The Qing army inside was punished unspeakably, and several weak people passed out on the spot.

Outside, Zhu Youjian was listening to the coughing inside, with a smug expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, if this continues, they will all die. Don't you want to capture them alive?"

Huang Degong said.

"Almost forgot, turn off the fire and let them out."

Zhu Youjian gave an order, and everyone quickly used spears to push the fire away.

The Qing army was waiting for this moment, and rushed out of it in a hurry.

Then, there was a loud coughing sound.

A few guys nearly coughed up their lungs.

Even if they had a chance to live, they'd have tuberculosis or something.

"Tie up."

Zhu Youjian waved his hand.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Qing army hadn't slowed down, the Ming army rushed forward immediately.

After a while, all the Qing soldiers were tied up and strung together with chains to become grasshoppers.

Of course, there were still a small number of Qing soldiers left in the tunnel, and they were all choked to death by the thick smoke.

"Seal the tunnel to prevent them from resurfacing."

Zhu Youjian said.

So, everyone sealed the exit with soil, and some guys threw a few burning branches inside to ensure that the oxygen inside was completely consumed.

"You? Are you His Majesty?"

Fan Yongdou has recovered and looked at Zhu Youjian in shock.

"Who else is it if it's not me? Fan Yongdou, I, Da Ming, treat you well, yet you dare to collude with the enemy and betray the country. Tell me, how do you want to die?"

Zhu Youjian was riding on horseback and asked condescendingly.

"Your Majesty, can a fine spare me from death?"

Fan Yongdou collapsed on the ground.

Zhu Youjian just wanted to refuse, but he immediately thought of Ye Chen, if Fan Yongdou's house was confiscated, he could only confiscate one property, and the Fan family's property spread all over Shanxi, of course he wanted to uproot the entire Fan family.

"Alright, then, how much silver do you have to buy your own life?"

Zhu Youjian asked.

"This? How much does His Majesty want?"

Fan Yongdou looked at Zhu Youjian hungrily as if he had grasped at straws.

Who is not afraid of death?Especially these Shanxi merchants who are so rich that they are used to the life of the rich, and they have not spent their money yet, so they are reluctant to die.

"Well, one hundred million taels of silver, is that all right?"

Zhu Youjian asked.

The Fan family has been operating in Shanxi for more than ten generations, and it should be able to get [-] million taels of silver.

"Ah? [-] million taels, this? Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is not even [-] million taels in the treasury. Where can I get it?"

Chapter 267

Fan Yongdou was crying.

"Can't get it out?"

Zhu Youjian looked Fan Yongdou up and down.

"Okay, how many taels can you take out?"

Zhu You inspected.

"It's only five million taels at most."

Fan Yongdou said.

"Alright, I'll sentence you to 500 years in prison for 100 million taels of silver. However, you can use money to sentence you. For every extra million taels you hand over, I'll commute your sentence for one year. What do you think?"

Zhu Youjian is not a fool either, he wants to empty out the Fan family in an alternative way.

"Your Majesty, are you serious?"

Fan Yongdou was overjoyed.

"Bold, can His Majesty's words be false?"

Huang Degong rushed over and was a big force, beating Fan Yongdou and turning three times on the spot.

"The surname is Fan, you are not joking, you will do what you say, and your sentence will be commuted by 100 million taels for one year."

Zhu Youjian said.

"Hahaha, since Your Majesty said so, well, I, I will pay 500 million taels, plus the previous 500 million taels, it will be [-] million taels of silver, which means that I am now innocent and don't have to go to jail. "

Fan Yongdou burst out laughing.

Zhu Youjian:......

He was first surprised, then shocked, and finally furious.

A small Shanxi merchant can casually come up with silver taels equivalent to the Ming Dynasty's ten-year tax revenue. What's the reason?

500 million silver, what kind of concept is this?

Almost half of the country can be bought.

"Bring it back."

Zhu Youjian waved his hand, and the Ming army escorted more than 100 prisoners to Datong Mansion.

Yi of Datong Mansion had received the notice a long time ago. He knew that a group of musketeers had entered the city and broke through the Fan family compound.

Fu Yin is a smart man, who can bring the Shenji Battalion to attack the Fan family, who else but His Majesty?

So, he came to meet Zhu Youjian ahead of schedule.

"Chen Geng, Governor of Datong Prefecture, attend Your Majesty."

"Pingshen, follow me to Fan's house."

Zhu Youjian looked at the fat Chen Geng expressionlessly.

Being able to be the governor of Datong, he must have some contacts with the Fan family, but he can't startle the snake yet.

Everyone immediately brought Fan Yongdou to the Fan family compound.

"Fan Yongdou, hurry up and hand over the [-] million taels of silver, otherwise, the consequences will be unpredictable."

Huang Degong patted Fan Yongdou's face.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will write a few letters to my family now, let the semicolons in other places sell the family property, and then collect the money and send it over."

After Fan Yongdou finished speaking, he began to write vigorously on the paper.

The Fan family can indeed come up with [-] million taels of silver, but this requires selling all their ancestral property, and this process is very complicated and may take a year.

Fan Yongdou wrote more than 40 letters home in a row, and handed them over to several messengers, so that they could be sent to various places in Shanxi and all over the country.

Because since the Fan family became rich, their vision is not limited to Shanxi, but the whole country, even the Jiangnan area has their Fan family's property.

"Have you finished writing?"

Zhu You inspected.

"It's finished."

Fan Yongdou laughed along with him.

"Well, come here, take him to the prison van, parade in Datong for a day, and then take him back to Suncheon."

Zhu Youjian said.

Not only Fan Yongdou, but also the more than 100 young soldiers were not spared, but they did not receive the same treatment as Fan Yongdou, and Fan Yongdou still had a prison car to sit in.

But the Qing army was not so lucky. They were dragged behind the carriage by iron chains, and if they walked a little slower, they would be dragged on the ground.

A heavy shackle weighing fifty catties was stuck around everyone's neck, and various symbols were painted on their bodies.

For example, words such as green dog, beast, animal, and raw human flesh.

The common people may not support Zhu Youjian very much now, but the common people are like this, they don't care who wins and who loses, they just want to watch the parade, and by the way, they can throw two rotten eggs to enjoy themselves.

Zhu Youjian believed that if one day, he was dragged down the street by the Qing army, the common people would not feel the rotten eggs on their hands.

"Look, is this the green dog?"

"It's really a green dog, look at the disgusting braids on the back of their heads."

"Hey, these bastards were finally captured alive, I smashed them."

A rotten egg flew over and landed on Qing Jun's nose accurately.

A stench spread instantly.

"I smashed it too."

Another rotten egg was thrown in the past.

At the beginning, this group of young soldiers wanted to frighten the sheep-like people with fierce eyes, but the people didn't care so much, all kinds of eggs, vegetable clappers, and small stones greeted them.

"Saugarus."

A Qing soldier cursed in Manchu.

Although the people couldn't understand, they could tell from his fierce expression that this guy was swearing.

"Damn it, you still dare to be fierce to me now, eat shit."
