Luo Xiangjing ignored Shen Rufang and only gave instructions to his officers and soldiers at this time.
"Capture them all!"
"All property is confiscated!"
At this time, after Luo Xiangjing gave several orders, all the officers and soldiers rushed into the inner courtyard of the Shen family and guarded the gates with open guns and knives.
At the same time, some officers and soldiers arrested Shen Ruliang and others.
"What are you doing? I will serve as a doctor!"
"Let me go, you Wu Bian, you can't treat me like this!"
"It hurts! Can't you please be gentle?!"
When these children of the wealthy Shen family were arrested, they all had different reactions. Some were emotional and naturally got beaten up, while others were so frightened that they cried.
All of a sudden, hundreds of Shen family members were driven into the prison van.
At the same time, all the Shen family's belongings began to be confiscated.
Shen Ruliang, with messy hair, burst into tears after watching all his family's property being carried out in the prison car:
"My Shen family's long-standing family fortune! It's a pity that it has all been transferred to the government now! Woohoo!"
No coincidence.
Other wealthy coastal families who participated in colluding with the Western Yi and smuggling also had their homes confiscated one after another, and their slaves were also taken away one after another.
These wealthy families, like the Shen family, are very bold in plotting behind the scenes, but when it comes to making a white knife in and a red knife out, they all hesitate and waver. They are either reluctant to part with their real estate and shops, or they are afraid of other risks. , but he forgot that he was in a desperate situation and should not spare his life, and he did not expect to divide the land among the slave tenants, so that the slave tenants would fight to the death for their masters to protect their land.
As a result, the homes of many wealthy families were ransacked by the imperial officers and soldiers according to the plans, and all the people were detained and imprisoned.
Even if there is a very individual resistance, thousands or even tens of thousands of tribesmen gather to resist bravely, just like fighting for water conservancy and mining resources, because they cannot form a joint force, they are eventually easily defeated by the elites led by Qi Jimei, and then they are massacred. Again.
in addition.
Because of Li Wenhe's revelation, a group of criminals suspected of burning military rations were also arrested one after another, including the Jin Yiwei and the ration officials who had been bribed to smuggle together in Penghu.
These people are ungrateful.
The reason why there is no profit is because these people, like Shen Ruliang and others, are taking chances or indecisive.
They thought that the court might not pursue them too closely because of their large numbers, and they also thought that they still had time to deal with it.
This is equivalent to everyone knowing that the crisis is coming, but no one expected that the crisis would appear so soon.
Shen Ruliang and Li Fei, a wealthy businessman in Penghu, who participated in the burning of military rations, met again on the execution ground.
When Li Fei saw Shen Ruliang, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You, Shen Jiaguang, have thousands of private servants, so why don't you escape? You will have to end up being cut to pieces by a thousand cuts, and the nine clans will not be saved."
"You are the same, Li Jiaguang has hundreds of private ships, why don't you escape?!"
Shen Ruliang asked loudly.
Li Fei looked at the people around him who were throwing rotten vegetable leaves at him, and said: "It's not because the feng shui of this land is so good. Even if I die, I just want to die here and don't want to leave!"
"That's right!"
"Perhaps Chen Lin thought so too, so he didn't do it in the end."
Shen Ruliang replied loudly.
Li Fei smiled and suddenly said: "He won't live long!"
Shen Ruliang asked: "What do you mean by this?"
Li Fei didn't answer because his cage had been pulled to the front.
…
And on this day, the city of Manila, Luzon Island.
It was a clear sky.
The sky is as blue as the sea.
In the morning of this day, Weng Yuanbo and Chen Lin were riding their horses towards the newly built statue and monument to commemorate their achievements, intending to take a look at the two projects that the local natives had been ordered to build.
When Chen Lin walked towards here, there were two officials behind him talking in a low voice.
"Are you really going to take action later?"
Among them, a sentry named Zuo Hongzu asked another guard named Shang Liangdong.
Shang Liangdong said: "We are what we are today thanks to the master's raising us. The master wants us to keep an eye on Chen Lin secretly. If Chen Lin really hides the truth and prevents the battle in Luzon from going according to the master's wishes, we will kill him." Now Chen Lin obviously did not follow the master’s wishes. If we are greedy for wealth and do not kill him, we will be sorry for the master and ungrateful!”
Zuo Hongzu nodded: "My master must have done this to teach these people who betrayed the wealthy family a lesson and let them know the consequences of betraying the wealthy family."
Zuo Hongzu nodded: "My master must have done this to teach these people who betrayed the wealthy family a lesson and let them know the consequences of betraying the wealthy family."
"That's right!"
"I really don't understand why Chen Lin dares to betray the wealthy family! Doesn't he know that he would rather offend the court than offend the wealthy family?"
Shang Liangdong followed, and then said: "When he passes by later, immediately take a matchlock and shoot him in the back. You shoot first, and then I will shoot again after attracting everyone's attention to you!"
Zuo Hongzu nodded.
"Chen Lin! If you dare to offend a wealthy family, you should know that you will be where you are today!"
Suddenly, a loud shout appeared in front of Chen Lin.
At the same time, an arrow shot from the string toward Chen Lin's neck.
But Chen Lin had a neck to protect her.
However, the arrow did not hit the target, but was missed.
Chen Lin, who was riding on the horse, was still intact.
"There's an assassin!"
When Chen Maoxiu saw this, he immediately shouted, feeling extremely nervous.
Soon, the Chen family's servants pinned the man who shot the bow and arrow to the ground on the spot.
Chen Lin also dismounted and was surrounded by his own soldiers.
Zuo Hongzu and Shang Liangdong were shocked when they saw this.
They didn't expect that there were other assassins who were ordered to assassinate Chen Lin!
"How is this going?"
Zuo Hongzu couldn't help but ask Shang Liangdong.
Shang Liangdong said solemnly: "It's over, the assassination failed!"
Zuo Hongzu said: "Then what should we do?"
"Kill that assassin!"
Shang Liangdong said.
Zuo Hongzu said: "Why kill?"
Shang Liangdong said: "If he is a fake assassin, then he will directly confess that he is an assassin sent by the wealthy family, which will give the court an opportunity to further discredit the gentleman, and then allow the court to further crack down on and restrict the wealthy family. Reason! It makes the common people think that wealthy people are more despicable than bureaucrats and fatuous kings, and the people’s wisdom becomes even more enlightened!"
"You know, according to the master's wishes, it is difficult for us to assassinate Chen Lin. No matter whether we take a bow and shoot an arrow or light a fire blunderbuss, it is impossible to kill Chen Lin in time before the soldiers around Chen Lin can react. Lin, and the reason why we still want to assassinate him is to give a shock to those who betray the wealthy families in the world!"
"That's why the master asked us to commit suicide by swallowing poison no matter what the outcome of the assassination! This way, the imperial court cannot use us to tell the world that there are wealthy people who want to kill the admiral!"
"Therefore, if this assassin is a fake assassin and is a tool used by the court to further exaggerate the crimes of the wealthy family, then he must be killed immediately!"
Shang Liangdong said at this time.
Zuo Hongzu said in frustration at this time: "It's useless to kill. If they could think of using a fake assassin to do this, wouldn't they think of finding a few more fake assassins?"
Shang Liangdong was also very depressed after hearing this, so he remained silent for a long time.
After a while, Shang Liangdong suddenly fell to the ground and vomited blood.
Zuo Hongzu was shocked when he saw this, and immediately understood that Shang Liangdong had committed suicide by biting a poisonous pill.
And he himself immediately took a bite of the poisonous pill and fell to the ground.
Shang Liangdong's fall to the ground has aroused the attention of the surrounding officers and schools. Some officers and schools were busy helping Shang Liangdong up, but they were even more shocked when they saw Zuo Hongzu also fell to the ground.
Soon, Chen Lin also found out about this.
"They've been muttering?"
Chen Lin also asked about the presence of General Zang Yuanxi, who belonged to the same battalion around Shang Liangdong and Zuo Hongzu.
Zang Yuanxi said: "Yes, but who would have expected that after a while, they fell to the ground, vomiting blood, and there were still medicine residues in their mouths, as if they had taken poison."
"It looks like he was an assassin who had to commit suicide after seeing his defeat."
Chen Maoxiu said something to Chen Lin at this time.
Chen Lin chuckled: "Guizhou donkeys are so incompetent, I knew that these were the only methods they could do, so I asked you to choose a dead soldier in the house to pretend to be an assassin! However, even if they kill me, Chen Lin, they can only scare the cowards." If a person who is afraid of death really meets someone with great ambitions, this method will not help!"
As Chen Lin spoke, she said to Chen Maoxiu: "So, you must remember not to imitate these people in the future and use such despicable and dark methods. This method cannot reverse the general trend, and will only cause endless troubles and backfire on you!"
