Chapter 173 I invite you to enjoy the flowers(1/2)
It was dark and the entire Hangzhou city was shrouded in the night.
There are hazy lights in the buildings on both sides of the street.
I am riding my horse on the road, and there are no traces of war that have ever been experienced here.
When he arrived at the backyard, Wang Xiao saw the lights on in Zhao Fujin and the others' building.
The warm lights penetrate the window frames, adding a touch of warm color to the courtyard.
Waving his hand to signal the maids outside not to speak out, Wang Xiao stepped forward and gently pushed open the half-closed door and walked in quietly.
He tiptoed past the flower hall and came to the outside of the lying inside and heard Hu Sanniang complaining to Zhao Fujin inside.
"I'm so late and I won't come back. I must have been hooked by the fox outside."
Zhao Fujin sat by the bed embroidered mandarin ducks, and her female red was doing very well. "The official is not such a person."
Wang Xiao subconsciously touched his nose.
"Go." Hu Sanniang, who was lying on the bed, curled her lips, "Sister, you are so abusive to him. Think about how he has troubled us in the past. Those strange things must have been learned from outside."
Speaking of this, Hu Sanniang's pretty face was covered with a blush. It seemed as if she had recalled how Wang Xiao tortured her.
"Let us do this and let us do that. Even there... Now the rich merchants in the city invite him to their homes to have banquets every day. I heard that these rich merchants have beautiful maids in their homes to entertain guests, so he must be happy now."
Wang Xiao raised his hand and instructed Zhao Fujin to be quiet and walked towards the bed step by step.
Hu Sanniang was still complaining there, "When he was in Hujiazhuang, he actually took advantage of the drunkenness... Humph! I don't believe that she was really drunk. We didn't come to love her at home, so we ran out to drink flower wine by ourselves. When he came back, we wouldn't pay attention to him."
After talking for a long time, I didn't hear Zhao Fujin's response. Hu Sanniang turned around in confusion.
Zhao Fujin covered his mouth and laughed aside, but Wang Xiao stood behind her with a tense face and took off his shoes.
"You have so many complaints. Today I have to let you know who is the head of the family."
Hu Sanniang subconsciously wanted to get up and escape, but unfortunately her movements were not as fast as Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao rushed over like a mountain of Tai, "I want to teach you a good lesson today!"
A spark burst out with a "pop" candle in the room.
After a long time, Hu Sanniang's intermittent voice came out, "Sister, save me."
"She is unable to protect herself, and no one can save you, so let's continue."
In the following days, Zhu Xie kept inviting Wang Xiao and invited him to enjoy the flowers.
Then he repeatedly invited Wang Xiao to send troops to help teach those disobedient unruly people a lesson.
Wang Xiao always happily went to the appointment, but when he talked about sending troops, he agreed to it with his words, but in fact, no soldier had ever been out.
Zhu Xie gradually realized that Wang Xiao was ruling, and he was angry and stopped asking him to appreciate the flowers. He even began to write a letter to impeach Wang Xiao.
Afterwards, the angel from Bianliang City arrived.
The decree was for Wang Xiao, and he asked him to cooperate with the angel to search Zhu Xie's villa in Hangzhou City.
This was like handing the knife handle directly into Wang Xiao's hand.
This time Wang Xiao immediately sent troops.
"Emphasizing envoy, what do you mean?"
Looking at the surging armoured soldiers, Zhu Xie's face turned pale.
Wang Xiao spread his hands and signaled innocently, "It's not my business, I'm doing things according to the order."
The angel came over and gave Zhu Xie the order from the Zhengshi Hall, saying that he would search his villa.
Zhu Xie felt a conspiracy approaching, but he could not refuse the situation at the moment.
Fortunately, there was nothing forbidden in his villa except for a lot of money. He was not very afraid.
"I will definitely report this to you before I report it to you, and I will never stop with you at that time!"
Zhu Xie angrily threw down a harsh words, letting him go away and acquiesced to the soldiers for searching.
Wang Xiao was not angry at all.
Zhu Xie is a dying person, and he still has a big argument with him.
Hu Cheng, who led the team to search, gave Wang Xiao a faint look. Seeing Wang Xiao nodding slowly, Hu Cheng immediately rushed in with his people.
Then, contraband was found.
This is impossible?!”
Looking at the many contraband items being sent to the front of him, Zhu Jie was shaking all over his body, and sweat beads on his forehead rolled in, "Someone framed me!!"
The contraband includes a large number of letters, all of which are letters that communicate with Fang La.
In addition, there are dragon robes, privately carved Great Zhou emperor seals, various Great Zhou flags, and even new maps of the Great Zhou Dynasty that ruled by rivers.
The letters were imitated by Xiao Rang, and the seals were engraved by Jin Dajian. As for the other things, most of them were changed from Fang La's seizure.
These things are just shells. What is really fatal is that Wang Fu, who is in charge of the court, is about to hit Cai Jing, who is about to come back again. Liang Shicheng also worked with Wang Fu.
This is the main reason why Zhu Xie died.
Wang Xiao, who had insight into all this, just sent the shells along the way.
Hu Cheng stepped forward to report, "General, these were all found from the back home database."
"This is impossible!" Zhu Xie, who was next to him, jumped up anxiously, "There is only money in the database!"
Wang Xiao smiled and asked Hu Cheng, "Do you have money?"
Hu Cheng shook his head and ignored the soldiers who were carrying heavy boxes on the side, "I didn't see any money, only these things."
‘Hula~~~’
Several soldiers accidentally took off their hands and a large wooden box fell to the ground. Yellow copper coins were sprinkled all over the floor.
Wang Xiao handed it to the angel with a thick stack of Jiaozi, "Thank you for your hard work in the noble family."
The eunuch pinched the thickness of Jiaozi and smiled satisfied, "It's not hard work, it's all for the government, we haven't seen anything."
Zhu Xie was able to climb from a merchant to his current position. In addition to his ability to flatter and practice to the top, he was also quite smart.
He finally came to his senses and looked at Wang Xiao in disbelief, "Why did you frame me? I asked you to appreciate the flowers!"
Wang Xiaoyi stared at him with a righteous insult, "Don't talk nonsense! How could I enjoy the flowers with thieves like you who are conspiring and treason? You are framed by me! You are the noble man, you want to testify for me."
The eunuch laughed and couldn't see anything, "We didn't hear anything."
"Bastard! I'll fight you!"
Zhu Xie, who felt a dizzy moment, rushed towards Wang Xiao with his teeth and claws.
Hu Cheng pulled out his sword and smashed it directly on Zhu Xie's mouth with the handle.
Blood and teeth were flying on the spot.
A group of soldiers rushed up and punched Zhu Xie and kicked him. From time to time, the sound of bone fractures was heard.
Wang Xiao instructed Hu Cheng to "pack a copy of the things collected from Zhu Xie's house and send them to Zhongguiren. It is not easy for them to come from afar, so they always have to bring some local specialties."
The eunuch giggled like an old hen, "The general is intent. We actually like this local specialty from Jiangnan."
Zhu Xie, who was once a powerful figure and was terrified in Jiangnan, fell.
The father, son, brother, son, nephew, and grandson of the Zhu family were all locked up in prison vans and transported to Bianliang City.
What awaits them will be a very miserable fate.
Everything else is easy to say.
For the sake of getting a lot of money for himself, Zhao Ji always talks about Zhu Xie.
It is precisely because of knowing this that Wang Xiao charged Zhu Xie with a crime of rebellion.
Zhao Ji can forgive other things, but this one cannot.
Collaborating with Fang La, he tried to establish the so-called Great Zhou Dynasty to replace Zhao Song.
Regardless of whether this incident is true or not, as long as the evidence is in the hands of Zhao Ji, the fate of Zhu Xie's family will be destined.
Wang Xiao made another fortune.
Although the eunuch had a valuable local specialty, compared to the hundreds of thousands of acres of land under the names of Zhu Jie brothers, that was a small amount of money.
Su Shi, who was once the governor of Hangzhou, was the governor of Hangzhou Prefecture. He once said, "The people who are good at asking about the people's land are only 2,000 acres."
This means that the price of local land acres is two jin of money.
That was during the Yuanyou period. Decades passed, and Jiangnan suffered another disaster. It would be no problem to sell three jin of money per mu of land.
This is a revenue worth millions of RMB.
A large number of precious antiques, calligraphy and paintings, coral pearls and so on were also found at Zhu Xie's house.
These things were sent to Bianliang City for sale, which was another huge amount of money.
As a place where wealth gathers in the world, Bianliang City once sold tens of thousands of coins of money.
