My uncle is Zhu Di

Chapter 104: Not even giving face to Xia Yuanji.

After Xu Qin finished speaking, he stared at Jiang Zuoxin. Jiang Zuoxin lowered his head and said nothing.

"Still not being honest, huh?" Xu Qin looked at Jiang Zuoxin with a smile.

Jiang Zuoxin shook his head and said, "I have written down everything I know. I really don't understand what Master Xu said."

"Oh, I don't understand!" Xu Qin looked at Jiang Zuoxin with a sneer. There was no way he didn't know.

At this time, one of Xu Qin's guards came in and said to Xu Qin, "Master, the Minister of Revenue Xia Yuanji wants to see you."

"Xia Yuanji?" Xu Qin looked at Jiang Zuoxin when he heard it.

When Jiang Zuoxin heard this, he raised his head, his eyes full of hope.

"Let him in!" Xu Qin smiled. He didn't expect that Xia Yuanji would come just after he dealt with Jiang Zuoxin. Xia Yuanji was no simple person. In history, he served as the Minister of Revenue for more than 20 years during the Yongle period.

Soon Xia Yuanji came in. Seeing Jiang Zuoxin kneeling there, he was stunned for a moment, but still walked in quickly. He bowed to Xu Qin and said, "This old man greets Master Xu."

"Minister Xia, why are you here?" Xu Qin asked with a smile, wanting to know whether Xia Yuanji came to see Jiang Zuoxin or to find him.

"I learned that you came to Minister Jiang's mansion, and it happens to be not far away, so I came to see you. Before, you burned down Yuan Fu's mansion and forced Yu Shiji. Basically, everyone with a little status in Nanjing City knows about it. I have to say that Mr. Xu is very fierce in doing things." Xia Yuanji said with a smile, stroking his beard.

"Oh, what's the matter with you looking for me? Is this the first time we meet? Maybe we have bumped into each other before, but this is the first time we have met formally." Xu Qin nodded and said to Xia Yuanji.

"Yes, but I have heard of Mr. Xu's name very well. How about we talk about it? There is no need to make things so complicated. The New Year is coming soon. There is no need. It is good for everyone to have a happy New Year." Xia Yuanji stroked his beard, looked at Xu Qin and said with a smile.

"You participated too?" Xu Qin asked Xia Yuanji with a smile.
Xia Yuanji immediately stopped stroking his beard, waved his hands and said, "Participate in what? Don't talk nonsense. I don't know anything. I just heard that you brought people to cause trouble for him, so I came here to mediate. I wonder if you can tell me more?"

"Oh, there are things you don't understand, which is strange. Minister Xia, I don't like to play dumb, it's boring! My family is a military family, I like to be straightforward. If you want to protect him, you can, then let's see what you can do. They want to kill me, but if they fail, they must pay a price. I will set the price!

Of course, you can also show your ability. I, Xu Qin, have never been afraid of these. As for mediation, humph, they want my life, I mediate with him, it's you, can you mediate? Besides, I don't even know you, you are his immediate superior, who are you to me? "Xu Qin said to Xia Yuanji with a sneer.

When Xia Yuanji heard Xu Qin say this, he was stunned. He did not expect Xu Qin to be so disrespectful.

"Mr. Xu, there's no need. Your father and I are very familiar with each other." Xia Yuanji looked at Xu Qin and wanted to bring up Xu Huizu, hoping that Xu Qin could give him some face.

"Really? I don't know! Besides, since you said you are familiar with my father, then do you know about this matter? You have thought of the answer. I can deal with them, and I can deal with you too! As a Minister of Revenue, I may not be able to deal with you head-on, and I don't have the wisdom to bring you down, but it's easy to kill you, and it's also easy to kill your whole family! You know I can do it." Xu Qin looked at Xia Yuanji with a sneer.

Xia Yuanji was a little confused at the moment. There was no way to talk to this guy in front of him. He didn't care about the pros and cons at all, and he wouldn't consider what means to use. He would just use whatever means was the most effective.

"Have you thought about it? Do you want to come to mediate? I didn't provoke anyone in the Weaving Bureau, but they want to kill me. Are you so powerful that you treat human life as worthless? Although I, Xu Qin, often fight, I have never killed anyone, and I don't want to kill you. You want to kill me just because of the Weaving Bureau?" Xu Qin sat there, looking at Xia Yuanji with a sneer and said.

Xia Yuanji sat there, not knowing how to answer Xu Qin's question. They had indeed done this thing, and now Xu Qin wanted revenge, and they couldn't find a solution for the time being.

"Then tell me, how can I calm down your anger?" Xia Yuanji had no choice but to ask Xu Qin.

"Simple, they all have to die. In addition, I know that they dare not do this without the approval of the Shangshu, so one or two Shangshu must die! As for who it will be, I don't know, maybe you, maybe someone else, it depends on who is stronger among you, otherwise, you won't remember it!" Xu Qin stood up and said to Xia Yuanji: "That's it!"

Xia Yuanji was horrified when he heard this. He was going to continue? He was going to kill the Shangshu? So he immediately shouted, "Wait, wait!"

"What's the matter? Or you can arrange a minister for me to kill." Xu Qin looked at Xia Yuanji and said with a smile. "There's no need to do this! This is a misunderstanding, and if you really kill the minister, you will probably be in trouble." Xia Yuanji looked at Xu Qin and said.

Xu Qin walked up to Xia Yuanji, leaned close to his ear and said with a smile: "Xia Shangshu, the merchant ship is back. I heard that it made nearly 20 million taels of silver. I don't want such a great achievement. I will use this achievement to exchange for your heads. Tell me, how will His Majesty punish me?

I have been in the imperial prison for almost half a month and I almost froze to death? How do you think His Majesty will compensate me? Is there any problem with killing a few people? "

Xia Yuanji looked at Xu Qin with wide eyes, and Xu Qin looked at Xia Yuanji with a smile.

"I'll ask them to compensate you with 100,000 taels of silver. Also, they will never target you again and stop investigating." Xia Yuanji stared at Xu Qin and asked.

Xu Qin smiled and looked at Xia Yuanji with contempt, saying: "One hundred thousand taels? Yuan Fu's father-in-law's family has a fortune of one million taels, or even more. There is also his family, Yu Shiji's family, and Liang Jieguang's family. You say, I will destroy their families and make a little money, but it is not just this amount, not to mention that I can make money myself.

Besides, you civil officials are bad and never keep your word! Can I believe it? Do I dare to believe it? When you have the chance to kill me, will you let me go? I might as well kill you guys now? Otherwise, you won’t know how to be afraid. "

After Xu Qin finished speaking, he walked outside. Xia Yuanji immediately chased after him. He couldn't let Xu Qin leave like this. If he left like this, who knows how much trouble it would involve.

Soon Xia Yuanji stopped in front of Xu Qin, bowed to him and said: "For this incident, we will personally apologize to you. All the six ministers will go to your house to apologize and promise your father that we will never target you again. In addition, we are willing to compensate you with 500,000 taels. How do you think?"

"Hahaha, hahaha, Minister Xia, I have to say, you are really bad. You treat me like a three-year-old child. You can't kill me, so you want to kill my father, right? Haha, and you come here together to apologize? What? You want to drag my father into rebellion? If His Majesty knows, he will have to kill my father first? I remember, Xia Yuanji!" Xu Qin laughed, then pointed at Xia Yuanji and said seriously.

Xia Yuanji felt a chill in his feet. Being targeted by Xu Qin was not a good thing.

"Xu Qin, we didn't mean that. We just want to apologize. Of course, if you don't believe it, we can use other methods." Xia Yuanji explained to Xu Qin.

"No need to apologize. I've told you that I'm going to kill a few people and no one can stop me. You, don't bother yourself and don't let me know that you are involved. If I knew, maybe I would go to your house one day. I heard that your little daughter is a famous talented woman in the capital, and she is so beautiful that she can shame the moon and flowers." Xu Qin waved his hand, then said to Xia Yuanji with a smile.

"Xu Qin, you!" Xia Yuanji pointed at Xu Qin angrily when he heard Xu Qin say this.

"Don't worry, I will personally discipline your daughter when I have the chance. If she doesn't listen, I will send her to entertain customers. You want to kill me, and you still want to make peace? Do you think I, Xu Qin, am so easy to talk to?" After Xu Qin finished speaking, he pushed away Xia Yuanji who was blocking his way. Xia Yuanji staggered and almost fell. Xu Qin took his men away.

Then he went to Liang Jieguang's house. Liang Jieguang knew that Xu Qin had gone to find Yuan Fu, and he also knew that he had gone to find Yu Shiji and Jiang Zuoxin. He even knew that Xia Yuanji went to Jiang Zuoxin's house to see Xu Qin, hoping to reconcile the matter. But unexpectedly, Xu Qin still came, which means that Xia Yuanji failed to reconcile.

At this moment, Liang Jieguang was sitting in the main seat in the living room. Seeing Xu Qin and his men step into his living room, Liang Jieguang stood up and saluted Xu Qin.

"I don't like nonsense. I guess you know why I came here. After all, the fire in Yuan Fu's mansion has not been extinguished yet. Either write down what you know, or I will burn down your house and then let my gang of young men go and play with your women!" Xu Qin said as he sat down aside, getting straight to the point without any nonsense.

"Please spare my family. I, Liang Jieguang, will be at your disposal!" Liang Jieguang stood up with trembling legs and bowed to Xu Qin.

"You are really good at thinking of good things. Your life cannot offset my anger!" Xu Qin said with a smile.

"I'll write it. I'll write it now!" Liang Jieguang bowed his head and said, there was no other way. It's not that he had never thought about committing suicide, but the news he just received was that even if you commit suicide, Xu Qin will not let your family go. He wants to kill them all. So, dying is easy, but it will be ineffective, and your family will continue to suffer. It is better to find a way from Xu Qin to save some of your family members first.

Xia Yuanji and the others can no longer be relied upon, and now they can only rely on themselves.

Xu Qin quickly got Liang Jieguang's petition, which did not mention those Shangshu. Xu Qin knew that those Shangshu must have known about it, and they must have hinted to these people to do this. He just didn't know whether they were all involved or only partially involved.
