Ming politicians

() At the time of Yin, the people of Jiangning County were alarmed.

Thousands of sergeants from the inspection department surrounded Kuang Siming's mansion with water, and all the people who came out of Kuang's mansion were arrested on the spot. Regardless of gender, they were all tied up, stuffed with cloth balls on their mouths, and said no. Speak up.

These servants of the Kuang Mansion who were arrested were trembling, and their faces were bloodless.

As for the nursing homes outside the Kuang Mansion, they had already been subdued. Although they were powerful, they didn't dare to make a move against the sergeants of the inspection department.

Su Tiancheng was riding a fine horse, looking at the gate of Kuang Siming's mansion with a smile on his face.

Things went smoothly beyond his imagination. Six letters were found from Yan Ding's team, and one of them was an order, which stated the required supplies, including armor, bows and arrows, steel knives and other weapons.

What is even more unexpected is that the inscription below is the Zhenghuang Banner in the middle of the Eight Banners of Manchuria in Houjin.

You must know that the Zhenghuang Banner is the head of the Manchurian Eight Banners. When it was established, the banner owner was Grandma Hachi, and now the banner owner is Huang Taiji. If you trade with such an army, you will have to kill everyone.

As for the letter from General Eight Banners, Su Tiancheng was not too concerned.

In his opinion, Kuang Siming is already dead. No matter how much connection he has behind him, as a modern person, he doesn't want to get involved too much, so there are still many things to do in the future.

Kuang Siming wandered around in the house, falling into a frenzy. The officers and soldiers of the inspection department surrounded the mansion, and he felt that something was wrong. It is said that his background is extraordinary. Su Tiancheng is just the county magistrate of Jiangning County. I can't help myself at all, how could such a thing happen.

There are more than a thousand guards in the mansion, but under the current situation, these guards would never dare to fight with the sergeants of the Jiangning County Inspection Department.

When the door was smashed open, Kuang Siming forced himself to be calm and walked in the front.

Seeing Su Tiancheng and Qu Qingze leading the crowd in, he mustered up his courage, cupped his fists at Su Tiancheng and opened his mouth.

"My lord Su, I don't know what the Caomin committed. You Lao lord is so aggressive. If you break into the mansion so forcefully, don't you ignore the law of the Ming Dynasty? Caomin is a serious businessman. If you don't give a reason, Caomin will Go to the capital to sue the imperial court."

Su Tiancheng smiled coldly.

"Come here, Kuang Siming is suspected of collaborating with the enemy and mobilizing a crowd for rebellion. He has been tied up for me. The rest of the family members should gather together and wait for processing."

A sergeant had already stepped forward, ready to make a move.

The guards around Kuang Siming raised their steel knives one after another, surrounding Kuang Siming in the middle.

The atmosphere was a little tense for a while, and a fight was about to begin.

"Kuang Siming, I didn't expect you to be so courageous. Do you want to kill your whole family? If I don't have conclusive evidence, how can I go to war?"

Kuang Siming's body trembled, he had already seen the brown leather bag in Qu Qingze's hand, he was too familiar with this bag, and he was even more aware of what was inside it.

In an instant, Kuang Siming's face turned pale, he understood everything, he never thought that Su Tiancheng was so vicious, needless to say, the [-] Yanding troops had already been wiped out.

After a stalemate for only a few minutes, Kuang Siming spoke dejectedly.

"Everyone put down their weapons and don't resist."

Soon a sergeant came forward, and Kuang Siming was tied up like rice dumplings, and was taken away directly. The guards who put down their steel knives all knelt on the ground, holding their heads in their hands.

The house raiding has begun, which is the most important thing.

In order to be able to ransack the house smoothly, Qu Qingze and Sun Yuankun had made strict requirements when they were in the barracks. If anyone dared to hide money privately during the ransacking, they would all be fired.

The mansion suddenly jumped up and down, and cries came out, women's cries, children's yells, sergeants' scolding, and bursts of screams came out continuously, and countless torches lit the huge mansion. , illuminated brightly.

The surrounding residents woke up a long time ago, and they came to watch the excitement one after another, but the sergeants of the inspection department, including the county yamen servants, marked out a warning zone, and no one was allowed to approach.

News spread quickly.

At the same time, the homes of the other [-] salt merchants were not living in peace. However, no soldiers entered these salt merchants' homes for the time being, but everyone in the mansion was grounded, and the salt merchant himself was taken away by the sergeants. .

Su Pingyang was the busiest person. With more than [-] people with him, he started to get busy. The gold and silver found were continuously collected and piled up in the yard, and then some soldiers put the registered gold and silver into the Inside the box and outside the mansion, there were horse-drawn carriages waiting for them to transport all the gold and silver treasures to the treasury of the county government.

When the time of Chen arrived, the entire Jiangning County was in a commotion.

The salt merchants in Jiangning County are so dignified, not to mention the Jiangning County Yamen, even the Yingtianfu Yamen, they all come in and out casually, and they have a good relationship, but at this time, they are unexpectedly taken over by the new county magistrate Su Tiancheng.

Kuang Siming, the largest salt merchant, was even ransacked.

Everyone knows what it means to be ransacked. It is a capital crime. I am afraid it is a crime of ransacking and beheading.

For a time, there were rumors everywhere in the county.

However, the law and order was very stable. The county government officials, including some sergeants from the inspection department, lined up in the main street and patrolled continuously.

The magistrate is so powerful, it must have been arranged, who would cause trouble at this time.

Su Tiancheng and Qu Qingze sat in the side room of Kuang Mansion.

The butler of the Kuang Mansion was brought in.

After the housekeeper knelt down, Su Tiancheng spoke with a smile.

"You know about the situation in front of you. I will give you a chance to make meritorious deeds. If you tell me where the gold, silver, grain, and salt of the Kuang Mansion are hidden, I will keep you and your family safe. If you don't want to Say it out, I guarantee that you and your family members will all be killed, and as for the family members, they will be assigned to Yueji."

The butler turned pale with fright, and knelt on the ground trembling.

"My lord, if there is anything you need, the grass-roots must say it, I must say it, and I beg you to give me a way out."

"Very well, then it depends on your actions."

Immediately, a sergeant took the housekeeper with him, and began a targeted ransacking of the house.

This can save a lot of time. If you search for gold, silver, treasures and supplies in the huge Kuang Mansion aimlessly, you don't know how long you will be busy.

Nearly [-] sergeants have been busy for more than four hours, and the horse-drawn carriage transporting the treasure has traveled countless times.

The gold and silver treasures of the Kuang Mansion were continuously transported out.

Even Qu Qingze was surprised by Kuang Siming's wealth, and was speechless.

At the end of the day, Kuang's mansion was looted.

There are many strengths.

The sergeant escorted Kuang Siming's family and left the mansion.

Kuang Siming's family members were all thrown into prison, and as for the servants of the nursing home, they were temporarily detained in the inspection department.

Kuang Siming's family, nearly 200 people, men, women, old and young, soon filled the county government prison to the brim, and there was no room left.

Su Tiancheng felt some compassion, mainly because he saw the miserable situation of the women and children.

At this time, Qu Qingze was a little more cruel than him.

Just when Su Tiancheng was considering whether to keep some of Kuang Siming's family members in the mansion, Qu Qingze spoke. He told Su Tiancheng that he must not soften his heart. Follow the court's will, and you must not be soft-hearted at will, and you must be put in prison.

Su Tiancheng returned to the county government office.

Su Pingyang, whose face was pale with exhaustion, waited outside the second hall.

Lu Tianming and Liu Zhongji, who were stunned, were also here.

Before the morning hall, they knew the news, but Su Tiancheng sent a message, telling them to wait in peace at the county government office and not to take any action.

A group of people quickly entered the second hall.

"My lord, 20 taels of gold and 600 million taels of silver were copied from Kuang Siming's mansion. It is too late to estimate the rest of the jewels in detail. It is estimated that the value of these jewels is more than 200 million taels of silver."

"As for the grain and salt in the mansion, Mingri will start counting and transporting them."

Su Tiancheng took a deep breath. According to this calculation, the treasure found in the ransacked home was already worth 1000 million taels of silver. How rich is the salt merchant, and these are by no means all of Kuang Siming's property.

In the second hall, it was very quiet, not to mention Lu Tianming and others, even Qu Qingze was speechless in surprise. He originally thought that it would be great to be able to copy out a million taels of silver.

After all, Su Tiancheng is the county magistrate. At this time, everyone is waiting for him to speak.

"Very well, this matter, all of you here, is rotten in your stomach. If someone leaks the news, I will never be polite. Lord Lu and Lord Qu, including Liu Dianshi, you draft a memorial quickly and report it directly to the emperor. Secretary Fang Su is in charge of continuing to clean up the property, Su Jun and I are directly in charge of the interrogation, and the results will be presented today."

The crowd dispersed quickly, and time was precious.

The influence has already gone out, mobilize the whole body, at this time, the entire Nanjing city may be a sensation.

I have to do all the things well in the shortest possible time. The so-called ruthless and merciless to do big things, now is not the time to be kind. If you are not careful, you will be turned over by others, and it will definitely be a big trouble.

In today's world, anything is possible.

The dead can't be reversed. If a person dies in vain, many people above are naturally relieved and feel that they won't be implicated. Otherwise, Su Tiancheng doesn't have the energy to deal with the entanglement of these forces. It's useless .

Kuang Siming's wealth, he did not expect that there would be so much. If the gold and silver found were worth more than ten million taels of silver, it can be estimated that there is still a large part of the treasure that has not been discovered.

This is his best chance.
