Chapter 1215 Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty Visited the Underworld at Night?Go ask the heavenly master!
"Captain, the cause of Zhao Wenhua's death is unknown..."

Zhu Qi stepped forward and presented Wu Zuo's corpse.

Lu Bing looked at it carefully and pressed the center of his eyebrows, feeling a little headache.

Some time ago, the activities of the White Lotus Sect were frequent, and Jin Yiwei was very vigilant. Recently, it finally calmed down. Unexpectedly, another court official died...

The key is that for the most experienced operation, it is not even clear whether it is a sudden illness or being murdered.

Of course, there is still a direction to investigate the case. Jin Yiwei quickly learned from Zhao Wenhua's wife what he had done recently. It was actually this person who stabbed Yan's father and son in the back.

There is motivation.

Yan Dang and Qing Liu became the biggest suspects.

Needless to say, Yan Dang killed him as an example to others, and let other officials see what happened to Zhao Wenhua, so they didn't dare to have second thoughts.

However, there is also something strange about it: "The strict party wants Zhao Wenhua to die tragically, and there are some ways to make him irreparable. Qingliu doesn't seem to dare to murder the imperial court officials. Could it be that someone fished in troubled waters and disrupted the current situation? When he died, he died silently. Are the wounds caused by practitioners?"

Zhu Qi suggested: "Should I ask Li Tianshi for advice? With his cultivation base, he can definitely see..."

Lu Bing shook his head slightly: "Not right!"

Zhao Wenhua's identity was sensitive, and his death was strange. If he participated in it, he might be a coquette.

What's more, unless there is extremely detailed evidence, even a celestial master will be suspected of political struggle once he testifies.

Zhu Qi also realized that he had made a slip of the tongue: "It's because my subordinates didn't think carefully..."

Lu Bingdao: "First write down what illnesses Zhao Wenhua had during his lifetime, let his wife testify, and then talk about other things."

Zhu Qi understood that there was no external injury anyway, this is to ensure the bottom line first, as for the cause of death, it depends on the development of the court, how sensible and how to die.

Lu Bing is naturally familiar with these things, but he still has a bottom line: "Take good care of his family, save some money and send it back to Zhejiang."

Zhao Wenhua is extremely greedy, his family's mansion is extravagant and rich, and the property he sold in a hurry these days is even more of a crime. He may not be able to keep such a huge wealth alive, let alone after death, of course Jin Yiwei will not be polite.

Just thinking about how much to allocate to each party after swallowing, Zhu Si hurriedly came behind him: "Captain, the palace has been alarmed!"

Lu Bing is not surprised. Jiajing seems to be devoted to cultivation, but in fact he has control over the major affairs of the court. But then Zhu Si reported the chaos in the Yan Mansion, which made him very surprised: "Yan Donglou wants to divorce his wife and marry a famous prostitute. Yan Ge was so angry that he collapsed?"

Zhu Si also thought it was absurd, but it was indeed true news: "Now the Yan Mansion is in chaos, Yan Ge's old man fell ill, and all parties have heard the news..."

Lu Bing shook his head again and again: "It's too arrogant, this is really treating himself as an old man, once he resigned, he lost his composure to this point!"

He and Yan Shifan are still in-laws. Yan Shifan's official wife, Mrs. Wu, has met. She is a very dignified and virtuous concubine. She regards the act of divorcing his wife and marrying a prostitute as a way of venting, and doesn't even consider that she really likes that name. The possibility of a whore...

In this way, looking at Zhao Wenhua's case again, Lu Bing felt a lot more relaxed: "Once this incident comes out, no one will pay attention to this case anymore."

If nothing happened to Yan's father and son, Zhao Wenhua's death would undoubtedly be the top priority, but now the attention of the government and the public must have shifted to that, and the truth of the case is no longer important.

Lu Bing quickly left with Zhu San and Zhu Qi, and the remaining Jin Yiwei began to count their belongings. As for the covered corpse, no one cared about it anymore, so they couldn't notice it. willing to leave.

His expression was dazed at first, then gradually changed to pain, and finally turned to ferocious. After identifying the direction, he headed towards Xiyuan.

……

"Yan Shifan is really messing around!"

In Xiyuan, Jiajing frowned.

Who wouldn't be happy to hear such an unexpected farce?
He tried his best to suppress his gloating smile: "Let the imperial hospital send an imperial doctor to take a look at Mr. Yan Ge, don't be so angry that your body will be damaged..."

But after being happy, Jiajing's face gradually sank again.

It was actually not appropriate for Yan Song to fall down at this time.

Just like what Yan Song taught Yan Maoqing and Luo Longwen, when the national treasury is empty, the solution is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

Restarting the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau and selling silk to the West is to open source.

As for throttling, that is to reduce expenses, especially palace expenses...

Jiajing was very annoyed by this. He only had eight sets of regular clothes for four seasons, and he changed them into dry clothes and wet clothes.
That's why he agreed to Yan Song's beating request and asked Yan Maoqing to go south to inspect the salt and clear the salt tax for national use.

But now, as soon as Yan Song falls ill, Qingliu will definitely take the lead. I'm afraid it will be another round of trouble for Yan, and no one cares about the real state affairs.

Thinking of this, Jiajing said coldly: "Yan Shifan is an unfilial son, if he can learn his father's ability to take care of the overall situation, he won't be in trouble like this. I really indulged him too much in the past!"

The eunuch Bingbi serving today was Yang Jinshui. Seeing Jiajing getting angry, he remembered Lu Fang's care and did not dare to follow suit. He just held his breath and worked carefully.

Jiajing noticed him, and suddenly asked, "How is the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau?"

Yang Jinshui hurriedly bowed down: "If you go back to the master, the preliminary preparations have been completed, and you can trade with Western merchants only when the sea route is clear."

Jiajing didn't take the trick of painting big cakes, and said directly: "How many taels of silver will be used from the national treasury next?"

Yang Jinshui's face changed slightly, but he didn't dare to speak falsely, so he could only say in a slightly low voice: "50 taels..."

Jiajing, as the Secretary of the Ministry of Households of the Ming Dynasty, knew these expenses very well, and knew that the amount was not much: "The Weaving Bureau and the Shibo Department have been abandoned for many years, and it is impossible to reopen them without 50 taels of silver. This hole, Only relying on the autumn tax to make up for it, and pay close attention to some flowers, maybe we can get through the difficulties, I'm afraid there will be another disaster, and even more man-made disaster..."

Yang Jinshui originally wanted to say, "The master is as virtuous as the sky, and will surely bless Daming, the weather will be smooth, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe", but when he heard the word "man-made disaster", he immediately realized that this person meant something, and quickly shut up.

Jiajing did have a goal. He remembered it very clearly. There was a saying in "Records of Taizu", "The sea road can lead to foreign countries. If you don't stop it, everyone will be confused and fall into the criminal law."

This sentence means that the common people will not think about labor through private trade by sea, and they will only do business, which must be prohibited.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang did order that people who were not engaged in farming and who were dedicated to business could be arrested. The "Da Ming Hui Dian" even contained a clear text that businessmen were not allowed to wear silk and satin, but they still couldn't control the momentum of the rise of businessmen.

Especially in the coastal areas, where the Japanese pirates made such a scene so fiercely, who are the biggest promoters behind it, do you think he, the son of heaven, doesn't know?
The atmosphere in Yuxi Palace became more and more dignified, Yang Jinshui knelt quietly, and the servants around him didn't dare to show their atmosphere, until Jiajing pondered for a long time, and slowly said: "Jiangnan Weaving Bureau is finished, don't let me down! "

It's a pity, he is not the great ancestor after all, he doesn't have the ruthlessness and determination to kill the Quartet, and the current situation of the country can't tolerate that. If he really wants to attack the gentry and merchants, the tax-heavy Jiangnan will be in chaos immediately...

Yang Jinshui hastily kowtowed: "The slaves will do their best to share the master's worries!"

Jiajing nodded slightly.

Yang Jinshui is already capable in the supervisor of ceremonies, so he was able to entrust this matter. The other eunuchs will only behave indiscriminately if they are released, making people miserable. The key is that the money will not be able to enter the national treasury in the end...

After all, it depends on the strict party to make money!

"Open the furnace! I want to make alchemy for Mr. Yan Ge!"

At this thought, Jiajing's attitude changed, he got up and walked to the alchemy room.

In the past, when he concocted alchemy and gave medicine at this juncture, he would only give Yan Song a fatal blow, but now he really cared about it.

After refining the sweet elixir and meditating for a while, Jiajing inexplicably felt a little tired and uneasy, and put on a posture with five hearts facing the sky, trying to enter the realm of emptiness.

He has practiced for decades, even if his mind is messy and he is not at all quiet and inactive, he can do it long ago by resting in a meditation posture, and his breathing will soon become softer.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiajing slowly opened his eyes.

The strong sense of burnout did not disappear, but the body was too heavy to move. This feeling made Jiajing very uncomfortable: "Are you going to lose sleep again?"

However, this time it wasn't insomnia, the lights in the abode disappeared all night, while the veils fluttered, gusts of cold wind still gathered.

Jiajing frowned, and was about to scold those lazy servants when his face froze suddenly.

Because a white shadow floated down from the sky, looking at him faintly.

The appearance of the other party was frightening, but there was no blood on his face, so that Jiajing recognized the identity of the comer at a glance: "Zhao Wenhua?"

Compared with Yan Song and Yan Shifan's turmoil, Zhao Wenhua's death is not worth mentioning. Naturally, there were reports, but Jiajing passed by, and he didn't take it to heart at all. Unexpectedly, when he opened his eyes at night, the other party's soul floated there...

The ghost said slowly: "I died so badly... Take revenge... Take revenge for me!"

Jiajing's hairs stood on end, and he hurriedly responded: "I will make the decision for you, and arrest the real culprit, you... go with peace of mind!"

The ghost shook his head: "It's not true, you are not sincere, I was burned by karmic fire, it was so painful, your sins are heavier than mine, why don't you not suffer from karmic fire?"

Jiajing's fright did not disappear, but he also opened his eyes after hearing this, and said in a deep voice, "What crime can I say?"

The ghost hissed: "If there is no crime, go to the underworld with me, and argue with the king of Hades to see if the subjects of the world forgive you!"

After all, it actually floated over, stretched out Xu Piao's hands, and grabbed it.

When the pale face filled the entire line of sight, the screams of Da Mingzi finally echoed in the hall: "Guard... escort... Heavenly Master save me! Heavenly Master save me!!"
