Chapter 286 Killing, Arresting(1/3)
Lord Tao asked in confusion: "Why did Lord Mei say that?"
"When you see Mr. Jiang, you will understand."
The two adults were so excited that they were all told by Mei Linkai that they quickly approved the official documents for arresting people.
When the official arrived, Mr. Jiang sat calmly in the main hall of his house, as if waiting for them to arrest him. Qiao Renli was stunned for a moment, but he still had to do business, so he took out the arrest document and said, "Mr. Jiang, this is the prefect's order." He turned his hand with the document.
The men in the main hall saw it. They panicked and subconsciously wanted to hide in the corner.
Seeing this, the yamen officer asked Lord Qiao that he could arrest someone.
"Master Jiang, I'm sorry!" Qiao Renli gave first and then soldier. After bowing, he waved his hand. The yamen behind him quickly stepped forward to catch people. In the quiet main hall, the screams sounded instantly, piercing the yamen runner's eardrums.
Jiang Baiqi glanced behind him, turned around and walked out the door.
"Master... Help..."
"Dad...I don't want to be in prison, Dad...I won't go..." Jiang Xiuyan was dragged by the yamen runners and stayed on the ground and refused to leave.
"Grandpa...I'm afraid..."
...
When can we see human nature the most? It is now, in the unknown fear, people are surviving, so that their nature can be revealed.
Mr. Jiang, who was walking in front, seemed to turn a deaf ear. This is a wise man who has experienced the world and has a clear understanding of everything.
Qiao Renli stood at the door of the main hall and said, "Take all the people away, all the family wealth is confiscated. Several secretaries quickly followed the registration and booking. All soldiers were allowed to hide anything privately. If there is any violation, they would be killed on the spot."
The yamen runners who were excited to search the house stopped when they heard the "kill without any refusal".
Qiao Renli said coldly: "Every team has a military supervisor. They were mobilized by Prince Xia from the military camp. If anyone has taken it privately, stashed the stolen goods and solved it on the spot, and will never tolerate it."
The small military chief took a step forward and said, "Maybe everyone thinks that Lord Qiao's words are just a formality, but I want to tell you that the knife I have in my hand has the power to kill. Once an existing person takes the criminal's private property, he will kill it on the spot."
"Then..." The captain wanted to speak unwillingly, but when he saw Xueliang's knife, he didn't dare to say it.
The military supervisor said: "In the military camp, when siege, some people didn't believe it and took the property of the people in the city. But the result was that they did not die under the enemy's butcher's knife, but died in their own greed. I say again, your salary is enough for you to support your family. If anyone wants to try to see if my sword is not sharp, just take it privately."
After the military supervisor finished speaking, he glanced at everyone coldly and moved the big knife in his hand slightly. The cold light shone on people's hearts.
Jiang Baiqi, who was parked in the yard, sneered secretly, if these yamen runners, minor officials, and officials were all afraid, how could they be a hidden merchant? Who wouldn't want to live in front of others openly and enjoy the worship of the world?
Qiao Renli and the military officer have both warned that will anyone be greedy for the Jiang family?
Of course, there will be. If people can be scared, there will be no saying "Birds die for food, and people die for money."
After the Jiang family's inventory, several yamen runners secretly stole things, and the yamen runner who had the most was pulled out to "kill the chicken and respect the monkey".
This move caused an uproar in Xuancheng, with teahouses and restaurants... people were talking about it.
"It is an unwritten rule that the government raided the house and the yamen runners steal some things. Can Prince Xia stop this wind?"
"Can you not know, but it has shocked a lot of people at the moment."
"I think I can only take care of it for a while, it won't last long."
"I think so too."
"Oh, I'm sorry for this citron."
"Yes, it became the dead soul under Prince Xia's sword."
...
Everyone shook their heads.
Xuancheng Yamen Prison
The Jiang family had nearly 200 people, and more than 300 servants and servants were stuffed into the prison.
As the eldest son of the Jiang family, Mr. Jiang Liu, as the eldest son of the Jiang family, looked at the prison of nearly 500 people, and was slumped on the ground and was in a daze. When the night was quiet, he asked his father lightly: "Do we still have a day to turn over?"
Jiang Baiqi sat alone in the corner and looked outside through the skylight of the prison. "No one can tell until the end of the matter."
Jiang Misong was shocked by this sentence, hurriedly leaned against his father and asked in a low voice: "Father, what does it mean?"
Jiang Baiqi withdrew his eyes to look at the sky and said to his eldest son: "Song'er, if you ask me, what they ask you, you will answer."
"Baoshi and those who are the same as us?"
Jiang Baiqi nodded.
“Isn’t this unethical?”
Jiang Baiqi looked at his son meaningfully.
Jiang Misong was so guilty that I was seeing him.
"Child, you hear that you are the father."
Jiang Misong couldn't understand, but he nodded anyway.
A big restaurant in Xuancheng
Yu Li was sitting in the room and drinking tea. The manager next to him was talking about Mr. Jiang Liu. "Young Master, I didn't expect that the Jiang family was arrested by Prince Xia. How can I do this business?"
Yu Li smiled, "As long as things are still those things, it doesn't matter who the person is."
The manager looked at Yu Li in surprise, "Young Master means..."
Yu Li put down the cup, "Yes, that's what I mean."
The manager tried hard to digest the meaning of the young master.
In the Xia Zongze official room of the Jiangcheng royal palace, a few copper oil lamps illuminate the official room as daytime. Nothing else could be heard in the room except for the sound of paper turning.
Just when the copper oil wick was burning and needed to be cut, Lin Yiran spoke first and asked, "Mr. Mei, have you calculated it?"
"It will take some time to go back to the princess," Mr. Fan replied.
"Oh." Lin Yiran put down the paper in her hand, stood up, moved her head, stretched out her arms, and walked around the edge of Xia Zongze's desk.
Mei Linkai looked at Xia Zongze and his wife while calculating. It was now that Xia Zongze was still criticizing his official documents, as if he had not seen his wife's random actions as a man. Is the princess too casual? But then he thought, even leaving such a major thing to his wife, which is equivalent to treating his wife as a man standing side by side. Do you still care about this kind of subtle details? He laughed secretly and continued to calculate the Jiang family's property.
After a while, Mr. Fan said, "Go back to the princess, I calculated that the total value of the Jiang family shop and the goods was 8 million taels of silver."
Lin Yiran was about to turn her head and stopped moving.
Xia Zongze, who was halfway through writing, stopped.
Both the couple looked at Mr. Fan.
Lin Yiran resumed her movements and reached out and said, "I'll take a look."
"Yes, princess."
Lin Yiran took the list and Xun calculated it on the draft paper, "That's right, there are so many."
Xia Zongze put the pen on the pen holder, "So many!"
Mei Linkai saw that the prince spoke, and hurriedly said, "The Jiang family's inventory of silver is three million taels."
Lin Yiran mentioned his own property, "There are twelve private houses of all sizes, five Baiyun soil mines, 100,000 acres of land, and three private lakes. Some others are negligible, with an estimated value of 6 million taels."
Xia Zongze glanced at Mr. Fan, then looked at Mei Linkai, and finally looked at Lin Yiran, "Is it to kill or exile?"
Lin Yiran looked at Mr. Fan, "What do you think, sir?"
"I..." Mr. Fan thought for a while and shook his head, "I don't know."
When Mei Linkai heard Mr. Fan's answer, he choked his answer and said, "I don't know either."
Lin Yiran laughed out loud.
Mei Linkai's face turned red.
Lin Yiran shook her head, "Mr. Mei, don't think Mr. Fan is perfunctory to me, he really doesn't know."
"Uh..." Mei Linkai looked at the two of them in surprise, thinking what this means, isn't it just killing or letting go? I don't know what it means, it's so strange.
Seeing that Mei Linkai was confused by her, Lin Yiran said to Mr. Fan: "Explain it, why don't you know."
"Yes, princess!" Mr. Fan turned his head slightly and looked at Mei Linkai, "If I agree to the prince's murder, and I feel that the Jiang family's crime is not so much. Killing is too unkind."
Human favor? Mei Linkai thought to himself, there is actually human favor in your mouth. Isn’t it money? He felt even more confused.
Mr. Fan continued: "As for exile, the world is not peaceful, and exile is meaningless."
Lin Yiran smiled and said, "Mr. Mei, now you understand what Mr. Fan means "I don't know"?"
"The official is ashamed!" Although she didn't understand, Mei Linkai still seemed to understand and admitted her mistake.
Lin Yiran smiled slightly, and did not point it out, and asked, "What about Lord Mei's opinion?"
"I……"
"It's okay to say boldly."
Mei Linkai thought about it and said, "I think exile is more appropriate."
Lin Yiran nodded.
Xia Zongze asked, "Ran'er, what are your opinions?"
