At the end of Ming Dynasty: I, Sun Kewang!Desperate comeback!

Chapter 125: You are said to be transparent, you better be really transparent!

At this point, there was no military force in Guangzhou Prefecture that could stop Sun Kewang's order to divide the land and equalize the output.

"The ruler of the country has decreed that Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao are extremely vicious and are causing harm to the local area and causing unrest in Guangdong."

"Now the king of the country has asked the Qing Dynasty to grant him a royal title, imitating what happened in Korea. He will stay in Guangdong and Guangxi forever and pay tribute coins every year."

"Now, the Qing court has issued an edict, naming the king as the Righteous King of the Qing Dynasty and the Lord of Guangdong and Guangxi!"

"Since the Lord of the country is the Lord of Guangdong and Guangxi, he should defend the country's borders, care for the people on behalf of Heaven, and uphold justice for the common people, the gentry of Guangdong and Guangxi, and the soldiers of the Green Camp!"

"The two feudal lords, Shang and Geng, have been domineering and encircling the western region, killing innocent people indiscriminately and causing trouble to the region for a long time."

"The land obtained is more than ten million acres, and the industry occupied is worth hundreds of millions of taels of silver."

“Since the ruler of the country is the ruler of Guangdong and Guangxi, he should make decisions for the people!
"From now on, no matter the common people, gentry or green camp, they can all respect the order of the king, divide the fields and produce equally in the West, and enjoy peace forever!"

A message spread throughout Guangdong and Guangxi, like a giant whale entering a pond, exploding the entire Guangdong and Guangxi!
Whether they are soldiers, gentry or ordinary people, if they are willing to obey the orders of Lord Sun, they can be allocated land and industry in Xi'an.

With this order, the entire Guangdong and Guangxi immediately fell into madness.

"Master Hou, I am really not transparent!"

In Foshan City, more than a dozen wealthy households were wailing and pleading.

"Bold!" Zhang Sheng was furious.

"What kind of person is the king! He said that you are transparent. There is evidence. How can it be groundless?"

"Come here! Give me a good trial! We must eradicate these spies for the Qing Dynasty!"

With a wave of Zhang Sheng's hand, countless warriors picked up a famous gentleman.

Countless instruments of torture were placed on their bodies.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

A series of miserable howls sounded, making the hairs of the few gentry who were not "transparent" stand on end.

"Master Hou, I really have no transparency! I am a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty!"

More than a dozen wealthy people howled miserably and begged sobbingly.

"The matter has come to this, and you still don't admit it!"

Zhang Sheng snorted coldly.

"They must have been specially trained and are die-hard loyalists to the remnants of the previous Ming Dynasty! Come here, don't be afraid of their death. We must find out the reason within a stick of incense!"

Zhang Sheng slapped the gavel fiercely and ordered.

"Yes!" Dozens of soldiers in front continued to exert force.

"Are you going to tell me or not?" A piece of red iron was burned into a gentleman's body.

"what--!"

A miserable howl rang out, and the gentleman died on the spot.

"It's so unexamined, why are you still carrying it?" Zhang Sheng smiled scornfully.

"Come here, give me your confession."

Two officials came to the dead gentry with a newly written confession.

Then he picked up the corpse's finger, dipped it directly in the gentleman's own blood, and pressed it on the confession.

"The Zhao family in Foshan, in vain for the grace of the Qing Dynasty, colluded with the remnants of the previous Ming Dynasty and attempted to rebel!"

"According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, the nine clans were implicated, their property was confiscated, and their bones were crushed and their ashes scattered!" an official shouted in a dignified voice.

The gentleman almost couldn't help but spit out his blood.

"Isn't it too serious to implicate the nine clans?"

Zhang Sheng pretended.

"Master Marquis, the laws of the Qing Dynasty are like this. As ministers, we cannot violate the king's laws!" the official said solemnly.

"Can't you break the king's law?"

Puff puff--

The gentry in Foshan were so angry that they kicked their noses and stood up, and some of them with bad intentions even spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Now that you are like this, you are telling me that you can’t break the king’s law?
Is there still a king's law?Is there still a law?

"Having said that, the lord of the country is kind and will definitely be lenient."

Zhang Sheng said seriously: "In that case, I, Zhang Sheng, will take charge on behalf of the country's leader. I will only confiscate the Zhao family in Foshan and not kill the people."

"Master Hou is so kind and righteous!" In the lobby, the officials praised him one after another.

"Benevolence and righteousness?" The bruised and bruised Foshan gentry stared angrily.

He was so shameless in order to seize their property, how could he be kind and righteous?

"Zhang Sheng! If you want to kill, kill! I will fight with you!"

A gentleman was holding a money rat's tail, angry and old-fashioned, obviously angry.

"Who is this person?" Zhang Sheng asked.

"Your Majesty, this is Sima Quanjia of the Sima family."

"Oh? It turns out to be the Sima family!"

Zhang Sheng pretended to be surprised.

"Zhang Sheng! Don't do anything wrong! I am related by marriage to Prince Ping Nan, and I have extraordinary connections in the court!"

"If you dare to mess around again, you will be punished sooner or later!"

"How many people's adopted daughters has this old pervert Shang Kexi taken in?"

Zhang Sheng looked at another in-law of King Pingnan who popped up and said with confusion on his face.

"Go back to the Marquis, there should be thirty or fifty of them."

"This old guy is still lustful even at his age. When Guangzhou is conquered in the future, I will castrate him myself." Zhang Sheng said lightly with contempt.

"what!"

The gentry in the lobby were all stunned.

"Zhang Sheng... you... you!" Sima Quanjia opened his mouth wide, too shocked to speak.

"Hmph! Since your surname is Sima, I will kill your mother."

"Since your name is Quanjia, then I will kill your whole family too!"

Zhang Sheng waved his hand.

"Come here, the Sima family in Foshan is well-informed and the evidence is conclusive. He himself will be executed in Lingchi and all nine clans will be destroyed!"

Zhang Sheng spoke calmly, as if he was letting people kill pigs and sheep.

All the gentry took a breath of cold air and couldn't help but shudder.

"Yes!" The soldier in front of him dragged Sima Quanjia down.

"Zhang Sheng, you must die a happy death!"

Sima Quanjia was extremely sad and angry and cursed angrily.

"I will cut off his tongue first, and then I will tell the whole family that originally I was not planning to implicate them. It was him, an old ghost, who insisted on spouting arrogant words."

Zhang Sheng said impatiently: "By the way, take some paper money to their ancestral graves. First, burn some paper to tell them about the ancestors of the Sima family. I, Zhang Sheng, don't want to crush their bones and spread their ashes."

"It's because the descendant of Sima Quanjia has a dirty mouth, so I, Zhang Sheng, had no choice but to dig up the ancestral graves of their Sima family."

"Ah——!" Sima Quanjia shouted crazily when he heard this.Bang bang!The soldier in front of him punched him twice, and Sima Quanjia, who vomited blood and had broken teeth, made a series of strange noises.

Seeing Sima Quanjia's fate, the gentry in Guangzhou Mansion felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and their whole bodies were as cold as ice.

"There are not many good people in the Sima family!"

Zhang Sheng cursed angrily, and his eyes fell on the other gentry again.

"What are you looking at! Why don't you explain your crimes clearly and strive for leniency? Are you going to be satisfied with your life and death and your ashes?"

"Master Hou, we really are not transparent!"

When a gentleman looked at the fate of the Sima family, his bones became weak.

Even if this dead person is wiped out, Zhang Sheng still wants to hold the shit basin on his head.

If his clansmen and ancestors were angry with him, Sima Quanjia would probably not die well even in the underworld.

Zhang Sheng's ruthless methods are really frightening!

"Hmph! I said you are transparent and you are transparent. If you behave well, you may be able to save your clan. If you dare to die without confessing, I, Zhang Sheng, am not a good person!"

Zhang Sheng smiled eerily.

"Master Marquis, I am willing to donate all my family property! I hope Master Marquis can spare this villain's life!"

A gentleman spoke.

By now, the gentry in Foshan also understood that Sun Kewang was interested in their family property.

In front of the front army, Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao retreated to Guangzhou city.

There is no way these people can compete with the Qianqian Army.

In this case, if you can't keep your family property anyway, you might as well actively donate your family property to save yourself and your clan!

"If all the gentry in the world were like this in the past, our Xiying and Chuangying would not be strong, and the world would not be like this!" A Daxi civil servant sighed.

People will always change. The gentry in the world have been in peace for a long time and have been domineering and blessed for more than 200 years.

When the chaos in our Ming Dynasty first started, everyone behaved in an unsightly manner.

But now, the world has been in chaos for decades, and the gentry who can survive naturally understand a lot.

Although the arrogance in his bones remains unchanged, he also knows how to pamper martial artists and donate some money and food to protect himself.

Some of the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty were as stupid as pigs like King Fu, but as soon as King Fu of Luoyang died, the King of Zhou in Kaifeng knew how to disperse his family wealth and reward Kaifeng's soldiers and people for resisting Li Zicheng.

After the Qing Dynasty broke its promise and got fat, and executed all the Fu clan members, the King of Han and others also knew that they would fight to the death against the Qing Dynasty.

This is true for the vassal king, and so is the gentry!
After decades of chaos, those short-sighted and stupid gentry have been almost eliminated.

The rest are the less silly ones.

In the face of death, it is natural to donate family property and preserve the capital of revolution.

"Master Marquis, I am also willing to donate all my family property, just to keep my family safe." Another gentry said.

"Master Marquis, I have thousands of hectares of fertile land and a family fortune of millions. I am willing to exchange this for my small life!"

For a time, the gentry in Foshan spoke one after another.

Everyone is quite enlightened. After all, they can survive in troubled times for decades and still keep their family business.

How could it be possible without any IQ and courage?

Faced with Zhang Sheng's methods and seeing the lessons learned from the Sima family, how could the Foshan gentry stand up to Zhang Sheng so hard?

Besides, it’s useless to hold it up, right?When a person dies, not only the family property is not saved.

Even the nine clans and ancestral graves are gone!This is a piece of cake!
It is better to hand over the family property readily and strive for a way to survive.

Then find a way to retain part of the family property and wait for a comeback in the future.

"Very good, very good." Zhang Sheng laughed loudly upon hearing this.

When the gentry in Foshan saw this, they also forced themselves to smile and agreed with Zhang Sheng.

"My family property!" Seeing that saving his life was not a problem.

The hearts of the gentry in Foshan began to bleed. Their huge family property was about to be occupied by Sun Kewang, which made them mourn in their hearts.

"Since you know each other so well, I, Zhang Sheng, can't say anything more. I don't speak secretly. The master of my country has an order. If you are willing to take the initiative to plead guilty."

"The old man will treat you leniently and allow you to commit suicide. Your whole family will be exiled to Guangxi and you will be punished with meritorious service!"

"What!" The Foshan gentleman, whose heart was still bleeding just now, was shocked.

"Master Marquis, why do we still do this after we have given away our family property!" A gentleman said with wide eyes.

"Master Marquis, you and the king can't be so ruthless. We have agreed to donate all our property! Why do you still treat me like this!" Another gentry said sadly and indignantly.

"Hmph! You have committed the serious crime of treason. The king only punished one of you and spared the whole family. It is already a great kindness. How can you be so ignorant of good and evil!" An Onishi civil servant yelled angrily.

"Hahaha! If you want to incriminate yourself, why bother?"

"We are loyal to the Qing Dynasty and donate food and salary without any complaints! How can we be transparent!"

One of the gentry said angrily: "Zhang Sheng! You and Sun Kewang are so evil. We have already sacrificed our family fortune, but you are still not satisfied and want to kill us!"

"Hmph!" Zhang Sheng sneered: "The major crime of rebellion you have committed is not to rebel against the Tatars, but to rebel against the Han people!"

"Zhang Sheng, what do you mean!" The Foshan gentry was shocked.

"When the king says you are transparent, you better be really transparent!"

Zhang Sheng walked down the stage and pointed to the few gentlemen who were not tortured.

"They have been in Foshan for many years and have been secretly providing intelligence and delivering money and food to Wang Xing and others!"

"Three years ago, Li Dingguo abandoned Guangxi and occupied Yunnan. Shang Kexi gathered tens of thousands of troops to attack Wencun."

"If they hadn't reported the message in time, Wang Xing's troops would have been brutally murdered!"

"The leader of my country has always respected those who fought against the Qing Dynasty. Foshan is a big county with many big families."

"Perhaps there are only three or four people who can remember the Chinese clothes and risk their own lives and annihilation to help the Guangdong Rebels resist the Qing Dynasty!"

"Since you have willingly become the lackeys of the Tatars, the king will not let you stay."

"What! Sun Kewang is planning to rebel!" The gentry in Foshan were shocked.

"Unbridled! The Tartars are ambitious and want to steal the world! We Han people will kill them all! How can we talk about treason!" Zhang Sheng shouted angrily.

"You gentry are sitting on the world's wealth! But you are still greedy! When the Tatars come, you shave your hair and change your clothes, and you are willing to be a lackey!"

"Today I, Zhang Sheng, just want to see how soft your bones are. Come on, please keep beating me!"

"Yes!" the soldier from the front army ordered and continued the torture.

"Ahhhh!" The screams sounded again.

"Hmph, you have such a little bit of backbone, but you still dare to bark in front of me, Zhang Sheng!" Zhang Sheng was extremely contemptuous.

In history, Zhang Sheng, who even tolerated Li Dingguo's Ling Chi, naturally looked down on these boneless gentry.

"Master Marquis, the king is really ready to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the power of our Han family!" A few gentry with backbone were ecstatic and asked quickly.

"That's natural." Zhang Sheng said with a smile: "Any gentry who is willing to serve as a lackey of the Tatars will die, and gentry like you who helped the cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty will die."

"Not only will the ruler not use torture to seize your family property, but he will also appoint you as officials to preside over the government affairs of Guangdong!"

"Okay, okay!" The remaining gentry's faces were all red and they were extremely excited.

"I am already over sixty years old. If I die with this rat's tail on my head, I will not be able to face my ancestors in the underworld!"

"Since Li Dingguo left, I originally thought that everything was hopeless, but I didn't expect that there would be a chance to restore the Han family's reputation in this life!"
