Fang Zheng took a sip of tea with a smile, stretched out his hand and said, "Master Xu, you might as well finish reading before talking."
Xu Wenshu broke into a cold sweat and read one after another.
Every time I look at a picture, my hands tremble.
The sheets of paper recorded here are all famous people in the court, and the contents turned out to be their family's various industries in Beijing.
The detail of the content was staggering. Even if he was in the household department to understand some of the situation, it was not as clear as what was recorded on the letterhead.
The most important thing is that his family is among them, and they are exactly the same...
After reading all the content, Xu Wenshu felt a lot heavier. He raised his head and said, "Master Fang, what do you mean?"
Fang Zhengyi smiled slightly: "It's not interesting."
"You see, our officials in Dajing keep saying they look down on merchants. But privately, they all have their own businesses. What I show you today is just the tip of the iceberg."
"I remember that there should be a rule in Dajing law that officials and their relatives are not allowed to do business. The thing to guard against is collusion between officials and businessmen to gain power. If the things collected by Jin Yiwei are known to the outside world, it will probably be the biggest scandal in Dajing, right? "
This is an unspoken rule that is kept secret. Everyone knows it, so why are you, Fang Zhengyi, so enthusiastic about it?
Xu Wenshu said with difficulty: "What do you mean? Is it just to open a pilot project to ease business?"
"Haha, it's a bit presumptuous to say it, but it's just for this matter. The Jin Yiwei fights against lawlessness, and the courtiers and the people compete for profits. Of course I have to find a way to solve it." Fang Zheng said with a smile.
"Sir Xu, I started from Taoyuan County, and I understand the power of merchants all too well. Today is when business is on the rise, why not be a promoter? Times have changed, and you and I may not be able to see how difficult it was for our predecessors before long. Achievable prosperity!"
Xu Wenshu's eyelids twitched a few times, and he suddenly felt particularly aggrieved.
I thought that Fang Zhengyi was just a shameless person, but I didn't expect that he was still a delusional person.
Have times changed? What kind of onion are you?
"Master Fang, why don't you just go directly to the Ming Sage? The memorial has been written. What do you want to say to me?"
"Sir Xu, please stop pretending. If I react to the music, will I still come to you? Just tell me whether you can help me or not. As long as you open Chrysostom, I don't think it will be difficult for the court to just open it for a trial." Fangzheng said in a nonchalant manner. The way.
Xu Hongcai stared at him with curiosity. The man in front of him gave him an indescribably special feeling.
Seeing that the words had been spoken, Xu Wen pulled his face and pushed the letter in front of Fang Zhengyi: "I won't help! I said this matter is naturally easier to handle, but what should other people think of me? You think so! "
As soon as Fang Zheng pushed the letter back to Xu Wenshu, he whispered: "Aren't you afraid that I will make this information public? Let the world see how hypocritical our high officials in the DPRK are?"
Xu Wenshu sneered: "I'm afraid it's not me who is afraid, but you, Mr. Fang. If this letter becomes known to everyone, everyone will know that Jin Yiwei is secretly monitoring the courtiers, and then everyone will be afraid of you and isolate you. Then you will be I don’t believe you dare to offend everyone.”
"If it really comes to that, His Majesty might abolish the Imperial Guards?"
threaten me?
Fang Zhengyi's smile froze on his face, and he suddenly slammed the table.
This sudden move confused Xu Wenshu and his son.
The smile on Fang Zhengyi's face has disappeared: "Master Xu, I think you have all forgotten what Jin Yiwei does."
"Scout hundreds of officials, apprehend unworthy ministers; be in charge of prisons, interrogations and executions. When I first took over the Imperial Guard, all of you were worried that I would take personal revenge in this position. But it turns out that I have been following you all for such a long time. We live in peace and harmony, even if someone dislikes me or disagrees with me, I will ignore it."
"Even if...someone scolds me behind my back, I don't care at all." At this point, Fang Zheng turned to look at Xu Hongcai: "Xiao Xu, has your father ever scolded me?"
Xu Hongcai didn't expect that the conversation would suddenly turn to him, but thinking that his father had just finished scolding him a few days ago, he hesitated nervously: "No... I definitely didn't scold him. Mr. Fang, you are overthinking."
"That's just scolding."
"..."
Xu Wenshu blushed: "Master Fang, don't talk nonsense without evidence. Don't scare the child when he is still young."
Fang Zheng ignored him and continued: "You should be happy that I am sitting in this seat! To tell you the truth, Jinyiwei never does anything illegal. Those officials' properties are all explored and analyzed from the market. Bottom line. Anyone can do it if they’re willing to put in the time and effort.”
"What if this position is replaced by a simple and rough person who can only obey orders? Mr. Xu, you might as well think about it, what will happen then?"
"Maybe your domestic servant is no longer a domestic servant, but a royal guard. Your son is no longer your son, but he may be a royal guard..."
Fang Zhengyi's eyes turned to Xu Hongcai again, and Xu Hongcai felt that the hair on his body stood up at the sight of him.
Xu Wen's book is filled with sadness.
What Fang Zhengyi said is indeed true. On weekdays, they would have some dealings with the Jin Yiwei. Most of the Jin Yiwei who came to their door were polite and neatly dressed, making people fall in love with them when they saw them. They also had a good reputation among the people.
On the other hand, the quality of Dongchang Fanzi is far inferior, and he can say that he will do whatever it takes to get the case done.
Everyone still has no objection to Fang Zhengyi on this point, but no one thinks that he is doing well. After all, Jin Yiwei has been like this since he appeared.
Everyone took it for granted that Jin Yiwei should be like this.
Now that Fang Zhengyi mentioned it, he suddenly realized.
The Jinyiwei is supposed to be a violent organization that works for the emperor's personal affairs and uses any means necessary... Gentleness should never be its characteristic, unless the leader is deliberately guiding...
Xu Wenshu moved his lips twice, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.
Seeing the difference in his expression, Fang Zhengyi smiled and said, "Actually, you should all thank me, because I have always protected my colleagues in the DPRK and China."
"Protect your right to speak in court and protect your freedom from fear."
"With the popularity of Jinyiwei, it is impossible to abolish it, but I am afraid it will not be beneficial to everyone if I go down. At best, everyone will lose."
"What's more, it doesn't matter even if I have nothing! What should I be afraid of? I am the consort, Your Majesty is my father, and I eat the royal food. Wouldn't it be nice for him to lie down at home?"
"So, guess whether I dare to put these things out!"
Xu Wenshu was still thinking in his heart, but when Fang Zhengyi said such shameless words, he sighed helplessly: "Master Fang, I have convinced you, why don't you change someone else? Isn't your uncle better than me?"
