My Brother-in-law is the Prince

  Chapter 83 Chapter Eighty-Three: Copying all the doors (7,000-character chapter)

  Zhu Di looked amiable at this moment, and said with a smile: "You don't have to rush to say it, and I'm not in a hurry, just cry."

  The quiet crying stopped abruptly.

   It was as if a person had returned to the light, and at this moment of silence, he unexpectedly calmed down.

  He enunciated clearly: "What I do...is the business of reselling grain."

   Zhu Di remained silent.

   Grain merchants... Obviously, it is not a serious crime, after all, there is no such thing as prohibiting the sale of grain in the king's law.

  Shen Jing continued: "Often when a disaster occurs somewhere, the grassroots... the grassroots will use the relationship..."

   Zhu Di asked curiously, "What's the relationship?"

   "Caomin is a family in the south of the Yangtze River, and they have some foundations. The relationship between classmates, teachers and students... from the same hometown can be used."

  Zhu Di looked cold, but he didn't say anything.

  So Shen Jing continued: "After finding a relationship and making an agreement with the local people, a large amount of grain will be sent to the disaster-stricken prefectures and counties, and the price will be ten times or a hundred times... sold..."

  As soon as this remark came out, there was only a muffled sound, and Liu Rang fell headlong.

  Liu Rang fell heavily on the ground, and then regained consciousness, so he quickly got up again, and immediately said: "No, no, transporting food to the disaster area is definitely not a serious crime, it is alleviating the disaster... There is nothing wrong with it."

  He was in a hurry.

  Zhu Di still smiled and said nothing.

   Shen Jing has a mournful face, like a dead mother.

  For him, it is better to say it later than to say it sooner, because there is no way to hide it.

  With a sad face, he said truthfully: "If you want to sell ten times or a hundred times more food, you must ensure that the victims are short of food. If there is no shortage of food, how can you sell it at such a high price?"

   "So it is often necessary to bribe people and prohibit other grain ships, and the court's disaster relief grain must be delayed as much as possible. The delayed relief grain can also be included in other losses."

  Zhu Di's complexion has changed suddenly, and his elbow resting on the desk can't help shaking.

I saw Shen Jing continued: "Only when people are hungry and people around them starve to death, those desperate people will willingly take out their own family assets, and will rush to take out the last copper coin in the family to buy food, and starve to death first." Those who have no money will starve to death from now on, and those who have less money will starve to death, and then..."

  Liu Rang's body was like a sieve, and his eyes were red, but in fact he was completely impatient.

I saw Liu Rang shaking his hands, pointing at Shen Jing and yelling: "What nonsense are you talking about, what nonsense are you talking about, do you know the consequences of your nonsense? Do you have any grievances? Did someone force you to say this... "

  Shen Jing is prostrate on the ground. He is actually very calm at this time, and it is impossible to be calm. How many people in the family can die depends on him now.

He suppressed the fear in his heart, kowtowed his head like pounding garlic and said: "Liu Rang... I know that he has been here with people from the Ministry of Punishment before, and he also talked about old feelings with me. It was my classmate, when we drank water and wine, after a few glasses of wine, he claimed that I was innocent and would seek justice for me, and said...he would impeach Zhang An and others..."

  Liu Rang staggered and took two steps back. He looked at Shen Jing in disbelief.

  After hearing Shen Jing's words, Zhu Di smiled, but said: "With this, you earned 1.2 million taels of silver?"

  Zhu Di doesn't care what Liu Rang said anymore, he just wants to know what he wants to know now.

  Shen Jing can be described as extremely honest now, he tremblingly said: "There are other businesses too, this is a business that has been managed for generations..."

  Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said, "Did Emperor Taizu have it?"

  Shen Jing said truthfully: "I acted very carefully at that time, but... when my father was around, I did do some things."

   Zhu Di was curious about one thing, and said, "But why do people from all over the country call you a good person?"

Shen Jing said: "Caomin... did build bridges and roads, and built a few schools, helping many scholars. If there are bones and remains that are not picked up within a radius of ten miles, they will teach people to clean them up and send them to Yizhuang. burial..."

  Zhu Di said: "I never thought that you are really kind?"

  Shen Jing tremblingly said: "People who do such things have kind hearts, otherwise they will not sleep well every day..."

  Hearing this, Zhu Di finally stood up again, looked around, and said, "You are here today, what do you say?"

  The truth came out, and the truth came out.

  At this time, Zhu Di's eyes fell on a person, and said: "Zhang Anshi."

  Zhang Anshi stepped forward and said, "The minister is here."

  Zhu Di said: "Tell me, why did you bomb Shenjiazhuang?"

  Zhang Anshi said hesitantly: "Truth or lie?"

  Zhu Di only uttered two words: "Truth."

  Zhang An Shidao: "The thing is like this, I actually found out about some things about the Shen family at the shipping company, but there is no evidence. It's just that I think the matter is important, so I quickly reported to my brother-in-law..."

  Zhu Gaochi was taken aback, and looked at Zhang Anshi in surprise.

Zhang Anshi continued: "My brother-in-law was also very worried when he heard about it. I'm afraid it won't be easy to investigate. The Shen family has been in business for so long and hasn't been exposed. How could they find out easily? It's just a matter of great importance, so we can only If you do something extraordinary, then... just make it a big deal, the bigger the trouble, the better, the bigger the trouble, the more people will pay attention!"

   "So...the minister dared to blow up the Shen family's Zhuangzi directly. Of course, Zhu Yong, Zhang Fu, and Qiu Song also contributed to this, and they worked tirelessly..."

  Hearing this, Zhu Di waved his hands: "Okay, I know what's going on."

Immediately, Zhu Di's eyes fell on Liu Rang: "Zhang Anshi said, he did this because he knew that you people would be vegetarians, and that you would protect the Shen family. It seems that you didn't disappoint Zhang Anshi. You really are such a person. "

  This can be described as full of irony!

  Liu Rang's face was ashen, but he could no longer refute it. Qiqi Ai said: "It's the minister's negligence... Please punish the minister's crime of negligence..."

  Seeing that Zhu Di was furious, he suddenly picked up the stone pen holder on the public case, and threw it at Liu Rang.

Snapped…

  The stone pen holder was impartial, and hit Liu Rang's cheek. Liu Rang was in pain, covered his face, and let out a scream, and soon his cheek was swollen.

  Zhu Di gritted his teeth and said: "Is it just negligence? It's just your so-called negligence, how many people have been killed? Because of your negligence, the government's food relief, instead of saving people, has enriched countless officials."

"Didn't you always talk about justice? Don't you always talk about the world? At this time, you actually told me that you were negligent? If someone else, maybe you could be negligent, but your mouth is full of sages People, how can they be worthy of the word negligent!"

  Liu Rang was terrified, and hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground, covered his face and said, "Chen...Chen..."

Before he could say anything further, Zhu Di said coldly: "It seems that you still don't know how to repent. It can be seen that the tragic situation of the victims is nothing in your heart! That's fine, come here, arrest Liu's family, etc., go up and down Young and old, the men were exiled to Qiongzhou as military slaves, and the women served as the priests of the Jiaofang, let his whole family taste the hardships of ordinary people, and teach them that they will not be able to get over from life to life!"

  After hearing this, Liu Rang shuddered violently, and said anxiously: "Why did your majesty harm your wife and children with this minister's crime?"

Zhu Di's expression remained unchanged and he said: "When you were prosperous, didn't your wife and children also follow you? How many people have been killed because of your so-called negligence, not to mention if I believed your evil words, how many people would this An Shi look like?" Aren't you also victimized by your false accusation?"

   "You only think that your family has suffered innocent disasters, why don't you think about it, because there are people like dogs like you, how many people will suffer?"

  Speaking of this, Zhu Di didn't want to spend any more time with such a person, and ordered in a deep voice: "Come here, take it down, don't rush to kill this person, first send him to prison and punish him slowly."

  After listening to Liu Rang, he felt that his head was a little dizzy. He wanted to say forgiveness, but before he could say anything, he was unceremoniously dragged out.

  The hall was silent.

  Zhu Di said again: "As for Shen Jing... I think he is honest, he has done some good deeds on weekdays, and he has confessed to his guilt, so... let's deal with it lightly."

  Zhu Di paused, then said: "Don't destroy his three clans, let's punish his whole family, young and old, himself... Ling Chi!"

  Hearing this, Shen Jing's face was so pale that there was no blood on it, and he fell down, unconscious.

  Zhu Di specially added another sentence: "Search his house, not a single copper coin can be missed."

  ...

   Actually Zhu Di was very angry.

   What angered him was that someone dared to do such a thing under his nose.

   What's even more frightening is that the Shen family has been doing this for so many years, and he's only now finding out.

  If it weren't for the huge disturbance this time, I'm afraid he will be kept in the dark for the rest of his life.

   Unfortunately, he hasn't spent all his time thinking about how to give relief, but it turns out that all his efforts are useless!

  There is only one Shen family, and all the means he used to provide relief have all failed.

  It is tolerable, which is unbearable.

  However, Yishiha knows that the more angry Zhu Di is, the surface is calm, but at this time, he is often silent, and occasionally the corner of his mouth twitches, but most of the time he is sullen.

   If you sum it up more carefully, it is probably that if His Majesty is suddenly polite to him, even if he pours a cup of tea for His Majesty, and His Majesty says hard work, then His Majesty must have wanted to kill someone.

  And if His Majesty talked about other people's mothers, getting one today and another tomorrow, it doesn't mean that His Majesty is in a good mood, at least when he is by his side, he doesn't worry about it, which means His Majesty is in a good mood.

  Now Yi Shiha poured a cup of tea and served it carefully.

  Zhu Di had driven back to the palace at this time, sat in the newly renovated Wenlou, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said to Chao Yishi: "You have worked hard."

  Yi Shiha's heart was raised immediately, and he hurriedly said cautiously: "Slave...it should be."

  Zhu Di put down the teacup, but said, "What are Zhang Anshi doing?"

  Yi Shiha said cautiously: "Why don't you ask this servant?"

  Zhu Di nodded.

Yishiha hurried out of the Wenlou, waited for half an hour, and came back panting, saying: "Your Majesty, Jinyiwei... Hurry up and report that Zhang Anshi brought Zhu Yong, Zhang Fu, and Qiu Song , since the imperial trial, he has rolled up his bed and wants to live in the warehouse of Qixia Temple."

"Ah..." Zhu Di had just picked up the teacup. When he heard this, he looked surprised, and the tea splashed out with a shake of his hand. Fortunately, it was the tea served by Yi Shiha half an hour ago, and it was already cold. .

  Ke Yi Shiha's expression changed, and he hurriedly said in trepidation: "Your servant will die."

   After finishing speaking, I have to go forward and wipe it for Zhu Di.

  Zhu Di waved his hand indifferently, and said, "What are they going to do?"

Yishiha truthfully said, "Someone asked, and many people asked. First, it was Wucheng Bingmasi, then Yingtianfu, and Beizhen Fusi... They said...no one is allowed to enter or leave this warehouse. , Said it was stolen goods confiscated, and they were worried about whoever came to confiscate it, the outsiders were all bad, and said that no one was allowed to enter or leave this treasury except His Majesty."

  Zhu Di: "..."

   This made Zhu Di a little messed up.

  But after a while, Zhu Di couldn't help but said: "Damn it, these guys... do such irrelevant things all day long."

  Yi Shiha heard it, and knew that His Majesty's mood had improved a lot. He breathed a sigh of relief, and said while the iron was hot: "Although they are ignorant, they are sincere..."

   "Of course I mean it sincerely." Zhu Di said, "That Zhang Anshi, apart from his love of messing around and spreading rumors, everything else is fine."

   As he spoke, Zhu Di stood up, took a few steps, and then said again: "Damn, if you let them keep guarding like this, how will Yousi search? It's not an option if you continue like this."

  Yi Shiha said: "How about, Your Majesty orders someone who is close and trustworthy..."

  Zhu Di said: "Forget it, I want to go there myself."

  Zhu Di is like an eagle, he does not want to be trapped in the palace. In his heart, the palace is like a big cage.

   Just do what you say.

  Zhu Di traveled lightly, with only a team of guards, and first went to the Confucius Temple wharf to board the ship.

  The ships here are almost all black flags now.

  Just when I was about to board the boat, I was driven off by the boatman: "Go buy a ticket, go buy a ticket, and board the boat with the ticket."

  Zhu Di was speechless for a while, and turned to look at the guards.

  The guard was taken aback, and hurriedly followed the boatman's instructions and went to a small building on the pier.

   Immediately afterwards, they brought more than a dozen tickets.

   This ticket is pretty decent, as big as a thumb, with a serial number written on it.

  Zhu Di frowned: "If you just pay, you'll be fine, and you'll have to deal with these vain people."

The guard who bought the ticket had no choice but to say in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I went down and asked about it. He said that the money and the ticket have to be separated, and the boatman can't pass the money in his hand. The purpose is to prevent the boatman from being greedy and intercepting it. So the ticket seller collects the money, and the boatman Tickets are collected here, and based on the number of tickets sold, the passengers boarding the ship can be calculated, so...you don’t have to worry about someone messing around and embezzling the shipping company’s money.”

  After hearing what the guard said, Zhu Di thought about it carefully, then looked down at the ticket number on hand, his eyes lit up.

  So he couldn't help saying: "Interesting, interesting, I didn't think of this level, the person who can come up with this idea, I really want to saw his head open to see."

  The guard said: "Your Majesty, I heard that this is a business from Marquis Wu'an..."

  Zhu Di just smiled and said nothing, took the ticket number, and boarded the boat.

   waited for the boat to arrive at the ferry of Qixia Temple.

   Zhu Di went ashore a few times, and then came to the warehouse not far away.

   Far away... I saw three teenagers guarding outside the warehouse.

  Zhu Yong was holding a mace, walking back and forth as if showing off his power, watching everyone who wanted to approach with vigilance.

   Zhang Fu held a knife in his hand, as if he was extremely bored, and he was playing with the knife at this time, vigorously.

   Only Qiu Song stood there, motionless, like a wooden stake.

   But if you look carefully, you will find that Qiu Song's lethality is actually the greatest.

  Uh... Around his neck, there is a string of explosive packs hanging. Of course, they are not gunpowder packs as big as a millstone, but probably as big as a plate.

  Zhu Di saw it, and thought it was a good guy.

   So much so that Zhu Di stopped, not daring to approach for a while.

  That kid is a bit stupid, and even Zhu Di doesn't guarantee that this guy will react violently when he sees someone suddenly.

  So it is better for the prophet to speak.

   also lost his understanding, and hurried up to inform.

  These three teenagers heard the news, and the first reaction was not to come to see you, but immediately screamed: "Big Brother, Big Brother... Your Majesty is coming, Your Majesty is coming..."

  Zhu Di couldn't help being speechless, I came here in disguise, what's your **** name.

  So he couldn't bear it anymore and strode forward.

  Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu pulled Qiu Song, and then came to see him.

   "See Your Majesty."

  Zhu Di glared at them: "What are you doing here?"

  Zhu Yong said: "Guard the warehouse."

  Zhu Di said: "Did you have nothing to do?"

  Zhang Fu first said straightforwardly: "Isn't it just that I have nothing to do?"

  After speaking, Zhang Fu felt that he had slipped his words, and immediately fell silent again.

  Zhu Di originally saw these three guys, and just felt a little warmth in his heart, but now it's gone.

  For some reason, when I saw these three guys, I felt itchy and wanted to beat them up.

  Zhu Di said with a sullen face: "I ordered you to study at Hu Qing's house, why don't you go?"

  Qiu Song proudly said with his chest straight: "Master Hu said that we have already graduated, and there is no one in the world who is more knowledgeable than us."

  Zhu Di gritted his back teeth, and finally forced a smile: "Where is Zhang Anshi?"

"Brother?" Zhu Yong seemed to be afraid that other people would say something wrong, and immediately rushed to answer: "Brother is studying in the warehouse. The elder brother said, no, the elder brother is serious about studying. He taught us that although he has learned something , but you can’t be proud and complacent, learning is your own business, as the saying goes, there is no limit to learning and hard work..."

  Zhu Di stared: "Go away."

   "Oh." Zhu Yong wittily held up the mace and stepped out of the way.

  Zhu Di strode to the warehouse, and Yi Shiha trotted to open the door.

  When Zhu Di entered the warehouse, he was stunned by the sight in front of him.

  Anyone who enters here will be shocked to see so much gold and silver, even Zhu Di... is no exception.

  Especially at this time, a few oil lamps were lit in the warehouse.

  The light from this oil lamp refracted on the metals that filled the warehouse, making the gold and silver here shine brightly, so dazzling that Zhu Di couldn't take his eyes off.

   "Damn the Shen family!" Zhu Di couldn't help scolding in his heart.

  But immediately, Zhu Di suddenly felt very at ease.

  Because... the silver seems to be his.

  Zhu Di tried his best to look away from the gold and silver, and then he saw a young man leaning against the oil lamp, holding a book in his hand, sitting upright, his eyes were concentrating on the book, and he was completely motionless.

  Under the reflection of gold and silver, the young man showed his side face in high spirits, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, handsome and handsome, giving people a sense of nobility and Qinghua.

  Zhu Di lost his mind for a moment.

   Immediately... couldn't help cursing: "Stop pretending, you think I don't know what kind of person you Zhang Anshi is."

  Zhang Anshi: "..."

  He closed the book, turned around, and looked surprised: "Ah, why is your majesty here? I can't go far to meet your majesty. It's really dead."

  Although it was punctured.

  However, it is necessary to perform a complete set of acting, which is the self-cultivation of an actor. Even at this time, Zhang Anshi still abides by his professional ethics.

  Zhang Anshi put down his book and hurried to see the ceremony.

  Zhu Di squinted at him, but remained silent.

  Zhang Anshi was not embarrassed, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister was indeed reading a book."

"Um."

   "I think reading is really useful, reading can make you understand, reading can make you clear..."

"Oh."

   "Your Majesty is not feeling well, or... I will help you to see."

  Zhu Di waved his hand, stepped to the place where Zhang Anshi had just been sitting, and sat down. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw four bedclothes rolled up in the corner of the warehouse, and then looked at the desk, which turned out to be a piece of "Spring and Autumn".

  Zhu Di said: "Do you still look at the Spring and Autumn Period?"

   This is obviously unbelievable.

  Zhang Anshi said: "Just take a look."

  Zhu Di did not continue this topic, but pointed to the gold and silver in the warehouse: "Is this the gold and silver I want to confiscate?"

"Exactly." Zhang Anshi said: "The gold and silver have not decreased in the slightest. I am here to let your Majesty watch over me. I am afraid that someone will make up my mind. People nowadays are too bad. I am thinking that I am a brother... no If you are relatives, if your majesty is not here to watch over you, your majesty may not be at ease in the palace."

  Zhu Di's face softened a lot, and he became easy-going, saying: "Come, sit down and talk."

   "Oh." Zhang Anshi was not polite, so he moved a small box and sat down.

  At this time, Zhu Dichao also winked at Shiha.

   also lost his understanding, and quickly quit.

  The oil lamp illuminated Zhu Di's gradually frowning face, and Zhu Di said worriedly: "How did you find out about the Shen family, tell the truth?"

Now that Zhu Di asked this question, Zhang Anshi didn't dare to hide it at this time, and said: "Your Majesty, Brother Shipping now has a thousand ships and 1,700 boatmen, and has opened up more than 70 ferry businesses. These ferry crossings They spread across Nanjing, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Songjiang, and Zhenjiang, covering half of Jiangdong."

Zhang Anshi paused, and then continued: "There are no less than 100,000 merchants and passengers that are transported every day. There are so many people traveling from south to north, and there are many people talking! The disadvantages of this person talking too much, but There is also the advantage of people talking too much. Some news... the minister will be well-informed. Especially when it comes to business matters, where the price of gauze has risen a bit, and where the business is not easy to do, you probably know a thing or two."

  Zhu Di was taken aback for a moment, and then showed surprise, and couldn't help saying: "Unexpectedly, this shipping has such an effect."

After thinking about it carefully, Zhu Di also understood that Zhang Anshi's words were true, so he said with emotion: "In this way, the ship industry has another advantage. If it wasn't for you, a person like Shen Jing would still get away with it When."

  Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "It's his bad luck, he happened to bump into me. Of course, it's also because of His Majesty's great luck. If not...I wouldn't have noticed it."

  Zhu Di was too lazy to correct Zhang Anshi's nonsense, but said with emotion: "It's just that I didn't even think that they would have such courage."

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty...everyone has greed. For the sake of huge profits, there will always be people who will trample on discipline and national laws. Even when Emperor Taizu Gao was here, he was so strict and could not sweep away these insects, so Your Majesty does not need to blame himself. "

Zhu Di said: "That's what I said, but my mother can't swallow it. But luckily I discovered it early. If not, wouldn't these gold and silver have fallen into their pockets? Anyway, this time you are Great job."

  Zhang Anshi hurriedly said: "I have no credit for it. In fact, it is Zhu Yong and the others who really contributed. They have tried their best this time, and even the minister admires them."

  Zhu Di smiled and said: "Since this is the case, then I will give you a reward together."

  Zhang Anshi was naturally elated, and said happily, "Minister..."

   It's just that he hasn't finished speaking.

  Zhu Di said: "I will give you ten thousand taels of silver, and Zhu Yong, Zhang Fu, and Qiu Song will give you five thousand taels of silver."

  Zhang Anshi: "..."

  Zhu Di said: "Why, you are not satisfied?"

  Zhang Anshi shook his head: "I don't dare, it's just that I think...Your Majesty should take the money to help the people. There is no shortage of money for the time being."

  Zhu Di said angrily: "If you decline the reward, it means you are dissatisfied with my reward."

  Zhang Anshi shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no, I definitely don't mean that."

Zhu Di stood up with a serious face, walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and said: "But... I really should reward you well. Originally, I thought that you are still young, so you will inevitably be proud of being favored, but after going through this time , I think you are very sensible."

  Zhu Di paused, obviously a little uncertain, and said in his mouth: "What should I reward you?"

Zhang Anshi was already happy in his heart, but he still had to put on a humble look when he should be modest, so he said respectfully on his face: "Your Majesty is too polite, I, Zhang Anshi, have no other skills. There are still many, or His Majesty will not reward you."

  Zhu Di stared at him, as if guessing in his heart, how much of what this guy said was true and how much was false.

It was Zhang Anshi who said abruptly: "By the way, Your Majesty, here are the accounts of the Shen family that were searched. Not only is there gold and silver in this storehouse, but... there are also several storehouses that store the grain they are going to sell at a high price... And some real estate, please take a look at it first..."

  Zhu Di immediately cheered up: "Bring it to me to have a look, and then I will reward you for your merits."

   Hearing that there was still food, Zhu Di's eyes lit up.

  ………

  The 3,000-word chapter seems to be a little less, and everyone is not satisfied with reading it, so starting today, although it is still 15,000 words, it will be divided into two chapters.

   Fifteen thousand words a day is the limit of an author, really.

  (end of this chapter)
