Chapter 265 Killing the slaves and arresting the big salt merchants

"If Your Majesty kills me because I am too weak to do anything, and the government is lenient, it will be contrary to his ambition to be a wise and benevolent ruler!"

Zhang Siwei told Zhang Sijiao at home that he was the chief assistant according to the emperor's intention after the impeachment of the reformist minister Zhang Xueyan.

"Brother said yes!"

Zhang Sijiao nodded, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty must have regretted making your brother Jin the leader!"

Zhang Siwei said with a sneer: "Unless he refuses to allow Jiangling to share the Taimiao, he can only let Brother Wei be the head of the temple at that time!"

"If you want to stop Junfu, you have to use this kind of bait that Junfu can't refuse, so that he has no choice!"

"Then it will still be the speaker who will set up the stage to sing in the front, and the elder brother is only responsible for studying Li Xinghua (Li Shichun) in the first assistant position?"

Zhang Sijiao looked to Zhang Siwei and asked.

Zhang Siwei nodded: "Vegetarian meal in the corpse position is sometimes an attitude!"

"Brother said yes!"

"However, brother, it is better to resign as soon as possible, lest His Majesty hate you too much!"

Zhang Sijiao said.

Zhang Siwei said solemnly: "As long as he is willing to implement a lenient policy and abolish the Jiangling system, he will know his own way and leave, and he will not hinder his eyes!"

"Even if he wants to find someone like Yan Fenyi who will let him go and let him be an emperor who can do whatever he wants, it doesn't matter!"

"Even if, because of this, he is so selfish that he takes all the wealth of the people in the world and wants to spend extravagantly, he will not have any objections as a brother, and he will praise and appreciate his Long En!"

"It's not about being emperor according to Jiangling's last wish!"

In front of his younger brother, Zhang Siwei expressed his real request for Zhu Yijun.

"Where are they from Shenwu County?"

"Will they restore Jiangling's government after elder brother leaves or is deposed in the future?"

Zhang Sijiao asked at this time.

Zhang Siwei sneered: "Shenwu County, Xiao Gui and Cao Sui have the guts, but let them restore Jiangling's government again, force the world's rich and powerful to pay more taxes, and spit out the hidden fields that are flying and treacherous. , They don't have the guts! Brothers are cowards, so why aren't they cowards?"

Zhang Sijiao nodded after hearing this, and laughed triumphantly: "No wonder they will go to Shenwu County to persuade my brother to stay. I'm afraid they also intend to abolish the New Deal by the hand of my brother. For them who want the emperor and courtiers to help each other, if It might not be a bad thing to prevent His Majesty from adhering to the Jiangling system."

"That's exactly the reason!"

"Except for the Son of Heaven who was taught by Jiangling to be the ruler of Yao and Shun, and insisted on insisting that the people of Jiangling should perish and his government should not perish, no one really wants to stick to Jiangling's reform ideas, and no one wants to continue to embarrass him and only think about beauty. The bureaucracy of the world."

Zhang Siwei nodded and spoke.

"Without Yuan Fu like Jiang Ling to take care of the daily chores for him, the emperor will not be able to hold on for long, at least now the Six Departments should not be able to stand it anymore!"

"There are so many proposals to discuss resolutions and come up with plans without delay. For the ministries with only one minister and two ministers and each department with only one doctor, it is tantamount to exhausting them or forcing them to resign. "

"This dynasty has fewer officials and more officials, which is suitable for lenient government and inaction, not for strict investigation and pressure."

Zhang Sijiao continued to say with a smile.

"That's right!"

Zhang Siwei couldn't help but put his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "Unless the emperor can be like Taizu, he would rather die himself than be lenient in governing!"

"The winter solstice is over now, I have to go back to Yangzhou!"

"But in terms of Yanzheng, can I also let my brother find someone to impeach him Hai Gangfeng?"

"This person has always been the governor of Nanzhi. Those stoves in Lianghuai Salt Industry seem to have a backer, and they have lost a lot of profits to those stoves and salt merchants who work for us."

Zhang Sijiao asked about Zhang Siwei.

Zhang Siwei lowered his face, then nodded.

Zhang Sijiao was overjoyed by this, and immediately boarded a ship to Tongzhou the next day.

He didn't intend to contact the officials in the northern capital to impeach Hai Rui. After all, there are too many guards in the northern capital, so he planned to go to the southern capital to contact the officials of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate and Nanjing Sixth Division to impeach Hai Rui.

For this reason, when Zhang Sijiao was resting in Linqingzhou, an important city on the canal, he went ashore to a bank, took 5 taels of silver, and prepared to go to Nandu to manage it.

But Zhang Sijiao was just about to go ashore that day, and when he told the people who carried the silver box to be careful, he saw a large group of Jinyi guards surrounded him.

Seeing this, Zhang Sijiao was shocked.

But Zhang Sijiao reacted quickly, and hurriedly ordered Zhang Xiu, the leader of his family, "Take a few people to dive and leave, and go back to Beijing to tell the uncle that our Zhang family is being targeted by Jin Yiwei!"

Then, Zhang Sijiao ordered Zhang Min, the leader of his other family, "Take a few people to Linqing Chaoguan and ask for help!"

Both Zhang Xiu and Zhang Min nodded in agreement, and then led people to run from various places.

Among them, Zhang Xiu ran towards the canal with five people from the Zhang family, and when he reached the canal, he shouted: "Jump!"

But at this time, twenty or thirty swimming Jinyiwei suddenly appeared in the canal water, and all of them held bows and crossbows. It didn't take long for them to buckle the mechanism and shoot at these Zhang family members.

"what!"

Several servants led by Zhang Xiu were shot and fell to the ground one after another.

And he himself was hit by arrows in the abdomen and thigh and fell to the ground. Then he watched as Jin Yiwei who came ashore pulled out a short knife and put it on his throat, and Jin Yiwei took out golden sore medicine to heal his wounds.

At the same time, Zhang Min was blocked by Jin Yiwei who suddenly appeared from the warehouses around the pier.

Whizzing!

When a row of crossbow arrows shot over, Zhang Min and others also fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Zhang Sijiao's face became even more ugly.

"Second Lord, these Jinyiwei are obviously prepared, we should have been targeted long ago."

"We may still underestimate the emperor who grew up in the palace. Zhang Jiangling probably didn't teach him to use more arbitrariness and less use of eagles and dogs."

"In addition, the money we gave to Zhang Jing probably didn't work!"

Qiu Xiao, the disciple next to Zhang Sijiao, spoke up.

Zhang Sijiao gritted his teeth and said: "Fucking fucker, Zhang Jing is a bastard who only collects money and doesn't do human affairs. Sooner or later he will be hacked into pieces!"

"what!"

Not long after, Lu Qiancheng, a hundred criminals in Dongchang, strode towards Zhang Sijiao with a knife in his waist.

At the same time, the captain of Jinyiwei who followed him drew his sword and killed the slaves brought by Zhang Siwei one by one on the spot.

The screams came out one after another.

Zhang Sijiao brought too many entourages, and Dongchang Jinyiwei was worried about leaking secrets, so people knew in advance that Zhang Sijiao was arrested and prepared, so they simply killed a group of ordinary slaves who could not know the core secrets of the Zhang family. Kill some people first.

The power and interest struggles within the ruling class are often so cruel.

And since they are attached to the powerful and powerful and want others to be slaves to avoid taxes and corvee, they have to be psychologically prepared to be killed for no reason like this.

When Zhang Sijiao watched his slaves fall one by one, and the blood gradually flowed out from these fallen slaves, and gradually gathered into blood porridge, and these Jin Yiwei walked over from the blood porridge of these corpses as if nothing had happened. , also swallowed hard a few times, and then had to soften his knees and kneel down:

"Excuse me, the superiors, what did the students do to make the superiors take the trouble to come in person!"

Lu Qiancheng shook off Yesa, squatted down with the knife, looked at Zhang Sijiao and said with a smile:

"We are members of the special case team for the excavation of the imperial tomb of Fusi in Beizhen. Yu Xiaolian, the owner of Yongchang Commercial Firm in Wuchang, Huguang, revealed that the instigator of the excavation of the imperial tomb was not Xu Huating, but your second master Zhang who asked someone to imitate Xu Huating." Jie notes; Huixiang, Xu's maidservant, also admitted that you have indeed been to Xu's house, she even served you, and even knew that you had a palm-sized birthmark on your buttocks, and obtained Xu Jie's private seal through it. So , now I have to come and get you."

After speaking, Lu Qiancheng took out a driving sticker: "You can see for yourself, this is a criminal driving sticker!"

Zhang Sijiao hurriedly raised his horrified head.

At this time, Lu Qiancheng smiled and said: "It's not just you who will buy the Sixth Division, our factory guard also has its own people in the Sixth Division."

"I didn't expect His Majesty to be so concerned about this matter!"

"It's just that Xu Jie has become the culprit, so the case should be dismissed. Why does your factory guard want to investigate again?"

Zhang Sijiao asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Lu Qiancheng said: "You should ask the higher ups!"
