Latest website:
The Ye family is finished.
The head of the family, Ye Dehua, was beheaded by the King of Han Dynasty.
As the news spread, it caused an uproar in an instant.
The entire gentry and powerful people in Suzhou Prefecture were all panicked, and they didn't understand how they had provoked this fierce god, the King of Han.
The King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, was famous for being arrogant, domineering and lawless!
Killing Ye Dehua, the head of the Xiao family, in public, and encouraging the people to report and sue the gentry for their crimes. What kind of behavior is this?
He, Zhu Gaoxu, is really a damned evil thief, a vulgar person who does not hesitate to mess around!
The Xiao family's residence.
Everyone's expressions were extremely ugly.
They did learn about Han King Zhu Gaoxu's trip to Jiangnan.
But no one took this matter to heart, or they didn't care at all.
No matter how arrogant and domineering the King of Han Zhu Gaoxu is, is it possible that he can still bloodbath the entire Jiangnan gentry?
You must know that His Highness the King of Han is rumored to be interested in seizing the throne and losing the support of the Jiangnan nobles. How can he, Zhu Gaoxu, seize the throne and fight for the throne?
Because of this, even if the Jiangnan gentry knew that Zhu Gaoxu was coming to Jiangnan, they didn't take it to heart at all. They would drink and eat meat when they should.
But no one thought that this bastard Prince Han would really dare to kill someone!
On the first day he arrived in Jiangnan, he killed the head of the Ye family in Suzhou Prefecture!
So who will be next?
The Xiao family, the Chu family, or the Lin family?
None of these four people is clean, and none of them can withstand investigation!
Suddenly, everyone in the Xiao family was extremely panicked.
In the meeting hall, the key members of the Xiao family gathered together.
"Brother, Ye Dehua was beheaded by the King of Han in public, and all the others were imprisoned. The Ye family is finished!"
The man in rich clothes at the bottom on the left was the first to lose his composure and spoke in a panic.
This man is the third eldest son of the Xiao family. He is only twenty-seven or eighty years old. He has dark circles under his eyes, his eyes are cloudy, and he looks like he has been drunk too much.
"Now the King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, has led his troops to the Chu family, causing people to panic. There are rumors outside that our homes will be confiscated and our clans will be exterminated..."
"Shut up!"
The head of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhengwen, shouted angrily, interrupting his third son to continue speaking.
Awed by the master's power, the people who were noisy before suddenly became quiet.
Xiao Zhengwen nodded and said in a deep voice.
"The Ye family is indeed doomed, but that's because they deserved to die!"
"Ye Dehua's scheme against Zhou Chen is a recipe for his own death. After all, Zhou Chen is an imperial envoy entrusted by the emperor. He dares to frame Zhou Chen, and he deserves to die!"
"As far as I know, Zhou Chen was originally a member of the King of Han's party. When Zhou Chen became the imperial envoy, he was recommended by the King of Han!"
"The King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, did all this painstakingly. Naturally, it is impossible to really investigate the official fields in Jiangnan. He should have wanted to surrender us Jiangnan nobles and help him seize the throne. In the end, his plan was ruined by the Ye family. That's why the Ye family has To end today’s genocide!”
Hearing this, everyone in the Xiao family nodded, and in panic they all agreed with Xiao Zhengwen's statement.
Xiao Zhengwen nodded complacently upon seeing this, applauding his analysis.
"So, what we should do now is just to raise money!"
"As long as the belly of that Han King Zhu Gaoxu is filled, there will be no four big families in Suzhou, only my Xiao family!"
Everyone in the Xiao family was overjoyed after hearing this. As long as they could spend money to buy their lives, it wouldn't be a problem!
However, at this moment, a servant hurried in.
"Master, it's not good!"
"The Chu family was also raided, and the King of Han came to our house with his troops and horses!"
Everyone: "???"
Xiao Zhengwen: "???"
Damn it?
Wrong analysis?
Why did you copy the Chu family?
While everyone was stunned, His Highness the King of Han had already arrived with his men.
It's still the familiar process of breaking a goal, and it's still the same soldier wearing the same toughness.
Xiao Zhengwen was still thinking carefully about which step of his analysis went wrong. The next moment, he was roughly pressed to the ground by the soldier, and then dragged out like a dead dog.
"Who is the head of the Xiao family?"
In front of the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Zhengwen heard a majestic voice and subconsciously raised his hand.
The next second, Xiao Zhengwen's vision went dark, and the good guy's head flew out.
Xiao Zhengwen met the King of Han Zhu Gaoxu. Before he died, he couldn't understand why the King of Han did this!
Aren't you the King of Han?
Aren't you going to fight for the throne?
What's the point of killing us all?
Unfortunately, he will never know the answer.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at the stunned Xiao family and waved his hands impatiently.
"Put them all in jail and go to the next house!"
The Xiao family is finished!
In one day, Han King Zhu Gaoxu massacred four families in Suzhou Prefecture, shocking the entire Jiangnan!
The king of Han went to his camp.
After Kuang Zhong heard the news, instead of feeling happy, he actually looked unhappy.
Zhou Chen was very puzzled when he saw this. Could it be that the Suzhou magistrate had really fallen?
"Brother Bolu, Prince Han eliminates harm for the people. This is a good thing that pleases people. Why do you feel so sad?"
Kuang Zhong sighed after hearing this, and then explained.
"Xun Ru, the four families have been eradicated, but their collateral branches are still there!"
"Moreover, most of these people are subordinate officials in the eight counties of Suzhou Prefecture. How should we deal with them?"
"Now His Highness the King of Han is slaughtering four families in succession to relieve his hatred. But after these subordinate officials and subordinates learn about it, they will immediately have other thoughts. By then, all the yamen in the entire Suzhou Mansion may not be able to function anymore!"
It was a very simple thing to just slaughter four families. Kuang Zhong had even thought of doing this!
But what happens after this?
What to do with those collateral branches?
What to do with those assistant officials and subordinates?
Is it possible to kill them all too?
The normal operation of the yamen government office is completely inseparable from these rank-and-file assistant officials and subordinates!
In a sense, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net They are the ones who really control the local power!
After hearing Kuang Zhong's words, Zhou Chen's face also darkened.
"All subordinate officials in the world should be killed!"
A low shout came.
I saw Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, striding in, full of murderous aura.
"Kuang Bolu, don't look forward and backward when doing things, and you can't do anything like a rat!"
"What about those subordinate officials? If there is a murder case on them, they will all be killed!"
"Could it be that without these subordinate officials and subordinates, the Ming Dynasty will not be able to function?"
"Without the four major families of the Xiao family and the Ye family, as well as other powerful gentry, they will naturally be more anxious than us, scrambling to fill the vacated positions, and competing to share the benefits vacated by the four major families!"
As soon as these words came out, Kuang Zhong felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
Why didn't I think of this?
He only saw that the forces of the four major families were intertwined and had already become an unstoppable force, so he never dared to take action against them and could only make concessions with the four major families.
But Kuang Zhong never thought that the positions of the four families had long been coveted and they were also facing danger!
"Your Highness is wise, Kuang Zhong has learned a lesson!"
Zhou Chen on the side frowned and asked a question.
"My lord, if that's the case, doesn't it mean that after killing the four families, there will be four more families in the near future?"
Zhu Gaoxu nodded and did not deny his statement.
"If the imperial decree is not changed, the phenomenon of powerful gentry annexing fields will continue to exist. If one group is killed, another group will appear. This is something that no one can stop!"
"However, we can slow down this process, and a whip in your hands can do it!"
"With the lessons learned from the four great families, the rest of the gentry will not dare to take the lead again. This is the best time to implement the One Whip Method!"
