"My lord loves to joke."
Mr. Lou actually picked up the vegetable leaves on his face and put them into his mouth: "If you are not satisfied with the food in the humble house, please just say it!"
This is called spitting.
I can't fix it for Cao Jixiang.
"The governor said he wasn't satisfied, so you just ate them all?" Cao Jixiang came straight to the point.
Grandpa Lou's face twitched, but he managed to show a smile.
Slowly picked up Cao Jixiang's bowl, picked up Cao Jixiang's leftover food, and started eating.
This is hob meat.
This is the kind of person who can achieve success.
Cao Jixiang had no choice but to play tricks on people like him: "Can you eat what I pulled out?"
"Your Excellency, you look down upon me. It's better for me to be respectful than to obey my orders." Lou Taigong also smiled at Cao Jixiang.
Bang!
Cao Jixiang pressed his head on the rice bowl.
Knock hard.
The rice bowl was smashed to pieces with a loud bang, and his head was bleeding.
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you!"
Cao Jixiang shouted: "Come here, search for me!"
Play hard and meet your ancestors.
Grand Duke Lou raised his head, with blood streaming from his forehead: "Sir, you can search my house, but please don't hurt my family, please show your respect!"
Snapped!
Cao Jixiang slapped Grand Duke Lou on the face: "Prince Ning rebelled, did you know?"
Grand Duke Lou knelt on the ground and cried: "Although my family is related to Prince Ning by marriage, my maternal family is my maternal family after all, and my family has absolutely nothing to do with Prince Ning."
"You would rather shirk it."
Cao Jixiang took off his hat, picked up a chair and tried to hit him.
But the chair was too heavy and Cao Jixiang did not pick it up.
"Do you know that the rebellion will kill the nine tribes! You are one of them!" Cao Jixiang was a little embarrassed and tried to cut him with a chair, but failed.
Grand Duke Lou was frightened: "Please show me your kindness!"
He concluded that Cao Jixiang had no evidence of Prince Ning's rebellion, otherwise he would not have had a polite meal and slowly looked for flaws.
At this moment, Cao Jixiang is making a big fuss in the house, which shows that he has not grasped the handle.
On the contrary, he is safe.
If you relax a little at this time, a real disaster will come.
"Where is the governor's knife?" Cao Jixiang was anxious and couldn't deal with this piece of meat.
"Sir, if you kill this old man, your hands will be dirty!"
Grand Duke Lou gritted his teeth and said: "My lord, I think this old man is an eyesore. Please let me come by myself. I will commit suicide so that my eyes will be clean. Please let me go. I am kowtowing to you!"
He put himself in the position of the weak and cried for Cao Jixiang.
Cao Jixiang ignored it.
But the patrol camp is full of inherently bad people, so how can they have any psychological burden?
Instead, he smiled and said, "Kill yourself."
Grandpa Lou was stunned.
Although he lived in the capital for more than a month.
But I really don’t know the difference between a patrol camp and a factory guard.
Because the patrol battalion has been monitoring temples and temples, although they are monitoring the streets of the capital, they are also monitoring merchants and inquiring about information.
Therefore, Lou Taigong believed that patrol battalions were just like factory guards, no matter how bad they were, they still had a little compassion.
It turned out that Cao Jixiang was a complete bad guy and a villain, and every person in the patrol camp was more evil than the last.
When these demons left the streets of the capital, the good people set off firecrackers to celebrate, but now the emperor has released the demons from their cages.
"Mr. Lou, do you need my help?"
Cao Jixiang smiled and said: "But I want to remind you that if I help you, it will not be considered suicide, and your family may not be saved."
Grandpa Lou gritted his teeth and banged his head against the wall!
There was a loud bang bang bang and no blood came out.
"Can someone die like this? How about fun?"
Cao Jixiang stopped smiling: "I don't have time to waste time at your house! Use this and have fun!"
He dropped the scabbard on the ground.
If you use this thing to smoke, you can't kill anyone.
Grandpa Lou still has to think of a way to kill himself with this thing.
He slowly put the scabbard into his mouth.
But he saw Cao Jixiang smiling like a devil.
He broke down and cried.
"Ahhh!"
He ran and hit the wall.
The scabbard went into his mouth.
Blood gushes out.
Grand Duke Lou lay on the ground and looked at Cao Jixiang in great pain, hoping that he would let his family go.
"Don't worry, you are not lonely on the road to hell."
Cao Jixiang smiled sharply: "Send the order, the Lou family has secretly hidden weapons and plotted rebellion, kill them all!"
Grandpa Lou’s eyes widened!
You have no evidence!
Cao Jixiang slowly walked up to him, squatted down, and whispered: "The evidence is not important. As long as your family is related to Prince Ning, you are guilty!"
"Mr. Lou, do you think the emperor will stop easily after making such a big fuss?"
"If I am tolerant to you, your Majesty will be harsh to me."
"So, please go die."
Cao Jixiang is the roundworm in Zhu Qiyu's belly.
The emperor is betting on his throne!
How many people would you kill and then let go gently?
This time, if the capital is not completely wiped out, will the emperor be able to sleep?
Only rivers of blood can scare some reptiles.
Only then can the emperor's heir be born smoothly.
Only then can Zhu Qiyu's throne be completely secure.
Cao Jixiang stood up: "Pack everything into boxes and send it to the palace."
"The house is sealed, and everyone has to compete. If you are alive, you will see the person, and if you die, you will see the body!"
"No one can be missing!"
"Whoever dares to hide the human population will be punished as the same crime!"
These people are sinners.
To cut weeds, we must remove the roots.
Now that he has been killed, there can be no further trouble.
"I obey the order!" Fanzi bowed his hands and obeyed the order.
"Next one!"
Cao Jixiang also provoked King Ning's in-laws to cause trouble.
The kings spread branches and leaves in various places, and their speed was astonishing.
But when it comes to the direct relatives of the royal family, after they are spread out, there are hundreds of thousands of people, and as many as more than 500,000 people.
The moths are not from the Wangfu family.
All the families who are related to the palace are working together to suck the blood of the Ming Dynasty!
I only punished the kings, but I couldn't find where the money had gone. I had to cut the grass and root out the problem to be clean.
With all the clan members moving into the capital.
Those who were related to the kings were also forcibly moved to Beijing one after another.
Regardless of whether you dare to come or not, you will be defeated by the Yi tribe, and even the kings will be deprived of it. In serious cases, they will be directly demoted.
More than two to three million people flocked to the capital.
As a result, housing prices in the capital skyrocketed, and the amount of grain transported into the capital by water also skyrocketed. Fortunately, the emperor dredged the rivers, and water ships entered the capital directly from Tongzhou, reducing losses.
It can be said that Gyeonggi has experienced tremendous population pressure in recent months.
What follows is huge food consumption, and the output in the north simply cannot support such a large population.
Cao Jixiang's next target is the Yu family, the mother clan of King Ning.
The Yu family is a noble family. His father (Grandpa Zhu Dianpei of Prince Ning), Yu Han, was the commander of the Wei command. He died of illness as early as the Xuande period. Currently, the person in charge of the Yu family is Prince Ning's uncle, Yu Xiang.
"Are you Yu Xiang?"
Cao Jixiang walked into Yu Mansion and asked casually.
"The little one is just a bitch, how dare he be a big man!" the servant said cautiously.
"Master?"
Cao Jixiang's face turned gloomy. This term was not used casually. Only people with high official positions could be called "big master".
The porter hurriedly said: "You called me wrong, it's the commander!"
"He is a small commander of a guard station, but he is worthy of being called a great master?"
Cao Jixiang glanced: "Cut his tongue!"
The servant screamed.
But two camp men, one on the left and one on the right, held him down while the other put a knife into his mouth.
Cao Jixiang didn't even look at it.
Just walk into the lobby.
Yu Xiang was waiting in the main hall with a respectful face and bowed first.
However, what greeted him was a cold blade on his neck.
"Isn't this Mr. Yu?" Cao Jixiang said in a strange tone.
Yu Xiang's face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground: "Sir, please forgive me, I don't dare to call myself that!"
"Isn't it too late to say you don't dare when you see the governor? Mr. Yu?"
歘!
The blade was lifted.
A shower of blood came out.
"Seal the mansion, check!" Cao Jixiang shouted.
Yu Xiang's body hit the ground, and his blood was red.
Yu Mansion is in a state of panic.
They were forced to move to the capital, and they were resentful, but because they had official positions and had made a lot of money over the years, they were able to live a good life.
But he didn't expect that entering Beijing would be a dead end.
Will Your Majesty just allow patrols to cause harm to the country and the people? Wouldn’t the country be in chaos?
Yu Xiang's eyes gradually lost their vitality.
"Nothing found?" Cao Jixiang sat in the main hall drinking tea and waited for a long time.
"Nothing." Tang Xu replied.
"Have you checked everything?"
Tang Xu affirmed: "There are no mistakes or omissions. Sir, what should we do?"
Cao Jixiang's eyes flashed with a stern look, and he beckoned him to come over: "Does the patrol camp have any numbered weapons?"
Tang Xu was startled and was about to say something.
"Keep your voice down, or you will die!" Cao Jixiang shouted.
It's you who don't want to die.
Dare you do such a thing? It's going to take your head off!
Tang Xu trembled and said: "Battle Supervisor, this is a matter of losing your head!"
"Then you can bring Lou Zhong and Yu Xiang back from the dead?"
Cao Jixiang asked him: "Is there anyone in the Yu Mansion who is out of breath?"
The soup sequence is bitter.
Those beasts have already done all the harm to people. Even if they survive, they will be left without people and ghosts. It will be even more embarrassing to go out to patrol the camp.
"Then it's over."
Cao Jixiang said fiercely: "Either the brothers in the patrol camp pay for their lives, or let them die unjustly. What do you think you should choose?"
"Put it down and do it!"
After staying in the patrol camp for so long, Tang Xu had some connections.
Get some weapons that have been eliminated from each battalion, grind off the serial numbers, and put them in the Yu Mansion to frame Yu Xiang's family.
"Do it beautifully and don't let anyone take advantage of it."
Cao Jixiang muttered: "Remember, don't kill everyone."
"Let a few out so we can continue fishing."
"It will also make it easier for us to investigate the Yu Mansion next time. Maybe we can find what we want? Right, Tang Xu?"
Cao Jixiang had a smile on his face.
"Understanding the mark!" Tang Xu went to do it.
Cao Jixiang's eyes flickered. Should this matter be reported to the palace?
East City.
Gong Hui is the craziest.
Wherever it passes, not a blade of grass grows.
Rush in and kill directly.
Geng Jiuchou saw Gong Hui murdering a merchant and stopped Gong Hui.
"Isn't this Mr. Geng?"
Gong Hui smiled strangely: "Your Majesty has made it clear that your family must also be investigated! No one in the entire capital can escape!"
"Must check!"
Geng Jiuchou looked directly at him: "Your Gong Hui family will also be investigated, so you can take care of yourself."
Although Gong Hui was strong and brave, he lost a lot in terms of momentum.
Although Geng Jiuchou was a civil servant, he was not afraid of his murderous aura and calm expression.
The key is that Geng Jiuchou still has the emperor's secret decree, and he can mobilize twenty-six guards at any time, and even suppress Gong Hui.
"Your Majesty's decree is to detect rebellion, not to kill anyone!"
Geng Jiuchou cupped his hands and said: "What you did will be reported to me truthfully. Your Majesty will not protect a murderer. You, Gong Hui, can take care of yourself!"
Then, pass by.
Pooh!
Gong Hui spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm: "Sour Confucianism, bad luck!"
"Let's go! Let's investigate the court officials!" Gong Hui became excited.
"Sir, the officials of the imperial court are so entangled that they dare not do whatever they want..."
Snapped!
Gong Hui slapped him on the face: "Do you think I am a fool? I asked you to investigate, not me! Do you understand?"
He was holding back his anger.
Recently he was doing business with someone.
The Ming Dynasty won the war, cities were being built at the borders, and hugely profitable businesses were everywhere.
In the past two months, he has been in charge of Dongchang and the entire capital. He is the emperor at night. As long as he raises his hand, countless money will naturally enter his pocket.
Those who flatter him are like crucian carps crossing the river.
There was a merchant from Jiangsu and Zhejiang who was very good at talking. He often gave him money and women. The thin horse he sent was really considerate, and he took him to do business.
The first few orders made a lot of money.
He increased his investment and ended up getting stuck.
It's all because of the emperor's orders every day. A few days ago, he had to protect the water and soil and not allow logging. However, these days, in order to speed up the construction of the city, he allowed logging in Mobei.
As a result, he lost money on all the large amounts of wood he had hoarded.
He is the dignified commander of the East Factory, the right-hand man of the factory, and the emperor's loyal dog.
As a result, I lost all my pants.
Put your own savings into it and pay it back.
But he used Dongchang’s money, millions of silver! Once discovered, the consequences will be disastrous!
When he was worried.
The emperor suddenly closed the city gate and ordered the factory guards to search for the merchants.
Isn't this a gift from heaven? If you can take the opportunity to search for it, make a little more, and make up for all the losses.
When Mobei's lumber is sold again, won't all the money go into his pocket?
So, Gong Hui killed people like crazy today.
Only by killing people can he put the merchant's wealth into his pockets.
Even if the emperor wanted to investigate, there was no evidence.
There's nothing you can do about him.
"You idiots!"
"What I mean is to divide into several teams. I will personally lead the team to check the merchants, while you go check the court officials!"
Gong Hui didn't want to share more money and go out, he wanted to eat alone.
There are no fools among his subordinates. When he heard this, he immediately understood that Gong Hui wanted to take advantage of it all.
"Brothers, I am not a stingy person. The income will still be divided proportionally, so don't worry." Gong Hui said with a smile.
Go ahead and fool the devil.
We haven’t seen how much money we get, and it’s not up to you to decide how much you will divide.
But they dare not speak out in anger. Gong Hui is in charge of Dongchang, and the factory boss favors Gong Hui.
Gong Hui continued to collect merchants.
Fan Qing is the complete opposite of him.
Fan Qing was also greedy for money, but he was fair in his dealings and basically let his brothers get the big share, while he and his brothers shared it equally.
He also has no airs, which makes him very popular in Dongchang.
It's not that he, Fan Qing, is selfless, but that Fan Qing wants a higher position of power.
After receiving the imperial edict, he was still in Dingquan's mansion.
Continue to analyze Ding Quan.
Ding Quan was the uncle of King Zhu Guixuan of Jingzhou. He raised five hundred private soldiers and also had weapons and crossbows.
The crossbow had its serial number worn off, but it could also be seen that it was a standard crossbow produced by the Bingzhan Bureau.
Since the Bingzhan Bureau was blocked by the imperial guards, the format of the crossbows produced has changed from before, so it is easy to tell whether it is the previous crossbow or the later crossbow.
These crossbows belong to the previous crossbows.
Fan Qing carefully inspected each crossbow and found loopholes.
Someone accidentally left a serial number on a crossbow.
Fan Qing peeled off the cocoon: "This is a crossbow machine leaked from the Beijing camp. These arrows are not of the military camp standard. Are you making them yourself?"
Ding Quan was covered in wounds. He was punished over and over again, but he still refused.
There was a glint in his eyes.
"It seems that I was right."
Fan Qing said calmly: "Do you think that the Beijing camp is so big that you can't find a crossbow machine?"
"you are wrong."
"Eight years before Jingtai, the Beijing camp was divided into ten regiments and battalions. The standard weapons of each battalion were all coded in detail. Each item can be found in the corresponding records in the Ordnance Bureau and the Military War Bureau."
"I've seen it. Your nine crossbows are all of the same standard. They obviously came from the same camp."
"Although there's only one number left."
"The ten regiments and battalions were changed by His Majesty into various armies, but the form was changed, but the core remained unchanged. The standard weapons are still well-documented."
"Ding Quan."
"Should you explain it yourself, or let me find out bit by bit?"
Fan Qing was deceiving him.
The Beijing Camp has undergone several reforms, soldiers are constantly flowing, and weapons have long been difficult to detect.
Besides, standard weapons can only show that they were produced in batches. No matter how many hands they passed through, nothing can be found.
He was just defrauding Ding Quan.
"Xiaowu, take this crossbow and go to the capital camp to investigate."
Fan Qing looked at Ding Quan: "Ding Quan, I want to give you some dignity."
"After all, you are from a wealthy family."
"If something bad is done to a daughter or daughter-in-law in the family, she will not be able to live in peace even if she dies."
"What's more, after entering Dongchang Prison, men suffer more than women, and it's even harder to die."
"I am out of kindness and want to give you some dignity."
puff!
Ding Quan spat out blood and opened his mouth, but still said nothing.
"This is what you just had."
"The tools used are not professional, so it's not really painful."
"When you go to prison, this is all trivial, one day at a time."
"If you don't do it again in a month, your skin will be itchy."
Fan Qing said with a smile: "After a month, you will find that death is such a happy thing."
"But in prison, it will be difficult for you to die even if you want to."
"You are a man, you should also think about it, are your son, daughter, brother, and sister all members of the family?"
"Think it through."
Fan Qing stood up slowly: "That's all, some people are not worth saving."
"I said!"
Ding Quan vomited a mouthful of blood and said extremely weakly: "Please give me a break, sir."
"I will not only give you pleasure, but I will also ask the Holy Lord to forgive your family as appropriate, so that they will not suffer at least."
Fan Qing said seriously: "I, Fan Qing, swear to God that I will never break my promise!"
The ancients did not swear easily, and they would always make a promise when they made an oath.
"It came from the regiment camp and was handled by the governor..."
Fan Qing's pupils shrank.
Guo Xing is a person who is valued by the emperor and has been given a title. This Dingquan will not deliberately bite Guo Xing, right?
"Sir, spare my family!" Ding Quan struggled and wanted to kowtow.
"Where did this private soldier come from?"
"Recruited at home, recruited when I was in my hometown!"
Ding Quan cried: "Buying some weapons is just for self-defense. There is no other meaning."
Fan Qing didn't believe it.
Why buy a crossbow for self-defense?
The court has great restrictions on bows and crossbows.
Once it is verified, the private sale of crossbows and the seizing of titles are a sign of the emperor's grace, and it is very likely that they will be executed.
Therefore, Fan Qing must figure out what he will do if he offends a proud earl.
"Ding Quan, are you kidding yourself?" Fan Qing changed his face.
He also realized that he seemed to have been tricked by Ding Quan.
Ding Quan is secretly changing the concept.
Using the source of the crossbow in exchange for his oath, but not telling the truth.
Put him in a dilemma.
Ding Quan raised his head: "I don't dare, a villain."
"My question to you is, where did this crossbow come from?"
Fan Qing shouted: "Won't I check it myself?"
Ding Quan looked confused: "Then, what else is going on?"
"You're pretending to be confused because you understand, right?"
Fan Qing looked sinister: "You are forcing me, and it is your children who will be harmed. Someone, go and drag his daughter in!"
Ding Quan shook his head: "Please, please show me your noble hand!"
"You are the one forcing me!"
"My lord has already sworn an oath, do you still have to reap the consequences?" Ding Quan was wailing.
But in Fan Qing's eyes, he was laughing at himself!
Make fun of yourself for being stupid!
Just swear!
You'll reap the consequences!
Fan Qing glared at him for a few seconds, then laughed suddenly: "Then go to prison. I will start investigating your relatives, one by one, and the truth will eventually come to light."
Ding Quan laughed twice strangely.
"Drag his daughter in!" Fan Qing yelled.
Ding Quan's smile turned into tears.
"I don't want to do anything like an animal, but you have to force me!"
Fan Qing sneered: "You really think that I am a living Bodhisattva!"
A crying woman was dragged in.
Ding Quan only cried but said nothing.
"After entering the imperial prison, Ding Quan, let's play slowly." Fan Qing sneered.
"Xiao Wu, lead a team and arrest all those who are related to Ding Quan in Beijing and send them to prison!"
"He doesn't take our Dongchang seriously at all!"
"Let him enjoy and be happy in the East Factory!"
Fan Qing walked to the door: "Brothers, hurry up."
There were cries from inside.
Looking at the blue sky, Fan Qing sighed. Dongchang did the dirty work, but sometimes he just couldn't be cruel.
The next target is Princess Du of Jingzhou.
This Du family is not ordinary.
His father is Du Ying, the deputy commander of the Xicheng troops and horses.
Du Ying is still alive and in the capital, and has now been promoted to the governor of the capital camp.
Fan Qing got on his horse.
Target Du Ying's house.
In the palace.
Zhu Qiyu received Shi Pu's memorial.
Snapped!
Zhu Qiyu threw it to the ground: "Look! There are millions of people outside the city, how many people with ulterior motives are there!"
"Keep your dog eyes wide open and see clearly!"
"If I hadn't had a premonition! Take precautions in advance!"
"Today, your whole family is damn dead! Every one of them died more miserably than the last!"
Zhu Qiyu was furious: "Publish the decree and deprive Shi Pu of his official position. Go home and think about your mistakes behind closed doors. No door will be opened without an edict!"
"Everyone in the Ministry of Industry will be demoted and go to Mobei!"
"A bunch of trash!"
He didn't say that Shi Pu's sword pointed at Hu Hui.
Avoid lightly.
First, he pretended to be angry and yelled, so that the courtiers would not dare to grab the pigtail.
He wanted to point his sword at Hu Hui.
But there are no soldiers in Beijing.
If Chen Shao hadn't gone to the palace to report before, he might have taken the opportunity to cause trouble.
But, not now!
The biggest problem now is not the millions of people, but someone plotting to rebel.
Five hundred armed soldiers were found from Ding Quan's house.
It really shocked him into a cold sweat.
If Hu Hui was implicated again, who knows how far it would develop, and he was worried that he wouldn't be able to control it!
Attack today.
He is gambling with the throne.
If he wins, he can successfully welcome the arrival of his little life.
If he fails, the worst he can do is go into a cage and pretend to be deaf and mute, waiting for the disaster of life and death to come.
But when Shi Pu came up with this memorial, he was caught off guard.
The timing is wrong.
"I am guilty!" The courtier knelt on the ground.
"All officials from the Ministry of Industry..."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were fierce: "I should have killed you all!"
"Fortunately, the country's territory is expanding and there is a lack of talents, so you are spared your life!"
"You left the capital alone and went to Mobei for three years. You were only tested but not promoted!"
"Make up for it with merit."
Zhu Qiyu stood up slowly: "How?"
He punished Shi Pu, but the timing of punishing Shi Pu was wrong.
Let Shi Pu understand that now he must unite with Hu Hui and dig out those who gathered to rebel.
This is the top priority.
The Ministry of Industry, headed by Kuai Xiang, knelt on the ground and said, "I would like to thank Your Majesty for your great grace. I am willing to go to Mobei to serve the country and do not dare to take credit."
"Cabinet, Six Ministries!"
"Take care of your own pigtails from now on."
"Don't let me catch you again."
"Otherwise, Ministry of Industry, this will be your fate!"
Zhu Qiyu shouted sharply: "And you, Lord Gonggun!"
"Millions of people gathered in the capital, but you turned a blind eye. How did you become an official?"
"Is your head full of shit?"
"I really should open your heads and take a look!"
"Everyone will be fined for one year!"
Zhu Qiyu sat down angrily.
The courtier knelt down again: "I am guilty!"
"You are not guilty, but guilty!"
Zhu Qiyu shouted: "Don't think that if you give the people some money, they won't rebel!"
"People are greedy. If you give them one penny, tomorrow they will want two, three, or four cents. Can you afford it?"
"ah?"
"Don't think that civilians won't rebel because they don't have weapons in their hands!"
"Idiot, won't they attack the weapons depot?"
"ah?"
"Standing in the court hall every day is damaging your head, isn't it?"
"Or is it the dog that ate your brains?"
"Every day the corpses are eaten, they are a bunch of trash!"
"Use your brain and think about it."
"If those civilians attack the capital, will they only attack the Forbidden City? Can they get in?"
"On the contrary, your own family is the first to be unlucky!"
"What will happen to your family if they are harmed by those civilians!"
"Don't you have any idea?"
"I'm saving you!"
"Idiots!"
"I'm saving you!"
Zhu Qiyu roared.
The courtiers were scolded so badly that they had to thank them.
Zhu Qiyu took a few deep breaths and looked at the dark crowd, feeling satisfied in his heart.
Can Emperors Taizu, Taizong, and Xuanzong scold officials like this?
This feeling is so damn good!
"Is the clan here?" Zhu Qiyu said slowly.
"Back to the emperor, the clan is entering the palace through the Meridian Gate." Feng Xiao reported back.
"Boost."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were fierce: "Ask two more guards to enter the palace."
"My servant obeys the order!" The emperor's sage aimed at Feng Xiao. The emperor did not trust outsiders.
Zhu Qiyu stood up slowly: "My lords, how do you think I should treat the King of Jingzhou?"
"Please, Your Majesty, deprive me of the title of king and demote me to a commoner!" Zhang Feng said through gritted teeth.
"Huh, so light? It's too cheap for him."
Zhu Qiyu muttered: "The Ding family of his mother clan raised five hundred private soldiers and they were fully armed."
"I want to be like Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty, who led five hundred warriors into the palace to rebel. He thinks that I am that idiot Li Dan!"
"Tell me, am I Li Dan?"
"Your Majesty is so wise and powerful that he cannot be compared to Tang Ruizong." The courtiers did not dare to call Li Dan directly.
Li Dan is the emperor.
How dare the ministers call the emperor by his name?
"The King of Jingzhou is not Li Longji."
"Li Longji can create the prosperous Kaiyuan era. He is the sage monarch of China. How can he be worthy of that idiot King of Jingzhou?"
Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Send the order, speed up, and the Jinyi guards will assist in the investigation and conduct a thorough investigation."
"My slave obeys the order!" Feng Xiao kowtowed and sent someone to convey the order.
The palace door could not be opened, so people could only climb on the wall and deliver the imperial edict.
Those sent were all from the Qianqing Palace.
Prevent someone from being taken out of the palace.
Zhu Qiyu breathed a sigh of relief: "After the clan enters the palace, close the Meridian Gate and order the imperial guards to guard the Meridian Gate, Huiji Gate, Fengtian Gate, Xuande Gate, Hongzhi Gate and other gates."
"Order the food bureau to pass on the food."
"Everyone, get up, it's time to finish your meal."
"Move the official business of the Military Aircraft Department over here and let all the ministers work here."
Zhu Qiyu is cruel enough.
Trapped the officials in the Fengtian Palace and asked the factory guards to check on their families.
And let people work.
And outside the palace.
Cao Jixiang specifically picked on relatives of Ning Fan to cause trouble.
The Song family, the principal concubine of Zhu Dianlei, Prince of Le'an County, was the seventh daughter of Song Yong, a thousand households in Nanchang Zuowei. This Song family was also forcibly moved to Beijing.
But after Song Yong's death, his family's wealth was not much.
Because of the discord between Prince Le'an and Prince Ning, they did not receive much property. However, Prince Le'an searched the local area a lot, but the Song family still had no money.
Because the king of Le'an County did not favor his concubine, but instead favored his concubine.
The prince of Le'an County has more than twenty concubines, eight sons and seven daughters, which can be said to be a blessing.
Cao Jixiang found Song Yong's eldest son Song Qian in a small bungalow.
Song Qian did not take up the post because the emperor hated Prince Ning, and the son of a military household who married Prince Ning could not get a title for a long time.
Prince Ning also hated his uncle and did not speak for him.
By the eighth year of Jingtai, Song Qian was already in his fifties and had no position yet.
He was originally supposed to serve in the Nanchang Left Guard, but the Jiangxi Guard was reorganized into the Jiangxi Army.
However, because of his marriage relationship with Prince Ning, he was forcibly recruited into the capital.
As a result, his status became even more embarrassing. He did not have military status in the guard station, and he had no place in the Jiangxi army. As a relative of the prince, he was not welcomed by the emperor, nor by Prince Ning.
The Song family has done this extremely well.
He could only wait until his eldest nephew Zhu Jinxiang attacked the prince of Le'an County before he could enjoy the blessing.
"See you, sir!" Song Qian didn't dare to show off and knelt down directly.
Cao Jixiang has never seen such an obedient relative of the royal family: "Mr. Song, please rise. I cannot afford such a great gift."
"Deserve it, deserve it."
With a flattering smile on his face, Song Qian welcomed the patrol camp into his home.
The dignified brother-in-law of Prince Le'an, however, only lives in a house with three entrances. It looks relatively simple. There is a set of calligraphy hanging in the main hall, and he is decorated like a scholarly family.
Cao Jixiang, with his big horse and golden sword, was sitting in the front seat and winking at others.
This small house can only be completed after a quick trip.
There isn't much to hide, just send a few people to check it out.
"Mr. Song, why do you live in such a shabby place?" Cao Jixiang asked with a smile.
"Thanks to His Majesty's kindness, we moved to the capital. Naturally, we dare not be extravagant and wasteful."
Song Qian said with a smile: "This three-level house has more than forty rooms, which can be accommodated even if it is crowded."
Cao Jixiang said pleasantly: "How much did you buy this house for?"
"Only a hundred thousand taels."
Song Qian immediately said: "My father still has some savings, but he invested them in real estate. Now the family is empty."
The location of this house is indeed average, close to Fuchengmen, and it can be regarded as a remote house in the capital.
"I see it."
Cao Jixiang's eyes suddenly flashed: "Isn't there a capital camp stationed outside Fucheng Gate?"
"To be honest with you, sir, we are indeed stationed in the capital camp."
Song Qian asked: "Is there any problem?"
"No questions, just asking."
Cao Jixiang looked at the tea but did not drink it: "I just drank tea in the afternoon."
"I've had tea with several families, including Mr. Lou's family and Yu Xiang's family."
"I'm so drunk that I won't drink anymore."
Song Qian's face twitched, they were all relatives of Prince Ning.
They entered Beijing together.
But those two families were very wealthy and bought a big house directly in the center of the city.
He, Song Qian, could only be envious, jealous, and resentful.
"Sir, what happened?" Song Qian asked cautiously.
"Why are you so interested in things outside? Mr. Song!"
Cao Jixiang grasped the handle.
Plop!
Song Qian was so frightened that he knelt on the ground: "The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare!"
"But you are very interested in the governor's whereabouts!"
Cao Jixiang said meaningfully: "I am interested in both the Lou family and the Yu family!"
"Sir, those two families are somewhat related to my king..."
Song Qian didn't finish his words.
Snapped!
Cao Jixiang picked up the tea cup and smashed it on his face: "This is why I came to you!"
Song Qian screamed.
His face was splashed with boiling water, and he was hit by a tea cup, dripping with blood.
There is a servant outside the door who wants to come in.
Cao Jixiang glanced outside: "Do you dare to assassinate my governor?"
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Song Qian knelt on the ground, enduring the severe pain and kowtowing.
"Arrest that servant!"
Cao Jixiang found that the man was strong and strong, as if he had practiced.
"Sir, please show your respect..." Song Qian hugged Cao Jixiang's leg.
However, Cao Jixiang pulled out his sword and put it on his neck: "I am inspecting a servant, why are you so excited? Ah? Song Qian, let go of me!"
Song Qian quickly let go, his face turned earth-colored.
Soon, the impulsive servant was escorted in.
Click!
Cao Jixiang slashed his back with a knife, causing blood to drip from his body.
The servant screamed, with a fierce look on his face, as if he was about to rush over and kill Cao Jixiang.
Cao Jixiang was not frightened, and slashed at the man again, knocking him to the ground.
"Which guardhouse are you from?" Cao Jixiang lowered his blade, and blood dripped down the blade, which frightened Song Qian.
The man didn't answer. He was slashed twice and remained silent. He was a man.
Song Qian crawled over and took out a banknote: "This servant is ignorant and disturbed the Lord. I will use this money to treat the Lord to tea!"
"With ten thousand taels of silver, is this governor so mean-mouthed? Drinking such low-quality tea?" Cao Jixiang sneered.
Song Qian hurriedly said: "I'll go to the back hall and get some more for you!"
"How much?" Cao Jixiang asked, looking greedy.
Song Qian swallowed and spat: "Two, no, no, fifty thousand taels! Fifty thousand taels! Please show me your noble hand! Please show me your noble hand!"
Cao Jixiang squatted down: "Didn't you say that after buying this house, the family has no money? Where did you get 50,000 taels of cash?"
Song Qian immediately understood that Cao Jixiang was fishing.
Immediately changed his mind: "My lord has misunderstood. What I mean is to sell off the property immediately, sell off the property!"
"Ha ha!"
Cao Jixiang laughed at him: "Send someone to search!"
"Sir, don't!" Song Qian went to grab Cao Jixiang's leg.
Suddenly a shrill scream came out.
Cao Jixiang slashed his arm with a knife.
"Which health center does that person belong to?"
"How many servants like this do you have in your family?"
"explain!"
Cao Jixiang did not draw out the knife, but instead stepped on the back of the knife with his screams and kept stepping on it.
Song Qian screamed: "You, I don't know what the adults are talking about!"
"Battle Supervisor, we found it!" The man from the patrol camp took out a box with more than a dozen banknotes in it, each worth ten thousand taels.
Snap!
Cao Jixiang threw the box on the ground.
He asked: "Where did the money come from?"
"My lord, you have misunderstood, this is not my family's money, it is not my family's money!"
Song Qianyue refused to admit it.
Cao Jixiang also knew that there was a big secret hidden in it.
This time I found the right person.
"Catch everyone in the Song family!"
Cao Jixiang let go of his foot and said, "I will kill them one by one. I don't believe that no one knows about it!"
Song Qian cried out in pain.
"I gave you a chance, but you don't want it yourself, so don't blame me for being ruthless."
The camper took the knife out of Song Qian's arm, wiped off the blood with his sleeve, and handed his hands to Cao Jixiang.
Cao Jixiang grabbed it in his hand and tilted his head to look outside the house: "Why is it so noisy outside Fucheng Gate?"
"Go back to the camp, there are millions of people gathered outside!"
Cao Jixiang's eyes suddenly looked back, as if he thought of something, and he put the knife on Song Qian's neck: "Tell me, why did you buy a house here?"
Song Qian cried and howled.
Cao Jixiang struck him on the back with another knife: "Don't force me, I will chop you into pieces!"
Song Qian felt pained: "I like the scenery outside the city and often go out for a walk, so I bought it here, and this house is cheap."
"Are you fooling a fool?"
Cao Jixiang pierced the blade into the skin. It would not kill anyone, but it would be extremely painful.
Song Qian was jumping up and down in pain, but he was held down by two battalions and not allowed to move.
"When did you buy it?"
Song Qian was so hurt that he couldn't speak: "Last month!"
"Last month, there were quite a few civilians in Beijing, and they all lived outside Fuchengmen."
Cao Jixiang was confused: "What's the specific number?"
"The villain doesn't remember!"
"You spent more than 100,000 taels to buy a house. For such a big deal, you can't remember the specific day?" Cao Jixiang kept digging in.
Song Qian kept screaming in pain.
"Okay, since you don't speak, I have many ways to make you speak!"
At this time, Song Qian's family members were all detained outside the main hall.
"Tang Xian, go pick someone to show Mr. Song the methods of our patrol camp." Cao Jixiang threw away the knife, wiped his hands, and sat down on the chair.
Song Qian was stunned.
Tang Xian is Tang Xu's biological brother and Cao Jixiang's best friend.
He arrested Song Qian's son.
In front of his biological father, he began to go through the torture instruments.
"I said, I said!"
After a cup of tea, Song Qian couldn't stand it any longer: "Please, sir, please give our whole family a happy life!"
"As long as you cooperate with me, your family will not be punished until death."
"Maybe I can ask the emperor to give your family an official title!"
Cao Jixiang picked up Song Qian's tea bowl and put it to Song Qian's mouth: "Here, take a sip."
Song Qian didn't dare to be ignorant, opened his mouth and took a sip of tea.
"Look, this is a toast."
"You drink it, that's it."
Cao Jixiang smiled and said: "Never make a toast and not eat as a penalty."
Song Qian kept nodding.
He confessed all the causes and consequences.
He didn't buy this house, someone gave it to him.
His family's money was originally intended to buy a house, but in the end, he got a huge bargain and someone gave him a house for free.
"Who gave it to you?" Cao Jixiang asked with twinkling eyes.
