Kunning Palace.
When Liu Xiang learned that Wu Nian was back, he led everyone out to greet him. Wu Nian's face looked much better at this moment, but it was still different from usual.
Liu Xiang was stunned for a moment, then happily stepped forward, hugged Wu Nian's arm, and the emperor and empress entered the main hall of Kunning Palace together.
After sitting down, Liu Xiang asked cheerfully: "Brother, didn't you go out to the city to see some glass greenhouse? Why do you have such a dark face?"
Wu Nian thought of the glass greenhouse and felt better again. By the way, I looked up at the doors and windows of Kunning Palace. They were all equipped with transparent glass.
Apart from anything else, it can also keep you warmer in this winter.
Much thicker than paper mache.
And the lighting is good.
Wu Nian took a breath and told Liu Xiang what happened.
"These damn profiteers." Liu Xiang also got angry and cursed. In the past, when they were farming in Beishanbao, they often encountered various price reductions from grain merchants.
This incident triggered bad memories for her.
"Brother, don't be angry. We will confiscate all their homes and the confiscated assets will go back to the treasury. Maybe this time. Brother will spend a lot of money and raise the price of food. Not only will the money be returned, but maybe a small profit will be made."
Liu Xiang cursed and comforted Wu Nian. Then she said happily: "Brother, let me squeeze it for you. It will make you feel comfortable."
"Yeah." Wu Nian thought the same thing and couldn't help but laugh.
The Cao family in Shanxi and the Wang family in Tianjin.
Anyone who dares to act like a profiteer in front of me.
Take them all.
Confiscation of property.
Queen Xiang'er is right, you might be able to make a small profit. The emperor and empress were enjoying themselves daily, and the two of them came to the palace. Liu Xiang undressed Wu Nian and asked someone to bring in the heater.
Wu Nian lay on the bed, and she sat on Wu Nian's waist, pinching and massaging Wu Nian's shoulders herself.
When the emperor was angry, blood spattered hundreds of miles.
Liu Zhixing's guess was correct. Who wouldn't be jealous if so much money from the imperial court was leaked out? Some officials are involved, some are corrupt, some are corrupt, some are corrupt.
As the imperial court took strong action, countless officials and businessmen were arrested. For a time, the entire prison of the Criminal Department was overcrowded.
There was a rumbling sound inside and outside the capital.
the next day.
Tianjin businessman Wang Jiadong and three other Tianjin businessmen were escorted to Caishikou for questioning.
It was a public execution.
A wooden platform was set up at the food market entrance, which is the most crowded place. There are soldiers guarding it, supervisors and beheading officers, sword and ax hands, and bulletin boards.
The notice on the bulletin board made the whole story very clear.
It was also clear who the murderer was.
For a time, it attracted many people to watch. After learning about the situation, the people cursed one after another.
"What a profiteer. He deserves such an end. He actually stole the money distributed by the emperor to the people."
"The cheapness of the grain hurts the farmers. These people's families are extremely rich, yet they are still greedy and do these unscrupulous things. They should go to the eighteenth level of hell."
"Kill, kill well."
The crowd of people was so huge that the soldiers had to use all their strength to prevent the people from rushing onto the stage and tearing Wang Jiadong and others into pieces.
The four Wang Jiadongs were wearing prison uniforms and had beheading signs hung around their necks. Their names and place of origin were clear.
The four of them looked at the surging crowd around them, thinking that they were about to be killed. Can't help but be in a dream.
It wasn't that long ago that we were making a ton of money.
Eating in a restaurant and listening to Xiao Taohong singing.
It’s people who are superior to others.
A well-known big businessman in Tianjin.
Now, it has ended up like this.
"Wang Jiadong. You killed me."
"Wang Jiadong. You bastard."
The four people gradually became desperate and broke out in despair. The other three people usually flattered Wang Jiadong, but at this moment they were yelling at Wang Jiadong. If their hands were not tied, they would have rushed up and bit Wang Jiadong to death.
The sitting supervisor saw these four people biting dogs and sneered. Then he raised his head and looked at the sky, spotted the time, and ordered: "The time has come for execution."
"ah!!!!"
The sword and ax hand rose and fell, and the four Wang Jiadong men screamed, and their heads rolled down.
"good."
"Good kill."
"It's a good death."
When the people saw this scene, they immediately clapped their hands and applauded, and let out a sigh of disgust. Immediately, the supervisor gathered the soldiers, took away the bodies of the four Wangjiadong people, and buried them in mass graves.
This is just the beginning.
At the Caishikou execution ground in the capital, countless people were killed, and the table was dyed red with blood.
Wu Nian's knife is very sharp.
Heads rolling in.
After a breath of bad breath came out, Wu Nian's mood naturally improved.
morning.
In the Qianqing Palace. Wu Nian had nothing to do, playing around with an ordinary red tassel gun. After finishing a set of marksmanship, the body warmed up.
"Da da da."
Rapid footsteps sounded. Wu Nian looked up and saw Chen Jiagui walking in a hurry under the leadership of the eunuch.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Taohong's background has been found out." Chen Jiagui stopped in front of Wu Nian, bowed and saluted, and told Wu Nian the information he had investigated.
At that time, Wu Nian assigned the Ouchi guards to handle the matter, and this task eventually fell on the Imperial City Secretary.
Inquiring about information is still the specialty of the Imperial City Division.
After hearing this, Wu Nian had a look of astonishment on his face, then shook his head and said, "What a scum."
"Bring the guards with you. I want to see with my own eyes." Wu Nian handed the red tassel gun to the eunuch beside him, clapped his hands and went to the palace.
"yes."
The eunuch bowed in response. immediately. Wu Nian first sent someone to tell Liu Xiang, then changed his outfit in the palace, and took Chen Jiagui, Baihu Ouchi guards and other few people out of the palace.
The team walked along the street for a long time and stopped at the entrance of a temple.
Wu Nian and Chen Jiagui were sitting in the carriage.
Wu Nian opened the car curtain and looked at Xiangguo Temple ahead.
This temple is the largest temple in the capital, no, probably in the country. It was conferred by the royal family of Chu State. The temple is full of incense.
Monks with fat heads and big ears came and went.
One by one, ladies and ladies, with the support of their maids, entered the temple to pay homage. Before leaving, they gave a lot of incense money.
In front of Xiangguo Temple, there are vendors everywhere. There were people selling food and incense and candles, and it was very lively.
"Your Majesty, the monks of Xiangguo Temple run the temple as an industry. The lot in front of this door and the stalls of small vendors must pay money to Xiangguo Temple."
Chen Jiagui said in a deep voice.
"Haha. They are more powerful than me. The tax of me is not collected by the small traders." Wu Nian laughed and said.
No matter where you are, the magic stick is the most profitable.
No matter what religion you are from, there are a lot of people who are willing to give money.
Buddhism says.
There is an afterlife.
Who doesn’t want to buy himself rich first in the next life?
Bribe the Buddha.
When Wu Nian was in Liaodong, he vigorously renovated temples and Taoist temples. The religion of Liaodong is very well-behaved and behaves with its tail between its legs.
He entered Hebei to rectify the official administration and went to Shanxi to control the Yellow River and Loess Plateau.
Forget about these fat monks.
They are in darkness.
