"His Majesty."
Zhu Si, who was escorting Fan Jin out, saw Chongzhen approaching and knelt on the ground. The Jin Yiwei beside them also knelt down and saluted.
"Everyone is free of charge."
"yes."
"Your Majesty, I was wrong. I don't dare anymore."
Fan Jin, who was pressed out, noticed that all the Jin Yiwei were kneeling down. He turned his head and looked behind him, and found that Chongzhen was looking at him. He then looked at Hu Yunqing's house and understood in an instant that all the rumors were true. .
He almost hit the muzzle of the gun. Seeing Zhu Si gearing up, he quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
Seeing Fan Jin making a big fuss, Zhu Si, with quick eyes and quick hands, slapped Fan Jin on the shoulder and neck for fear of alarming Hu Yunqing.
"Well done, lead people to capture the people in Fan Mansion. Wait for my order!"
After giving the order, Chongzhen took Wei Zhongxian into Zhuangzi.
"Cousin, what happened?"
Chongzhen entered the courtyard anxiously and asked pretending to be anxious.
"It's okay. Someone is here to cause trouble. Sit down quickly."
Hu Yunqing walked out of the house and saw Chongzhen and Wei Zhongxian coming, and took them to sit on the stools in the yard.
"Cousin, this is the reward from last time."
"Yes, Not Bad."
After briefly touching the banknote, Hu Yunqing took the banknote and put it in his arms.
"By the way, last night I asked Zhu Si to inform you that there was a spy who established slaves in the Fan family's caravan. Judging from the Fan family's reaction today, it seems that he has been caught."
"That's right. I caught them and got a list of people in the city who are in contact with them from the other party's mouth. But these people are powerful. Last night, they directly dispatched part of the army to find the slave builder."
Chongzhen looked a little ugly and whispered to him.
"Huh, it's not because of Chongzhen's own good deeds. Now the entire capital is dominated by Shanxi merchants, the Donglin Party, and Hong Chengchou. They are secretly restraining each other. In a few years, Chongzhen's good days will come to an end. "
After listening to what Chongzhen said, Hu Yunqing was a little disdainful.
"Mr. Hu, please give our master some advice as soon as possible. The emperor is already very worried about this matter. If we can solve the whole problem, we will definitely make a good profit."
Seeing Hu Yunqing's arrogant look and how he dared to say in front of Chongzhen that Chongzhen's good days were over, Wei Zhongxian quickly interrupted Hu Yunqing and continued.
Finally, Hu Yunqing’s favorite thing was thrown out.
"Well, actually I told you a long time ago that Sichuan chieftain Qin Liangyu can achieve unexpected results if necessary by letting him sneak into Beijing with his white-poled soldiers."
Hu Yunqing's eyes lit up when he heard that there was money to be taken, and he quickly told the solution.
Chongzhen and Wei Zhongxian on the side also noticed the change in Hu Yunqing. They were still mocking Chongzhen. When they heard that Chongzhen gave him money, they directly told him the solution.
"By the time the Sichuan soldiers arrive in the capital, the cucumbers and vegetables will be cold. Now that Fan Jin has been arrested, His Majesty is afraid of the people in the city who are close to Fan Jin. He thinks that if the matter is exposed, he will jump over the wall and be in trouble."
Another problem arose. Far water could not quench the near thirst. Chongzhen once again stated the seriousness of the matter. The other side has already taken control of the army in the city, and the Imperial Guards and Royal Forest Army alone may not be able to hold on for long.
"What's wrong with you? It's not you who died. Why are you anxious?"
Seeing Chongzhen's anxious look, Hu Yunqing felt a little strange. He had nothing to do with the two brothers. When the imperial power changes, it won't be small characters like them who die.
"There's no rush, it's just that Fan Jin has a grudge against you, cousin, and is afraid that he will gain power by then and will never let you go."
When asked by Hu Yunqing, Chongzhen also felt a little out of control, so he pretended to be calm and said to him.
"This Chongzhen is really troublesome. If it weren't for the sake of money, I wouldn't bother to give him this idea."
"What my cousin said is absolutely true, what's the solution?"
Chongzhen was speechless for a while. He didn't expect that he was the one who was taken advantage of, and he had to smile along with it.
"Isn't there a Shenji camp outside the city? The leader of the army, Xu Wei, is quite good. Just transfer people to the area around the palace. Once these people see that the risk is too great, they won't have other ideas."
"Why didn't I think of that?"
In his hurry, he forgot that there was an army outside the city. Just when Chongzhen was muttering in a low voice, Wei Zhongxian tugged at the corner of Chongzhen's clothes.
"Ang, steward, go back and write a letter to the Lord, and ask the Lord to report it to the Emperor."
When Chongzhen looked up and saw Hu Yunqing looking at him, he quickly became serious and told Wei Zhongxian behind him.
Wei Zhongxian looked at Chongzhen's eyes and instantly understood what he meant, that he wanted him to do it quickly.
"Cousin, I saw that the crops on your ground were growing well last time. Please take me to visit them."
After Wei Zhongxian left, Chongzhen changed the topic to corn and potatoes.
"Brother, don't worry, as long as we mature this time, we can definitely make a lot of money."
Hearing that Chongzhen was going to see the land he planted, Hu Yunqing stood up happily and led Chongzhen towards the direction of his land, introducing Chongzhen as he walked.
Chongzhen knew that Hu Yunqing had planted a lot of grain. When he came to the ground, he found that even corn had been planted around him.
In addition to building slaves and doing fine work today, I also want to see how the grain harvest is here at Hu Yunqing's place.
As soon as I arrived here, I was shocked to see more than a hundred people working in the fields.
"Cousin, where did you come from with so many people?"
It feels very strange to think that when I came last time, there were only a few people in Zhuangzi, but now so many people appeared out of thin air.
"These people are the refugees near the capital in recent days. I gave each of them three taels of silver per month and two meals a day."
"My cousin, this is a great idea! It not only solves the problem of resettlement of refugees near the capital, but also provides access to so much labor force."
Now the labor force in the capital is rushing to harvest their own grain, and there are no extra people to hire. Hu Yunqing has also contracted such a large piece of farmland. If he relies on the people in Zhuangzi, there is no way to harvest it in a short time.
The weather at this time is changeable, and no one knows what it will be like tomorrow. It’s all about harvesting early and finishing early.
"It's not bad. I'm going to pick up the corns too. If you're okay, come with me."
While the two were talking, the cowherd boy who was working in the field began to call Hu Yunqing. Hu Yunqing did not have any airs and began to go down to the field. He looked back at Chongzhen and said to him as he stood there.
Chongzhen felt a little embarrassed when he saw Hu Yunqing greeting him warmly. He had grown up in a deep palace and had never done any farm work at all.
