Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 380 Let’s see who can survive to the end

The guards in the prison were whipping those people in the cells, especially the princes and princes of the county. They were beaten until they lay on the ground, groaning, and some howling. One of the old jailers came over and kindly reminded them: "Stop screaming. If you ask me to continue beating you, I will tell you that this time the Marquis will interrogate you, let alone beat you. Even if I kill you, you guys will be blind!"

"He, why does he have it? We are the clan. If we make any mistakes, the clan will punish us. What qualifications does Lin Cunde have to beat us?" One of the princes of the county shouted angrily.

"Hey, if you say that, just pretend you didn't say anything and keep shouting!" The old jailer didn't want to argue with them. They were already here and still shouting, that's an act of seeking death!

What happened to the clan members? There are so many children in the clan! Is it possible to be lawless?

Besides, who among the people of the Ming Dynasty does not know that Lin Cunde has made great contributions? Even if he beats and kills the princes and princes of those counties, what will happen? How could your Majesty kill Lin Cunde?

If Lin Cunde is not killed and those vassal kings dare to cause trouble, it may not necessarily be Lin Cunde who dies, but it may also be their vassal king. Therefore, those people now do not think that those vassal kings are Lin Cunde's opponents!

The main reason is that Lin Cunde made great contributions and had a profound influence on the Ming Dynasty. The key is that His Majesty now has great trust in Lin Cunde!

In the afternoon, the people from Beizhen Fusi began to interrogate the gamblers. Lin Cunde did not go to listen, but only sent his own bodyguard to listen!

Lin Cunde asked people from Beizhen Fusi to ask some major questions, asking the gamblers whether they knew about the internal affairs of the gambling house. Not to mention, some gamblers knew about it. They all said that they were Wang Ying's son and Those princes and princes have very powerful backstages!

Jin Yiwei's several actions were known to them in advance!

Because some people from Jinyiwei are also working together!

Lin Cunde actually knew about it and almost forgot about those people. Lin Cunde immediately sent people to arrest them. No matter if they were from a thousand households or a hundred households, they would be arrested first!

Their names were included in the list given by Zhu Qiyu. If we don't arrest such people, why would we keep them?

Soon, all those who had invested in Jinyiwei were also captured!

In fact, after the gambling house was taken over by Lin Cunde, they knew something was wrong. They learned that Wang Zhi had not been arrested, so they wanted to go to Wang Zhi, hoping that Wang Zhi would find a solution.

But Wang Zhi hated those people to death. If it hadn't been for them, he wouldn't have been caught by them or manipulated by the princes and princes!

Therefore, when those people came to see Wang Zhi, Wang Zhi said, "Daddy is not allowed to see visitors!"

When those members of the Jinyi Guards saw that Wang Zhi was not coming out, they knew something was wrong and wanted to go back to make arrangements, but they also knew that they couldn't run away!

Therefore, he hid some money in some secret place and told his wife and children that although they might be caught, they would most likely not die. After they were free, they could survive after getting the money. Very good!

When the people from Beizhen Fusi came to arrest them, they did not resist. The people from Beizhen Fusi also began to ransack their homes, and all their silver coins were confiscated!

At the same time, wherever the princes and princes lived, whether they lived in their own residence, the prince's mansion, or in a restaurant, all their homes were confiscated!

Lin Cunde will not let them go!

The civil servants outside knew that this was done and were very happy. They hoped that Lin Cunde would take bigger and bigger actions. Some civil servants had already written letters to familiar vassal kings. They wanted to inform those vassal kings of the situation in the capital as quickly as possible. , let those feudal kings take action!

At night, all the gamblers and people who worked in the gambling houses were interrogated.

In fact, it's nothing to do with them, but Lin Cunde wants to teach them a lesson, especially those gamblers. Some of them have actually gone bankrupt long ago. If they are not punished, they will not have long memories after they are released!

"For those gamblers, lock them up for a month and whip them five times a day. Don't beat them to death. I'll pay for the medicine. You send them to buy medicine. After the beating, apply medicine to them. Make sure they don't die!"

But if he really dies, then he dies. It is also a disaster to keep this kind of gambler! "Lin Cunde said to the Qianhu from Beizhen Fusi next to him. "Yes, sir, but someone just came to inquire, hoping to redeem those gamblers. They also know that those gamblers did not commit any serious crimes, no. He deserves to be imprisoned! "That Qianhu said to Lin Cunde.

Lin Cunde sat there and pondered for a moment, and said: "You can redeem someone if you want. You can redeem him after five days. During these five days, you will be whipped ten times every day. All gamblers who want to redeem them can get one hundred taels of silver! Just keep this money." In Fusi, Beizhen, for expenses!"

"Master Xie, can you just keep this money?" the Qianhu said happily.

"It can be done, I will talk to His Majesty! However, don't kill those who have not been redeemed. Gamblers, if you gamble, your family will be ruined. Their families will also suffer, and they will have no money. , just for one month, teach them a lesson, hope they behave well after they go out! Of course, if there are special circumstances at home, you can let them go out early! It doesn’t matter, the law is ruthless, but people still have feelings. If there are changes in the family, you can let them go out early! They go back!" Lin Cunde continued to urge the Qianhu.

"Yes, sir! Thank you, sir!" Qianhu was very happy. This was an extra income. Of course, they did not dare to force the family members of the gamblers to get money. If Lin Cunde found out about it, he, Qianhu, would There is no need to be a householder.

Lin Cunde is also preparing to go home at this moment. Those princes and princes of the county can ensure that they do not die. As for their father, the prince of the county and their princes, Lin Cunde does not care and will let them beg for him!

Lin Cunde clearly wanted to tell them that either the feudal king would be responsible for this matter, or he would ask the feudal king to push out the civil servants. If they didn't push them out, he would not mind killing them!

Anyway, I have done too much credit, I need to make mistakes, I need to let Zhu Qiyu grasp his handle, I need to let Zhu Qiyu see his dark side!

They came here with the opportunity, why don't you use it?

I offended the vassal king and those civil servants, just playing with the honorable nobles. It is impossible for the honorable nobles to oppose Zhu Qiyu. No matter who becomes the emperor, they are only loyal to His Majesty, and they cannot be loyal to themselves!

Therefore, it is best to play like this. Although I have some military power, I do not have the power to mobilize the army on a large scale. To mobilize the army, you still need the consent of the Ministry of War, which means your Majesty's consent!

Without Zhu Qiyu's consent, he would not be able to mobilize the army on a large scale!

Therefore, when Lin Cunde was sitting in the imperial prison this afternoon, he looked at the information and came up with a way to deal with the feudal kings. He just stood up. Anyway, he was justified. Who among them would dare to kill Wang Zhi? I dare not kill Wang Zhi, but I dare to kill those princes and princes!

This time, I want to make the feudal king and those civil servants ride on a tiger and let them know how powerful I am!

Soon, Lin Cunde returned to the door of his mansion. It was already dark now. Some people were standing at Lin Cunde's door carrying gifts. When they saw Lin Cunde getting off the carriage, they immediately raised their hands. One of the middle-aged men raised his hands to Lin Cunde and said, "But The Marquis of Luling, the younger one is the steward of King Qin’s palace in the capital, and he came here specially to visit the Marquis of Luling!”

"No time!" Lin Cunde went in without looking back, there was no rush!

"This!" The housekeeper was stunned when he heard what Lin Cunde said. Zhu Zhiyi, the cousin of Qin King Zhu Zhi, was also arrested. Zhu Zhiyi's father was Zhu Shangli, the king of Yongxing Jian County!

The stewards of King Qin's residence in the capital were actually aware of Zhu Zhiyan's activities in the capital, and all of this was ordered by the King of Qin. King Qin Zhu Zhi was in Xi'an and could not return to the capital, but that did not mean that the princes and princes could not return to the capital!

Lin Cunde returned to the mansion. After Lin Cunyi learned about it, he immediately rushed to Lin Cunde's study!

After entering Lin Cunde's study, he saw Lin Cunde sitting there making tea. Lin Cunyi quickly said to Lin Cunde: "Xiaowu, several stewards of the vassal kings came to ask for an audience today, including King Qin, King Qing, King Dai, King Shen, and Han. King, all the stewards of the five kings in the capital came to ask for an audience. They heard that you had arrested the crown prince of their branch!

Now there is news outside that you are going to be in trouble this time. Those are the princes and princes of the county, and their status is higher than yours. Moreover, after those princes know about it, they will definitely not get past you easily! "

"Well, I know about this!" Lin Cunde smiled and nodded. The five kings Lin Cunyi mentioned just now are all in Shanxi and Shaanxi. They knew that Yu Qian was going to Shanxi and Shaanxi to recommend, so they were very anxious. After all, their five kings were in Shanxi and Shaanxi. Many local officials have had interests with them for many years!

They were worried that the anti-corruption campaign in the court would implicate them and harm their interests. The New Deal would not be beneficial to the vassal king, and would even be harmful. Therefore, they had been sending people to operate in the capital, and those who sent people to operate in the capital, Not only these five kings, there are also many vassal kings from other places, but they have not stepped forward yet!

This time Lin Cunde arrested eight princes and princes. The eight princes involved were all vassal kings in places where the New Deal had not yet been implemented!

"Xiao Wu, is this a big trouble? I heard that a minister is going to impeach you, saying that you insulted the Ming Dynasty clan and privately executed the Ming clan! This matter should have been managed by the clan, but you are like this If you do it, you will trample the royal family to the ground!" Lin Cunyi still looked at Lin Cuunde worriedly and asked.

"Don't worry, it's okay. I know it well. In the past few days, no one has come to see me!" Lin Cunde confessed to Lin Cunyi.

"Yes, it's just, eh, okay, I understand!" Lin Cunyi saw that Lin Cunde was so confident. Although he felt relieved, he was still a little worried. The news discussed in the restaurants outside was all detrimental to Lin Cunde!

How could Lin Cunde not know the news that was unfavorable to him? Of course he also knew who released it. It was none other than Chen Xun and his group. The New Deal had screwed them up.
