The emperor will definitely kill the prince Li Xian. After Li Xian's death, Li Wanjiang will use the pain of losing his son to cause many things, and clearing the treasury arrears will definitely bear the brunt.
Li Wanjiang knew very well how the debts were incurred in the first place, but he still had to pay them off for two reasons.
The first reason is that Li Wanjiang is now preparing to go to war and launch a war, which requires a lot of money.
The second reason is that he feels that many important officials in the court are too rich... Where does all this money come from? He knew it very well.
If you know the truth and repay the money obediently, then it will be fine. If you don't know the truth and continue to complain to him, then don't blame Li Wanjiang for being ruthless and ignoring his old feelings!
If he wants to do this, he will definitely kill the chicken first to scare the monkeys, and he will definitely choose a few high-ranking people to do it.
Zhu Xiaochuan was actually vaguely aware of this. Now that Xiao Chen told him bluntly, he immediately understood the seriousness of the matter.
Xiao Chen is so smart, his judgment is always very accurate!
"Master Marquis, you don't have to pay it off all at once. You can pay a little less first, and show your attitude first. This will take the initiative, and you can pay back the rest slowly and not too late." Xiao Chen helped him solve another problem. Big problem.
"I listen to you!" Zhu Xiaochuan was overjoyed, "I'll give you one hundred thousand taels to take away first."
"Well, you can give it to me, otherwise it will be very difficult for me to get it if it is in the hands of the Ministry of Revenue." Xiao Chen was also very happy, it was a worthwhile trip.
"Give them a fuck? I get angry when I look at Chen Wenqi's black ass face!" Zhu Xiaochuan said, but then sighed and became sad, "Brother Xiao, if you leave, what kind of difficult things will my brother encounter in the future?" Who to ask?"
"Master Marquis, my brothers in the West Factory, as well as some of the past, are all entrusted to you." Xiao Chen's words were an explanation of the funeral arrangements.
"Brother Xiao, I won't tell you any lies. I don't dare to protect anything else but their lives." Zhu Xiaochuan agreed seriously.
"Thank you so much, Lord Marquis." Xiao Chen was very satisfied to get this promise from him.
After leaving the Zhenfu Division, he went straight to the Yamen of the Forbidden Army to find Wu Zicheng. Wu Zicheng was straightforward and very loyal. He knew Xiao Chen's purpose as soon as he saw him and took out a hundred thousand taels of silver notes without saying a word.
Brother Xiao, I know your difficulties, but if there are too many, I can’t get them all together at the moment. You only have these in your hand, and I will help you get them together later...
Xiao Chen was still a little moved.
Wu Zhong, the admiral of the Nine Sects, had no friendship with Xiao Chen, but when Xiao Chen came to visit him in person, he had to show some respect and gave him 50,000 taels to quickly send Xiao Chen away, the god of plague.
Xiao Chen shot three tigers in one morning, and now he wanted to beat a dog.
Go straight to Gong Shouli's big house outside and block him in the house. This is called beating the dog behind closed doors.
"Xiao Chen, you are going crazy!" I heard that Xiao Chen and his men broke into the house directly. Gong Shouli, who was making out with a newly married concubine, had no time to change his clothes and ran out with disheveled hair and bare feet.
"Eunuch Gong, I heard that you got married recently, so I came here to congratulate you. After all, it's rare for us eunuchs to marry so many concubines." Xiao Chen sat down carelessly. , looking at Gong Shouli looking embarrassed and smiling.
At first glance, it seems that there is a knife hidden in the smile.
"If you have something to say, just say it, and if you have something to say, let it go. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you!" Gong Shouli said angrily.
"You owe the Ministry of Revenue 700,000 taels of silver. The total including principal and interest is 800,000. When will you pay it back?" Xiao Chen didn't have time to talk nonsense with him.
"Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to ask me for a debt?" Gong Shouli slapped the table and shouted, "Get out of here!"
"It is the emperor's decree to recover the treasury debts. I also have documents stamped with the seal of the Ministry of Revenue and Chen Wenqi's power of attorney. How come I am not qualified?" Xiao Chen sneered.
"Huh, no money!" Gong Shouli didn't like Xiao Chen's behavior at all.
I will give you a coffin to see if you shed tears!
"You have forcibly occupied more than a dozen big Zhuangzi outside Fengyang City. Each Zhuangzi's annual income is more than 50,000 taels, which is 7 to 8 million a year. You have several big bank accounts in Fengyang City. The total amount of money deposited is more than one million, and you still lend money to others privately and charge high interest..."
"Back then, you accepted a hundred thousand taels of silver as a bribe from the wife of the great bandit Wang Lin, and changed his execution to hanging, leaving his body intact; three years ago in Jiangdong, you accepted a bribe of two hundred thousand taels from Shi Mingwen. Two taels of silver, and promised to make him the general of Jiangdong County; Chen Wenqi is the Minister of Household Affairs appointed by the emperor, and you also accepted him fifty thousand taels of silver..."
Xiao Chen recounted all the scandalous things Gong Shouli had done over the years, one by one.
"How did you kid know this?" Gong Shouli became more and more frightened as he listened. He sat down slumped as if his backbone had been ripped out, his face pale.
"Haha, I know a lot. Let me just say that your leg wasn't injured that badly at the time, right? Seeing that the situation was decided and you had received so much money, you became greedy for life and feared to follow the emperor. You might lose your life in battle, so I asked the military doctor to give you poisonous medicine and paralyze your legs. From now on, you don't have to charge into battle."
"Eunuch Gong, I, Xiao Chen, have no grievances against you, but you are always targeting me and plotting against me. I don't care about you at all. Your nonsense has nothing to do with me. I am too lazy to go to the emperor to discuss it." you……"
"Haha, you, Eunuch Gong, know who I am, Xiao Chen, and I always keep my word, but you should also understand my temper and my current situation. I can do anything if I'm pushed hard!"
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, it was up to Gong Shouli.
"I will pay back all the eight hundred thousand, and I will pay it back now." Gong Shouli was not a fool, and he immediately understood the current situation.
Even if others have these dirty information about him, they will never dare to report him, but this kid Xiao Chen dares!
Not to mention whether Xiao Chen will go to Li Wanjiang to complain, let's just say that he is here with troops.
This kid is in a desperate state right now. If he irritates this guy, he might even raid his home!
There are only dozens of servants in his family, so they can't stop him no matter what.
A good man will not suffer immediate losses, and he who knows the current affairs will be a hero... so he can only surrender first.
We'll see!
But it seems that there is no need to wait and see, because Xiao Chen will be leaving soon, and this bastard bit me before he died!
To say that Xiao Chen was quite polite to him, I heard later that this kid really ransacked the homes of several officials that day!
Those fools didn't know how powerful Xiao Chen was, so they straightened their necks and said they had no money. As a result, Xiao Chen confiscated countless gold and silver treasures on the spot, as well as many shady things.
In the end, he was sent to Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town, for various crimes such as disobeying the imperial decree, deceiving superiors and concealing inferiors, secretly taking concubines, secretly hiding royal treasures, etc.!
Among them were two Dusi of Jinyiwei. Xiao Chen didn't get used to it and sent them directly to Nanzhen Fusi.
With Xiao Chen's identity and his friendship with Zhu Xiaochuan, the Commander-in-Chief of Jinyiwei, the fate of these guys can be imagined.
You have to shed your skin even if you don't die!
This is what will happen if Xiao Chen is made anxious.
