唐宁走进萧府,迈进某处堂内,看到的是被绑着的密密麻麻人影,约有数十上百人的样子。 Including four respected family heads of household, the rural gentry wealthy and powerful family in sleek/moist state, all rich men here, is not a head/number of people of room Tang Ning saw, but was the white and shiny money. 包括四大家族家主在内,润州的乡绅豪族,所有的有钱人都在这里了,唐宁看到的不是一屋子的人头,而是白花花的银子。 „Sir, undeserved!” “大人,冤枉啊！” „We are innocent, we do not know the

not cruel enough. 听到“诛九族”这三个字,场中众人亡魂皆冒,立刻又乱作一团,声泪俱下,看的唐宁都有些不忍心。 „Everyone calm down a bit.” Tang Ning visits them, puts out a hand again, said: „Regulation is stern, but must speak the reason, according to this officer looked, you were also hoodwinked by Xiao, the crime until death, is not insufficient the calamities and nine generations......” “大家静一静。”唐宁看着他们,再次伸出手,说道:“律法森严,但也要讲情理,依本官看,你们也是被萧家所蒙蔽,罪不至死,更不至于祸及九族……” The Tang Ning words have not said, the crowd then transmitted in an uproar. 唐宁话未说完,人群便传来了一阵哗然。 „Sir is wise!” “大人英明！” „Blue sky

the rebellion itself/Ben with the amnesty big crime, the capital crime may exempt, the suffering is difficult to escape, you must let the royal government, making your majesty see your sincerity......” 唐宁听着众人的一片感恩戴德之声,只能再次伸手维持秩序,待他们安静下来之后,才开口道:“此次回京,本官会尽力向朝廷,向陛下陈情,免除你们的死罪,但造反本就是遇赦不赦的大罪,死罪可免,活罪难逃,你们也要让朝廷,让陛下看到你们的诚意……” „Sincerity?” In the crowd, some people think, on the face appears the color of sudden enlightenment, immediately says: „Hears the northwest war to be in danger, the common people are willing to contribute half of family property, rushes to rescue the royal government, expels the northwest barbarian......” “诚意？”人群之中,有人想了想,脸上浮现出顿悟之色,立刻道:“听闻西北战事告急,草民愿意捐出一半家财,驰援朝廷,驱逐西北蛮夷……” Contributes half of family property, to them, is no different shears the meat, but shears the meat to be painful , the ratio shears to be better. 捐出一半家财,对他们来说,无异于割肉,但割肉再痛,也比割头要好。 On the scene is the merchants, no one cannot reckon up this business. 在场的都是商人,没有人算不清这笔生意。 After that person opens the mouth, almost in instantaneous, then ten several people then open the mouth. 那人开口之后,几乎是在瞬间,便有十数人接着开口。 „Sir, the common people are also willing to contribute half of family property!” “大人,草民也愿意捐出一半家财！” „Common people are also, the national disaster overhead, as Chen Guo common people, how could also to stand by?” “草民也是,国难当头,身为陈国百姓,又岂能袖手旁观？” „I and others am willing to drive out the barbarian make contribution, asking the Sir certainly to permit!” “我等都愿意为驱除蛮夷尽一份力,请大人一定允许！” Being filled with righteous indignation that people's alarmed and afraid fear from the beginning, instant changes, Tang Ning was also moved by their sincere patriotism, said: „Your sincerity, this officer helps certainly you convey, is willing to register for going that right the royal government makes contribution, does not want is waiting in the left......” 众人从一开始的惊惧害怕,瞬时就变的义愤填膺,唐宁也被他们的拳拳爱国之心所感动,说道:“你们的诚意,本官一定帮你们代为转达,愿意为朝廷尽一份力的去右边登记,不愿意的在左边等着……” „I register, I register!” “我登记,我登记！” „Do not push, you stepped on my foot!” “别挤,你踩我脚了！” „Comes, everyone has the opportunity!” “一个一个来,大家都有机会！” ...... …… Tang Ning finishes speaking, the crowd then rushes to be first side wells up to go toward right, no one goes to the left. 唐宁话音刚落,人群便争先恐后的向右边一涌而去,没有一人前往左边。 Is willing to register for royal government going with every effort right, does not want is waiting in the left- what, wait for death? 愿意为朝廷尽力的去右边登记,不愿意的在左边等着-等什么,等死吗？ No one is willing to wait for death, in the hall changed the sorrowful atmosphere, these Jiangnan tyrannical gentries contributed money, beaming with health, did business probably gains one to be the same than greatly, rushed to line up, for fear that fell behind others...... 没有人愿意等死,堂内一改刚才的悲凄气氛,这些江南豪绅捐起银子来,满面红光,像是做生意大赚了一比一样,一个个抢着排队,生怕落到了别人后面…… Tang Ning across the fore room, arrives at a following room. 唐宁穿过前堂,来到后面的一处房间。 This room only then four people, four big head of household status are aloof, with these small-scale merchants in the same place, has not had own independent room. 这处房间只有四人,四大家主身份超然,没有和那些小商人在一起,拥有自己的独立房间。 Su looked up one wise, he has looked at the Tang Ning portrait, then recognized him, stood fiercely, both eyes stubbornly is staring at him, clenched teeth saying: „Surnamed Tang, you are quite virulent! I really regretted why does not have to begin to remove you earlier!” 苏哲抬头望了一眼,他看过唐宁的画像,一眼便认出了他,猛地站起来,双目死死的盯着他,咬牙道:“姓唐的,你好恶毒啊！我真后悔,为什么没有早点动手除掉你！” When to at this moment, him understands finally, why after these people went to the Su two times, has not gone again. 时至此刻,他才终于明白,为什么那些人去了苏家两次之后就再也没有去过。 He has long known Xiao to instead, has prepared dealing, he does that is to compel counter- Su, wants with seeking the counter charge, executes the Su entire clan! 他早就知道萧家要反,也早就做好了应对的准备,他这么做,是想要逼反苏家,是想要用谋逆的罪名,诛苏家全族！ Seeks the counter crime, the calamities and nine generations, the charge that Su several hundred people, Su Jia plot a rebellion incessantly once carries out, even if Tang in national capital, must be involved by the part. 谋逆之罪,祸及九族啊,不止苏家几百口人,苏家谋反的罪名一旦落实,哪怕是远在京师的唐家,也要受到部分牵连。 The Su head of household seemed like pulls out was common to the soul, is looking at Tang Ning, said dejected: „You won, wanting you in the future, to be able every night the dream to several hundred ghosts of Su, the dream to them to your rope life......” 苏家家主像是被抽离了灵魂一般,望着唐宁,颓然道:“你赢了,希望你日后,每天夜里都能梦到苏家的几百亡魂,梦到他们向你索命……” The heads of household of four respected families are not the average men, equally is not hysteric to outside these people, seems like totally gives up, a few words are not willing to say much. 四大家族的家主到底不是常人,并没有向外面的那些人一样歇斯底里,似乎是彻底放弃,一句话也不愿多说。 Naturally, the despair of Bai head of household is develops, his performing skill had been in the superb situation, if not Tang Ning knows the circumstances of the matter beforehand, even cannot distinguish. 当然,白家家主的绝望是演出来的,他的演技已经到了出神入化的地步,如果不是唐宁事先知情,甚至也分辨不出来。 He had not planned that makes Bai expose, future Jiangnan, but also needs them and other large clans becomes integrated with, no one likes becoming integrated with the lackeys of royal government. 他没有打算让白家暴露,日后的江南,还需要他们和其他大族打成一片,没有人喜欢和朝廷的狗腿子打成一片。 Outside Tang Ning has not looked like to their attitudes is so polite, saying of coming straight to the point: „In front of you have two roads, seeks counter revolts to execute the nine generations, contributes half of family property to let go at that oneself elect.” 唐宁对他们的态度没有像外面那么客气,开门见山的说道:“你们面前有两条路,谋逆造反诛九族,还是捐出一半家财保平安,自己选吧。” Four big heads of household also raised the head, unbelievable is looking at him. 四大家主同时抬起头,难以置信的望着他。 The Song head of household stands up, the person who probably is drowned grabbed the last straw to grasp, asked: „Can Song avoid seeking the counter crime?” 宋家家主站起身,像是溺水的人抓住了最后一根救命稻草,问道:“宋家可以免于谋逆之罪？” Tang Ning visits him, asked: „Don't you believe me?” 唐宁看着他,问道:“你不信我？” „Letter/believes, believes certainly!” The Song head of household nods again and again, if Song were decided as the stratagem to go against, not only wants the extermination nine generations, the complete family property must be inventoried and confiscated, now only with contributing half can avoid seeking the counter crime, he does not believe must believe that because this was he hopes finally...... “信,当然信！”宋家家主连连点头,宋家若是被定为谋逆,不仅要诛灭九族,全部家产也要被查抄,现在只用捐出一半就能免于谋逆之罪,他不信也得信,因为这是他最后的希望了…… He looks at Tang Ning, said: „Song Jia is willing to contribute half of family property......” 他看着唐宁,说道:“宋家愿意捐出一半家产……” „Bai also wants!” “白家也愿意！” „Shen also wants!” “沈家也愿意！” After the Song head of household opens the mouth, white Shen two also open the mouth immediately, Su Zhe pursing the lips lip, complexion complex looked at Tang Ning one, muttered: „Su......, Su also wants.” 宋家家主开口之后,白沈两家也立刻开口,苏哲抿了抿嘴唇,面色复杂的看了唐宁一眼,喃喃道:“苏家……,苏家也愿意。” Tang Ning visits him, said indifferently: „Su is one of the chief instigators, contributes 90%.” 唐宁看着他,淡然道:“苏家乃是主谋之一,捐90%吧。” After contributing 90% family property, Su will become south of the Yangtze River's second-class family immediately, in a short time, is unable to restore to be magnificent again past, but this with insurance compared with the entire clan life, is also nothing. 捐出90%家财之后,苏家立刻就会成为江南的二流家族,短时间内,再也无法恢复昔日辉煌,但这与保得全族性命相比,也算不了什么。 Su closes the eye wise, deeply inspires, said difficultly: „Su, compliant......” 苏哲闭上眼睛,深吸口气,艰难道:“苏家,遵命……” ...... …… After solving these families' things, Tang Ning relaxes, Jiangnan wealthy and powerful family these years, profit from the royal government hand a lot, this time feared that were make them eat before all spat. 解决了这些家族的事情之后,唐宁松了口气,江南豪族这些年,没少从朝廷手中占便宜,这次怕是让他们把以前吃进去的全吐出来了。 „Chen......” he just wants to tell Chen Zhou, tomorrow will send people various to receive money, about looked, is surprised the different way: „This boy, where ran went......” “陈……”他正想吩咐陈舟,明天就派人去各家收银子,左右看了看,诧异道:“这小子,跑哪里去了……” Xiao Residence, Su Mei yard. 萧府,苏媚的小院。 „In a twinkling, the Sir shouts one, „ manages them dead”, then loosens the right hand, the left hand meets the sword, a sword punctures, at night has delimited together the silver light/only, the imperial sword passes through from the Guizhou king heir apparent chest front......, matter is this. ” “说时迟那时快,大人嘶吼一声,“管他们去死”,然后松开右手,左手接剑,一剑刺出,黑夜中划过一道银光,尚方宝剑从黔王世子胸前穿过……,事情就是这样。” Chen Zhou looks at Su Mei, said: „After Sir knows the miss has an accident, probably loses was sanely same, the look is fearful, anybody's dissuading does not listen, no matter also the royal government can pursue the responsibility, the subordinate felt, at that time what even if kept off before him is god Buddha of space, feared that cannot block the Sir......” 陈舟看着苏媚,说道:“大人知道姑娘出事之后,像是丧失了理智一样,眼神可怕至极,任何人的劝阻都不听,也不管朝廷会不会追责,属下觉得,哪怕那时候挡在他面前的是天上的神佛,怕是也拦不住大人……” Su Mei is listening to his narration, looks the tense color, in the sleeves the double fist grips tightly, in beautiful both eyes, ripples some crystal light. 苏媚听着他的讲述,面露紧张之色,衣袖中双拳紧握,明媚的双目中,荡漾起些许晶光。
