Chapter 7 Ye Xuan: Come to work? Are you going to confiscate my house?
Chapter 7: Ye Xuan: Come on? Are you going to confiscate my house?
The young eunuch felt Zhu Yuanzhang's tremendous anger and was immediately frightened and trembled.
But he still suppressed the fear in his heart and wrote down the decree that Zhu Yuanzhang had just issued stroke by stroke.
Then, after the ink had dried, he walked towards Zhu Yuanzhang and stamped his seal.
After Zhu Yuanzhang issued this decree, the entire Yingtian Prefecture was as if a bomb had been dropped into it.
Boiling instantly! ! !
Especially the civil and military officials, they were all frightened.
This time, I'm afraid thousands of people will be implicated.
Now those who are related to the blank account books only hope to survive and dare not ask for anything else.
Because it was obvious that Zhu Yuanzhang was going crazy with killing, no matter how high or low the official position was, as long as it was related to the blank account books, the person would basically be killed or have a serious injury.
At the same time, everyone's awe and resentment towards the Jinyiwei organization became even stronger.
……
Ying Tianfu.
The setting sun is rising in the sky.
The fish belly-colored sky in the distance was covered with a red glow, like the blush of a young girl's shyness for the first time, which made people fascinated at first sight.
The ancient city walls were bustling with people, and most people had already started their own businesses.
"Buying groceries~~~~"
"Tanghulu——"
"Baozi baozi, freshly baked big meat buns!"
Many ordinary people were not affected by the shock caused by the blank account books during this period.
Their lives go on as these things have nothing to do with them.
At most, I would just hear some gossip and treat it as after-dinner chat, talking about it with a few good friends and then forget about it.
Little did they know how many turbulent waves there would be beneath this calm sea.
"You've been having a very comfortable time these past few days, haven't you?"
Within the Zhenfu Division.
Ye Xuan stretched and lazily sat down on the armchair.
Because he felt uncomfortable, he asked Song Zhenshan to bring a cushion to put around his waist.
Now I feel much more comfortable!
Ye Xuan has been in Ming Dynasty for some time, and during this period of time he has adapted to his identity.
And he has also adapted to the daily work of Jinyiwei.
The main reason is that the Jinyiwei have a good status and position. They have the ability to protect themselves and are not as nervous as ordinary officials.
Although his life was more relaxed, Ye Xuan still felt a little flustered.
Because this system has not appeared since the first day of traveling through time, except for a bubble that popped up.
So he was a little panicked, wondering if the system might have failed.
Fortunately, through observation over the past few days, he has heard that Zhu Yuanzhang has begun to take action against civil and military officials one after another, so it won't be long before he will have the opportunity to confiscate their property.
Moreover, he heard that Zhu Yuanzhang was ruthless this time.
If there is even the slightest involvement, the lightest punishment would be exile.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was cruel to his officials, he was quite good to the people.
"This case is getting more and more complicated. I don't know how many people will die in the end..."
Ye Xuan couldn't help but sigh.
After all, those are human lives.
But to be honest, the number of people killed in the Kongyin case has always been controversial.
Some exaggerated opinions believe that 70,000 to 80,000 people were killed, while the mainstream opinion is that more than 10,000 people were killed.
But there is also a saying that only a few hundred to a thousand people were killed. The reason for exaggerating the number was mainly to intimidate civil and military officials so that they would not dare to disobey the emperor's will, which is the so-called establishing prestige.
As for how many there are in the end...
I'm afraid no one can tell. After all, the number of people involved in this blank account book is large and widely distributed, and in ancient times, communications were not well developed, so it was really difficult to count.
"Who cares! These guys won't listen to me. They deserve to die."
Ye Xuan felt relieved after thinking for a moment. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang had already made a statement beforehand, but these people just insisted on seeking death. It was hard to blame anyone.
crunch...
Just when Ye Xuan was feeling sleepy and was about to take a nap while nothing else was happening, and while he was fishing, the door was suddenly pushed open.
This suddenly woke Ye Xuan, who had just dozed off, and he immediately sat up straight.
After all, slacking off at work is something that will be criticized no matter what era it is in.
If someone reports you, the consequences could be a light fine, such as salary deduction, or a serious punishment, such as caning.
The consequences are generally serious.
Followed by.
Ye Xuan saw a middle-aged man walking towards him.
After seeing the person coming, Ye Xuan immediately realized that he had come to fulfill a mission.
Because the person who came was none other than his immediate superior, Wei Qingming.
"Ye Xuan, quickly gather your Jinyiwei."
Wei Qingming spoke.
Hearing this, Ye Xuan looked serious and saluted:
"Please give your orders, Lord Wei."
After spending these few days together, Ye Xuan and Wei Qingming have become familiar with each other.
However, the Jinyiwei system is strict, and even in private, Ye Xuan always remembers to abide by the rules and will not do anything that oversteps the boundaries.
After all, in this era, committing a small crime can really cost you your head.
Especially a killing organization like Jinyiwei.
Wei Qingming nodded, quite satisfied with Ye Xuan's strict adherence to the rules.
Then, he spoke:
"Minister Zhang Zhengxing of the Ministry of Revenue was involved in a case involving blank account books. He has been sentenced to exile. All his family property has been confiscated. You take your men to search his house."
"Searching the property?" Ye Xuan was stunned at first when he heard this, and then he was visibly overjoyed:
"Great!"
After so many days, my first chance to raid someone's house has finally come!
"I will conduct a thorough investigation and hand over the property of Zhang Zhengxing's mansion to the court."
Wei Qingming looked at Ye Xuan, whose face was excited, and was somewhat confused.
However, he did not think about it and then warned:
“Your Majesty is extremely angry about the blank account book case. We, the Jinyiwei, should share your worries and be loyal to you and serve our country.
Remember, don't have any ulterior motives, hoping to enrich yourself and deceive His Majesty."
Ye Xuan is already a centurion at such a young age, so Wei Qingming naturally values him more.
Wei Qingming turned a blind eye to some daily things that allowed him to make some money, pretending he knew nothing.
However, Your Majesty is very concerned about this serious case, and you still have to distinguish the severity of it.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan immediately nodded and said:
"Thank you for your reminder, Lord Wei. I understand!"
This is one of the four famous Hongwu cases in history. How could Ye Xuan be so desperate as to enrich himself in such a place and leave any evidence behind?
Wouldn't it be nice for him to just rob houses and get rewards from the system?
This is my first time to raid a house. I feel a little excited just thinking about it. I finally have a chance to make a living.
I don't know what the system can reward.
With such excitement, Ye Xuan quickly assembled the Jinyiwei troops under his command.
There are about one hundred and twenty people in total.
After confirming that all the people were present, Ye Xuan immediately led these people and charged towards the residence of Zhang Zhengxing, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
