I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

Are there not many people in your old Zhu family who have been arrested without evidence for no reason?

Which case is not suspected first, then interrogated, and then convicted.

Don't say anything else, let's just talk about your old man, because he is in a bad mood, the matter of implicating others has gone away.

Your grandfather's father is even more awesome, he still kept it a little bit at the front, but he didn't even find a reason at the back, he killed people when he said he would kill them.

This is all done by your old Zhu family, hmph, it's not just for no reason, it's simply doing whatever you want.

The salary is so low, and you have to risk being beheaded to go to court every day. If it weren't for being an official and having some power to make some money, you wouldn't call our father an official for your old Zhu family.

"Then dare to ask Your Highness, what crime did those children commit to be imprisoned in Jinyiwei Imperial Prison!"

The servant surnamed Liu gritted his teeth, and asked Zhu Zhangui loudly what crime he was using to arrest their child.

Zhu Zhangui didn't make any detours, and said directly.

"Buying and selling silver is a crime, buying and selling imperial currency, despise the emperor, and violate the holy will!"

Zhu Zhangui reported 4 crimes as soon as he opened his mouth, and each one was more serious than the other.

The faces of the people listening below became more and more dignified.

Sure enough.

Knowing the reason, but everyone did not give up.

If you don't struggle a bit, these 4 crimes are settled, and your own bastard can be dragged to Caishikou and beheaded if he just asks.

The first two don't matter, the main reason is that the latter two are too serious, and all of them are charged with beheading.

"Your Highness, you may not know that among the people, because of the depreciation of the precious banknotes, many people don't trust the precious banknotes issued by the imperial court, and instead recognize gold and silver!"

"Exchanging precious banknotes for silver has become the habit of everyone."

"Our nephews didn't have any bad ideas when they spent taels of silver in exchange for the precious banknotes in the hands of the people. They mainly wanted to help those people and save them from losing money because of the depreciation of the precious banknotes in their hands!"

"Money is the lifeblood of the common people. The price of the money in their hands is priced every day. The common people are naturally uneasy and will cause dissatisfaction with the court at any time."

"Our children buy the people's banknotes with silver, in fact, it is for the sake of the court!"

The surname Liu Shilang didn't blush and didn't blink, and directly described the gang of bastards in the family as the children of a good family who cared for the court and the people because of their greed to buy treasures.

Others also agreed one after another, saying that their children really had this idea.

Some even bluntly said that before the child did this, he asked them for advice, and they were so relieved that they agreed to the child to do it.

The main purpose is not to make money or anything, but to help the court solve the problem that the people are worried about the instability of people's hearts caused by the depreciation because of the flood of treasures.

Looking at the faces of the people below, Zhu Zhangui sneered in his heart.

The old saying is true.

An official's mouth, a murderous ghost.

As long as things are beneficial to these guys, the dead can be said to be alive, and the black can be said to be white.

Zhu Zhangui didn't believe that these people didn't know about the imperial court's order to prohibit individuals from purchasing banknotes.

these homes

The purpose of the guy saying this is nothing more than thinking that the children in the family are just a trivial matter of buying a few hundred taels of money.

No matter how unhappy the emperor is, it is impossible to cut off everyone for such a trivial matter of a hundred taels of silver.

In these people's minds, the emperor probably felt that his majesty had been violated if he didn't arrest these brats and warn them because of the imperial edict.

So yesterday, without even asking, he was arrested.

Its purpose is to wait for everyone to bring the steps over, so that they can go down the donkey along the slope. This matter is hello to me, hello to everyone, and it is over.

It's a pity that these guys don't even know how much money those bastards in their family spent to buy precious banknotes in order to earn this money.

If they knew the quantity, they probably wouldn't have said this.

After all, a few hundred taels and tens of thousands of taels are two different concepts.

As for the two crimes of despising the emperor and violating the holy will, in their thinking, it was just the old man who said it to scare people.

If these two charges are true, none of those caught will survive.

No matter how ruthless Zhu Di was, he would not kill all the civil and military sons and nephews of the Manchu dynasty.

Many of these ministers are veterans who followed Zhu Di all the way to the north and south, and many of them are even fighting for the Ming Dynasty in the north.

If Zhu Di is really hard-hearted and handles it mercilessly and seriously, the entire court will definitely be turned upside down.

As a result, those old officials who are loyal to Zhu Di will be alienated from him.

Although the imperial court can change people, it takes time. The newcomers cannot control the whole situation immediately.

In this way, it will take at least two or three years for the imperial court to restore stability.

"What a good one for the country and the people!"

"What a well-known one!"

Zhu Zhangui chuckled and looked at Liu Shilang who was kneeling in the front.

"If I remember correctly, Liu Shilang's son is called Liu Hui!"

"His Royal Highness, Liu Hui is the son of the minister!"

Zhu Zhangui nodded slightly, looked at Liu Shilang and asked.

"Going against the holy will and despising your majesty, let's not mention these two things for now. I want to ask Liu Shilang, do you know how many treasures your son bought!"

Liu Shilang thought about it, estimated how much pocket money his son had, and said:

"Yichen estimated that I should have bought as much as a hundred taels of dog. If there were more, I guess he would not be able to afford the money. After all, his monthly allowance is limited, and my dog ​​is a bit extravagant in spending money. , I don’t think there will be much money left.”

Zhu Zhangui smiled and stopped talking, and looked at another official.

"How much do you think your son can buy?"

"Returning to Your Highness, I guess the minister should be similar to Liu Shilang's son. The minister's family is not rich, so he is very strict about money, at most it is a hundred taels of silver!"

Next, Zhu Zhangui asked one by one, and the replies he got were tens of taels to hundreds of taels, and the most was two to 300 taels of silver.

"You guys are really rich, you can give your children so much pocket money!"

After asking about it, Zhu Zhangui teased with a chuckle.

The people below were embarrassed for a while.

Just now I was only thinking about how much money my child had, and ignored other issues for a while.

But everyone was thick-skinned enough to pretend they didn't hear this sentence.

What happened to the child with so much pocket money?

These are all accumulated by children from childhood to adulthood, year after year.

Is it more than a hundred and ten taels of silver saved by the children of officials and eunuchs in more than ten years?

Zhu Zhangui didn't ask too much about this matter, how many clean ones are there under the official's buttocks?

If we really have to check them one by one, at least [-]% of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty will be wiped out, and the remaining [-]% are either really clean, or they have just come up and have not had a chance to make money.

"It seems that you still don't care enough about your children, otherwise you wouldn't report these numbers!"

Zhu Zhangui got up slowly with the support of the little eunuch beside him,

Picking up a stack of papers on the table next to the old man's dragon chair, he walked down the steps and stood in front of the officials.

"Liu Shilang, this belongs to your son, you can see for yourself."

Zhu Zhangui took out one and handed it to Liu Shilang who was kneeling in front of him, and at the same time kindly reminded him.

"I advise you to be mentally prepared, otherwise, after you read it, you may just pass it with anger!"

Liu Shilang felt uneasy when he heard the words, and glanced at Zhu Zhangui, who asked the eunuch to distribute papers to others, his heart slowly lifted, he swallowed and looked down at the paper in his hand.

This is a bank loan statement with his son's name and home address on it, as well as his name and official position.

Below these, there are five paragraphs.

Liu Hui, the son of Liu Shilang of the imperial court, used his father's identity as collateral to borrow [-] taels from the bank on a certain day of a certain year.

Liu Hui, the son of Liu Shilang of the imperial court, took a loan of [-] taels from the bank on a certain day of a certain year with the double phoenix jade pendant, the heirloom of the Liu family, as collateral.

The latter three are to take the property of the Liu family, the real estate of the Liu family, and the shop of the Liu family as collateral, and borrow three more [-] taels of money.

A total of exactly 10 taels!

Liu Shilang's eyes widened. Looking at the final count of 10 taels, his eyeballs turned red.

Rebellious son, rebellious son.

10 taels of silver, it's not worth so much money if the whole family is sold.

Looking at Liu Shilang, whose eyes were red and his body was swaying, and his knees were unstable, Zhu Zhangui felt a little sympathetic.

Although it is said that the magistrate was cleared for three years, one hundred thousand snowflakes.

But this is just talking.

In the entire officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, there are not many families who can spend 10 taels of silver.

This time he lost 10 taels of silver all of a sudden, and his mentality was so bad that he might be able to die of anger directly.

"Your Highness, please tell me that this is not true." Liu Shilang, whose hands were shaking like chaff, looked up at Zhu Zhangui standing in front of him with red eyes.

Zhu Zhangui spread his hands regretfully.

"Although I sympathize with what happened to you, every account above is true, and the bank has kept it, as well as your son's signature and the jade pendant."

"If you don't believe me, you can check it at any time. If there is even a little bit of fraud, I will take no money from it!"

"thump!"

Liu Shilang suddenly collapsed to the ground.

He couldn't believe that that rebellious son of his family dared to take on so many foreign debts outside.

But what if he doesn't believe it?

Zhu Zhangui dared to take out the IOU, and he would never fake it.

A majestic grandson of a country would not do such indecent things.

"Your Highness, can I ask you one thing?"

After being paralyzed on the ground for a while, Liu Shilang got up and kowtowed hard to Zhu Zhangui.

"Please tell me, as long as I don't violate the laws of the court, I will definitely help if I can!"

Liu Shilang gritted his teeth, suppressed the overwhelming anger in his heart, and said quickly: "I want to go and see that bastard!"

"Your Highness, the minister is going too!"

Before Zhu Zhangui agreed, other ministers who were also looking at the IOUs of their sons and nephews also made the same request.

Zhu Zhangui looked around, gave them a look that I could understand, waved his hand and said.

"Let's deal with the housework first, and everyone will come over in the afternoon, and we will discuss how to deal with this matter next!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will take my leave!"

Liu Shilang and others saluted, then turned around and walked out of the hall angrily.

"By the way, let me tell you again!"

When the group was about to leave the hall, Zhu Zhangui's voice sounded leisurely.

"Although some things are well known and have become unspoken rules, for the royal family, this is actually a provocation."

"You should still remember the empty printing case!"

As soon as this remark came out, both those who were about to leave the door and the ministers in the palace shivered in unison.

Zhu Zhangui nodded slightly to the crowd, "Okay, let's go back and do our own business first, and come over to discuss in the afternoon."

"Your Majesty, please leave!"

The people who were still shocked by the empty printing case saluted and bid farewell with pale faces.

"Dang it, dang it, dang it..."
