Luo Guanhua!
Zhu Yunwen looked at Liu Changge and ordered sternly: "I led people to seal down all the mines of the Luo family and the Guo family, investigate the matter clearly, and send all the account books to Jurong! I will try them there!"
Liu Changge agreed and left with more than 600 people.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the pale hillside being driven out, and asked his father-in-law Zhang Jian: "Is it true that if you don't work, your health will be better?"
Zhang Jian nodded repeatedly. It was indeed true, especially when he breathed in the breeze in the mountains and lost the limestone dust. He felt much better and the number of coughs became less.
"You probably don't have tuberculosis, but rather lung disease caused by dust inhalation. For more details, you need to go to the Imperial College and ask the doctor at the medical school. There are some miners there who have the same bad coughs as you. I will go to the capital with you."
Zhu Yunwen pointed to a group of miners not far away who did not leave.
Zhang Jian knelt down and said movedly: "The common people have thanked the Emperor."
Zhu Yunwen waved his hand: "I failed to manage the mine well and neglected to restrain the royal family, which led to what happened today. Go ahead and summon you after I return to the capital."
Zhang Jian kowtowed and left.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Guo Da, Guo Nan and others, and signaled Tang Buping to let them go. They did not actually participate in the management of the mine in the Guo family, and it was unjustifiable to accuse them.
“Let’s go to Jurong!”
Zhu Yunwen was in a very depressed mood.
The problem in the mine was much more serious than I expected. Behind this incident, it sounded a wake-up call for myself. If the problem in the mine could not be completely solved, then the Ming Dynasty's "Mine Uprising" would be a matter of time.
Because of Concubine Shu, the Luo family and the Guo family managed the mine under the guise of the royal family. Now that there are so many problems, it is impossible for them to continue to control the mine!
But the question is, how to manage the mine?
Who stays in this position, who doesn't do evil, who can always be obedient? After discussing with Yang Shiqi and Tie Xuan, there was no appropriate solution.
Jurong County.
Benefiting from the rich limestone minerals, some people's homes in Jurong have become much more prosperous. In addition, the year-round traffic of caravans has created Jurong's prosperity.
After walking two streets in the city, I heard a burst of crying. I followed the sound and saw a woman and two children deep in the alley, wearing sackcloth and mourning, crying bitterly.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Guo Da and Guo Nan: "Do the people in Jurong cry against the wall when someone dies at home?"
The two of them turned pale and shook their heads quickly.
Zhu Yunwen gave Tang Buping instructions. Not long after, Tang Buping bought a roll of burning paper. Zhu Yunwen took Tang Buping and Yang Shiqi into the alley with the burning paper. Seeing the woman crying heartbrokenly, he sighed secretly and leaned over. Said: "I also want to pay tribute to some people, can you lend me a favor?"
The woman looked at Zhu Yunwen with tears in her eyes and nodded.
Zhu Yunwen opened the roll, ignited it, threw the roll under the wall, sat down cross-legged, and thought it was burned to the dead miners.
The woman looked at Zhu Yunwen doubtfully several times. After the paper was burned to ashes, she couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you cry?"
Zhu Yunwen looked at the ashes and replied in a low voice: "Because the mourners haven't arrived yet. It's not enough for one person to cry alone."
The woman wiped her tears and said, "Have you received the money?"
"Pick up the money?"
Zhu Yunwen looked at the woman in confusion, shook his head and said, "I didn't receive any money. Will someone give me money?"
The woman stood up and gritted her teeth and said, "The Guo family is giving us money, and we are not allowed to make trouble. Officials from the county government have called us several times, and even issued an order, saying that if we dare to go out to make trouble again, we will be killed." Drive out Jurong. It’s a pity that my man left like this, leaving us orphans and widowed mothers to be bullied!”
"One hundred guan for a life? This price is not low. The Guo family is so rich. Did you accept the money?"
Zhu Yunwen took a deep breath.
I have to say that the Guo family's handiwork is indeed astonishing. You must know that during the Hongwu period, a sergeant's life, if he was lucky, would cost him eight coins, but if he was not lucky, he would get two or three coins. Even though Zhu Yunwen reformed the military system and the pension for sergeants killed in battle was greatly increased, it was not like giving out a hundred coins at once. Among the people, one hundred guan is indeed enough to buy a life. After the man dies, the money is enough for the woman to raise her child.
However, money cannot buy human life, nor can it be equated with human life!
The woman shook her head and gritted her teeth and said, "I don't want their dirty money, I want to file a complaint!"
"Complain? Go to the county government?"
Zhu Yunwen frowned.
The woman looked deeply at Zhu Yunwen: "You are not from Jurong, are you?"
"Where did you see it?"
"Who in Jurong doesn't know that the county government, the Guo family, and the Luo family wear the same pair of trousers! What will happen if I complain to them? I'm going to the capital to complain!"
The woman was resolute and determined.
Zhu Yunwen sighed and said, "You might as well wait a little longer. If you go to the capital, you won't be able to see the emperor for a while."
The woman suddenly became angry: "Who is looking for the evil emperor? If it weren't for him, would my man die? The limestone mine ate my man, and he is also an accomplice!"
Zhu Yunwen couldn't refute that the deaths of those miners were indeed related to him. He sighed and asked, "Then who are you going to find in the capital?"
The woman raised her head and looked at the sky: "I heard that in the whole world, there are only two people who dare to go against the emperor's relatives, one is named Song Zhengchen, and the other is named Zhou Zhixin. I have inquired, Song Zhengchen is out of town, and Zhou Zhixin Xin is in the capital, I plan to complain to him, he will definitely help me."
Zhu Yunwen nodded. It seemed that these two people had quite a reputation among the people.
Needless to say, Song Zhengchen was a guy who crawled out from the dead in Qingzhou Prefecture. He was unyielding and persisted in fighting against the King of Qi. He had been practicing outside in the past few years. He was a decent man and had an honest style. He single-handedly killed many local officials. Not long after, Geng Bingwen was impeached in Shandong, saying that Geng Bingwen mobilized the soldiers of the garrison without authorization and had the intention of treason. Geng Bingwen was so frightened that he wrote three memorials in succession to explain, insisting that only ninety-nine people were mobilized, definitely not more than a hundred. No reporting is required.
It is estimated that it won't be long before Geng Bingwen will send his fourth memorial, along with a letter of dedication.
Zhou Zhixin was even more courageous. He arrested and impeached everyone from the cabinet to the prince. His nickname of cold face and cold iron was not earned for nothing. The people liked this kind of person.
Zhu Yunwen thought for a while, Ming Dynasty needs a few "Qingtian" who may not have the surname Bao. These two are good people. They can make their influence greater. Send them to travel more places, maybe they can dig out many cases. It will not cause the problem of backlog in Jurong mine for many years.
Just these two people, Song Zhengchen and Zhou Zhixin, are too few. There are not a few honest people in the court, but there are really not many who are not afraid of offending others, dare to fight, and have the ability to do things. Like Hai Rui is stubborn and there are fewer black and white people in the world...
"You're looking for cold-faced cold iron Zhou Zhixin, so there's no need to go to the capital."
Zhu Yunwen also stood up.
"Why?"
The woman took the child and took a step back.
Zhu Yunwen turned aside, pointed at Yang Shiqi, and said to the woman, "Then, he is Zhou Zhixin, from the capital."
"he?"
The woman looked at Yang Shiqi.
Yang Shiqi almost choked to death on his saliva, and looked at Zhu Yunqi depressedly. I am Yang Shiqi, the Minister of Rites, and you want me to pretend to be the Censor?
"Yes, I am Zhou Zhixin."
Yang Shiqi looked at Zhu Yunqi's undiscussed eyes and had no choice but to stand and "change his name."
The woman looked at Yang Shiqi in surprise, unable to believe it.
Yang Shiqi cleared his throat and said solemnly: "I have fought against Xie Jin, impeached Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, and fought wits with hundreds of officials in the Fengtian Palace. If you have any grievances, just sue me. To tell you the truth, today's sentence, They were also entrusted by the emperor to investigate the case of the Guo family and the Luo family mine. If it is found that they really took people's lives and acted as an accomplice, they will definitely write a memorial and report it to the emperor!"
The woman was fluent in Mandarin, so she had no choice but to believe her. She knelt down with her child in hand and cried, accusing the Guo family of beating up her own man. After paying thirty taels of hush money, she teamed up with criminal thieves to steal the family property and beat her man alive. die.
Every incident is stained with blood.
Yang Shiqi felt panicked after hearing this, and Zhu Yunwen finally understood that the Guo family had a very big cancer. It was only because of Guo Feier that the Guo family had the status of a royal relative, and they were so bold. To this extent?
"I will definitely make the decision for you, get up quickly."
Yang Shiqi quickly lifted the person up, then looked at Zhu Yunwen and asked, "Are you going to the county government or Guo's house?"
Zhu Yunwen shook his head: "The county government is no longer clean, the Guo family is even more unclean, and the Luo family can't go. Let's find an inn to rest. It won't take long for someone to come to our door."
Yang Shiqi nodded.
The Dazhuo mine was closed, Guo Hai was detained, the miners left, and the merchant ships on the river were also forced to leave. It was difficult not to leak the news that Zhu Yunwen had arrived in Jurong. Whether it was the county government, the Guo family, or the Luo family, there was no need for it. It won't take long for you to get the news, and when the time comes, those who apologize and those who wish to pay your respects will all come.
"You guys should follow me to the inn."
Yang Shiqi said to the woman.
The woman had no doubt or hesitation, nodded in agreement, and followed Zhu Yunwen and others out of the alley with her child. However, when the woman saw Guo Da and Guo Nan, she immediately wanted to run away. She pointed at the two and shouted: "They are from the Guo family." , they killed my man!"
Zhu Yunwen glanced at Tang Buping, who raised his foot and kicked Guo Da and Guo Nan each, and shouted: "Let's go!"
Yang Shiqi understood and reassured: "They are guilty and I caught them."
The woman was relieved.
In the inn, Zhu Yunwen was lying on the bed with a slight headache. He had worked all day during the day yesterday, had a fight at night, and checked the accounts all night. He was busy until noon today when he entered Jurong. He had not rested for a long time, so People are sleepy.
But one incident after another left Zhu Yunwen with no sleep at all. How many problems there are in the Luo family mine is worrying. If things get out of hand and the Luo family suffers again, what will happen to Luo Yaner and Luo Guanying?
Just when Zhu Yunwen closed his eyes to rest, there was a knock on the door.
Zhu Yunwen stood up, sat on the bed, and shouted: "Come in."
Tang Buping hurried over and handed over an urgent document: "Your Majesty, there is news about Pang Huan and Prince Ning."
Zhu Yunwen took the document and asked while opening it: "How is the investigation at the Luojia Mine? Is there any result?"
Tang Buping understood Zhu Yunwen's worries: "Commander Liu Shi has not come back yet, it should take some time."
Zhu Yunwen unfolded the document, looked at it for a few times, folded it up, and asked, "Does anyone know the content of this document?"
Tang Buping shook his head: "Except for Prince Ning and Pang Huan, no one knows about it. The most trustworthy people in the Security Bureau are responsible for this line of letters and reports. Without other people's hands, this document was transferred as soon as it arrived in the capital. To Jurong.”
Zhu Yunwen lit a candle, burned the document to ashes, then stepped on it, and said seriously: "Chen Zuyi colluded with the Japanese, and Chen Zuyi's strength has grown a lot. Now, his ambitions have expanded."
Look at Daming: I was reborn as Zhu Yunwen, so I remembered the domain name:
