"Zhu Chunchen, Duke of Chengguo, heard the announcement and heard that the Holy One had decreed that your government was illegally hoarding cotton yarn and raw silk, colluding with evil cults and thieves, and oppressing good people. He immediately confiscated the family property, and all the people were locked up and sent to prison to be punished!"
At this time, Xu Xianchun had already broken in with a group of people from Dongchang, and Xu Xianchun personally shouted with the imperial edict.
But at this time, there were many slaves standing on both sides of the corridor of Chengguo Palace, and they were all holding firearms.
Seeing this, Xu Xianchun was not afraid and shouted directly: "Dong Cheng! Do you really want to rebel and bring disaster to the nine tribes?!"
"Zhu Youxiao, this tyrant and one-man husband, even spares nobility. What's the point of rebellion? What's the point of fearing the disaster of the Nine Clans? I won't survive anyway!"
As Zhu Chunchen spoke, he shouted loudly: "Kill these eagle dogs to death!"
"How dare you!"
Xu Xianchun said coldly.
Dongchang naturally had undercover agents in Duke Cheng's Mansion, so he knew very well who the firearms holders in Duke Cheng's Mansion were, and also knew why these people did not open fire directly when they came in.
In addition, Xu Xianchun had already learned through secret reports that the other heads of the Chengguo Palace had secretly ordered their minions not to shoot.
Otherwise, he would not have entered Chengguo Duke's mansion directly without any fear.
Sure enough, at this time, Zhu Chunchen's younger brother Zhu Lingchen shouted directly: "Wait!"
Then, Zhu Lingchen knelt down towards Xu Xianchun and others with Zhu Chunchen's surprised look on his face: "Your Majesty's Jin Yiwei commanded the Qian Shi (dumb duty) Zhu Lingchen to accept the order!"
The other heads of the Chengguo Palace also knelt down.
Because these people are not fools, they know that as long as they accept the order of confiscation of their homes, the only one who will be killed is the head of the family, Cheng Guogong Zhu Chunchen, and if they really follow the rebellion, they will all be killed.
"you!"
Zhu Chunchen looked at these people in astonishment.
"Husband and wife are birds of the same forest. They fly separately when disaster strikes. What's more, these people of yours?"
Xu Xianchun waved his hand as he spoke, and a large group of Dongchang servants who were former camp soldiers went over with crossbows and firearms and ordered these powerful slaves to disarm.
"Search immediately!"
"Take everyone away!"
Xu Xianchun shouted an order, then glanced at Zhu Chunchen and pointed at him: "You are bound to die, but don't harm your family!"
…
"Zhu Chunchen insulted his father and threatened to rebel, which is an unforgivable crime! In addition, he hoarded cotton yarn and raw silk. He was punished for several crimes. His share of the shares was withdrawn, all his farmland was turned into an imperial village, and he himself was executed by breaking his car! His clan members They will all be exiled to Liaodong to dig potatoes and will never be redeemed!"
Zhu Youxiao immediately issued a strict order after learning that Zhu Chunchen was detained.
Because Zhu Chunchen's family was quite sensible and Zhu Youxiao was in need of free labor, he was not executed directly and was sent to Liaodong to dig potatoes.
Now, due to the influence of the Little Glacier climate, Liaodong is a place of bitter cold most of the time. Therefore, for the people exiled there, life is worse than death, but for Zhu Youxiao and Daming, it is It will help increase the number of Han people outside the customs and expand the northern territory in the future.
"I am the prince! Why are you treating me like this! Ah! Why?! It's just hoarding raw silk and cotton yarn. Why are you so mean!"
"A single man! A tyrant!"
On this day, when Zhu Chunchen was executed, he completely lost his mind. When he was pressed to the ground, shackled and pulled by five carriages, he started yelling and cursing loudly.
"Execution!"
Gu Bingqian, the Minister of Justice, was very conscientious and gave the order directly when the time came.
"Ah! It hurts! I was wrong! Your Majesty!"
Not long after the horse accelerated, Zhu Chunchen was torn apart in an instant.
The nobles of the Ming Dynasty in Beijing became more honest because of this. After all, even the dignified Duke Cheng was quartered by five horses, and they did not dare to cause trouble for the emperor again.
What's more, the current Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao has nearly 5,000 well-trained Yulin guards stationed in the capital, as well as tens of thousands of factory guards who only obey the emperor's orders.
…
"The ban on the hoarding of cotton yarn and raw silk cannot be stopped. The north has done a good job, and the south must also catch a typical example of strict punishment. Let Yang Huan in Shandong lead 5,000 Dongchang soldiers and go south immediately to Zhili Yan check!"
"In addition, a decree was sent to Xu Guangqi. After all the slaves of the prisoner Zhu Chunchen's relatives were exiled to Liaodong, in addition to letting them grow potatoes, they were also allowed to grow cotton. Duan Huangyi, the head of the country, was asked to control them and teach them how to farm!"
After Zhu Youxiao learned that Zhu Chunchen had committed suicide, he continued to arrange the next orders for Wei Zhongxian and Fang Congzhe.
…
"Stop those three official ships bearing the license plate of the Shaocheng of Dali Temple!"
After receiving the order, Yang Huan immediately took his Dongchang men and horses directly to the south via Dongchang Mansion. Soon, as soon as he entered Yangzhou, he discovered something was wrong with the three official ships parked at the dock. Many civil servants were carrying bags of large but seemingly not heavy goods onto the ship under the orders of a group of domestic slaves.
It's just that these three ships are under the banner of "Dali Temple Shaocheng".
But this does not affect Yang Huan's determination to absolutely inspect the three ships.
Now their master, the emperor Zhu Youxiao, is particularly tough in governance, and they have also become more rigid and have no fear of civil servants.
In addition, Xu Xianchun had already solved a major case in the north, arresting Xu Hongru and Wang Sen who were likely to rebel, and even later ransacked Cheng Guogong's home.
Naturally, he, Dongchang Dajue, who is responsible for investigating cases in the south, cannot lag behind.
After all, nowadays everyone pays attention to political performance.
Following Yang Huan's order, people from the East Factory immediately gathered around in small boats.
Soon, the first person to go to Dongchang started negotiating with the people on the ship.
"Bold! This is the ship of our Dali Temple Chen Shaocheng, Mr. Chen. Who gave you the power to check our ship!"
However, at the beginning, the people on this ship were quite aggressive. At this time, the crew member with a square scarf started to scold Dongchang.
At this time, Yang Huan had already led people from the shore towards here, so he directly replied loudly: "Dongchang can investigate all internal affairs, this is the imperial power's permission! Don't call you Shaocheng, you are the official of Dali Temple, even They are officials of the six departments, ministers of the cabinet, and even relatives of nobles and nobles, and I, the Dongchang, can also investigate them!"
As Yang Huan spoke, he slashed a pile of bags in front of him with his knife, and a lot of cotton was revealed inside: "How brave! It's really cotton, it's an official ship, not a merchant ship, why bring so much cotton!" "
Chen Yan, the prime minister of Dali Temple, came over at this time and happened to see this scene. He couldn't help being shocked: "You, you, when did your Dongchang come here?!"
After saying that, Chen Yan fainted directly.
"master!"
The student shouted hurriedly.
At this time, Yang Huan directly ordered the seizure of the official ship.
…
"Mr. Qian sent a message. Xu Hongru and other wealthy northern merchants were found out. Even Cheng Guogong was arrested. Now people from Dongchang have appeared in Yangzhou. Chen Yan, the Shaocheng of Dali Temple, has been captured. We can't No more waiting! We can't wait for the people from Dongchang to find out about us before we start cleaning up the Xu family. By then it will be too late!"
Wu Changshi wiped the sweat from his head and spoke to Man Chaojian and other Jiangnan gentry.
