Chapter 244 Li Xin's Pain
Although Li Xin repeatedly stated that the onlookers left quickly, almost no one left.
On the one hand, he showed his face in front of Li Xin and would be able to talk to him in the future. On the other hand, people have a passion for their attention. Many people are full of curiosity in Zhu Guobi's property, even if it is not their own, it is better to see it. As for the capital to brag.
"Look, the purple coral is five feet tall. I didn't expect that Zhu Guobi, the old man, still has such a treasure!"
"Those boxes are all pearls. How many treasures does this old man hide?"
"There are all gold on that car, and there are more than a dozen cars. Hey, Zhu Guobi fell down, Commander Li is full!"
The crowd of onlookers made praise from time to time, full of envy and jealousy. Zhu Guobi, with his legitimate wife and a few children, was driven out of the mansion first. He shrank in the cold wind at the corner of the alley, watching boxes of treasures and silver being transported away by trucks, his eyes were both desperate and full of hatred!
"It's all the disaster you brought!"
Zhu's wife cursed: "I heard that Commander Li came to seek justice for the little hoof of Kou Baimen. You can't control your belt. Now the family business has been scammed. Oh my god, what kind of evil did I do to marry into your Zhu family!"
"Shut up!"
Zhu Guobi said irritably, "What Kou Baimen? Will Li Xin, the commander-in-chief of the bandit army, come to scout my house for a cousin? He clearly has taken a fancy to my family business for a long time. So Sun Baigu and Hou Xun are not a thing, they have actually run away long ago. You just want to run away, at least say hello, right? But he ran away silently, otherwise how could I fall into such a field!"
"My husband, what are your plans? Commander Li left us 100 taels of silver. Seeing that it was getting cold, how could you live this life? And I'm still scared. Maybe one day our whole family will be killed, wuwu~~"
Zhu's wife cried with her face.
Zhu Guobi took a deep breath and said, "Go to Hangzhou, my mother, it was Sun Baigu's house that I was confiscated. I had no food to eat, so I pestered him. Could he still dare to kill me?"
"Then go!"
Zhu's wife was really scared and hurriedly urged her.
"not busy!"
Zhu Guobi waved his hand: "The Duke of Wei is probably raided too. Let's go find Mr. Xu and go on the road together. At least there is a companion. It's easy to talk to Sun Baigu when facing Sun Baigu."
"Um!"
Zhu's wife nodded, took the child with Zhu Guobi, and walked towards the Xu Mansion.
At this time, the Xu Mansion was crying. Duke Wei was not as good as Zhu Guobi's Funing Hou. He had been passed down for thirteen generations and had been entrenched in Nanjing for more than two hundred years. His family business was mixed with the history of Nanjing in the dynasty and entangled with each other. No matter which official, if he had no good relationship with the Xu family, this official would be over. But who would have expected that his home would be confiscated overnight.
The excuse is still very nonsense to share the same fortune as the country!
The country is there, the family is there, the country is destroyed, the family is destroyed!
But because the family business is too large, it is also troublesome to pick it up. Just like modern people, they disperse their property to avoid risks. As long as one is not copied, they will make a profit. They have not made a comeback in the future. The Xu family is the same. A considerable part of the industry is not under the Xu family's own name.
Some are relatives, some are servants, and some are even eight poles that cannot be beaten.
For this reason, after Funing Hou Mansion was initially controlled, Li Xin personally moved to the Xu family and tortured the property.
A roll of books piled up like a mountain. The financial company professionals checked. The room was full of personal guards and soldiers with flesh-faced faces, all of whom were fierce and evil. People like Erju would not let them in.
Gao Guiying was also stopped outside the door and was not allowed to come in.
Because Li Xin knew that Gao Guiying was soft-hearted and it was related to small money, how could he not kill him?
What's more, he has sufficient reasons to copy the Duke of Wei's Mansion, what is he afraid of?
A basic principle of dealing with people and things is that words cannot be said to be extreme, but things must be extreme. In history, Li Zicheng was tortured in Beijing, but he was not clean and revenge.
There were tiger benches placed in the room. Xu Hongji was old and naturally could not make tiger benches, but his eldest son Xu Ziyin, his youngest son Xu Wenjue, his nephew Xu Renjue and more than ten people, as well as the manager, housekeeper, accountant, and dozens of people were tied to the tiger bench.
"Old man, your ancestor Xu Da made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. Originally, the commander did not want to do this, but when the Ming Taizu established his country, there was a saying that your Xu family and the country were in the same throne. Now that the Ming Dynasty is about to perish, my enemy army is stationed in Nanjing. Your Xu family is no longer qualified to enjoy wealth and prosperity. This is God's will and the will of the Ming Taizu. If you hand over the property honestly, I will not make things difficult for your family, otherwise your children and grandchildren will have to endure hardship."
Li Xin looked at Xu Hongji sinisterly and said.
Xu Hongji is over 60 years old and said in tears: "Commander, I won't blame you. This is God's will. My Xu family has enjoyed more than two hundred years of wealth and is content, but you have copied the property, so how can I hide it? Commander, okay, I'm kowtowing you!"
Xu Hongji is also a mature person. He knows that when the facts come true, what else can he use to say ruthless words besides attracting Li Xin's anger and even more fierce revenge?
Only by pretending to be pitiful and trying to be humble can one escape the disaster.
But Li Xin is not easy to fool, because he is a modern person and has never seen any means before?
Many people corrected the names of the ancients, saying that the ancients were so smart that they were no worse than modern people. This is wrong. The constitutive factors of intelligence are one of the ways of thinking and the other is judgment.
Modern people have learned algebraic geometry and have the most basic logical thinking and spatial imagination. The ancients were very lacking in this regard. At the same time, the basis of judgment and decision-making is information collection. Modern people can easily obtain the many information they need, but in ancient times there was no such condition. Many decisions were too taken for granted, and the information source was one-sided and biased, so decision-making mistakes were inevitable.
Therefore, ancient society could not be troubled, and it would be messy when it was troubled. From this perspective, the existence of Neo-Confucianism was in line with the requirements of the times, because the existence of heaven and the elimination of human desires was a relatively static society.
A static society can make decisions based on experience and limited information.
But Li Xin wanted to establish a preliminary industrialized social form, and Neo-Confucianism became a shackle that hindered the development of productivity and must be abolished.
Li Xin shook his head secretly, withdrew his thoughts, and said coldly: "If you have any hidden property, you need to check it before you talk about it. Mr. Xu, don't say more."
The room was full of the abacus and the dozens of abacus were twitching together. The sound was noisy and brought heavy psychological pressure. Many of the accounting managers tied to the tiger bench were frightened and their whole body was trembling.
"Commander-in-Chief, found it!"
Suddenly, a financial yelled excitedly.
"oh?"
Li Xin looked over.
Finance said: "The commander-in-chief, there is a problem with the Fulai pawn shop on Sanshan Street. The account is about 1.3 million taels, and the subordinates suspected that the account was hidden.
"Who is responsible? Say!"
Li Xin asked.
A group of accounting managers had no one to speak.
Li Xin said coldly: "I won't say it, right? OK, everyone is punished. The commander advised me last, don't put your legs on your feet for irrelevant people, come!"
"Master, I say I say it!"
"It's him, the yellow tent, and he is responsible for this pawnshop!"
Before the guards could put bricks on them, others pointed to a goatee's tent.
"Say, where did the money go?"
Li Xin naturally would not lower his identity to interrogate the yellow tent. Xing Wu strode forward and shouted sternly.
Although Xing San did not dare to make a statement about Li Xin's account check that day, he still implied that Xing Wu, who had been with Li Xin for a long time, learned some things, and knew what was going on at first sight. This made him extremely frightened and thanked Li Xin for his mercy. He urgently needed to show his performance in front of Li Xin to elevate the status of the Xing family.
"I……"
The yellow tent still has eyes rolling around.
"Add bricks!"
Xing Wu has turned around and waved.
A personal guard came to the house and put three bricks in a row. Suddenly, the yellow tent was crying and howling.
Xing Wu reminded: "Put another brick, your knee will snap and break up to it. It hurts. You can imagine that your second half of your life will be ruined. What benefits did the Xu family give you to you to make you willing to give two legs? Well? Duke Wei has become a thing of the past. His Xu family can't even support himself. What's the point of relying on his family? If you don't have to think about your family, right?
