Chapter 466 I am rich in Jin Dynasty
Why did you first arrest Wang Yan? First, you have a high status and a prince's father-in-law. Second, you have enough black spots and you have suffered from the death of the prince. But these two points are not the main reasons. Wang Yan's reputation as a Duwu is known to the world. This kind of famous famous scholar, who has the essence of greed for money, is the best target to start.
If you force Wang Yan to surrender, you can start using this as a breakthrough and start investigating other people. Of course, the current foreign name is still to investigate Wang Yan's role in it when the prince died. It is legitimate and can also paralyze other rich people.
"Can you talk?" Wang Yan seemed to have grabbed a life-saving moral grass. Sima Ji said something right. He was indeed a fake noble person with good reputation and greedy money. When he heard that he could pay less, he even forgot that Sima Ji wanted to kill him and leave his entire body. He quickly said to confirm, "King Yan, don't deceive the old minister."
"Of course it's OK. Your family can't afford the military pay for a million-dollar army, right? This matter still needs to be done with a group of people. Is there a lot of people and great power?" Sima Ji tilted his head and asked the prison guard to let Wang Yan go, put the soldering iron back into the carbon furnace, clapped his hands, "The million-dollar army looks like a lot, but once the Luoyang court officials can understand the overall situation, it should be just a small amount of money for you. You may have forgotten that the relationship between the king and Shi Chong is very good, and you are not unfamiliar with you famous famous scholars all over the world. It's not that you can't take out the 30 million-dollar money for you, and for many court officials, it's not that you can't take out the 30 million-dollar money."
"If you don't want to take it, can you let others take it? As long as you can reveal other people's affairs, I will let you walk out of the Tingwei Mansion safely. You have to cherish this opportunity. When I was in Youzhou, as long as I targeted someone, I would almost have no one under my subordinates who could walk out of the Youzhou prison intact."
"If someone comes to drink, he will never come at all. I forgot the rules of Youzhou prison. Prisoners who pay money will be given human rights treatment." Sima Ji seemed to be angry and shouted at the prison guard beside him, "I still apologize to Shangshu Ling, and I don't know how to treat guests at all."
"Shangshu Ling, we mountain villagers don't know the rules, so don't be surprised." The jailer quickly smiled and said, "My highness always opens his mind to those who are willing to cooperate, especially to famous scholars like you."
"Your Highness, there was a prisoner in a cell that just now couldn't stand it. He died. What should I do now?" A prisoner in green clothes ran over with footsteps and knelt in front of Sima Ji, "It's the little man who has a heavier hand. I didn't expect the other party to be so weak."
"I informed my family to come and get the body, and said that the prisoner choked to death by drinking water. Also, he would get a hundred yuan in the body and burn it for me if he didn't pay." Sima Jiheng took a look at the prison guard who was not good at doing things, and ordered, "Wash the body clean, this little thing is not done well. A group of waste, how did you raise such a group of waste in Youzhou? Have you killed so many people in Youzhou? How did you pass the year-end assessment every year? After I go back, I will check your foundation. Did you pay the money during the assessment and conceal the number of deaths."
"Your Highness, the villain is wronged. Your Highness, you personally ordered someone to be beaten to death and demoted. How dare you? It's really because this person's resistance is too poor. If the villain just uses a little trick, he can't stand it." The prisoner hurriedly kowtowed, "The villain is familiar with the human body map written by Your Highness himself, how could he deliberately greet the vitals?"
Have you eaten too much of Wushis? Looking at the pitiful prison guard, Sima Ji also felt that he might have wronged the official and said impatiently, "Okay, okay, let's forget about this matter this time. For the sake of you people who have been dedicated for many years, be careful in the future. People are valuable only when they live, and nothing will be left when they die. As a native of Youzhou, they don't understand at all."
"Let Shangshuling make a joke. As long as you are a human being, you will always be wrong. I am always kind to my subordinates." Sima Ji squeezed out a smile with white teeth, "At least it will not be more ruthless than the families treating the tenant slaves below, do you think?"
"Yes, yes, I don't know what Your Highness wants Wang Yan to do, just say it." Wang Yan squeezed out a smile. This was the ugly smile in his life. He was still wondering if this scene was deliberately made to scare him.
"It depends on whether Shangshu Ling can seize the opportunity. I don't know if Shangshu Ling has political enemies in the capital. Think about it, how smart it is to use my hand to deal with them and stay out of the matter. A leaf that passes through the flowers will not touch you. You can still escape from me." Sima Ji took the wine utensils he just sent, slowly poured a glass for Wang Yan, and said politely, "I can't do anything to you with the prince's death, doesn't it mean that you have nothing to do with the prince's death? In this way, the reputation that has been damaged in the case of the prince will come back? Shangshu Ling is famous all over the world. You should understand what this means."
Wang Yan was still a little dazed after undergoing a major change. He listened to Sima Ji's words, nodded involuntarily, drank the wine of the rushing wine, and asked suspiciously, "As long as Wang Yan is willing to cooperate, can Your Highness guarantee that the prince's affairs will be revealed?"
"Apart from this king, a vassal king who regards wealth as his life, are there other vassal kings so shameless?" Sima Ji pinched the wine glass and gently touched the wine glass in Wang Yan's hand and whispered, "Isn't this very obvious?"
Wang Yan nodded. Such a shameless vassal king was indeed gone, but in terms of means, he had seen another person in the Sima family who could be compared with Sima Ji in front of him in terms of coldness and cruelty, that is, Sima Shi after Xiahou Hui's death.
"Please bring paper and pen, Wang Yan knows the general situation of some rich people." Wang Yan said to Sima Ji.
"Come here, serve the Secretary of State." Sima Ji hooked his fingers to the prison officer and ordered, "Sustain it very much."
Half an hour later, the gate of the Tingwei Mansion opened wide, and the prisoners came out one by one, and took the Jurchens waiting here to arrest people. On this day, the whole of Luoyang was in chaos. All the gates of the capital were seen by the imperial soldiers and did not let any official go out of the city.
Each jailer brought back a number of ruthless officials. Sima Ji officially started to arrest people. The soldiers in the city talked about this matter. All the soldiers knew that the King of Yan was preparing to raise military salaries for them, and some soldiers happily talked about how much they could get.
There were long pleading teams in front of each vassal king's mansion. Whether it was the vassal kings stationed in Luoyang, the King of Hejian, King Fanyang, etc. who led their troops into the capital, they were surrounded by the officials who rushed to the scene.
"I still hope that the King of Qin will be fair!" The officials gathered in front of Sima Jian's mansion shouted loudly.
"The King of Qin is in poor health and cannot come forward. All ministers should go and find another vassal king." The servants of the King of Qin's mansion came out to drive people out. Sima Jian was really seriously ill and could not care about this matter.
Whether Sima Jian was completely understandable, as for the other vassal kings, they were not good at speaking. In the Beijing vassal kings, they were now hiding from the King of Yan. Didn’t they see Sima Ji killing three vassal kings? It would be nice if he just came to cause trouble, and he wanted to come forward to plead with him.
As for King Fanyang Sima Su, King Hejian Sima Yong, King Qi Sima Jing and King Qi Sima Jing, they wanted to plead, but when they thought that the army under their command was also outside the city, the army outside Luoyang now knew to share the money. If I asked to stop it, how could I lead the troops to fight in the future? Wouldn't this make the soldiers feel sad?
In front of court officials and their army, these vassal kings who led their troops into the capital faced a two-choice problem. Compared to the court officials' gratitude, after long-term thinking, they all felt that the morale of the army under their command was more important. These court officials were useless at critical moments, and eventually they all used the excuse to let go and pretend to be deaf and dumb.
