Chapter 288: Sitting in the capital and moving the world

Not all prime ministers can have the money to live in Yongle Fang, but Prime Minister Shen Kuan lives in Yongle Fang, which is not too far from the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

Shen Kuan, born in Wuxing Shen.

Wuxing Shen family, is a typical Jiangnan family, long before the establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty, Wu Xing Shen family has a large number of talents, hundreds of years to see the history of the 158 people, of which 38 people have a true biography.

After Emperor Taizu established the Great Jin Dynasty, Wuxing Shen's family, as a Jiangnan family, began to be an official in the Great Jin Dynasty, in the first hundred years, Wuxing Shen's Jiangnan family was lower than those Northern Zhou clans, but with the Great Jin Dynasty unified the world, similar to Wuxing Shen's Jiangnan family, they suddenly raised their heads and gradually took over the right to speak in the hands of the Northern Zhou clan, and began to dominate the Shilin trend.

A person like Shen Kuan, who was born in a Jiangnan family, has risen to prominence in the court, which is a good example of how the power of the Jiangnan family has been expanding rapidly in the past forty years.

This is called the southward migration of cultural context.

Wuxing Shen is not only a scholar, he is a big landlord in Jiangnan, almost thirty percent of the land in Wuxing is the property of their Shen family, after Shen Kuan worships the prime minister, Wuxing Shen is even more prosperous, even if the Jiangnan East Road envoy comes to see the Shen family, the Shen family does not necessarily appreciate the face.

Last year, after Shen Kuan was made an auxiliary minister, the prestige of the Shen family of Wuxing reached the extreme, and the scholars of the four miles and eight towns and even officials from all over the country could not see Shen Kuan, so they went to the gate of the Shen family of Wuxing to ask for a meeting, and competed to become the doorman of the Shen family.

With this family background, Shen Kuan will naturally not be short of money, in fact, he is the most rich prime minister in the Great Jin Dynasty in the past few decades, and in Yongle Fang alone, Wuxing Shen has three industries.

It is also for this reason that Shen Kuan generally only accepts antique literary toys, or unique rare books, calligraphy and paintings of predecessors, etc., and rarely collects money, which is nicknamed Yaxiang by the market.

However, this "Yaxiang" has been killed by Li Xin himself, and the Wuxing Shen family, even if he is not exterminated this time, will be greatly injured by this, and even directly knocked into the dust, and the family road that has flourished for hundreds of years will fall.

During the Taikang Dynasty, the Zheng family of Xingyang and the Li family of Zhaojun who had inherited for thousands of years of the Northern Zhou family, under the unremitting digging of several generations of the Son of Heaven and the efforts of Li Xin, the landfiller, have almost been buried in the grave of history, and this time, since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Jiangnan family in the local area will also be greatly damaged because of Shen Kuan.

Yongle Fang is not small, but it is not very big, Shen Kuan's Xiangfu is only two streets away from Jing'an Hou's Mansion, Li Xin and Xie Dai only walked a small half a pillar of incense time, and then walked to Shen Kuan's door, Jing'an Hou's Mansion hid his hands in his wide sleeves, and glanced at the Shen Mansion in front of him lightly.

"Go in and arrest people, as long as it is the people in this house, whether they are men, women, old or young, all of them will be arrested."

Xie Dai sighed slightly, bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "Xiaguan obeys orders." ”

Shanyin Xie and Wuxing Shen are the same as the Jiangnan family, and now the Wuxing Shen family is about to suffer, and he, a child of the Jiangnan family, is inevitably a little sad for the rabbit to die.

All the big families have a problem, that is, there are many servants, Li Xin's Jing'an Hou Mansion, once was the Qi Palace, in terms of land occupation is already one of the best in Yongle Fang, but the descendants of Jing'an Hou Mansion add up to a hundred, Shen Mansion's house is not big, at most less than half of Jing'an Hou Mansion, but there are hundreds of servants before and after.

Because there were too many people in the Shen Mansion, Yu Linwei's manpower was even a little insufficient, Xie Dai caught half of the people, and mobilized more than 30 Yu Linwei to come over to help, and carried out it for about an hour, and finally the people in the Shen Mansion were called in the backyard of the Shen Mansion, and Shen Kuan's dozens of family members were all tied up and sent to the Dali Temple prison.

This time, it is not only Shen Kuan's family that needs to be arrested, but also his protégés, former officials, and even fellow clans and fellow villagers.

As for Shen Kuan's family, there is no need to interrogate, because Shen Kuan has already determined that he is plotting rebellion, and the Shen family will be beheaded all over the house, and these people will definitely die.

After careful study, Wu Xing Shen will also be implicated.

As early as when Yuan Zhao Tianzi had a conflict with Shen Kuan, Shen Mansion was targeted by the guards, so Shen Kuan's family basically failed to escape, and they were all arrested, and the arrest was carried out for more than an hour.

This thing is for him to do, but he doesn't need to do it himself, he just needs to show his face and carry this black pot down.

After all the people were arrested, Xie Dai wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked in front of Li Xin, bowed his head and arched his hand: "Taifu, all the people of the Shen family have been taken into the prison of Dali Temple, but there are still hundreds of subordinates of the Shen family, and now they are gathered in the backyard, and the lower officials suspect that there may be a Shen family, hiding among these subordinates......"

"If you don't bother, then you can go and investigate, find out the people hiding inside, and throw them in prison."

Li Xin said indifferently: "Today is just the first round of arrests, I will let the people from the Criminal Department interrogate the people arrested today, and then Yu Linwei will cooperate with the Criminal Department, and if they interrogate a person, you will arrest a person." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused.

"If there is any resistance, it is said that it is on my orders."

Carrying a black pot has to have the appearance of carrying a black pot, Li Xin has never been afraid of offending people.

Xie Dai glanced at Li Xin with a complicated expression, and then bowed his head deeply: "The lower official obeys the order." ”

He still admires the man in front of him in his heart.

In terms of age, he is not much younger than Taifu, but whether it is knowledge, court status, or even wisdom, he is much inferior to Li Xin.

The Marquis of Jing'an stood up from his chair and stretched his waist.

"Tomorrow the post will say that the left servant of Shangshutai shot Shen Kuan for conspiracy to usurp, and beheaded all the doors, and three days later, all these people arrested today will be killed on Xishi Street."

"If you can't find the executioner, let the people from Jingzhao Mansion find it, they are familiar with this job, and I will go to Xishi Street to supervise the beheading in three days."

Xie Dai smiled bitterly: "Taifu, the court kills people to be reported by the local government, and the criminal department reviews them, and then there is the Son of Heaven who is red, you can't just kill like this......"

"Moreover, the place where the official was beheaded was not Xishi Street, but Liushufang North Street......"

Marquis Jing'an smiled slightly.

"Xishi Street is a place to behead anti-thieves, and Chengde once didn't know how many anti-thieves were beheaded in Xishi Street to show the public."

There are two cities in the capital, that is, the place where things are traded, among which the things in the west market are cheaper, so the flow of people is very large, the fish and dragons are mixed, when the Chengde Dynasty, because the unification did not last long, from time to time there were anti-thieves into Beijing to assassinate the Son of Heaven, after these anti-thieves were caught, they were beheaded in the West Market Street.

The purpose is very simple, to deter ordinary people and make them settle down.

Li Xin's face was calm: "I will get the documents for killing people in the imperial court, and Xie Lang will go to do things." ”

Xie Dai nodded helplessly, and went down to take people to get busy.

And Li Xin went back to Jing'an's Mansion to sleep with his hands behind his back.

Just when the "liquidation" of the capital was in full swing, a six-hundred-mile express was sent to the capital from the southwest, and then directly to the table of the emperor of the palace.

The content of the letter was simple, just two or three lines.

"Our army and the southwest army fought outside the Sword Pavilion, and the enemy had heavenly thunder firearms, and our army was defeated."

The inscription was Xie Jing, the deputy general of the Hanzhong Army.

After reading this letter, the young Tianzi's face instantly turned ugly.
