Ming Dynasty: Pick up attributes from the battlefield to create the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 282 The Embroidered Uniform Guard raids the Shen family, Zhu Ying seeks revenge!
Zhu Yuanzhang fell silent.

With that look of impending rage, no one in the hall dared to utter a sound.

But it's conceivable.

Just how furious was Zhu Yuanzhang at this moment?

"Summon Jiang Huan," Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking...

Everyone in the hall understood instantly.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard was activated.

This means they don't need any evidence; they're just going to take down the Shen family directly.

"It seems that His Majesty already knows Xiong Ying's identity."

"It must have been His Highness the Crown Prince who told him," Lan Yu thought to himself.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's furious expression.

Lan Yu secretly thought of something as well.

"Father, calm down."

Zhu Biao spoke up at this moment.

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

The ministers in the hall immediately spoke up as well.

But Zhu Yuanzhang remained silent, his expression indifferent, waiting quietly.

at last.

Jiang Huan, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, dressed in a flying fish robe, arrived quickly.

When he saw all the dukes gathered in the main hall, he was stunned.

However, he quickly came to his senses.

He immediately knelt down and bowed: "Your Majesty, I have come to pay my respects. May I ask what important matter Your Majesty has summoned me for?"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand, and Jiang Huan slowly stood up.

"Take one hundred Imperial Guards, and we'll give you another thousand Imperial Guards."

"Surround the Shen family, capture them all, and throw them into the Jinyiwei prison."

"Interrogate them thoroughly and find out who hired someone to assassinate the Marquis of Champion," Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.

Hear this.

Jiang Huan couldn't help but raise his hand, filled with a sense of horror.

He already knew about the assassination attempt on Zhu Ying when he arrived, but he still needed to investigate who was responsible. But now he directly said to take down the Shen family, which means that the Shen family is involved in this matter.

"emperor."

"Is there already evidence that the Shen family was behind this?" Jiang Huan asked respectfully.

"Since when have we had to provide the evidence ourselves?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

Feeling that oppressive gaze, Jiang Huan was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground.

"I understand."

"Once the Shen family is completely captured, I will certainly give Your Majesty a satisfactory result." Jiang Huan immediately bowed and then quickly got up and left.

"Guo Zhen, you go yourself. Don't let the Shen family escape."

Zhu Yuanzhang then issued an edict to Guo Zhen outside the palace.

"Your subject obeys," Guo Zhen replied immediately.

And this moment.

As Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict was issued.

Everyone in the hall bowed and paid their respects, saying, "Your Majesty is wise."

"All right."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand, his gaze falling on Lan Yu, and asked in a deep voice, "Is Zhu Ying injured?"

"Reporting to the Emperor."

“The Marquis of Champion was not injured in any way,” Lan Yu replied immediately.

"That's good." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, finally relieved.

"Father."

"If it was indeed the Shen family who hired someone to do this, their entire clan should be confiscated."

“But the Shen family’s business is quite large, and they are known as the richest family in the Ming Dynasty. If this is not handled properly, it will affect the livelihoods of thousands of artisans. This matter needs to be handled with caution,” Zhu Biao said solemnly.

Hear this.

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "If it really was the work of the Shen family, we will not only exterminate their clan, but also confiscate their property. All of the Shen family's assets and businesses will be added to the national treasury."

"in the past."

"The Shen family is large and powerful, and they haven't broken any laws, so we'll just turn a blind eye to them."

"But now they dare to touch our grandson, then the Shen family deserves to die."

now.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also furious and made a final judgment on the matter concerning the Shen family.

But at the moment.

Fu Youde was dumbfounded.

"grandson?"

"Why did His Majesty say that Zhu Ying is his grandson?"

"Did I hear wrong?" Fu Youde wondered to himself, his face full of confusion.

but.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang had no intention of explaining anything.

This time.

The Shen family has really run into bad luck.

original.

Zhu Yuanzhang intended to let Zhu Ying handle the Shen family's affairs after recognizing them, but now there's even a case of hiring someone to commit murder.

This is intolerable.

Even if it wasn't the Shen family who did it, based on what they did to Zhu Ying in the past, they would definitely have to exterminate the entire clan.

There will be no leniency.

now!

The palace gates were wide open.

With the Imperial Guard Commander Guo Zhen personally leading a thousand Imperial Guards, they marched in a grand procession towards the outer city.

Simultaneously.

In front of the Imperial Guards, there were also one hundred Embroidered Uniform Guards personally commanded by Jiang Huan.

"What's going on? The Imperial Guards have been mobilized again, and the Embroidered Uniform Guards are also involved?"

"It must be because the incident of the assassin trying to kill the Marquis of Champion has blown up."

“Within the capital, under the emperor’s nose, someone actually attempted to assassinate the Marquis of Champion of our Great Ming, a hero of our Great Ming. No matter who he is, he deserves to die.”

"Yes."

"The Marquis of Champion is a hero of our Great Ming Dynasty, with merits such as sealing the wolf's lair and destroying the Northern Yuan. He cannot be wronged."

"We must take down the person behind this and find out who did it."

……

When the people on the street saw such a large contingent of Imperial Guards and Imperial Bodyguards, they were both shocked and filled with anticipation.

After all, news of Zhu Ying's assassination attempt had already spread widely.

but.

This time, the Imperial Guards and the Embroidered Uniform Guards were not targeting a specific location within the inner city, but were heading directly towards the outer city.

It is located near the inner city.

The Shen family mansion.

As a merchant.

Even though the Shen family is incredibly wealthy, their social status prevents them from obtaining a mansion in the inner city; this is the difference brought about by social class.

"Commander Guo."

"Please surround the Shen family's residence."

"Don't let anyone escape."

Upon arriving at the Shen family mansion, ignoring the astonishment of the guards at the gate, Jiang Huan addressed Guo Zhen directly.

"nature."

Guo Zhen nodded, then immediately waved his hand and shouted, "Surround the Shen family! No one is allowed to leave! Anyone who dares to trespass will be executed!"

"Yes."

The thousand Imperial Guards responded in unison.

next moment.

With the thunderous roar of armor and weapons, they rushed swiftly towards various parts of the Shen family mansion.

This scene naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding people, who were all shocked.

They knew which family owned the mansion in front of them; it was the mansion of the extremely wealthy Shen family, and the Imperial Guards had been dispatched to surround it.

Obvious.

"What has the Shen family done wrong?"

"They actually mobilized both the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Imperial Guard."

"Yes."

"Only the Emperor and the Crown Prince can mobilize the Imperial Guards, and only the Emperor can mobilize the Embroidered Uniform Guards. Now that both have arrived, could it be that the Shen family has committed treason?"

"No merchant is honest. I reckon the Shen family must have committed some serious crime, probably no less serious than treason."

"Could it be that the assassination of the Marquis of Champion today is related to the Shen family? After all, the news has already spread far and wide."

"Most likely."

"The Marquis of Champion is a hero of our Great Ming Dynasty. I've heard from the people that the Marquis of Champion had some connection with the Shen family in the past."

……

now.

Seeing the Imperial Guards and the Embroidered Uniform Guards mobilized naturally sparked endless discussions among the people, and the news gradually spread, attracting even more people to stop and watch.

After all, watching a spectacle is in the nature of the Han people, and this has been true in every era.

Meanwhile, inside the Shen family!

"Master, master."

"Something terrible has happened!" "A really bad thing has occurred!"

“A large number of Imperial Guards…and…and Embroidered Uniform Guards have surrounded our mansion.”

"Something's happened! Something really bad has happened!"

Butler Shen ran into the inner room in a panic and shouted loudly.

And this moment.

It's not just him.

The servants in the Shen family, as well as Shen Wansan's sons, were all in a panic.

"what?"

"The Embroidered Uniform Guard? The Imperial Guard?"

When Shen Wansan, who was inside the inner hall, heard this news, he was instantly stunned.

A look of fear appeared on his old face.

As a merchant with immense wealth, he was naturally well-informed and knew all the secrets of the imperial guards.
Now the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Imperial Guard have arrived at the same time.

Something big must have happened.

Moreover, it was a major event targeting his Shen family.

"Could it be that the bounty has been exposed?"

"impossible."

“This was done on the black market, and all the assassins who went to transport the drugs have been dealt with. Apart from Rong’er and the others, no one else knows about it.”

"Wait, could it be the butler?"

Shen Wansan's gaze sharpened as he stared intently at the steward before him.

"Master, this old servant has no idea what happened."

Sensing Shen Wansan's scrutinizing gaze, Butler Shen immediately spoke up.

Having served Shen Wansan for so many years, how could Steward Shen not know what the former was thinking?

But this time.

There was no time for Shen Wansan to ponder anything further.

"Listen up, all members of the Shen family! Kneel down! Anyone who dares to move will be executed on the spot!"

"Listen to everything."

"Anyone who acts without authorization will be executed on the spot."

……

From all parts of the mansion.

Then came a series of cold, loud shouts.

The entire mansion was filled with a chaotic commotion.

It didn't take very long at all.

Bang.

"father."

"These Imperial Guards just barged in for no reason."

"And what about the palace guards? What's going on?"

"What should we do, Dad?"

Shen Wansan's sons all rushed in, including his daughters.

They all rushed into the inner hall with panicked expressions.

"fool."

What are you all doing here?

Seeing his children all run into the inner hall, Shen Wansan looked annoyed.

These children are truly incredibly foolish.

At this moment, the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Imperial Guards attacked, clearly intending to deal with the Shen family, or even annihilate them. Instead of trying to escape, they all gathered together.

So stupid.

Just after Shen Rong and the others ran into the inner hall, a series of hurried footsteps came from behind.

next moment.

A group of Imperial Guards rushed directly into the inner hall.

When I saw Shen Wansan and his many children.

With just a glance, it was immediately clear that these were the direct descendants of the Shen family, not servants.

As a force directly under the imperial authority, the Embroidered Uniform Guard was naturally adept at reading people's expressions and moods.

"Commander, Shen Wansan, and the direct descendants of the Shen family are all here."

A junior officer from the Imperial Guard shouted loudly.

echoed.

Jiang Huan strode over, placing his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, appearing even more imposing.

"Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Jiang Huan."

Upon seeing Jiang Huan, Shen Wansan's face turned deathly pale.

If it were just an ordinary centurion from the Embroidered Uniform Guard, there might still be some room for maneuver this time, as it wouldn't truly reach the Emperor's ears directly. But now Jiang Huan has come.

That shows one thing.

This matter must have been personally instructed by the current emperor; there is no other possibility.

"Shen Wansan".

"I've been looking for you for a long time."

When Jiang Huan saw Shen Wansan in the inner hall, he sneered.

"May I ask...may I ask you, sir?"

"What has my Shen family done to warrant the intervention of the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

"Although my Shen family are merchants in the Ming Dynasty and do not hold a high position, we have always followed the laws of the Ming Dynasty and dare not disobey them," Shen Wansan said, bowing respectfully to Jiang Huan.

Obviously.

He was also trying to find out what had happened.

but.

How many people did Jiang Huan interrogate as the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard?
There are countless of them.

In the past, even Hu Weiyong had fallen into his hands, so Shen Wansan's petty schemes were utterly laughable in his eyes.

"Take it."

"Take them down individually, and don't let them meet again." Jiang Huan didn't even bother to answer Shen Wansan's question, but immediately ordered his capture.

As soon as he finished speaking...

Tapping.

Tapping.

There was a sound of footsteps.

Numerous Imperial Guards rushed directly into the inner hall.

Two men took down one man, capturing Shen Wansan and all his children.

"unfair."

"What has my Shen family done to deserve such an unjust arrest?"

"The current emperor governs the country by law; how can the Embroidered Uniform Guard be allowed to run rampant like this?"

At this moment.

Shen Wansan also shouted in extreme resentment.

"They sealed his mouth."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huan gave a cold rebuke.

Then several Imperial Guards took a cloth and gagged Shen Wansan.

The others were so frightened by the ferocity of these Imperial Guards that they dared not utter a sound.

And the other side.

"Commander."

"We've already taken down more than a dozen of Shen Wansan's grandsons, as well as his daughters-in-law and others."

"We've taken them all."

"The household had more than 500 servants, and they were all captured as well."

A commander of the Imperial Guards quickly approached and respectfully reported.

"it is good."

Jiang Huan nodded and glanced at them coldly: "Make sure no one escapes. Dig three feet into the ground and bring them all back to the Embroidered Uniform Guard prison. All the direct descendants of the Shen family should be imprisoned in solitary confinement."

"As for the servants, they were locked up together with the rest of the Shen family."

"Once the Shen family is emptied, seal the gates of the Shen family mansion and have the Imperial Guards personally guard it, forbidding anyone from approaching," Jiang Huan shouted.

"Yes."

The Imperial Guards replied in unison.

"Commander Jiang."

"We've got everyone down."

"You can go."

Guo Zhen arrived at the inner hall and spoke to Jiang Huan.

"Thank you for your trouble, Commander Guo."

"If we capture them quickly, we can report back to the Emperor and the Crown Prince as soon as possible," Jiang Huan said with a smile.

"indeed."

"This is a very important matter and cannot be delayed." Guo Zhen nodded repeatedly.

"besides."

"Go to the Marquis's residence and tell the Marquis in person that the Shen family has been completely captured."

"His Majesty has also specifically instructed that an explanation will be given to the Marquis soon," Jiang Huan said, turning to a subordinate of the Imperial Guard.

"Understood, sir." The Imperial Guard nodded immediately.

Upon hearing the words "Champion Marquis".

Shen Wansan's eyes widened, revealing a look of despair.
