"I don't care whether you know about Yi Tingjian or not, you will be punished severely!"
"You don't know how much manpower, material and financial resources the imperial court spent on developing Taiwan! What's more, our Ming people's agricultural farming skills and spinning and water conservancy experience are far superior to those of overseas natives. Once they are kidnapped, they will strengthen the colonial power of foreign countries. Strength, not the strength of my Ming Dynasty!"
"It's good for him. He not only arranged for these Han people to settle and cultivate, but also took the lead in human trafficking. Didn't he read all the books and go to the dog's belly? Did he also know that he was also a Han! He actually sold his compatriots to foreign barbarians!"
"I remember that this is not what is written in the decree. Xingmingshe also mentioned the concept of loving the people. It is a good thing for him, Yi Tingjian, to ignore all of this!"
After Zhu You's principal scolded Fang Congzhe, he ordered: "In drafting the edict, Yi Tingjian and other officials in the Taiwan government have no regard for the emperor. They resisted the edict, violated the law, and illegally smuggled their own people. It is really a heinous crime! Take Dongchang. Conquer the homes of all these people, take their families to the capital first, and take him to the capital as well! In addition, as for the fact that you recommended Yi Tingjian, I can not deal with you for now, but next, if you arrest him If Yi Ting fails to remonstrate with you, I will hold you accountable for your negligence!"
"Yes! I would like to thank Your Majesty for your forgiveness. I am so stupid that I recommended such a bastard. I am committing a grave sin."
Fang Congzhe replied with a cold sweat.
He also didn't expect that Taiwan's prefect Yi Tingjian would set such a big trap for him, because this would undoubtedly make the slaves who immigrated to Taiwan for more than half a year fall short.
Although there were many people in the Ming Dynasty, due to the implementation of policies that inhibited land annexation such as clearing landownership and dividing land into acres, as well as the development of industry, there were not many people who could be moved.
After all, Chinese people are all relocating to their new homeland.
The only people who can immigrate are criminals and refugees.
But now Yi Tingjian has directly sold a group of Han people who moved to Taiwan. It is obviously impossible to find so many Han people now.
After all, people are not crops. They can grow back immediately after being cut.
What's more, they are Han Chinese with rich farming experience.
As soon as Fang Congzhe returned home, he asked Fang Shihong: "Has Taiwan Governor Yi Tingjian contacted you?"
"Gu Bingqian introduced him, what happened?"
Fang Shihong asked.
"Don't save him, otherwise the wrath of thunder will fall on our Fang family!"
Fang Congzhe replied.
Then, Fang Congzhe sighed: "These people are really uneasy. Sooner or later, we will fall into the hands of these people!"
Fang Shihong understood immediately and shouted: "This bastard! He has done some bad things. His son also greeted them and asked them to be honest, but no one took him seriously!"
Fang Congzhe only said: "I'm afraid your father's bullet will be released soon after this happens!"
Fang Shihong really had no idea how to save Yi Tingjian, and he didn't even notify Yi Tingjian of the matter.
Therefore, when Yi Tingjian saw people from Dongchang appearing in front of him, he was moved and surprised. He couldn't help asking: "I am Yi Tingjian, the governor of Taiwan. What are you people from Dongchang doing here?"
Qiao Ke, a greyhound from Dongchang, replied: "Prefect Yi, your incident has happened. Please come with us."
Yi Tingjian naturally understood at this time, and couldn't help but back away, saying: "No, no, I won't go with you, but I know Mr. Xiaoge! Mr. Xiaoge, do you know that he is Mr. Fang Xiaoge!" "
"Mr. Fang Xiaoge can't control Dongchang's affairs, take him away!"
After Qiao Ke replied, he shouted loudly.
And then, Qiao Keke looked at the other officials of the prefect's yamen behind Yi Tingjian: "His Majesty's decree is to take you away too!"
These officials were shocked. They did not expect that His Majesty the Emperor would take them all away, so they all immediately fell to the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Get in!"
Yi Tingjian was forced into a narrow interrogation room by Dongchang Banner School with thick cushions on the walls. This interrogation room only had a small window at the top, but it was basically closed most of the time. , this interrogation room is a small dark room.
"This is the interrogation room. You will spend the rest of your days here. You can remain silent here, but if you want to speak, every word you say will be used as evidence in court. Once If you conceal anything, you will be charged with the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
At this time, Qiao Ke could say a few words to Yi Tingjian outside the door of the interrogation room.
Yi Tingjian could only stand, kneel, or sit, but he could not lie down because the interrogation room was too narrow.
But because of this, Yi Tingjian felt very uncomfortable and simply asked: "Can you change my interrogation room to a larger one?"
However, the people in Dongchang ignored him.
Yi Tingjian became angry because of this, and shouted louder: "I want to change the interrogation room to a bigger one!"
The people in Dongchang still ignored him.
Yi Tingjian was completely irritable now. He wanted to hit the wall and shouted loudly: "No matter what you say, I am still an official of the imperial court. Can your East Factory change the interrogation room to a bigger one?"
The people in Dongchang still ignored him.
Next, no matter how much Yi Tingjian yelled, the people in Dongchang ignored him.
A few days later, Yi Tingjian's psychological defense completely collapsed and he confessed all his crimes.
"It was the idea of the slaves of the Da Si Kou family to sell the common people who migrated to Taiwan to Chinese and foreign merchants. It was said that it was the Da Si Kou's intention. When the time came, it would be 70%, and the lower officials would get 30%, 20% to the Da Si Kou, and 50% to the Xiao Si Kou. Mr. Ge, this is the only way to ensure that the lower official will be promoted step by step. The lower official thought that this way he could make some money and satisfy Mr. Xiao Ge, so he did so."
Yi Tingjian told the truth.
"All the officials in the Taiwan government were beheaded! As the prefect, Yi Tingjian took the lead in disobeying the decree and aggravating the punishment. He should have been torn apart, but after reading his explanation, he was very positive, so the sentence was changed to beheaded! All the property of the offending officials was confiscated, and their nine ethnic groups All their families were exiled to Taiwan. These bastards who do not regard themselves as Han people as human beings, who violate my repeated orders strictly prohibiting the trafficking and smuggling of our own people, and who only care about money, had better hope that the officials who replace them can obey the imperial decree, otherwise their My family will also be sold as slaves! Let the new Taiwan officials remember that if they dare to sell the Han people who moved to Taiwan today, they will be exiled as members of the nine ethnic groups tomorrow!"
After seeing Yi Tingjian's confession, Zhu Youxiao immediately issued a strict decree.
Then, Zhu Youxiao ordered: "As for Yi Tingjian's confession, all this is because Gu Bingqian, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and his slaves ordered him to sell and smuggle the common people who were moved to Taiwan, and it was also related to Fang Shihong. Gu Bingqian and Fang Shihong were involved first. Sincerely! For the sake of their contribution to the imperial court, I can give them some dignity and let them report themselves first and then deal with them. But if I know that there is any lie in their self-reporting, I will Never be lenient!"
Fang Congzhe didn't say "I obey the decree" because he was worried that his son would be involved. He wanted to plead for his son, but he still didn't dare to speak.
At this time, Han Xu said for the first time: "I obey the order!"
Then, several ministers from the Political Affairs Hall looked at Fang Congzhe, waiting for Fang Congzhe to draw up the decree.
Fang Congzhe picked up the pen with slightly trembling hands.
