On the contrary, Zhu Di looked kind and cheerful at this time and said with a smile: "You don't have to rush to say it, and I'm not in a hurry either. Just cry."

The silent crying stopped abruptly.

Just like a person having a flashback, Shen Jing was surprisingly calm at this moment.

He spoke clearly and clearly: "What he does... is the business of reselling grain."

Zhu Di remained silent.

Grain merchant... is obviously not a serious crime, after all, there is no prohibition against selling grain in the royal law.

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

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

"The grass-roots people are from the Jiangnan aristocratic family. They have quite some foundations. They have connections with classmates, teachers and students... fellow villagers... they can all be used."

Zhu Di's face showed a cold look, but he said nothing.

So Shen Jing continued: "After finding a relationship and making an agreement with the local people, we will send a large amount of grain to the affected states and counties and sell it at ten times or a hundred times the price..."

As soon as he said this, there was only a muffled sound, and Liu Rang fell down.

Liu Rang fell heavily to the ground, and then he regained consciousness, so he quickly got up and said immediately: "No, no, transporting food to the disaster area is not a serious crime, it is to alleviate the disaster... It has merit but no fault."

He was anxious.

Zhu Di still smiled and said nothing.

Shen Jing, on the other hand, looked sad, as if her mother had died.

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

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

"So people often have to be bribed to ban other grain ships, and the court's disaster relief grains must be shipped as slowly as possible. The delayed relief grains can also be included in other losses."

Zhu Di's expression changed suddenly, and his elbow resting on the case couldn't help but tremble.

I saw Shen Jing continue: "Only when people are hungry and someone around them is starving to death, those desperate people will willingly dig out their own wealth, and then they will rush to take out the last copper in the house to buy food, and starve to death first. Those who have no money will starve to death from now on, those who have less money will starve to death, and after that..."

Liu Rang's body was like chaff, and his eyes were red. In fact, he was completely anxious.

I saw Liu Rang shaking his hands, pointing at Shen Jing and yelling: "What are you talking nonsense? What are you talking nonsense? Do you know the consequences of saying these nonsense? Do you have any grievances? Is someone forcing you to say this... …”

Shen Jing, on the other hand, was lying on the ground. He was actually extremely calm at this time. It would be wrong if he was not calm. How many people in the family could die depends on him now.

He suppressed the fear in his heart and kowtowed: "Liu Rang... I know that he had been here with people from the Ministry of Punishment before, and he had rekindled his old friendship with me. It turned out that he was his great ancestor, and he had been with me. My great-grandfather was a classmate. We drank water and wine at that time. After a few glasses of wine, he claimed that I was not guilty and would definitely seek justice for me. He also said... he would definitely 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: "You earned 1.2 million taels of silver just by doing this?"

Zhu Di no longer cares about what Liu Rang said, he only wants to know what he wants to know now.

Shen Jing can be said to be extremely honest now. He said in a trembling voice: "There are other businesses as well. This is a business that has been run for generations..."

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said, "It was also during the time of Emperor Taizu Gao?"

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

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

Shen Jing said: "The common people... have indeed built bridges and roads. They have also set up several schools and helped many scholars. If they encounter corpses and remains that no one has picked up within ten miles, they will also teach people to clean them up and send them to charity." Zhuang An was buried..."

Zhu Di said: "I never thought that you actually have a kind heart?"

Shen Jing said tremblingly: "People who do such things must have kind hearts, otherwise they won't be able to sleep well every day..."

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

The truth comes out and comes to light.

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

Zhang Anshi stepped forward and said, "I am here."

Zhu Di said: "Tell me, why did you want to bomb Shenjiazhuang in the first place?"

Zhang Anshi said hesitantly: "Truth or lie?"

Zhu Di only uttered two words: "Truth."

Zhang Anshi said: "The thing is like this. I actually inquired about some things about the Shen family when I was at the shipping company, but there was no evidence. I just felt that the matter was important, so I quickly reported it to my brother-in-law..."

Zhu Gaochi was stunned and looked at Zhang Anshi in surprise.

Zhang Anshi continued: "After my brother-in-law heard about it, he was also very worried. He said he wanted to investigate, but I'm afraid it won't be easy. The Shen family has been running the business for so long without being exposed. How can they find out anything easily? It's just that the matter is very important, so we can only If you do something extraordinary, then... just make it bigger. The bigger the fuss, the better. The bigger the fuss, the more people will pay attention!"

"So...I had the courage to blow up the Shen family's village. Of course, Zhu Yong, Zhang Fu, and Qiu Song also contributed here, and they worked tirelessly..."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di waved his hand: "Okay, I know what's going on."

Zhu Di's eyes immediately fell on Liu Rang: "Zhang Anshi said that he did this because he knew that you people were sitting on the table and that you would protect the Shen family. It seems that you did not disappoint Zhang Anshi. You are indeed such a person. "

This statement is full of irony!

Liu Rang's face was livid, but he could no longer argue. He always said, "It was my oversight... Please punish me for my oversight..."

But Zhu Di was so angry that he suddenly picked up the stone pen holder on the public case and threw it at Liu Rang.

Snapped……

The stone penholder was impartial and hit Liu Rang's cheek. Liu Rang felt the pain, covered his face and let out a scream. Soon, his cheek became swollen.

Zhu Di gritted his teeth and said: "Is it just an oversight? How many people have been killed by your so-called oversight? Because of your oversight, the court's food relief was not able to save people, but made countless officials fatter."

"Don't you always say that you speak out for justice? Don't you always put the people and the world at your lips? At this time, you actually told me that you were oblivious? If someone else could have been oblivious, you might be oblivious, but what you say is written by sages and sages. How can a person be worthy of the word "Wucha"!"

Liu Rang was so frightened that he crouched on the ground, covered his face and said: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Before he could continue, Zhu Di said coldly: "It seems that until now, you still don't know how to repent. It shows that the tragic situation of the victims is nothing in your heart! It's okay, come and arrest the Liu family and others, up and down

Young and old, the men were exiled to Qiongzhou as military slaves, and the women were appointed as teachers. Let the whole family experience the suffering of ordinary people, and teach them that they will never be able to stand up again!"

After Liu Rang heard this, he trembled violently and said anxiously: "For this minister's crime, why did your Majesty harm his wife and children?"

Zhu Di's expression remained unchanged and he said: "When you were proud, didn't your wife and children also benefit from you? Now because of your so-called negligence, how many people have been killed, not to mention if I believed your treacherous words, how could this An Shi

Wouldn’t he also be harmed by your false accusation?”

"You only think about the unreasonable disaster that your family has suffered. Why don't you think about how many people have suffered because of a dog-like person like you?"

Having said this, Zhu Di no longer wanted to waste words with such a person, and ordered in a deep voice: "Come here, take it down. Don't rush to kill this person. Send him to prison first and punish him slowly."

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

There was silence in the hall.

Zhu Di then said: "As for Shen Jing... I think he is quite honest, he has done some good deeds in his daily life, and he has confessed his guilt, so... let's give him a lighter sentence."

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

When Shen Jing heard this, her face turned pale and she fell down, unconscious.

Zhu Di added a special sentence: "Search his house and not even a copper penny can be missed."

…………

In fact, Zhu Di was very angry.

What he was angry about was that someone dared to do such a thing under his nose.

What's even more terrifying is that he only knows about it now after working in the Shen family for so many years.

If it hadn't been for the huge commotion this time, I'm afraid he would have been kept in the dark for the rest of his life.

Unfortunately, he hadn't spent much time thinking about how to provide relief, but it turned out that all his efforts were in vain!

With just one Shen family member, all his relief methods failed.

It's tolerable, but it's intolerable.

However, Yi Shiha knew that Zhu Di was more and more angry, but on the surface he was calm. However, at this time, he often remained silent, occasionally twitching the corner of his mouth, but most of the time he kept a dull face.

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

And if your Majesty talks about someone else's mother, whether you have this today or that tomorrow, it doesn't mean that your Majesty is in a good mood. At least when you are waiting around, you are not worried, which means that your Majesty is in a good mood.

Now Yishiha poured a cup of tea and served it carefully.

Zhu Di had already returned to the palace and sat in the newly renovated literary building. He picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said to Yishi, "Thank you for your hard work."

Yi Shiha's heart immediately rose, and he quickly and cautiously said: "Slave...it's appropriate."

Zhu Di put down the tea cup and asked, "What are Zhang Anshi and the others doing?"

Yi Shiha said cautiously: "How about I go and ask?"

Zhu Di nodded.

Yi Shiha hurriedly left the literary building and waited for a full half an hour before he rushed back panting and said: "Your Majesty, where is the Jin Yiwei... hurry up and report that it is Zhang Anshi who brought Zhu Yong, Zhang Fu and Qiu Songsan."

Since the imperial trial, I have packed up my bed and wanted to live in the warehouse of Qixia Temple."
