Chapter 336: It's Finally Time to Make a Move
For this, Li Hongyuan looked indifferent, first to appease his daughter-in-law, and the others all stood aside.
Jing Wan quickly calmed down, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, regaining her composure, but there was an indescribable coldness in her eyes, "How to deal with it?"
"The officials involved in the Chuan Zhou Mansion have all been imprisoned, and the others have also been arrested. You can rest assured that even if you are transferred, even if you are an official in Beijing, you will never escape."
"That's good." Let these people who have lost their conscience escape, and the sky is really blind. Jingwan didn't know that in the life her husband lived through, this major case of annihilation of humanity caused by greed was never shaken out from beginning to end. Died so silently.
The black-clothed guards were dispatched, and the family members of the people involved, whether they were masters or slaves, were all arrested, and the master's house was also sealed.
Naturally, some people resisted during this process, but who are the black-clothed guards? That is, a group of cold-faced murderers, even the old and weak, women and children will not be merciful. Weeping a lot, shaking and shaking each other, supporting each other, "Old Madam, what the hell is going on? There's no news at all. If you say arrest someone, arrest someone, Princess Jin clearly..." "Shut up." Heiyi Wei coldly drew his knife.
Similar words were staged in almost every official residence of the arrested officials. Because the exact reason was unknown, it was only considered as a matter of salt administration. Therefore, Jingwan became a typical example of taking money and not doing things. There were guards in black. , did not dare to scold, but in his heart, he cursed Jing Wan from head to toe, from the inside to the outside, the eight generations of ancestors cursed over and over again.
Until all of them were sent to the government's prison, and they met with the head of the family who had taken off their official hats and official uniforms, they couldn't help but collapse, and the tears were like broken beads, "Master (Master), what the hell is this? What's going on, what's going on?" Struggling to snatch the sticker in the cell forward, trying to find out, the others also burst into tears.
"Howling, howling, hurry up." The handle of the knife fell, but he didn't recognize anyone very much.
Seeing the pampered wife, the excellent handsome or smart children, and even the baby grandson, at this moment, I couldn't help but burst into tears, trying to grab the hands of my relatives, but the relatives were merciless. If you push it away, it may be closed to a more humid, darker place, where insects, rats and ants are rampant. How can they bear it, how can they bear it!
Li Suyan held the waist knife, his back was straight, and his face was stern, "Now I know I regret it? In the past three years, have you been haunted by tens of thousands of unjust souls in your sleep? Now you know how to cry? Have you ever heard their cries during the sea of fire? Tens of thousands of lives were sacrificed because of your insatiable greed. How innocent are they? Even if you only leave 10% of the silver taels, they will survive and even kill you. Thank you Dade, but you want to kill them all? As long as you have a little conscience, you won't do things that are inferior to pigs and dogs. The prince is still thinking of lenient punishment, and told me to say that the ten tribes are not enough to be angry with the common people. "
This is for them, why isn't it for those family members, tens of thousands of lives, still want to complain?
As a family member, I know very little about this kind of thing. Seeing their stunned and unbelievable eyes, they face it facelessly, with their hands covered, kneeling on the ground, crying, and people seem to be stupid. Only vague words like "I was wrong" and "I'm sorry" remained.
Li Suyan was unmoved, "What do you do, take it down, watch it, and wait for the release."
Maybe it's the reason they know, but no one said anything, just fell silent all of a sudden, lost their anger, there may have been a trace of hope at first, but now all of them have turned into despair, tens of thousands of lives, how can we tolerate them still alive.
Li Suyan knew that this was only temporary. When they couldn't stand the environment in the cell, they would break out. At that time, they wouldn't care whether they were close relatives or not. They would resent and curse, and would not care that a large part of the money was actually used for them. body. Only then will these culprits truly suffer from the pain. After dealing with it, go back to reinstate.
Li Hongyuan nodded, and then asked him and Yu Zhongqing to write separate letters, and rushed to the capital, and then he also wrote his own opinion on the matter of greed for ink, and it was still worth keeping Jingwan's "greed for ink". As far as the eye can see, the rest is listed in a list, and how much these officials are greedy for ink. If nothing else, just the latter two additional things will definitely give Emperor Lecheng a myocardial infarction.
After the myocardial infarction is over, he still has to praise him for doing a good job, and he will accept Li Hongyuan's advice 100% - this son is so good, he is so caring, while saving his face, the loss of the treasury is also recovered, Although I always contradicted him in the past, I still took him as an old man in my heart, but it was a bit duplicitous.
Although it is impossible to get a reply from Emperor Lecheng within a day or two, Li Hongyuan can completely predict how he will react. The only expression is: Hehehe...
As for whether the quotation presented by Yu Zhongqing and Li Suyan will cause his blood pressure to soar, it is not within Li Hongyuan's consideration, but it is certain that he will not die. people and fold themselves in.
"So many officials have been taken down, how to deal with the government affairs of Shannan County and Chuanzhou Prefecture?" Jing Wan was a little worried. No one is in charge of this, and there may be troubles below. If there is any trouble, it will directly affect the common people.
"When I was ready to do it, I had already asked the accompanying officials from other places to gather in Chuanzhou Mansion, and they would arrive tomorrow at the latest. Don't worry, there will be no problem. Those who have been imprisoned will never come out alive. , at this time it is a sure thing
, the capital will select officials as soon as possible, and then take office at the fastest speed. If it is transferred from the local area, it will be a month at the latest. If it is transferred from Beijing, the speed will be faster. "
Jingwan nodded, "Fuze, Shannan County, look at these officials now, you can see how rich the oil and water are, and now several important positions have been vacated at once, the people in the capital are afraid that they will be arguing again, this official chooses Can the election be quicker?" He was very skeptical.
"The current official of the Ministry of Personnel is your grandfather. Although it involves high-ranking officials of the second and third rank, the Ministry of Personnel has no direct appointment power. However, Luo Shangshu's previous recommendations have all won the heart of that person. I can't escape the mess with my brothers, and now I'm still 'guilty'. Jumping up and down at this time will definitely attract that person's dislike. They are not fools, but the interests are not so easy to give up. So, nine times out of 10, you will try to force your grandfather."
Jingwan smiled, "I've been thinking too much, my grandfather is 'upright' and can't be slow."
"Isn't it upright?" Li Hongyuan rubbed his chin, that old fox, although the Luo family is not very rich, but they also have a certain background, at least they are not short of money, so he never cares about money, he is also a scholar-officer, but compared to For other people, he is more human, and his ambitions are big enough, but he is not objectionable. It's just the experience of Jingwan in his previous life that still makes him feel bad about the Luo family. Of course, some things make sense. For one thing, it wasn't as heavy as it used to be.
"What, isn't it?" Jing Wan glared at him.
Li Hongyuan touched her face, "You said yes." He smiled sincerely.
However, sincerity is actually proportional to perfunctory. How much sincerity is to her is essentially perfunctory. Jingwan was too lazy to care, that was because she knew very well that her grandfather was really not an upright person. If you continue to fight, you will probably become more and more guilty.
"Everything has come to an end so far, and the rest is basically just the end, we can play all the way, fill up Wanwan's experience, collect things along the way, and fill Wanwan's small treasury. Isn't it easy? "At this stage of the matter, if other counties and their prefectures are not acquainted, naturally don't blame him for being rude. Jiangnan and his party, playing with Wanwan is the key, and the rest are just incidental.
Jingwan was speechless, did you say that?
When things got to this point, Jing Wan was relieved. Of course, for Li Hongyuan, it was not taken as one thing from beginning to end.
They are relaxed, but others are not at ease. From the officials who went home yesterday, down to the people of the whole city, yesterday the city was closed, but today it was beaten again early in the morning. However, so many important officials were imprisoned at the same time, how? Being able to calm down, many wealthy businessmen could no longer sit still and tried their best to find those officials who were temporarily safe.
There are so many people who are not qualified to stand in front of Li Hongyuan, naturally they don't know anything, and the other personnel present at the time, whether they were transferred after that, or those who were also in the Chuanzhou Mansion at the time but were not involved, are more or less. I can guess it all, but I don’t dare to say nonsense. With the great Buddha, Prince Jin, he is so ruthless and merciless, and he doesn’t care how many people he offends. Don't touch the internal affairs at all, go home after finishing things, socialize, banquet, etc., after all, they are not clean.
In the two days after crossing the Baifang, the business of the various brothels and painting boats was very light.
However, because of such chaos, the fact that Prince Jin took the young son on a trip didn't cause any trouble. To be happy or to regret.
In the evening, someone took the way of Min County, went straight to Pei County, and hurriedly entered Pei's main house.
When Patriarch Pei heard that Li Hongyuan had been assassinated, Lei Ting, a person who had always been "well-mannered", was furious and smashed the cup in his hand, causing the people who reported the report to bleed. "You bastard, why didn't you report such a big thing earlier?" You must know that the grandson is difficult to deal with, and he also knows that the descendants of the previous dynasty's royal family are in his hands. It has something to do with it, and Patriarch Pei hated so much that he wanted to chop up all these people and feed them to the dogs.
The person who was smashed didn't even dare to cover the wound with his hands. "Because the assassination failed, all the people involved were wiped out, and the whole city was blocked the next day, so it was too late..."
"Is this what I'm talking about?" Patriarch Pei's voice was so cold that he made ice scum, "If such a big thing is not reported to me, I will make an assertion and eat the gall of a bear and a leopard? The whole army is wiped out? That's good, all die. It's good." No matter what these people have done in the past, what contribution they have made to him or to the Pei family, now that they have become obstacles, they will be mercilessly abandoned, and it is best for them all to die.
After calming down a bit, Patriarch Pei didn't particularly care. After all, those people didn't even know who they were serving, and there were only a handful of people who knew his existence. Moreover, under normal circumstances , all acting in the name of his "son".
As for Li Hongyuan's safety, he didn't care at all. Although Li Hongyuan was very important to him, if he died like this, it would only show that Li Hongyuan was incompetent. In this way, it was naturally not worth his energy and effort. Of course, if It must have been a different face when we met.
Therefore, Patriarch Pei was so angry, more than half of the reason was that those people made their own opinions and provoked his authority.
"Go back to Chuanzhou Mansion immediately, and keep an eye on what's happening on Prince Jin's side. Regarding the assassination, so far, let the people of Chuanzhou Mansion stay for me, no matter what happens to anyone. , or if there is another thing that makes an assertion, don't blame the old man for being ruthless."
"Yes, patriarch."
After the people left, Patriarch Pei fell into contemplation. In fact, since "meeting" his grandson, he felt that everything was not going well, and nothing was satisfactory. It's not that he is keeping others from following his plan, but that he seems to be stuck in a quagmire, restrained everywhere, but he is not quite sure whether the obstacle is artificial or accidental.
After thinking about it, Patriarch Pei felt that he should not continue to wait like this. He probably knew what the situation in Jiangnan was now. He had seen the style of Prince Jin, but no one dared to brush the tiger's whiskers easily. , and let's talk about private matters, there's nothing wrong with it.
Patriarch Pei went to the back house to find his wife, Li Hongyuan's blood-related grandmother.
Patriarch Pei used to be keen on creating people. When he had no sons and daughters, he basically lived in the main courtyard. As his first wife, don't mention how happy he was, his heart was completely planted in this man's hands. , it's just that after the birth of the first son, this situation has changed, but it is not too much. At least half of the month is spent in the main courtyard. Sometimes it was miserable, but most of the time it was good. After all, even if the concubines and daughters were born, the husband did not spoil those concubines much, and always stood by her side until the third child was born, and her sister died. marry in.
Although the current patriarch's wife of the Pei clan is the successor, she was no different from her sister when she married. When she was at her parents' house, she heard her sister say how good her brother-in-law is. It's not that I don't envy her. Even when my sister passed away, the family wanted her She was even overjoyed to continue the marriage, and after she got married, she really got the same treatment as her sister. However, over time, she discovered that things were not the same at all. What this man called good was in essence. Not because of love, but because of the descendants, because the sons and daughters are more honorable, so let the wife have more children, and keep giving birth until they can't give birth.
It's so sad to get such a truth. However, a heart has been given away. Could it be that the man could be turned away because he just wanted to give birth to a child?
Just at that time, she was pregnant again, just in time, just think about it while she was pregnant in October. As for whether she will figure it out, God has already given her the answer. When she gave birth to a child, she hurt her body and could not give birth, she felt sad At the same time, but also a little happy. A woman, even a dodder flower, once she makes a decision, she can still have her own strength and wisdom.
Take good care of the children, be virtuous and generous, persuade your husband to soak in the rain and dew, and spread branches and leaves for the family.
In this way, she has kept her position, even if her husband does not live in the main courtyard, she will not be able to shake her position.
Patriarch Pei is virtuous, but he follows the rules. Every month unless there is something wrong, he will stay in the main courtyard on the 15th day of the first day. Later, when he is old and can't have children, he will still stay in the main courtyard for another day, and the rest of the time. All in the library.
When the patriarch's wife saw the patriarch Pei, she was very surprised, but she also guessed that there was something wrong in all likelihood. I served tea in person, asked a few words of warmth, and then waited for him to speak.
Patriarch Pei didn't talk nonsense. He went straight to the point and asked her to go to Chuanzhou Mansion to meet Li Hongyuan and play emotional cards.
Patriarch Pei is in his own backyard, that is the absolute master. He has always been one-of-a-kind. If there is anything, he will not hesitate to think about it, let alone what they will think. What he says is what he says, what he says, you must Do as you do, without further ado.
Patriarch Pei's wife is a little weak in temperament. In fact, if it wasn't for Patriarch Pei who only paid attention to his sons and daughters, he also respected his wife two points. Said, at this point, in fact, he should be thanked, how ironic, how ridiculous.
The patriarch's wife was in a daze at this moment. That was her youngest child, and she was the best-looking and most talented of all the children. She had set a good fiancé, and she liked it herself. She was a mother. She was also happy, because she could see that Min Yuhan was really kind to her, but unfortunately, God’s will makes people…
She was heartbroken by her daughter's suspended animation. She hated the person who ruined her daughter, but she was very concerned about her grandson. She never took the initiative to ask anything about Pei's family, but Li Hongyuan was the only one Exception, I have long wanted to meet, has the opportunity finally come?
"Don't worry, husband, I will try my best."
"That's good, leave as soon as possible, take Xiuying with you, and pick a few more, understand what I mean?"
The patriarch's wife was shocked, her sleeves could not stop clenching her fists, this man actually had such a plan, how could he, how could...
"Why, didn't you understand?" Patriarch Pei's voice was two points heavier.
The patriarch's wife couldn't help but trembled slightly, "Understood..."
"That's good." He walked away.
