Seeing that Chongzhen had murderous intentions and wanted to kill Wu Xiang's family, Li Guodong advised: "Your Majesty, you not only can't kill Wu Xiang's family, but you should treat Wu Xiang well and let Wu Sangui know that his family is in your hands. In this way, he will have some concerns about our Ming Dynasty in the future, and at the same time, it will make Jiannu dare not use Wu Sangui with confidence. If Your Majesty wants to kill someone, I think Wang Yongji's family can be killed."

"Governor-General of Ji Liao, Wang Xiuzhi," Chongzhen nodded slightly, "Then I will let the Jinyiwei go to Gaoyou to imprison his whole family."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Li Guodong quickly saluted, "Wang Xiuzhi is from Nanzhili. Although Gaoyou is not as good as Jiangnan, it is also a wealthy place in the two Huaihe Rivers. There is a salt field in the east and there is a collusion with the salt merchants. He is even more accused of Shandong first and then the governor of Jiliao. I believe that the family will not have less money."

"I heard that Wang Yongji is a clean official, can he collect much silver?" Chongzhen was not very hopeful about how much silver Wang Yongji had at home.

Li Guodong smiled and said, "I think that even if he is an honest official, his family will not be less money."

In short, Li Guodong didn't believe that Wang Yongji was really as honest as those civil servants said. Maybe he was not very greedy, but their family was in a wealthy place in Gaoyou and the filial piety of the salt merchants in Lianghuai was enough for his family to spend countless money in his lifetime, and the privilege of tax exemption from gentry. How could a family say that tens of thousands of acres of land should have?

Chongzhen nodded and thought to himself: No matter how much Liu Zeqing is concerned, we will confiscate all the nine tribes of the Gaoyou Wang family! I will not conquer the nine tribes of his family for the crime of rebellion, and I will not deprive the three tribes. I will confiscate the house first and see how much money he has in his family. Thinking of this, Chongzhen shouted: "Parent Wang, Zhang Dusi!"

"I'm here!"

"I'm here!"

Wang Chengen and Zhang Shuheng stood up.

Chongzhen said: "I will issue an order now. When we arrive in Huai'an, you will take the factory guards and go to Gaoyou to confiscate Wang Yongji's house. No, all the nine tribes will be confiscated!"

"Does the emperor want to kill his nine clans?" Wang Chengen asked.

"I will not kill the nine tribes of his family, nor will I destroy the three tribes of his family. The crime of treason will definitely be killed. All the women in the family will be taken to the Jiaofangsi, and the males will be exiled to Qiongzhou!" Chongzhen said.

"I will take the factory guard to Gaoyou now!" Wang Chengen said.

Li Guodong volunteered to fight: "Your Majesty, Wang Yongji is deeply rooted in Gaoyou, and there are probably many relationships in the officialdom. The local tyrants and salt envoys all kept a lot of salt peddlers in captivity. It is probably difficult to take it down with just two thousand Jinyiwei and five hundred Dongchang men. Weichen is willing to bring three thousand cavalry to help Wang Gonggong and Zhang Dusi."

"Okay, Li Aiqing, then you go, help Wang Fanban and Zhang Dusi with one hand." Chongzhen agreed to Li Guodong's request.

Then Chongzhen asked Cao Huachun to take the paper and pen, write down an imperial edict, take out the jade seal from his sleeve, and put a large seal on the imperial edict.

These imperial edicts that were not enacted by cabinet tickets were all enacted, but Chongzhen was on the way to escape, and there were no six cabinet ministries following him. Anyway, there were only Cao Huachun, Wang Cheng'en, Li Guodong and Zhang Shuheng, the eunuch party lackeys. Chongzhen didn't even need to write the imperial edict. As long as the oral eunuch party's traitors would do all of them.

Now Chongzhen is obsessed with raiding his house. The more than 30 million taels of silver and more than 1 million taels of gold that the Shandong gentry had already entered his treasury, and he received information from the Jinyiwei from the north. Li Zicheng had collected more than 70 million taels of silver in the capital! The number of 10 million taels of silver made Chongzhen completely angry: these wolves and dogs are rich and can rival the country, and he is the emperor who is so poor that he is so poor.

I remembered that every time I wanted to increase commercial taxes, a group of civil servants would kneel on the ground and cry and shout: Your Majesty should not compete with the people for profit.

Chongzhen felt that he was about to be out of breath. In the past seventeen years since he ascended the throne, he was fooled by those civil servants as monkeys. He was like a fool. The civil servant said that he would go east. If he violated the wishes of the civil servant group, a large group of "loyal ministers" knelt in front of him, everyone was upright, not afraid of court sticks or death.

The emperor's dragon boat went south, from north Zhili to Shandong, and then to Jiangbei in southern Zhili. He had already copied mountains of gold, silver and treasures, and his fleet had become a treasure fleet. It turned out that the Ming Dynasty was not without money, but too rich! But the emperor was not rich, and those civil servants and gentry were not rich enough to rival the country? Anyone who copied the family could be worth the financial income of the Ming Dynasty in one year.

Wang Chengen took Chongzhen's imperial edict and kowtowed to thank him. After the fleet arrived in Huai'an, Wang Chengen took the factory guards away. Zhang Shuheng and Li Guodong also walked with Wang Chengen, leaving Cao Huachun to be responsible for the internal affairs of the palace, Wang Quan and Han Dashan are responsible for the safety, Lu Zhenfei and Sun Chuanting are responsible for handling official affairs.

Li Guodong set up three thousand cavalry, one thousand self-generated musket dragon cavalry and two thousand light cavalry, and set out with Wang Chengen and Zhang Shuheng. Zhang Shuheng led two thousand Jinyiwei Ti cavalry, and Wang Chengen led five hundred Dongchang men, totaling five thousand five hundred people, setting off in a mighty manner.

"Wu Weibo, do you have to bring so many people to Wang Yongji's house?" Wang Chengen asked.

"Is it too much?" Li Guodong showed an innocent smile on his face, "Why do I think it's not enough? Eunuch Wang, don't worry. After that, you will be sluggish in counting the silver."

Wang Chengen asked strangely: "Wuweibo, we heard that Wang Yongji is an honest official. It is said that his father is just a teacher?"

"Hahaha!" Li Guodong laughed, "Eunuch Wang is really good at joking. How can we be honest in the Ming Dynasty be the governor of Ji Liao? Wang Ni was in charge of half of the Northern Zhili and Liaodong. The enclosed hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. The generals paid him a few hundred thousand taels of empty salary every year. Liaodong alone is tens of thousands of filial piety every year! He doesn't need to be greedy at all. Who dares not give him any part if the people below are greedy? And his family is in Gaoyou, where is Gaoyou? The territory of the salt merchants in Lianghuai! Wang Ni is the governor of Ji Liao. Although he can't control the land of Lianghuai, there are people in the court who are easy to do, and those salt merchants are still fighting to give their families silver?"

Looking at Wang Chengen's stunned look, Li Guodong waved his hand: "Eunuch Wang, let me tell you another thing, Daming salt merchants, just talk about salt merchants in the two Huaihe Rivers. The annual taxes and handling fees paid, do you know how much money you have in a year?"

"How many?" Wang Chengen asked impatiently.

"At least 25 million taels!"

"Two five million taels?" Wang Chengen gasped, "But how much salt tax the court earned in a year? It's good to have three million taels, and when it's bad, two million taels! Where is the remaining silver?"

"That's all right? They're all greedy for these dogs!"

"Old man!" Wang Chengen suddenly burst into tears, "I have accompanied you through seventeen years of hard life. Old man, you save money, but which of these dogs with heart and heart is not rich enough to rival a country? Old man, if we could attack these dogs early, why would we lose the capital and keep the country covered with dust?"

"Okay, Eunuch Wang, don't cry, don't cry," Li Guodong patted Wang Chengen on the shoulder, "When we catch all the corrupt officials and liar businessmen in Gaoyou, you can't even close your mouth when you count the silver."

As Li Guodong expected, the family search team with Chongzhen's imperial edict had not arrived in Baoying County, but encountered a large group of people on the way.

"The Eagle Claw Sun is coming to harm the people! Dear fellow villagers, stop them! Don't let the eagle dogs pass!" The crowds of people blocked the official road, making it impossible for the cavalry to pass. In the crowd, an old man with white hair raised his arms and shouted.

Because Emperor Chongzhen became a tyrant monarch, the rumors of harming innocent people along the way from Zhili in the north to Shandong and then to Zhili in the south had spread to the two Huaihe Rivers. Seeing the Jinyiwei and Dongchang in the Chongzhen fleet dispatched again, the local people who were "very high-aware" immediately organized to stop the eunuch party from framing the loyal and kind-hearted.

"Go aside! The Jinyiwei handled the case!" Zhang Shuheng shouted loudly on a tall horse.
