My uncle is Zhu Di

Chapter 102 You Have to Fight for Your Own Life
After Xu Qin finished speaking, Yu Shiji's face changed drastically, and those guys began to drag those women.

"Xu Qin, do you have to do things so drastically?" Yu Shiji shouted loudly.

Xu Qin heard this, smiled at Yu Shiji and said, "You want to kill me, and you still say I'm ruthless? Yu Shiji, I have no grudges against you. I, Xu Qin, like to fight, but I haven't bullied you, have I?"

And those young men continued to drag Yu Shiji's daughter-in-law and daughter to the next room.

Yu Shiji was about to collapse. Yu Shiji's son wanted to rush over to save his wife, but was kicked to the ground by Xu Qin's guards and children.

Yu Shiji immediately kowtowed to Xu Qin: "Xu Qin, I will never dare to do it again. Please give me a way to live, give me a way to live!" As he said this, he kowtowed on the ground.

"Ha, a way to survive? A way to survive is something you fight for yourself, not given by others! Before you want to kill me, you should consider what the consequences will be if you fail to kill me." Xu Qin said to Yu Shiji with a sneer.

"Dad, Dad, help, Dad!" Yu Shiji's daughter shouted loudly.

"Dad, help!" Yu Shiji's daughters-in-law were also crying and shouting. They were about to be dragged to the side rooms by those young men. They knew that once they went in, their lives would be ruined.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" Yu Shiji was sitting on the ground, shouting in pain.

As soon as Xu Qin raised his hand, those people all let go of the young women.

"Write a petition yourself and explain what happened clearly. You can choose not to write it, or you can commit suicide. The men in your family will die with you, and the old and ugly women will be buried with you. I still have a use for these young women." Xu Qin stared at Yu Shiji coldly and said.

Yu Shiji looked at Xu Qin blankly and muttered, "I told you, the whole family will be executed!"

"I've told you, if you die, they don't have to die. I'll protect them." Xu Qin said to Yu Shiji.

Yu Shiji looked at Xu Qin.

Xu Qin continued, "You know I can keep it, it all depends on how much you write!"

"I'll write. I'll write!" Yu Shiji stood up with difficulty and walked towards the study. Xu Qin looked at his guard, and the guard followed Yu Shiji in with a few people.

Xu Qin stood there, looking at the fire next door, which was still very big, and couldn't help but sneer.

After Yu Shiji entered the study, he sat on the bookcase and was in a daze. He didn't want to write, but he had to.

Once it is written, those ministers involved in this case will probably hate me to death, and even want to take revenge on me and my family. However, if Your Majesty punishes them severely, they probably won't have the chance to take revenge on me, but they will be despised by their colleagues and scholars.

But if he didn't write it, Xu Qin would really kill his family, and the woman would also be insulted.

Xu Qin is not a court official. When he does things, he doesn't care whether you have evidence or not. Once he has confirmed something, there is no room for argument.

Seeing Yu Shiji sitting there motionless, Xu Qin's guards immediately went over to grind ink. After grinding, they dipped the brush in ink and handed it to Yu Shiji.

Yu Shiji picked up the brush, gritted his teeth, and wrote down everything he knew. He had to write it down. He didn't know how much Xu Qin knew, but the fact that Xu Qin was able to find him and Yuan Fu meant that Xu Qin knew a lot.

Soon, Yu Shiji finished writing, closed the question book, came out, and handed it to Xu Qin.

Xu Qin unfolded the petition and saw that the highest level of involvement was with a few vice ministers. Xu Qin did not believe this, so he raised the petition in his hand and said to Yu Shiji: "Are you trying to fool me with these people?"

Yu Shiji said anxiously: "No, it's really these few people!"

"Can you guys accomplish such a big thing? Without the involvement of the Shangshu? Huh?" Xu Qin stared at Yu Shiji coldly and said.

Yu Shiji sighed and said, "Master Xu, I'm not sure whether those ministers know about it. I think they know about it. Of course, they also acquiesce, but there is no evidence to prove that they have spoken. Master Xu, if you sit in their position, they will not express anything clearly. Some hints are enough, but these hints cannot be used as evidence.

If Master Xu wants to seek revenge on those Shangshu, you can find any Shangshu at random. They are all related to this matter, but they are all unrelated!"

Xu Qin nodded when he heard it. It was true. As someone in a high position, would he easily take risks himself?
"The one who colluded with the eunuchs in the palace was the Right Vice Minister of Rites? The one who killed the captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and wanted to freeze or starve me to death was the Right Vice Minister of War, Liang Jieguang?" Xu Qin asked again.

"Yes!" Yu Shiji nodded and said.

"Okay, Jingchang, send it to the palace for my aunt, and tell her not to give it to His Majesty so quickly. I want to check everything one by one. Have a happy New Year!" Xu Qin said, and handed the question book to Xu Jingchang. "Master Xu, I, I!" Yu Shiji looked at Xu Qin worriedly. If this question book was submitted, he would definitely die, but he didn't want his family to be implicated.

"Jingchang, after sending it up, tell my aunt that she hopes to save Yu Shiji's family and let them return to their hometown!" Xu Qin said to Xu Jingchang.

"Okay, brother!" Xu Jingchang took the question book and nodded.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu!" Yu Shiji bowed to Xu Qin.

"Would you like me to have a cup of tea?" Xu Qin looked at Yu Shiji with a smile.

Yu Shiji was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Xu Qin's other purpose was, but since Xu Qin said so, he could only make a gesture of invitation and asked Xu Qin to go to the living room.

Xu Qin smiled and nodded at Yu Shiji, then walked inside with his hands behind his back. Yu Shiji followed behind him, and of course, Xu Qin's guards.

After Xu Qin arrived at Yu Shiji's study, Xu Qin's guards took the kettle to boil water. The guards would not dare to be careless about what Xu Qin was going to eat.

Xu Qin looked around Yu Shiji's study, which was filled with many books. Xu Qin nodded, but Yu Shiji just stood there, not daring to move.

"Please sit down. I have a few questions to ask you. I hope you can give me some advice." Xu Qin said as he sat down and gestured to Yu Shiji.

Yu Shiji sat down with a pale face. He knew that he would not be able to appear in this study tomorrow.

"I don't understand why you want to kill me? I have no grudge against you, and I didn't block your financial path! This time it was the eunuchs and ladies-in-waiting in the palace who wanted to kill me. I understand because I cut off their financial path. Those princesses wanted to kill me, and I also understand because my aunt kicked the Chen family cloth shop out. But why do you want to kill me?" Xu Qin sat down and asked the question in his mind. Although he had a vague answer in his mind, Xu Qin still wanted to ask clearly.

Yu Shiji was sitting there, completely listless and depressed. After all, he knew that he was a dying man.

"Tell me about it?" Xu Qin sat there and asked Yu Shiji.

Yu Shiji raised his head and glanced at Xu Qin: "What's the point of saying this?"

"Yes, if what you said is useful to me, I can plead with my aunt and ask her and His Majesty to spare your life. I can even say that I can just demote you and transfer you to another position. It is not impossible, but I need to know something I don't know. Let's see what you say?
I gave you a chance, I hope you will seize it, Yuan Fu I gave him a chance, he couldn't seize it, so even if the court doesn't deal with him, I will deal with him. "Xu Qin said while looking at Yu Shiji with a smile.

Yu Shiji swallowed his saliva. Xu Qin's conditions were very tempting. After all, he didn't want to die, and he didn't want his family to be broken up.

Xu Qin sat there, looking at Yu Shiji with a smile.

Yu Shiji could only say: "In fact, we don't really want to kill you. Killing you is not our goal. Our goal is the Weaving Bureau!"

"Why?" Xu Qin asked knowingly, but Yu Shiji had no idea that Xu Qin knew this purpose.

“Because the money of the Weaving Bureau is not under control, Your Majesty collects money through the Weaving Bureau, and then uses the money of the Weaving Bureau to make up for other purposes. If it is just to dredge the canal, or to appease the people’s livelihood, no one will have any objection to this.

But much of the money from the Weaving Bureau was used by Your Majesty for war or preparation for war. For example, the cotton cloth woven by the Weaving Bureau was sent to the northern army as military supplies, thus out of the control of the Ministry of War. "Yu Shiji said to Xu Qin.

Xu Qin nodded, and then asked: "Well, isn't this a good thing? It saves money for the court, and this is money that Your Majesty made himself."

"But we don't want to fight." Yu Shiji looked at Xu Qin and said.

Xu Qin stared at Yu Shiji.

"We don't want to fight a war. Once a war breaks out, military generals will be promoted and their status in the court will become higher and higher. In addition, it is not a good thing for a country to be warlike! Your Majesty is a military general and is decisive in killing people. It is not safe for us either.

You know about the Jingnan Campaign, and you also know how many ministers died in the capital!
Your Majesty kills people without any reason, he kills whenever he wants, and all of this comes with the support of military generals. Therefore, if you want to disintegrate and reduce your Majesty's killing, you must reduce the army's external warfare!
Or to put it more directly, let the court run, everything is under the six ministries and nine departments, the power of the court cannot be separated from the six ministries and nine departments, even the Five Military Commandery is unnecessary, the Ministry of War is enough. "Yu Shiji looked at Xu Qin and sighed.

Xu Qin heard it and nodded. This was similar to his guess, but there was still a discrepancy, so Xu Qin continued to ask: "It's not just that simple, right? I'm just a consultant to the Weaving Bureau, and I don't actually want to go to the Weaving Bureau. If you were more informed, you would know that I was forced to go there by my aunt."

Yu Shiji nodded and hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to tell Xu Qin. If he told Xu Qin, he didn't know how many people would hate him to death. But if he didn't tell Xu Qin and what he said made Xu Qin unhappy, he would die first without anyone hating him to death.
