my brother-in-law is the prince
Chapter 82 - I'll kill you all
Chapter 82
Zhang Fu didn't lie, he really couldn't move.
Looking at the layers of gold and silver piled up in front of him, like a mountain of gold and silver, anyone can only feel shocked.
Zhu Yong was still beating up the guard outside, and the guard was screaming.
At this time, Zhang Anshi only felt ashamed in his heart.
He originally thought that by relying on his own clever mind and the foresight of his two lifetimes, he started the shipping business, and he could be regarded as a rich man after all, earning a lot of money.
But when he got here, he didn't know what it means to be a little witch.
It can also be seen how much money those unethical transactions make.
This is really worse than stealing money.
Zhang Anshi finally regained his composure, thought about it seriously, but said: "No, you stay here, don't report to the palace, everyone stays where you are. Brother, I have to go..."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Anshi set off in a hurry, out of breath.
But he is not stupid, in this turbulent time, he still has to worry about his safety, he called Qiu Song to follow him, and Qiu Song was carrying a gunpowder bag on his back.
Along the way, Zhang Anshi went straight to the East Palace.
It was only at this time that Zhang Anshi knew that his brother-in-law had gone out early in the morning, and was ordered by the emperor to go to the household department for inspection.
Zhang Anshi then found his elder sister, Princess Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang is playing with Zhu Zhanji.
Zhu Zhanji was riding a wooden horse, triumphantly.
Zhang Anshi ignored him, looked straight at Zhang Shi and said: "Sister, please let brother-in-law come back immediately, I have something important to report."
Mrs. Zhang glanced at him, and said disapprovingly: "What can you do? Didn't your Majesty tell you to go to Master Hu Yan to continue studying? Why are you idle again?"
Zhang Anshi had no choice but to say: "Mr. Hu said that I have learned a lot, and I am rich in everything. He has nothing to teach me, so I have graduated."
Mrs. Zhang didn't believe such words, so she frowned and said, "What kind of nonsense is this!"
Zhang Anshi was also very speechless, so he said awkwardly: "I also think he seems to be lying to me, but I have no proof."
Mrs. Zhang didn't continue to question this, but said: "What kind of trouble did you encounter again, and you insist on letting your brother-in-law come back?"
Zhang Anshi hurriedly said: "It's not difficult, it's a great joy, so I must teach my brother-in-law to come back quickly."
Mrs. Zhang frowned again, half-believing.
Zhang Anshi looked around carefully, as if very mysterious, as if he was afraid of being overheard.
It's just that in this bedroom, apart from Zhang Anshi, there are only Zhang and Zhu Zhanji.
But Zhang Anshi still went forward, and carefully whispered in Zhang's ear.
This action made Zhu Zhanji's eyes straight, and said with a bit of annoyance: "Uncle, I am not an outsider."
Of course, Zhang Anshi has important matters to deal with right now, so he has no intention of teasing this kid.
On this end, Mrs. Zhang didn't have time to talk to Zhu Zhanji after listening to it. She frowned first, and then her expression became more and more dignified.
"really?"
"It can't be true anymore." Zhang Anshi said with a serious look on his face, "When I saw this, the first thing I thought of was my brother-in-law. This matter... I have to report the good news to my brother-in-law."
Mrs. Zhang stood up involuntarily at this time, paced lightly, paused and said: "You have done a good job, it shows that you have a conscience. Regardless of other things, our Zhang family must have a conscience. Come... Come on..."
So Zhang ordered an eunuch to hurry to invite the prince back.
Immediately, Mrs. Zhang asked Zhang Anshi to say: "I only let your brother-in-law go to announce the good news, but the people who followed you in this matter have done a lot of credit. When repaying the credit, you should be close to them first. It is a great credit for them to follow you desperately. You We can’t forget them, if we only know how to order people around, but don’t think about them wholeheartedly, who will help us in the future? The emperor is still a hungry soldier, you have to know this.”
Zhang Anshi said: "Ah... this... my sister is right, and I have always done it like this. Our Zhang family doesn't do things like waiting to cross the river and demolish the bridge."
Soon, Zhu Gaochi was called back.
He has been in a bad mood these past few days, and everyone in the East Palace thinks it has something to do with the assassination.
But in front of Zhang Anshi, he forced a smile and said kindly: "Anshi, what happened?"
Zhang Anshi said: "Brother-in-law, I heard..."
"Actually, it's not a big deal." Zhu Gaochi said, "Don't believe the rumors that you are so nervous. Don't worry about my affairs. As long as you can be safe and sound, I can rest assured."
After all, he touched Zhang Anshi's head, and said very gently: "I almost watched you grow up, and I know that you have a good heart, but you are too impatient. You are going to grow up, and you have to look forward and backward when you do things in the future." Just say that I have been in various ministries these few days, and I have heard complaints from many ministers, saying that you led people to blow up the villages of good people. Why not."
Zhang Anshi immediately understood the point, and hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law is talking about the family named Shen?"
Zhu Gaochi's face suddenly became worried, and said: "Why, you also bombed other people's houses?"
If you look carefully, Zhu Gaochi's complexion is sallow, and he even trembled subconsciously.
Zhang Anshi hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, no, but brother-in-law, this Shen man is not a good guy, he does all kinds of evil, he is really bad."
Hearing Zhang Anshi's words, Zhu Gaochi was obviously relieved, and smiled again: "You are still young, how can you tell right from wrong? Don't be fooled by others. This Shen family has an excellent reputation. This palace has also inquired about it, this family is a prominent local family, heir to the family of poems and books, they are also willing to do good deeds on weekdays, and have an excellent reputation."
Zhang Anshi snorted coldly, and said: "The reputation is excellent, how can there be such a big family business!"
Zhu Gaochi subconsciously said: "His family has thousands of acres of land, which should be enough to cover expenses."
Zhang Anshi said: "How many years will it take for thousands of acres of land to accumulate tens of millions of taels of silver, or even more wealth than this?"
Zhu Gaochi was stunned.
You must know that the price of silver was high in the early Ming Dynasty, and the output of thousands of acres of land was relatively fixed. Even if there was a bumper harvest every year, it would be impossible to accumulate so much silver in a hundred lifetimes without eating or drinking.
Zhu Gaochi's heart was obviously shaken, and he said in disbelief, "This...how is it possible?"
"How is it impossible?" Zhang Anshi said: "Seeing is believing, hearing is believing, brother-in-law... the money is in the warehouse at Qixia Temple wharf, I saw it with my own eyes."
After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi was dumbfounded, and then he became serious: "If that's the case, then... there's a lot to it."
"Exactly." Zhang Anshi said: "That's why I want my brother-in-law to go to the palace to announce the good news... No, it is to report this matter."
Zhu Gaochi understood immediately, then took a deep look at Zhang Anshi, and said, "Is it true?"
"I'll take the head as a guarantee."
"You go back to the warehouse now." Zhu Gaochi said solemnly, "I will enter the palace to have an audience with you."
Although Zhu Gaochi is generous, he is by no means a fool. Some things can be understood immediately. At this time, there must be no hesitation. He must go to see his father immediately.
Zhang Anshi complied, and the two left the East Palace together and went their separate ways.
…………
In the Forbidden City.
It's noon at this time.
Zhu Di was sitting in front of the imperial case, flipping through the memorials one by one.
In fact, he was not very patient with these memorials.
He prefers to spend half his life as a soldier, but... he is already the emperor, no matter what, he has to be patient and govern the world.
Soon, Yi Shiha discovered that Zhu Di's face was extremely ugly.
However, Zhu Di's face became more and more gloomy. In the end, Zhu Di angrily threw the memorial to the imperial case, and said angrily, "It's unreasonable, these people...will not give up yet?"
The memorial that was left behind was the memorial of Liu Rang, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and what he played was the bad deeds of Zhang Anshi and the three murderers in the capital, especially the bombardment of Shenjiazhuang.
Today, there is not only one censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but in fact there are many censors of impeachment memorials.
Only this Liu Rang spoke the most violent words, almost swearing at Zhu Di's nose.
Yi Shiha carefully went to help Zhu Di pick up the memorial.
Zhu Di said angrily: "Don't pick it up, do you still have to confess to such rebellious words against your father?"
Yi Shiha said: "Your Majesty, calm down, you don't have to hurt the Eucharist just because of a censor."
Zhu Di sneered and said: "Call the cabinet ministers, call this Liu Rang to meet!"
Also Shiha frowned.
He knew Zhu Di's temper, obviously he wanted to call him directly to Yuqian to scold him.
If other people are okay, they will scold them if they scold them, and after they calm down, the matter will naturally pass.
However, many civil servants... their tempers don't seem to be much better.
Think of how many ministers were killed and how many people were skinned and used as grass when Emperor Taizu Gao was in power!But even so, in the later years of Emperor Taizu Gao, Emperor Gao of the Northern and Southern Dynasties raised a question about why all Jinshi in the imperial examination were from the South.
As a result, he was immediately pushed back by the examiners.
Zhu Yuanzhang was still not reconciled, but he still saved a little face for the examiners and asked them to re-read the papers and add northerners to become officials. .
But they still didn't take Zhu Yuanzhang seriously, and in the end they added a few northerners. It's just that... those who were admitted were deliberately selected from the northern scholars who were not good at the examination papers and had some taboo words.
It is obvious that it is embarrassing for Emperor Taizu Gao.
This is the case with Emperor Taizu Gao. Although His Majesty is also a ruthless person today, it is obvious that in the eyes of some ministers, he is considered a bird?
What people want is a clear name.
And people who care about their reputation are mostly ministers from the Hanlin Academy and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. This Liu Rang dared to impeach him so impolitely, obviously he had planned to be tough long ago.
When……
Yi Shiha sighed, but still obediently responded to the name and nodded: "Your maid obeys the order."
Soon after, all the scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion, together with Liu Rang, the censor of Nadu Procuratorate, came to see him.
Zhu Di had been holding his breath all the time, with a gloomy face, and immediately scolded: "Your mother, are you trying to separate me from Xun Chen?"
Xie Jin, Yang Rong, and Hu Guang probably knew the situation. They had even seen the memorial in advance, so of course they knew what His Majesty was cursing.
It's just that Zhu Di's mouth is too stinky, which makes them very speechless.
Liu Rang looked calm, and Shi Shiran stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has given a true report and speaks out of righteousness. Why did Your Majesty say this?"
Zhu Di's face twitched, and the anger in his heart became more intense. He glared at him angrily and said, "This memorial is just trying to make a name for yourself."
Liu Rang said eloquently: "Your Majesty's words are really embarrassing. I am content with my duties. Even if I don't get your majesty's encouragement, I definitely shouldn't be punished. If your majesty thinks what I said is not true, you can continue to order a thorough investigation. But according to my investigation, the truth of the matter is like this."
He paused, then continued: "The Shen family was attacked and suffered heavy losses, and the Shen family is a family of good deeds. Everyone knows that, can His Majesty ignore these? Of course, His Majesty thinks that the Shen family is suspicious, there is no problem... Your Majesty The universe is arbitrary, and the courtiers can act according to the order."
"But after His Majesty made the decree, Yousi...that is, the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate did verify it, and His Majesty naturally knew the result of the verification. Then...what is wrong with this impeachment memorandum? Such a kind family suffers for no reason, but the real culprit is at large, I dare to ask, if the honorable ministers are not restrained, what are the laws and regulations of the king?"
What he said was righteous.
Zhu Di, who was full of anger, was stunned speechless for a moment.
At this moment when Zhu Di was at a loss for words, Liu Rang continued to say with reason and evidence: "Not only that, but before the impeachment memorial, I was afraid that something might be wrong, so I personally asked the relevant people, etc., and the conclusions were the same. Shen Jing of the Shen family, helping the poor and helping the poor in the local area, and giving generously to the public, is really a good man and righteous man of my Ming Dynasty. Even he has suffered this catastrophe, and there is no place to avenge his grievances. The people of this world should be chilled. How far."
After that, Liu Rang choked up, prostrated himself in the tunnel and said: "If your majesty thinks what I said is wrong, you can add a hatchet to your body to punish the crime of disrespect, and you will be slaughtered by your neck. Just ask your majesty to think of the common people. , with Daming Jiangshan as the most important thing, things like the Shen family can't, and won't happen again."
Zhu Di: "..."
After hearing this long passage, Zhu Di was already gnashing his teeth angrily, but at this moment, he discovered a terrible fact.
He really doesn't care about this.
He was still a little confused, so he should calm down and not ask this guy to confront him.
As a result, Zhu Di was unable to get off the tiger.
Liu Rang said again: "If your Majesty thinks what I said is correct, then you should make an order to arrest the three murderers in the capital, and that Zhang Anshi. You should declare the canonical punishment and give the Shen family justice. The government and the government of the State of Qi are incapable of discipline, so they should be admonished, Your Majesty, I have one more word, boldly advance..."
After a pause, Liu Rang took a deep breath and said, "In the history of ruling the world, sages and benevolent masters mostly appoint sages..."
Zhu Di looked at him coldly, and interrupted: "Who is a sage?"
Liu Rang said: "I am a person who reads the books of sages."
Zhu Di said: "Whoever I use, I will also take care of you?"
"If Your Majesty is still close to the ministers, pampering people like the three murderers in the capital...letting them bully good people like the Shen family at will, as a minister, what is the duty of the minister, why don't you say nothing?"
Zhu Di gritted his teeth and was speechless for a moment.
He remembered again that he didn't care about this matter, and now it was being used to make a big fuss.
What Liu Rang said was actually quite recognized by the scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion, especially Xie Jin. At this time, Xie Jin couldn't help but look at Liu Rang with admiration.
After this day's performance, I'm afraid that Liu Rang will become famous soon.
But at this moment, Yi Shiha hurried into the hall and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will see you."
After hearing this, Zhu Di said, "Xuan come in."
Recently, his impression of the prince has changed a lot, but today he is irritable and regrets that he has shot himself in the foot, so his face is still not good-looking.
After a while, Zhu Gaochi dragged his fat body into the palace, saluted Zhu Di and said, "I have seen my father."
Zhu Di nodded at him: "Shouldn't the prince be watching the government at the Ministry of Households today?"
"My son has something to report, because the matter is urgent, so..."
Zhu Di said: "If you have something to say, it's okay to say it."
Zhu Gaochi paused, glanced at Xie Jin and the three of them, and then saw Liu Rang.
He is quite familiar with Liu Rang. In fact, Zhu Gaochi has long heard that Liu Rang has a good official reputation and is a man who speaks out of justice.
But now, Zhu Gaochi was not in the mood to pay attention to this, but he thought for a moment and said: "My son, together with Zhang Anshi, Jingcheng San... No, it was Zhu Yong, Zhang Fu, Qiu Songren, etc., who found a warehouse."
When Zhu Di heard that it was those guys again, his face was a little embarrassed.
Those guys were caught just now, okay, what happened to this?
I saw Zhu Di said: "The warehouse, what warehouse?"
Zhu Gaochi said directly: "The warehouse is full of gold and silver, no less than 10 taels, or even more... Now Zhang Anshi and a few are doing their best to check."
Zhu Di was taken aback for a moment, then regained his energy and his eyes lit up.
"Whose family?"
"Quiet."
"Who is Shen Jing?" Zhu Di was a little confused.
"It's the owner of Shenjiazhuang."
As soon as these words came out, there was a complete silence in the hall.
Liu Rang's face changed, but he was very reserved, but he remained silent.
Zhu Di got up all of a sudden, and said, "Shenjiazhuang? Then Shenjiazhuang...where did so much gold and silver come from?"
Zhu Gaochi said: "That's why I find it strange."
Zhu Di's face turned cold all of a sudden, and he glared at Liu Rang fiercely: "Haven't you, the censor of the bird, and the Ministry of Punishment have already verified it? The Shen family...there is only thousands of acres of fertile land at home, and the farming and reading biography Home? Let me ask you, where did all this money come from?"
Liu Rang has seen the world, and his first reaction was to frame him: "Your Majesty, will someone frame the Shen family?"
Zhu Di looked at him with a sneer: "Okay, there are people who use so much money to frame his Shen family? This Shen family is really a big face. Even though he claims to be a grassroots, there are still people who are willing to spend such money."
Liu Rang was a little anxious: "Right and wrong... I have my own division of religion, I think there is something strange here..."
Zhu Di's face was frosty: "Of course there is something strange. How can a mere commoner get such a large amount of wealth? If something goes wrong, it is a monster. I ordered a thorough investigation by the Secretary, but these...why didn't you find out the truth? "
Liu Rang said: "The minister waits for justice..."
"What a fair person!" Zhu Di looked at him mockingly and said, "I'm going to investigate this matter thoroughly, but I want to see who is lying."
Liu Rang was flustered at first, but soon calmed down.
He thought that he was absolutely infallible, and there must be someone playing tricks behind his back, so he said: "Then I implore Your Majesty, and order a thorough investigation."
Zhu Di looked at him coldly: "Should I let you investigate?"
Liu Rang eloquently said: "If it weren't for Yousi, how could the truth be revealed!"
Zhu Di said bluntly: "I will investigate in person. Don't even think about leaving today. I will go to the Ministry of Punishment and get all the files. I must get to the bottom of it."
…………
No one would have thought that the Shenjiazhuang case, which was rumored in the market, would become even bigger today.
All the ministries were originally working step by step, but suddenly I heard that His Majesty led the Wenyuange University Scholars to arrive at the Ministry of Punishment together with members of the Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the three divisions of the Ministry of Punishment.
In the Ministry of Punishment Hall, the newly appointed Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, Lu Zhen, hurriedly led the officials from the Ministry of Justice to pick him up.
This Lu Zhen surrendered to Zhu Di not long after the Jingnan, and he also made contributions during the Jingnan. After entering Nanjing, Zhu Di thought that the Ministry of Punishment was the key to the Ministry of Justice, so he let Lu Zhen be the servant of the Ministry of Punishment first. , Not long after the new promotion, he was promoted to Shangshu.
However, Lu Zhen's ability is obviously average, and most of the affairs in the hall usually need the guidance of the assistant officials in the hall.
Seeing that His Majesty came here today to personally interrogate the Shenjiazhuang case, I was a little panicked.
The case that has already been settled is suddenly going to be retried. Doesn't this prove that the Ministry of Criminal Affairs did not handle the matter well?
He welcomed Zhu Di into the hall nervously, but Zhu Di ignored him with a dark face.
Zhu Di immediately said, "Three things!"
He said calmly: "The first thing is to order the officials of the Ministry of Punishment to go to the warehouse that was confiscated, count the approximate amount, and report it immediately."
"The second thing is to order people to bring Shen Jing and others to the case and send them to me for trial."
"The third thing, take the previous file and send it to my case."
Zhu Di is used to military orders like mountains, so no one dares to neglect.
After a while, Shen Jing was caught.
After Shen Jing confessed obediently, she was sent back to Zhuangzi by Zhang Anshi and the others. Anyway, if he ran away, the monk would not be able to escape from the temple, so Zhang Anshi was not worried about him escaping.
And this Shen Jing was already terrified, knowing that something might go wrong, and had a premonition that something would happen, so he really wanted to pack up some things and run away!
But the world is so big, how can there be a place for him?
Before he could plan where to go, his captors came.
At this time, as soon as Shen Jing came in, he immediately burst into tears, crying: "I am wronged, I am wronged..."
Zhu Di kept a cold face, but he took the file, looked down, and said, "All the officials say you are a good person, don't you?"
Shen Jing just trembled.
Zhu Di raised his head, stared at Shen Jing fiercely, and said, "Which person from the Ministry of Punishment verified it? Stand up and speak out!"
A head of the criminal department stood up in a panic: "Yes...it's my minister..."
Zhu Di said: "Since you verified it, can you be responsible for it?"
After hearing Zhu Di's words, the head of the Ministry of Criminal Justice felt that this was strange.
He looked up, but saw Liu Rang, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who was standing aside, and said: "At that time, I went to investigate with Liu Yushi. During the process, Liu Yushi said... This is a good man, don't criticize him .”
After hearing that, Zhu Di's eyes like arrows fell on Liu Rang.
Liu Rang couldn't get angry, okay, now the responsibility is shifted to him.
But this Liu Rang is very stubborn: "I said these words, but when I checked with them, I did it fairly and did not bend the law for personal gain. Everything I said is true, and I dare to use Wusha as a guarantee."
Zhu Di lowered his head and continued to read the dossier, but said calmly: "You don't need to use black yarn, but use human heads."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Di looked at the silence again, and said coldly: "I'll ask you again, are you the rumored Shen Shanren?"
At this moment, Shen Jing was terrified, and stammered, "Yes... yes..."
"Why are you Shen Shanren?"
"Grass people... grass people are willing to do good things... build bridges and repair roads on weekdays, and help the people in disaster years... this... that's why they get such a bad name..."
Zhu Di sneered and said, "It's exactly the same as what was said in the dossier. In this way, you are really a kind people."
Immediately, Zhu Di continued to look down at the file.
Soon after, several people from Zhang Anshi arrived together with the people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
Several Zhang Anshi entered the hall to salute.
Zhu Di glared at these guys, but did not respond coldly.
Zhu Di asked the officials of the Ministry of Punishment who came with him: "Are you sure the money in the treasury is real?"
The hall official who led the team said: "It is true."
Zhu Di said: "How much silver do you have?"
The hall official said truthfully: "Cheng Enbo and the others found an account book in the warehouse. The number on the account book should be similar to the gold and silver in it. There is silver...there is about 1201 million taels of silver."
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderclap, and everyone in the room was shocked.
Even Zhu Di was dumbfounded and couldn't speak for a moment.
At this moment, the hall fell into a deathly silence.
120 taels...
I'm afraid this is beyond the barren imagination of most people in the palace.
Zhu Di's eyes started to turn red.
Then, the tiger's eyes seemed to start to burn hot...fever.
Finally, as if he wanted to confirm again, he said, "How much?"
"One hundred and twenty thousand taels..."
Zhu Di's beard trembled.
He took a deep breath, and then said: "One hundred and twenty thousand taels... One hundred and two million taels... One hundred and two million taels...How did you save it? When I was in the Beiping palace, I cut down on food and clothing, and the emperor gave me ten thousand mu of land. There are also various rewards, as well as the prince's salary, I am afraid that the entire Peking Palace will not eat or drink for several lifetimes, and they will not be able to save so much money..."
"However, a mere common man is still willing to do good things on weekdays, doing things that harm himself and benefit others... He cultivates and studies his family... farming and studying his family... he can save so much money..."
Zhu Di was so surprised that he even started to slur his words.
It's not that Zhu Di has no concentration, but that this matter is too unimaginable and shocking.
Not to mention him, even Xie Jin and the others were already so shocked that their mouths couldn't close their mouths.
Liu Rang was even more horrified, he still didn't believe it, even though he thought it was a trick when the prince gave the report just now, and he still didn't think it was possible for the Ministry of Punishment to check it himself.
"Your Majesty, there is... I'm afraid there is something strange here..." Liu Rang hurriedly said: "I think... I think... this is absurd, 120 million taels is not a treasure, how can there be... how can there be... ..."
In fact, at this time, Liu Rang was still desperately trying to defend himself, but he also started to stutter, because deep down in his heart, he suddenly felt... Could there be a possibility... Could it be true?
The official of the Ministry of Punishment said at this time: "Your Majesty, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't dare to report it like this."
That's right, the emperor sits here. Such a big case has attracted so many people's attention. Who dares to cheat on it, because he thinks he died not fast enough?
Zhu Di closed his eyes, and his slow breathing finally became even.
Immediately, the tiger's eyes opened sharply, but they were fixed on Shen Jing's body.
Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "Come on, if you don't make it clear today, be careful with your skin!"
Shen Jing's face was bleak, he was paralyzed on the ground in fright, speechless for a long time.
"Your Majesty..." Liu Rang really panicked at this moment: "Could it be...someone is trying to frame good people..."
When he spoke, his eyes looked at Zhang Anshi.
Zhang Anshi's face was calm, but his heart was already in love with your mother.
Zhu Di glanced at Liu Rang from the corner of his eye, and said coldly: "Really? The Qing family is going to sue Zhang Anshi for framing his beloved? Liu Rang... you know, false accusers, sit back!"
Liu Rang has always been known for his toughness. People praised him as a straight censor, and he himself took Wei Zheng as a role model. If Zhu Di didn't threaten him, it would be fine, but with such a threat, he would be upright and awe-inspiring.
So he said: "Which one is better and which is worse, no one in the world knows the reputation of Zhang Anshi and the three murderers in the capital, do you still need me to discredit it? But this Shen family... is indeed a great kind person. I don't know how many people admire it. I use my own knowledge , naturally make the above inference.”
At this time...a hoarse voice suddenly said: "Yes... it belongs to my family... it belongs to my family... the grassroots are dead, Your Majesty spares your life."
The one who speaks is silence.
Liu Rang: "..."
Everyone looked at Shen Jing in unison.
Shen Jing's face was ashamed, and at this moment, all thoughts were destroyed.
In fact, he already knew that now that the emperor was in trial, the matter had become serious, and the matter had reached such a level that the Shen family could not hide anything.
If you want to grit your teeth and not let go, you are just making yourself suffer more flesh and blood.
And the emperor in front of him is obviously not a good person. He is usually tolerant to everyone, even if he encounters a few people who push his nose and face, he can bear it, but once he gets angry, he will bleed like a river. A ruthless person who can erase all traces of your entire family in this world.
Zhu Di's spirit lifted at this moment.
"You call yourself a grassroots person, where did the money come from?"
"I... I'm in business... Caomin is in business..." Shen Jing wept.
Zhu Di laughed loudly: "Business, is there such a good business in the world?"
Be silent.
At this moment, Zhu Di seemed calm and relaxed, but what he said next made everyone's scalps tingle.
He calmly said to the eunuchs beside him: "Master Ji Gang quickly, go to Shen's house quickly, and take him, men, women, old and young, and all his fellow clansmen. disposal."
Yi Shiha bowed to promise, and then walked away in short steps.
"..."
Shen Jing only felt that the five thunders were hitting her head, and she was paralyzed all of a sudden, but she didn't know where the strength came from, and suddenly burst into crying: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Caomin... Caomin..."
(End of this chapter)
Zhang Fu didn't lie, he really couldn't move.
Looking at the layers of gold and silver piled up in front of him, like a mountain of gold and silver, anyone can only feel shocked.
Zhu Yong was still beating up the guard outside, and the guard was screaming.
At this time, Zhang Anshi only felt ashamed in his heart.
He originally thought that by relying on his own clever mind and the foresight of his two lifetimes, he started the shipping business, and he could be regarded as a rich man after all, earning a lot of money.
But when he got here, he didn't know what it means to be a little witch.
It can also be seen how much money those unethical transactions make.
This is really worse than stealing money.
Zhang Anshi finally regained his composure, thought about it seriously, but said: "No, you stay here, don't report to the palace, everyone stays where you are. Brother, I have to go..."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Anshi set off in a hurry, out of breath.
But he is not stupid, in this turbulent time, he still has to worry about his safety, he called Qiu Song to follow him, and Qiu Song was carrying a gunpowder bag on his back.
Along the way, Zhang Anshi went straight to the East Palace.
It was only at this time that Zhang Anshi knew that his brother-in-law had gone out early in the morning, and was ordered by the emperor to go to the household department for inspection.
Zhang Anshi then found his elder sister, Princess Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang is playing with Zhu Zhanji.
Zhu Zhanji was riding a wooden horse, triumphantly.
Zhang Anshi ignored him, looked straight at Zhang Shi and said: "Sister, please let brother-in-law come back immediately, I have something important to report."
Mrs. Zhang glanced at him, and said disapprovingly: "What can you do? Didn't your Majesty tell you to go to Master Hu Yan to continue studying? Why are you idle again?"
Zhang Anshi had no choice but to say: "Mr. Hu said that I have learned a lot, and I am rich in everything. He has nothing to teach me, so I have graduated."
Mrs. Zhang didn't believe such words, so she frowned and said, "What kind of nonsense is this!"
Zhang Anshi was also very speechless, so he said awkwardly: "I also think he seems to be lying to me, but I have no proof."
Mrs. Zhang didn't continue to question this, but said: "What kind of trouble did you encounter again, and you insist on letting your brother-in-law come back?"
Zhang Anshi hurriedly said: "It's not difficult, it's a great joy, so I must teach my brother-in-law to come back quickly."
Mrs. Zhang frowned again, half-believing.
Zhang Anshi looked around carefully, as if very mysterious, as if he was afraid of being overheard.
It's just that in this bedroom, apart from Zhang Anshi, there are only Zhang and Zhu Zhanji.
But Zhang Anshi still went forward, and carefully whispered in Zhang's ear.
This action made Zhu Zhanji's eyes straight, and said with a bit of annoyance: "Uncle, I am not an outsider."
Of course, Zhang Anshi has important matters to deal with right now, so he has no intention of teasing this kid.
On this end, Mrs. Zhang didn't have time to talk to Zhu Zhanji after listening to it. She frowned first, and then her expression became more and more dignified.
"really?"
"It can't be true anymore." Zhang Anshi said with a serious look on his face, "When I saw this, the first thing I thought of was my brother-in-law. This matter... I have to report the good news to my brother-in-law."
Mrs. Zhang stood up involuntarily at this time, paced lightly, paused and said: "You have done a good job, it shows that you have a conscience. Regardless of other things, our Zhang family must have a conscience. Come... Come on..."
So Zhang ordered an eunuch to hurry to invite the prince back.
Immediately, Mrs. Zhang asked Zhang Anshi to say: "I only let your brother-in-law go to announce the good news, but the people who followed you in this matter have done a lot of credit. When repaying the credit, you should be close to them first. It is a great credit for them to follow you desperately. You We can’t forget them, if we only know how to order people around, but don’t think about them wholeheartedly, who will help us in the future? The emperor is still a hungry soldier, you have to know this.”
Zhang Anshi said: "Ah... this... my sister is right, and I have always done it like this. Our Zhang family doesn't do things like waiting to cross the river and demolish the bridge."
Soon, Zhu Gaochi was called back.
He has been in a bad mood these past few days, and everyone in the East Palace thinks it has something to do with the assassination.
But in front of Zhang Anshi, he forced a smile and said kindly: "Anshi, what happened?"
Zhang Anshi said: "Brother-in-law, I heard..."
"Actually, it's not a big deal." Zhu Gaochi said, "Don't believe the rumors that you are so nervous. Don't worry about my affairs. As long as you can be safe and sound, I can rest assured."
After all, he touched Zhang Anshi's head, and said very gently: "I almost watched you grow up, and I know that you have a good heart, but you are too impatient. You are going to grow up, and you have to look forward and backward when you do things in the future." Just say that I have been in various ministries these few days, and I have heard complaints from many ministers, saying that you led people to blow up the villages of good people. Why not."
Zhang Anshi immediately understood the point, and hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law is talking about the family named Shen?"
Zhu Gaochi's face suddenly became worried, and said: "Why, you also bombed other people's houses?"
If you look carefully, Zhu Gaochi's complexion is sallow, and he even trembled subconsciously.
Zhang Anshi hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, no, but brother-in-law, this Shen man is not a good guy, he does all kinds of evil, he is really bad."
Hearing Zhang Anshi's words, Zhu Gaochi was obviously relieved, and smiled again: "You are still young, how can you tell right from wrong? Don't be fooled by others. This Shen family has an excellent reputation. This palace has also inquired about it, this family is a prominent local family, heir to the family of poems and books, they are also willing to do good deeds on weekdays, and have an excellent reputation."
Zhang Anshi snorted coldly, and said: "The reputation is excellent, how can there be such a big family business!"
Zhu Gaochi subconsciously said: "His family has thousands of acres of land, which should be enough to cover expenses."
Zhang Anshi said: "How many years will it take for thousands of acres of land to accumulate tens of millions of taels of silver, or even more wealth than this?"
Zhu Gaochi was stunned.
You must know that the price of silver was high in the early Ming Dynasty, and the output of thousands of acres of land was relatively fixed. Even if there was a bumper harvest every year, it would be impossible to accumulate so much silver in a hundred lifetimes without eating or drinking.
Zhu Gaochi's heart was obviously shaken, and he said in disbelief, "This...how is it possible?"
"How is it impossible?" Zhang Anshi said: "Seeing is believing, hearing is believing, brother-in-law... the money is in the warehouse at Qixia Temple wharf, I saw it with my own eyes."
After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi was dumbfounded, and then he became serious: "If that's the case, then... there's a lot to it."
"Exactly." Zhang Anshi said: "That's why I want my brother-in-law to go to the palace to announce the good news... No, it is to report this matter."
Zhu Gaochi understood immediately, then took a deep look at Zhang Anshi, and said, "Is it true?"
"I'll take the head as a guarantee."
"You go back to the warehouse now." Zhu Gaochi said solemnly, "I will enter the palace to have an audience with you."
Although Zhu Gaochi is generous, he is by no means a fool. Some things can be understood immediately. At this time, there must be no hesitation. He must go to see his father immediately.
Zhang Anshi complied, and the two left the East Palace together and went their separate ways.
…………
In the Forbidden City.
It's noon at this time.
Zhu Di was sitting in front of the imperial case, flipping through the memorials one by one.
In fact, he was not very patient with these memorials.
He prefers to spend half his life as a soldier, but... he is already the emperor, no matter what, he has to be patient and govern the world.
Soon, Yi Shiha discovered that Zhu Di's face was extremely ugly.
However, Zhu Di's face became more and more gloomy. In the end, Zhu Di angrily threw the memorial to the imperial case, and said angrily, "It's unreasonable, these people...will not give up yet?"
The memorial that was left behind was the memorial of Liu Rang, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and what he played was the bad deeds of Zhang Anshi and the three murderers in the capital, especially the bombardment of Shenjiazhuang.
Today, there is not only one censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but in fact there are many censors of impeachment memorials.
Only this Liu Rang spoke the most violent words, almost swearing at Zhu Di's nose.
Yi Shiha carefully went to help Zhu Di pick up the memorial.
Zhu Di said angrily: "Don't pick it up, do you still have to confess to such rebellious words against your father?"
Yi Shiha said: "Your Majesty, calm down, you don't have to hurt the Eucharist just because of a censor."
Zhu Di sneered and said: "Call the cabinet ministers, call this Liu Rang to meet!"
Also Shiha frowned.
He knew Zhu Di's temper, obviously he wanted to call him directly to Yuqian to scold him.
If other people are okay, they will scold them if they scold them, and after they calm down, the matter will naturally pass.
However, many civil servants... their tempers don't seem to be much better.
Think of how many ministers were killed and how many people were skinned and used as grass when Emperor Taizu Gao was in power!But even so, in the later years of Emperor Taizu Gao, Emperor Gao of the Northern and Southern Dynasties raised a question about why all Jinshi in the imperial examination were from the South.
As a result, he was immediately pushed back by the examiners.
Zhu Yuanzhang was still not reconciled, but he still saved a little face for the examiners and asked them to re-read the papers and add northerners to become officials. .
But they still didn't take Zhu Yuanzhang seriously, and in the end they added a few northerners. It's just that... those who were admitted were deliberately selected from the northern scholars who were not good at the examination papers and had some taboo words.
It is obvious that it is embarrassing for Emperor Taizu Gao.
This is the case with Emperor Taizu Gao. Although His Majesty is also a ruthless person today, it is obvious that in the eyes of some ministers, he is considered a bird?
What people want is a clear name.
And people who care about their reputation are mostly ministers from the Hanlin Academy and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. This Liu Rang dared to impeach him so impolitely, obviously he had planned to be tough long ago.
When……
Yi Shiha sighed, but still obediently responded to the name and nodded: "Your maid obeys the order."
Soon after, all the scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion, together with Liu Rang, the censor of Nadu Procuratorate, came to see him.
Zhu Di had been holding his breath all the time, with a gloomy face, and immediately scolded: "Your mother, are you trying to separate me from Xun Chen?"
Xie Jin, Yang Rong, and Hu Guang probably knew the situation. They had even seen the memorial in advance, so of course they knew what His Majesty was cursing.
It's just that Zhu Di's mouth is too stinky, which makes them very speechless.
Liu Rang looked calm, and Shi Shiran stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has given a true report and speaks out of righteousness. Why did Your Majesty say this?"
Zhu Di's face twitched, and the anger in his heart became more intense. He glared at him angrily and said, "This memorial is just trying to make a name for yourself."
Liu Rang said eloquently: "Your Majesty's words are really embarrassing. I am content with my duties. Even if I don't get your majesty's encouragement, I definitely shouldn't be punished. If your majesty thinks what I said is not true, you can continue to order a thorough investigation. But according to my investigation, the truth of the matter is like this."
He paused, then continued: "The Shen family was attacked and suffered heavy losses, and the Shen family is a family of good deeds. Everyone knows that, can His Majesty ignore these? Of course, His Majesty thinks that the Shen family is suspicious, there is no problem... Your Majesty The universe is arbitrary, and the courtiers can act according to the order."
"But after His Majesty made the decree, Yousi...that is, the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate did verify it, and His Majesty naturally knew the result of the verification. Then...what is wrong with this impeachment memorandum? Such a kind family suffers for no reason, but the real culprit is at large, I dare to ask, if the honorable ministers are not restrained, what are the laws and regulations of the king?"
What he said was righteous.
Zhu Di, who was full of anger, was stunned speechless for a moment.
At this moment when Zhu Di was at a loss for words, Liu Rang continued to say with reason and evidence: "Not only that, but before the impeachment memorial, I was afraid that something might be wrong, so I personally asked the relevant people, etc., and the conclusions were the same. Shen Jing of the Shen family, helping the poor and helping the poor in the local area, and giving generously to the public, is really a good man and righteous man of my Ming Dynasty. Even he has suffered this catastrophe, and there is no place to avenge his grievances. The people of this world should be chilled. How far."
After that, Liu Rang choked up, prostrated himself in the tunnel and said: "If your majesty thinks what I said is wrong, you can add a hatchet to your body to punish the crime of disrespect, and you will be slaughtered by your neck. Just ask your majesty to think of the common people. , with Daming Jiangshan as the most important thing, things like the Shen family can't, and won't happen again."
Zhu Di: "..."
After hearing this long passage, Zhu Di was already gnashing his teeth angrily, but at this moment, he discovered a terrible fact.
He really doesn't care about this.
He was still a little confused, so he should calm down and not ask this guy to confront him.
As a result, Zhu Di was unable to get off the tiger.
Liu Rang said again: "If your Majesty thinks what I said is correct, then you should make an order to arrest the three murderers in the capital, and that Zhang Anshi. You should declare the canonical punishment and give the Shen family justice. The government and the government of the State of Qi are incapable of discipline, so they should be admonished, Your Majesty, I have one more word, boldly advance..."
After a pause, Liu Rang took a deep breath and said, "In the history of ruling the world, sages and benevolent masters mostly appoint sages..."
Zhu Di looked at him coldly, and interrupted: "Who is a sage?"
Liu Rang said: "I am a person who reads the books of sages."
Zhu Di said: "Whoever I use, I will also take care of you?"
"If Your Majesty is still close to the ministers, pampering people like the three murderers in the capital...letting them bully good people like the Shen family at will, as a minister, what is the duty of the minister, why don't you say nothing?"
Zhu Di gritted his teeth and was speechless for a moment.
He remembered again that he didn't care about this matter, and now it was being used to make a big fuss.
What Liu Rang said was actually quite recognized by the scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion, especially Xie Jin. At this time, Xie Jin couldn't help but look at Liu Rang with admiration.
After this day's performance, I'm afraid that Liu Rang will become famous soon.
But at this moment, Yi Shiha hurried into the hall and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will see you."
After hearing this, Zhu Di said, "Xuan come in."
Recently, his impression of the prince has changed a lot, but today he is irritable and regrets that he has shot himself in the foot, so his face is still not good-looking.
After a while, Zhu Gaochi dragged his fat body into the palace, saluted Zhu Di and said, "I have seen my father."
Zhu Di nodded at him: "Shouldn't the prince be watching the government at the Ministry of Households today?"
"My son has something to report, because the matter is urgent, so..."
Zhu Di said: "If you have something to say, it's okay to say it."
Zhu Gaochi paused, glanced at Xie Jin and the three of them, and then saw Liu Rang.
He is quite familiar with Liu Rang. In fact, Zhu Gaochi has long heard that Liu Rang has a good official reputation and is a man who speaks out of justice.
But now, Zhu Gaochi was not in the mood to pay attention to this, but he thought for a moment and said: "My son, together with Zhang Anshi, Jingcheng San... No, it was Zhu Yong, Zhang Fu, Qiu Songren, etc., who found a warehouse."
When Zhu Di heard that it was those guys again, his face was a little embarrassed.
Those guys were caught just now, okay, what happened to this?
I saw Zhu Di said: "The warehouse, what warehouse?"
Zhu Gaochi said directly: "The warehouse is full of gold and silver, no less than 10 taels, or even more... Now Zhang Anshi and a few are doing their best to check."
Zhu Di was taken aback for a moment, then regained his energy and his eyes lit up.
"Whose family?"
"Quiet."
"Who is Shen Jing?" Zhu Di was a little confused.
"It's the owner of Shenjiazhuang."
As soon as these words came out, there was a complete silence in the hall.
Liu Rang's face changed, but he was very reserved, but he remained silent.
Zhu Di got up all of a sudden, and said, "Shenjiazhuang? Then Shenjiazhuang...where did so much gold and silver come from?"
Zhu Gaochi said: "That's why I find it strange."
Zhu Di's face turned cold all of a sudden, and he glared at Liu Rang fiercely: "Haven't you, the censor of the bird, and the Ministry of Punishment have already verified it? The Shen family...there is only thousands of acres of fertile land at home, and the farming and reading biography Home? Let me ask you, where did all this money come from?"
Liu Rang has seen the world, and his first reaction was to frame him: "Your Majesty, will someone frame the Shen family?"
Zhu Di looked at him with a sneer: "Okay, there are people who use so much money to frame his Shen family? This Shen family is really a big face. Even though he claims to be a grassroots, there are still people who are willing to spend such money."
Liu Rang was a little anxious: "Right and wrong... I have my own division of religion, I think there is something strange here..."
Zhu Di's face was frosty: "Of course there is something strange. How can a mere commoner get such a large amount of wealth? If something goes wrong, it is a monster. I ordered a thorough investigation by the Secretary, but these...why didn't you find out the truth? "
Liu Rang said: "The minister waits for justice..."
"What a fair person!" Zhu Di looked at him mockingly and said, "I'm going to investigate this matter thoroughly, but I want to see who is lying."
Liu Rang was flustered at first, but soon calmed down.
He thought that he was absolutely infallible, and there must be someone playing tricks behind his back, so he said: "Then I implore Your Majesty, and order a thorough investigation."
Zhu Di looked at him coldly: "Should I let you investigate?"
Liu Rang eloquently said: "If it weren't for Yousi, how could the truth be revealed!"
Zhu Di said bluntly: "I will investigate in person. Don't even think about leaving today. I will go to the Ministry of Punishment and get all the files. I must get to the bottom of it."
…………
No one would have thought that the Shenjiazhuang case, which was rumored in the market, would become even bigger today.
All the ministries were originally working step by step, but suddenly I heard that His Majesty led the Wenyuange University Scholars to arrive at the Ministry of Punishment together with members of the Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the three divisions of the Ministry of Punishment.
In the Ministry of Punishment Hall, the newly appointed Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, Lu Zhen, hurriedly led the officials from the Ministry of Justice to pick him up.
This Lu Zhen surrendered to Zhu Di not long after the Jingnan, and he also made contributions during the Jingnan. After entering Nanjing, Zhu Di thought that the Ministry of Punishment was the key to the Ministry of Justice, so he let Lu Zhen be the servant of the Ministry of Punishment first. , Not long after the new promotion, he was promoted to Shangshu.
However, Lu Zhen's ability is obviously average, and most of the affairs in the hall usually need the guidance of the assistant officials in the hall.
Seeing that His Majesty came here today to personally interrogate the Shenjiazhuang case, I was a little panicked.
The case that has already been settled is suddenly going to be retried. Doesn't this prove that the Ministry of Criminal Affairs did not handle the matter well?
He welcomed Zhu Di into the hall nervously, but Zhu Di ignored him with a dark face.
Zhu Di immediately said, "Three things!"
He said calmly: "The first thing is to order the officials of the Ministry of Punishment to go to the warehouse that was confiscated, count the approximate amount, and report it immediately."
"The second thing is to order people to bring Shen Jing and others to the case and send them to me for trial."
"The third thing, take the previous file and send it to my case."
Zhu Di is used to military orders like mountains, so no one dares to neglect.
After a while, Shen Jing was caught.
After Shen Jing confessed obediently, she was sent back to Zhuangzi by Zhang Anshi and the others. Anyway, if he ran away, the monk would not be able to escape from the temple, so Zhang Anshi was not worried about him escaping.
And this Shen Jing was already terrified, knowing that something might go wrong, and had a premonition that something would happen, so he really wanted to pack up some things and run away!
But the world is so big, how can there be a place for him?
Before he could plan where to go, his captors came.
At this time, as soon as Shen Jing came in, he immediately burst into tears, crying: "I am wronged, I am wronged..."
Zhu Di kept a cold face, but he took the file, looked down, and said, "All the officials say you are a good person, don't you?"
Shen Jing just trembled.
Zhu Di raised his head, stared at Shen Jing fiercely, and said, "Which person from the Ministry of Punishment verified it? Stand up and speak out!"
A head of the criminal department stood up in a panic: "Yes...it's my minister..."
Zhu Di said: "Since you verified it, can you be responsible for it?"
After hearing Zhu Di's words, the head of the Ministry of Criminal Justice felt that this was strange.
He looked up, but saw Liu Rang, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who was standing aside, and said: "At that time, I went to investigate with Liu Yushi. During the process, Liu Yushi said... This is a good man, don't criticize him .”
After hearing that, Zhu Di's eyes like arrows fell on Liu Rang.
Liu Rang couldn't get angry, okay, now the responsibility is shifted to him.
But this Liu Rang is very stubborn: "I said these words, but when I checked with them, I did it fairly and did not bend the law for personal gain. Everything I said is true, and I dare to use Wusha as a guarantee."
Zhu Di lowered his head and continued to read the dossier, but said calmly: "You don't need to use black yarn, but use human heads."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Di looked at the silence again, and said coldly: "I'll ask you again, are you the rumored Shen Shanren?"
At this moment, Shen Jing was terrified, and stammered, "Yes... yes..."
"Why are you Shen Shanren?"
"Grass people... grass people are willing to do good things... build bridges and repair roads on weekdays, and help the people in disaster years... this... that's why they get such a bad name..."
Zhu Di sneered and said, "It's exactly the same as what was said in the dossier. In this way, you are really a kind people."
Immediately, Zhu Di continued to look down at the file.
Soon after, several people from Zhang Anshi arrived together with the people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
Several Zhang Anshi entered the hall to salute.
Zhu Di glared at these guys, but did not respond coldly.
Zhu Di asked the officials of the Ministry of Punishment who came with him: "Are you sure the money in the treasury is real?"
The hall official who led the team said: "It is true."
Zhu Di said: "How much silver do you have?"
The hall official said truthfully: "Cheng Enbo and the others found an account book in the warehouse. The number on the account book should be similar to the gold and silver in it. There is silver...there is about 1201 million taels of silver."
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderclap, and everyone in the room was shocked.
Even Zhu Di was dumbfounded and couldn't speak for a moment.
At this moment, the hall fell into a deathly silence.
120 taels...
I'm afraid this is beyond the barren imagination of most people in the palace.
Zhu Di's eyes started to turn red.
Then, the tiger's eyes seemed to start to burn hot...fever.
Finally, as if he wanted to confirm again, he said, "How much?"
"One hundred and twenty thousand taels..."
Zhu Di's beard trembled.
He took a deep breath, and then said: "One hundred and twenty thousand taels... One hundred and two million taels... One hundred and two million taels...How did you save it? When I was in the Beiping palace, I cut down on food and clothing, and the emperor gave me ten thousand mu of land. There are also various rewards, as well as the prince's salary, I am afraid that the entire Peking Palace will not eat or drink for several lifetimes, and they will not be able to save so much money..."
"However, a mere common man is still willing to do good things on weekdays, doing things that harm himself and benefit others... He cultivates and studies his family... farming and studying his family... he can save so much money..."
Zhu Di was so surprised that he even started to slur his words.
It's not that Zhu Di has no concentration, but that this matter is too unimaginable and shocking.
Not to mention him, even Xie Jin and the others were already so shocked that their mouths couldn't close their mouths.
Liu Rang was even more horrified, he still didn't believe it, even though he thought it was a trick when the prince gave the report just now, and he still didn't think it was possible for the Ministry of Punishment to check it himself.
"Your Majesty, there is... I'm afraid there is something strange here..." Liu Rang hurriedly said: "I think... I think... this is absurd, 120 million taels is not a treasure, how can there be... how can there be... ..."
In fact, at this time, Liu Rang was still desperately trying to defend himself, but he also started to stutter, because deep down in his heart, he suddenly felt... Could there be a possibility... Could it be true?
The official of the Ministry of Punishment said at this time: "Your Majesty, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't dare to report it like this."
That's right, the emperor sits here. Such a big case has attracted so many people's attention. Who dares to cheat on it, because he thinks he died not fast enough?
Zhu Di closed his eyes, and his slow breathing finally became even.
Immediately, the tiger's eyes opened sharply, but they were fixed on Shen Jing's body.
Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "Come on, if you don't make it clear today, be careful with your skin!"
Shen Jing's face was bleak, he was paralyzed on the ground in fright, speechless for a long time.
"Your Majesty..." Liu Rang really panicked at this moment: "Could it be...someone is trying to frame good people..."
When he spoke, his eyes looked at Zhang Anshi.
Zhang Anshi's face was calm, but his heart was already in love with your mother.
Zhu Di glanced at Liu Rang from the corner of his eye, and said coldly: "Really? The Qing family is going to sue Zhang Anshi for framing his beloved? Liu Rang... you know, false accusers, sit back!"
Liu Rang has always been known for his toughness. People praised him as a straight censor, and he himself took Wei Zheng as a role model. If Zhu Di didn't threaten him, it would be fine, but with such a threat, he would be upright and awe-inspiring.
So he said: "Which one is better and which is worse, no one in the world knows the reputation of Zhang Anshi and the three murderers in the capital, do you still need me to discredit it? But this Shen family... is indeed a great kind person. I don't know how many people admire it. I use my own knowledge , naturally make the above inference.”
At this time...a hoarse voice suddenly said: "Yes... it belongs to my family... it belongs to my family... the grassroots are dead, Your Majesty spares your life."
The one who speaks is silence.
Liu Rang: "..."
Everyone looked at Shen Jing in unison.
Shen Jing's face was ashamed, and at this moment, all thoughts were destroyed.
In fact, he already knew that now that the emperor was in trial, the matter had become serious, and the matter had reached such a level that the Shen family could not hide anything.
If you want to grit your teeth and not let go, you are just making yourself suffer more flesh and blood.
And the emperor in front of him is obviously not a good person. He is usually tolerant to everyone, even if he encounters a few people who push his nose and face, he can bear it, but once he gets angry, he will bleed like a river. A ruthless person who can erase all traces of your entire family in this world.
Zhu Di's spirit lifted at this moment.
"You call yourself a grassroots person, where did the money come from?"
"I... I'm in business... Caomin is in business..." Shen Jing wept.
Zhu Di laughed loudly: "Business, is there such a good business in the world?"
Be silent.
At this moment, Zhu Di seemed calm and relaxed, but what he said next made everyone's scalps tingle.
He calmly said to the eunuchs beside him: "Master Ji Gang quickly, go to Shen's house quickly, and take him, men, women, old and young, and all his fellow clansmen. disposal."
Yi Shiha bowed to promise, and then walked away in short steps.
"..."
Shen Jing only felt that the five thunders were hitting her head, and she was paralyzed all of a sudden, but she didn't know where the strength came from, and suddenly burst into crying: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Caomin... Caomin..."
