Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 321

Yao Sunfei couldn't help being silly, didn't he agree that he would play a scene with Yang Chao, and then Yang Chao took the opportunity to enter Xu's house to search, found the Xu family's criminal evidence, and then ransacked Xu's house.

As long as Xu's family is found to be rebellious, Yao Sunyi will be cleared of the charge of forcing against good people, and then he can claim to have regained Dongyang.

But he didn't expect Yang Chao to find so many things, and he just said helplessly that he didn't find it.

Yao Sunfen immediately stood up and retorted: "Master Yang, didn't you obviously find so many weapons and armors, and that big pile of silver? How can you say you didn't find them in broad daylight?"

Yang Chao hummed, and then said: "Lord Yao is joking, those weapons and iron armor are obviously my military resources, and those gold and silver are also brought by me as rewards to my subordinates. The elders of the Xu family can testify, Xu Du Brother can also testify. Right!"

When Yang Chao said that, what did the Xu family not understand? Yang Chao was trying to protect them. Although they had been tossed about just now, they actually felt a little grateful for Yang Chao. They didn't know that this was called Stockholm Synthesis disease, they don't even know about Stockholm.

But it didn't prevent them from agreeing with Yang Chao, and categorically denied that those belonged to the Xu family.

"Master Chen, don't you think so?"

Yang Chao asked the "upright" Chen Zilong again.

I saw Chen Zilong's face twitch twice, he took a breath and said very conflictedly: "The lower officials didn't see it."

Yao Sunfen fell down on the chair in despair, it's over, he was betrayed!
Yang Chao ignored Yao Sunfen, Xu Du rebelled this time, it can be said that Yao Sunfen, a group of civil servants, and wealthy families like the Xu family wrestled with each other, and in the end there was only one unlucky fight for the common people. Neither side was a good bird. The family Yang Chao can still plunder them and completely cut off their capital to make trouble in the future, but for civil officials like Yao Sunfen, Yang Chao really has nothing to do, so he can only make them trouble, and they can't make trouble , implicate Yang Chao, the civil servants will win in the end.

None of them are good birds, Yang Chao doesn't need to help anyone.

But the Xu family can't forget it, after all, they are the most direct responsible persons, and they still have to do Yang Chao a favor.

"Brother Xu Du, I know that your Xu family is not the only one involved in this matter. I hope you will cooperate honestly. I know that there are wealthy families like the Xu family in the counties around Fangyuan. "

Even if Yang Chao was killed, he didn't believe it. In an instant, Xu Du could break through seven counties in a radius, and without exception, there was an internal response to open the city gates. Only Jinhua did not break through, and only Jinhua's wealthy Zhu Dadian family organized a rebel army to defend. It has already explained the problem.

The seven counties of Yiwu, Zhuji, Pujiang, Yongkang, Wuyi, Tangxi, and Lanxi obviously have wealthy families like the Xu family as internal support, otherwise Xu would just run around in these counties, and it would take a few months. In less than a month, he captured these seven counties and raised an army of [-] aggressively. In fact, he just put pressure on the imperial court and made the imperial court's security reasonable.

Unexpectedly, Yang Chao came and destroyed Zhao'an.

Yang Chao of the Xu family naturally wanted to attack them. Now that they have been attacked, the rich families in several other counties will be cheap for nothing?

It's not that easy!
Yang Chao didn't want the Xu family's money to attack the Xu family, and Yang Chao couldn't do it. He took the money to cut off the foundation of the Xu family's troubles in the future. There is no such thing. There is no basis for rebellion in the Zhejiang area, and it is stable.

Therefore, if the Xu family wants to attack, other powerful families will also attack. These families and the Xu family are linked together this time, and I am afraid that they have gained enough benefits from it.

Not to mention breaking up the county town to divide up property, just causing war, displacing a large number of people, or selling land to them cheaply, or selling themselves as slaves to become their servants, these benefits are enough for decades.

"What does Master Yang want to do?"

Xu Du, who had always been high-spirited, was now completely heartless, and asked in a low voice.

This is after the banquet, in a small room, Yang Chao and Xu are having a secret conversation. Of course, in order to prevent this guy who has practiced martial arts since childhood from getting violent, Yang Chao is accompanied by Bian Er and Xie Fei, two of the best masters in the army. They are all dressed in iron armor and holding waist knives, ready to kill at any time, I believe Xu who is unarmed will not have a different mind.

Sure enough, Xu is very cooperative.

Yang Chao said with a smile: "There are wealthy families like the Xu family in the seven counties. I know that they are all involved. I hope you will come forward and invite the heads of their families to visit the Xu family. After staying for a few days, I thoroughly understood the incident.”

Xu Du raised his eyes. He didn't know what Yang Chao wanted to do, because they had lost the ability to think at all, and had been completely destroyed by the blow.

Just said in a low voice: "Obey!"

He doesn't want to guess what Yang Chao wants to do now at all, he only knows what Yang Chao wants him to do, and he just does it.

Xu Du was about to do so immediately, but Yang Chao suddenly said, "Tell those nobles, if they don't come before sunset tomorrow, I will lead troops to the gate!"

The tragedy of the Xu family will surely spread throughout the entire Jinhua Mansion, and even the entire Zhejiang Province. With the eyes and ears of those wealthy families, I am afraid that they are always watching the rebellious Xu family. After all, they have also participated in it, and they want to see it too. As for the results of the Xu family, if the Xu family is fine and Zhaoan can still be an official in the end, maybe there will be another follower.

Yang Chao's guess was right. The news that the Xu family's belongings had been searched and a large number of weapons and supplies spread throughout the counties in an instant.

And the servants of the Xu family also rode fast horses to deliver Yang Chao's invitations to each house in a day.

No need to wait for the sun to set, early the next morning, all the seven wealthy families came to the door.

Yang Chao greeted the representatives of the seven families into the Xu family with a pleasant face, and took them directly to the Xu family's courtyard. The opened silver boxes and piles of weapons and equipment were still where they were yesterday.

Yang Chao wants these people to take a good look around.

When each family saw these things and confirmed the accuracy of their news, each of them couldn't help sweating, who didn't hide a large number of weapons, who didn't keep a large number of dead soldiers, they were all rich, and whoever was in chaos didn't need to protect the huge Property, no weapons, no dead men, how to protect it?By the government?That's too naive!

"Have you seen clearly?"

Yang Chao asked the representatives of these wealthy families coldly. Among them were the smooth old guys and the shrewd young generation.

At this moment, they all nodded: "See clearly!"

What Yang Chao did completely broke Da Ming's fighting rules, but it was impeccable, so they couldn't think of a way to deal with it for a while, so it's better to cooperate obediently at this time.

"Hmph, it's good to see clearly!"

Yang Chao snorted coldly.

"Every family is the same. I believe that you are better than the Xu family. Just take out these things according to the Xu family's standards, and I will let you go. Otherwise, the Xu family is over. Don't you think you can be safe and sound?" matter. If I don’t pull you out one by one, my surname won’t be Yang!”

What Yang Chao said was completely like a desperado who was about to go all out, and suddenly the hearts of these rich people were shocked. If the Xu family is really ruined, they will definitely not be able to get rid of their ties.

Unless it is a real rebellion, if it is not for Yang Chao, they are really not afraid. These families unite and create a battle of [-] family members. The Ming government has to weigh the consequences of attacking them. Besides, which one of them is not the same as the government? A nest of snakes and rats has all kinds of complicated relationship networks, and the government will not touch them.

It's just that Yang Chao, an idiot, came out suddenly and caught them off guard. This time it was a complete mistake.

But according to what the Xu family did, each of their families would be ruined, and all their surplus money would be given to Yang Chao, which would be a serious blow to their vitality.

So immediately one by one wept.

But they were all very smart, no one said they were innocent or guilty, anyway, Yang Chao didn't explicitly say they were guilty, he just kept crying about being poor, indicating that they were not as rich and powerful as the Xu family.

This may be true, the Xu family is indeed a first-class rich family, not every family has the third-generation Shangshu, this is the background of a top-notch wealthy family.

However, Yang Chao would not believe that they could not afford this amount of money. You must know that the wealth found from the Xu family was what was left after the Xu family had brought in 10 people to make a big fuss. Do you really think that those desperadoes and heroes are out of loyalty?

The Xu family has already told Yang Chao about the details of these seven families. They are all the most prominent families in each county, and the least one has nearly 10 mu of fertile land. There are 20 million taels in 200 years. Which of these families is not a rich family with decades or hundreds of years.

Besides, Zhejiang is a silk producing area, and the income from one mu of silk equals five mu of fertile land. Which one of them doesn't grow mulberry and raise silkworms, so 200 million taels can still be used.

But after all, they didn't directly participate, and Yang Chao couldn't push them too hard. Yang Chao would definitely be able to beat them, and it would be very troublesome to involve the forces behind them. Yang Chao still has big things to do next. If you get involved in this kind of struggle, you will be in trouble if you can't get out of it.

So Yang Chao still made concessions.

"Okay! Each family has 100 million taels, but there is no shortage of weapons and armor!"

You can ask for less money, but the weapons and armors and other military materials hidden by these people must be handed over. These things are not easy to make, and they are all secretly made. I am afraid that they have accumulated for a long time to have so much, and they will be taken away at once. , can keep them honest for a few years, and it doesn't take a few years, one or two years is enough to decide whether Yang Chao can change the general situation.

Each family glanced at each other, finally gritted their teeth, nodded to each other, and accepted the punishment.
