Chapter 93 Copying Xie Qian's Family (1)
Liu Jian's relatives were arrested and put into the prison car, including Liu Jian himself.
The Liu clan and its relatives were all confiscated.
It took the officers and soldiers half a month just to confiscate Liu Jian's entire clan, and within this half month, they not only searched the house, but also killed people.
Liu Jian was the chief minister of the cabinet, a landlord, and a wealthy family. Like Heshen of the Qing Dynasty, he not only had many relatives, but also countless servants, but also composed of independent families.
Moreover, these families are all middle-level landlords, and some even become local landlords through Liu Jian's power, just as Liu Quan, the butler of Heshen, was also a landlord.
After all, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister.
But so many people, the officers and soldiers naturally could not escort them all into Beijing. According to Zhu Houzhao's confident order to Zhang Yong, he could only kill a group of them first.
That is, these slaves outside the nine Liu clans and the Qingke Guards that Liu Jian usually raises can only be killed first!
"Come on!"
A group of slaves from the Liu family who usually bully men and women because of the power of the Liu family were all taken up.
"cut!"
With a command.
These former deputy masters were cut off their heads and blood flowed into a river.
"Come on again!"
Another order.
Another group of slaves from the Liu family were escorted up. These slaves were actually all wealthy and powerful people who were used to being fed with wealth and food, and were therefore fat and big-eared. Now they were cut off with a knife, and they were also bleeding like killing fat pigs.
In this way, batches of slaves were cut off their heads.
The Liu clan's power in the territory of Luoyang, Henan was cut off with one knife.
The tenant farmers and common people who were oppressed by the Liu family in the past applauded. They hated the masters of the Liu family, and even more hated the rich slaves of the Liu family who relied on the power of the Liu family to cause trouble.
Liu Jian and his relatives naturally could not resist, and could only watch his slaves be hacked to death.
Moreover, they have to face the fate of being killed, which are caused by Liu Jian himself.
When Liu Jian thought that his family would be like this, he could only sigh now, not knowing what to say.
...
Coincidentally.
At this time, the Xie family in Yuyao was also facing the ending of being raided, just because Xie Qian was also the mastermind of killing Emperor Hongzhi.
Jiangnan has always been a place where officials and gentry gather, and the Xie family is extremely rich and noble.
Not only Xie Qian was once a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, but even Xie Qian's younger brother Xie Di was also the governor of Guangdong, and Xie Qian's son Xie Pi was a Tanhualang in the 18th year of Hongzhi.
Therefore, the Xie family can be regarded as a family of officials, not only a family of officials, but also a family of huge merchants. The trade in the south of the Yangtze River is developed, not to mention that Xie Qian's younger brother was also a governor of Guangdong, the Xie family is richer in commerce than Liu Jian and others.
The Xie Qian family was confiscated, and Zhang Yong did not go there in person, but sent two elite troops from the battalions to Jiangnan.
Among them, Deng Bing, the commander of the Yaozi Camp, was responsible for arresting Xie Qian's tribe members, and Lu Ju, the commander of the Fen Bing, was responsible for confiscating Xie Qian's wealth!
At the same time, Zhu Hou ordered the Jinyiwei Qianhu Liang Ze to take people to Guangdong to capture Xie Qian's younger brother Xie Di.
In addition, after receiving Zhu Houzhao's second decree, Zhang Yong killed Liu Jian. After Xie Qian's ten clans' decree, he immediately sent someone to convey the decree to Deng Bing and Lu Ju. Naturally, he asked Deng Bing and others to kill a group of people outside the nine clans of Xie Qian in Yuyao first.
However, at this time, Xie Qian and his tribe members did not know that they were about to face the massacre that Zhu Houzhao had launched for revenge on Emperor Hongzhi.
Today, the Xie family members and the rich slaves who are vassal under their wings are still enjoying a life of honor in Jiangnan.
After Xie Qian returned to Yuyao, he also annexed the land, built gardens on a large scale, and widely praised actors and actors, and even children and young girls.
After all, it was already a hundred years after the Ming Dynasty, and in history it was also the middle of the Ming Dynasty. The customs of the people in Jiangnan had begun to become extravagant and glitzy, especially scholars like Xie Qian.
After returning home, the scholars and officials naturally would not abide by the rules and precepts like monks.
Although Xie Qian doesn't have to be like Ji Xiaolan, he has the taste of a few stunning maids after returning home, and even forced a private girl to buy it. However, for a wealthy family like him, the common people are naturally helpless even if they are bullied.
Xie Qian naturally didn't care, after all, the scholar-official class had already regarded playing with young girls as elegant things.
Only the emperor cannot do it. If the emperor does that, it is debauchery and injustice.
Xie Qian has lost weight in less than a year and can only rely on medicine to cheer up every day, but he still enjoys it.
However, when the officers and soldiers arrived in Yuyao, Xie Qian did not enjoy the house, but met with the Japanese pirate leader Du San.
Because the leader of the Japanese pirate Du San is an important business partner of his Xie family. Although the imperial court prohibits the sea and even the officials and gentry in Jiangnan also demands the ban on the sea, the officials and gentry themselves have to do business, and their business partners are these Japanese pirates.
Sometimes things that are not clean are things that are difficult for officials and gentry to come forward openly, and some Japanese pirates need to come forward.
This is the same as some officials and gentry in the north who led the Tartars into the pass and plundered villages, and the same as Shanxi merchants working with the Tartars outside the pass.
"I have met Master Ge, Master Ge. I'm not going to do anything else. I just sent you a girl. There are fifty of them all. They are robbed from Songjiang Prefecture. They are not even a scattered girl. They have not even opened Tiankui. I know Master Ge, hello, so I have all delivered it!"
The leader of the Japanese pirate Du San said in Xie Qian.
Xie Qian looked at the girl standing in the yard outside, nodded, and ordered his butler: "Send it to Liuxiang Cave!"
As he said that, Xie Qian said again: "Tell me, why do you have to see me this time?"
For people like Du San, Xie Qian would not come out to meet directly, but was usually his tribe members or even slaves.
However, Du San strongly requested to see Xie Qian in person and give him the gift of fifty girls he stole. Xie Qian could only see him in person. After all, Du San is an important partner of his Xie family.
"I have been wandering on the sea for more than ten years. I want to return to the land to be a military officer and live a peaceful life. I hope the elders can help me."
Du San said with a smile.
"Yes, although I have returned home now, I still have some connections. Although the Ministry of War in the capital cannot move, the Ministry of War in Nanjing still has some connections. I can arrange for you to be a thousand households in Jiangnan, but those above guerrillas are not allowed! After all, I am no longer a Grand Secretary of the current dynasty!"
Xie Qian said.
"Thousands of households are enough! Master Ge, don't worry, as long as things are done, the younger ones will thank them with generous gifts. The younger ones plan to do the last killing business and go to Ningbo Prefecture to slaughter six villages, and then all the fields in the six villages will be given to Master Ge! Master Ge, I hope, will arrange for the younger ones to be a thousand households in Ningbo Prefecture, and then, the elder Ge, will do business there," Du Sanhui said.
After hearing this, Xie Qian nodded: "What you said is very good, please step back. I am tired. Come and carry me to the fragrance cave!"
As Xie Qian said that, he stuffed a pill into his mouth, and then he couldn't help but feel refreshed and his face turned red!
And just so happened that at this time, the head of the Xie family, Zhou Sheng, ran in: "Master! No! A large number of officers and soldiers came outside, as if they were coming directly to our Xie Mansion!"
Du San, who had not yet had time to take his leave, became anxious and hurriedly looked at Xie Qian: "Gei, what should I do? Isn't it here to get the small one?"
It is normal for Du San to worry about this. After all, he is doing illegal business and has killed many civilians. Once he sees the light, Xie Qian cannot protect him.
Xie Qian did not panic and just endured the evil fire after the effect of the medicine: "Don't be anxious first, no one knows what you and our Xie family are doing. Besides, these officers and soldiers may not necessarily come to our Xie family. Even the cabinet master who resigned, they would not be easily taken away by Liu Jin, Ma Wensheng and others!"
Xie Qian couldn't hold it anymore and just ordered: "Go and call the uncle, let him go out and take a look, and ask what these officers and soldiers are doing here! Help me to Liuxiang Cave!"
Xie Qian said that, and hurried to go first. He had just taken the medicine, and somewhere was already like a burnt iron rod.
At this time, the officers and soldiers responsible for raiding the house and getting the people rushed in.
Deng Bing was a nobleman from the Ming Dynasty and knew Xie Qian. When he saw Xie Qian, he was afraid that Xie Qian would run away or commit suicide, so he ordered: "Take Xie Qian down first! Hurry!"
So about twenty officers and soldiers rushed over first, stopped Xie Qian, and held Xie Qian down.
Xie Qian was at this time when the medicine was effective. He was eager to find the girl to vent, but now he was pressed to the ground again. He was so anxious that he became short of breath, and his whole body was burning like fire. He asked with a red face: "You, what are you doing, you, you!"
