Chapter 369: Confiscating the House Is Very Happy

The Luo family is one of the most powerful families in the capital. They own thousands of acres of fertile land, five or six thousand villagers, more than a dozen three-story mansions, and more than a dozen shops. They are indeed rich.

Zhu Youjian has a special liking for confiscating property. The Luo family, who secretly made small moves, is destined to be in big trouble.

In the barracks of the Royal Third Division, an officer wearing a wolf head double sword armband, with a serious expression and a cold and intimidating look, is calling the roll.

"Wei Guoyong."

"Here." Platoon leader Wei Guoyong stepped out in response.

"Zheng Hao."

"Here."

"Luo Youbang."

"..."

More than a dozen officers and soldiers who performed well in training were selected. In the envious eyes of all the soldiers, they followed several officers wearing wolf head double swords and left.

The wolf head double swords are the mark of the first special forces blood wolf established and trained by the Ming Emperor Zhu Youjian himself. The treatment is so good that people are envious, but the hell-like intensive special training makes countless soldiers feel chilled and terrified.

As soon as Wei Guoyong and others entered the training base of the Blood Wolf Special Forces, they were arrested.

When Wei Guoyong and others were still confused, they saw that the division commander Gao Jie, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, was standing next to Rong Mo, who was smiling as bright as a chrysanthemum. They were about to shout that they were wronged, but the two second lieutenants who came in immediately made them look pale in an instant.

Knowing that many of his subordinates were bribed and betrayed, Gao Jie, as a division commander, was ashamed to death. He felt that he had failed the emperor's high hopes. He was so angry that he wanted to kill these traitors with his own hands.

The two second lieutenants following him were both bribed by Wei Guoyong, but one of them was a spy of the Jinyiwei. The other one was brave enough to surrender after repeated weighing and became the most important witness.

Seeing the two people, Wei Guoyong and others knew that the matter was exposed. Without waiting for Rong Mo to torture them, they all cried and confessed.

After Gao Jie got the evidence, he personally led the guard company and a battalion of soldiers to surround Luojiazhuang. However, something unexpected happened during the arrest.

Luo Renjie, the head of the Luo family, was killed by a close guard with a sword. He was dead. The guard committed suicide by taking poison. The clue was interrupted. Gao Jie was so angry that he jumped to his feet and shot several Luo family guards who dared to resist and were injured and captured by the soldiers on the spot.

The soldiers searched the village and found enough weapons and equipment such as swords, bows and arrows to equip 3,000 private soldiers, and even more than 100 old-fashioned muskets.

In fact, all the nobles and powerful families have these weapons. When they are equipped with the farmers in the village during wartime, they become private soldiers. The difference is only the number.

However, the Luo family was still accused of privately storing weapons and intending to rebel. The family was confiscated and exterminated. All the family property was sealed and stored, waiting for execution after the public trial.

Except for the stewards, all villagers were innocent. They were pardoned by the emperor, re-registered, and given land, becoming free civilians.

All villagers who regained their freedom were so moved that they knelt down to thank the emperor, shouting that the emperor was wise and gracious. Every family set up a longevity tablet to worship Emperor Chongzhen, wishing him a long life.

Looking at the boxes full of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings being sent to the palace, Zhu Youjian smiled so hard that his mouth could not close. It was good to confiscate the house, and it made money quickly, hehe.

With a wave of his red pen, he shot them all.

Not long after the last public trial ended, a new public trial was held again, and people from all over the city came to watch.

This time, the public trial was presided over by Gao Jie, the commander of the Royal Third Division. After sentencing Wei Guoyong and other traitors in the army and the Luo family tyrants, they were shot on the spot.

The new soldiers of the Royal Third Division were in charge of the execution. Teams of soldiers took turns to carry out the execution. For a while, the sound of gunshots rang out, and corpses fell in a pool of blood.

The people did not sympathize with the fate of the Luo family and Wei Guoyong, but applauded and shouted that the Luo family not only oppressed the people, but also wanted to rebel, so they should be killed.

All the male members of the Luo family, even the direct female relatives, were executed, but the singing girls, concubines, and maids were innocent. According to the old rules, the beautiful ones were sold, and the ugly ones were sent to the Jiaosifang to be official prostitutes.

Now that the Jiaosifang has been abolished, it is not worth much to sell people, and most of the women who were sold have a tragic fate. Zhu Youjian has other arrangements.
