Hangzhou government office.
The magistrate of Hangzhou was sitting on an armchair, holding a cup of pre-Ming Longjing tea in his hand. He held a celadon cup from the official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty and wanted to take a sip of tea.
However, he suddenly realized that his hands were a little out of control and began to tremble.
The boiling hot water overflowed and seeped into his hands, but he didn't feel hot at all.
How was this possible?
How was this possible?
When did the Jinyiwei come to the southeast?
How could the county magistrate of Shaoxing fall into the net overnight?
It had been five days since the county magistrate of Shaoxing was arrested.
Five days!
Five days later, he found out the news!
What made him tremble the most was that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and the other pirates were all captured.
He knew that something big was about to happen.
He wanted to send someone to Fujian to inform Lin Tingzhi.
However, this morning, the Hangzhou government office was surrounded by the soldiers of the Hangzhou Guards. No one was allowed to move in the government office. Anyone who stepped out of the government office would be killed on the spot!
Ma Wensheng had good methods! Tian Zi had good methods!
When he secretly went to Fujian, he told Lin Tingzhi, the governor of Fujian, that the emperor had just ascended the throne. His eyes would not only be on the northern border. Sooner or later, he would have to clean up the southeast.
At that time, He Guangxue suggested that the smuggling matter be suppressed and the pirates sent out to sea, destroying all evidence to prevent future troubles.
However, Lin Tingzhi did not listen and even looked down on the new emperor.
That's right, with such a huge profit in front of them, who could stop? They couldn't defend it!
Retribution had come. Now, it was not as simple as just beheading.
He Guangxue couldn't do anything now. All he could do was beg the new emperor to show mercy and not kill his clansmen, but was that possible?
……
At the Hangzhou Governor's Office.
A temporary prison was set up.
The Jinyiwei were good at extorting confessions through torture.
At this moment, the county magistrate of Shaoxing County was already peeing and defecating. His clothes were already drenched in his own cold sweat, and he would occasionally let out a low groan or two.
White Tiger held a cucumber and a dagger in his hand. He said as he cut,"Lord Zhang, Governor Ma has given the order. Bite out ten of them and they will slaughter your clan.”
"Do you want me to torture you, or do you want to say it yourself?”
The white tiger took a bite of the cucumber. It was tender and fragrant.
Zhang Yin was not a tough guy. In the fifth year of Chenghua, the Ming Dynasty's juren generally could not be promoted to the county magistrate.
However, through the operation of the Fujian governor, Lin Tingzhi, he finally became a seventh-grade county magistrate in Shanyin.
"Tell me, I'll tell you myself."
The white tiger was very satisfied. He glanced at the commandant beside him."Record it."
The lieutenant quickly took out a book of questions.
"When did you start colluding with the Japanese?" White Tiger asked.”
"Fifteen years of Chenghua," Magistrate Zhang hurriedly replied.”
"Oh, it's only been less than twenty years.”"What did you smuggle?" White Tiger nodded.”
Magistrate Zhang broke out in cold sweat.
"Speak!" White Tiger snapped.
"Porcelain, tea leaves, silk…"
White Tiger's gaze turned cold, and he said with a dark face,""If you want to treat me as a fool, then I won't waste any more time with you. Men, torture me!”
Just looking at Shu Zither and the other Xing Ju, Zhang Zhixian was already trembling in fear. How could he still dare to be stubborn now?
"Also, there are also abandoned fire…firearms, crouching tiger cannons, sabers, swords, and some dilapidated Great Ming Treasure Ships.”
The white tiger nodded. His skin was very white, and his fair face was flushed with anger.
These were the military equipment of the southeast and even the entire Ming Dynasty!
They were smuggled overseas and allowed to be dismantled by the other party before being manufactured to counterattack the Ming Dynasty.
This group of bastards! If it wasn't for Governor Ma wanting them alive, White Tiger really wished he could hammer them to death right now!
Back then, when the Japanese pirates sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty, the first thing they learned was how to smelt Japanese knives.
Now that the Japanese swords were getting sharper and sharper, the number of people who had died under these weapons in the southeast coast was unknown!
Did this group of bastards not have any feelings for their country? Could he really be so heartless for money?
What can be corrupted and what can't be touched? These civil officials don't even know the f * cking rules?!
" There are those people?!" The white tiger roared as it asked the last question.
"Hangzhou prefect, Fujian governor, Zhejiang provincial judge, Zhejiang left political governor, Fujian capital commander, command experience of the four guards of Ningbo, Wenzhou, Jiaxing, and Haining.”
"The water bandits of Daqu Island, Fuzhou…"
" Haining County Magistrate, Qiantang County Magistrate, Mingxi County Magistrate, Qingliu County Magistrate, Ninghua County Magistrate…"
When the county magistrate of Shaoxing's Shanyin County revealed the names of the officials in the Southeast region, White Tiger's expression was extremely gloomy.
He took the lieutenant's notebook and left the imperial prison with a cold expression.
He had only taken two steps when the white tiger suddenly turned around."Give me a heavy punishment! Don't kill him! Leave a breath behind!"
"What? Sir, didn't you say that you wouldn't let me be tortured? No, no…"
"F * ck you!" The white tiger cursed and turned to leave.
……
At the Governor's Mansion.
Ma Wensheng's face was livid as he looked at the names sent by the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
Before this, he had secretly sent the list of suspects to the emperor.
Now, it seemed that the result was almost exactly the same as what he had suspected.
Ma Wensheng was an official. In the four months that he had been the governor of the Southeast, he had never dared to slack off. Every day, he analyzed the list of Southeast officialdom sent by the cabinet and the Ministry of Personnel. Through logical analysis, he selected batches of key suspects.
Now that he thought about it, His Majesty should have already taken control of the Fujian officialdom.
He could use his saber now!
Not long after.
The governor's steward walked over with tea.
Ma Wensheng looked at him coldly and shouted,""Men, drag this person out and kill him!”
The steward bowed his head and knelt down. He said in a trembling voice,"What does Lord Ma mean by this? I am a citizen of the Ming Dynasty. Even if you have a high position and power, you can't kill people casually. Aren't you afraid that the Imperial Censorate will impeach you?”
"Moreover, killing a citizen of my Ming Dynasty requires the court to convict him and hand him over to Bei Zhi Li's Board of Punishments for approval. This lowly one knows these rules!”
Ma Wensheng grinned disdainfully.
"What a sharp-tongued dog.”
Clang!
"Let me ask you, are you qualified?"”
"You colluded with the Hangzhou Prefecture Magistrate and leaked the news of the Governor's Estate. Do you think I'm blind?”
"I didn't kill you in the past because I kept you alive to inform the others!”
"Men, cut him down!"
Qi Jingtong didn't say a word and raised his saber to chop it off!
He didn't give the manager any chance to argue.
Fresh blood flowed in the Governor's Office's meeting hall. No matter if it was Ma Wensheng, Qi Jingtong, or the Embroidered Uniform Guards, none of them felt uncomfortable.
The three of them continued to discuss the next deployment expressionlessly.
