Obtain the divine power at the beginning

After a heavy rain, a cool breeze blew.

The weather is cold and my heart is cold.

Along with Gao Yingqiang, Peng Jinshi and Jiang Xiao were also following the sneaky Xu Li and Wang Chao.

After eavesdropping on the news, Peng Jinshi asked Jiang Xiao to cover up for him for a while, saying that Peng Jinshi had a stomachache, to avoid Wang Chao from removing him from the list. He still had to continue to lurk in the Fucheng government office, so that he could better understand some of the situations in the Ming court, and he didn't want to be removed from the list by Wang Chao. From the situation where Wang Chao angrily scolded Liu Cong in public just now, it can be seen that Wang Chao is not a good person at all, and he will be very vicious when he makes trouble for people.

Jiang Xiao nodded in agreement, and also hoped that Yao Luyang and other Yin merchants would quickly learn of the news, and those who should leave Fucheng should leave Fucheng as soon as possible. He also said that he believed that Lord Shi would not fall, and hoped that the merchants would not be discouraged, but wait patiently for opportunities to make a comeback.

Next, the dynasty might strictly prohibit the development of industry and commerce in accordance with the terms and regulations of the New Ming Dynasty Law, focus on slash-and-burn farming, and restore the era of poverty. Jiang Xiao and Peng Jinshi hid and discussed secretly for a while.

Later, Peng Jinshi quickly returned to the huge Yao Mansion on the west bank of Xiaocheng District, woke everyone up, and told them what had happened to Shi Tianyu.

~~

Yao Chaohai and Xun Jinchi had just returned to Fucheng from Pingting County to visit their families in the evening. When they heard that Shi Tianyu had been suspended from his post and was going to Beijing for investigation, they felt cold in their hearts. When they heard Xu Li say that he would thoroughly investigate the death of Ling Feng, Yao Chaohai suddenly felt that his career prospects had disappeared in an instant. How could this dandy boy have the patience to wait for a comeback? Now it felt like the sky was about to fall.

Yao Luyang quickly ordered Yao Chaohai and Xun Jinchi to send people to find Zhuo Shicai, Yan Linshi and other Yin businessmen to discuss the matter in secret.

Because the Fucheng government's vigorous development of industry and commerce was indeed in violation of the newly revised Ming Dynasty laws, it meant that wealthy merchant families such as the Yao family, the Zhuo family, and the Yan family could no longer stay in Fucheng to do business and had to flee quickly to avoid being liquidated and massacred by the dynasty.

~~

Tang Meiling ran into the hall at this time, and seeing the situation, Yao Luyang, who looked worried, asked anxiously, "Dad, what happened?"

Yao Chaohai sadly recounted the situation: "Ma Zhifu retired and returned home, and Brother Shi also had an accident."

Peng Jinshi then took the lead and narrated the whole process.

Upon hearing this, Tang Meiling was horrified and said, "Are all the officials of the Ming Dynasty court crazy? How can they treat an honest official like this? Didn't the dog emperor once visit Fucheng in disguise? Can't he see that Fucheng is becoming more and more prosperous? How can they treat my husband Shi like this?" Her words were very indignant.

However, he was extremely happy in his heart. He wished it would happen and that the Ming Dynasty would be in chaos.

Internal strife is like internal injury. Internal injury is difficult to cure, and internal strife is even more difficult to clean up.

I hope the internal injuries to the Ming Dynasty court are as serious as possible.

In this way, the Jin soldiers could attack Shanhaiguan as soon as possible, march into the Central Plains, and compete for the world.

~~

Peng Jinshi added: "The imperial edict stated that Lord Shi was suspended from his post and temporarily detained in Kyoto for investigation. It did not mention anything else, nor did it remove Lord Shi from his other positions. It seems that this matter is still a bit suspenseful.

Next, Lord Shi may make a comeback.

However, for the time being, the merchants in Fucheng will be in danger.

Xu Li also told the new prefect Wang Chao that he would thoroughly investigate the unclear case of Ling Feng's death, and said that this matter must be related to Lord Shi.

After Lord Shi leaves Fucheng, Xu Li and Wang Chao will definitely punish all those close to Lord Shi to death. In particular, they will strictly prohibit the development of industry and commerce in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, focus on slash-and-burn farming, and strive to restore the poverty-stricken era.

All in all, the current situation is the most unfavorable to us merchants."

~~

Yao Luyang nodded, and quickly turned to Yao Chaohai and said, "Hai'er, you and Uncle Lin take the servants to pack up all the valuables and load them into the carriage, and transport them to Kyoto to buy a big house. Anyway, we have already invested in the Yujing Chain Bank, so even if we don't do any business in the future, we will have food to eat and money to spend. Go quickly. As soon as the city gate opens tomorrow, leave the city immediately."

After saying that, he took out a large stack of banknotes and stuffed them into Yao Chaohai's hands.

~~

"Yes!" Yao Chaohai put away the banknote, glanced at Tang Meiling's angry eyes, then bowed and left.

Yao Luyang had already made the worst plan. He took out a stack of Tongchao silver notes from his pocket and stuffed them into Tang Meiling's pocket, saying in a low voice, "Ling'er, Daddy will give you the redemption slip that our family has stored in the Jinhui Chain Silver Bank. Daddy has already given your brother one million taels of silver. This 1.6 million taels of silver is all yours. With your Qinggong, you, your mother, and your Senior Brother Jinshi will definitely have no problem sneaking out of the city.

You guys go first, it's important to exchange the banknotes for cash. Your Senior Brother Jinshi just rashly ran out of the government office, Wang Chao will definitely investigate this matter. Dad thinks that since Mr. Shi has left the Fucheng government office, your Senior Brother Jinshi has no need to stay in the government office.

Otherwise, you will not gain any benefit all day, but will be bullied by the dynasty all day long."

Tang Meiling received 1.6 million taels of silver notes and was overjoyed, but she also hurriedly asked how to deal with Shi Tianyu's matter.

~~

At this time, Zhuo Shicai was in dishevel, Yan Linshi reeked of alcohol, Qian Youyu was in a panic, and Jiang Zaixing stumbled into Yao's house.

Gao Jianguang, Li Baiqing and other wealthy businessmen also hurried into Yao's mansion.

Yao Luyang hurriedly urged Tang Meiling to take her mother away.

Tang Meiling reluctantly left the backyard with her mother Tang Yulin and senior brother Peng Jinshi.

~~

Businessmen are only interested in profit. When Zhuo Shicai heard that Shi Tianyu was in trouble, he immediately questioned Yao Luyang. He changed his attitude as fast as turning the pages of a book and said angrily, "Yao Weng, what happened? How could this bastard named Shi suddenly get into trouble?

We spent a lot of manpower, material resources and money to help him achieve fame and fortune in Fucheng, and he just went to jail and abandoned us? This son of a bitch is really a piece of shit! "

Qian Youyu, Jiang Zaixing and other merchants all looked at Zhuo Shicai in astonishment, thinking to themselves: This Zhuo Shicai is really bad, even worse than Wu Zhengdao and Xiang Laixiang. How come Zhuo Shicai stabbed Master Shi in the back right after Master Shi left?

~~

Yao Luyang said coldly: "Zhuo Shicai, don't say such harsh words. Among all the merchants in Fucheng, your Zhuo family has made the most money from Lord Shi. How can you abuse Lord Shi like this? Where is your conscience? Do you think Lord Shi is dead?

What if he returns to Kyoto this time and later returns to Sichuan to serve as governor? Where will your Zhuo family run to? Humph! "

Zhuo Shicai's face suddenly turned red and he was speechless.

He quickly pretended to lower his head and reached out to button his clothes, thinking that he had indeed revealed his fox tail too early.

~~

Gao Jianguang saw that Zhuo Shicai was already embarrassed, so he changed the subject and bowed to ask Yao Luyang: "Mr. Yao, what should we do now?" Yao Luyang smiled and said: "The most urgent thing is to transport the family property. Load all the valuables in the house into the carriage. As soon as the city gate opens tomorrow, we will leave the city immediately and settle down in Kyoto together.

Anyway, we have invested in the Yujing Bank chain, so even if we don’t do any business in the future, we will have food to eat and money to spend.
