"you!"
Xia Tong was so stung by Hu Jin's heart-wrenching words that he almost couldn't catch his breath.
"Ha" Hu Jin sneered and glanced at the civil and military courtiers with cold eyes. None of the civil servants looked at him, but there were many people in the Wu Ban who looked at him without any guilt. Their eyes were completely Joking?
Hu Jin smiled miserably. Everyone in the court was looking forward to the death of these remnants of the Jiangnan family.
It doesn't matter, nothing matters, his two nephews will definitely not survive. These vultures will never allow anyone related to the windfall they are about to receive to continue to live in the world.
I have pity on my Hu family, whose poems and books have been passed down to my family, which has benefited the whole village. How has my family been missing when repairing bridges and repairing roads? How did it end up like this?
Hu Jin felt desolate in his heart.
I really agree with the saying that there are no corpses when repairing bridges and repairing roads!
Hehe, this Jiangnan family is finally finished!
During the founding of the People's Republic of China, I had taken so many advantages, misappropriated so much of my own interests, suffered so much anger from them, and endured so many grievances. Finally, I was finally liquidated!
The nobles and many veterans were very happy.
".Accurate performance."
The emperor, who was wearing regular clothes and a Yishan crown, said expressionlessly.
The emperor actually couldn't bear it, but after seeing the more than 90 million taels of silver written in Jia Hui's letter, he threw away his last conscience.
There is too much money, and you can do too many things.
Therefore, for the great cause of Daqi, I will force you to reincarnate as soon as possible!
"Your Majesty, I impeach Jia Hui, the Duke of Dunhuang, for using the knife of the White Lotus Sect to massacre our loyal and kind family in Jiangnan Province. He is so heartless and has lost his conscience. The word "animal" cannot describe his behavior, and the word "beast" cannot describe his person! Hui'er, I'm waiting for you in the endless hell!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Jin rushed towards the imperial steps. The big Han general was startled. He took two steps forward and swept the handle from left to right with both hands. The golden melon in his hand hit Hu Jin's chest.
Hu Jin, who was already thin, was instantly hit and flew several feet into the air before landing. After rolling a few times, he lay on the ground groaning.
Finally the curse came out.
Yesterday I learned that my family was wiped out by an evil slave who killed his master. I was so sad that I had no intention of writing a long article to scold Jia Hui. Moreover, even if I wrote it, I would not have the chance to write it quickly tomorrow. After reading it, I could only write down all the vicious words I knew on the memorial, condensing it into one or two sentences.
Finally, let me curse you with death.
Jia Hui, I curse you to suffer in eternal hell forever!
But something went wrong in the plan. He couldn't crash to death on the imperial steps. He could only lie on the ground like a dead dog, feeling the warmth being peeled out of his body bit by bit, and the blood mixed with some pieces of meat from his mouth. It flowed out and I wanted to swallow it back, but found that I didn't even have the strength to move my tongue.
Why? I remember that when I punished my slave for the first time, he was like a dead dog with blood coming from his mouth and nose. He just kept looking at the sky with relief in his eyes.
Where is I?
. . . . . .
The civil and military courtiers looked indifferently at Hu Jin who fell to the ground and stopped twitching. His bloodshot and spiteful eyes also lost their aura.
"Your Majesty, Hu Jin, the former Shanxi Chief of the Criminal Department, intended to assassinate the king, but was stopped by the Han general and died under a golden melon!"
"Your Majesty, what Great Sinong said is true! Hu Jin's crime is extremely heinous and he deserves to be punished!"
"I second my opinion. Hu Jin is deeply favored by the emperor, but he does not want to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. He still dares to assassinate the king!"
"Your Majesty, please investigate Hu Jin carefully and assassinate him in front of everyone in the imperial palace. This assassin must be an assassin from the White Lotus Sect and a dead soldier sent by the rebels!"
"Your Majesty, I second the proposal! Please show Hu Jinxiao's head to the public as a warning to others!"
A military attaché came out and knelt down towards the emperor.
Um? We've ruined his reputation and it's already very unconscionable. You're such a crazy person and you still want to desecrate the body?
Do you want to be so cruel?
Ah, it's Jia She, then it's okay.
His own son has been scolded like that. If he didn't stand up and say a few harsh words, he wouldn't have to hang out in this court.
"Silence!" Xia Shouzhong stood up and shouted to the chaotic crowd.
The ministers quickly stopped talking.
"It's a pity that Hu Jin, the doctor of the Ministry of Justice, heard that his family was martyred last night. He vomited blood and died in grief and anger. He was awarded the title of Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice and buried." For the sake of money, the emperor finally gave Hu Jin the last trace of dignity.
The civil and military court officials saluted and said yes, and the subsequent treatment of the remaining members of the Jiangnan family was decided.
Go away decently.
For the sake of more than ninety million taels of silver.
. . . . . .
The atmosphere in Rongxi Hall today is very dull.
Without the laughter and laughter of the past, Jia Mu sat on the main seat with an uneasy look on her face, anxiously waiting for the men in the family to return home from the court.
Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. You next door were all sitting quietly in the lower seats, looking terrified.
The children were all sent to play in Huifang Garden of Ningguo Mansion, and the pregnant Li Wan was also there.
What Jia Hui did was really great!
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Jia Hui was killing someone with a borrowed knife. The person he killed was not just an ordinary person, but the Jiangnan family, one of the two most powerful forces in the court at the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Even after being continuously weakened by three generations of emperors, the Jiangnan family was still an important force in the court that could not be ignored.
As a result, he was killed by Jia Hui.
The most important group of allies in my family were killed by my own people in this way.
"Ancestors, gentlemen, the two masters of the Shi family and the second master of the Wang family have entered the Yimen!"
A little maid announced through the door curtain.
Jia Mu, who had been keeping her head down, raised her head and rubbed her eyebrows.
The ladies also stood up quickly, preparing to greet the relatives.
"The gentlemen are here!"
The little maids outside the door shouted into the hall and quickly opened the door curtain. The gentlemen filed in. They first saluted Mother Jia and then turned around to greet the ladies of each family.
"Second brother, Master!" Mrs. Wang finally saw her natal supporter and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
"Ah, it's the second sister." Wang Ziteng looked at his second sister and found that there was no change, so he didn't say anything. He sat in the top chair and started to be in a daze.
After everyone said hello, the ladies left Rongxi Hall and headed towards Ningguo Mansion.
The gentlemen also sat down in the direction of the old lady.
The maids filed in, each carrying a tray and pouring tea in pairs.
"Put down the teapot and go out! Lai Da, clear five feet!"
Jia She picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, then waved his hand to the maids to indicate that they could go out.
Lai Da quickly said yes and led the maids out of the hall, leading the Jia family generals to stand five feet away on guard.
"Why didn't you see Brother Hui's daughter-in-law just now?" Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing, had always admired Jia Hui the most. When Jia Hui was young, he also liked to play with his cousin with scars on his face.
"Brother Hui's daughter-in-law is in Huifangyuan, Dongfu. I'm afraid there will be some bad news, which may hurt her fetus if she hears it." Jia Mu said to her nephew.
"I see, my aunt was thoughtful and wanted to give my little grandnephew a piece of good jade."
"Tsk! What gift did my family give me? Where is the jade? Let me see first!" Jia She smiled at Shi Ding and said.
"Bah, once it's in your hands, I'm afraid the jade will never be heard from again, right?" Shi Ding glanced at Jia She with a look of disgust. After saying that, the old man laughed.
Huh, if you can still joke, then it's okay.
Mother Jia's hanging heart finally fell to the ground, and she who loved the excitement the most also started to laugh, making a rare joke with her eldest son.
After joking for a while, everyone fell silent.
"Zi Teng, you are the most astute among the brothers. Come and tell me, what is going on with brother Hui?"
Her two nephews are as reckless as her eldest grandson. She doesn't want to listen to what her eldest son has to say. However, her favorite second son is not qualified to go to court and is now working as an errand in the Ministry of Industry.
It's better to listen to the second boy of the Wang family.
"Hey, old lady, let me give you a good talk!" Wang Ziteng quickly responded to Jia Mu.
"Ahem, this matter starts before Jinyu leaves the capital. The matter is not complicated. It's just that the unlucky King Zhongxin was tricked by the White Lotus Cult and got involved in collusion with military merchants.
The fourth sister Min and her fourth brother-in-law were also involved accidentally. The fourth brother-in-law originally just wanted to investigate the salt merchant, but the salt merchant thought he was colluding with the military merchants under the pretext of inspecting the salt, so he started working with the Jiangnan camp. After the game was over, the fourth brother-in-law almost fell into trouble. Thanks to the strength of your general, he led the fourth brother-in-law to fight out.
The fourth brother-in-law also wrote a letter to Jinyu at this time and told him about this matter. In addition, since she wanted to defeat Prince Zhongxin, Jinyu went to Jiangnan as an imperial envoy in the name of the Commander-in-Chief of the Zuo Army to investigate the matter. "
Wang Ziteng took a sip of tea.
“After searching around, I found out about the White Lotus Sect. I followed the clues and found out that the White Lotus Sect wanted to use those domestic slaves who were trampled in the mud to rebel.
In addition, Jinyu is also young and energetic, and hates evil. After discovering what those aristocratic families were doing, she decided in a fit of anger to let the general use the sword of the White Lotus Sect to kill our old allies."
At this point, Wang Ziteng cut his right hand back and forth like a knife.
"I never expected that I would make a mistake. I submitted a petition to the royal family and completely gave up the Jia family's influence in Jiangnan as a sign of changing the family. Oh, especially when more than 90 million taels of gold and silver were copied from Jinling alone."
"Wait a minute, Zi Teng, my old lady's ears may not work very well, how much?" Jia Mu felt that her ears were broken.
"More than ninety million taels of gold and silver!" Wang Ziteng said every word.
"Hiss—no wonder nothing happened." Jia Mu understood.
So much was copied from the city of Jinling alone. When the war was over and the final collection was completed, Jia Mu could not even imagine how much gold and silver could be copied.
With so much gold and silver, and the fact that in the early years when the Jiangnan faction gained power, they offended almost the entire court, even Grandpa Taizu and Grandpa Taizong suffered a lot of grievances from them.
Well done Brother Hui!
Old relative? There are no unfaithful or unkind relatives in my Jia family!
Mother Jia was completely relieved.
"By the way, boss, how much money do you think Brother Hui can get?"
Jia Mu suddenly asked Jia She.
"Huh? At least ten million taels, right? I remember Brother Hui mentioned it in his letter."
Ten million
Even Jia Mu, who was used to seeing wealth and honor, couldn't help but become greedy, but she also thought that her eldest grandson was not easy to mess with. In addition, she and Li Wan lived in the Dunhuang County Duke's Mansion, both in terms of patriarchal and national laws. Even after the family separation, Jia Mu could only suppress the greed in her heart.
Forget it, forget it, I can’t hand out this money. Then again, if the family is in urgent need of money, will Brother Hui just sit back and watch?
Jia She beside him didn't think so much.
The money is in my hands. If I need money, can I still refuse to give it to me? Rounding off, the ten million taels can be considered as my own!
The two princes of the Shi family couldn't help but look envious.
They were not good at business and had already begun to spend their family's treasury. In addition, the Shi family had the largest number of members among the four families, so the expenses were even greater.
Hey, how about I write a letter to Brother Hui and ask my cousin to go to Jiangnan to make a fortune? Shi Ding felt that something was wrong.
Wang Ziteng didn't see anything, but swallowing saliva from time to time proved that his heart was not so calm.
These days, it’s not easy for anyone.
. . . . . .
Twenty days passed like this.
The White Lotus Sect organized several breakouts, but the Jiangnan Camp, which had gathered in Zhenjiang and numbered 60,000 people, defeated them time and time again. In the end, they could only continue to stay in Zhenjiang with hatred.
But this is not a bad thing for the White Lotus Sect. Fewer people means fewer mouths to eat. After all, they can survive for two more months.
However, the Qi army did not always defend passively during these twenty days.
Taking advantage of the excellent conditions of the White Lotus Sect leader in Zhenjiang City, Jia Hui took advantage of the situation to encircle the point and defeat many of the White Lotus Sect's reinforcements, which relieved a lot of pressure for the subsequent siege battles.
Rebellions developed as evil cults are the most troublesome.
If it is an ordinary rebellion, as long as the enemy leader is surrounded or the main force of the rebels is defeated in a decisive battle, or the leader is killed, the cities will most likely surrender.
If they succeed in taking down the city.
But if the evil cult rebels, it will be troublesome. Their resistance is always the strongest. Often the leader, the saint, and the like are captured alive and beaten to death, and the main force is eliminated. The fanatic believers who occupy the city will most likely persist in resisting to the end.
In front of this group of people who have regarded doctrine as the creed of life and even the underlying logic, it is useless to say anything, and even to persuade them to surrender is meaningless.
The country will not release these extremely dangerous magic sticks to the people. There is only one way waiting for them, death.
Since death is inevitable anyway, why don't I die in a grand way?
There is no other way to deal with these people, so we can only rely on attacking the city.
In addition, Lin Chong from Huai'an also brought good news.
Lin Chong wrote to say that the military skills of the children of the workers recruited this time were very good. After training the laziness in them, they trained the military formation and became a force that could directly enter the Beijing camp.
In fact, this was the case for the last batch of Cao Gong soldiers who joined the Beijing camp before the capital was moved. They, who have practiced martial arts and various military skills since childhood, and the old Qi troops in Linzi formed the basic base of the Qi Dynasty.
The letter stated that the distribution of formal armaments had begun, and it was expected that all personnel would be distributed in two days, and they broke camp and set off.
It's time for this farce to end.
Second update!
