my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 83: Chapter 83: All of the Clans
On the contrary, Zhu Di looked amicable at this time, and said with a smile: "You don't have to rush to say it, and I'm not in a hurry, just cry."

The quiet crying stopped abruptly.

It's like a person returning to the light, at this moment of silence, unexpectedly calm down.

He enunciated clearly: "What I'm doing... is the business of reselling grain."

Zhu Di remained silent.

Grain merchants... Obviously it is not a serious crime, after all, there is no such thing as prohibiting the sale of grain in the king's law.

Shen Jing continued: "Often when a disaster occurs somewhere, the grassroots... the grassroots will use the relationship..."

Zhu Di asked curiously, "What's the relationship?"

"Caomin is an aristocratic family in the south of the Yangtze River, and they have quite some roots. The relationship between classmates, teachers and students... from the same hometown... can be used."

Zhu Di showed a cold look on his face, but he didn't say anything.

So Shen Jing continued: "After finding a relationship and making an agreement with the local people, a large amount of grain will be sent to the affected prefectures and counties, and the price will be ten times or a hundred times... sold..."

As soon as this remark came out, there was only a muffled sound, and Liu Rang fell headlong.

Liu Rang fell heavily to the ground, and then regained consciousness, so he quickly got up again, and immediately said: "No, no, transporting food to the disaster area is by no means a serious crime, it is to alleviate the disaster... There is nothing wrong with it."

He was in a hurry.

Zhu Di still smiled without saying a word.

Shen Jing had a mournful face, like a dead mother.

For him, it is better to say it later than to say it sooner, because there is no way to hide it.

With a sad face, he said truthfully: "If you want to sell ten times or a hundred times more food, you must ensure that the victims are short of food. If there is no shortage of food, how can you sell it at such a high price?"

"So it is often necessary to bribe people and ban other food ships, and the court's disaster relief food must be delayed as much as possible. The delayed relief food can also be included in other losses."

Zhu Di's expression changed suddenly, and his elbow resting on the case couldn't help shaking.

I saw Shen Jing continued: "Only when people are hungry and people around them starve to death, those desperate people will willingly take out their own family assets, and will rush to take out the last copper coin in the family to buy food, and starve to death first." Those who have no money will starve to death from now on, and those who have little money will starve to death, and then..."

Liu Rang's body was like a sieve, and his eyes were red, but he was completely impatient.

I saw Liu Rang shaking his hands, pointing at Shen Jing and yelling: "What nonsense are you talking about, what nonsense are you talking about, do you know the consequences of your nonsense? Do you have any grievances? Did someone force you to say this... ..."

Shen Jing is prostrate on the ground. He is actually very calm at this time, and it is impossible to be calm. How many people in the family can die depends on him now.

He suppressed the fear in his heart, kowtowed like garlic and said: "Liu Rang... I know that he has been with people from the Ministry of Punishment before, and he also talked about old feelings with me. My great-grandfather was a classmate. At that time, we drank water and wine, and after a few glasses of wine, he claimed that I was innocent and would seek justice for me. He also said...he will definitely impeach Zhang An and others..."

Liu Rang staggered and took two steps back. He looked at Shen Jing in disbelief.

After hearing Shen Jing's words, Zhu Di laughed, but said, "With this, you earned 120 million taels of silver?"

Zhu Di doesn't care what Liu Rang said anymore, he just wants to know what he wants to know now.

Shen Jing can be said to be extremely honest now, he tremblingly said: "There are other businesses too, this is a business that has been managed for generations..."

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said, "Did Emperor Taizu have it?"

Shen Jing said truthfully: "At that time, I was very careful, but... when my father was around, I did do some things."

Zhu Di was curious about one thing, so he said, "But why do people from all over the country call you a good person?"

Shen Jing said: "Caomin... did build bridges and roads, and built a few schools, which helped many scholars. If there are bones and remains that no one picks up within a radius of ten miles, they will teach people to clean them up and send them to charity. Zhuang's burial..."

Zhu Di said: "I never thought that you are really kind?"

Shen Jing tremblingly said: "People who do such things have kind hearts, otherwise they won't be able to sleep well every day..."

Hearing this, Zhu Di finally stood up again, looked around, and said, "You are all here today, what do you say?"

The truth came out and the truth came out.

At this time, Zhu Di's eyes fell on a person, and said, "Zhang Anshi."

Zhang Anshi stepped forward and said, "The minister is here."

Zhu Di said, "Tell me, why did you blow up Shenjiazhuang in the first place?"

Zhang Anshi said hesitantly, "Truth or lie?"

Zhu Di only uttered two words: "Truth."

Zhang Anshidao: "The thing is like this, I actually inquired about some things about the Shen family at the shipping company, but there is no evidence. It's just that I feel that the matter is important, so I quickly reported to my brother-in-law..."

Zhu Gaochi was taken aback, and looked at Zhang Anshi in surprise.

Zhang Anshi continued: "My brother-in-law was also very worried when he heard about it. I'm afraid it won't be easy to investigate. The Shen family has been in business for so long and hasn't been exposed. How could they find out easily? It's just a matter of great importance, so we can only If you do something extraordinary, then... just make it big, the bigger the trouble, the better, the bigger the trouble, the more people will pay attention!"

"So... I dared to blow up the Shen family's Zhuangzi directly. Of course, Zhu Yong, Zhang Fu, and Qiu Song also contributed to this, and they worked tirelessly..."

Hearing this, Zhu Di waved his hands: "Okay, I know what's going on."

Immediately, Zhu Di's eyes fell on Liu Rang: "Zhang Anshi said, he did this because he knew that you people would be vegetarians, and that you would protect the Shen family. It seems that you didn't disappoint Zhang Anshi. You really are such a person. "

This is full of irony!
Liu Rang's face was ashen, but he couldn't argue anymore, Qiqi Aiai said: "It's the minister's negligence... Please punish the minister's crime of negligence..."

Seeing that Zhu Di was furious, he suddenly picked up the pencil holder on the public case and threw it at Liu Rang.

Snapped……

The stone pen holder was impartial, and hit Liu Rang's cheek. Liu Rang was in pain, covered his face, and let out a scream, and soon his cheek was swollen.

Zhu Di gritted his teeth and said: "Is it just negligence? It's just your so-called negligence, how many people have been killed? Because of your negligence, the government's food relief, instead of saving people, has enriched countless officials."

"Didn't you always talk about justice? Don't you always talk about the world? At this time, you actually told me that you were negligent? If someone else, maybe you could be negligent, but your mouth is full of sages People, how can they be worthy of the word negligent!"

Liu Rang was terrified, and hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground, covered his face and said, "Chen...Chen..."

Before he could say anything further, Zhu Di said coldly: "It seems that you still don't know how to repent. It can be seen that the tragic situation of the victims is nothing to you! That's fine, come here, arrest Liu's family, etc., go up and down Young and old, the men were exiled to Qiongzhou as military slaves, and the women served as the priests of the Jiaofang, let his whole family taste the hardships of ordinary people, and teach them that they will not be able to get over from life to life!"

After Liu Rang heard this, he shuddered violently, and said anxiously, "Why did your majesty harm your wife and children for this minister's crime?"

Zhu Di's expression remained unchanged and he said: "When you were prosperous, didn't your wife and children also follow you? How many people have been killed because of your so-called negligence, not to mention if I believed your evil words, how many people would this An Shi look like?" Aren't you also victimized by your false accusation?"

"You only think that your family has suffered innocent disasters, why don't you think about it, because there are dog-like people like you, how many people will suffer?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Di didn't want to spend any more time with such a person, and ordered in a deep voice: "Come here, take it down, don't rush to kill this person, first send him to the imperial prison and punish him slowly."

After listening to Liu Rang, he felt that his head was a little dizzy. He wanted to say forgiveness, but before he could say anything, he was unceremoniously dragged out.

There was no sound in the hall.

Zhu Di said again: "As for Shen Jing... I think he is quite honest, he has done some good deeds on weekdays, and he has confessed to his guilt, so... let's deal with it lightly."

Zhu Di paused for a moment, then said: "Don't destroy his three clans, just punish his whole family, young and old, he himself... Ling Chi!"

When Shen Jing heard this, her face was so pale that there was no blood in it, and she fell down, and she was unconscious.

Zhu Di deliberately added another sentence: "Search his house, not a single copper coin can be missed."

…………

In fact, Zhu Di was very angry.

What made him angry was that someone dared to do such things under his nose.

What's even more frightening is that the Shen family has been doing this for so many years, and he only found out now.

If it wasn't for the huge disturbance this time, I'm afraid he would be kept in the dark for the rest of his life.

Unfortunately, he hasn't spent all his time thinking about how to help, but it turns out that all his efforts are useless!
There is only one Shen family, and all the means he used to help him have been defeated.

It is tolerable and unbearable.

However, Yishiha knew that the more angry Zhu Di became, he was calm on the surface, but at this time, he was often silent, and occasionally the corner of his mouth twitched, but most of the time he kept his face blank.

If you sum it up more carefully, it is probably that if His Majesty is suddenly polite to him, even if he pours a cup of tea for His Majesty, and His Majesty says it's hard work, then His Majesty must have wanted to kill someone.

And if His Majesty talked about other people's mothers, getting one today and another tomorrow, it doesn't mean that His Majesty is in a good mood, at least when he is by his side, he doesn't worry, which means His Majesty is in a good mood.

Now Yishiha poured a cup of tea and served it carefully.

Zhu Di had already driven back to the palace at this time, sat in the newly renovated Wenlou, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said to Chao Yishi: "You have worked hard."

Yi Shiha's heart was raised immediately, and he hurriedly said cautiously: "Slave...it should be."

Zhu Di put down the teacup, but said, "What are Zhang Anshi doing?"

Yi Shiha said cautiously: "Why don't you ask this servant?"

Zhu Di nodded.

Yishiha hurried out of the Wenlou, waited for half an hour, and came back panting, saying: "Your Majesty, Jinyiwei's place... Hurry up and report that Zhang Anshi brought Zhu Yong, Zhang Fu, and Qiu Song three People, since the imperial trial, they have rolled up their bedding and want to live in the warehouse of Qixia Temple."

"Ah..." Zhu Di had just picked up the teacup. When he heard this, he looked surprised, and the tea splashed out with a shake of his hand. Fortunately, it was the tea served by Yi Shiha half an hour ago, and it was already cold. up.

But Yi Shiha's expression changed, and he hurriedly said in fear and trepidation: "Your servant will die."

After all, I have to go forward and wipe Zhu Di.

Zhu Di waved his hands indifferently, and said, "What are they going to do?"

Yishiha said truthfully, "Someone asked, and many people asked, first Wucheng Bingmasi, then Yingtianfu, and Beizhen Fusi... They said...there is no one in this warehouse. Let them in and out, saying that this is stolen goods for confiscation, they are not at ease who will confiscate, the outsiders are all bad, and they say that no one is allowed to enter or exit this warehouse except His Majesty."

Zhu Di: "..."

This made Zhu Di a little bit messed up.

But after a while, Zhu Di couldn't help but said: "Damn it, these guys... do such inappropriate things all day long."

When Yi Shiha heard this, he knew that His Majesty's mood had improved a lot, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said while the iron was hot: "Although they are ignorant, they are sincere..."

"Of course it's sincere." Zhu Di said, "That Zhang Anshi, apart from his love of messing around and spreading rumors, everything else is fine."

After speaking, Zhu Di stood up, took a few steps, and said again: "Damn, if you let them keep guarding like this, how will Yousi search? It's not an option if you keep going like this."

Yi Shiha said: "How about, His Majesty orders a person with confidence..."

Zhu Di said: "Forget it, I want to go there myself."

Zhu Di is like an eagle, he does not want to be trapped in the palace. In his heart, the palace is like a big cage.

Just do it.

Zhu Di traveled lightly, with only a team of guards, and first boarded the boat at the wharf of Confucius Temple.

The ships here are almost all flying the black flag now.

It's just that when I was about to board the boat, I was driven off by the boatman: "Go buy a ticket, go buy a ticket, and board the boat with the ticket."

Zhu Di was speechless for a while, and turned to look at the guards.

The guard was startled, and hurriedly followed the boatman's order and went to a small building on the pier.

Immediately afterwards, a dozen tickets were brought.

This ticket is pretty decent, the size of a thumb, and the serial number is written on it.

Zhu Di frowned: "If you just pay, you'll be fine, and you'll have to deal with these vain people."

The guard who bought the ticket had no choice but to say in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I went down and asked about it. He said that the money and the ticket have to be separated, and the boatman can't pass the money in his hand. The purpose is to prevent the boatman from being greedy and intercepting it. So the ticket seller collects the money, and the boatman Tickets are collected here, and based on the number of tickets sold, the passengers who board the ship can be calculated, so...you don’t have to worry about someone messing around and embezzling the shipping company’s money.”

After hearing the guard's words, Zhu Di thought about it carefully, then looked down at the ticket number on his hand, his eyes lit up.

So he couldn't help saying: "Interesting, interesting, I didn't think of this level, the person who can come up with this idea, I really want to saw his head open to see."

The guard said: "Your Majesty, I heard that this is a business from Marquis Wu'an..."

Zhu Di just smiled and said nothing, took the ticket number, and boarded the boat.

Wait for the boat to arrive at the ferry of Qixia Temple.

Zhu Di went ashore a few times, and then came to the warehouse not far away.

From a distance... I saw three teenagers guarding outside the warehouse.

Zhu Yong was holding a mace, walking back and forth as if showing off his power, watching everyone who wanted to get close with his eyes vigilantly.

In Zhang Fu's hand was a knife, as if he was extremely bored, he was playing with the knife at this time, vigorously.

Only Qiu Song stood there, motionless, like a wooden stake.

But if you look carefully, you will find that Qiu Song's lethality is actually the greatest.

Uh... Around his neck, there is a string of explosive packets hanging. Of course, they are not explosive packets as big as a millstone, but probably as big as a plate.

Zhu Di saw it, and thought he was a good guy.

So much so that Zhu Di stopped and didn't dare to approach him for a while.

That kid was a bit stupid, and even Zhu Di didn't guarantee that this guy would overreact when he saw someone suddenly.

So it's better if the prophet speaks.

I also lost my understanding, so I hurried up to tell you.

When the three teenagers heard the news, their first reaction was not to come to see you, but to scream, "Big Brother, Big Brother... Your Majesty is coming, Your Majesty is coming..."

Zhu Di couldn't help being speechless, I came here in a humble way, what the hell is your name.

So he couldn't bear it anymore and strode forward.

Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu tugged Qiu Song, and then came to see him.

"See Your Majesty."

Zhu Di glared at them: "What are you doing here?"

Zhu Yong said: "Guard the warehouse."

Zhu Di said, "Are you free and doing something?"

Zhang Fu first said straightforwardly: "It's not just that I have nothing to do."

After speaking, Zhang Fu felt that he had made a slip of the tongue, and immediately fell silent again.

Zhu Di had just met these three guys and had just felt a little warmth in his heart, but at this moment it was gone.

For some reason, after seeing these three guys, I feel itchy and want to beat them up.

Zhu Di said with a sullen face: "I ordered you to study at Hu Qing's house, why don't you go?"

At this time, Qiu Song proudly said, "Master Hu said that we have already graduated, and there is no one in the world who is more knowledgeable than us."

Zhu Di gritted his back teeth, and finally forced a smile: "Where is Zhang Anshi?"

"Brother?" Zhu Yong seemed to be afraid that other people would say something wrong, and immediately rushed to answer: "Brother is studying in the warehouse. The elder brother said, no, the elder brother is serious about studying. He taught us that although he has learned something , but you can’t be complacent, learning is your own business, as the saying goes, there is no limit to learning and hard work..."

Zhu Di stared: "Go away."

"Oh." Zhu Yong wittily held up the mace and let him out.

Zhu Di walked to the warehouse with big strides, and Yi Shiha trotted to open the door.

When Zhu Di entered the warehouse, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Anyone who enters here and sees so much gold and silver will definitely be shocked, even Zhu Di... is no exception.

Especially at this time, a few oil lamps were lit in the warehouse.

The light from the oil lamp refracted on the metal that filled the warehouse, making the gold and silver here shine brightly, so dazzling that Zhu Di couldn't take his eyes off.

"Damn the Shen family!" Zhu Di couldn't help scolding in his heart.

But immediately, Zhu Di suddenly felt very at ease.

Because... the money seems to belong to him.

Zhu Di tried his best to move his eyes away from the gold and silver, and then he saw a young man leaning against the oil lamp, holding a book in his hand, sitting upright, his eyes were concentrating on the book, and he was completely motionless.

Under the reflection of the gold and silver, the young man showed his side face radiantly, with sword-brows and star-eyed eyes, handsome and handsome, giving people a sense of nobility and tsinghua.

Zhu Di lost his mind for a moment.

Immediately... couldn't help cursing: "Stop pretending, you think I don't know what kind of person you Zhang Anshi is."

Zhang Anshi: "..."

He closed the book, turned around, and looked surprised: "Ah, why is your majesty here? I can't go far to meet your majesty. It's really dead."

Although it was punctured.

However, acting in a full set is the self-cultivation of an actor. Even at this time, Zhang Anshi still abides by his professional ethics.

Zhang Anshi put down his book and hurried to see him.

Zhu Di squinted at him, but remained silent.

Zhang Anshi was not embarrassed, he said: "Your Majesty, I am indeed reading a book."

"Ah."

"I feel that reading is very useful. Reading can make you understand, and reading can make you clear..."

"Oh."

"Is Your Majesty feeling unwell, or... I will help you to see."

With a big wave of his hand, Zhu Di stepped to the place where Zhang Anshi had just been seated and sat down. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that there were indeed four bedding rolled up in the corner of the warehouse. Then he looked at the desk, and it turned out to be a piece of "Spring and Autumn".

Zhu Di said: "Do you still look at the Spring and Autumn Period?"

This is obviously unbelievable.

Zhang Anshi said: "Just take a look."

Zhu Di did not continue this topic, but pointed to the gold and silver in the warehouse: "Is this the gold and silver that I want to confiscate?"

"Exactly." Zhang Anshi said: "The gold and silver haven't decreased at all. I'm letting Your Majesty watch over here. I'm afraid that someone will make up my mind. People nowadays are too bad. I'm thinking, I'm a brother... No, if you are relatives, if your Majesty is not here to watch over you, your Majesty may not be at ease in the palace."

Zhu Di's face softened a lot, and he became easy-going, and said, "Come on, sit down and talk."

"Oh." Zhang Anshi was not polite, so he moved a small box and sat down.

At this time, Zhu Dichao also winked at Shiha.

I also lost my understanding, and hurriedly quit.

The oil lamp illuminated Zhu Di's gradually frowning face, and Zhu Di said worriedly: "How did you know about the Shen family, to be honest?"

Now that Zhu Di asked this question, Zhang Anshi did not dare to hide it at this time, and said: "Your Majesty, Brother Shipping now has a thousand ships and 700 boatmen, and has opened up more than 70 ferries. These ferries are all over Nanjing. , Yangzhou, Suzhou, Songjiang, and Zhenjiang can be said to cover half of Jiangdong."

Zhang Anshi paused, and then continued: "There are no less than 10 merchants and passengers that are transported every day. There are so many people traveling from south to north, and there are too many people talking! The disadvantages of this person talking too much, but It is also good for people to talk too much. Some news...the minister will be more informed. Especially when it comes to business matters, where the price of gauze has risen a little, and where the business is not easy to do, you probably know a little bit."

Zhu Di was taken aback for a moment, then showed surprise, and couldn't help saying: "Unexpectedly, this shipping has such an effect."

Thinking about it carefully, Zhu Di also understood that Zhang Anshi's words were true, so he said with emotion: "In this way, there is another advantage in this shipping industry. If it wasn't for you, a person like Shen Jing would still get away with it When."

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "It's his bad luck, he happened to bump into me. Of course, it's also because of your majesty's great luck. If not... the minister wouldn't have noticed."

Zhu Di didn't bother to correct Zhang Anshi's nonsense, but said with emotion: "It's just that I didn't even think that they would have such courage."

Zhang Anshidao: "Your Majesty... people have greed. For the sake of huge profits, there will always be people who trample on discipline and national laws. Even when Emperor Taizu Gao was here, he was so strict and could not sweep away these insects, so Your Majesty does not need to blame himself .”

Zhu Di said: "That's what I said, but my mother can't swallow it. But luckily I discovered it early. If not, wouldn't these gold and silver have fallen into their pockets? Anyway, this time you are Great job."

Zhang Anshi hurriedly said: "I have no credit for this. In fact, it is Zhu Yong and the others who really contributed. They have tried their best this time, and even the minister admires them."

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then I will reward you both."

Zhang Anshi's heart was naturally elated, and he said happily: "My minister..."

It's just that he hasn't finished talking.

Zhu Di quickly said: "I will give you 1 taels of silver, and Zhu Yong, Zhang Fu, and Qiu Song will give you 5000 taels of silver."

Zhang Anshi: "..."

Zhu Di said, "Why, are you not satisfied?"

Zhang Anshi shook his head: "I don't dare, it's just that I think... Your Majesty should take the money to help the people. There is no shortage of money for the time being."

Zhu Di said angrily, "If you decline the reward, you are dissatisfied with my reward."

Zhang Anshi shook his head like a rattle drum: "No, no, I definitely don't mean that."

Zhu Di stood up solemnly, walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and said: "However... I really should reward you well. I originally thought that you are still young, so you will inevitably be proud of being favored, but after going through this Once, I think you are very sensible."

Zhu Di paused, obviously a little uncertain, and said in his mouth: "What should I reward you for?"

Zhang Anshi was already happy in his heart, but he still had to put on a humble look when he should be modest, so he said respectfully on his face: "Your Majesty is too polite, I, Zhang Anshi, have no other skills. There are still many, or His Majesty will not reward you."

Zhu Di stared at him, as if guessing in his heart, how much of what this guy said was true and how much was false.

It was Zhang Anshi who said abruptly: "By the way, Your Majesty, here are the accounts of the Shen family that were searched out. Not only is there gold and silver in this warehouse, but... there are also several warehouses that store the grain that they plan to sell at a high price. ...and some real estate, please take a look at it first..."

Zhu Di immediately cheered up: "Bring it to me to have a look, and then I will reward you for your merits."

Hearing that there was still food, Zhu Di's eyes lit up.
