And the other salt merchants and gentlemen trembled because of this.Ye Qixian couldn't help but shout in a trembling voice: "My emperor is wise!
Thunder removes greed, and the ministers admire!
The minister is willing to give another 500,000 taels of silver!
”Originally, Ye Qixian and other salt merchants planned to use 100,000 taels to send the emperor away.After all, taking too much is easy to expose their wealth, and they really can't be so generous.But now, the East Factory has been tried, and even Li Qiao, a salt road official, can get a bribe of 800,000 taels, and if these salt merchants only give 100,000 taels to the emperor, it is indeed a little unreasonable, so Ye Qixian immediately increased the amount of silver offered.Zhu Youxiao just glanced at Ye Qixian.He really didn't know if these salt merchants were really ignorant or really coercive, so he thought that he could take as little money as possible and didn't take it out.As the emperor, how much silver you want from your salt merchant, when will it be up to you salt merchant to decide, isn't it my final say?
Didn't I say how much I would take?
I'm just done with it, do you still have any opinions?
Don't talk about silver, you can't refuse to take your life.It's me who holds the knife, not you, the salt merchant.But Zhu Youxiao is too lazy to meet these coerced salt merchants now, after all, with the habit of these salt merchants who are rich and rival countries, they can even escape the salt tax totaling only two million taels every year, and it is really impossible to be angry with them."
Take them to watch the punishment first!
Then, he brought them to Ye Qixian's house to see me, and passed the decree that since the salt merchant Ye Qixian was so loyal and willing to give money to me, then I could not help but show grace, and then I would stay in his mansion as a temporary palace. ”Zhu Youxiao knew that Yangzhou salt merchants were rich in the world, and their mansions were more luxurious than one another, and even many were far better than the royal gardens.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao also made an order because of this, and looked at Ye Qixian: "Ye Qixian, what do you think?"
”Ye Qixian dared to refuse, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty can come to the cold house, it is the luck of the Ye family, thank Your Majesty for your grace." ”"Okay, then please ask your government to send someone to lead the way, and you yourself will go to watch the punishment first, just like other salt merchants."
Zhu Youxiao said."
Yes!"
Ye Qixian replied with a smile.So, Zhu Youxiao's holy car went to the Ye Family Shouzhi Garden, the predecessor of the garden.And here, Ye Qixian and other salt merchants came to the execution ground and began to watch the execution.Huang Zongke and Xu Shaocheng had been netted on a wooden frame, and when Xiong Tingbi began to order the execution, the medical guards began to take out various knives and move knives on these people."
AhhWhen the medical soldiers had just cut the first knife, Huang Zongke and the others screamed.And these salt merchants who watched the execution couldn't help but tremble, and even had urinary incontinence."
Thorn!"
At the same time, Yan Ding, who followed Huang Zongke and others to prevent the holy car from entering the city, was also hit and executed.When the military attache gave the order, the recruits in charge of executing the salts immediately took their spears and stabbed them to death on the spot.One by one, the dices of salt were poured on the spot.The entire execution ground was full of corpses.The salt merchants were even more discouraged, and began to realize how miserable the fate of the emperor would be.As soon as Zhu Youxiao came to Ye Qixian's mansion, he was shocked by the living environment of this big salt merchant.Because of this, Zhu Youxiao once again felt very hurt.He had to admit that not only did Li Sancai, a wealthy northern man who was both a wealthy merchant and a high-ranking civil official, live better than him, the emperor, but the living environment of this Yangzhou salt merchant also hampered his internal living conditions in the Qianqing Palace.There are even a lot of over-the-top decorations.Zhu Youxiao understood more and more why so many people didn't want him to go down to Jiangnan since he came out of Beijing."
Your Majesty, the salt merchants have arrived!"
At this time, Han Yi walked in and said back and forth."
Let them all come here and listen to my instructions."
Zhu Youxiao commanded.Not long after, Ye Qixian and other salt merchants came to Zhu Youxiao and knelt in front of Zhu Youxiao honestly."
Let's all be flat!"
Zhu Youxiao said first."
Your Majesty."
The salt merchants then stood up honestly, and did not dare to breathe."
I am very disappointed in you, let's not say anything else, just talk about this silver offering, and humiliate me with 100,000 taels, is what I lack is 100,000 taels?!"
What I lack is sincerity, what I lack is loyalty, and let's talk about the fact that Yangzhou City does not let me enter, you are all dead, or do you think that I am as easy to deceive as a three-year-old child?
The prefect has been held hostage by traitors, and you people are sitting back and watching such a thing happen one by one, and the safety of Yangzhou City has nothing to do with you?
Also, why don't you go to the holy car outside the city in advance to greet you?!
However, I don't bother to settle these things with you, I just want to find out whether you are loyal to me or not, since you want to give silver, then each person will give 20% of the family property, one percent will be filial piety to me, and one percent will be used to repair Yangzhou City!
”Zhu Youxiao said.At this time, the salt merchant named Yao Sunju couldn't help but let out an "ah"."
AhhZhu Youxiao asked."
Grass people, grass people."
Yao Sunju swallowed and vomited."
I don't know if you want to or not, the whole world is not the king's land, and the whole world is mine!
How much money I want from you, or even if I don't want your life, is it up to you to decide?!
”Zhu Youxiao asked loudly rather indifferently and ruthlessly.Then, Zhu Youxiao instructed: "Wei Zhongxian, take the prepared teams of the East Factory and the Inner Court Inspector to check the properties of these salt merchants, starting with the Ye family. ”Zhu Youxiao said and looked at Ye Qixian, who was already showing pain: "Ye Qixian, I just saw it, I know that you are Ye Qi, the head of the household department of the Xiaomiao Dynasty, after your ancestors changed to Chinese law, I didn't expect your family to become a big salt merchant!"
”Ye Qixian knelt down with a plop at this time: "Your Majesty!
There isn't much silver in the minister's family, and the 500,000 taels offered by the minister are almost all the family business!
I beg Your Majesty to be merciful and harvest less than one percent, even if it is half percent!
”"You think this is a deal, you have the right to bargain?
I didn't ask for it all, it's already a blessing from heaven!
”Zhu Youxiao said.At this time, Wei Zhongxian came over: "Emperor, the Ye family didn't get much cash. ”Zhu Youxiao glanced at him: "How many times have you raided the house in Dongchang, don't you know that they love to hide the silver, go and bring all the sticks in the prefect's yamen and the Yandao yamen prison, and ask them where the silver is!"
If you dare to be honest, then everyone doesn't want this salt profit!
”Zhu Youxiao continued to ask Ye Qixian as he spoke: "Ye Qixian, tell me the truth, how much property does your Ye family have, and how much money does it have?"
”"Your Majesty is gracious, the minister really doesn't have much property!"

Ye Qixian cried out.Zhu Youxiao snorted.Half an hour later, Wei Zhongxian asked the Dongchang Flag School with him to bring a clamping stick, and clamped Ye Qixian first.Ye Qixian kept struggling at first, refusing to put his gloves into the clamping stick, and in the end he was forcibly put into it by the flag school of the East Factory, and then was caught by the people of the East Factory."
AhhYe Qixian suddenly felt pain."
Tell me how much property your family has, and how much cash you have."
Zhu Youxiao asked.Ye Qixian endured the pain and shouted: "Clamp again!"
Work harder," Zhu Youxiao commanded.So, the people from the East Factory continued to clamp up, and Ye Qixian, who was clamped, was sweating profusely, and couldn't help screaming: "Behind the ancestral hall!"
In the secret room behind the ancestral hall!
Turn the candlestick and you're done!
It hurts, it hurts, I beg Your Majesty to be merciful, don't let them clamp it again!
