Chapter 92: Arresting Liu Jian, the former chief assistant of the cabinet (Part 2)
At this time, Liu Jian didn't know what was happening outside. He was annoyed by the people making trouble outside and even walked towards the outer courtyard himself.
Suddenly, the door of Liu Mansion opened and Liu Jian walked out.
Behind him were more than a dozen brothers and nephews from the same clan in gorgeous clothes, as well as hundreds of slaves, all of whom were holding sticks with arrogant expressions.
Liu Jian directly ordered: "Beat me! Beat these gangsters to death! After beating them, hand them over directly to the government office, and let the government office collect the bodies!"
When Wu Xingyuan, the boy student, heard that Liu Jian said that these people were unruly bandits and were going to be killed, he was also a little anxious and scared. Because Zhang Yong had said that he would make the decision for him, he hurriedly knelt down to Zhang Yong and said, "This father-in-law Make the decision for us! We are not gangsters, we just want Mr. Ge to make the decision for us and let his family return our land!”
Here, Liu Jian also noticed that so many officers and soldiers had appeared outside, and he couldn't help but shout to stop the powerful slaves in his house.
At the same time, Liu Jian also saw the eunuch Zhang Yong, his heart sank, and he began to have a premonition that something bad was going to happen.
At this time, Zhang Yong happened to have finished reading the boy student Wu Xingyuan's first prize, and said with a smile: "Today my father-in-law will be your master. Come and kill Yan Yang, the prefect of Henan who has seized people's land!"< br>
As soon as Zhang Yong finished speaking, he looked at Liu Jian.
Liu Jian shouted: "Wait a minute, Zhang Yong, you are no more than a minister of the inner court, so what qualifications do you have to kill an official of the imperial court who is close to the people!"
"My father-in-law is not qualified, but the emperor is!"
As Zhang Yong spoke, he cupped his hands toward the north, and then took out the imperial edict: "According to the decree! Liu Jian and Xie Qian committed regicide and disrupted the government. They violated the righteousness of the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty. They are heinous crimes. They were invited by hundreds of officials to plan for the future of the Ming Dynasty." , led Zhang Yong, who was left behind in Fengyang, to take Liu Jian and Xie Qian’s people to the capital and kill their disciples and old people!”
Zhang Yong continued: "According to the wishes of the imperial court, your disciples do not need to be brought to the capital. If you see one, you will kill one, and if you see a pair, kill a pair! He, the prefect of Yan, has admitted that he is your student, so I can naturally kill him." Got it!”
After Zhang Yong said this, Liu Jian and the Liu clan people behind him were greatly surprised!
At this time, the officers and soldiers under Zhang Yong had already arrested Yan Yang and were about to behead him on the ground.
Seeing this, Yan Yang hurriedly shouted to Liu Jian: "My mentor, save me, my mentor, save me!"
Click!
Zhang Yong directly chopped off Yan Yang's head with a knife, and the blood was sprinkled in front of Liu Jian.
Liu Jian was completely shocked and did not recover for a long time.
The other Liu clan members present were also stunned!
The dignified prefect was killed just like that? !
The protégé of the chief minister of the cabinet was killed like this? !
Is the imperial court really coming to arrest us and confiscate our Liu family? !
The people were also speechless!
This father-in-law really made the decision for us and killed the prefect? !
At this time, Liu Xi first asked Liu Jian worriedly: "Master, what should we do now? Is the court going to punish our Liu family to death?"
"Erect!"
Liu Jian did not answer Liu Xi. At this time, he was just completely angered by Zhang Yongshan's behavior of killing the prefect Yan Yang! So he instinctively scolded Zhang Yong and shouted:
"You are trying to murder Zhongliang! I am incompatible with you!"
As he spoke, Liu Jian pointed at Zhang Yong and cursed.
Zhang Yong also laughed and wiped the blood on the knife: "Liu Jian, you really don't shed tears until you see the coffin. You are very tough. Li Dongyang has already done it. Why are you still quibbling? People like Zhang Yu and Liu Wentai are still... Remember, they also recruited you three cabinet ministers He was the mastermind behind the regicide. When the ministers found out, they were all indignant. They all called you ambitious, ungrateful, traitors and loyal people. They forced His Majesty to issue an edict to kill all ten of your clans. This shows how infuriating what you have done is. ! ”
After listening to Zhang Yong's words, Liu Jian almost fell to the ground, but he still held the crutch tightly, but cold sweat broke out on his head.
Liu Jian looked at Zhang Yong and the officials behind him, as well as the common people present and the prefect Yan Yang whose head was missing, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
However, Liu Xi and other Liu clan members panicked and looked at Liu Jian, both in disbelief and worry.
"They are falsely preaching the imperial edict! They are making false accusations! Kill them!"
Liu Jian roared wildly and said to the people present: "Folks, these eunuchs are here to harm the village. They want to take away your fields. Get rid of them quickly!"
"Harming the village? Who is harming the village? I believe the people can see it clearly!" Zhang Yong said to Wu Xingyuan and other people: "Fellow fellow villagers, my father-in-law is an eunuch. What Liu Jian said is right. , but today Zhang is here to make the decision for you, to be precise He said, Zhang is here to make decisions for you on behalf of the emperor. It is the Liu family that is taking your land. If you want to get your land back, disperse. Don’t be seduced by the rebels. Otherwise, you will be like this prefect. Those who rebel against the Party will not be tolerated.”
Zhang Yong said and ordered: "Fire the gun!"
At this time, the people could distinguish right from wrong, and knew that there was no benefit in staying there, but they did not go far, and they also expected Zhang Yongzhen to make the decision for them and return the land to them.
The firearms soldiers under Zhang Yong came up in an orderly manner with matchlock guns, and lit the matchlocks, facing the hundreds of slaves in front of Liu's door!
These firearms soldiers were seconded by Zhang Yong from the Shenji Battalion in order to scare these powerful slaves. After all, people in this era already knew that firearms were more terrifying than bows and arrows.
The powerful slaves of the Liu Mansion were fine bullying the common people, but when they saw the regular officers and soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, they immediately peed their pants.
Out of hundreds of slaves, only a dozen or so loyal slaves rushed forward and were beaten full of holes.
The rest were running in other directions.
Even Liu Xi, Liu Jian's nephew and the current housekeeper of the Liu Mansion, was so frightened that he knelt down: "My father-in-law, please forgive me! The student really doesn't know that my uncle has done such a treasonous thing! If the student is willing to sever ties with his uncle, no matter what, I hope my father-in-law will spare my life!”
Liu Jian's face turned dark when he saw this. He pointed at Liu Xi and was speechless for a long time. Then he fell to the ground slumped and sighed:
"You're good Li Binzhi, you're good Li Binzhi, aren't you a good strategist? What's the result of your plan?"
Liu Jian said that he wanted to hit the wall and commit suicide directly!
But Liu Jiang just ran halfway and saw the hard wall and thought it would be painful if he bumped into it. He was a little afraid and just stepped back.
Liu Jian saw a knife on the ground that had been thrown away by a servant in his palace. He quickly picked it up and wanted to pull out the knife and kill himself, but he still couldn't bring himself to cut his own neck.
Zhang Yong, who was so frightened that he wanted to personally stop Liu Jian from committing suicide, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. He only ordered the officers and soldiers to hold the other Liu family members, and then came to Liu Jian in person: "You committed suicide!"
< br>
Liu Jianze suddenly hugged Zhang Yong's feet: "Eunuch Zhang, I beg you, you kill me, kill me, as long as you kill me, I will tell you the location of my private bank account!" < br>
Zhang Yong did not expect that Liu Jian, who was so majestic and did not take him seriously before, would also beg for mercy from him.
"Okay, tell me where the bank is?" Zhang Yong asked.
Liu Jian was busy telling Zhang Yong about the bank.
Zhang Yong nodded after hearing this, and then ordered: "Keep the traitor Liu Jian under close guard and don't let him die, otherwise you will pay for it! Understand, and take someone else to dig under the three green pines outside the Liu family's ancestral grave." One foot deep, load the silver there and prepare to transport it to the capital!”
Liu Jian was so angry that he pointed at Zhang Yong: "You! You! You lied to me!"
Zhang Yong thought to himself that he couldn't afford to spend so much money. Once the emperor sent someone to find out, he would be dead. Liu Jian was obviously trying to harm me.
Therefore, Zhang Yong just smiled and said: "So what if I lied to you!"
Zhang Yong waved his big hand as he spoke: "Copy it for me! Copy it hard! Don't let anyone go, don't keep a penny!"
As Zhang Yong spoke, countless officers and soldiers rushed into the inner courtyard of the Liu Mansion. At the same time, many clerks from the Royal Taxation Bureau also rushed in behind the officers and soldiers with abacus in hand. A person in charge directly ordered: "Put the gold and silver here. The land deed account book is placed here, the man bets on this thing, the woman bets on this thing!”
Naturally, Zhang Yong didn't go and search the house himself, but he was also supervising from the side, and ordered: "Be quick! Don't delay when people search your home! Don't see the beauty unable to move her legs and take advantage of it, don't try to put it in your pocket." Once my father-in-law and the inspection team discover the fortress, they will be used to delay the military aircraft. You will be punished with death! Anyway, Your Majesty has decreed that those who confiscate homes will be benefited after the new year. There is no need to worry. As for women, there is no need to worry. When the time comes, you will go to the Jiaofang Division and take the money given to you by the court after the property is ransacked. It doesn’t matter which one you go to first!
Don't worry about the scholars saying you are vulgar then. If you don't go to the Jiaofang Division, how will their Etiquette Department support the scholars in the world? To put it bluntly, the scholars you are arresting now are the ones raised by bitches, so don't be polite to them. , Catch those who deserve it, and beat those who don’t obey! ”
After hearing this, the officers and soldiers who searched the house became more active in confiscating Liu's house.
Seeing this, Liu Jian couldn't help but wailed in pain: "Oh my god! How could this happen! My Liu family is finished! I, Liu Jian, have failed my ancestors!"
Thank you to the book friend Canmeng Yicuo·Just for the 200 starting coin reward for the flower blooming Pinellia. Thank you to the book friend Pokemon My Favorite for the 100 starting coin reward. Sorry, I went too far with the drama today and forgot to update it. There is something special. Let me explain, no matter how loyal and traitorous Zhang Yong is, he is not a villain yet. After all, his interests are still there. It is consistent with Zhu Houzhao, and it may change later. Originally, the death of Liu Jin probably had some impact on the ministers. In short, Zhang Yong still had to use it in the early stages of this book. From a rational point of view, there is really no way to use it. From God's perspective, he came directly to kill Zhang Yong, and this would easily make the other Eight Tigers feel uneasy.
