The Jinyiwei's power in Nanjing is naturally not comparable to that in the capital. Everyone knows this. Here in Nanjing, there are only two thousand-household offices, one of which is new this year. Over in the capital, not counting the leaders.
There are eight idlers who are paid by the Zhenfu Division, and there are only eight thousand-household residences with signs. Adding the North and South Zhenfu Divisions, there is no comparison at all!
Therefore, the term "raptor crossing the river" cannot be applied to Jin Yiwei in Nanjing. At best, it is just a local snake. If you talk about a fierce dragon, there will be a lot of local snakes.
What's more, if Jinyiwei is considered a local leader, Nanjing City can be considered a local leader. If you count on your fingers, there are really one or two like that.
This is what Mr. Xu thinks, so he has the evaluation of "nothing more than that".
He still has one last trump card, but he won't play it until the last moment.
Of course Qian Wubing didn't know what countermeasures the Xu family had, but when it came time to send someone to watch them, he still didn't hesitate to use the manpower to keep an eye on them, especially the Xu family's frivolous wealth. He didn't want to waste it when the time came.
After all this hard work, someone secretly moved them away under their noses. Killing chickens to scare monkeys is a good method, but I haven’t heard of anyone giving away the killed chickens. This chicken is used to make soup.
, remove the bones and cook it, it has many uses!
This was a bad problem he brought about when he confiscated Liu Jin's house. When he confiscated Liu Jin's house, the excess gold and silver property was such that even Zhu Houzhao swallowed his saliva for a long time when he saw the list. Liu Jin's family property was enough
It is equivalent to the income of the Ming Dynasty in ten years. Of course, except for a small part of the money that has been put into the internal treasury, most of it has been put into the Ministry of Household Affairs. If nothing else, Zhu Houzhao is waiting for the Tatars outside the border with red eyes.
Zhu Houzhao is here to harass the Ming Dynasty! Now that he has money in his hands, he wants to use troops. Zhu Houzhao is not ambiguous at all.
Of course, the Xu family is not comparable to Liu Jin, but this is a millionaire. Everyone in this family has been here for generations, and there is always something. If the Xu family is wise, they can let them shed some blood, and they will be safe from now on.
Even if Qian Wubing doesn't let them go, he can scare other monkeys. Isn't the key to whether the slaughtered chicken will die or not lies in the hands of the person holding the handle of the knife? Of course,
If the Xu family is ignorant, Qian Wubing won't mind knocking them into the dust. New officials are always full of enthusiasm when they take office. After all, I am also the acting commander of the Jin Yiwei. No one is offering sacrifices to the flag, which seems a bit shabby.
What surprised him was that in this matter, Zhu Yunniang's father, his future father-in-law, was the one who had the most fun. Not only was he helping his daughter make suggestions, but he was also in Nanjing on behalf of the prince.
The poor manpower was used without hesitation. Qian Wubing was still wondering about this matter, until Wang Yue revealed the secret: Fortunately, this old guy's surname is Zhu. If he was born in an ordinary people's family, he might be.
A hero who robbed the rich and gave to the poor!
This prince can still hate the rich!? Qian Wubing laughed dumbly. Such a weird thing is probably the only one in the clan that has no semicolon!
"Will Beijing react to this matter? If it really involves such a big deal, these businessmen in Jiangnan still have people in Beijing who can speak for them!"
In the small study room, Zhu Yunniang sat gently on Qian Wubing, while looking at the almost mountain of official documents and files on the desk, muttering, even if she spoke softly, she gently hugged Qian Wubing
I'm not sick, everything I heard is true.
The unique light fragrance of a girl on his nose, and the restless body twisting and turning on his legs, Qian Wubing was a little worried. He had just spent a lot of effort to coax the shy Zhu Yunniang to sit on his
On his lap, he read these official documents for himself. Unexpectedly, in the end, he was the one who suffered. The girl was untouched, and he couldn't restrain his instinctive reaction.
"Ahem! Your father's intention is to either not move. Since he has moved, he must be more ruthless. At least for a short period of time, these families who only recognize money will not dare to have second thoughts. The label of 'rebellion' is too real.
It's a bit too big, if it were really put on the Xu family's head, the Xu family would be uprooted, this... seems to be a bit harmful to Tianhe!"
"Even if you don't drive out the Xu family, won't they feel your affection and not fight back?" Zhu Yunniang shook her neck: "You underestimate these big families that have been inherited for hundreds of years. Do you think those in the court
Where do all the self-proclaimed civil servants come from?"
Zhu Yunniang felt that it was necessary to educate this guy from a grassroots background. He could reach his current position all the way. Apart from his own little ability, the rest almost all depended on his unlucky luck. Even a lot of it.
He turned a blind eye to things that most officials knew about.
"I have just killed Liu Jin, who is said to be the most killable person in the world, and now the notorious Qian Wubing will come out. When the time comes, the government and the public will be shouting for death. How will the emperor make a decision? How will you deal with yourself? I'm afraid the time has come.
If you don’t want to be with Jianchang Bo at that time, I’m afraid it won’t be up to you!”
"I don't believe they can still turn the world upside down?" Qian Wubing snorted.
"They can really cause such a big disturbance!" Zhu Yunniang put down the documents in her hands, turned around, and said seriously: "The people in this world don't know what is right or wrong. What they know are those who play with pens.
Tell them, but the literati have no skills, a small amount of money can buy them, not to mention, these big families themselves have children, relatives, and old friends who are in this business. It is really they who mobilized and criticized them with words and writings.
I'm afraid you really feel uncomfortable! Even if there is a small situation in Tamsui now, Dongfan is a place that the imperial court has abandoned, so we are not afraid of chaos there. If the imperial court intends to deal with you, there is no need to be afraid of you!"
"So, what my father said is right, either he will not move, or he will drive out the whole family with lightning speed, so that other people will stay away and dare not make mistakes. With this example in front of them, even if they make trouble, they still have to do it.
Think about it, is it worth it?"
"This is too much!" Qian Wubing did not expect that the seemingly innocent Zhu Yunniang also thought the same: "There must be someone in the Xu family who must be killed, but there are also many innocent people!"
"Then we can only blame them for their bad fate. They were born in the wrong fetus!" Zhu Yunniang's eyes dimmed for a moment, and then she raised her eyebrows: "It's just an allusion to kill one person to save ten people. If you can really kill a whole family and organize the sea trade,
, clearing the sea frontier and bringing a golden mountain and silver sea to the imperial court, their family can be regarded as a worthy death! Keep going, those who will die in the future may not be just this few people. Do you want to see our fleet on land in the future?
It’s hard to get in even a small amount of goods, so are we enemies everywhere on the sea?”
"Do you really want to take action?"
"Yes, we have to take action before the capital reacts. I'm sure that even the Wang family and the Jiang family, who seem to be willing to surrender, are secretly collaborating with others at the moment. In their eyes, they
They are the masters here and the masters of the sea, and we are just here to compete for their territory!"
She straightened the clothes on Qian Wubing's chest: "You are a Jinyiwei. No matter how ruthless a Jinyiwei is, no one in the world will find it strange. Therefore, you don't have to worry about your reputation at all. If the emperor's brother cannot tolerate you,
The imperial court can't tolerate you, so let's just stop being this Jin Yiwei. You have to know that if the Xu family is not eliminated, how can you realize your ambition to dominate the world and show off your power? The person that Zhu Yunniang likes is not a fearful person.
A man who is too afraid to speak out and kill!"
…
On the eighth day of November, while Ying Tianfu officials were collecting taxes at a farm outside Nanjing, they were attacked.
Yingtianfu's government officials quickly dispatched to surround the farm and arrest the culprits. The people in the farm resisted stubbornly. Yingtianfu's government officials were unable to attack for a long time and had to ask for help from the Nanjing War Department. In the evening of the same day, more than one hundred government officials and five hundred Nanjing garrison troops
The remaining men captured the farm, killed and wounded many of the bandits, and seized a batch of ordnance.
Then, during the search of the farm, a shocking discovery was made. A large number of scriptures, documents, Buddha statues and other objects of the White Lotus Sect were found in the farm. The thieves captured after torture shocked the whole city of Nanjing, and no one was there.
Unexpectedly, just a few steps away from the city of Nanjing, there was actually a large-scale branch of the White Lotus Sect rebels.
The Nanjing Zhenfu Division intervened without hesitation. Since it was a major rebellion, it was only natural for the Jinyiwei to participate in the investigation. It happened that the Jinyiwei and the commander Qian Wubing were stationed in Nanjing, and the matter was passed by the guarding eunuchs Wang Yue and Wei Guogong.
Following the instructions from others, everyone in Nanjing cooperated with Jinyiwei to investigate such a major case.
On the ninth day of November, the manager of the farm, the true identity of a certain steward of the Xu family in Nanjing was verified by the Jin Yiwei. This person was a White Lotus sect rebel who had been hunted by the court for many years.
On the afternoon of the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, the old residence of the Xu family in Nanjing was surrounded by Jin Yiwei. Everyone in the Xu family in the old house was guarded in their own house, waiting for the Jin Yiwei to summon them for screening.
On the tenth day of the lunar month, someone among the descendants of the Xu family confessed that the Xu family had always been the financial provider of the White Lotus Sect in Nanzhili. There were even members of the White Lotus Sect in many of the Xu family's shops, and the Xu family relied on their various branches in Jiangnan.
They went to every shop and continuously provided silver, medicinal materials, even weapons and other prohibited items to the White Lotus Sect.
At noon on the 11th day of November, all the stores of the Xu family were sealed by the city's officers and soldiers and guards. The Xu family members who were detained in the Xu family's old house were also escorted out of the house and sent to prison. At this moment, screening was no longer necessary.
There were more than two hundred members of the Xu family, and the charge of "collaborating with thieves" was fully confirmed. On that day, the Nanjing Zhenfu Division and the Ministry of War had already guarded the eunuch's yamen, and at the same time, they issued a document to the southern states of Zhili, ordering the local officials or the Jinyi Guards to seize Xu.
The Xu family’s local shops and properties were arrested, and the Xu family’s local people were apprehended.
Within a few days, the once prosperous Xu family was about to become a thing of the past.
