- It was almost noon when Tang Wenzhu received Miao Yan.
By the afternoon, when Tang Wenzhu led Miao Yan and others to the Cao Mansion outside the city, the sunset was almost setting.
The sky is getting gloomier and gloomier.
Looking at the Cao Mansion from a distance, which is as large as a small town, Miao Yan feels that it is a bit like the earthen watchtowers in Fujian, but the area is even larger.
"Is the Cao family the largest in Jiangnan?" Su Zishan asked Sun Ruidao while standing at the door and waiting for someone to report.
Sun Rui shook his head and said he didn't know.
Su Zishan asked another strong man standing not far away, "Fish Commander, isn't he?"
The strong man smiled and said, "Definitely not. Many of the homes of the salt merchants are larger than those of the Cao family. But if you want to say which family has the most servants and slaves, it is the Cao family. The Cao family has four to five million acres of land. , there are more than tens of thousands of servants, and there are fifty or sixty thousand people living in and around Cao Mansion!"
Tang Wenzhu happened to be standing behind Miao Yan and Bai Hengwang. His eyelids twitched when he heard what they were saying.
Commander
It is indeed the emperor who wants to clean up the Cao family!
Fortunately, I reacted quickly and would rather lose my job than save my life.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Otherwise, if Miao Heizi beheaded me with a sword, Prime Minister Cao might not dare to seek justice for me, would he?
Bai Hengwang also heard it, but he was not surprised at all.
Miao Yan came to check on Cao Yi. For such a big matter, it would be strange if there were no Xiuyiwei to provide various intelligence support.
He came to the Cao family purely because he was forced to do so.
But Bai Hengwang had no regrets.
He came to make soy sauce by chance. After understanding what happened, Prime Minister Cao will definitely not blame him - there is no way to blame him, and he can't stop it.
Then, Cao Yi is fifty-seven years old this year and will be fifty-eight soon.
It¡¯s almost sunset, and the scenery has not been as good as it has been in a few years.
"The Miao Yan in front of me is only forty-two years old this year. He is absolutely young and strong. He has at least twenty years of glory left.
He didn¡¯t ask to please Miao Yan, he just asked that because he was so obedient and obedient, Miao Yan would not think of him when there was a tiger hunt in the future, and that would be a blessing.
Bai Hengwang was used to being a little daughter-in-law. Just because Miao Yan had to find someone to inform Cao Suping, he already understood that the emperor still did not intend to make things happen.
Otherwise, where would there be a commissioned minister to wait for others?
And the imperial envoy is still Miao Yan! !
Of course, this may also be related to the plaque on the door of the Cao family given by the Queen Mother. Even Miao Yan must save some face.
After everyone was thinking, it didn't take long for the main door of Cao's Mansion to open.
Cao Suping hurried out, followed by a large number of people.
Everyone lit torches and illuminated the surroundings brightly, but in terms of momentum, they were far inferior to the Qianniu Guards around Miao Yan.
Of course, the Cao family didn¡¯t have any weapons on them, so they didn¡¯t intend to start a confrontation.
In front of so many people, Cao Suping bowed directly at the door, "Student Cao Suping, I have met the imperial envoy Master Miao! May our emperor live long and live as long as Nanshan!"
"Blessings, Holy Gong."
Miao Yan first avoided it and then said: "Cao Suping, do you know what I am doing here?"
Cao Suping shook his head: "Students don't know, but Master Miao, there must be a reason for you to come!Why don't you go in and talk about it?"
Miao Yan smiled faintly, "No, I won't go in. Here are the investigation documents and case files about your Cao family's land deed. Cao Suping, please accept them and take a careful look! I will go back to the Huzhou government office now and wait for you for a day. time, do you understand?"
Bai Hengwang rolled his eyes.
¡°Well, this is not Miao Heizi¡¯s behavior style, but the emperor¡¯s behavior style.
It seems that the emperor also gave Miao Heizi very solemn instructions. Otherwise, how could he be so polite and give the Cao family time to confess their crimes?
Miao Yan said to wait for him for a day, just to wait for him to admit his guilt directly, so that everyone can do better.
"If Cao Suping is unwilling and wants to rely on his father's power to resist, I'm afraid Miao Heizi will deal with it according to his own character next time.
hehe!
Miao Heizi is a person who even His Highness King De almost beat to death with a wooden board!
Once he gets the upper hand, he doesn¡¯t care whether your Cao family isHowever, if Cao Yi is forced to retire now, the blow to the Cao family will undoubtedly be devastating.
¡°Being forced to become an official and begging for one¡¯s bones are two different things.
The former might wait until Cao Yi dies, and the Cao family will be liquidated.
If the latter is the case, at least they have some affection, and the emperor will look at Cao Yi's face and be a little more lenient with the Cao family.
For Cao Suping, who has no ability, of course he wants the latter.
That¡¯s why he behaves so respectfully now.
???????? In fact, he was also afraid.
From being unscrupulous to feeling like he had hit rock bottom all of a sudden, this huge psychological contrast made him very uncomfortable.
However, in front of Miao Yan, he had to endure it no matter how uncomfortable it was.
After forcing out what he thought was a gentle and courteous smile, Cao Suping bowed again and said: "Everything in the Cao family is subject to the decision of the Imperial Envoy. If we are wrong, we have to admit our mistakes. We have no excuse."
"good!"
Miao Yan was never very talkative, so he nodded and turned to leave, "I'll wait for you all for a day!"
Bai Hengwang, who was following Miao Yan, wanted to laugh a little.
This Cao family really knows how to pretend to be their grandson!
Miao Heizi was left with nothing to do.
Prime Minister Cao is indeed very resourceful. In this way, he has greatly resolved the crisis of the Cao family and prevented more losses.
But after this, Miao Yan and Prime Minister Cao can be regarded as officially facing each other, right?
¡°Tsk, let¡¯s see who is more powerful!
In fact, Miao Yan looks cold, but he is actually very responsible and strategic.
You see, he only confiscated the illegal income of the Cao family and did not impose a heavy fine. This already left room for leeway.
This may have been the emperor's intention, but it was done by Miao Yan, but it also gave a positive signal to the merchants in Jiangnan.
That means the emperor is still very generous to Jiangnan, especially those who are active and obedient.
Then, Miao Yan came this time, bringing only a group of his followers and a hundred Qianniu guards sent by the emperor.
He didn¡¯t even mobilize a single soldier from Jiangnan.
Why?
Because this means that Miao Yan did it alone, and Jiangnan Governor Liu Renhuai had no knowledge at all.
" In this way, Miao Yan alone will be responsible for the consequences of confiscating the 240,000 acres of Cao family's land. He has nothing to do with Liu Renhuai, and Liu Renhuai does not have to face Cao Yi with him.
If it were another person, Liu Renhuai might be brought in. With more people, there would be greater strength, and he would be more confident against Cao Yi's possible counterattack.
Miao Yan is not like this, so he has to carry it on his own.
¡°Do you think Liu Renhuai would be grateful to him, and would he think Miao Yan was worth getting along with?
With Liu Renhuai¡¯s support, can Miao Yan do things in Jiangnan with twice the result with half the effort?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
The important ministers of Legalism are not simple either! !
