Domineering Daming

"What are you doing and where are you going?"

"Master Huijun, we came from Sichuan as a refugee. We heard that our family is doing better, so we want to go back."

"Go back? Do you need so many carriages? I think you are spies. Come and search for me!"

"No, no, Mr. Jun, we are just ordinary people, not spies, and we bought all the things on the car with our own money."

"My lord, it's all food."

"Sure enough, it's a spy. Someone will copy it and take him down!"

"My lord, my lord, we are really ordinary people, this is food for disaster relief."

"Hmph, when we get to the prison, I will arrest anyone who makes excuses like you."

The Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, etc., almost all the yamen in the capital who have the ability to arrest people and seize things have taken action, and the whole capital seems to be in turmoil.

A silk shop.

"My lord, it's not good, the court is going to attack us."

"Hurry up, hide everything in the cellar and leave."

rice shop.

"Shopkeeper, it's not good, the people from the patrol camp are coming to us."

"Quick, hide as much as you can!"

pawnshop.

"It's too late for the shopkeeper, the people from the Ministry of War are here."

"Hurry up, send them all to the secret room, these bastards!"

Some people get the news early and can hide more, while others will be copied more later.All big households and businessmen are extremely nervous at this time, and are using all their strength to hide valuables.

At this time, it is impossible to dredge the relationship, so I can only think of ways to make up for it afterwards.

That mysterious inn.

"Treasurer Yang, what should we do, the imperial court is here for us!"

"Yeah, this time the court is going to get serious. What should we do? We have a lot of wealth buried in the yard."

"Shopkeeper Yang, we have paid for everything we bought. If the government steals it, the loss will be huge."

"It's okay to talk about the ones inside the city. If the ones outside the city are also copied, we will lose our heads."

Yang Huaizhong's face was also extremely serious at the moment, the government's action came too fast, they hadn't received any news before, and there was no time to prepare.

He frowned and thought for a long time, but he could only helplessly say: "Hide the money first, and steal the goods if they are fired, and find a way to get them back afterwards. There should be no problem outside the city, don't worry." He said Even though he said so, his brows did not loosen a bit.At this time, where can I feel at ease.

But he is the backbone, and hearing what he said, everyone was a little relieved.

pawn shop.

"Master Chu, Master Chu, I'm from a serious background, hey, take it easy, take it easy..."

"Seriously? Do you dare to say the same thing in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice? Anyone who comes, move them for me, and anyone who dares to stop them will be escorted back!"

Qiu Yuehou wanted to cry, but this was what he had accumulated over the years. He stopped in front of this Lord Chu of the Ministry of Punishment, and begged, "Master Chu, I know Lord Yang from Jinyiwei. If you don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, please raise your hand .”

"Get out of the way, or you will be arrested together! Be quick, or you will be robbed by others."

"It's an adult!"

A guard came over and kicked Qiu Yuehou down.

The whole capital city seemed to have fallen into hell, with tyrannical officers and soldiers everywhere, and wailing and crying everywhere.Although the imperial court's action this time was very hasty, it did not affect the actions of the various yamen in the slightest.These people didn't come strictly according to the list, but they rushed in without hesitation when they saw a big family.

"Please, Zhao Crotch."

Inside Huitong Commercial Bank, Wei Liangqing was all smiles, pouring tea for this Dongchang fan from the bottom of his heart.

Zhao Crotch was in his early thirties, took Wei Liangqing's teacup, and said with a smile: "Master Wei, you have a lot of face." Then he looked outside.

At the entrance of Huitong Commercial Bank, there was a group of more than [-] people, standing on both sides of the entrance like guards, majestic and quite domineering.Judging from the clothing, it should be from the right guard.

Inside them are eight brightly armored Jinyi guards, holding Xiuchun knives in their hands, defying everything.

Inside the door, two officials from the household department stood expressionlessly, looking out the door.

If you add the Zhao Crootou from Dongchang inside, you will have all the powerful yamen for this operation.

Wei Liangqing smiled slightly, and said: "Zhao Kuotou was joking, I will be the host tonight, everyone must appreciate it."

This is the benefit after the fact, Zhao Crotch smiled knowingly, holding a teacup and said: "It's easy to talk about."

Wei Liangqing was happy while drinking tea.He believes that it won't be long before the people who treated him like a stinky fly will treat him like a uncle to heaven!

Although such an action was determined by the court, and the Qing nobles did not think there was anything inappropriate, it would cause chaos in the capital after all, and it could not last long, so it will end today.

Zhu Xu stayed in the palace, looked out of the palace, and asked the two Caos in front of him with a smile: "Guess, how much silver can the court seize this time?"

Cao Wenzhao knew that the imperial court was making a big move this time, so after a little calculation, he said, "His Royal Highness, the cash alone may exceed 1000 million taels, and the sum of other conversions may exceed 5000 million taels."

5000 taels!

Zhu Xu frowned, but it was more than he estimated.Now the tax of the Ming court is only about 250 million taels a year, half of which comes from the salt tax.This time, it is equivalent to 20 years of tax revenue!

"Tsk tsk, this is exactly what the adults in the imperial court wanted."

Chapter 63 Sequelae

Early the next morning, Zhu Xu was called to Kunning Palace by Queen Zhang.

Zhu Xu lay sleepily on the table, yawned, and murmured weakly: "Sister-in-law, why did you call me here early in the morning? Your body is not well yet. You need to rest more. Brother Huang, why don't you come here?" Let me watch you, don't make you too tired, I am very embarrassed if you do this..."

Empress Zhang's face was still a little pale, but she was in good spirits. Looking at his appearance, she shook her head slightly and said, "Okay, I'll let you go back after asking, and cheer up."

"it is good."

Zhu Xu sat up abruptly and looked at Empress Zhang, full of energy and shining eyes.

Pfft!

Not far away, Huan'er and a few maidservants couldn't help laughing as they watched Zhu Xu's movements.
