The Most Powerful Man in the World

Several hundred households couldn't help feeling chills when they heard Zhao Hongze's understatement, and one of them said with a look of fear: "But... but that is a tax supervisor sent by the emperor. If we kill him, how can the emperor give up?"

A cold light flashed in Zhao Hongze's eyes, and he smiled coldly: "The Son of Heaven? He is the Son of Heaven in the Forbidden City. This is Jiangnan, not his Forbidden City. We think he is the Son of Heaven, then he is the true Son of Heaven!"

[The first one is sent, continue to code, ask for tickets and give rewards. 】

Chapter 83 Even the emperor can't save you!

The few hundred households standing below only felt a little dazed in their heads, and they couldn't believe that their own adults dared to say such outrageous words!

After a while, one of the hundred households swallowed and said, "Sir, before I came down, I heard that the governor of Dongchang started a massacre in the city. It seems that hundreds of mobs were slaughtered. Even the Hu family was raided and exterminated. This person is here. Jiangnan, if we kill those tax supervisors..."

Zhao Hongze laughed and said: "It's not that Uncle Ben looks down on this Dongchang director, and even a neutered dog in his area dares to come to the muddy waters in the south of the Yangtze River. He really thinks this is the city of Beijing, can he be allowed to do whatever he wants? ?"

Glancing at a few uneasy subordinates, Zhao Hongze knew that these subordinates were obviously suppressed by Chu Yi's fierce name, otherwise it would definitely not be the case.

He waved his hand and said, "Okay, Uncle Ben is here for everything. If there is anything, Uncle Ben will take care of him. Even if Chu Yi uses his courage, he will not dare to touch Uncle Ben!"

Several hundred households listened to Zhao Hongze's words, and their hearts were relieved a little. Their uncle was also a powerful figure in this Nanjing city. If you think about it, you can calm Chu Yi.

Looking at each other, they all bowed to Zhao Hongze and said, "Don't worry, my lord, if those tax supervisors don't know how to lift them up, I'll deal with them myself!"

Zhao Hongze said slowly: "Is this right, this is Jiangnan, we have the final say..."

While he was talking, the old butler of Wu Jingbo's mansion rushed into the hall, and then knelt on the ground with a thud and said to Zhao Hongze in mourning: "Uncle, something is bad!"

Zhao Hongze froze for a while, stared at the old butler with a frown, and said solemnly, "Steward Ming, if you don't give Benbo an explanation, you can go to sleep in the stables!"

Obviously, the old housekeeper was reckless and broke into the hall so rudely, which made him very uneasy.

The old butler said with a look of panic: "Uncle, Chu Yi...Chu Yi he..."

Zhao Hongze stiffened, took a deep breath and said, "What happened to Chu Yi? Could it be that he still dares to trouble Uncle Ben?"

Speaking of which, Zhao Hongze couldn't help but laugh.

However, before the old housekeeper could answer, he heard a bang, which was clearly a knock on the door.

The smile on Zhao Hongze's face was stagnant, and then he showed a look of anger. He slammed the table and shouted: "Geld dog, how courageous!"

While speaking, Zhao Hongze suddenly stood up and said to the several hundred officials who looked shocked: "Follow Uncle Ben to meet with this Governor Chu for a while, but I want to see that he has eaten the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard. Why, even the Marquis dares to provoke me!"

If it is said that it is in the capital, the director of the East Factory is at the door, not to mention an uncle, even if it is a prince or a grandfather, I am afraid that I will be scared to death.

However, Zhao Hongze has no fear of Chu Yi. Obviously, in his opinion, in this land south of the Yangtze River, even a dragon has to be coiled, and a tiger has to lie down.Not one or two of the imperial envoys who came to Jiangnan were killed. Zhao Hongze was really not afraid of Chu Yi.

The tall and majestic uncle's mansion covers a vast area, and it can be seen that Uncle Wu Jing is really powerful. This mansion is almost comparable to some princely mansions.

With his hands behind his back, Chu Yi watched calmly as several soldiers slammed into the incomparably thick gate. With a bang, the gate was slammed open, and several servants of Wu Jingbo's mansion were crushed under the heavy gate and howled miserably. endlessly.

At this time, Wu Jingbo Zhao Hongze came with a group of servants.

Zhao Hongze was immediately furious when he saw the collapsed door, and shouted, "Chu Yi, you dare to deceive me!"

The long street where Wu Jingbo's mansion is located is just a gathering of many honorable people. It can be said that almost [-]% of the honorable people in Nanjing City live in this block. It can be said that the houses are connected one by one. be able to surprise others.

Chu Yi and Shi Kui led a team of soldiers to appear before Wu Jingbo's mansion, and even violently stormed the gate of Wu Jingbo's mansion, which shocked many people.

Previously, Chu Yi just slaughtered the mob and targeted the tycoon Hu, but these honorable people had nothing to do with them except to marvel at Chu Yi's decisiveness and ruthlessness.

Anyway, as great honors and honors, as long as they don't make a big mistake, they will be treated with the country, and even the emperor will treat them favorably.

So, if you want to say which people in Nanjing city are the most fearless when facing Chu Yi, it is these honorable people who are famous and have no power.

When Chu Yi led his men to attack Wu Jingbo's mansion, Xungui from the surrounding family was naturally alarmed. After figuring out what was going on, some veteran Xungui sneered, and some people applauded with high fives. There are only a few newly promoted noble families.

The Ming Dynasty has been established for a hundred years, and many honors and honors have been born alone. There are the descendants of the Taizu Dynasty who are honorable and honorable, and there are also Chengzu Jing who is not honorable and honorable. The emperors of all dynasties have more or less honorable honors, so it is even the honorable group. , its interior is also not monolithic.

These nobles and honors in Nanjing City are obviously out of favor and out of favor from aristocratic and noble families. Everyone is equally happy and noble, but Wu Jingbo Zhao Hongze is in control, powerful and rich, and he acts arrogantly. Naturally, they are one. Excluded by all the veterans.

Of course, for Chu Yi, these honorable people don't have any good feelings for them, so it's none of their business to hang up high. As long as Chu Yi doesn't come to trouble them, they are happy to see Zhao Hongze unlucky.

Chu Yi slowly walked into Uncle Wu Jing's mansion, standing inside the gate, his eyes fell on Zhao Hongze, who was staring at him with an angry face.

Dozens of strong family members behind Zhao Hongze held swords one by one, and they were full of momentum.

"Uncle Wu Jing, you know the guilt!"

Chu Yi's scolding made Zhao Hongze slightly stunned. After reacting, Zhao Hongze couldn't help laughing, pointing at Chu Yi and saying, "A robber, are you trying to frame Uncle Ben? It's Daming Xungui, in terms of identity, even if you see Bengbo, you have to salute!"

It is obvious that Zhao Hongze is used to being arrogant in Nanjing City and even Jiangnan. Even if he is against Chu Yi, he is not afraid, and even uses his identity to suppress Chu Yi.

Seriously speaking, Zhao Hongze, as an uncle, has a noble status, but it is a pity that the past dynasties of the East Factory will be afraid of these honors.

Chu Yi only heard a contemptuous smile and said, "Zhao Hongze's fornication against Wang Zhu Zhixiu deliberately rebelled, and the evidence is conclusive!"

His eyes narrowed, Zhao Hongze stared at Chu Yi, he didn't expect that Chu Yi would actually dare to frame him, he gritted his teeth and said to Chu Yi, "Chu Yi, you dare to frame Benbo!"

Seeing Zhao Hongze's anxious appearance, Chu Yi threw a note from his sleeve. It was densely recorded on Zhao Hongze's more than a dozen charges of embezzling salt tax, occupying fertile land, killing Liang and taking advantage of others, each of which was extremely detailed. Zhao Hongze, who was only looking at it, was sweating coldly on his forehead.

Looking up at Chu Yi with difficulty, Zhao Hongze only saw Chu Yi's eyes looking at the dead, and he couldn't help but feel terrified. Chu Yi fell to the ground and sneered: "Benbo beheaded you today, I want to see who dares to punish me!"

As Zhao Hongze swung his sword towards Chu Yi, dozens of his subordinates, Ding Qi, rushed towards Chu Yi and others.

Chu Yi's expression remained unchanged, while Shi Kui, who was standing beside him, shouted: "Archer, shoot!"

In an instant, dozens of arrows shot at them, and there was a sudden scream.

Zhao Hongze chopped off a few arrows that were shot at him, killed Chu Yi, and said with a grin: "The thief, believe it or not, today Uncle Ben cut you, and in a few days, the emperor will receive you as a strongman in the arena. The news of the assassination!"

Chu Yi shook his head slightly and said, "I don't believe this governor!"

Zhao Hongze slashed at Chu Yi with a knife, and said arrogantly: "God, go to hell, remember that this is Jiangnan, the emperor can't save you!"

[Well, the second one is sent, asking for tickets and rewards to make the data look better. 】

Chapter 84 Zhulin Publishing House

Chu Yi glanced at Zhao Hongze, slightly avoided Zhao Hongze's knife on one side, and patted Zhao Hongze on the shoulder. Immediately, he saw Zhao Hongze slapped to the ground, and several soldiers immediately stepped forward and tied him with five flowers. up.

Looking at Zhao Hongze, who was spitting out blood and struggling with dissatisfaction, Chu Yi sighed: "Yes, this is Jiangnan, but this world is still the world of Ming Dynasty!"

Zhao Hongze's hair was disheveled and he laughed: "Chu Yi, you broke the rules of Jiangnan, you just wait to die without a burial place!"

Shi Kui stepped forward and punched Zhao Hongze's mouth. Immediately, blood flowed from Zhao Hongze's mouth, and his mouth was blocked, and he finally settled down.

Chu Yi waved his hand to press Zhao Hongze down, and his eyes fell on those servants who were stubbornly resisting. These servants obviously belonged to the elites carefully selected from the guards. Although there were only dozens of them, they were caused by Shi Kui's soldiers. However, the damage far exceeded those of the dead soldiers raised by the Hu clan.

But soon, dozens of family members, including the few Zhao Hongze's henchmen, were all beheaded on the spot, and the huge uncle's mansion was full of blood.

Glancing at the splendid Earl's Mansion, Chu Yi turned and left, leaving Chu Fang in charge of confiscating the property of Uncle Wu Jing's mansion.

When Zhao Hongze, who was very embarrassed, was taken to the prison car, he didn't know how many eyes fell on Zhao Hongze. When they saw Chu Yi, who followed closely, many people couldn't help but shrink their eyes.

Previously, Chu Yi slaughtered the mob and wiped out the Hu clan, and now even the dignified Uncle Daming was easily taken down by him. For a while, many people felt uneasy in their hearts, and they truly felt the horror of Dongchang.

Although the name of Dongchang has spread all over the world, Dongchang is rarely out of Gyeonggi, let alone in the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, these dignitaries and gentry in Nanjing City have never personally experienced the dignitaries of the capital facing Dongchang. The kind of fear that came from the bottom of my heart.

Today, Chu Yi's unscrupulous and unrestricted behavior made them feel the horror of Dongchang all of a sudden.

Shi Kui who was covered in blood slammed down in front of Chu Yi and said solemnly: "Report to the governor, there are a total of [-] family members in Wu Jingbo's house who resisted with arms, all of them have been killed, and [-] family members of the house have been brought to justice! "

Immediately afterwards, everyone only saw that dozens of people from Wu Jingbo's house were escorted out one by one.

Seeing this scene, many people couldn't help but feel cold, and when they looked at Chu Yi again, their eyes were already full of fear and fear.

Seeing that Chu Yi glanced around calmly, one turned on his horse, and a group of soldiers followed Chu Yi.

Seeing that Chu Yi had left this block, some people who were originally worried suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Bamboo Forest Book Club

Jiangnan Land is the most famous place among literati. Since decades ago, Jiangnan literati spontaneously organized such a book club. After decades of development, Bamboo Forest Book Club has become the Land of Jiangnan Yuwen. One of the most influential loose book clubs among the people.

From the elders of the Zhishi Pavilion to the court officials, from the folk literati to the imperial scholars, anyone who can pass the approval of this book club can almost become a famous person in the south of the Yangtze River.

On this day, dozens of literati and even celebrities gathered in the elegant and chic Bamboo Forest Book Club.

One of the most conspicuous figures was the famous Mr. Zheng, who had been in contact with Hu Ding, the head of the Hu family.

Mr. Zheng was dressed in a plain robe, sitting cross-legged, elegant and romantic, and was looking at the literati around him with his beard straight.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on him, only to hear Mr. Zheng's solemn voice: "Everyone, just now, the eunuch Chu Yi led the army to break through Wu Jingbo's mansion, killing dozens of servants, and Wu Jingbo's mansion was dozens of people up and down. The mouth was taken away by him..."

"what……"

"Oh my god, that's Uncle Wu, how dare Chu Yi..."

With a bang, I saw a young scholar slammed on the coffee table and said, "Is there any Wang Fa, that is the dignified uncle, who was taken down by a eunuch who said he would take it down, the emperor actually fainted so far... …”

"Yes, if the Son of Heaven continues to favor Chu Yi, Liu Jin and the like, I, Daming, will fall into a place of doom..."

Immediately, dozens of literati in the book club were filled with righteous indignation, telling the emperor that the emperor had no way, and cursing Chu Yi and Liu Jin as eunuchs.

These literati who were present could say that there were very few people from poor families. Almost [-]% of them were rich businessmen and wealthy families from the south of the Yangtze River. Although there were literati among the poor families, it was a pity that very few people could enter their circle.

You don't need to look at it, but anyone who scolds Chu Yi and Liu Jin is almost the one who suffers from the loss of Liu Jin's administration of Jiangnan.

Liu Jin sent his servants to collect mining tax and business tax. Isn't this cutting flesh and blood on them?

A scholar dressed in fancy clothes gritted his teeth and said, "In this month, nearly a hundred taels of tax have been collected from dozens of shops in our family. You must know that my father only paid 500 copper coins per month in the past!"

"Our family has suffered even more losses. Our three iron mines used to have a maximum of dozens of taels of tax silver each year. The god damned Liu Jin actually sent a tax supervisor to come and speak with thousands of taels of tax silver. This is to force officials to force the people. On the contrary!"

A scholar who came from a family of military generals said: "You should pay some money at most, but as my father is the official of a thousand households in the guard house, the old thief Liu Jin actually wants to check the land of the guard house, and wants to take away the ten thousand acres that our ancestors have worked so hard to save. Liangtian, unless it was Liu Jin who slaughtered our whole family!"

Just when these literati were indignant and told how much their families lost, several figures stood not far away.

The bamboo forests around the Bamboo Forest Book Club are verdant, delicate and pleasant. Chu Yi, Shi Kui, and a few Dongchang stalls walked into this bamboo forest, and they could clearly hear the eloquent speeches of these people from a distance.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Chu Yi's mouth, Daming really treats these people very well. In the huge south of the Yangtze River, the commercial tax is only tens of thousands of taels. Even so, these people are still willing to resist the tax.

Shi Kui glanced at the literati in the distance and said in a low voice, "Master, do you want to arrest someone?"

Although there are only dozens of people here, but at least dozens of large and small families are involved, Shi Kui is really worried, does Chu Yi dare to arrest these people?

Chu Yi smiled and said, "Let's take a look!"

The scholar in Chinese clothing just now looked at one of them and said, "Brother Liu, how is your grandfather, Mr. Dongshan, now?"

There was a bit of anger in Liu An's eyes and said: "The ancestor of the family was Yu Xiandi's dynasty, together with Wang Shu and Ma Wensheng, who were collectively called the Three Gentlemen. He's over seventy years old!"

Liu An's grandfather was one of the three famous gentlemen in the Hongzhi Dynasty, Liu Daxia, Minister of War, and it is conceivable that the Liu family had such a high-ranking official as Liu Daxia, and the Liu family naturally prospered.

Mr. Zheng said to Liu An: "Liu Gongzi, can Mr. Dongshan have any way to deal with it?"

Liu An whispered: "My Liu family has more than a dozen ships going overseas, because Liu Jin is a robber, my Liu family has lost tens of thousands of taels of silver in just a few months, and our ancestors have contacted our old friends. I won't sit back and watch Liu Jin continue to harm the country and the people like this."

Many people couldn't help showing joy when they heard Liu An's words, but Mr. Zheng stroked his beard and said, "Mr. Dongshan was an important minister of the late emperor's time, so he made friends all over the court and the public, whether in the court or in the world's scholarly forests. , with Mr. Dongshan taking the lead, he will definitely be able to force the emperor to order the eunuchs Liu Jin, Chu Yi and others, and make the emperor recall the tax supervisor, just the delusion of taxation!"
