Chapter 201 Heads Rolling Again 【Order】
Chapter 201 Heads Rolling Again 【Order】
This sudden change only made a group of county school students dumbfounded. What did they see?
The heads of Song Guangsheng and Tan Yuan flew high, and the headless corpse stood there, a stream of blood gushed out, and there was only blood red in front of them.
The county scholars who have not yet reacted are rushing forward with their heads buried, shouting in their mouths: "I tied Li Huan to the official, and I must give us an explanation..."
It's just that the bloody scene at the next moment made these county school students widen their eyes and close their mouths, as if they were tapped on the acupuncture points and frozen there.
Xie Qian, Xie Di, and the few scholars who had escaped from the pile of dead people by the side all had such expressions on their faces when they saw this scene.
They had already experienced such a scene before, when they saw people like Song Guangsheng and Tan Yuan blocking Li Huan on the long street, they secretly guessed how Li Huan would deal with these people.
It's just that he didn't expect that Li Huan didn't pay attention to these people's intentions at all, and just ran into them with his horse.
From Xie Qian's point of view, Li Huan had already shown some mercy to Song Guangsheng and others. Otherwise, with Li Huan's temperament, it would be strange if he said he didn't kill most of the scholars who blocked the way.
Originally, if these people said they would just disperse, they would have escaped a catastrophe, but who would have thought that these people are so ill-informed that there is no news that Li Huan killed so many scholars in Muzhai Academy? Got it, and bumped it head on.
He was so naive as to threaten Li Huan with the crowd, and even wanted to tie Li Huan to see the official.
If Li Huan really followed their example, wouldn't those scholars who were slaughtered by Li Huan before all die in vain?
Seeing Song Guangsheng shouting to tie up Li Huan, Xie Qian and the others guessed what would happen to these people.
Sure enough, Li Huan did not disappoint them, he did not spoil these people at all, he cut off the heads of Song Guangsheng and Tan Yuan very cleanly and neatly.
Xie Qian, Xie Di, and the few surviving scholars didn't know what they were thinking, but they didn't remind Song Guangsheng, Xie Di and the others.
But looking at Song Guangsheng's posture, I'm afraid Xie Qian may not be able to stop him even if he speaks.
Of course, the gloomy psychology of Xie Qian and others cannot be ruled out. They are all so miserable, why can't others be as miserable as them.
In other words, Xie Qian and Xie Di thought in their hearts that as long as Li Huan dared to kill people, the more people he killed, the worse Li Huan's reputation would be, and the more he would be hated by scholars all over the world.
When the literati's hatred towards Li Huan accumulates to a certain level, it will explode. At that time, Li Huan's end must be very miserable.
Even Xie Di, whose eyes were full of dead silence, laughed wildly at this moment and said: "Kill, kill them all!"
Ren Zheng, who had been by Song Guangsheng's side all the time, was carrying the body of his good friend Sun Qiping before, and his heart was full of hatred for Li Huan.
Especially after Li Huan broke their minds, Ren Zheng asked himself, the fundamental purpose of their studies is really not to govern the country and serve the king, but to think about how to rely on the various preferential treatment given to them by the court, how to give their families seek greater benefits.
As long as they raise people in high school, they don't have to pay taxes and can accept donations from the people, even if they know that in this way, the court will inevitably collect a lot less tax.
But what does this have to do with them? If the country's tax revenue is less, it is a matter for the court and the emperor to consider. As long as they have enough interests, it is enough.
No one has ever revealed the darkest and most selfish side of their hearts in front of them. They are scholars who want face.
Li Huan directly stabbed them in the heart with a knife, he just pointed at their faces and scolded them all as cystworms lying on Daming's body and sucking blood.
So Ren Zheng followed Song Guangsheng and rushed to the front, the hatred in his eyes couldn't be more obvious, he wished he could rush forward and strangle Li Huan to death.
For a traitor like Li Huan, it is better to die.
It's just that Ren Zheng felt a blur in front of his eyes, and blood rushed to his face.
The scorching hot blood with a bit of saltiness poured on his head and face, Ren Zheng subconsciously wiped it on his face, and when he looked down, he let out a scream.
"Blood!"
Especially with a glance, Song Guangsheng, who was right in front of him, had lost his head, and the headless corpse was spurting out blood, just standing in front of him.
When such a terrifying scene came into view, Ren Zheng's face immediately turned pale, and his eyes were full of horror.
His legs trembled, the crotch was warm, and the ground was wet in the blink of an eye, and he was so frightened that he peed on his pants.
On the side of Renzheng is Lei Ming who was afraid before.
Lei Ming was dubious about the words of those scholars who escaped from Muzhai Academy. According to his temperament, he definitely didn't want to take the risk of making trouble for Li Huan.
But Song Guangsheng's scolding, and the strange eyes of all the students made Lei Ming summon up the courage to follow, and in order to prove that he was really not afraid, he deliberately walked in the front.
Similarly, Lei Ming also saw the scene where Song Guangsheng's head was cut off, and his head exploded with a buzzing, bright red in front of his eyes.
In a daze, Lei Ming only felt that something fell into his arms. Lei Ming subconsciously hugged the thing in his arms, and instinctively wiped it away.
"Why does this look so much like a human head..."
Feeling the sense of touch from his hands, nose, mouth, ears and the fluffy hair, Lei Ming looked at the headless corpse in front of him, inexplicably filled with infinite fear in his heart, and subconsciously looked down.
When he took a look, he happened to see a bloody head in his arms, if it wasn't Song Guangsheng's head, what else.
And at this time Song Guangsheng's head was facing him, his eyes were wide open, and there was still some disbelief left. Obviously, at the moment Song Guangsheng's head was chopped off, Song Guangsheng didn't believe that Li Huan would attack him.
At a glance, he met Song Guangsheng's bloody head, and Lei Ming was so frightened that he threw Song Guangsheng's head out of his mouth almost like a conditioned reflex, and let out a scream.
Song Guangsheng's head was thrown out by Thunder, and flew several feet away. After landing, it rolled a few times and stopped on the ground.
The people around were looking at Song Guangsheng, Tan Yuan and the others leading a group of students from the county school, walking towards Li Huan with arrogance and arrogance, shouting to tie Li Huan to the official.
Even people with good deeds shouted in the crowd to cheer for Song Guangsheng and Tan Yuan.
However, the next moment, all the people were dumbfounded. The heads of Song Guangsheng and Tan Yuan were cut off like that. That scene was really exciting.
Faces full of astonishment and fear froze, just looking at Li Huan in brocade and flying fish costumes so stupidly, it seemed that he couldn't believe that it was such a noble young man who said he would kill if he said that he would kill him, and he would kill him in a blink of an eye. Cut off other people's heads.
When Song Guangsheng's head was thrown out by Lei Ming, and it just rolled in front of these ordinary people who were hiding not far away to watch the excitement, especially when Song Guangsheng stared at them with a dead face, he finally became timid. The people screamed in fright, turned around and fled.
In the blink of an eye, these people scattered like birds and beasts. It was only a dozen or so breaths of effort, but they ran away cleanly, leaving only a mess on the ground.
Shoes, hats, even clothes, and a few unlucky ghosts who were trampled to the ground are now enduring the severe pain in their bodies and trying to crawl towards the corner.
All these happened in the time of a dozen or so breaths.
When Li Huan put away the knife, the Xiuchun knife, which was still stained with blood, was thrown to Chen Yao by Li Huan.
Chen Yao took the blood-stained Xiuchun Knife, glanced ferociously at those county school students who were trembling with fright and were at a loss, and then said to Li Huan, "My lord, what should we do with these people."
The guards around Jinyi stared at these quail-like scholars one by one, and some even squatted on the ground in fright, crying for their father and mother.
Li Huan glanced over these students, and being stared at by Li Huan, these students finally collapsed.
The gazes of Jin Yiwei around were scary enough, but they were not as scary as Li Huan's indifferent gaze.
One must know that Li Huan chopped off the heads of Song Guangsheng, Tan Yuan and the others without blinking an eye. At this moment, in the minds of all the students, Li Huan's reputation as a murderous maniac has been confirmed.
With a plop, Lei Ming was the closest to Li Huan, and noticed the murderous intent in Li Huan's eyes, Lei Ming knelt down directly, ignoring the pain in his knee, and then kowtowed to Li Huan: "My lord, please forgive me! The students are forced, they are all forcing the students to come, woo woo woo, the students didn't want to come..."
Seeing this, Li Huan couldn't help but glanced at Lei Ming, his eyes were full of disgust, such a soft-boned, without a bit of assertiveness, was the most hateful.
We must know that many times, the really bad things are these people who have no opinion at all. They often do what others say, and when there is something, they say hello.
It can be said that this type of people is the most numerous in the world, and it is also the most pitiful and hateful group of people.
Ren Zheng was so frightened that he peed his pants, and now he was paralyzed on the ground. Beside him was the corpse of his best friend Sun Qiping. He just sat on the ground in a daze, muttering something. Scared out of the general.
Seeing Lei Ming's reaction, almost half of the students fell to their knees and kowtowed begging for mercy, shouting that they were also forced.
Li Huan watched these people's reactions with a mocking look on his lips.
Finally, he let out a long sigh: "My Ming Dynasty has raised a group of loyal people like you for hundreds of years? What's the use of keeping you?"
While speaking, Li Huan's eyes were cold, as if a voice from Nine Nether Hell sounded: "Kill!"
Already holding the embroidered spring knife, all the guards in brocade clothes impatiently showed ferocious expressions when they heard the words.
They are very good at killing people, especially killing those scholars whose eyes are higher than the top on weekdays, and they usually look sideways at him.
The reputation of their Jinyiwei was given by defeating these people. Over the past hundred years, it has become synonymous with all kinds of evil. Everyone mentions Jinyiwei, from the dignitaries to the common people, and almost no one has a good word to say.
But they were only doing business for the emperor, and they arrested high-ranking officials, powerful officials, corrupt officials, and never harmed the common people.
It is understandable for corrupt officials to scold them, but the people who have never been harmed scold them the most, not because of these scholars, but because of whom.
So Jin Yiwei disliked these scholars the most.
Chen Yao shouted: "Follow me!"
I saw a strong figure named Jin Yiwei swinging a knife and rushing towards these students who had come here to trouble them with arrogance not long ago.
Originally sitting next to Sun Qiping's body, Ren Zheng, who was dumbfounded like crazy, jumped up from the ground when he heard Li Huan's murderous words, and then ran towards the distance at an astonishing speed. The speed and agility were beyond everyone's expectations. Even the students of Ren Zheng were stunned when they saw Ren Zheng who was the first to escape.
When they saw Ren Zheng's appearance earlier, they thought that Ren Zheng was frightened crazy, but they didn't expect that the other party was pretending and reacting so quickly, you fucking ran away, what should we do.
"Escape!"
Someone yelled, turned and ran.
Jin Yiwei looked at these students ferociously, some were running fast, while others were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, begging endlessly.
It's a pity that Jin Yiwei has already seen too many scenes like this begging for mercy. Every time the house is ransacked, the family members of those powerful families don't beg for mercy too much.
The hand raised the knife and fell, and the heads fell to the ground one by one.
Ren Zheng, who was running in the front, became more and more nervous when he heard the screams coming from behind him. At this moment, Ren Zheng only hated his legs for running too slowly.
Chen Yao's eyes naturally fell on Ren Zheng. It was Ren Zheng who rushed to the front, and after Song Guangsheng and Tan Yuan were killed, he seemed to be insane.
Seeing Ren Zheng running so fast, Chen Yao sneered disdainfully. If Ren Zheng was allowed to escape like this, wouldn't they, Jin Yiwei, all become trash.
Seeing Chen Yao leaping, he caught up with Ren Zheng after a few ups and downs.
When Ren Zhengzheng was secretly glad that he was running fast enough, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Looking sideways, Chen Yao was smiling at him.
The next moment Ren Zheng saw a saber light falling towards him.
"Forgive me..."
It's a pity that Chen Yao chopped off Ren Zheng's head before he finished speaking.
Soon Chen Yao and other Jin Yiwei rushed back, within a radius of tens of feet, dozens of corpses fell to the ground, blood sprayed everywhere.
There was blood in front of the gate of Xie's house.
Seeing the scene of those students being chased and killed, the people who had been hiding in the dark shrank their heads back in fright, fearing that Jin Yiwei would stare at them and kill them.
"My lord, none of them escaped."
Li Huan nodded slightly.
In the Xie mansion, Xie Ming and the direct descendants of the Xie family hid in the mansion one by one after Xie Zhong was killed, and did not dare to step out of the mansion, for fear of following in Xie Zhong's footsteps.
When Li Huan brought Xie Qian, Xie Di and others to Xie's mansion, Xie Ming and others saw Xie Qian and the others immediately.
It's a pity that looking at Xie Qian and Xie Di outside the mansion gate, and then looking at Xie Zhong's body, no one dared to step out of the mansion gate to see Xie Qian.
When Xie Ming was brave enough to speak out, Song Guangsheng and Tan Yuan led a group of scholars to attract his attention.
Xie Ming and others are no strangers to Song Guangsheng, Tan Yuan and others. After all, as a county teacher, even the Xie family has children who study in the county school.
I thought that the arrival of Song Guangsheng, Tan Yuan and others would bring hope to the Xie family, but when everyone in the Xie family watched Song Guangsheng and Tan Yuan being massacred under Li Huan's order, everyone in the Xie family Endless despair and chills rose in my heart.
Some people even fell to the ground in fright and burst into tears.
They had heard Li Huan's conversation with Xie Qian earlier, the Xie family was guilty of treason, a serious crime to exterminate the nine clans.
Li Huan dared to kill even so many scholars, let alone them.
The wailing sound from Xie Mansion attracted the attention of the crowd.
Li Huan looked at the reactions of those relatives in the Xie Mansion, with a smile on his lips, and turned his eyes to Xie Qian and said, "Master Xie, seeing this scene, I don't know how you feel in your heart?"
Xie Qian's ears were filled with the sound of his children's wailing, and he was very irritable. Hearing Li Huan's sarcasm, he couldn't help but sneered at Li Huan and said, "I only regret not being able to kill that stupid king. Except for traitors like you."
Xie Di on the side couldn't help but change his face when he heard the words and exclaimed: "Brother..."
Xie Qian glared at Xie Di and said, "Anyway, it's a capital crime, so there's nothing else we can't say."
Saying that, Xie Qian stared at Li Huan and said, "I just wish I didn't expect that Li Huan, a traitor, would receive the news so quickly and break into the palace to save the emperor. Otherwise, the old man would definitely let people end up earlier took the life of the Son of Heaven."
Just like what Xie Qian said, the emperor was in a coma for so long, even Zhang Yong, who was serving the emperor, Zheng Chen from the imperial hospital, and others colluded with Xie Qian. If Xie Qian didn't want to wait for the emperor himself If you die, there are plenty of opportunities to kill the emperor.
Everything was in Xie Qian's expectation, but it's a pity that even Xie Qian didn't expect that Li Huan was like falling from the sky, and he didn't give them a chance to react, and went directly to the imperial city to rescue the emperor.
Li Huan glanced at Xie Qian and said: "God sees that you have done too much evil, so I don't allow you to do what you want. Your Majesty is a lucky man, and today I will liquidate your Xie family."
Xie Qian laughed out loud, ignored Li Huan, and shouted angrily at Xie Ming and other Xie family's children: "Why are you crying, isn't it just death..."
Li Huan cast his eyes on the huge Xie Mansion, a cold look flashed in his eyes and said: "Let the brothers ransack the house!"
Immediately a piece of Jin Yiwei rushed into Xie's mansion, and there was a burst of chaos in Xie's mansion, with escaped servants and relatives of Xie's family everywhere.
"Everyone fought with them!"
I don't know who yelled, and I saw several Xie family's children knowing that they would die, but they had the courage to rush towards the Jinyiwei who ransacked their homes.
It's a pity that these people didn't have any resistance in front of Jin Yiwei, and they were chopped to death on the spot before they could get close.
In the huge Xie family, there may be dozens or even hundreds of relatives, including at least 30 to [-] males, but there are only a few who really have the courage to dare to fight to the death.
Looking at the nephews killed by Jin Yiwei, Xie Qian laughed loudly and said, "Okay, okay, you are indeed my Xie family's children."
Looking at this scene, Chen Yao whispered: "My lord, this Xie Qian is probably crazy! He really is not afraid of death at all."
Li Huan said calmly: "He's not crazy, he's deliberately trying to be something we can see. If he's really not afraid of death, he might have committed suicide a long time ago like Fei Hong."
Chen Yao couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, and glanced at the mad-looking Xie Qian, with a bit of disdain in his eyes.
Yes, it was true that they had arrested Xie Qian, but if Xie Qian really wanted to commit suicide, there were plenty of ways, but Xie Qian had no intention of seeking death at all.
"This old thing doesn't have any calculations, does it?"
Li Huan chuckled lightly and said, "No matter what kind of calculations there are, the Xie family is finished."
As a large number of brocade guards picked up the relative locks of Xie's family, a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry were looted.
As Xie Ming and other core disciples of the Xie family couldn't resist the torture of Jin Yiwei, they confessed where the treasures of the Xie family were hidden, and boxes of gold, silver and jewels were carried out.
Soon the yard was filled with all kinds of confiscated property, roughly estimated to be as many as one million taels.
This is just a simple copy of the property. The Xie family has been in Yuyao for decades, and Xie Qian, the elder of the pavilion, will eventually be able to find more gold and silver properties than the Fei family.
You must know that Cai Wen, in order to get through Xie Qian's channel, was transferred from Fujian to the capital, and gave Xie Qian money several times.
It doesn't take too many officials like Cai Wen to bribe Xie Qian, only a dozen or so people are needed, probably not less than a million taels.
At this moment, Chen Yao excitedly ran over to Li Huan and said, "My lord, Xie Di has recruited. It's a big silver cellar. I'll go down and have a look in person. I'm afraid it's not less than two or three million taels."
Hearing this, Li Huan couldn't help but glanced at Xie Qian who was in shackles and said, "Master Xie, the late emperor treated you well. Is this how you repay the late emperor?"
Xie Qian just snorted coldly when he heard the words, and sneered at Li Huan: "Li Huan, you are just laughing at fifty steps and laughing at a hundred steps. You should get it, Li Huan, dare you say that you didn't put money in your house?"
When Li Huan heard this, it was as if he had heard some big joke.
According to Xie Qian's theory, he should go to his own house to collect money when he assists the emperor. In his view, corruption and bribery are a matter of course.
I'm afraid that among the money, I don't know how much of it is the people's fat and people's anointing that Xie Qian used his power to scoop up.
Li Huan even remembered that when Xie Qian was an old man, he was the secretary of the household department. With Xie Qian's disposition, he was in charge of such a money bag as the treasury. If he didn't stretch out his hand, he would not be Xie Qian.
Li Huan gave Xie Qian a disdainful look and said: "Although Li loves money, he gets it in a proper way. What money can and cannot be taken, but Li knows better than Mr. Xie."
Li Huan has never shy away from this point, even his subordinates, Li Huan is not hesitant to offer rewards, but as Li Huan said, he will not do such things that violate his conscience.
Just like those Jinyiwei, no matter how tight their financial situation is, few people would exploit the people.
Therefore, most of the Jinyiwei used to exploit some merchants in the market, but now this kind of behavior is under Li Huan's restraint, and it rarely happens.
Xie Qian laughed loudly and said, "So what, what is meant by what should be taken and what should be said should not be taken. As long as you take it, it is corruption and perverting the law."
Li Huan nodded and said: "Lord Xie is right. Li is indeed corrupt and corrupt. I dare to act bravely. Even His Majesty knows what money Li took. Li is not afraid of anyone knowing, but Mr. Xie, do you dare?" ?”
Li Huan himself ransacked his house several times, and he gained a lot of benefits from his handling. For this reason, Zhu Houzhao once teased Li Huan. How much to skyrocket.
It can be said that from the beginning to the end, Li Huan put the things that benefited him in front of the emperor, and Zhu Houzhao was very clear about the things that benefited Li Huan.
So much money was handled, that is, Li Huan, if it were someone else, I'm afraid that half of the stolen money would end up in the emperor's internal treasury or the national treasury.
Xie Qian stared at Li Huan, and suddenly said as if he had seen through Li Huan: "Well, Li Huan, I have underestimated you, I never thought that you knew the way of self-defilement at a young age."
Speaking of which, Xie Qian said with a sigh: "You are in a high position at a young age, in charge of the Jinyiwei, and even the admiral of the Beijing camp. If you are really not greedy for money, not lecherous, and straight into a perfect person, even if you are trusted by the emperor! For you, after a long time, I am afraid that I will also feel jealous of you."
Xie Qian took a deep breath, looked at Li Huan and said, "So, the more greedy and lustful you are, the more the emperor will trust you. You are so scheming."
Li Huan frowned, and looked at Xie Qian in surprise. All this time, only Wang Yangming had said this to him when he intercepted some confiscated gold and silver, fields, and shops for the Li family when he was in Fujian. The remarks.
The rest of the people only think that he is a young man, and he can't see gold, silver and property.
As Xie Qian said, he was successful at a young age, trusted by the emperor, and endowed with great authority. If he has no shortcomings or the handle is in the hands of the emperor, after a long time, even if the emperor trusts him, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will be in the emperor's hands. Gossiping around.
Xie Qian looked like he saw through Li Huan, but Li Huan sneered and said, "Even if Mr. Xie sees through, so what? Are you going to tell His Majesty, or are you going to tell the world?"
The smug look on Xie Qian's face froze for an instant, yes, even if he saw through Li Huan's self-defilement methods, so what, so what if he told the emperor.
A group of Jin Yiwei in the Xie Mansion nervously and orderly confiscated the gold and silver wealth of the Xie Mansion, while in Yuyao County.
I don't know when it started, old, young, women, children, and young adults in twos and threes are beginning to gather.
Among the eight families in Yuyao, the Cao family, the Xing family, the Qiao family, and the Zheng family and the Mao family who joined in later, except for the Xie family, most of the eight families were persuaded by Qiao Songnian, Xing Tai, and Cao Zhen.
If these several companies are united, the imperial court can completely lose control of Yuyao County in an instant. You must know that even the county government, except for the county magistrate, is an official sent by the imperial court, and the rest, such as patrol inspectors, master books, and servants, are all The people placed by each family.
The Eight Great Families not only control the people's livelihood in Yuyao County, but also control the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people in Yuyao. The family can completely control the life and death of Yuyao people.
When several families offered rewards and money to recruit people to besiege court officials, among the tenants attached to the Eight Great Families, there were many hooligans, some of whom were lazy, loved to take advantage of petty gains, and even had some relatives with the Eight Great Families. The people stood up and responded.
There is a lot of chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, just like when Su Kui and Xi Zhen climbed up and easily gathered hundreds of people to besiege the yamen, and even dragged the tax collectors out of the yamen and beat them to death. If they waved the flag and shouted, Su Kui and a few scholars really couldn't rush into the government office.
Of course, there are really few real families of good people who are willing to participate in this kind of thing.
Even if Su Kui and Xi Zhen climbed up and shouted, most of the people who besieged the government office with them were street hooligans and some small businessmen.After all, ordinary people mostly planed their food in the countryside, and few had the spare time to go to the prefectures.
In the same way, most of the people living in Yuyao County are actually people who have left the land and make a living by doing business or other means.
Among them, there are really few people who really rely on the land for food.
An old woman with a sinister face is a well-known witch in Yuyao County. She usually lives by cheating and abduction. When she learned that the Xing family is willing to give each person a tael of silver, the benefits of three buckets of rice will attract people to attack the court officials. At that time, Goddess Du enthusiastically signed up.
Among the crowd, a few gangsters with scars on their faces, their chests open, exposing their fleshy bodies, Chen Si and the others also took the money from the housekeeper of Qiao's house with excited expressions, and glanced greedily at the others around. money in the hands of men.
An old beggar opened his mouth with yellow teeth, and beside him were several timid boys of seven or eight years old with missing arms and legs, who also leaned forward.
"Sir, what do you think of us?"
The old beggar nodded and bowed to the steward who distributed the money, licking his face.
The butler glanced at the old beggar and the boys behind him, nodded disdainfully and said, "Okay, count you in, especially these little brats, remember to rush to the front when the time comes."
As he said that, he picked up a piece of broken silver and threw it to the old beggar. Hearing this, the old beggar giggled and said, "Master, don't worry, if these brats don't run ahead, I'll chop off all their fingers and feed them to the dogs. "
Speaking of which, the old beggar swung a stick in his hand and slammed it down on an older boy next to him, and shouted viciously: "A group of damned guys, hurry up and collect the money, thank you, master. "
The boy who was beaten and screamed hurriedly brought some boys to change, and thanked the steward in a hoarse voice.
And at this moment, a butcher who came over with a butcher's knife was the butcher Liu on the street. My butcher, Liu, can't do it."
The steward glanced at Butcher Liu, his eyes lit up immediately and said: "Butcher Liu, I will give you double the money, go and call all your colleagues here."
The butcher Liu looked at the white money in his hand, and immediately laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'll call someone."
Even the head catcher Xing Ye, who was born in the Xing family, directly took off his catcher clothes with dozens of head catchers under his command, and joined in by putting on ordinary people's clothes.
As all kinds of people from Yuyao County gathered together, under the temptation of money and food, all the snakes, insects, rats and ants in Yuyao County came out of the gutter one by one, plus some servants of the Eight Great Families. Relatives, it took only half an hour to gather thousands of people.
At a glance, these thousands of people are really a mixed bag, there are all kinds of people, there are petty street thieves, there are idle hooligans, there are traders who are greedy for petty gains, and there are even a few women who deal in skin and meat. , It's really a group of demons dancing wildly, in a mess.
Xing Tai, Cao Zhen, Qiao Songnian, Zheng Buer, and Mao Shang are sitting in the Qiao's mansion with serious expressions discussing something.
Qiao Songnian said with a gloomy expression: "Everyone, the manpower we have gathered is basically in place now, and when we are ready, we will go directly to attack the Jinyiwei team."
Xing Tai sneered and said: "That's right, let those people rush to the front, we don't believe it, under the impact of thousands of people, those Jin Yiwei either escaped or were beaten to death on the spot, then Li Huan will take off his clothes if he doesn't die this time." Layers of skin."
Cao Zhen, who was stroking his beard, said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Everyone, it is not the most important thing to kill those Jin Yiwei. The most important thing is that we want to start a civil disturbance. When it grows up, when the time comes to alarm the princes above the court and the emperor, then Li Huan, the thief, will have only one end."
Qiao Songnian laughed loudly and said, "That's right, what the emperor and the court are most afraid of is civil unrest in the local area. Whenever there is civil unrest, local officials must kill their heads to appease the public anger. We just need to do it this time." If there is any movement, pointing directly at Li Huan, then the court will definitely kill Li Huan when the time comes."
Xing Tai's eyes flickered with excitement and said: "Yes, and Li Huan massacred so many scholars, we must spread it widely, and let the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River also contribute their efforts. The whole court is clamoring to kill the traitor Li Huan, even if the emperor loves Li Huan so much, he must abandon Li Huan to appease the people's grievances."
Qiao Songnian nodded and said: "Let the scholars in Jiangnan contact their connections in the court, and then the local government and the court will promote it together. If Li Huan does not die this time, then God will not open his eyes."
While he was talking, he heard a rush of footsteps.
I saw the manager of Qiao's mansion coming quickly.
Qiao Songnian, Xing Tai, Cao Zhen, Zheng Buer, and Mao Shang all looked at the steward in unison.
The steward walked into the hall with a bit of joy on his face, and immediately saluted all the people: "I have seen you, masters!"
Qiao Songnian waved his hand and said, "Qiao Ling, what happened to what I told you to do?"
Qiao Ling, the steward, hurriedly said after hearing the words: "Returning to the master, the younger one was ordered by the master to spread the news of our recruitment, and soon attracted many people in the city. Now just those who have received the money are enough Thousands of people."
Although the rest of Xing Tai and Cao Zhen have been paying attention to the movement outside, they still don't have an accurate figure for how many people they can attract.
Now hearing what Qiao Ling said, everyone's faces were filled with joy, and their spirits were lifted.
Qiao Songnian took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and said, "Thousands of people? The number is a little small, but can we increase it?"
Qiao Ling thought for a while and said to Qiao Songnian: "If the masters order the servants of each mansion to go out together, we can gather more than 2000 people at that time."
You must know that they are five of Yuyao's eight families, and which family does not have hundreds of servants. As Qiao Ling said, they can easily gather 2000 servants just by relying on their servants.
Qiao Songnian looked at Xing Tai and Cao Zhen and said, "Guys, my Qiao Mansion will send another three hundred servants."
Cao Zhen, Xing Tai, Zheng Buer, and Mao Shang looked at each other, and said with a smile: "In that case, let's dispatch 300 people from each of our families. In this way, including those recruited, it is enough There are more than 2000 people, but it is enough to cause a civil unrest."
Qiao Songnian nodded slightly, waved his hand at Qiao Ling and said, "Go to the mansion to pick three hundred servants."
At the same time, Cao Zhen, Xing Tai and others also sent their confidantes back to dispatch their servants.
It was just a stick of incense time, when the servants of each family put on ordinary people's clothes and rushed to Qiao's mansion in groups, they attracted countless people's attention along the way.
After all, when hundreds of people gathered together, the movement was not small at all.
But at this moment, on the long street in front of the Qiao Mansion, at a glance, it was densely packed with servants from various families and all kinds of people who came here for money.
These people stood together in a mess. If you can't tell the real details of these people, to be honest, most people will really think that these are a group of ordinary people when they see them.
In Qiao's mansion, through the open gate, Qiao Songnian, Cao Zhen, Zheng Buer and the others were looking at the thousands of people on the long street outside the gate from afar, when they suddenly saw such a The momentum formed by the gathering of many people still couldn't help showing a look of shock in his eyes.
[The first update is delivered. Although the cold is not good, there will be another update in the evening, which has reached the top ten best sellers. Brothers are mighty. Please book in full, monthly pass, and reward]
(End of this chapter)
This sudden change only made a group of county school students dumbfounded. What did they see?
The heads of Song Guangsheng and Tan Yuan flew high, and the headless corpse stood there, a stream of blood gushed out, and there was only blood red in front of them.
The county scholars who have not yet reacted are rushing forward with their heads buried, shouting in their mouths: "I tied Li Huan to the official, and I must give us an explanation..."
It's just that the bloody scene at the next moment made these county school students widen their eyes and close their mouths, as if they were tapped on the acupuncture points and frozen there.
Xie Qian, Xie Di, and the few scholars who had escaped from the pile of dead people by the side all had such expressions on their faces when they saw this scene.
They had already experienced such a scene before, when they saw people like Song Guangsheng and Tan Yuan blocking Li Huan on the long street, they secretly guessed how Li Huan would deal with these people.
It's just that he didn't expect that Li Huan didn't pay attention to these people's intentions at all, and just ran into them with his horse.
From Xie Qian's point of view, Li Huan had already shown some mercy to Song Guangsheng and others. Otherwise, with Li Huan's temperament, it would be strange if he said he didn't kill most of the scholars who blocked the way.
Originally, if these people said they would just disperse, they would have escaped a catastrophe, but who would have thought that these people are so ill-informed that there is no news that Li Huan killed so many scholars in Muzhai Academy? Got it, and bumped it head on.
He was so naive as to threaten Li Huan with the crowd, and even wanted to tie Li Huan to see the official.
If Li Huan really followed their example, wouldn't those scholars who were slaughtered by Li Huan before all die in vain?
Seeing Song Guangsheng shouting to tie up Li Huan, Xie Qian and the others guessed what would happen to these people.
Sure enough, Li Huan did not disappoint them, he did not spoil these people at all, he cut off the heads of Song Guangsheng and Tan Yuan very cleanly and neatly.
Xie Qian, Xie Di, and the few surviving scholars didn't know what they were thinking, but they didn't remind Song Guangsheng, Xie Di and the others.
But looking at Song Guangsheng's posture, I'm afraid Xie Qian may not be able to stop him even if he speaks.
Of course, the gloomy psychology of Xie Qian and others cannot be ruled out. They are all so miserable, why can't others be as miserable as them.
In other words, Xie Qian and Xie Di thought in their hearts that as long as Li Huan dared to kill people, the more people he killed, the worse Li Huan's reputation would be, and the more he would be hated by scholars all over the world.
When the literati's hatred towards Li Huan accumulates to a certain level, it will explode. At that time, Li Huan's end must be very miserable.
Even Xie Di, whose eyes were full of dead silence, laughed wildly at this moment and said: "Kill, kill them all!"
Ren Zheng, who had been by Song Guangsheng's side all the time, was carrying the body of his good friend Sun Qiping before, and his heart was full of hatred for Li Huan.
Especially after Li Huan broke their minds, Ren Zheng asked himself, the fundamental purpose of their studies is really not to govern the country and serve the king, but to think about how to rely on the various preferential treatment given to them by the court, how to give their families seek greater benefits.
As long as they raise people in high school, they don't have to pay taxes and can accept donations from the people, even if they know that in this way, the court will inevitably collect a lot less tax.
But what does this have to do with them? If the country's tax revenue is less, it is a matter for the court and the emperor to consider. As long as they have enough interests, it is enough.
No one has ever revealed the darkest and most selfish side of their hearts in front of them. They are scholars who want face.
Li Huan directly stabbed them in the heart with a knife, he just pointed at their faces and scolded them all as cystworms lying on Daming's body and sucking blood.
So Ren Zheng followed Song Guangsheng and rushed to the front, the hatred in his eyes couldn't be more obvious, he wished he could rush forward and strangle Li Huan to death.
For a traitor like Li Huan, it is better to die.
It's just that Ren Zheng felt a blur in front of his eyes, and blood rushed to his face.
The scorching hot blood with a bit of saltiness poured on his head and face, Ren Zheng subconsciously wiped it on his face, and when he looked down, he let out a scream.
"Blood!"
Especially with a glance, Song Guangsheng, who was right in front of him, had lost his head, and the headless corpse was spurting out blood, just standing in front of him.
When such a terrifying scene came into view, Ren Zheng's face immediately turned pale, and his eyes were full of horror.
His legs trembled, the crotch was warm, and the ground was wet in the blink of an eye, and he was so frightened that he peed on his pants.
On the side of Renzheng is Lei Ming who was afraid before.
Lei Ming was dubious about the words of those scholars who escaped from Muzhai Academy. According to his temperament, he definitely didn't want to take the risk of making trouble for Li Huan.
But Song Guangsheng's scolding, and the strange eyes of all the students made Lei Ming summon up the courage to follow, and in order to prove that he was really not afraid, he deliberately walked in the front.
Similarly, Lei Ming also saw the scene where Song Guangsheng's head was cut off, and his head exploded with a buzzing, bright red in front of his eyes.
In a daze, Lei Ming only felt that something fell into his arms. Lei Ming subconsciously hugged the thing in his arms, and instinctively wiped it away.
"Why does this look so much like a human head..."
Feeling the sense of touch from his hands, nose, mouth, ears and the fluffy hair, Lei Ming looked at the headless corpse in front of him, inexplicably filled with infinite fear in his heart, and subconsciously looked down.
When he took a look, he happened to see a bloody head in his arms, if it wasn't Song Guangsheng's head, what else.
And at this time Song Guangsheng's head was facing him, his eyes were wide open, and there was still some disbelief left. Obviously, at the moment Song Guangsheng's head was chopped off, Song Guangsheng didn't believe that Li Huan would attack him.
At a glance, he met Song Guangsheng's bloody head, and Lei Ming was so frightened that he threw Song Guangsheng's head out of his mouth almost like a conditioned reflex, and let out a scream.
Song Guangsheng's head was thrown out by Thunder, and flew several feet away. After landing, it rolled a few times and stopped on the ground.
The people around were looking at Song Guangsheng, Tan Yuan and the others leading a group of students from the county school, walking towards Li Huan with arrogance and arrogance, shouting to tie Li Huan to the official.
Even people with good deeds shouted in the crowd to cheer for Song Guangsheng and Tan Yuan.
However, the next moment, all the people were dumbfounded. The heads of Song Guangsheng and Tan Yuan were cut off like that. That scene was really exciting.
Faces full of astonishment and fear froze, just looking at Li Huan in brocade and flying fish costumes so stupidly, it seemed that he couldn't believe that it was such a noble young man who said he would kill if he said that he would kill him, and he would kill him in a blink of an eye. Cut off other people's heads.
When Song Guangsheng's head was thrown out by Lei Ming, and it just rolled in front of these ordinary people who were hiding not far away to watch the excitement, especially when Song Guangsheng stared at them with a dead face, he finally became timid. The people screamed in fright, turned around and fled.
In the blink of an eye, these people scattered like birds and beasts. It was only a dozen or so breaths of effort, but they ran away cleanly, leaving only a mess on the ground.
Shoes, hats, even clothes, and a few unlucky ghosts who were trampled to the ground are now enduring the severe pain in their bodies and trying to crawl towards the corner.
All these happened in the time of a dozen or so breaths.
When Li Huan put away the knife, the Xiuchun knife, which was still stained with blood, was thrown to Chen Yao by Li Huan.
Chen Yao took the blood-stained Xiuchun Knife, glanced ferociously at those county school students who were trembling with fright and were at a loss, and then said to Li Huan, "My lord, what should we do with these people."
The guards around Jinyi stared at these quail-like scholars one by one, and some even squatted on the ground in fright, crying for their father and mother.
Li Huan glanced over these students, and being stared at by Li Huan, these students finally collapsed.
The gazes of Jin Yiwei around were scary enough, but they were not as scary as Li Huan's indifferent gaze.
One must know that Li Huan chopped off the heads of Song Guangsheng, Tan Yuan and the others without blinking an eye. At this moment, in the minds of all the students, Li Huan's reputation as a murderous maniac has been confirmed.
With a plop, Lei Ming was the closest to Li Huan, and noticed the murderous intent in Li Huan's eyes, Lei Ming knelt down directly, ignoring the pain in his knee, and then kowtowed to Li Huan: "My lord, please forgive me! The students are forced, they are all forcing the students to come, woo woo woo, the students didn't want to come..."
Seeing this, Li Huan couldn't help but glanced at Lei Ming, his eyes were full of disgust, such a soft-boned, without a bit of assertiveness, was the most hateful.
We must know that many times, the really bad things are these people who have no opinion at all. They often do what others say, and when there is something, they say hello.
It can be said that this type of people is the most numerous in the world, and it is also the most pitiful and hateful group of people.
Ren Zheng was so frightened that he peed his pants, and now he was paralyzed on the ground. Beside him was the corpse of his best friend Sun Qiping. He just sat on the ground in a daze, muttering something. Scared out of the general.
Seeing Lei Ming's reaction, almost half of the students fell to their knees and kowtowed begging for mercy, shouting that they were also forced.
Li Huan watched these people's reactions with a mocking look on his lips.
Finally, he let out a long sigh: "My Ming Dynasty has raised a group of loyal people like you for hundreds of years? What's the use of keeping you?"
While speaking, Li Huan's eyes were cold, as if a voice from Nine Nether Hell sounded: "Kill!"
Already holding the embroidered spring knife, all the guards in brocade clothes impatiently showed ferocious expressions when they heard the words.
They are very good at killing people, especially killing those scholars whose eyes are higher than the top on weekdays, and they usually look sideways at him.
The reputation of their Jinyiwei was given by defeating these people. Over the past hundred years, it has become synonymous with all kinds of evil. Everyone mentions Jinyiwei, from the dignitaries to the common people, and almost no one has a good word to say.
But they were only doing business for the emperor, and they arrested high-ranking officials, powerful officials, corrupt officials, and never harmed the common people.
It is understandable for corrupt officials to scold them, but the people who have never been harmed scold them the most, not because of these scholars, but because of whom.
So Jin Yiwei disliked these scholars the most.
Chen Yao shouted: "Follow me!"
I saw a strong figure named Jin Yiwei swinging a knife and rushing towards these students who had come here to trouble them with arrogance not long ago.
Originally sitting next to Sun Qiping's body, Ren Zheng, who was dumbfounded like crazy, jumped up from the ground when he heard Li Huan's murderous words, and then ran towards the distance at an astonishing speed. The speed and agility were beyond everyone's expectations. Even the students of Ren Zheng were stunned when they saw Ren Zheng who was the first to escape.
When they saw Ren Zheng's appearance earlier, they thought that Ren Zheng was frightened crazy, but they didn't expect that the other party was pretending and reacting so quickly, you fucking ran away, what should we do.
"Escape!"
Someone yelled, turned and ran.
Jin Yiwei looked at these students ferociously, some were running fast, while others were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, begging endlessly.
It's a pity that Jin Yiwei has already seen too many scenes like this begging for mercy. Every time the house is ransacked, the family members of those powerful families don't beg for mercy too much.
The hand raised the knife and fell, and the heads fell to the ground one by one.
Ren Zheng, who was running in the front, became more and more nervous when he heard the screams coming from behind him. At this moment, Ren Zheng only hated his legs for running too slowly.
Chen Yao's eyes naturally fell on Ren Zheng. It was Ren Zheng who rushed to the front, and after Song Guangsheng and Tan Yuan were killed, he seemed to be insane.
Seeing Ren Zheng running so fast, Chen Yao sneered disdainfully. If Ren Zheng was allowed to escape like this, wouldn't they, Jin Yiwei, all become trash.
Seeing Chen Yao leaping, he caught up with Ren Zheng after a few ups and downs.
When Ren Zhengzheng was secretly glad that he was running fast enough, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Looking sideways, Chen Yao was smiling at him.
The next moment Ren Zheng saw a saber light falling towards him.
"Forgive me..."
It's a pity that Chen Yao chopped off Ren Zheng's head before he finished speaking.
Soon Chen Yao and other Jin Yiwei rushed back, within a radius of tens of feet, dozens of corpses fell to the ground, blood sprayed everywhere.
There was blood in front of the gate of Xie's house.
Seeing the scene of those students being chased and killed, the people who had been hiding in the dark shrank their heads back in fright, fearing that Jin Yiwei would stare at them and kill them.
"My lord, none of them escaped."
Li Huan nodded slightly.
In the Xie mansion, Xie Ming and the direct descendants of the Xie family hid in the mansion one by one after Xie Zhong was killed, and did not dare to step out of the mansion, for fear of following in Xie Zhong's footsteps.
When Li Huan brought Xie Qian, Xie Di and others to Xie's mansion, Xie Ming and others saw Xie Qian and the others immediately.
It's a pity that looking at Xie Qian and Xie Di outside the mansion gate, and then looking at Xie Zhong's body, no one dared to step out of the mansion gate to see Xie Qian.
When Xie Ming was brave enough to speak out, Song Guangsheng and Tan Yuan led a group of scholars to attract his attention.
Xie Ming and others are no strangers to Song Guangsheng, Tan Yuan and others. After all, as a county teacher, even the Xie family has children who study in the county school.
I thought that the arrival of Song Guangsheng, Tan Yuan and others would bring hope to the Xie family, but when everyone in the Xie family watched Song Guangsheng and Tan Yuan being massacred under Li Huan's order, everyone in the Xie family Endless despair and chills rose in my heart.
Some people even fell to the ground in fright and burst into tears.
They had heard Li Huan's conversation with Xie Qian earlier, the Xie family was guilty of treason, a serious crime to exterminate the nine clans.
Li Huan dared to kill even so many scholars, let alone them.
The wailing sound from Xie Mansion attracted the attention of the crowd.
Li Huan looked at the reactions of those relatives in the Xie Mansion, with a smile on his lips, and turned his eyes to Xie Qian and said, "Master Xie, seeing this scene, I don't know how you feel in your heart?"
Xie Qian's ears were filled with the sound of his children's wailing, and he was very irritable. Hearing Li Huan's sarcasm, he couldn't help but sneered at Li Huan and said, "I only regret not being able to kill that stupid king. Except for traitors like you."
Xie Di on the side couldn't help but change his face when he heard the words and exclaimed: "Brother..."
Xie Qian glared at Xie Di and said, "Anyway, it's a capital crime, so there's nothing else we can't say."
Saying that, Xie Qian stared at Li Huan and said, "I just wish I didn't expect that Li Huan, a traitor, would receive the news so quickly and break into the palace to save the emperor. Otherwise, the old man would definitely let people end up earlier took the life of the Son of Heaven."
Just like what Xie Qian said, the emperor was in a coma for so long, even Zhang Yong, who was serving the emperor, Zheng Chen from the imperial hospital, and others colluded with Xie Qian. If Xie Qian didn't want to wait for the emperor himself If you die, there are plenty of opportunities to kill the emperor.
Everything was in Xie Qian's expectation, but it's a pity that even Xie Qian didn't expect that Li Huan was like falling from the sky, and he didn't give them a chance to react, and went directly to the imperial city to rescue the emperor.
Li Huan glanced at Xie Qian and said: "God sees that you have done too much evil, so I don't allow you to do what you want. Your Majesty is a lucky man, and today I will liquidate your Xie family."
Xie Qian laughed out loud, ignored Li Huan, and shouted angrily at Xie Ming and other Xie family's children: "Why are you crying, isn't it just death..."
Li Huan cast his eyes on the huge Xie Mansion, a cold look flashed in his eyes and said: "Let the brothers ransack the house!"
Immediately a piece of Jin Yiwei rushed into Xie's mansion, and there was a burst of chaos in Xie's mansion, with escaped servants and relatives of Xie's family everywhere.
"Everyone fought with them!"
I don't know who yelled, and I saw several Xie family's children knowing that they would die, but they had the courage to rush towards the Jinyiwei who ransacked their homes.
It's a pity that these people didn't have any resistance in front of Jin Yiwei, and they were chopped to death on the spot before they could get close.
In the huge Xie family, there may be dozens or even hundreds of relatives, including at least 30 to [-] males, but there are only a few who really have the courage to dare to fight to the death.
Looking at the nephews killed by Jin Yiwei, Xie Qian laughed loudly and said, "Okay, okay, you are indeed my Xie family's children."
Looking at this scene, Chen Yao whispered: "My lord, this Xie Qian is probably crazy! He really is not afraid of death at all."
Li Huan said calmly: "He's not crazy, he's deliberately trying to be something we can see. If he's really not afraid of death, he might have committed suicide a long time ago like Fei Hong."
Chen Yao couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, and glanced at the mad-looking Xie Qian, with a bit of disdain in his eyes.
Yes, it was true that they had arrested Xie Qian, but if Xie Qian really wanted to commit suicide, there were plenty of ways, but Xie Qian had no intention of seeking death at all.
"This old thing doesn't have any calculations, does it?"
Li Huan chuckled lightly and said, "No matter what kind of calculations there are, the Xie family is finished."
As a large number of brocade guards picked up the relative locks of Xie's family, a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry were looted.
As Xie Ming and other core disciples of the Xie family couldn't resist the torture of Jin Yiwei, they confessed where the treasures of the Xie family were hidden, and boxes of gold, silver and jewels were carried out.
Soon the yard was filled with all kinds of confiscated property, roughly estimated to be as many as one million taels.
This is just a simple copy of the property. The Xie family has been in Yuyao for decades, and Xie Qian, the elder of the pavilion, will eventually be able to find more gold and silver properties than the Fei family.
You must know that Cai Wen, in order to get through Xie Qian's channel, was transferred from Fujian to the capital, and gave Xie Qian money several times.
It doesn't take too many officials like Cai Wen to bribe Xie Qian, only a dozen or so people are needed, probably not less than a million taels.
At this moment, Chen Yao excitedly ran over to Li Huan and said, "My lord, Xie Di has recruited. It's a big silver cellar. I'll go down and have a look in person. I'm afraid it's not less than two or three million taels."
Hearing this, Li Huan couldn't help but glanced at Xie Qian who was in shackles and said, "Master Xie, the late emperor treated you well. Is this how you repay the late emperor?"
Xie Qian just snorted coldly when he heard the words, and sneered at Li Huan: "Li Huan, you are just laughing at fifty steps and laughing at a hundred steps. You should get it, Li Huan, dare you say that you didn't put money in your house?"
When Li Huan heard this, it was as if he had heard some big joke.
According to Xie Qian's theory, he should go to his own house to collect money when he assists the emperor. In his view, corruption and bribery are a matter of course.
I'm afraid that among the money, I don't know how much of it is the people's fat and people's anointing that Xie Qian used his power to scoop up.
Li Huan even remembered that when Xie Qian was an old man, he was the secretary of the household department. With Xie Qian's disposition, he was in charge of such a money bag as the treasury. If he didn't stretch out his hand, he would not be Xie Qian.
Li Huan gave Xie Qian a disdainful look and said: "Although Li loves money, he gets it in a proper way. What money can and cannot be taken, but Li knows better than Mr. Xie."
Li Huan has never shy away from this point, even his subordinates, Li Huan is not hesitant to offer rewards, but as Li Huan said, he will not do such things that violate his conscience.
Just like those Jinyiwei, no matter how tight their financial situation is, few people would exploit the people.
Therefore, most of the Jinyiwei used to exploit some merchants in the market, but now this kind of behavior is under Li Huan's restraint, and it rarely happens.
Xie Qian laughed loudly and said, "So what, what is meant by what should be taken and what should be said should not be taken. As long as you take it, it is corruption and perverting the law."
Li Huan nodded and said: "Lord Xie is right. Li is indeed corrupt and corrupt. I dare to act bravely. Even His Majesty knows what money Li took. Li is not afraid of anyone knowing, but Mr. Xie, do you dare?" ?”
Li Huan himself ransacked his house several times, and he gained a lot of benefits from his handling. For this reason, Zhu Houzhao once teased Li Huan. How much to skyrocket.
It can be said that from the beginning to the end, Li Huan put the things that benefited him in front of the emperor, and Zhu Houzhao was very clear about the things that benefited Li Huan.
So much money was handled, that is, Li Huan, if it were someone else, I'm afraid that half of the stolen money would end up in the emperor's internal treasury or the national treasury.
Xie Qian stared at Li Huan, and suddenly said as if he had seen through Li Huan: "Well, Li Huan, I have underestimated you, I never thought that you knew the way of self-defilement at a young age."
Speaking of which, Xie Qian said with a sigh: "You are in a high position at a young age, in charge of the Jinyiwei, and even the admiral of the Beijing camp. If you are really not greedy for money, not lecherous, and straight into a perfect person, even if you are trusted by the emperor! For you, after a long time, I am afraid that I will also feel jealous of you."
Xie Qian took a deep breath, looked at Li Huan and said, "So, the more greedy and lustful you are, the more the emperor will trust you. You are so scheming."
Li Huan frowned, and looked at Xie Qian in surprise. All this time, only Wang Yangming had said this to him when he intercepted some confiscated gold and silver, fields, and shops for the Li family when he was in Fujian. The remarks.
The rest of the people only think that he is a young man, and he can't see gold, silver and property.
As Xie Qian said, he was successful at a young age, trusted by the emperor, and endowed with great authority. If he has no shortcomings or the handle is in the hands of the emperor, after a long time, even if the emperor trusts him, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will be in the emperor's hands. Gossiping around.
Xie Qian looked like he saw through Li Huan, but Li Huan sneered and said, "Even if Mr. Xie sees through, so what? Are you going to tell His Majesty, or are you going to tell the world?"
The smug look on Xie Qian's face froze for an instant, yes, even if he saw through Li Huan's self-defilement methods, so what, so what if he told the emperor.
A group of Jin Yiwei in the Xie Mansion nervously and orderly confiscated the gold and silver wealth of the Xie Mansion, while in Yuyao County.
I don't know when it started, old, young, women, children, and young adults in twos and threes are beginning to gather.
Among the eight families in Yuyao, the Cao family, the Xing family, the Qiao family, and the Zheng family and the Mao family who joined in later, except for the Xie family, most of the eight families were persuaded by Qiao Songnian, Xing Tai, and Cao Zhen.
If these several companies are united, the imperial court can completely lose control of Yuyao County in an instant. You must know that even the county government, except for the county magistrate, is an official sent by the imperial court, and the rest, such as patrol inspectors, master books, and servants, are all The people placed by each family.
The Eight Great Families not only control the people's livelihood in Yuyao County, but also control the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people in Yuyao. The family can completely control the life and death of Yuyao people.
When several families offered rewards and money to recruit people to besiege court officials, among the tenants attached to the Eight Great Families, there were many hooligans, some of whom were lazy, loved to take advantage of petty gains, and even had some relatives with the Eight Great Families. The people stood up and responded.
There is a lot of chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, just like when Su Kui and Xi Zhen climbed up and easily gathered hundreds of people to besiege the yamen, and even dragged the tax collectors out of the yamen and beat them to death. If they waved the flag and shouted, Su Kui and a few scholars really couldn't rush into the government office.
Of course, there are really few real families of good people who are willing to participate in this kind of thing.
Even if Su Kui and Xi Zhen climbed up and shouted, most of the people who besieged the government office with them were street hooligans and some small businessmen.After all, ordinary people mostly planed their food in the countryside, and few had the spare time to go to the prefectures.
In the same way, most of the people living in Yuyao County are actually people who have left the land and make a living by doing business or other means.
Among them, there are really few people who really rely on the land for food.
An old woman with a sinister face is a well-known witch in Yuyao County. She usually lives by cheating and abduction. When she learned that the Xing family is willing to give each person a tael of silver, the benefits of three buckets of rice will attract people to attack the court officials. At that time, Goddess Du enthusiastically signed up.
Among the crowd, a few gangsters with scars on their faces, their chests open, exposing their fleshy bodies, Chen Si and the others also took the money from the housekeeper of Qiao's house with excited expressions, and glanced greedily at the others around. money in the hands of men.
An old beggar opened his mouth with yellow teeth, and beside him were several timid boys of seven or eight years old with missing arms and legs, who also leaned forward.
"Sir, what do you think of us?"
The old beggar nodded and bowed to the steward who distributed the money, licking his face.
The butler glanced at the old beggar and the boys behind him, nodded disdainfully and said, "Okay, count you in, especially these little brats, remember to rush to the front when the time comes."
As he said that, he picked up a piece of broken silver and threw it to the old beggar. Hearing this, the old beggar giggled and said, "Master, don't worry, if these brats don't run ahead, I'll chop off all their fingers and feed them to the dogs. "
Speaking of which, the old beggar swung a stick in his hand and slammed it down on an older boy next to him, and shouted viciously: "A group of damned guys, hurry up and collect the money, thank you, master. "
The boy who was beaten and screamed hurriedly brought some boys to change, and thanked the steward in a hoarse voice.
And at this moment, a butcher who came over with a butcher's knife was the butcher Liu on the street. My butcher, Liu, can't do it."
The steward glanced at Butcher Liu, his eyes lit up immediately and said: "Butcher Liu, I will give you double the money, go and call all your colleagues here."
The butcher Liu looked at the white money in his hand, and immediately laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'll call someone."
Even the head catcher Xing Ye, who was born in the Xing family, directly took off his catcher clothes with dozens of head catchers under his command, and joined in by putting on ordinary people's clothes.
As all kinds of people from Yuyao County gathered together, under the temptation of money and food, all the snakes, insects, rats and ants in Yuyao County came out of the gutter one by one, plus some servants of the Eight Great Families. Relatives, it took only half an hour to gather thousands of people.
At a glance, these thousands of people are really a mixed bag, there are all kinds of people, there are petty street thieves, there are idle hooligans, there are traders who are greedy for petty gains, and there are even a few women who deal in skin and meat. , It's really a group of demons dancing wildly, in a mess.
Xing Tai, Cao Zhen, Qiao Songnian, Zheng Buer, and Mao Shang are sitting in the Qiao's mansion with serious expressions discussing something.
Qiao Songnian said with a gloomy expression: "Everyone, the manpower we have gathered is basically in place now, and when we are ready, we will go directly to attack the Jinyiwei team."
Xing Tai sneered and said: "That's right, let those people rush to the front, we don't believe it, under the impact of thousands of people, those Jin Yiwei either escaped or were beaten to death on the spot, then Li Huan will take off his clothes if he doesn't die this time." Layers of skin."
Cao Zhen, who was stroking his beard, said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Everyone, it is not the most important thing to kill those Jin Yiwei. The most important thing is that we want to start a civil disturbance. When it grows up, when the time comes to alarm the princes above the court and the emperor, then Li Huan, the thief, will have only one end."
Qiao Songnian laughed loudly and said, "That's right, what the emperor and the court are most afraid of is civil unrest in the local area. Whenever there is civil unrest, local officials must kill their heads to appease the public anger. We just need to do it this time." If there is any movement, pointing directly at Li Huan, then the court will definitely kill Li Huan when the time comes."
Xing Tai's eyes flickered with excitement and said: "Yes, and Li Huan massacred so many scholars, we must spread it widely, and let the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River also contribute their efforts. The whole court is clamoring to kill the traitor Li Huan, even if the emperor loves Li Huan so much, he must abandon Li Huan to appease the people's grievances."
Qiao Songnian nodded and said: "Let the scholars in Jiangnan contact their connections in the court, and then the local government and the court will promote it together. If Li Huan does not die this time, then God will not open his eyes."
While he was talking, he heard a rush of footsteps.
I saw the manager of Qiao's mansion coming quickly.
Qiao Songnian, Xing Tai, Cao Zhen, Zheng Buer, and Mao Shang all looked at the steward in unison.
The steward walked into the hall with a bit of joy on his face, and immediately saluted all the people: "I have seen you, masters!"
Qiao Songnian waved his hand and said, "Qiao Ling, what happened to what I told you to do?"
Qiao Ling, the steward, hurriedly said after hearing the words: "Returning to the master, the younger one was ordered by the master to spread the news of our recruitment, and soon attracted many people in the city. Now just those who have received the money are enough Thousands of people."
Although the rest of Xing Tai and Cao Zhen have been paying attention to the movement outside, they still don't have an accurate figure for how many people they can attract.
Now hearing what Qiao Ling said, everyone's faces were filled with joy, and their spirits were lifted.
Qiao Songnian took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and said, "Thousands of people? The number is a little small, but can we increase it?"
Qiao Ling thought for a while and said to Qiao Songnian: "If the masters order the servants of each mansion to go out together, we can gather more than 2000 people at that time."
You must know that they are five of Yuyao's eight families, and which family does not have hundreds of servants. As Qiao Ling said, they can easily gather 2000 servants just by relying on their servants.
Qiao Songnian looked at Xing Tai and Cao Zhen and said, "Guys, my Qiao Mansion will send another three hundred servants."
Cao Zhen, Xing Tai, Zheng Buer, and Mao Shang looked at each other, and said with a smile: "In that case, let's dispatch 300 people from each of our families. In this way, including those recruited, it is enough There are more than 2000 people, but it is enough to cause a civil unrest."
Qiao Songnian nodded slightly, waved his hand at Qiao Ling and said, "Go to the mansion to pick three hundred servants."
At the same time, Cao Zhen, Xing Tai and others also sent their confidantes back to dispatch their servants.
It was just a stick of incense time, when the servants of each family put on ordinary people's clothes and rushed to Qiao's mansion in groups, they attracted countless people's attention along the way.
After all, when hundreds of people gathered together, the movement was not small at all.
But at this moment, on the long street in front of the Qiao Mansion, at a glance, it was densely packed with servants from various families and all kinds of people who came here for money.
These people stood together in a mess. If you can't tell the real details of these people, to be honest, most people will really think that these are a group of ordinary people when they see them.
In Qiao's mansion, through the open gate, Qiao Songnian, Cao Zhen, Zheng Buer and the others were looking at the thousands of people on the long street outside the gate from afar, when they suddenly saw such a The momentum formed by the gathering of many people still couldn't help showing a look of shock in his eyes.
