Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

Chapter 481 Divide and transform

"This is not okay, sir. You have to let the villain go first."

"Give the younger one another fast boat to Fuso."

"Don't worry, I'll tell you the place as soon as I get to the riverside."

Sun Zhixian's smile did not fade and he continued to speak in a lowered voice.

He is not stupid, how could he say it now?

This Wei Zhongxian is not even a man, there is nothing he can do if he breaks the contract.

what?

Give you a boat?

Why the hell are you going to Fuso? ,

"Master Sun, your request is a bit excessive."

"Now both the French and Confucian families are in Suzhou City, and you are the number one felon."

"If we let you out casually, our family would be under great pressure."

Wei Zhongxian's mouth twitched slightly and he said with a smile.

This grandson can't be deceiving people.

"That's a bit nonsense."

"How can a mere French and Confucian family compare to you, Eunuch Wei?"

"You are nine thousand years old. It is not easy to let someone go."

"In this way, to show my sincerity, I can tell my father-in-law a place first."

"There's not much money there, about half a million."

"I will tell my father-in-law later when I get on the boat."

Too much?

Sun Zhixian didn't think it was excessive at all.

Just continue to make conditions on your own.

After hearing this, Wei Zhongxian narrowed his eyes and thought for a while.

Finally nodded.

"Okay, it's a deal."

"If you give us the money, we will let you go."

"But if you dare to deceive our family, you will suffer the consequences."

Wei Zhongxian is still very interested in money.

If you can really get a lot of money, Your Majesty will be happy.

As long as His Majesty is happy, then he will be safe.

As for letting Sun Zhixie go...

Oh, I, Wei Zhongxian, can let you go, but I don’t know if Tian Ergeng and the others will let you go.

"I know father-in-law that you are not afraid of these civil servants."

"The address is..."

Sun Zhixian didn't know what Wei Zhongxian was thinking.

Seeing that Wei Zhongxian agreed simply, he did not leave any more ink marks and revealed the place where the money was hidden.

The place is inside a certain grave, and the location is relatively remote.

Wei Zhongxian silently wrote it down and nodded. Without further words, he ordered people to take Sun Zhixian into custody and left the prison.

"Go, find two quick hands and feet to check it out tomorrow."

"If you really have money, then go tell Feng Ying and say that Sun Zhixian is useful to our family."

"Leave him to us to make arrangements."

After leaving the gate, Wei Zhongxian exhaled and stretched out his hand to summon a young eunuch.

After whispering instructions, he sent him to get busy.

One Sun Zhixian could produce so much silver, and now he was becoming more and more curious about how much money he could produce in the south of the Ming Dynasty.

-------------------------------

And just when the atmosphere in Suzhou City became increasingly tense.

Nanjing, in the middle of the mansion.

Wen Tiren, holding the Emperor's Sword, had already entered the government office.

Looking at the two rows of officials standing around to receive him, Wen Tiren spoke calmly.

"Everyone, I believe you already know about this matter in Suzhou City."

"To be honest, His Majesty sent me here just to investigate this matter."

"If you are related to this, you'd better surrender yourself as soon as possible, and maybe you can be dealt with lightly."

Wen Tiren's voice was not loud but not very warm.

Below, many officials began to sweat after hearing this.

Of course they know what happened in Suzhou. In the past few days, people have been sending letters asking for their help.

But as more and more high-ranking officials gathered in Suzhou, almost no one dared to open their mouths at this time.

"Don't even say anything?"

"Okay, it's okay if you don't say anything."

"Anyway, Jin Yiwei and Dongchang will investigate clearly."

"Since everyone is fine, please come back and forget about Jie Feng, I still have things to do."

Seeing all the people in front of him keeping their mouths shut, Wen Tiren rolled his eyes and was speechless.

Do you want me to pretend to be a big tree?

Okay, if you don’t say anything, then get out!

The officials below wanted to get close to Wen Tiren, but after looking at Wen Tiren's eyes, they finally gave it up.

When everyone in the hall was gone, Wen Tiren chuckled and then found a chair to sit down.

He put the Emperor's Sword on his lap and thought about it.

There were Feng Ying, Huang Jin and others in Suzhou, so he didn't need to worry.

What he needs to consider now is other southern cities besides Suzhou.

Once there are many killings in Suzhou city, the squires in other cities will inevitably riot.

This is not what he wants to see.

"It seems that we still have to appease those princes first, and then separate them."

"Um..."

"The closest ones with sufficient status should be the King of Zhou and the King of Chu."

"One is in Kaifeng and the other is in Wuchang."

"If we can reach an agreement between these two people, we will definitely make all the royal families in the south obey."

"Huh... give it a try."

Wen Tiren thought for a long time and felt that this matter should not be rushed.

Especially the interests of the royal family are also involved.

As an old man in the court, he was very aware of the methods used by landlords and gentry to avoid taxes.

A lot of land is in the hands of these princes.

If we don't appease these people first, we may encounter fierce resistance if we act rashly.

Thinking of this, Wen Tiren couldn't help but sigh again.

As long as there is another way to go, he does not want to deal with these princes.

One is that as a court minister, you have to avoid suspicion.

Secondly, none of these princes are easy to get along with.

The more direct he is, the more his temperament is like that of Taizu, very arrogant.

"That's it, come here!"

"Served with pen and ink!"

Wen Tiren, who had been pondering for a long time but could not think of any other solution, finally decided to write a letter to invite the two princes to come over.

He had already talked with Zhu Youjian when he came.

If necessary, he can mobilize these royal family members at will.

But having said that, Wen Tiren didn't dare to actually run and shout.

The proper etiquette should still be observed.

Not long after, two letters of invitation were sent from Nanjing to Kaifeng and Wuchang, which are not far away.

The next day, the two princes who received the letter were both in a daze after reading it.

Of course they know what is going on in Suzhou City.

But they didn't expect the fire to reach them so quickly.

When Wen Tiren, the chief minister of the dynasty, entered Nanjing with the Emperor's Sword in hand, it seemed that something big was about to happen.

Combined with what Zhu Youjian said during the Chinese New Year, the two of them could not sit still.

They all got up and prepared to go to Nanjing for the appointment.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let the butler go?"

"So what if Wen Tiren is the chief minister of the dynasty? Does he really dare to kill me?"

"You are of Taizu bloodline, how can you take risks?"

In Prince Zhou's palace, Zhu Gongzhen, who was preparing horses, couldn't help but have a headache after listening to his wife's words.

It's just like a woman...

Let alone anything else, he had to go just because of the Emperor's Sword in Wen Tiren's hand.

Not to mention that the situation in the south is so weird now that he has to find a way out for his family.

During the last gathering in Beijing, he had been silently observing Zhu Youjian.

According to his judgment, His Majesty is not an easy person to get along with because he is decisive in killing.

If his family unknowingly stands in the way of his governance, he will lose the throne even if he doesn't die.

"Shut up!"

"Don't you understand that misfortunes come from your mouth?"

"Everyone in Suzhou is in danger now. Qin Liangyu brought 10,000 people here and you thought it was just for an outing?"

"If you don't pay attention, you will be killed!"

Zhu Gongzhen took a deep breath and warned in a serious tone.

Maybe Jin Yiwei has already sneaked into the family.

Be careful what you say and do!
