- Xu Fan and Xu Ying arrived in Shanghai only half an hour later than Lin Run.
Xu Fan was quite cautious and did not dare to enter the city rashly because he was unclear about the situation. He parked the boat on the river bank outside Shuimen and ordered Xu Ba to go into the city to investigate.
Not long after, Xu Ba came back with shocking news - as soon as Lin Run entered the city, he sent troops to seal down the Shanghai Wanyuan!
"What kind of madness has he got?" Monk Xu Fanzhang was confused and said: "We are the ones who provoked him, so what are we doing to vent our anger on Wanyuanhao? Besides, Wanyuanhao is not a soft persimmon that can be pinched casually."
"Yes, if it was easy, our family would have swallowed up the Wanyuan account a long time ago." Xu Ying also nodded and agreed: "Why do you need to open an account at his house honestly?"
¡°It¡¯s said to be to investigate a Japanese-trafficking case.¡± Xu Ba is still very capable in providing intelligence, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t have been entrusted with the important task.
"The Japanese pirate case?" Xu Fan couldn't help laughing and said: "The Japanese pirates have been extinct for many years, is he trying to settle some old scores?"
¡°Tong¡Japanese¡¡± Xu Ying sat down on the chair.
He naturally knew that Xu Liu and Umekawa Kazuo traded on the Wanyuan No. in Shanghai.
As for Xu Liu¡¯s killer, Umekawa Kazuo has not been found yet, let alone silenced.
This matter has been pressing in his heart, and the fear in his heart is growing day by day.
Now he finally realized that Umekawa Kazuo had fallen into Lin Run's hands.
??~~
"What's wrong with you?" Xu Fan saw that his little brother's face was pale and the corners of his mouth were twitching.
He immediately had an ominous premonition and hurriedly asked in a low voice: "What else do you know? Or are you hiding something?!"
"I, I" Xu Ying cried with a sad face and knelt down in front of her elder brother with a 'pop'. "Brother, help me, I don't want to die!"
"You, it really has something to do with you!" Xu Fan was spinning for a while. Fortunately, he had been through strong winds and waves. He quickly calmed down and waved his hand, asking Xu Ba to stay outside.
Then Xu Fan slowly sat on the chair holding the table, gritted his teeth and said to Xu Ying with a sullen face: "Say it!"
"Brother, I don't know whether to live or die, I deserve to die!" Xu Ying slapped herself hard while telling Xu Fan the details of her little tricks behind the family's back over the years.
Xu Fan¡¯s head was about to explode!
He grabbed Xu Ying's collar and asked fiercely: "At the end of last year, when I wrote to ask you, didn't you swear that we are just like other companies, only supplying goods to maritime merchants, and will never go to sea personally? ?!¡±
If this is the case, at most it will only be condemned on a moral level, and it will not violate the laws of nature.
¡°After all, for these powerful families, the saying ¡®I only sell goods, I have no way of checking who buys them. ¡¯ is enough to prevaricate.
"How come in a blink of an eye, the Shachuan Gang and the Japanese pirates all came out?!" Xu Fan's eyes were about to burst, and he wanted to strangle to death this little brother who had caused such a big disaster!
"There's nothing I can do, brother! The Lu family is finished, the Jinghai King's golden seal is lost, the sea is in chaos, and sea trade is completely cut off." Xu Ying argued with a sad face:
"There are so many cotton cloths piled up in the warehouse, and tens of thousands of weavers need food and drink. What should I do if I don't figure it out myself?"
"Besides, it's not our family that does this, the Xiang family takes the lead"
"Father your mother! I'll kill your second uncle!" Before he could finish his words, Xu Fan rounded his arms and slapped him hard on the face.
There was a loud snap, and Xu Ying was whipped to the ground.
"How many times have I told you, this red line should never be exceeded - even if my Xu family is dying of poverty, starvation, and the whole family goes to the streets to beg for food, we still can't get involved with Japanese pirates!"
Xu Fan, who had been cultivating his energy through menstruation, once broke through. He roared, kicked and beat Xu Ying until she died.
"Did you know that there are not many crimes that can bring down our Xu family, but the only one that can bring down the Xu family is the Japanese!"
Xu Ying was stunned. He didn't expect his elder brother to be so skilled at beating people. He didn't know where he learned his fists and kicks. He only felt that the punches hit the flesh, making people miserable.
He rolled around and screamed:
"Don't you know, brother? It's never been clear between maritime merchants, pirates, real Japanese and fake Japanese"
"Then don't touch it at all! If you don't go to the sea, won't all problems disappear?" Xu Fan kicked Xu Ying until she rolled her eyes, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.
??~~
Xu Fan¡¯s anger and fear are easy to understand.
Although the Ming Dynasty was not like the Jin Dynasty, Sui and Tang Dynasties, where officials could not be punished, the law also followed the Tang law and clearly stipulated the eight-discuss system.
The so-called eight discussions refer to ¡®?¡®¡®relatives¡¯¡¯ refers to the emperor¡¯s relatives; ¡®¡®discussing old friends¡¯¡¯ refers to the emperor¡¯s old friends;
"Yi Xian" refers to those who are virtuous and virtuous; "Yi Gong" refers to those who have outstanding merits;
"Yineng" refers to those with outstanding talents; "Yigui" refers to officials of three grades or above and those with first-grade titles;
"Yiqin" refers to those who are diligent in state affairs; "Yibin" refers to the descendants of the previous royal family.
The eight-discussion system is a privileged system in which when eight categories of people commit crimes, the judicial department cannot directly try them, but must submit them to the emperor for ruling or reduce the punishment according to law.
Xu Ge¡¯s eight elders accounted for at least five of the deliberations. Even he, Xu Fan, enjoyed this judicial privilege as the "highest deliberation".
This is also the reason why Lin Run doesn¡¯t dare to touch the Xu family without solid evidence
But there are always exceptions to everything. Since ancient times, laws have expressly stipulated that those who commit the "ten evils" are not subject to the atonement.
That is the so-called ¡®unforgivable evil¡¯!
The Ten Evils - those who 'conspire to rebel, conspire to commit great treason, conspire to rebel, be rebellious, unruly, disrespectful, unfilial, discordful, unjust, and civil strife'!
In the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the crime of treason with the Japanese was clearly classified as "treason", one of the three ten evils, and was therefore absolutely inexcusable.
Back then, Lin Run accused Yan Shifan and Luo Longwen of treason with the Japanese, and then sent the arrogant Xiaoge Lao to the guillotine!
A few years later, is this guy going to repeat his old tricks and bring my Xu family to a dead end?
"When I thought of the tragic ending of my previous appointment, I fell into boundless fear.
Could it be that this is the fate of those who are called ¡®Xiao Ge Lao¡¯?
No, my fate is up to me and not God!
Xu Fan gritted his teeth and silently let out the strongest voice in his heart!
In fact, I am afraid of death
??~~
¡°When Xu Fan had finished¡crossed it out and changed it to ¡°tired¡±¡then he sat down, breathing heavily.
Xu Ying was beaten to the point of becoming an ¡®iron-eating beast in Sichuan¡¯, and it took her a long time to recover.
He didn't care to cry out in pain, and quickly hugged Xu Fan's thigh, crying: "Brother, it doesn't matter if you beat me to death, but we can't let Lin Run continue to investigate, otherwise our Xu family will be doomed!"
"You still know that the Xu family is going to end!" Xu Fan raised his fist and wanted to hit him again. Unfortunately, the action was too violent, and when he moved, he realized that he had stretched his arms.
He held his shoulders with a dark face and shouted to the outside: "Go and invite Zheng Kuan!"
"Yes." Xu Ba responded and quickly found a way to contact Zheng Yuanshao.
