Following Zhu Gaojie's order, everyone from the Jinyi Guards to the army's personal guards immediately took action resolutely, holding the sword above and looking around to arrest them with red eyes.
Faced with this extremely bad situation, those Northland families who had helped the assassins were suddenly in bad luck!
Originally, they had seen the messenger from the capital. After receiving the news, although they were panicked, they still tried their best to help these assassins.
After all, based on Zhu Gaojie's many previous actions, many aristocratic families can clearly see that His Royal Highness the Prince dislikes their families very much, and can even be called disgusted!
Whether it was in terms of money, land, or officialdom, the prince seemed to be very dissatisfied with the wealthy families like them. In the south, he even taxed dozens of people and claimed dozens of lives, with blood splattering everywhere!
Judging from the fact that the Confucian scholars were rioting but he was quickly suppressed, in the future, officials or scholars may also be interfered with by those poor scholars whom he values!
As the saying goes, destroying a person's wealth is like killing his parents; destroying a person's career is worse than destroying his ancestral graves!
The series of attitudes shown by Zhu Gaojie, coupled with his high prestige in the military, how could this not make many wealthy families in the North feel extremely worried?
Therefore, these people were willing to take huge risks, gathered together, and joined forces with each other. They first murdered the old emperor who was seriously ill and in a coma, and then sent dead soldiers to assassinate Zhu Gaojie who had returned!
However, the old emperor was dead, but the assassination attempt on Zhu Gaojie completely failed!
This made the few Northland families who assisted the assassins and helped them sneak into the reward team feel uneasy and panicked afterwards.
If Zhu Gaojie dies, not only will they be fine, but they will also have the opportunity to master the art of following the dragon again, allowing their family to take a further step forward.
But now that Zhu Gaojie is not dead, things will inevitably become serious!
Although Zhu Gaojie didn't seem to say anything after being assassinated that day, he just showed his face and returned to the military camp, but the pursuit that followed began in full swing.
After all, the person who was assassinated was the current prince!
Especially Zhu Gaojie has always been upright in this regard. Do you want my life? Okay, as long as I don’t die, then I will kill you first!
As a sharp blade in Zhu Gaojie's hand, Jin Yiwei is extremely sharp and extremely arrogant!
In addition, now that the army is stationed, the soldiers of the three major battalions have extremely high respect for Zhu Gaojie. They all hate these assassins who do not know whether to live or die, and they spare no effort to cooperate with the Jin Yiwei's arrest.
Therefore, after being assassinated that day, Zhu Gaojie only made some slight repairs, then stopped the army and stationed it outside the city with extremely tight security.
At the same time, under the strict orders of Su Wu and Shen Qingyu, a large number of elite soldiers from the three battalions, together with the troops of the Jinyi Guards, sealed off the entire Yunzhou City and began a large-scale search.
This caused several families in the city, including some officials, to panic and even be in a state of panic.
After all, even if they have tried their best to make it seamless and tried to eliminate many clues, and those assassins are all dead soldiers with no evidence of death, but under such a large-scale search, I am afraid that Jin Yiwei and... What did the soldiers find out...
And once it is discovered, things will not be easy to handle!
However, there are some people who are lucky. On the one hand, they think it is impossible to find out about themselves. On the other hand, they also feel that their family is strong. Although you, Zhu Gaojie, are now well-known, without any evidence, do you dare to accuse them? Do we kill the killer?
If that's really the case, do you still want to be the Ming Emperor?
Treat us like aristocratic families preferentially so that you can be in charge of the government stably in the future. Otherwise, the imperial power has not been sent to the countryside since ancient times, and local taxation is basically decided by the aristocratic families. As long as you do something casually, Ming Dynasty's tax collection will have problems. The imperial court's finances are about to have a big problem!
It is precisely with such arrogant thoughts that these families always feel lucky. Even after the Jin Yiwei led the army sergeants to surround their house, they still felt unbelievable.
"You Jin Yiwei are simply cowards!"
In Yunzhou City, the Zhang family, which occupies a large area and has always been domineering, saw that their house was surrounded by countless armored Ming officers and soldiers, and many imperial guards were standing in front of them. A housekeeper stood up directly. He came out and yelled:
"Do you know that this is the Zhang Mansion? Is this where you idiots and vulgar soldiers can come? Get out of here!"
Jinyiwei's reputation among the people has never been very good, and many aristocratic families secretly call them Jinyidogs and Goupisi, but this is really the first time that someone has pointed their noses at them and openly insulted them.
Shen Qingyu and Su Wu did not come forward, but planned from behind. Therefore, the leader was Qian Hu, a member of the Jinyi Guards, and Shen Qingyu's confidant, with a decisive and gloomy personality.
At this time, after being insulted, he was stunned for a moment, then became angry, and his eyes became blood red. He turned to look at the lieutenant general next to him, and then said coldly:
"General Qiu, brother, I am a rough man. This dog across the way dares to bark like this. I really can't wait for a moment!"
When the deputy general heard this, he immediately laughed. He had been fighting in the army for many years and had never seen any scenes. Therefore, he did not take the scene in front of him seriously. After all, in his opinion, this housekeeper was already dead... …
"Brother, you go first! If a dog dares to bark, of course it must be killed first, haha!"
With a shrill scream, the steward of the Zhang Mansion, who was uttering wild insults, was cut off by Qianhu with two swipes of his sword!
Qianhu was annoyed that he had spoken rudely, so he swung the blade horizontally and smashed the man's mouth, and blood immediately flowed out!
"Your affairs have been revealed!"
"The Crown Prince ordered the Zhang family to be confiscated!"
"Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"
As the Jin Yiwei Qianhu gave orders coldly, countless Jin Yiwei and soldiers immediately poured into Zhang's house, tying up one by one. Those who shouted were immediately beaten, and those who dared to resist were immediately served with swords.
Some people saw a bad opportunity and wanted to climb the wall and drill a hole to escape, but they didn't know that Jin Yiwei had already led people to set up a dragnet, and not even a fly could fly out.
There were even several groups of troops wandering around, holding divine arm bows. If they saw the fish that had slipped through the net, they would shoot him in the face without saying a word!
At the same time, the same scene was happening to several other families! (End of chapter)
