It was a stormy day in the capital.
On the Jiangdong Road side, Xiao Chen still did not slow down the house confiscation.
But this time he didn't supervise it personally, but asked his cronies to lead the Xuanjia Guards to ransack the house.
That afternoon.
Xiao Chen was closing his eyes to rest, while Concubine Shu was rubbing his shoulders.
"Harder, harder!"
Xiao Chen waved his hand and said.
"knew!"
Concubine Shu had a soft look in her eyes and pressed hard.
At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded at the door, and the sound of an announcement came again.
"Lord Governor! I have something to report to you!"
When Xiao Chen heard that it was Xiang Yichun, his heart moved slightly, he opened his eyes again and said, "Come in!"
Xiang Yichun's face looked a little serious at this time. After kneeling down on one knee, he quickly reported: "Lord Governor, we ransacked the homes of three major families yesterday and this afternoon!"
"They are the Zhao family, the Sun family and the Gu family!"
"What's the reason?"
Xiao Chen naturally did not think that Xiang Yichun came to report the news just because of this. He then thought about it and remembered the Japanese tokens he had previously found from the Wang family: "Is it related to Japan?"
Xiang Yichun nodded deeply, raised his eyes, looked at Xiao Chen and said: "The Zhao family, the Sun family and the Gu family, the three great families all secretly hide some letters! And a large part of these letters are written in Japanese characters mixed with Dachu Written in words!”
"In addition, there are some specialties from Japan!"
"For example, there are no less than three Japanese knives you have seen before!"
There was a coldness in Xiao Chen's eyes: "Are you sure?"
Among the industries that the Wang family is involved in, maritime trade is one of them. It is understandable if the Wang family and Japanese people are a little bit obsessed with celebrating the New Year.
After all, when doing business at sea, you will encounter Japanese bandits from time to time.
It is possible to fight them and capture their swords.
However, the Zhao family, the Sun family and the Gu family are all related to Japan... This is not normal!
Are the three major families doing business overseas?
Xiang Yichun looked very determined and said almost without thinking: "That's it! I can confirm it!"
"Moreover, I was there during the house raid. I saw with my own eyes that Xuan Jiawei searched out the Japanese tokens and related letters!"
There was a coldness in Xiao Chen's eyes: "Okay! The major families in Jiangdong are really brave!"
"There is actually a connection with Japan!"
Xiao Chen was right.
It’s not entirely based on stereotypes from previous lives…
In this life, the overseas island country far away from Dachu, Japan, is also very unhuman!
Robbery of people in coastal areas happens all the time!
Moreover, they are cruel and violent, much crazier than ordinary bandits and thieves!
However, Xiao Chen couldn't jump to conclusions, he had to find out first.
After calming down for a while, he turned his attention to Xiang Yichun: "Xiang Yichun, I have something to tell you!"
Xiang Yichun said solemnly: "I am willing to die for the Lord Governor!"
Xiao Chen squinted his eyes and ordered: "Investigate this matter carefully and be sure to find out whether the major families from Jiangdong to Japan colluded with Japan! If they colluded, they must also find out whether it was normal business or something else. thing!"
"Yes! I will go check it out now!"
Xiang Yichun left quickly.
Two hours later.
Xiao Chen met Xiang Yichun again.
Xiang Yichun's face became very ugly, and his eyes were burning with anger: "Lord Governor, we have already investigated clearly!"
Xiao Chen looked at Xiang Yichun's face and almost guessed the situation: "Don't be impatient, tell me slowly, what's going on?"
Xiang Yichun took several deep breaths, his voice trembling: "The major families in Jiangdong Road are indeed cooperating with the Japanese Japanese pirates!"
"But what they did was outrageous!"
"They colluded with each other. Several aristocratic families leaked information, or directly disguised themselves as pirates, and robbed passing merchant ships with the Dongying Japanese pirates, and even poisoned the people in the coastal areas!"
Xiao Chen was stunned.
He also thought that the most important aristocratic families were engaged in smuggling...
As a result, he really overestimated the bottom line of each major family!
Xiao Chen was furious and almost shouted: "How can they have the face!"
Xiang Yichun gritted his teeth and said, "It's nothing more than a stupid move. Moreover, on the surface, the Wang family was not involved. In fact, it was probably the Wang family who secretly passed on the news when those seas suffered!"
The Wang family is a twenty-five-year-old boy, so he is really awesome!
Xiao Chen sneered: "Every penny they earn is the suffering and blood of the people!"
Xiang Yichun asked tentatively: "Then what should we do?"
Xiao Chen's voice was full of chilling meaning:
"Search my house, search it hard!"
"Don't leave any bricks or stones on the ground for them!"
With Xiao Chen's order, several major families suffered.
Even those who have copied it once have to copy it again.
The house they lived in was sealed, and even the clothes they wore were gathered up and they were given a few linen clothes.
At the same time, Xiao Chen also focused his search on all famous families in Jiangdong.
Especially those who have colluded with Japanese pirates, they are even more merciless!
That night.
During the day, Xiao Chen ransacked homes in full swing, while the big and small families in Jiangdong were complaining.
Especially, news came from the capital that there was nothing they could do to Xiao Chen for the time being.
Several major aristocratic families are even more worried.
In the end, the Sun family, the Zhao family, and the Fang family, the three major aristocratic families except the Zhou family and the Wang family, convened all the aristocratic families in Jiangdong for a secret night meeting.
Somewhere in another courtyard.
This villa is actually the place where a descendant of the Sun family raises his wife.
Perhaps it was because he had a fierce wife at home, and the man hid it so well that he was not seized...
This has also become a secret night chat place for major aristocratic families.
After a brief communication and confirmation of the situation.
The head of the Sun family, Sun Tiande, gritted his teeth and said, "The court refuses to recall Xiao Chen, and Mr. Jiang has not come back for a long time. If we do nothing, it will be like digging our own grave!"
"We have to find ways to get rid of Xiao Chen!"
Fang Minghao, the head of the Fang family, said in a cold voice: "We must get rid of the gelded dog no matter what the price!"
The heads of other major aristocratic families also echoed:
"That's right!"
"We must kill him!"
"If we don't kill him, we're doomed!"
"This child must not be kept!"
"..."
Everyone was talking about it.
Sun Tiande stretched out his hand again and pressed it down: "Okay, there is no use in shouting! We can only place our hope in Japan now!"
Everyone's eyes lit up and they nodded.
Sun Tiande sneered: "We are uniting together to send news to Japan, saying that if Xiao Chen knows the situation, he will take action against them..."
"Let them send troops directly into the city, and we will cooperate with the inside and outside to go straight to the other courtyard where Xiao Chen is!"
"When the time comes, the Xuanjia Guards will not be able to rush to help, and even a pile of people can kill him!"
"As for the responsibility...just put it all on Japan!"
