Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 320 Bond
"Your time to die has arrived, Master Xu!"

In the early morning of the next day, Yang Chao walked into the second wing room. This Mr. Xu was extremely uncooperative yesterday and kept cursing at Zhao Kang who was interrogating him.

In the end, Yang Chao asked Zhao Kang to cut off one of his ears, and knocked him out. After getting some blood, Xu Cheng was frightened and confessed honestly.

Yang Chao plans to try it on him today.

One ear was cut off, the second Master Xu is much more depressed today.

"Hmph, kill!"

Second, Mr. Xu seems to be someone who is not afraid of death.

Yang Chao sighed: "Master Xu, why are you bothering? If you cooperate with me, I can save your life. To tell you the truth, there were several Master Xu who cooperated with me yesterday. A letter of guarantee has been written. If you can also cooperate, I can protect the lives of your family. If you don’t believe me, I can write a letter of guarantee immediately.”

Second, Master Xu glanced at Yang Chao, with anger in his eyes: "You don't want to cheat me."

Yang Chao sighed, "Tricking you? You probably know about places such as Women's Hall Wannianbai, Sanshi Shangshufang, Yiyantang Rockery, etc. Everything there is taken out by me. The Xu family is really rich. Ten A big silver cellar, a total of ten!"

Second, Master Xu couldn't help but widen his eyes. After his ears were cut yesterday, he was knocked out. He didn't know what happened afterwards. Hearing this, his psychological defense immediately became a little unstable.

Yang Chao smiled and said, "I didn't lie to you, did I?"

The second Mr. Xu couldn't help but smiled bitterly: "Since you know everything, why do you still need to ask the old man?"

Yang Chao smiled and said, "I know some, but there are still some I don't know."

The second master Xu calmly said: "What do you want to know?"

Yang Chao said with a smile: "The place where Xu's family hid weapons and armor, I have only found one place, and only the general's house has weapons. This is unreasonable. Could it be that Shangshudi and Dafudi's families really didn't participate in the rebellion?"

The second master Xu is the long house of the general's house. Yang Chao told him that the other two families were not found, in order to arouse his reaction.

Sure enough, the second master Xu snorted coldly: "Okay, all the ungrateful guys who want to sell our second room are dreaming!"

Yang Chao doubted: "Could it be that Shang Shudi also has it? Does the doctor's also have it?"

The second master Xu snorted coldly: "There is no such thing! The underground hall of the Shangshu No. [-] women's family, the mezzanine of the doctor's No. [-] Zangshu Pavilion! My general No. [-] is—"

Speaking of this, Master Xu suddenly froze for the second time, and opened his eyes wide: "Are you cheating on me?"

Yang Chao was noncommittal.

The second master Xu said angrily: "You don't know any of them, do you?"

Yang Chao shook his head: "Of course I know. But it's true to protect you. Since you have confessed everything, I will protect your family from death. But you have to cooperate with me."

At this time, the second Master Xu sighed and slapped himself left and right.

In the same way, he quickly asked where the general had hidden his weapons.

Last time, Yang Chao took advantage of the prisoner's psychology of unequal information, but this time Yang Chao took advantage of the human weakness of different hearts.

In fact, as long as they are interrogated separately, it is impossible for ordinary prisoners not to confess. Let alone a dozen or more, as long as there are more than three, it will be fine, and it will be more difficult for two.

He actually hid the silver in the inner room of the women's family members. Yang Chao was not polite. He sent troops not only to take out the weapons and equipment, but also looted all the gold and silver jewelry of the women's family members, and then knocked out some places where the property was hidden outside. He took 200 million taels of silver, as well as gold, silver, jewelry and other things.

There are also a lot of weapons and equipment. The Xu family alone has hidden [-] spears, [-] pairs of iron armor, [-] pairs of cotton armor, [-] bows, [-] pairs of crossbows, waist knives, and big knives. Wait, there are countless weapons.

With so many weapons, it can't actually prove that there is an intention to rebel. It's just that in the Ming Dynasty, this is already a capital crime, and it is still a felony of ransacking the family and exterminating the clan.

Needless to say, the Xu family has already made it, so what a fart!
Xu Du was completely dumbfounded. He didn't expect to be found by Yang Chao. At the same time, he hated the elders in the clan. Yang Chao just interrogated them and recruited them all. Isn't this a betrayal of the clan?

But what's the matter now, luckily he was under custody, so he committed suicide once and didn't die.

But he suddenly didn't want to die anymore. Everything he did was not for the sake of the family. As a descendant elite of the family, he rebelled for the family.

Moreover, this rebellion has long been an open secret, and even got the acquiescence of the local government. In the Kuocangshan rebellion a few years ago, no one suffered a loss. Hundreds of refugees died. The rich and powerful took the opportunity to annex many lands. The government took the opportunity Withholding the imperial court's taxes, everyone ate their mouths full of oil, but in the end no one was held accountable.

Didn't it already be agreed this time, Xu Du came forward, and finally ordered him to be an official, and then the responsibility was pushed to Yao Sunyi's party. Isn't there someone in the court who guarantees it? How did it happen now? This way.

Xu Du really couldn't figure it out. He studied and practiced martial arts since he was a child. He claimed to be both civil and military. He was the head of the children of wealthy families from far and near. He was always proud of his reputation. Not reconciled, he felt that if he became an official, he would definitely be able to make a career, but it was a pity that the court did not give him this opportunity.

He made such a bad move just to realize his ideals and ambitions, so he may have made a mistake!

Yang Chao looked at this large amount of gold and silver treasures, and saw that large amount of weapons and equipment, and couldn't help but lament in his heart, with so much money, there is nothing to be satisfied with.

Dongyang County is a mountainous county, and there are not many good fields, all of which are concentrated near the various rivers around Ziwei Mountain, and more than half of the title deeds of these lands have been searched from the Xu family. It can be said that the Xu family occupies more than half of Dongyang County. Good field.

How could such a family make such a risky move.

Now such a huge amount of wealth has been swept away by Yang Chao, and their weapons and equipment have also been taken away by Yang Chao. I am afraid that they will not be able to recover their vitality for a long time, at least it is impossible to arm tens of thousands of people to make trouble again.

Yang Chao didn't want to kill them all. The actions of these wealthy families are despicable, but will they be beaten to distribute the land to the poor?Yang Chao knew that it was just a way to cause more troubles. The violent distribution of wealth could not solve the problem. The problem was to let the productive forces continue to develop. It was best to start the industrial and commercial revolution in the Ming Dynasty. Only industry can support more people. Could feed hundreds of millions of people.

This is why whenever China's population exceeds [-] million, there will be a large-scale war. After half of the population dies, the dynasty will change and start all over again.

Sighing, he walked into the first room.

"Master Xu, I have also written a letter of guarantee for you, now it's time for you to cooperate with me."

"Master Yang, please tell me what you want Xiaomin to do."

"Write a confession!"

Master Xu immediately became vigilant: "I don't know what confession the lord wants the villain to write?"

Yang Chao sighed: "I have said that I can only protect the next family. So you have to put aside the responsibility of your family and confess that the other families are rebelling. As long as your family is not involved, I will guarantee you. That way your family can get away with it.”

Xu Cheng was suspicious, but he could only write a confession and sold the other twelve houses.

Dead friends are not dead poor, although they all have the same ancestor, it is not easy for everyone to have a big family.

……

In the end, twelve confessions were obtained, the second master Xu refused to write, and the other houses honestly wrote according to Yang Chao's instructions.

These twelve confessions were all to shift the responsibility for the rebellion to the other houses. Yang Chao guaranteed that this house did not participate, signed and stamped them, and even stamped them with official seals. Yang Chao kept one copy in duplicate. , they took another copy.

With so many things, the Xu family should not be able to make trouble.

I'm afraid that once Yang Chao leaves, the younger generation should accuse the older generation of betraying the family's interests.

And the houses will also blame each other, those who have not confessed blame those who have confessed, and those who have confessed less will blame those who have confessed more, but they can't tell who confessed more and who confessed less, who confessed and who did not , because Yang Chao was interrogated separately.

In the end, they will only blame each other and suspect each other. In the future, the Xu family will no longer be able to twist together. If they don't make trouble and separate, it will be considered family training. In the end, Yang Chao will not fight with each other. strangeness.

But none of them dared to jump out against Yang Chao. After all, they got Yang Chao's letter of guarantee, which means they got the amulet and escaped from the rebellion.

But if they dare to aspire to Yang Chao and impeach Yang Chao through various relationships, Yang Chao doesn't mind taking out the confessions written by other houses to punish them. With their IQ, I'm afraid they will figure it out soon and guess. They also wrote down their own confessions in other houses. Even if they couldn't guess it, they could find out through other channels. After all, they are a family, and it is impossible to hide the news forever.

Therefore, it is impossible for the Xu family to be united in the future. Instead, they are all tied to Yang Chao. Not to mention that they will not sue Yang Chao, even if someone wants to sue Yang Chao, such as that Chen Zilong, they will definitely try to deny it.

Thinking about the scene where Chen Zilong impeached Yang Chao for looting people's wealth afterwards, but the Xu family actively denied it, Yang Chao found it interesting.

Now that the matter was over, there was no need for Yang Chao to keep the Xu family locked up, and they were all released.

Then there was a banquet for everyone to eat.

However, they did not relax their control over the Xu family. At this time, all parts of the Xu family were occupied by Yang Chao's soldiers.

Now even the [-] civilian husbands are armed. Although they don't have iron armor, each holding a spear is enough to deter Xu's family members.

What's more, Xu Jiajia Ding is still not allowed to enter the house at this time.

"Master Xu, I have offended you a lot, please forgive me!"

A big banquet was held, and the heads of the houses were invited, as well as Xudu Chen Zilong and others.

The expressions of each room are not right, they all look at other people with a kind of deep guard, but Xu Du doesn't hide the hatred in everyone's eyes.

Yang Chao continued: "It's a matter here. According to my investigation, the Xu family did not hide any weapons or raise dead soldiers. I apologize to everyone!"

After finishing speaking, he toasted, but everyone was stunned, especially Yao Sunfei who always looked like a winner.
