"Wei Chen saw that Xiao Weizhen's servant violated the imperial edict and saved the Wu family teahouse!" Lu Zhong said anxiously.
He still has some political insight.
But Xiao Weizhen was so obedient and helped Zhu Qiyu restrain Chen Dang, so there was no need to operate on him.
"Your Majesty, this Wu family is a Shanxi merchant. On the surface, he runs a teahouse, but in fact he runs a pawn shop!"
Lu Zhong gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, this pawnshop is second to none in the black market. It is a gold-lettered sign. It has released countless usury money and forced many people to sell their sons and daughters."
Zhu Qiyu frowned, Shanxi Shang, Xuanzhen.
This is what he has always suspected.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen heard that the Wu family started out by dealing in grain. Now the main family no longer deals in grain, but the branches are still doing grain business, um... doing some cross-border grain trading."
After Lu Zhong finished speaking, his head hit the ground hard.
"smuggling?"
Zhu Qiyu became interested: "Tell me carefully!"
"The Wu family has five brothers and a branch with fourteen houses. The branch is mainly engaged in grain, salt and iron trade. It made money from the border, and then invested in the rich places of North Zhili and South Zhili, making a lot of money. "
"It is involved in so many industries and has so many assets that it is difficult to estimate them with numbers."
"Wei Chen heard that the Wu family's backer in the court was Chen Xun. Chen Xun was able to vigorously develop the Chen Party because of the financial resources of Shanxi merchants, of which the Wu family contributed a lot."
"The Wu family has funded thousands of Jin scholars in Jin. No less than a hundred people have passed the Jinshi examination. There are also people named Wu who have changed their names and entered the officialdom. They have used money to clear their way and are promoted step by step."
"The Wu family and the Wang family are in-laws to each other. That night, Xiao Weizhen, the minister of Honglu Temple, was sitting in the Wu family. Even the fans of Dongchang did not dare to enter the house."
"But Wang Shichen, the head of the Wang family, died at home. There was a fire in the house and everything was burned down. According to Tiqi's report, there were also high-ranking officials from the Wang family sitting in charge that night."
"It is Zhao Rong, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry who disappeared in the court!"
Lu Zhong reported the truth.
Zhu Qiyu narrowed his eyes: "You know everything?"
"Your Majesty, spare your life. I want to find out the real evidence and report it to Your Majesty. I have no intention of hiding anything!" Lu Zhong was extremely frightened.
"snort!"
Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly: "Why did I form Tiqi?"
"Correct and impeach the world for my purpose!"
"It's a good thing you knew it but didn't report it, and deliberately concealed it. What's your intention?"
"Lu Zhong, I originally wanted to give you an ultimatum and let you go, but judging from this, I should just give you death!"
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
Lu Zhong kowtowed as if pounding garlic and kept explaining.
"Come here, drag him out! Give him death!" Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to talk nonsense: "Pass an edict to..."
He wanted Dongchang to investigate, but it was Dongchang who collected the money that night. He asked them to investigate him, so it was better not to investigate.
Jinyiwei is sealing Qinglou again. Tiqi, who originally had high hopes, died just after being formed.
The incompetence of one general will tire out the three armies.
"Drag it back!"
Zhu Qiyu's voice sounded like a fairy voice to Lu Zhong. He had become incontinent, and when he was dragged back, his whole body was as limp as mud.
Feng Xiao used a fan to blow away the bad smell.
"Lu Zhong, considering your past loyalty, I will give you one last chance!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were as bright as a knife: "Before tomorrow morning, I want to see the evidence of the Wu family's crimes, as well as anyone implicated! Anything!"
"That night, which official went to the merchant's mansion to take charge!"
"Why go and sit in charge?"
"What is their relationship?"
"Why didn't Dongchang investigate? Why didn't Jinyiwei report it?"
"You have to find out everything for me that I should know!"
"Tomorrow morning, if I can't see what I want to see, there is no need for you to live. I will give you Lingchi, and the Tiqi will no longer exist. I will kill them all!"
Zhu Qiyu was worried that Lu Zhong wouldn't understand, so he made his words very clear.
He wants, the person he wants to catch!
I hope Lu Zhong understands this and doesn't catch those obedient dogs.
And go catch those disobedient guys and let them have a taste of my power!
"Wei Chen thanks your Majesty for not killing me! Wei Chen will definitely handle it properly!" Lu Zhong cried bitterly.
"get out."
Zhu Qiyu was very dissatisfied.
Lu Zhong definitely can no longer be the chief officer of Tiqi. We have to find a new candidate. Tiqi should have the backbone of Tiqi!
Don't be like the factory guards in the past, who were infiltrated into a sieve!
However, this factory security operation made Zhu Qiyu very dissatisfied, but this cannot be blamed on Shu Liang and Jin Zhong. After all, they had few people under their control, and it would take some time.
"Your Majesty, my servants have also heard of this Wu family." Feng Xiao said promptly.
"Um?"
Zhu Qiyu tilted his head and looked over: "When did you hear about it?"
"I heard from Eunuch Jin that many of the items in the palace were sold to a pawnshop called Shanlintang. The owner behind Shanlintang is the Yizhou Wu family."
Zhu Qiyu nodded, but changed the topic: "Didn't Shu Liang say that all the pawnshops were robbed? All the merchants in the capital are dead? Why is there still this Wu family that slipped through the net?"
Feng Xiao's expression changed, and he knelt on the ground in fright, daring not to answer.
"And that Zhao Rong, according to Lu Zhong, seems to have been killed by Dongchang, but why didn't Shu Liang avenge him?"
Zhu Qiyu's tone was cold: "That godfather of yours, after all, the mud can't hold up the wall. He doesn't even know what shit his men have done?"
"Give an order, reprimand him, let him examine himself, tell him, what's the use of keeping a disobedient dog?"
"My slave obeys the order!" Feng Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
The only thing that comforted him was that the emperor still trusted Shu Liang.
"Give him two unnamed bronze talismans, and I will give him the power to clean up the East Factory. Do it beautifully, don't be timid!"
The corners of Feng Xiao's lips curled up. The emperor was a hard-spoken man with a soft heart, and he scolded fiercely, but he was giving Shu Liang some advice on how to rectify the East Factory, giving both kindness and power.
Looking at Feng Xiao's back, Zhu Qiyu murmured to himself: "It turns out that the Shanxi merchants support Chen Xun. No wonder the Wala people came as soon as they were called! But how can we make the Wala people retreat?"
"Who are Shanxi merchants supporting now?"
"Xuanzhen has suffered successive defeats. Are Shanxi merchants the only ones behind it?"
"Who else was involved?"
"What do the Walas want?"
"There will be no war without a goal. Just like the defeat of Tumubao eight years ago, wasn't it because the Oara people wanted to reopen the border trade? They won and the border trade was reopened. What about this time?"
"If Qian wins the battle, it's time to talk and make concessions. Ming Dynasty is too weak."
"If we continue to fight, we will become a joke to China."
"What's the difference between me and the Supreme Emperor, haha."
"A gentleman's revenge is never too late."
"Next time, I will personally go out and wash away Mobei with blood!"
Zhu Qiyu tapped his arm with his fingertips and sneered: "Maybe I'm just talking big words. The next time I fight, I might have to sign a treaty that will disgrace, power, and humiliate the country! As a son-emperor of the Central Plains, I can even defeat Song Gaozong. Not as good as that!”
"The cleaning is not strong enough. I will clean the capital again, remove all the things that should not exist, and then train the troops!"
"We must block the Wala people at Juyong Pass, and we must also train troops to break out of the fortress!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were firm: "I will kill anyone who stands in my way!"
After a long time, he walked out of the shadows and opened the door: "Let's go to Qian Palace."
Look at the beautiful ladies who entered the palace today. How beautiful are they?
…
In Qunfang Pavilion.
The most majestic building was filled with screams one after another.
In the magnificent hall on the first floor, men and women lined up on both sides.
Those powerful young men were trembling in fear at this moment.
In the middle of the hall, there was a chair, and Jin Zhong sat on it: "Chop it, if you don't say it, chop it!"
"I really don't know anything!" The old bustard's palms were bare, and all ten of his fingers were chopped off.
"Trying to be rogue with our family?"
Jin Zhong sneered: "Waiting for you to come back to save you?"
"Stop dreaming, our family is Jin Zhong, the eunuch of Jin Yiwei, who belongs to the emperor!"
"Your Majesty, do you know that the person sitting in the sky of the Ming Dynasty is your Majesty!"
"What kind of background do you have, you dare to come in front of our house to get people?"
"We would like to see it! Does he dare to come?"
He stood up slowly and pointed at a powerful young man at random: "Is it his home?"
puff!
When the young man was stunned, his head was beheaded!
All the young masters screamed and looked frightened. They lost their lives just listening to the music. It was really frightening.
Even if he was really killed, his family would not dare to fart.
Because the one who killed them was Jin Zhong, the famous man next to the emperor!
"Eunuch Jin, Eunuch Jin, I don't know anything, don't kill me!" A young man was so frightened that he peed his pants.
Jin Zhong smiled at him: "Tell the old bustard, whose son was the one who was killed just now?"
"Yes, he is the son of the Minister of Justice!"
"Our family will read a book about his father. When the princess passed away, he did not want to serve the country or share the worries of Your Majesty. He actually allowed his son to indulge in sexual pleasure. How could such an unfaithful and unfilial minister serve in court? Where is your Majesty's service? He deserves to be killed!"
Jin Zhong's eyes were like lightning, scanning all the young masters.
The young masters were all weak. If their father's official position and title were taken away, his father would definitely beat them to death, and his mother would not be able to protect them.
Most of them are bastards in the family who have no intention of pursuing a career and cannot inherit the family business, so they indulge in building houses and become happy dandies.
But I didn't expect that when I was happy, my life was gone!
A young man got up from the ground, slapped a girl on the face, and shouted: "Say! Where are you hiding this person? Tell me!"
"I don't know...uh!"
The young man strangled her neck and forced her to tell her!
The girl looked like she was losing her temper.
Song Tang wanted to take care of it, but Jin Zhong waved his hand and asked him to strangle. There were many girls anyway, so if he strangled her to death, he would strangle her to death.
Soon, the girl was strangled to death, and the young man looked at the other girl with a ferocious face!
"No, don't kill me!" The girl was trembling with fear: "I said!"
"Say!" The young man wanted to pinch her.
However, Song Tang kicked her away, raised the woman in front of Jin Zhong, and forced her to kneel down.
"Tell me." Jin Zhong's eyes flashed.
"In the Liang Caravan!" The girl's face was full of horror, as if she was talking about a great big shot.
Jin Zhong felt very strange and looked at Lu Qian. Lu Qian was a fast player in Shuntian Mansion and knew the capital very well.
"Back to the Admiral, the Liangma Gang is active on both sides of the Liangma River. It is a small gang." Lu Qian reported back.
"Gang?"
Jin Zhong frowned: "Lu Qian, bring the Jin Yiwei to arrest him. Anyone who dares to stop him will be punished for rebellion and will be killed directly!"
But how could a mere small gang dare to accept so many women?
It seems there is a big fish behind it.
"Tell us, who runs this Goulan Courtyard?" Jin Zhong asked the girl.
"The slave family doesn't know!"
Jin Zhong pointed at the young master: "Come here and strangle her to death!"
"The slave family really doesn't know!"
The young man crawled over like a dog and grabbed the girl's neck.
When she was almost out of breath, she roared: "The slave family only knows to call me Mr. Lu!"
As soon as these words came out, the face of the madam in Qunfang Pavilion changed drastically.
"Second Master Lu? What kind of person is worthy of being called Master?"
Jin Zhong chuckled and looked at the madam: "Tell me, who is Lu Er?"
Seeing that she couldn't hide it anymore, the old bustard cried out: "Second Master Lu is the steward of Anyuan Hou Mansion!"
"Anyuanhou? Liu Pu?"
Jin Zhong chuckled: "Do we think he is some kind of extraordinary person? Guan Yao, go and seize the Anyuanhou Mansion and ask Anyuanhou to come over and see our family!"
As soon as these words came out, Qunfang Pavilion trembled.
Only Jin Zhong dared to treat Xungui as a pig or a dog.
"Admiral, Anyuanhou is not in the capital, but in Guangxi." Guan Yao reported back.
"Let the person who calls the shots come. You and your people will blockade the Anyuan Marquis Mansion. No one is allowed to leave or enter. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!" Jin Zhong sneered.
Liu Pu, Liu Pu, the emperor wanted to find an opportunity to deal with you, but he jumped out.
This Liu Pu is from Zhu Qizhen!
However, a mere Anyuanhou cannot cover this Qunfang Pavilion.
Anyuan Hou's Mansion didn't have the guts to hide food secretly.
While waiting, a smile appeared on Jin Zhong's face: "Where have all the oirans gone? They come out to dance. They say that Qunfang Pavilion is the best tile house in Beijing. It houses the top ten oirans in the world. It is also an eye-opener for our family."
"Hui, tell me, the admiral, the old man in Chengguo Palace celebrated his birthday and recruited all the oirans away!" the old bustard replied.
"Is Zhu Yi's mother celebrating her birthday? Why don't our family know about it? It's Mrs. Pingyin's birthday, why don't we send a message to our family?"
Jin Zhong suddenly drew his knife and killed the old bustard with one blow.
"Full of lies!"
"The princess has passed away, who dares to celebrate her birthday? Is Mrs. Pingyin tired of living? Or is Zhu Yi tired of living!"
"Besides, the dignified Mrs. Pingyin, the wife of King Pingyin Wumin, why would she invite a bunch of concubines for her birthday? Isn't that embarrassing enough?"
Jin Zhong's face was spattered with blood: "Here, go and ask for Mrs. Pingyin!"
Duke Cheng cannot fail. In addition to needing Duke Ying and Duke Cheng to stabilize people's hearts, Zhu Yi's wife is Hu Hui's daughter!
But what the madam said was wonderful, and he put Hu Hui's handle into Jin Zhong's hands.
What does the emperor want to do?
There is no point in turning disobedient people into obedient dogs!
As for who bought the refugee girl, whether alive or dead, the emperor didn't care at all.
He only cares about two things, taming the court and finding more food.
Everything else doesn't matter.
Sitting down again, Jin Zhong knew for sure that behind the Qinglou, there should be Duke Chengguo's Mansion, and Marquis Anyuan should have a share in it.
Judging from this, Marquis Anyuan is from the lineage of Duke Cheng.
Keep pulling carrots and see how many more people you can bring out.
"What's your name?" Jin Zhong asked the young man.
"Reporting to the Admiral, my name is Yu Qinyu!"
"Who are you, Yu Shiyue?"
"It is the father of late birth!"
Jin Zhong looked at him with interest, "Did you pass the examination?"
"Reporting to the Admiral, the late student has passed the imperial examination and is preparing for this year's general examination." Yu Qinyu answered respectfully.
"Yes, you can stay with us for the time being and get some experience. We will invite you to the palace to meet the emperor. Being favored by the emperor will be more glorious than if you become a scholar." Jin Zhong found that Yu Qinyu was a malleable talent, especially the son of a civil servant. .
The civil servants wanted to control the emperor, so why didn’t the eunuchs want to control the civil servants?
Jin Zhong also wanted to tame civil servants into dogs.
"This..." Yu Qinyu regretted showing her weakness.
He is the legitimate son of Yu Shiyue, and he should have a serious official career. How can he join the Jinyi Guard?
If his father finds out, he must not be beaten to death.
"Forget it if you don't want to. Just go and kneel aside." Jin Zhong didn't care about such a small role at all. He even didn't look down on his father, Yu Shiyue.
Seeing Jin Zhong's eyes, Yu Qinyu immediately kowtowed: "Thank you, late student, for the promotion!"
"It's a good seedling." Jin Zhong raised the corner of his mouth.
Indeed, Yu Qinyu is better at flattering than his father Yu Shiyue.
Yu Shiyue can also flatter, but he often flatters the horse's legs, which is bad luck.
Among those young masters, some were envious while others were disdainful. It was disgraceful that the legitimate son of a dignified civil servant acted like a dog to the eunuch.
Half an hour later, Lu Qian escorted several men with wounds all over their bodies in.
The girl exclaimed, and it was Chen Si, the leader of the Liang Cavalry, who was escorted in by Lu Qian.
"Admiral, I have found 120 women in the Liang Cavalry!" Lu Qian reported.
"What about the rest?"
Jin Zhong didn't ask, what would happen to these women? It would definitely not be good.
"Not found under the mark!"
Jin Zhong pointed at Chen Si: "Cast him first, and then ask questions!"
The method of castration was very clumsy, one person was pulling the other person while the other was being stabbed.
Everyone can see clearly.
The super boss in the eyes of the girls in Goulan Courtyard was castrated like a dead dog and then dragged to Jin Zhong.
"Help me, help me..." Chen Sim begged vaguely for mercy.
"What kind of gang can a bastard like this do?"
Jin Zhong sneered: "Tell me, who is behind this? Our family is not interested in your sesame and mung bean-like gang."
"No, I dare not say that!" Chen Si was very clever. He recognized Jin Zhong's official uniform at a glance and knew that he was in trouble this time.
"If you want to castrate everyone else and want to die, just tell them, otherwise they will all be castrated and fed to dogs."
Jin Zhong pointed to the cut thing: "Throw it out and feed it to the dogs."
There was a solemn atmosphere in Qunfang Pavilion.
No one expected that the Liang Cavalry, which was famous in the world, would be inferior to Jin Zhong.
This is power!
Real power!
"It's Marquis Anyuan, it's Marquis Anyuan!" Some members of the gang spoke out because they were afraid of being castrated.
"Is it Liu Pu again?"
Jin Zhong suddenly shouted: "Have the Anyuanhou family not come yet? Where are they? Send an order, let our family wait for a cup of tea, and we will kill anyone from the Anyuanhou family! Don't play tricks with our family, Jin Yiwei is doing something, he dares to let Jin Yiwei wait?"
Chen Si looked at Jin Zhong blankly.
In his eyes, the most powerful person was Anyuanhou. Even though he had been working for the Anyuanhou Mansion for many years, he had never met Liu Pu at all and had always dealt with his sons. Usually when he saw Anyuan Hou's son, he would kneel down to answer the question and never stand up.
But in Jin Zhong's eyes, Marquis Anyuan is worse than a dog!
This is power!
In the eyes of the powerful, the heroes in the world are probably just a bunch of ruffians.
Chen Si smiled stupidly, laughing at how idiotic he was.
Squeak!
At this time, the door of Qunfang Pavilion opened, and a young and handsome young man walked in: "Junior Liu Chengkuan, please see Eunuch Jin!"
Liu Chengkuan was Liu Pu's fifth son, a concubine, and he was respectful to Jin Zhong.
"Do you know him?" Jin Zhong was too lazy to talk nonsense.
"I know, this is Chen Si from the Liangma Gang."
Seeing that Jin Zhong didn't speak, Liu Chengkuan quickly explained: "This junior relied on the power of my father and brother to form a small gang for fun. I don't want to offend Jin Yiwei. Please forgive me, father-in-law!"
Jin Zhong glanced at Liu Chengkuan, this kid is difficult to deal with.
Then he asked: "Is this brothel also your family's property?"
"Returning to my father-in-law, it is not a family property. It was instigated by the younger generation and Zhu Zhen in their free time. It was not on the stage, so it was not made public."
Zhu Zhen is Zhu Yi's second son.
Jin Zhong immediately opened his eyes, wonderful man!
Liu Pu gave birth to a good son!
This Liu Chengkuan, knowing that our family was collecting evidence against Duke Chengkuan, actually took the initiative to send it to us!
What a wonderful man.
Jin Zhong asked deliberately: "Is it you who ordered the Liang Ma Gang to buy women from the refugees?"
"It was the instruction of the younger generation and Zhu Zhen. Since we are running a brothel, we naturally need something with beautiful colors. There are not many refugees who are pretty. This is a serious business, please don't blame me."
Liu Chengkuan answered accurately, but secretly brought Zhu Zhen in.
"Then what did you buy the woman for?"
"food!"
Liu Chengkuan knelt on the ground, with endless regret on his face: "This junior stole the food stored in the house and took the opportunity to buy some women."
smart people!
Jin Zhong admired this boy a little.
"How much food will be needed for more than two thousand women? Can Mr. Liu do the math?"
Jin Zhong stood up and dusted himself off: "Take him back to the imperial prison and have a good trial!"
"Junior is willing to cooperate."
Liu Chengkuan actually kowtowed and was very cooperative.
It's comfortable to deal with smart people.
Jin Zhong went to great lengths to collect evidence for the government.
Why?
Hu Mingbai.
The wife of Duke Cheng Zhu Yi was Hu Hui's daughter, and Zhu Zhen was Hu Hui's grandson.
If the emperor wants Hu Hui to obey, he must take advantage of him.
Then, in the court, tame everyone into dogs.
Liu Chengkuan was smarter. He could see Jin Zhong's purpose at a glance and actively cooperated. Liu Pu might have wanted to surrender to the emperor.
"Qunfang Pavilion was sealed and the woman was taken to prison!"
Jin Zhong asked Guan Yao and three others to lead a team to seize all the brothels in Beijing and take all the women to prison.
…
Chengqian Palace.
When Zhu Qiyu received Jin Zhong's report, the corners of his mouth raised: "Zhu Yi, Liu Pu, I have caught your pigtails."
"Hu Hui was also involved, wonderful, haha!"
"Jin Zhong has done a good job. If we urge Jin Zhong again, there must be clues with so much food. Keep checking and dig deeper!"
According to Tang Guifei's report, more than fifty daughters of officials entered the palace today.
She arranged for these women to come over one by one and let the emperor see the color.
Zhu Qiyu leaned his head and lay on the couch, letting the daughters of the officials pass by one by one.
Every time one passed by, Feng Xiao said his name and family status.
"Then Hu's is good!"
Zhu Qiyu looked at a young but elegant girl wearing green clothes. She was Hu Changning's legitimate daughter.
"What's your name?" Zhu Qiyu tilted his head and asked Feng Xiao.
"Your Majesty, my name is Hu Guiju." Feng Xiao replied.
This name made Zhu Qiyu couldn't help laughing, Ju...
He tilted his head and glanced: "Stay in Qianqing Palace to serve you."
Hu Hui was sensible and he reciprocated the favor. We couldn't let the old lady's granddaughter pour the bucket.
When Hu Hui disobeys, I will torture your granddaughter.
Zhu Qiyu was full of bad taste and admired the daughter of hundreds of officials.
Compare their appearance with their father's to see if they are biological children.
In a high-ranking family, who doesn't do some shitty things? How old are those courtiers and they have so many wives? It's strange that there is no color in the family.
As a result, the more I watched it, the more disappointed I became. There was nothing surprising about it.
He left the daughters of important ministers in the court to serve him in the Qianqing Palace, while the others were sent to various palaces.
There is a girl who is quite scheming.
She wears a little more revealing clothes and looks seductive, but compared to the seductive bitch in her previous life, it's far different.
Moreover, he was a little less good-looking, his skin was a little dark, and his arms were a little hairy, so Zhu Qiyu didn't like him.
She is Lin Cong and her granddaughter, her name is Lin Yu.
He also stayed in Qianqing Palace to serve him.
"Your Majesty, do you want to stay with me?" Tang Guifei asked quietly, referring to Lin Yu.
"You're only a teenager, and your hair is so heavy. When you grow up, won't it be more than mine? Forget it, let's put it in the palace and be a rough maid."
Zhu Qiyu's spirits were waning. Aren't all ladies from official families supposed to be beauties?
Why are they all this color?
I thought it was a stunning beauty pageant, but in the end, it was better not to watch it.
Disappointed.
"Pack out the Yonghe Palace and let Mr. Tan move in."
Zhu Qiyu decided to accept Tan Yunxian.
I wasn't in a hurry at first, but after seeing so many unappetizing official ladies from the capital, I found that Tan Yunxian was still pretty, which made me excited.
"Your Majesty, if everyone was stunningly beautiful, wouldn't it tire you out?"
Tang Guifei made fun of the emperor.
"Isn't it enough for me to just be nice to my eyes?"
Concubine Tang laughed and said, "There are also men who do rough work in the palace, not to mention those who have been working hard for several years and then have to be released from the palace."
"Right."
Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "It's just that the eunuch is suffering. In the future, there will be no palace maids to look after. These ladies from the official family may not even be favored by the number one scholar, so how can they like the eunuch?"
Concubine Tang covered her mouth and smiled: "Why don't your Majesty give the eunuchs a marriage?"
"Stop it. I don't want to bear the eternal infamy. They should solve it by themselves." Zhu Qiyu was very happy. Who knows how the eunuch could solve it by himself.
Sleeping with clothes on.
…
Lu Zhong came out of the palace with red eyes.
"Open your fucking eyes. If I don't see the sun tomorrow, you will all die!"
Lu Zhong led Tiqi and kicked down the door of Wu family first.
"Your Majesty, this is from the head of the family!" The Wu family's housekeeper took out a handful of silver.
But he was kicked over by Lu Zhong and pointed to the scar on his forehead: "Did you see it? Your Majesty slapped it!"
"Next time, Your Majesty will take my head!"
"Money has no use! Take me to find your master!"
Lu Zhong ordered people to guard each door and block the news. Anyone who dared to go out would be killed.
Wu Zheng is over fifty years old this year. He is the head of the main sect. The most astute thing about the Wu family is that there are five branches of the main sect and fourteen branches scattered throughout the country.
The main ones in the capital were Wu Zheng and Wu Sideo and Wu Siming.
"Boss Wu, do you know me?" Lu Zhong entered the hall holding a knife.
"Of course we know each other, Lord Tiqilu."
Wu Zheng's attitude was kind: "Sir, please take a seat..."
But Lu Zhong directly put the knife on his neck: "You sir, don't be nagging. What did you say when I asked you? Don't talk nonsense! I don't have time!"
"Who was the guest at home the night before yesterday?"
Wu Zheng's expression changed, and he wanted to get close to him, but Lu Zhong pressed the blade into his neck, causing blood to flow out, which frightened him.
"Don't, don't be like this, it's Xiao Weizhen, Mr. Xiao! I am good friends with Mr. Xiao..."
Lu Zhong continued to press the blade, and more blood flowed.
Wu Zheng didn't dare to speak.
"Whatever I ask, I say. If I didn't ask, don't say anything!"
Lu Zhong hated himself. He didn't know how to kill someone according to the imperial edict, so what else could he do?
No wonder His Majesty is furious, he deserves it!
"Yes, yes!" Wu Zheng was frightened.
"Did any disaster happen to your family the night before yesterday?" Lu Zhong asked again.
"There were, there were rebels who attacked the mansion, but they were repulsed by the servants! Ah!"
Wu Zheng screamed again: "I didn't lie!"
His throat felt cold and blood flowed even more.
"Why didn't I see any signs of attack?"
"That night, someone knocked on the door and then walked out. Do you think I am blind?"
"Open your eyes and see, who is this officer?"
"It's Lu Zhong!"
Lu Zhong was furious!
You are even stupider, why should you help cover up this kind of thing?
That night, he was right outside the door and received benefits from his family, otherwise how could he know such details!
"Come here, kill Wu Zheng's son!" Lu Zhong roared.
While Wu Zheng was still dumbfounded, he saw Yi Tiqi throwing a head on the ground. That was his seventh son, his favorite son!
Wu Zheng did not dare to cry for fear that his throat would be cut and he would die.
"explain!"
"Yes, yes, that night, Dongchang captain Zhang Yongnian came to the mansion. Because Mr. Xiao was there, he left, and I gave him the title deed to a thousand acres of fertile land!" Wu Zheng cried.
"Write it down!" Lu Zhong said to his men.
Then he asked: "What is the relationship between Xiao Weizhen and you? Why should I protect you?"
Wu Zheng did not dare to hide it, saying that his backstage was Chen Xun, and after Chen Xun died, it was Xiao Weizhen, so Xiao Weizhen protected him.
"ah!"
Before he finished speaking, Wu Zheng screamed, and blood burst out from his neck.
He's almost cutting his throat. If it's a little deeper, he'll be dead!
"What I said is all the truth!" Wu Zheng roared.
"fart!"
Lu Zhong sneered: "Who does Xiao Weizhen mean? He is just a minister of Honglu Temple. What can he help you with? Can he help you transport food to Wala?"
"No, absolutely not!" Wu Zheng was frightened.
"I'll give you one last chance, think about it before you talk!" Lu Zhong was too lazy to talk nonsense.
"It's Li Xian, it's Li Xian!"
Wu Zheng couldn't hide it anymore, and he didn't dare to hide it.
Lu Zhong thought about it and found out that it was possible for Li Xian to have someone write it down.
"Where is Wang Shichen?"
"They are also Li Xian's people! We are all Li Xian's people!" Wu Zheng was too frightened to hide it.
"Who else?"
"The Yu family and the Huang family are all members of Li Xian!" Wu Zheng sold it out.
"Are all Shanxi merchants from Li Xian?"
Wu Zheng nodded, but because of excessive force, more blood flowed out.
Seems like he is quite honest.
Lu Zhong put down the knife, looked around, spoke in a slightly slower tone, and asked casually: "Has your pawn shop been robbed?"
"It's a robbery. There's nothing left." Wu Zheng didn't dare to lie.
"Why didn't you go to Shuntian Mansion to complain?" Lu Zhong sat on the main seat and asked his servants to serve tea and drink the fine tea.
"I don't dare."
"With Li Xian's support, what can you not dare to do?"
Lu Zhong seemed to be talking about common things, and asked his subordinates to have a taste of tea, and the atmosphere became inexplicably relaxed.
"I dare not cause trouble to Mr. Li Ge."
Lu Zhong nodded: "There are many refugees in the capital, so you are making a lot of money, right?"
"No, no, I believe in Buddhism and don't dare to make money that goes against my conscience for fear of retribution."
Wu Zheng kept himself clean: "But the business of the branch of the Wu family is beyond my control as the head of the family."
"It was all done by brothers Wu Sidao and Wu Siming?" Lu Zhong half-smiled.
The good deeds are your own, and the blame is yours.
Wu Zheng looked embarrassed, covering his neck with his hands, and blood continued to flow out, but he could only endure it and did not dare to call a doctor.
"Have you not bought any women at home lately?"
"no no……"
Before Wu Zheng finished speaking, he suddenly noticed that Lu Zhong's face turned gloomy and he suddenly screamed. He was kicked far away by Lu Zhong and fell to the ground hard.
"You're fucking fooling me!"
Lu Zhong put the knife on his neck: "Isn't your family a serious businessman? The pawnshop was robbed? Why don't you go to Shuntian Mansion to complain?"
"Also, brothers Wu Sidao and Wu Siming are obviously grain merchants, why are they not dead?"
"You fucking believe in Buddhism! I advise you to believe in Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!"
As he spoke, he struck Wu Zheng in the stomach with a knife.
A knife won't kill you, it just hurts.
"I'll give you one last chance to tell the truth!"
Lu Zhong put the knife on his neck: "Kill another son, go!"
Wu Zheng gritted his teeth.
Once it is said, it will not be that one son will die, but... the entire Shanxi merchant group will die!
"He continued to kill without saying anything!"
Lu Zhong went crazy because if he couldn't find out, the emperor would delay him. This was no joke!
But at this moment, Xiao Weizhen came to the door.
Looking at the mess in the hall, my heart sank.
"Master Xiao came just in time!"
Lu Zhong's eyes were cracked: "He has a secret. I killed several of his sons, but he refused to tell them! Mr. Xiao, that night, you were at his house, and he admitted it. He has a close relationship with you." , you will kill them! Bring them all up!"
"Admiral Lu, since we are all friends, why not sit down and discuss it."
Xiao Weizhen smiled: "Just like that night..."
Snapped!
Lu Zhong slapped Xiao Weizhen hard in the face, then took out a few land deeds from his arms and threw them in Xiao Weizhen's face.
"Your Majesty wants my life. Do you think life or money is more important? Master Xiao!"
Lu Zhong's slap in the face was not enough, so he slapped Xiao Weizhen again with his backhand!
Xiao Weizhen's face turned blue, it was not his face that hurt, but his dignity, yet he still had to force out a smile.
"Admiral Lu, can you vent your anger?" Xiao Weizhen smiled mischievously.
Lu Zhong bared his teeth at him: "No!"
With a direct kick, Xiao Weizhen was knocked to the ground!
"Damn it, I said you colluded between government and businessmen. Now it seems that it is not just collusion between government and businessmen, but also conspiracy to rebel!"
Lu Zhong directly put the knife on Xiao Weizhen's neck: "You still want to drag me into trouble? Do you know? I am your Majesty's man! I will never change!"
Xiao Weizhen was kicked stupidly: "Rebellion, rebellion? Absolutely not, absolutely not!"
He shook his head with a look of horror on his face.
If the Supreme Emperor hadn't seized the door, would he have fallen to this point?
When he heard about the rebellion, he felt uncomfortable all over.
Besides, he had just gained His Majesty's favor, how could he be so foolish as to rebel?
Can……
He slowly looked at Wu Zheng, and when he saw Wu Zheng shut up tightly, he knew something was wrong!
"You, you participated in the rebellion?" Xiao Weizhen really wanted to beat himself to death. Why did he come here after receiving a secret report from the Wu family?
That night, he received ten thousand taels of silver.
He also took the Wu family's land deed and sent Zhang Yongnian and Lu Zhong away.
Afterwards, Wu Zheng presented a painting by Wu Daozi with both hands.
Today, he received a secret report from the Wu family, and he thought that money was so easy to make, and if he made more money, who would have thought that this would be a sinkhole, a sinkhole that he would fall into.
"I didn't rebel!" Wu Zheng cried out.
"Then the pawnshop was robbed, why didn't you go to Shuntian Mansion to complain?" Lu Zhong asked.
After being reminded by Lu Zhong, Xiao Weizhen was also stunned.
Yes, a pawn shop is a serious business. If someone plunders it, it should be recovered. Even the emperor will return part of it if he is under too much pressure.
For two days, Shuntian Mansion has been extremely quiet, so weird!
Looking at Lu Zhong again, we know that the emperor was suspicious, so he sent Tiqi to investigate!
"What secret are you hiding? It's okay if you kill yourself, don't harm me!"
Xiao Weizhen was frightened. He got up and kicked Wu Zheng hard. He grabbed the knife from Ti's rider and put it on Wu Zheng's neck: "Don't force me to kill anyone!"
Wu Zheng was dumbfounded. How could Xiao Weizhen, who had always been a good man, turn into such a beast?
It seems like all the officials in the court are evolving towards beasts?
So weird!
"The Wu family has been killed, as well as the Wang family, the Yu family, and the Huang family. By the way, the Wang family are all dead, and even the bodies can't be found!"
Lu Zhong's eyes flashed and he asked people to pull all the Wu family members over and kill them in front of Wu Zheng!
Then put the head of Wu Zheng's son in front of Wu Zheng and let him stare at it!
"Don't kill, don't kill..."
Wu Zheng cried loudly: "Food, it's food!"
"What?"
Lu Zhong grabbed Wu Zheng suddenly, his eyes shining: "What did you say?"
"food!"
Wu Zheng couldn't hide it anymore.
"Where did the food come from? Where is the food? Take me with you! Hurry!" Lu Zhong was excited. This was an opportunity to make a great contribution.
"Not here, in the ancestral hall, in the cellar!" Wu Zheng said.
Lu Zhong summoned Tiqi and asked Wu Zheng to lead the way to the Wu family ancestral hall.
A few more people were left behind and were not allowed to spread the news.
On the way, Lu Zhong and Xiao Weizhen rode on the same horse: "Master Xiao, why are you hoarding food? Are you going to rebel?"
"It has nothing to do with me!"
Xiao Weizhen was so frightened that he peed: "I don't know anything!"
He didn't even dare to call himself his official, so he just called me.
"Tell me, where did Zhao Rong go that night?" Lu Zhong asked.
"Went to Wang Shichen's house." Xiao Weizhen didn't dare to hide anything and told everything he knew.
After Chen Xun's death, Shanxi merchants were in panic all day long, and finally defected to Li Xian.
In fact, the shortage of food in the capital was not caused by a wave of looting by the powerful in the capital, which led to the famine!
Before that, Shanxi merchants had plundered several waves.
When Chen Xun planned the Walakoko Pass, Shanxi merchants discovered business opportunities and took the opportunity to purchase a batch of grain, preparing to sell it at a high price when Xuan Town was short of grain.
When the war broke out, Shanxi merchants took the opportunity to plunder a wave of grain.
After news of severe flooding in Shandong came, Shanxi merchants purchased another wave of grain.
After three waves, Gyeonggi Province has begun to run out of food.
At this time, in order to earn money from the emperor, the powerful officials in the capital collected grain at high prices, which directly caused a major famine in the capital.
In fact, Gyeonggi has long been a thin layer of ice, but it was only broken by the powerful.
Arrive at the Wu Family Ancestral Hall.
Lu Zhong had the people guarding the ancestral hall killed, and then asked Wu Zheng to point and open the cellar.
Wu Zheng did not dare to resist and opened the cellar.
Lu Zhong went in first holding a torch, asking people to be careful not to ignite the food.
As a result, after walking in, Lu Zhong's eyes widened, then he rushed out and kicked Wu Zheng: "You said this is some food?"
Wu Zheng screamed, his neck and chest were bleeding, he was dying.
"How much?" Xiao Weizhen was surprised.
"I used a torch to shine it, but it didn't even reach the end!"
Plop!
Xiao Weizhen sat down on the ground. It was over. The emperor was already suspicious. If he knew that the Wu family had hidden so much food, he would definitely suspect that the Wu family was rebelling. Li Xian, Xiao Weizhen and others who had close relations with Shanxi merchants would definitely die!
"Who else has food! Say!" Lu Zhong knew that he was smashed by the pie, and he made great achievements!
"The Wang family, the Yu family, the Huang family all have ..."
Gulu!
Lu Zhong swallowed his mouth. If you calculate this, Gyeonggi will not be short of food!
In the Wujia cellar, there are tens of thousands of stones!
"That night, you burned fake food?" Lu Zhong believed that this was the only explanation, otherwise where did the food come from?
Even if it is repeatedly collected, it can't receive so much!
Wu Zheng dare not say.
"It's this time, are you still covering others?" Lu Zhong immediately sent someone to enter the palace to sue, relying on Ti Riding, and he must not be able to control all the food.
He has to contribute to Jinyiwei and East Factory.
This is also the self -protection of Lu Zhong. Compared with Shu Liang and Jin Zhong, he is just the helpless choice of the emperor. Shu Liang and Jin Zhong are the people really trust in the emperor.
Therefore, he can also buy a good credit for Shu Liang and Jin Zhong.
"Not only this year's food, many of them are Chen food!"
Wu Zheng was shocked: "These are all of my family who saved it a little ..."
Click!
Lu Zhong gave him a knife fiercely: "His mother, fucking a fool?"
"Xinliang and Chen Gan Lao Tzu still don't recognize it?"
"This officer was born in a bitter day. When I grew up from the snack Chen Grain, I can't tell what is new grains and what is Chen food?"
Wu Zhengxun was about to be split, his face was pale, and he lost too much blood. He opened his mouth: "Save, save me!"
"You say first, save you again!"
"Yes, it's military food!"
boom!
Lu Zhong widened his eyes and looked at Xiao Weizhen suddenly.
The two people looked at each other, and they realized that it was broken and broke the sky!
Bah!
The knife in Lu Zhong's hand fell to the ground.
After Wu Zheng finished speaking, he giggled and laughed, and smiled more and more happily, just watching Lu Zhong's joke!
"Smile your mother! Go to death!"
Lu Zhong picked up his knife and chopped his head directly!
Seeing that Wu Zheng was killed, Xiao Weizheng was relieved: "Brother Lu, this matter is too big. Now Xuanzhen is a horse honeycomb. Let's not go through hand, can we do it? "
Lu Zhong creened his lip, and he was also frightened.
He is best at protecting Ming Zhe, Xiao Weizhen's proposal made him feel excited.
"Brother, older brother is good for you."
"Really, this fact is too big. We shoulders are too thin and can't stand."
"Believe it or not, as long as you check, the two of us died first!"
Xiao Weizhen was frightened and grabbed Lu Zhong's hand: "Let's go, just don't know anything. Tonight, I have n’t been here as an old brother! Okay?"
