I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 1074
However, it was too late, if the Zhu family was just a local bully in the fish and meat township, Wang Fuxing might just take the life of the second son Zhu and spare the rest of the Zhu family.

But since they have hooked up with those people, I'm sorry, even the Heavenly King Lao Tzu can't save them.

When Wang Fu brought the dying Second Young Master Zhu to Zhu's compound.

They saw a miserable scene.

The entire Zhu family compound was on fire, and from the outside, one could vaguely see people running around, howling.

Some people even desperately passed through the fire and fled outside the door.

However, what was waiting for them was a crossbow arrow shot from nowhere.

He firmly nailed the man who managed to escape to a position not far from the door.

Needless to say, it can be guessed that around the Zhu family, similar situations are happening all the time.

Such a method of internal and external suppression, I wish the family from top to bottom, it is estimated that no one will survive.

The Second Young Master Zhu still breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, seeing the tragedy of Zhu's family with his own eyes, his eye sockets were almost bursting with frightened eyeballs.

He never thought that since he was a child who was rich and well-clothed, rampantly rampant, and never regarded people other than Zhu's family as human beings, he would actually see the day when Zhu's family was slaughtered like this.

Seeing that there were dozens of people in Zhu's family, there was no possibility of surviving, he finally asked the words after holding back all the way.

"You... who are you, why are you so cruel!..."

At this time, there was no wave in Wang Fu's eyes, as if he was doing a very ordinary thing.

He said lightly,

"Who are we, I guess you have already guessed in your heart, wouldn't it be superfluous to ask like this!"

"Are you really Jin Yiwei..."

Wang Fu chuckled,
"That's right, that's not right..."

After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at him, but pinched his nose and said to the guard beside him,

"Keep down the movement, don't disturb the young master's elegance!"

The guard nodded, without saying anything, mentioned the half-dead Second Young Master Zhu, and walked towards the scene of the fire.

At this time, Second Master Zhu had already predicted his next fate.

But the unwillingness and fear in his heart still made him roar hoarsely,

"Even if you are members of the imperial court, you can't be so devoid of conscience. I refuse to accept it. Even if you become a ghost, I will go to Lord Yama to accuse you of your crimes..."

Wang Fu laughed again,
"What's the devil of Hades? In the corner you can't see, things that are more cruel than hell are happening every day. Some people are more terrifying than evil ghosts."

He turned around silently, as if he had just done a very trivial thing.

A guard came forward to report,
"My lord, almost all the men of Zhu's family were killed and buried in the fire, and the women and children were imprisoned in a separate wing. How should they deal with it!"

Wang Fu waved his hand impatiently and said,

"Young and ignorant ones will be sent to Jiaofang Secretary, and the older ones will be sent to Lingnan..."

The so-called Jiaofang Division, some people may mistakenly think that it is a place dedicated to cultivating officials and concubines for the imperial court, but it is not.

In fact, there are both men and women in Jiaofangsi, but one thing is the same, that is, those who assign Jiaofangsi are collectively called official slaves.

There are not only the family members of prisoners, but also prisoners who have returned from foreign wars.

In general, the Jiaofang Division is actually a department that specializes in managing official slaves, and the training of officials and Ji is just one of the branches.

It is easier to understand the distribution of Lingnan.

It is true that Lingnan at this time has not been fully developed, and only a small number of ethnic minorities gather there.

This has led to frequent disobedience to the discipline of the king in that place.

Whether it was the Ming Dynasty or the later Qing Dynasty, or even the Yuan Dynasty, which was invincible in the world, they all had a headache for that place.

It is obviously uneconomical to send troops to suppress the troubles there.

Later, someone came up with the idea that it is better to migrate the Han people to cultivate land there, and slowly assimilate the ethnic minorities there.

Originally, this was also considered a very good way.

However, the Lingnan area is full of jungles, miasma is pervasive, and the land is rugged and steep. There are few places suitable for farming, so there are very few people who are willing to go there.

In the end, the imperial court had no choice but to force those criminals who were guilty but not dead or their family members to fill in.

Over time, distribution to Lingnan has become a common means of dealing with criminals.

These two decisions of Wang Fu may seem cruel, but they are actually very kind.

Otherwise, a bastard like the Second Young Master of the Zhu family who dared to make the emperor kneel down for him and let the concubine accompany him would have a minor consequence if he ransacked his entire family and left him alone.

It is not impossible to punish the three clans and the nine clans.

Wang Fu did not kill them all, but spared the women and children of Zhu's family, which was considered an extrajudicial favor.

The guard nodded, bowed and retreated.

Then another guard stepped forward to report,

"Master Chief, Chief Jiang is encircling and suppressing the bandits who came to support Zhu's family. There are not enough manpower. Will the subordinates and others rush to help?"

Wang Fu nodded and said,
"There's something wrong here, you all go over and help!"

"But young master..."

"Don't worry, with our family here, nothing will happen!"

……

The wedding was lively from five or six o'clock in the afternoon until nearly ten o'clock.

Although there was a small episode in the middle, it did not affect the joyous atmosphere of everyone.

A luxurious feast of five taels of silver per table.

These ordinary people who were invited from the street probably won't be able to eat it once in their lifetime.

Such a good thing, even if it's attending a wedding of someone you don't know, what's the point?

Some people even heard that there are free banquets here, and they don't need to pay with gifts, so they ran home and called the whole family to eat and drink here.

The ten tables of banquets that were originally prepared were no longer enough.

With a big wave of Li Tian's hand, ten tables were sent from that restaurant, and only then was it barely served.

Five taels a table, ten tables are only 50 taels, counting the next ten tables, it is only 100 taels of silver.

100 taels of silver may be a sky-high price to ordinary people, but to Li Tian and others, it is nothing at all.

On weekdays, he would eat a bear's paw, ginseng antler or something, and it would be several times more expensive than this.

With 100 taels of silver, I can make myself and Sun Ruowei and others happy for a whole day, make a couple happy, and make an old man burst into tears of joy.

It is a luxurious banquet that can allow hundreds of people to eat a meal, and they may not have the opportunity to afford it in a lifetime.

For Li Tian, ​​the 100 taels of silver was very worthwhile.

Besides, he doesn't need to pay the money, the money contributed by the Second Young Master Zhu is enough.
