Chapter 91: This bald head is addictive to touch! Blood splatters in Fengtian Palace, kill first as a courtesy, who is the backstage of the grain merchant!
Xiaoqi collected the money, and Da Ma sat on the horse with his golden sword.
He was wearing a prison uniform and was covered in wounds, which made people look intimidating.
"Sir Xiaoqi, you are raising the price privately. If no one buys the incense, how can we deal with it?" the newly recruited gangster asked with a bow and a nod.
"Do you know what I committed?"
Xiaoqi pointed to his prison uniform: "Rebellion, I even attacked the palace gate, are you afraid of a temple? If there are no pilgrims to buy it, I will sell the incense to the temple and let the monks buy it! Anyway, the monks have money!"
This ruffian was frightened, so he dared to play tricks with kind people. But the man in front of him dared to play tricks with the man in the Forbidden City. No wonder he is so arrogant.
"If I report to the camp governor, I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain!"
"What an explanation! Eunuch Cao wants money, why does he care about the explanation? He even killed the monk before he saw it? The sky has been broken, how can he be afraid of a bird!"
Xiaoqi smiled ferociously: "We are all people with no tomorrow, no matter if the floods are raging after his death! Fuck him!"
The ruffian looked regretful. What organization did he join?
"May I ask Master Xiaoqi what your surname is?"
"I'm Shi Chong, my uncle's name is Shi Heng. I used to be a frontier soldier. I crawled out from the bloody sea of corpses. I led the army to attack Huiyin Gate. The emperor is close at hand. Who do you think I'm afraid of?"
?"
Plop!
No one else had heard of that local ruffian, but Shi Heng was famous and well-known, especially Shi Heng's fate, which shocked him.
The person in front of me, who should have been exterminated, was actually released!
What on earth is the emperor going to do?
"I was sentenced to kill the nine tribes, but I was released by the emperor. How many do you think I should kill before I can do this? Jie Jie Jie!"
Shi Chong smiled strangely and suddenly roared: "Damn it, you thief is ruining the temple, bring me some wine and meat! Ask a few young monks to come out and wait on you, pick the more delicate ones, and serve the brothers while they eat and drink.
!"
Zen Master Huijing was so angry that he was about to go to the palace to complain. When he heard the scolding, he almost fainted: "How can such a pure place of Buddhism get mixed in with such debris! Your Majesty, take a look at this pure place of Buddhism.
I will be ruined by these filthy bastards!"
……
Cao Jixiang walked along Longfu Temple and searched the small temples.
There are thousands of small temples in Beijing, some are hidden in folk houses, some are converted from ancestral halls, and they worship everything. Buddhism teaches that all things have animism. The pole bearers offer poles, the poor worship the gods of poverty, and the inverted dogs worship the roaring dog.
, in the walking Sophora japonica temple, there are also Buddhist monks and Yi people, offering all kinds of offerings.
Cao Jixiang searched for incense along the way and put the incense at the door for sale.
The monks in the small temple dared to get angry but dared not speak out when they saw the official.
Especially when I saw Cao Jixiang and his entourage coming out of Longfu Temple. Even Longfu Temple was operating according to the imperial edict. Naturally, they, who are small people with small gates and small temples, would not dare to make mistakes.
As the sky turned dark, Cao Jixiang knocked on the door of Fahua Temple.
Fahua Temple was built by the eunuch Liu Tong and his brother Liu Shun.
This Liu Tong was an eunuch of the Yongle Dynasty. He served as an official for four dynasties and died during the Zhengtong period. After his death, his family property was donated to Fahua Temple, which further expanded its scale and became what it is today.
"Close the door!"
Cao Jixiang is holding a knife and looks like a camp supervisor.
"Eunuch Cao, what do you mean by this?" the host Ji Yan glanced at Cao Jixiang's blood-stained knife and said politely.
"Kneel down, we are going to read out the holy decree!" Cao Jixiang snorted coldly.
"A poor monk is a monk, not one of the five elements... ah!"
Before Ji Yan could finish his words, the blade of the knife pressed against his neck.
"Who are you?"
Cao Jixiang stared at him coldly: "Your Majesty, you dare not to kneel down? You want to go to heaven! Do we need to personally give you a ride to see the Buddha!"
"Eunuch Cao, you and the poor monk are both acquaintances. If you have anything to say, it's easy to discuss." Ji Yan looked frightened.
Bah!
Cao Jixiang spit in his face: "This discussion is nothing! Kneel down!"
Ji Yan spit on his face and slowly knelt on the ground.
"Cao Jixiang, how can the Holy Land of Buddhism allow you to act wild!"
A sturdy monk dressed as a warrior monk, holding rosary beads and clasping his hands together, looking like a glaring King Kong.
"Fahua Temple is an inscription written by Emperor Xuanzong himself, and it is a royal temple. The monks in the temple have conducted rituals for the palace many times, and the presiding officer is even a little shy in front of the Holy One. How can you be allowed to be so presumptuous?"
"Master Jihua, please come here." Cao Jixiang knew this person. He was a warrior monk with a bad temper.
"The poor monk is afraid of you!"
Monk Jihua raised his head high and strode toward Cao Jixiang. He pointed at Cao Jixiang and scolded him: "The Holy One also asked the poor monk about the art of martial arts. The poor monk personally taught the Holy Master the wonderful health-preserving skills. The Holy Master was full of praise for it."<
/p>
"And you, Cao Jixiang, are nothing!"
"Hmph, when you pass on your sage's oral instructions, the poor monks and others have jumped out of the Three Realms and are not in the Five Elements. How can you be allowed to point your nose and scold them?"
"When the news goes out, we monks are still afraid that you won't be erect?"
Jihua was so satisfied that she sprayed Cao Jixiang with blood.
Poof!
As he approached, Cao Jixiang swung out a knife fiercely, and the blade came straight at him. Jihua only saw the bright blade scratching across his face.
"Ah!" Jihua screamed.
As he stepped back, the knife in Cao Jixiang's hand left his hand, and the blade was embedded in Jihua's face.
"Blood, blood! Cao, Cao Jixiang, you, you..." Jihua stretched out his hands and watched the blood dripping down the blade to the ground. He was stunned.
"Let our family help you pull it out!"
Cao Jixiang quickly walked over, grabbed the handle of the knife, and pressed hard into Jihua's face!
Bah!
Blood poured on Cao Jixiang's face.
Jihua grabbed Cao Jixiang's clothes hard and wanted to speak, but his mouth was cut into four parts by the blade of the knife. When he spoke, the four parts of his mouth moved randomly, his voice whimpered, and he was speechless.
Whoa!
Cao Jixiang slashed hard, and the blade went down his cheek, slit his throat, and blood spurted out like a shot.
Bah!
Cao Jixiang wiped his face, and his mouth was full of blood foam. He opened his mouth and spit on the face of the host Ji Yan.
Ji Yan was completely dumbfounded. He never expected that Cao Jixiang would kill someone directly.
A mouthful of spit woke him up.
"You, how can you kill someone?" Ji Yan pointed at Cao Jixiang, completely dumbfounded.
"Kneel down!"
Cao Jixiang's face showed a look of madness: "Our family has passed down the emperor's oral instructions, who dares not to kneel down!"
Plop!
Ji Yan knelt on the ground stupidly.
The monks of Fahua Temple knelt down, and the pilgrims who were burning incense in the temple were also dumbfounded and knelt on the ground.
Cao Jixiang looked around and saw everyone kneeling on the ground, with the corners of their mouths raised.
"The Oral Order of the Holy Spirit..."
After listening to the edict, Ji Yan understood why Cao Jixiang had given him the first blow. This was to dig up the foundation of the temple!
"Ji Yan, put notices all over the temple, pick a few young monks who can read and read them in front of the notices."
"We don't have time to talk nonsense with you!"
"But just tell me one thing, anyone who dares to hide or burn incense privately will be executed!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Cao Jixiang slapped the top of Ji Yan's head with the blade of a knife. The melons on the monk's head were shiny, and the feeling was almost the same as slapping his face.
"Master Jiyan, did you hear that?" Cao Jixiang got a little addicted to taking pictures and took a few more pictures.
Ji Yan's head was buzzing, but he didn't dare to rub it, so he suppressed his voice and said in a muffled voice: "Listen, I heard it!"
"Just do it!"
Cao Jixiang sheathed his sword and said, arrogantly at first and respectful at the back: "Master Jiyan, our family also obeys orders. Don't be angry with our family."
"As long as you follow the notice, our family will never cause trouble to your temple."
"As you know, our family believes in Buddhism."
"Amitabha!" Jingyan didn't want to talk to him.
"It seems that the master is angry with our family."
Cao Jixiang reached out and touched Ji Yan's head.
Jiyan was angry, and the monks of Fahua Temple were ashamed and angry.
"You dare to hide?"
Cao Jixiang felt empty, his eyes were sharp, and he drew out his sword directly.
"Cao Jixiang, don't push yourself too far!"
A green-robed monk stood between Cao Jixiang and Monk Jingyan, and shouted: "The abbot is a holy monk appointed by the Holy One, how can I allow you to be castrated and bullied!"
"Others are afraid of your sword, but the poor monk Mingjing is not!"
"This poor monk's body is nothing more than an external possession. You can take it if you want. But this poor monk wants to see how you explain it to His Majesty!"
"The monks of Fahua Temple must go to His Majesty's face and ask for an explanation!"
Monk Ming Jing was tall and thin, with a thin face, staring intently at Cao Jixiang.
Cao Jixiang suddenly smiled: "Why is Master Mingjing so angry? Our family is just joking with Master."
Seeing Cao Jixiang's stern expression but his internal expression, Monk Mingjing snorted coldly.
However, Cao Jixiang suddenly drew his knife and struck Ming Jing in the face with a cold blow!
Ming Jing's face was split in half!
Blood splatters!
Cao Jixiang's expression was ferocious, and he reached out to touch Ming Jing's head: "Master Ming Jing, if you don't let us touch Master Jiyan, we will touch yours, okay?"
Ming Jing pointed at Cao Jixiang and was speechless.
Blood flowed out.
He subconsciously wanted to retreat, but Cao Jixiang pushed the blade hard and touched his head hard!
Extreme humiliation was Ming Jing's last thought before his death.
"Cao Jixiang! Are you deceiving me that there is no one in Fahua Temple?" a monk roared.
Ji Yan was also anxious: "Cao Jixiang, you went on a killing spree in Lao Na's Fahua Temple. Aren't you afraid that the Buddha would punish you?"
"Come here! The monks of Fahua Temple have gathered to make trouble! They are all trying to prevent me from carrying out the holy edict!" Cao Jixiang roared.
Cha Cha!
The waist knife was unsheathed, and the patrolman pointed the blade at them. There was even a gangster who chopped down a monk with one knife first.
"No, no!"
Ji Yan was startled, he was arrogant at first and respectful at the end: "Eunuch Cao, please calm down, please raise your hand, don't kill, don't kill, Fahua Temple listens to the order, listens to the order."
"Called Admiral." Cao Jixiang didn't like the title of Camp Governor, as it was not as domineering as Factory Governor.
"Yes, yes, Admiral Cao, please put the knife away, put the knife away." Ji Yan was really frightened, I bet Cao Jixiang is a mad dog.
You also say that you believe in Buddhism, but you are trying to destroy Buddhism!
While talking, three monks died in the temple.
Judging from what Cao Jixiang means, he is very ready to kill Fahua Temple.
"Kneel down!" Cao Jixiang waved his hand and asked Patrolman Ding to put away his knife.
Plop!
Ji Yan knelt down in front of Cao Jixiang in great humiliation, feeling extremely hateful but not daring to show it.
"Are you aware of your mistake?" Cao Jixiang reached out and touched Ji Yan's head.
This bald head is addictive to touch.
Ji Yan was filled with humiliation, so she resisted Cao Jixiang's hand and allowed him to touch her.
"There are just a few points that don't feel good to the touch, which is a pity." Cao Jixiang also complained.
For the sake of the continuation of Fahua Temple, Jing Yan was willing to give up his body and gritted his teeth: "I know I was wrong."
"Hahaha!"
Cao Jixiang smiled proudly, arrogant and domineering to the extreme.
Out of Fahua Temple.
Someone put on Shi Chong's shoes and told him about receiving a tael of silver at Longfu Temple.
Unexpectedly, Cao Jixiang actually laughed: "Shi Chong is a smart man!"
"Battle Supervisor."
Tangxu of Qintianjian is Cao Jixiang's confidant.
Zhu Qiyu specially transferred him to help Cao Jixiang. He whispered: "Battle Supervisor, are you getting the job done right by doing this?"
"Besides, Fahua Temple is quite obedient. Why are you going on such a killing spree and touching the head of the abbot, Master Jiyan!" Tang Xu was worried about Cao Jixiang.
"Our family is trying to save their lives!"
Cao Jixiang glanced at him: "Why do you think Shi Chong is so arrogant and domineering outside Longfu Temple? Huh?"
I don’t understand the soup sequence.
"Hmph, why did the emperor give us a verbal order?"
"Use your brain, if our family doesn't want to be the villain, how can we let the emperor be the villain?"
"Our family will not only be evil, we will be so evil that all Buddhas will cast aside us!"
Cao Jixiang smiled grimly: "Those who find trouble will be killed; those who disobey will be killed; and those who are obedient will also be killed!"
"This is how our family survives!"
Tang Xu's mind was spinning, and he suddenly understood.
Why did Cao Jixiang kill people when he entered the Fahua Temple? It was just to help the emperor block the gun and take the initiative to be the villain.
The emperor's oral edict has offended the monks.
How to remove the emperor? You need a worse, more evil, and extremely evil person to highlight the emperor as a wise king who was deceived by a treacherous villain.
When he entered Longfu Temple, Cao Jixiang had not yet appreciated this.
But after killing Zen Master Pixi, he will understand.
The emperor had two deep intentions. The first was to let him go to the temple to rob money, and the second was to let him act as a villain and take the blame for the emperor.
When the emperor couldn't bear it anymore, he killed him and blocked the world's mouth.
If he is not smart, he will use the emperor's oral instructions to show off.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
I'm afraid an imperial decree has been sent to the palace to behead Cao Jixiang immediately to set the record straight!
Now there is no imperial edict coming from the palace, which means that Cao Jixiang has done a good job, you are still useful and cannot die.
I didn’t look at it, but Fang Xing kept seeing it but was indifferent.
Tang Xu immediately understood. No wonder Shi Chong dared to raise prices openly and show off his power outside Longfu Temple!
It turned out that he had understood the emperor’s deep intention and took the opportunity to save his life.
"Go to Tianshi Taoist Temple!"
Since the Emperor wants our family to be regarded as villains, then let’s just kill them all in the capital and bleed them like rivers of blood!
I'm afraid this is the emperor's third level of meaning!
Watch Cao Jixiang kill the temple in Beijing and bleed him into a river. When the temple can't stand it any longer, he will go to the palace and beg the emperor for help.
At that time, the emperor will be able to bargain with the temple, and maybe the monks in the temple will become the emperor's lackeys.
This requires Cao Jixiang to do a superb job and torture the monks until they collapse.
If this step is achieved, the emperor will not only not kill Cao Jixiang, but will also promote him and put him to good use.
……
Night falls, Fengtian Temple.
Watching the emperor eat porridge.
Although it was a side dish of porridge, it made the courtiers' stomachs growl.
"I don't have any extra porridge for you to eat."
After Zhu Qiyu finished eating, his tasteless mouth clicked: "I have been eating porridge for nearly twenty days. Look, I have lost weight!"
"Don't I want to eat delicious food? Don't I want to eat big fish and meat?"
"Why are you so harsh on yourself?"
"Isn't it just for Xuanzang's food supply and Shandong's food relief?"
"I thought, by setting an example and taking the lead to save a little bit, one more soldier in Xuanzhen will be fed, and one more disaster victim in Shandong will survive!"
"I'm so worried about this country!"
Your Majesty, are you really eating this for the victims? Aren't you cowardly and afraid of being poisoned?
The emperor suffered a misfortune in the Emperor Dan, and the courtiers were too embarrassed to reveal the truth.
I can only kneel on the ground and sing praises.
"Liang Lang, hurry up and write it down!" Zhu Qiyu couldn't hide the joy on his face. Who said I am not a benevolent king through the ages?
The courtier rolled his eyes, why didn't you remember when you cursed?
Aren’t you ashamed that all the compliments you received were required to be recorded in the record, and he was asked to read them over and over again, and even use a pen to help revise them?
"Why hasn't news come from Jin Zhong yet?"
After eating, Zhu Qiyu was in a good mood: "My lords, once the problem in the capital is solved, I plan to recruit more troops. There are so many refugees anyway, and letting them go home may cause disaster. Why don't they all go to the capital camp and eat the imperial food? What do you think?"
The emperor controls 30,000 to 40,000 troops and is not satisfied?
Hu Bi was frightened by the emperor's idea: "Your Majesty, we need soldiers during the war. How will we be able to raise so many soldiers when the war retreats?"
"I know that your Majesty has some money in his hands."
"But there is no war in our country, so you can support tens of thousands of people for nothing. If you support hundreds of thousands, even if you have a gold mountain, you won't be able to spend it like this!"
"The old minister advises Your Majesty to focus on promoting culture and education and educating the people, and not to engage in war and destabilize the world."
When you are beaten, do you endure it without fighting back?
But these words cannot be said out loud. Now that Xuanzhen has been defeated in the first battle, it is a time when people are in panic.
"Old Master, in your opinion, how to resettle these refugees?" Zhu Qiyu asked with a frown.
"This..."
Hu Hui vaguely guessed that these people who ran out to become refugees might have sold off their land. Should they ask the landlords to spit out the land they got?
"We can't let them continue to be refugees, right? Or drive them away and let them fend for themselves?" Zhu Qiyu sneered.
Hu Hui's eyes lit up, he could completely make these refugees disappear.
"Old Master, many of these refugees are family members of soldiers in the Beijing camp." Zhu Qiyu reminded him.
Hu Xi sighed: "Your Majesty, this matter needs long-term consideration. It will definitely not work if we recruit all the strong men into the Beijing camp. The burden on the Beijing camp is too heavy. It is okay to say that it will last for one and a half years. But if it lasts for ten or eight years, Beijing's finances will definitely be stretched."
Collapse."
The implication is that even if the army is recruited, the money cannot be paid from internal funds. The Ministry of Household Affairs must pay. The soldiers recruited are not the emperor's soldiers alone, but the soldiers of the court.
"Your Majesty, Grand Tutor, I have a way to resettle the refugees." Ye Sheng said.
"Tell me and listen."
"Wei Chen thought that the refugees could be recruited into the city to do some work..." Ye Sheng took Shang Shanjian as an example. The cooks needed tens of thousands of people, so why not recruit them from the refugees?
It means turning refugees into citizens.
But can Jingzhong be able to support so many mouths?
The grain in Beijing is self-sufficient, firstly by transporting grain by water, and secondly by planting it in the Gyeonggi region.
If these refugees become citizens, a large amount of land may be abandoned outside the city; moreover, farmers will not have survival skills and will not be qualified for market work, which will also cause public security problems.
"It's possible to accommodate some of them."
Li Xian said softly: "The court will go to the landlords in Gyeonggi to buy back some land, and then return the remaining part to the farm."
"In this way, the refugee problem will be easily solved."
The courtier nodded, and Zhu Qiyu also nodded.
After the refugee problem was solved, Cao Jixiang looted a large amount of silver, so he was not short of money!
It’s exciting just thinking about it.
But at this moment, a guard in Jinyi hurriedly ran in, knelt down and reported: "Your Majesty, Governor Jin took his subordinates and others to the granary of the water transport terminal, but no food was found!"
"Huh?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Mu Zhuang.
Mu Zhuang knelt on the ground in horror: "Wei Chen swears with his life that everything Wei Chen said is true!"
"Then why is there no food in the granary? Where is the food?" Zhu Qiyu was furious.
All the officials knelt on the ground to plead guilty.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
That Jinyiwei Xiaoqi still has something to report.
"What else is there? Tell me!"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are a lot of rumors in the market. Now there are long queues at the grain shops and grain stores in Beijing. The rumors spread quickly. The price of grain in Beijing has skyrocketed. People are panicked. Nowadays, coarse grains are sold for five taels of silver per kilogram, and fine grains are sold
When I get twenty taels of silver per catty, I still can’t buy it!” Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi reported.
"Twenty taels of silver per pound of fine grain?"
Wang Wen exclaimed: "Not to mention ordinary people, even officials and officials can't afford it!"
"If I go back to Wang Shaobao, this was the price of food when I entered the palace, and I'm afraid it has gone up again!" Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi said.
Wang Wen's body went limp.
It’s over! Things are serious this time!
Originally, after finding the food, it was enough to solve the problem of becoming a hungry people, but I didn't want to spread rumors that the surplus food in Beijing would definitely not be able to withstand the people's rush to buy it.
Once panic buying occurs, people in Beijing will inevitably be panicked.
Don't forget, there are still refugees everywhere outside the city. The reason why the refugees did not cause chaos is that they still have a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
If you tell the refugees outside the city that there is no food in the capital, don’t wait and go to hell.
What will the refugees who cannot live anymore do? Revolt!
There are even worse impacts. There is no food in the capital, so how can we raise troops? There are tens of thousands of admirals, horse troops, bodyguards, and imperial guards.
These soldiers all hold swords. Once...
Wang Wen didn’t dare to think about it anymore...
"Is there any food in the grain store?" Hu Hu asked anxiously.
"The bidders don't know. Governor Jin asked the bidders to go to the palace to report. The other bidders don't know."
After listening to what Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi said, there were whispers in the Fengtian Palace, and the sounds of mourning were everywhere.
Hu Bi couldn't hold himself steady either, and his face turned pale.
Calm down!
He repeatedly told himself that whenever big things happen, he should meditate and stay calm.
Wrong.
The news spread too quickly and food prices rose too sharply.
The grain store’s actions don’t seem like they are selling grain, but they are deliberately creating panic!
But that’s not right. If I were a businessman, I would definitely want to make money. Why did I suddenly raise the price of food to this point?
Is there no one in the court? Even though the capital camp is not the capital, and there are nine admiral's offices and other yamen, tens of thousands of people can always be gathered. Aren't you afraid of killing the nine tribes?
Suddenly, a sharp light flashed in his eyes!
Grain dealers are saving people!
The court officials were locked up in the Fengtian Palace and cut off from news. The grain merchants outside panicked and used the skyrocketing grain prices to save the backstage in the Fengtian Palace!
Who is it? Playing with Ming Dynasty?
He thought about it, and Zhu Qiyu also thought about it.
"Hahaha!"
"Okay, what a great show of skyrocketing food prices!"
"Rumors are flying all over the sky, food prices are skyrocketing, hundreds of officials in the capital are imprisoned in the Fengtian Palace, and political affairs in the world will come to a halt. I'm afraid it won't be long before the people in the capital are panicked and everyone is in danger."
Zhu Qiyu suddenly laughed: "My lords, do you believe it or not? I sent the Jinyi Guards to raid the grain store, but they couldn't get any food. Do you believe it or not?"
The court officials are all mature and mature, and they all understand the deeper meaning.
Grain merchants are saving people!
"No wonder there is no panic in this Fengtian Palace!"
"It turns out there are party members outside helping to cause trouble!"
"Do you think I can't do anything to you?"
Zhu Qiyu stepped down from Danbi with his sword in hand.
The courtiers looked horrified.
"If I don't let you go out, will food prices continue to soar?"
"Rumors are flying as fast as a tiger."
"The whole city is becoming more and more panicked, and more and more people are queuing up to buy food."
"When the people in the city find out that there is indeed no food in Beijing, what will they do?"
"Where are the guards in the capital? What would happen if they knew that there was no food in the capital and they were starved of food?"
"What about you? There is no food in your home, what will happen?"
"I don't dare to think about it anymore..."
Zhu Qiyu smiled miserably: "You are so powerful. You have forced me to look like this. The most annoying thing is that I don't even know who you are?"
"Just now I was thinking about how to resettle the refugees, but a loud slap hit me on the face!"
"You must have been laughing secretly just now, right? Are you laughing at me? Are you laughing at the Tutor? Are you laughing at Li Xian? Are you laughing at Ye Sheng?"
"The civil and military officials of the dynasty are full of jokes, but you are playing them into your hands!"
"I don't know who you are yet?"
"It's amazing. It's making the court go round and round, it's almost ruining my capital, and it's destroying my kingdom!"
"Do I need to say thank you to you?"
Suddenly.
Zhu Qiyu's sword was placed on Mu Zhuang's neck.
Mu Zhuang trembled all over, his expression extremely frightened: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen is not the backstage of the grain merchants. Wei Chen is loyal to Your Majesty and loyal to the Ming Dynasty..."
"Say! Who is there!" Zhu Qiyu's tone was extremely cold.
"Wei Chen doesn't know..."
Poof!
Zhu Qiyu pressed the edge of his sword against Mu Zhuang's body and slashed hard, drawing blood.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!" Mu Zhuang kept screaming.
"Your Majesty!" Hu Xi was about to speak.
Zhu Qiyu looked at him sharply: "Old Master, please don't dissuade me. If these damn bastards are not caught, the capital will never be stable for one day!"
"For your dog's life! Those damn grain merchants actually spread rumors and drive up grain prices!"
"What are they going to do!"
"Forcing the people, refugees, and soldiers to rebel? Are you going to overthrow the Ming Dynasty?"
"I will never do what you want!"
"Not only will I not let you go today, I will also find you all and kill them all!"
"Say!"
In a rage, Zhu Qiyu gathered Mu Zhuang up and said, "Give me instructions! If you don't catch them, I will kill everyone in the court today!"
Hu Xi and others turned pale, the emperor was going crazy again.
However, he did not say anything to persuade him. If the emperor went crazy, it would be a good thing to find out those people.
It's just that I pity Mu Zhuang. His Majesty promoted him from Nanjing to Beijing and didn't want to end up like this.
"Wei Chen doesn't know!" Mu Zhuang screamed.
Zhu Qiyu took two steps back and struck him hard with his sword: "I don't want you to know! Point! I will kill whoever you point to! Point quickly!"
Chen Shao led Wu Xiang's left guard to rush into Fengtian Hall.
Holding the knife in hand, he passed through the kneeling courtiers and guarded the emperor.
"Quick finger!" Zhu Qiyu struck with his sword again.
Blood sprayed all over Zhu Qiyu's face.
Zhu Qiyu looks like a madman.
Mu Zhuang was also cruel. He closed his eyes and pointed casually at Lin Cong.
Plop!
Lin Cong lay prone on the ground: "Your Majesty, believe me, believe me. My family never sells food. Absolutely not!"
Zhu Qiyu and Lin Cong don't have the courage, so Mu Zhuang is just pointing fingers.
Suddenly, he looked back at Mu Zhuang.
Mu Zhuang collapsed and lay on the ground: "Your Majesty, I really don't know!"
"Point again!" Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly.
The smell of shit came out, and Zhu Qiyu looked over suddenly!
Bao Ying, the doctor of the Thirteenth Clearing Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
He knelt at the entrance of Fengtian Hall, far away from the emperor, but he was scared to death.
Zhu Qiyu left Muzhuang behind: "You are Bao Ying, a doctor in the Qing Dynasty in Shandong. You used to be a minister in Fujian. Did I remember correctly?"
"At the end of last year, during the inspection in Beijing, I saw that your performance rating was very high, so I transferred you to Beijing as a doctor in the Shandong Qing Dynasty Officials Division."
"Bao Ying, tell me! Why were you so frightened that you became incontinent?"
Zhu Qiyu didn't dislike his smell, so he put a knife on his neck.
"Wei, Wei Chen is timid, so he was so frightened that he lost control!" Bao Ying trembled all over.
"Not telling the truth?"
Zhu Qiyu took two steps back, swung his sword and struck, blood spurting out!
"Ah!" Bao Ying rolled in the pile of shit.
The stench made the courtiers cover their noses.
"Li Xian! Come here and hold him down!"
Zhu Qiyu thought it was dirty and didn't want to get his hands on it, so he asked Li Xian to hold him down and he would chop it.
Li Xian rolled his eyes wildly, feeling like a Japanese dog.
You don’t like the smell, but I don’t?
Besides, there are so many officials around you, why are you calling me from so far away? Am I wronged?
Li Xian gritted his teeth and came over, pointing at the Sixth Section to Huang Zhen: "Hold it to His Majesty!"
Huang Zhen rolled her eyes, if I don't join King Li's party, will you take revenge on me?
"Hurry up!" Zhu Qiyu was furious.
Huang Zhen unfortunately came over and held Bao Ying down.
Zhu Qiyu glared at Li Xian, and then struck Bao Ying with his sword.
"Weichen is innocent..."
Poof!
Zhu Qiyu struck again, but he didn’t say anything, so he just struck! Strike again!
"Passengers are told that Bao Ying disobeyed the cabinet minister Li Xian in the Fengtian Palace, committed great rebellion, and executed the nine tribes!"
Zhu Qiyu concluded that Bao Ying must know something, otherwise he would not be so scared.
Bao Ying's face changed sharply: "Your Majesty, spare your life, I say, I say, I say!"
"Who! Say it quickly!"
Bao Ying pointed to Yao Tongfu, a lieutenant of the Qing Dynasty Bureau in Henan, Tu Yongzhen, a doctor in the Qing Dynasty Bureau in Shanxi, and Xie Xingchang, a doctor in the Qing Dynasty in Huguang, who were next to him.
He also pointed at Dong Yun, the ambassador of Guangjiku, Shang Qi, the ambassador of Guangyingku, Xu Xian, the ambassador of Chengyunku, Huo Ruilan, the ambassador of Taicang, and Zhang Jing, the deputy ambassador of Dong'an Mencang...
Zhu Qiyu was shocked.
Bao Ying actually pointed at a dozen people.
There are high-ranking officials, but they are all small shrimps, but they all hold on to real power.
Hu Bi, Lin Cong, Wang Wen and others came over to take a look, and they were all stunned.
"Hahaha!"
Zhu Qiyu was extremely angry and laughed: "The Hubu is just a den of thieves!"
"Catch them all, arrest them all for me!"
The guards took matters into their own hands.
Yao Tongfu and others shouted that they were wronged and cursed Bao Ying and Panjiao.
"Are you wronged?"
Zhu Qiyu raised his sword and walked out of Fengtian Hall and stood in front of Yao Tongfu: "Are you crying for injustice? Ah?"
"Injustice...Ah!"
Yao Tongfu suddenly screamed, and his chest was opened by the sword.
"Unjustly accused? Who else is unjustly accused!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes turned red: "Tell me! Where is the food hidden?"
But no one answered.
"Zhang Feng, Cui Gong, get here here!"
"This is your household department!"
"It's just a den of thieves!"
"The Qing officials and the warehouse ambassador all participated!"
"Zhang Feng, come here and give me an explanation! Hurry!"
Zhu Qiyu's chest heaved with anger.
"Your Majesty, it's important to find food." Hu Hui came out and knelt on the steps to remind.
"Zhang Feng, come to the trial! Hurry!"
Zhu Qiyu gave Zhang Feng the Emperor's Sword, and he took a few steps back.
Chen Shao's eyes were as bright as lightning, guarding the left and right.
When she saw Bao Ying pointing out these people, Zhang Feng felt shocked.
He always thought that his household department was the cleanest, and it was inevitable to be greedy occasionally, but he didn't expect that a shocking case would be revealed!
"Huo Ruilan, tell me!"
Zhang Feng followed suit and placed the Emperor's Sword on Huo Ruilan's neck.
"Master Shangshu, I am really unjust. I don't know anything...ah!" Huo Ruilian screamed.
Zhang Feng stabbed him in the stomach with his sword, causing blood to flow out.
"Say it, and I will save your family's life. Speak quickly!" Zhang Feng's eyes were fierce.
Rumors have become widespread. The first unlucky person is the emperor, and the second unlucky person is the courtiers in Fengtian Palace.
Chaos in the world will only bring harm to them, but no good.
So they and the emperor stood together, which is why Hu Hu allowed the emperor to go crazy.
Zhang Feng stabbed him to death, and the tip of the sword passed through Huo Ruilan's stomach.
Poof!
Zhang Feng drew out his sword and brought out Huo Ruiruan's intestines. He didn't bother to ask him again, so he put the tip of the sword against Shang Qi's belly: "Say!"
Shang Qi was shaking all over, but Zhang Feng started to exert force, and the tip of the sword penetrated into his stomach.
"Say it! Say it! It's in every treasury!" Shang Qi couldn't help it.
"Library? Which library?"
Hu Xi couldn't wait to run down the steps and shouted urgently.
Xi'an Mencang, Bei'an Mencang, Zhangjiawan Salt Cang... they all have them!"
Shang Qi finished speaking in one breath.
Zhu Qiyu and all the officials in the court were stunned.
Has Hube been wiped out in one fell swoop? Is there anyone else who is innocent?
Someone was trying to run outside Fengtian Hall, but Wu Xiang Zuowei caught him!
"Your Majesty! Send the royal guards to look for him! Hurry!" Hu Bi's face was full of anxiety.
"Send an order to Jin Zhong. Quickly, occupy all the warehouses and warehouses in the capital. From now on, they will be commanded by Jin Yiwei. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
Zhu Qiyu summoned Duan Peng, a member of the Imperial Guard, and said: "Tell Jin Zhong, be careful not to jump over the wall and light the grain in the warehouse. Controlling the warehouse is the most important thing first. Nothing else is important. You must keep the grain. Do you understand?"
"I obey the order!" Duan Peng knelt on the ground.
"Go quickly!"
Zhu Qiyu was still uneasy and asked Chen Shao to take half of the Wuxiang left guard, and Yu Mian led the Yulin left guard to accompany them.
Chen Shao is worried about Zhu Qiyu's safety.
"Don't worry, I'll just ask the governor to accompany you."
Zhu Qiyu held his hand: "Chen Shao, according to my imperial decree, first hold down the major warehouses, and you must be fast! You must keep the food!"
He was also worried that if the warehouse officials jumped over the wall and burned all the grain, they would be in trouble.
So the speed must be fast!
"I obey the decree!" Chen Shao left the palace quickly.
It was already dark, so I left the palace with a torch.
"Come back!" Zhu Qiyu suddenly thought of something.
Chen Shaosheng stopped, ran back, and knelt on the ground.
"There must be grain merchants' spies outside the palace. As long as the palace door is opened, the news will reach the grain merchants' ears first."
Zhu Qiyu looked at Hu Hui: "Old Master, please cooperate with me in a play!"
"Old minister, I'm welcome!" Hu Hu looked generous.
"You take your cabinet ministers out of the palace first and act like I'm compromising."
"You are scolding me at the palace gate, no matter how unpleasant it sounds."
"First stabilize their hearts."
"The walls of Donghua Gate are broken, and Chen Shao and others left the palace through Donghua Gate."
As for whether we can deceive the grain merchants, that's up to God.
"Old minister obeys the order!"
Hu Bi looked at the emperor who was calm in the face of danger, and seemed to see the shadow of Emperor Xuanzong.
"Take my royal chariot and go as fast as you can!"
"How dare you, my ministers, to overstep your bounds?" Hu Hui knelt down and couldn't stand up.
"I will forgive you for your innocence!"
Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to talk nonsense and looked at Lin Cong and Wang Wen: "I leave the safety of Beijing in your hands! I hope you and others will be careful!"
"I obey the order!" Lin Cong, Li Xian and others knelt on the ground.
Zhu Qiyu does not doubt King Li's party, because chaos in the capital will not do them any good.
"Zhang Feng, you also come out of the palace!"
"I will settle the accounts with you after the crisis is over regarding the Ministry of Accounts matters!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were profound: "Leave these people to me and I will personally interrogate them! I will release them from the palace after Chen Shao leaves the palace and burns a stick of incense!"
"The old ministers and others were waiting for them at the palace gate, blocking them so that they could not spread the news!" Hu Bi understood what Zhu Qiyu meant.
That's right.
The purpose of releasing Hu Xi and others from the palace.
After the emperor released Bao Ying and others from the palace, he blocked them at the palace gate so that they could not deliver the news for the time being.
Chen Shao used this time difference to control the warehouses in Beijing.
As for how much you can save, let God decide.
Hu Hu and others left the palace in an imperial chariot.
Zhu Qiyu stared at Shang Qi: "Tell me, why are you thinking about food?"
Shang Qi begged for his life.
"It's none of the minister's business, it's the envoy's fault!" Shang Qi spit out another person.
What about the Tōmo from the Tōmōsho?
Zhu Qiyu looked for it, but he couldn't find it. He had never seen such a sesame and mung bean official.
If he hadn't ordered all the officials from the capital to be detained in Fengtian Hall today, I'm afraid that Zhaomo would never have the chance to enter Fengtian Hall in his life.
No wonder the grain merchants were panicking. These petty officials were suddenly summoned to the Fengtian Palace. They thought the matter was leaked. How could they not panic?
"Your Majesty, he is!"
It was pitch dark in the square, and a petty official pointed him out.
The Zhaomo Institute is responsible for verifying official documents, supervising and standardizing regulations, and all official documents from the Ministry of Revenue will pass through his hands, so even though he is a young official, he is the most well-informed.
"Zhao Mo Cheng Mao, please come to see Your Majesty!"
Cheng Mao was caught at the gate of Fengtian Hall.
Zhu Qiyu didn't have Chen Shao's personal protection, so he didn't dare to rush into danger.
"Your Majesty, he, he was also involved!" Cheng Mao pointed to the official who reported him just now.
That guy is an inspector from Zhaomo Institute, his name is Hou Yu.
These two guys are dog-eat-dog.
Cheng Mao gave up the truth.
It turns out.
At Zhaomo Station, Cheng Mao saw the official document about Shandong Daluo and sold the news to Tianji Grain Store.
He often does this kind of thing and has never had any trouble.
I wanted grain merchants to go to Shandong to make a fortune.
Unexpectedly, the emperor sold his imperial store to raise grain for disaster relief, and the Ministry of Household Affairs paid high prices to buy grain from merchants.
So the shrewd grain merchants united and went to various places in Gyeonggi to collect grain. After collecting, they found that many powerful people were involved.
Grain merchants are worried that the Ministry of Household Affairs will buy the grain that the rich and powerful will buy, and will not buy the grain from the grain merchants.
But at this time, the grain merchants have collected a lot of grain, all at high prices. If they cannot sell it to the Ministry of Household Affairs, they will lose money.
Several grain merchants bribed Cheng Mao, hoping to use Cheng Mao to bribe officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and sell grain to the Ministry of Household Affairs to avoid losses.
But how could Cheng Mao, an eighth-rank official, have such energy?
But the grain merchant refused to let him go, saying that his news had harmed them, and if he couldn't sell it, he would ask him to pay for it.
In desperation, Cheng Mao spent all his money to bribe Shangguan, but Shangguan told him that the grain harvest was full.
Unless the emperor provides more money, he will not be able to accept it.
When Cheng Mao brought the news back, the grain merchants almost ate him, but then they came up with such a vicious plan.
Simply create a major famine in Gyeonggi and make the food in your hands more valuable!
Therefore, grain merchants not only did not stop collecting grain, but also doubled their harvest, traveling far away from the capital and collecting grain at high prices, which affected their entire family life.
