Chapter 355 Xie Zaixing Surrender

Shi Xin drooped his head and walked into the government office of Hangzhou City in frustration.

This time, he was really disgraced. Originally, he went out to sell salt to make money. As a result, he was caught by Zhu Yuanzhang and locked in a dark room. If the eldest brother hadn't sent someone to save himself in time, he would have starved to death there.

"Brother Shixin is back?" Shi Xin heard a familiar voice.

"Sister-in-law." Shi Xin shouted, it was really unlucky. He was seen by Ruo Han.

"Are you begging for food?" A childish voice shouted.

"Huzi, don't talk nonsense. This is your fourth uncle." Ruo Han said quickly.

"Yes, Huzi, it's called the fourth uncle." Shi Xin lowered his head and was ready to pinch Huzi's chubby face with his hand.

"Wow..." Shi Xin was so depressed that Hu Zi was scared to tears by him.

"Huzi, why are you crying? You will be a big shot in the future, and you can't cry. Ruo Han said quickly.

"Dad, Dad." Hu Zi seemed to see something and was about to run to the back.

Shi Xin looked up and saw the eldest brother standing in front of him.

"Big brother." Shi Xin shouted.

"Well, are you back?" Zhang Yang said.

"You guys talk. Huzi and I will play in the back." Ruohan knew that the two of them must have something to say, so they wouldn't disturb them.

Zhang Yang pricked his son with his beard, and Hu Zi smiled instead.

"Go ahead and play with your mother." Zhang Yang said.

Seeing the backs of the two people leaving, Zhang Yang said thoughtfully, "Shixin, why are we working so hard now?"

"For, in order to drive away the tars." Shi Xin said.

"Why do we drive away the tars?"

"Because the tars ride on our heads." Shi Xin said.

"Yes, the Tatars are the first class. We only deserve to be the fourth class. We don't even have the right to survive. This is the reason for our uprising. We have been struggling until now, so that every people in the world can live a life without war and oppression."

Shi Xin was at a loss and didn't know why the eldest brother suddenly said these words to himself.

"When I decided to overthrow the tyranny of the tars, my life no longer belonged to me, but to this cause, the great cause of overthrowing the Yuan Dynasty." Zhang Yang said, "Not only me, but every one of our soldiers must have such an awareness. Who are we fighting for, so that we will not be carried away by selfish desires."

Shi Xin understands it.

"At the beginning, I asked you to manage the sales of refined salt because you had the ability to use it well. You were the best candidate in this field. However, you had a lot of selfishness. When Ruohan managed the accounts, I found that you would sometimes have a lot of money, and now, you have become even more serious. I have ordered it. You are only allowed to sell in the area allowed by the court, but you sell to Ying Tianfu privately. All the excess profits are in your pocket. Do you think I really don't know anything?"

"Puff!" Shi Xin knelt down and said, "Brother, I know I'm wrong. I already know I'm wrong these days in prison."

"Shixin, water can carry boats and overturn them. We do these great things for the people of the world. It is very dangerous for you to be selfish and only work for your own interests." Zhang Yang said.

"Brother, give me another chance!" Shi Xin said.

Zhang Yang knew that at the end of the dynasties, they were all officials [***] and corruption became popular. For example, now, it was a good thing for the prime minister to repair the Yellow River, but the silver allocated by the court has been exploited by the government at all levels. The original intention of the court was to pay for it and hire the people to repair it, but when it came to the bottom, it became that the people had to repair the Yellow River under the whip. Not only did they have no wages, but they couldn't even have enough to eat. It's no wonder that the people didn't make trouble.

Therefore, a clean and efficient political axe is his dream. Naturally, this political axe does not lack a regulatory agency. Zhang Yang has now established a preliminary, secret regulatory agency.

The women who rescued Furongzhai at the beginning were made up to Ruohan. After training, they were already a capable force. Moreover, because they were women, they would not be too attractive. Therefore, Zhang Feng asked Liu Ruohan to organize them and set up an intelligence department to supervise their subordinates, especially It is their personal style to strictly prevent corruption [***].

This organization is secret, that is, even Luo Guanzhong, who is in charge of intelligence work, does not know the existence of this department.

Zhang Yang regretted a little. He had found the signs of Shixin for a long time, but he repeatedly gave him important things. As a result, it became a big event.

"Because of you alone, I sent out a few thousand-person teams, and the base was almost attacked by someone. I finally fought for a stable situation. As a result, I was destroyed by you and had a feud with Zhu Yuanzhang. Please reflect on how much trouble I caused this time!"

If you weren't my brother, I would have really wanted Zhu Yuanzhang to lock you up! Zhang Yang really wants to say so.

"Big brother..." Shi Xin didn't know whether it was true or false repentance. In short, the expression on his face was still very repentant: "Big brother, I know I'm wrong. Please punish me, but don't let me leave the team. Even if I'm just a fireman, I'm willing."

"No, your behavior is too serious this time. Although you have come back, you have to temporarily divest all your positions. Just stay at home and reflect!" Zhang Yang said.

Suddenly, Luo Guanzhong hurried in.

"Chongzhong, what's the matter?" Looking at Luo Guanzhong in such a hurry, Zhang Yang knew that something big might happen.

"Lord, Zhu Yuanzhang's general, Xie Zaixing came to surrender." Luo Guanzhong whispered.

Xie Zaixing came to surrender? Zhang Yang was shocked. How could this be possible!

Xie Zaixing is Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew Zhu Wenzheng's father-in-law, that is, a very close relative. How can he defect to himself? Is there fraud among them?

However, Zhang Yang felt from the bottom of his heart that it might be true that Xie Zaixing defected this time. It is precisely because it is impossible for him to defect, which is true.

If it is Zhu Yuanzhang's trick, it is likely that he will send a centurion, a thousand husband, to say that Zhu Yuanzhang is too bad for him and wants to come to his side, but he will never send his nephew's father-in-law.

"Big brother, Xie Zaixing is really rebellious, because I went to Yingtianfu, and he was the behind-the-scenes boss of the business. If it hadn't been for this relationship, I wouldn't have dared to go to Yingtianfu. Unexpectedly, he still didn't protect me. Shi Xin said.

Zhang Yang suddenly realized that Shixin's visit this time was still a credit? No, you have to show him some color, otherwise, if you don't change the bad behavior, you will cause you a lot of trouble in the future.

"Let's go and have a look." Zhang Yang said.

Xie Zaixing is in a hurry.

Throughout the world, I'm afraid that Zhang Shicheng's army is the best, and Zhu Yuanzhang's army's salary is not high, and his military achievements are not very rich. Zhu Yuanzhang does not have much financial resources, otherwise he would not levy such a high tax on the salt industry.

However, people can't live without money. Xie Zaixing actually had contact with Shixin very early. Shixin had done refined salt business with him before, which made Xie Zaixing make a lot of money. Now Zhang Shicheng occupies Hangzhou, and their scope of business has also begun to increase, except refined salt, silk, grain and exquisite ceramics. Rice wine is within the scope of their business.

Until the incident in the east window of Shixin, he was caught by Zhu Yuanzhang. Xie Zaixing knows that the big thing is not good.

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang began to design how to use Shixin, but he didn't care about Xie Zaixing. However, for some purposes, Zhu Yuanzhang did not discuss with Xie Zaixing, so he betrothed his second daughter to Xu Da. When Xu Da returned triumphantly this time, he held a wedding banquet, which gave Xie Zaixing a very bad signal.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang was defeated, and his anger was nowhere to be released. He interrogated the salt dealers who did not escape, and finally found that everything came from Xie Zaixing, the general beside him.

This is amazing. Zhu Yuanzhang is still angry and has nowhere to vent it all on Xie Zaixing.

Xie Zaixing knew that he was not good. He took his second daughter and 10,000 people in his headquarters, and went straight to Hangzhou on the pretext of chasing Shi Xin.

Luo Guanzhong received the message and quickly reported it to Zhang Yang. After all, they have never had the precedent of surrendering the other generals, especially the generals under Zhu Yuanzhang.

Who knows if he pretended to surrender and was ready to take down Hangzhou City and fight for face for Zhu Yuanzhang?

Xie Zaixing waited anxiously in the living room, restless.

This time, he came from his family name. He is related to Zhu Yuanzhang. Now he comes to Zhang Shicheng. Will he believe it? If people don't accept it, I'm afraid the world will not have its own place.

"Dad, don't worry. Since we are here, let's wait at ease. I believe that Mr. Zhang is a great person and will definitely accept us." Xie Zaixing's second daughter, Xie Ran, said.

Hearing a delicate female voice, Zhang Yang walked in and said, "That's right. There are all brothers in the world. General Xie can give up the secret. I welcome you very much."

With the sound, Zhang Yang stepped into the living room and saw a middle-aged man standing with a beard. He was over 40 years old, but he was still strong and powerful.

The woman sitting next to her is tasting tea gracefully, but the elegant place is a little more dusty, but there is still a trace of tender greenness on her beautiful face, mixed with a trace of charm.

Hearing Zhang Yang's words, the woman stood up: "Is this Mr. Zhang?"

"Yes, that's right." Zhang Yang said.

"I have met Mr. Zhang." The woman made a blessing.

Xie Zaixing also arched his fist and said, "The sin of Xie Zaixing has been helping Zhou and Zhu Yuanzhang. Now he finally repents and is willing to follow Prime Minister Zhang and do the work of the saddle horse."

"I'm very happy that General Xie can give up the secret. Zhu Yuanzhang, who is pretending to benevolent on the surface, is actually a very villain. General Xie came from Ying Tianfu. I don't know if you are familiar with the defense of Tianfu.
