniang said coldly: "Master Cao, I heard that you received tens of thousands of presents for the Spring Festival today, don't you?" Do you know if there is such a thing?"

Master Cao's face twitched and he replied: "Master Yan, you can't just listen to the wind and the rain and wrong the good people."

Yan Sanniang: "Master Cao heard that Mr. Pan, the chief envoy last year, asked you to be in charge of the flood control project in Zhejiang. You cut corners and cut corners, leaving 8 taels of special funds for flood control from the Ministry of Industry, which is less than 2 taels after you distributed it to your subordinates. Besides, you only give Mr. Pan 2 taels of silver, even if I, Shuntian Mansion, don’t bother you, if Mr. Pan finds out, I’m afraid your life will be difficult for Mr. Cao.”

After listening to Yan Sanniang's words, Master Cao suddenly became stupid. Yan Sanniang went on to say: "Master Cao participated in the smuggling of polished rice by water transport officials of the Ministry of Households last year. Except for the grain transported to the capital, the grain was not downgraded, and almost all the grain out of Zhejiang was downgraded." If it is shipped out, if it causes riots in the nine border towns of the Ming Dynasty or the Liaodong army, Master Cao will not be too exaggerated to destroy the nine clans."

Mr. Cao, who was standing indoors listening to Yan Sanniang, became more and more surprised when he heard what Yan Sanniang said, and then he almost broke his heart. , Yan Sanniang pretended not to see it, and continued to tell the examples of Mr. Cao betraying Yanyin and accepting large bribes, as if Yan Sanniang had witnessed it with her own eyes.

Mr. Cao knelt there trying to break his head, and he didn’t know how Yan Sanniang knew about these things. Squeezing himself to death was as easy as crushing an ant. Kneeling on the ground, he no longer wanted to compete with Yan Sanniang.

Listening to Yan Sanniang's continued talk, Mr. Cao felt that he was a transparent person. The Shuntian Mansion knew everything, but he didn't want to end up like this. He understood that Yan Sanniang told him that it was definitely not In order to kill himself, but have other purposes.

The more Mr. Cao listened, the more frightened he became, and then he couldn't take it anymore. Mr. Cao kowtowed like a chicken pecking at rice and said, "I beg Mr. Yan to spare my life. I will definitely follow Mr. Yan's lead in the future."

Yan Sanniang saw Master Cao's forehead began to bleed, and said: "Forget it, I am not a person who kills everything. I just hope Master Cao understands what money can be taken and what money can't be taken. Get up."

Lord Cao knelt on the ground and refused to get up, Yan Sanniang said: "Officials of the imperial court are not corrupt, even if I want to kill them, I will not be able to kill them all. Master Cao will write a guarantee letter and will not commit any crimes again."

Master Cao is still unwilling to get up and keeps saying that he is willing to work for Shuntian Mansion and Yan Sanniang. Yan Sanniang knows that Master Cao is frightened. If he does not arrange something for him, Master Cao may not be able to sleep at night when he returns home. , So he said to Mr. Cao: "In the future, if you have any important news from the Chief Secretary or the Zhejiang officialdom, please report it. The court will also reward you for your merits because of the value of your information."

Master Cao was a little confused when he heard this, but did not dare to speak. Yan Sanniang understood that Master Cao doubted the authority of the Shuntian Mansion, so she said: "Master Cao, you will be able to serve the emperor through Jinyiwei and Dongchang in the future. Congratulations."

Mr. Cao was a little confused when he heard that, when he would be connected to Jinyiwei and Dongchang, no matter what, he would not have to be ransacked and wiped out by the court as a traitor.
