Chapter 773

Ma Shiying and others had no choice but to go on this road, and they could only go to the dark. As for the nobles Zhao Zhilong and Liu Kongzhao in the city, they were frightened by Chongzhen's journey all the way to search the house. Rumors spread everywhere in Nanjing that the poor and crazy Chongzhen was already a mad dog, vigorously developing factory guards, and wanted to confiscate all the houses of the nobles, and confiscate the confiscated silver as military pay. Even the head of the nobles in Nanjing, Xu Jiujue, believed that once Chongzhen arrived, he would be searched.

Although some people advised him that the fate of the noble family would be with the country, with the example of Zhu Chunchen, would Chongzhen still believe in the noble family?

Xu Jiujue shouted long live to Zhu Yousong, and cursed Zhu Chunchen in his heart: Good thieves, they are all harmed by you! If you surrender to the thieves yourself, you will surrender to the thieves and betray the prince! Now that the emperor doesn't believe us anymore, we have no way out.

But Xu Jiujue didn't know that Chongzhen had not planned to confiscate his house, but now it's better because he knelt down to Zhu Yousong, so the Duke of Wei's mansion also put the list of house searches. Isn't this a fat sheep delivered to Chongzhen for slaughtering?

For these ugly dramas that happened in Nanjing, before the Hongguang pseudo-dynasty had sent the news to Yangzhou, Zhang Shuheng's Jinyiwei had already sent all the happenings in Nanjing to Chongzhen.

"Rebellious traitors! A group of traitors! I want to kill them all! I have raided all their homes!" Chongzhen's roar came out of the dragon boat, and even heard it in Yangzhou City.

According to the list sent by the Jinyiwei, except for the Marquis of Huaiyuan, Chang Yanling, the other honors in Nanjing, who did not support King Fu, could catch all the other honors in one go after conquering Nanjing City.

"Your Majesty, these noble families have enjoyed the Ming Dynasty and treated them well for nearly three hundred years. Every household has accumulated gold and silver! Once Nanjing City is broken, they can confiscate their homes and collect them countless silver. However, Your Majesty, except for Zhao Zhilong and Liu Kongzhao, the other nobles can be killed or killed. Just confiscate the family and abolish the Lord, leaving them a life to fight Jiannu on the battlefield, and also give them the opportunity to commit crimes and make meritorious contributions." Li Guodong still thought to leave them a way out, after all, they were all descendants of the Ming Dynasty.

"Hmph!" Chongzhen snorted, "Diet crime can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped! Li Aiqing, didn't you say that there is a top iron ore in Qiongzhou? How about sending their family there?"

"Your Majesty is wise! I am just thinking this!" Li Guodong quickly complimented. In fact, the family members of the criminals were sent to the Daoqiongzhou to dig iron ore, which was exactly what he wanted.

"The evil man Ma Shiying must be killed!" Chongzhen said.

Li Guodong said again: "Your Majesty, I heard that Ma Shiying has two daughters, who are still in the boudoir and look like a flower and jade. It would be a pity to be filled with the Jiaofangsi. It would be better to hand them over to me. I would like to reward them to my soldiers."

"Accurate!" Chongzhen agreed without thinking. Anyway, according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty to kill the nine clans, killing men but not women, and women are in charge of the Jiaofangsi. Since Li Guodong asked for people, it would be better to give him this favor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Guodong hurriedly thanked.

Li Guodong, Ma Shiying's two daughters, had already arranged a place to go, one to Hao Yaoqi and the other to Wang Fuchen. After all, these two were also surrendered. If they wanted to make them loyal to their work, they had to give them some benefits and give them two beauties as concubines, so that these two people would work for themselves wholeheartedly.

An eunuch came outside to report: "Your Majesty, Master Shi was waiting outside, saying that the Yangzhou magistrate Ren Minyu set up a banquet in the mansion to entertain His Majesty."

"No!" Chongzhen refused with anger. He knew that the fat man of Yangzhou was definitely fat and he wanted to find an excuse to confiscate Ren Minyu's home. If he went to the banquet now, wouldn't he be soft-mouthed?

"Your Majesty, let's go. There will definitely be many salt merchants to attend the banquet. Your Majesty, you can also see the luxurious life of the salt merchants. However, Your Majesty, Ren Minyu is still a good official. When Jiannu attacked Jining, Ren Minyu personally climbed the city to resist the enemy, which made Jiannu unable to conquer Jining. Seeing that he had made contributions to the court, he would let him go. But he was deeply involved in it and could not help himself." Li Guodong knew that Ren Minyu was a national hero who sacrificed his life for the country in real history. When the Qing army plundered Shandong in the 11th year of Chongzhen, Ren Minyu personally threw stones at the Qing army on the top of the city to smash the broken cloud ladder. Such a person would still leave his life.

Ren Minyu also has a daughter who is still waiting for her boudoir. At that time, he will be a matchmaker and see which general who has not yet married him to marry Ren Minyu's daughter.

At this time, the so-called civil and noble despicable martial arts had been broken. Didn’t Sun Chuanting’s two daughters marry two of his own? One daughter married Wang Quan and the other married Zhang Shiwen. Sun Chuanting did not show off as a civil servant and married two beautiful daughters to the vulgar martial artists in the words of civil servants.

After listening to Li Guodong's suggestion, Chongzhen also believed that since Ren Minyu had fought against Jiannu, he would be a good official, so he asked the eunuch to go out and reply, saying that he was invited to the banquet.

As for security issues, I feel relieved. There are two hundred elite soldiers who acted as a servant, who did not accept them at night, and Zhang Shuheng's Jinyiwei and Wang Chengen's Dongchang mansion. Which of the sluts dares to take action? In fact, Li Guodong wants them to take action. It is best to take action, kill the mastermind's salt merchant and then confiscate his home. Other salt merchants are more or less involved, and they will be arrested and demand huge ransoms at that time.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I'm here. If a slut dares to take action, we just happened to copy their homes. I want to copy Yangzhou. The money I get will definitely not be less than the money I get from thieves torture the money in the capital!" Li Guodong smiled and bewitched Chongzhen.

There are really people who are going to risk their lives to take action. This person is Chen Zhilin. He was originally the second best person in Chongzhen for ten years. Because his father, Chen Zubao, who served as the governor of Shuntian, was dismissed from his post and arrested during the Qing army's invasion. Chen Zubao committed suicide and escaped Chongzhen's anger. So Chongzhen threw his anger on his son Chen Zhilin, and then he dismissed his official position and never appointed him.

Since it was a case decided by Emperor Chongzhen, as long as Chongzhen did not die, Chen Zhilin would never be an official in the Ming Dynasty, so he secretly surrendered to Zhu Yousong. But he was worried that Zhu Yousong would not be able to defend Nanjing. Once Chongzhen entered Nanjing, King Fu was imprisoned. Not to mention Chen Zhilin's future was gone, his home in Haining would be over.

You should know that Chongzhen is now a mad dog, the officials on the list of thieves and surrenders, and the officials who supported King Fu. In Chongzhen's eyes, he was a group of fat sheep, waiting to be slaughtered.

"Everyone, the foolish lord has searched the Gaoyou Wang family. Who of you colluded with the Gaoyou Wang family? You know in your heart. The reason why the foolish lord has not touched you yet is because he has not arrived in Nanjing yet. If Emperor Hongguang is defeated, what good end will you all be here?" Chen Zhilin, the Grand Secretary of the Hongwenguan in the Qing Dynasty and the Prince's Prince, looked around in time and space history.

There were more than 20 salt merchants sitting in front of him, all of whom were salt merchants who colluded with the Wang family in Gaoyou.

The salt merchants knew very well that Chongzhen had not yet looked for them, which did not mean that he would not look for them. News had already been heard from the Jinyiwei that Chongzhen was planning to arrest all the salt merchants who had collusion with the Wang family and then demand a huge ransom from them.

In fact, this news was made by Li Guodong and Zhang Shuheng deliberately released, with the purpose of attracting them to take action.

According to Li Guodong's original plan, he was to wait until Chongzhen arrived in Nanjing and arrest all the salt merchants who colluded with the Wang family in Gaoyou, so he asked for a huge ransom. However, Chongzhen felt unsatisfied and wanted all the salt merchants in Lianghuai to pay the ransom. So Li Guodong suggested that the Jinyiwei let the news release the news and induce them to take action.
