Chongzhen Chat Group

Wen Tiren turned his head and looked outside the door. He could see the figures of his two followers. They should be standing guard at the door, no problem.

Feeling a little more relieved, he turned back and whispered to Ruhua: "Ma Fugui's family has connections with Shanxi merchants. You go and lie, no matter what means you use, to find out as much as possible about Shanxi merchants."

"Ah?" Ruhua didn't expect that what Wen Tiren told her was such a thing, and she couldn't help but exclaimed. Then she immediately remembered not to attract other people's attention, and quickly covered her lips with her jade hands. The shock on her face remained, and she asked a little doubtfully He said: "Master Wen, this...are you trying to deal with Shanxi merchants or are you trying to build relationships with Shanxi merchants?"

After asking, she immediately came to the conclusion. Because if Wen Tiren wanted to establish a relationship with Shanxi merchants, there was no need to go through her to achieve his goal.

When she thought about it, her expression suddenly changed. Since ancient times, this man's gentle hometown has always been a well-informed place, and therefore, Ruhua knows more than the average person.

She immediately said worriedly: "Master Wen, this... this seems too dangerous, right? Even if you are the Minister of Rites..."

Wen Tiren also had a serious expression on his face and corrected Ruhua's words: "This morning at the court meeting, the emperor has appointed me as the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Ah?" Ruhua was surprised again, but after she recovered, she still had a worried look on her face and said, "Master Wen, even if you are the chief assistant, if you want to deal with Shanxi merchants, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."

"I understand!" Wen Tiren nodded solemnly, "I know it well. I don't fight unprepared battles. You don't have to worry about other things. You just need to learn from Ma Fugui's words."

Ruhua was a little hesitant. The Shanxi merchants were already huge and could not be touched by ordinary people. Even though Wen Tiren was the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, she was not optimistic about him.

However, Wen Tiren has already approached him, and if he doesn't agree, he won't be able to do it. Ruhua thought so and couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart. She saw Wen Tiren staring at her and said helplessly: "You have your orders, and I must obey them!"

After finishing speaking, she thought that fortunately, just talking in that mysterious chat group could reduce a lot of risks.

Thinking of this, Ruhua's face looked better, but she immediately thought of what if Ma Fugui sent someone to the capital? The risk is also very high! Thinking of this, her face became a little ugly again.

Wen Tiren kept staring at Ruhua and saw the change in her face. With his ability to observe words and expressions, he didn't know what she was worried about, so he spoke in a low voice: "Ma Fugui's house will be ransacked within nine days. His house over there will be ransacked." If nothing happens, you don’t have to worry.”

Upon hearing this, Ruhua opened her mouth wide in surprise again, and asked incredulously: "Is it because he offended...the little monk...to save all sentient beings?"

"It has a certain relationship!" Wen Tiren nodded, "But more importantly, he himself revealed the violations of law and discipline."

When Ruhua heard this, her mind turned back, thinking that since Ma Fugui would be caught, her risk was very small. Thinking of this, she finally dropped a stone.

After relaxing in this way, curiosity immediately took over her mood again, and she couldn't help but ask Wen Tiren: "Master Wen, who is that person who saves all sentient beings? Is he your nephew?"

Wen Tiren could tell that she would do her best, so he stood up. When he heard her question, he shook his head and said, "No, you don't need to ask who he is. When the opportunity comes, you will naturally know who he is!"

After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave. After taking two steps, he finally stopped and turned around. With a mysterious smile (at least in Ruhua's view), he said to Ruhua: "Listen to him. , it will be of great benefit to you.”

After the reminder, he stopped lingering, opened the door, and hurried away under the escort of his entourage.

After a while, the madam came in and found Ruhua stunned there. She couldn't help but asked: "Are you stupid? Your distinguished guest..."

Just when she asked this, she suddenly found a silver ingot on the coffee table. She didn't care about asking anymore, and hurried over to get it before talking.

Ruhua didn't care at all about the madam's money-grabbing behavior, but her mind was filled with doubts: Who is the young monk? So mysterious!

In her mind, she subconsciously regarded Purdue All Beings as a monk. Therefore, no matter how much she thought, she could not think of the Ming Emperor, so she could only guess!

At the same time, in the Han Mansion, the former Chief Assistant of the Ming Dynasty, Han Xu was restless in his study. He didn't pay much attention to the shouts of killing just outside the city. For him, he was more concerned about the great court meeting. I wonder if he could be reinstated as he wished?

At this time, he was quite regretful. Threatening the emperor with resignation is really a double-edged sword. It may force the emperor to compromise, or he may actually resign and return home! Be sure to check it carefully next time, otherwise it’s better to think of another way!

Han Xu was thinking when suddenly there were rapid footsteps outside the door. When he looked up, he heard a knock on the door. He was obviously very anxious: "Master, Butler Cao is here!"

"Please come in quickly!" Han Xu quickly ordered after hearing this.

As the door was pushed open, a cold wind blew in, making Han Xu feel cold all over. But he didn't care at all, he just looked at the man and asked: "Butler Cao, how do you do?"

Butler Cao, who was about the same age as Han Xu, gasped and replied: "My master said that the emperor behaves like a wild horse, unpredictable, and unable to act according to plan..."

"How could this happen?" Han Xu was very disappointed when he heard this. He frowned and was a little angry: "I made so many arrangements yesterday and spent so much money, but it's all useless?"

"My master said that the emperor has no chance at all. The emperor is so poor that he only focuses on money!" Butler Cao explained patiently, and then gave an overview of the general situation of the court meeting.

Finally, Butler Cao showed a calm demeanor and said: "My master said that the emperor is still too impatient. Even if he appoints Wen Tiren as his chief assistant, he wants to imitate the Song Dynasty in collecting business taxes and wait until the people change!"

When Han Xu heard that Wen Tiren had become the chief minister and recommended cabinet ministers to the emperor, he felt resentful in his heart. But after hearing this, he suddenly stopped being anxious and said with a smile: "It seems that the emperor is still the same as before." Your Majesty, your young and impetuous temperament has not changed. That’s good. When you get a bloody blow, you will know that it is better for your ministers to be steady!"

At this point, the two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

If commercial taxes were to be easily collected, would Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Household Affairs, not mention the collection of commercial taxes? If you really think everyone is a fool, would you not have thought of this?

At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and then a person whispered at the door: "Master, the guy from Yongchang Bank came to report that the shopkeeper is missing!"

Thanks to Xiaoyuan for the reward!
