Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 378 Catch!Catch them all!

The diversion and resettlement of the refugees from Shanshan and Shanxi, as the situation of all parties is squeezed, the impact on the Gyeonggi area can be said to cause a relatively large disturbance.

In particular, the news of the civil unrest in Shanxi, following the actions of the Military Aircraft Office, made the government and the public aware of it, and the Yanguan Yushi on Kedao's side often submitted regulations and memorials to the Secretary of the General Administration.

Faced with such a situation, Emperor Chongzhen simply ignored it, and all the memorials submitted to the imperial court were kept unpublished, but this also made the panic on the Gyeonggi side further intensified.

"Commander, in the past few days of secret investigations, in Beijing, Tongzhou, Liangxiang, Shunyi and other places, it has been found that there are dozens of people who maliciously raised food prices, cloth prices, etc., and spread many rumors that are not conducive to stability."

Cao Huayu looked tired, his eyes were bloodshot, and his beard was unshaven. Looking at Luo Yangxing who was sitting firmly in the official hat chair, he frowned and said, "Even during this period, many people secretly plotted against the convenience stores opened in these places. .

Right now, in the entire Gyeonggi area, except for this convenience store of unknown origin, which also sells cheap grain and cheap cotton cloth, other grain merchants, cloth merchants, etc. have all pushed up the price.

The people on the Gyeonggi side, affected by the chaotic situation, and because the convenience store has set a quota for people to sell food, cotton cloth, etc., out of panic, they bought a lot..."

Listening to what Cao Huayu said, Luo Yangxing, who was in a mess of thoughts, raised his eyebrows upside down, and his mood was extremely bad.

As far as he knows the situation, the commotion in Beijing this time has involved many people in the capital.

Regarding the current situation, at other times, Luo Yangxing would definitely not get involved, but facing the coercion of the emperor, it was not that he didn't want to get involved, so he wouldn't get involved.

"The commander knows."

Luo Yangxing pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Continue to investigate, let the commander find out who is standing behind these guys."

"Commander, this matter cannot be investigated any further."

When Cao Huayu heard this, he frowned and said, "It doesn't matter who is standing behind these people, but the price of food and cloth in the capital area is currently high.

If Jinyiwei doesn't take measures, the price will only continue to rise.

First arrest this group of profiteers, and then examine them one by one. We will be able to find out who is behind it. "

Cao Huayu doubted Luo Yangxing's decision.

He could clearly feel that Luo Yangxing told him to continue to investigate secretly, clearly because he was afraid.

As for what to be afraid of, there is no need to guess too much.

It's nothing more than the gang of dignitaries and civil servants in the capital.

It's just that if the current situation is not contained, the chaos in the capital area will inevitably affect the resettlement of the victims.

Once the situation in Zhending Mansion and Baoding Mansion continues to become more chaotic, there will definitely be civil uprisings among the refugees from Shanshan and Shaanxi who flock here.

"Are you questioning this commander?"

Being interrupted by Cao Huayu like this made Luo Yangxing angry, staring at Cao Huayu with his deep eyes, and said in a deep voice, "It's not your turn to be in charge of Jinyiwei.

Commander, any decision is made with careful consideration.

Don't forget that Li Ruzhen, who was handed over to the imperial prison, and the eight thieves have not yet finalized their case.

If these profiteers are arrested now, what if the people behind them sense danger and stop? "

Facing Luo Yangxing's glaring, Cao Huayu's expression was indifferent. Facing Luo Yangxing's glaring, Cao Huayu stood calmly on the spot, his hands hanging down, subconsciously clenched.

What Luo Yangxing gave him was the situation in Gyeonggi, so what if the chaos continues?

How many people died during the period, so what?
How many people broke their homes for this, so what?
As long as the ultimate truth can be found out, these prices are worth paying.

"Commander Luo, you are such a powerful official."

Outside the office room, a soft voice sounded, making Luo Yangxing's heart tighten, his face changed slightly, and he subconsciously raised his head to look outside the hall.

Cao Huayu, who was staring at Luo Yangxing, turned around, but saw Wang Chengen, who was wearing a boa robe, standing at the door with a cold expression and hands down.

"Shangyu!"

When Wang Chengen said a word, Luo Yangxing and Cao Huayu hurriedly ran towards the door of the hall, kneeling and bowing, and behind Wang Chengen, many people who heard the words bowed and saluted one after another.

Wang Chengen said coldly: "The emperor ordered, Luo Yangxing, I asked Jin Yiwei to investigate the matter, how did the investigation go?"

Luo Yangxing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, in the area of ​​Gyeonggi, dozens of people who have been driving up grain prices, raising prices, and spreading rumors have been identified."

Wang Cheng'en said again: "Now that we have found out, why can't Jin Yiwei arrest them? Could it be that Luo Yangxing wants to watch civil unrest break out in Gyeonggi?"

Luo Yangxing was startled and said: "I don't dare, I want to find out who is behind them, so that His Majesty's order can be properly resolved."

Wang Chengen snorted coldly: "Hmph, from my point of view, you, Luo Yangxing, are afraid. If that's the case, then the Commander of the Jinyiwei, you are at the end!"

Luo Yangxing said in fear: "I don't dare. It's all for His Majesty's will. I want to get everything done. Only in this way can I arrest those treacherous ministers and rebellious sons..."

Wang Cheng'en said coldly: "Since it's for me, for the country and society of Ming Dynasty, then give it to me and arrest all the profiteers that have been identified. Don't tell me that you don't have enough manpower in Jinyiwei!"

Luo Yangxing said timidly: "I accept the order! I will do it immediately!"

Luo Yangxing never imagined that the words he was thinking would be known so clearly by the emperor, and he could even clearly feel the anger of the emperor through Wang Chengen's words.

He even said that if he dared to have other ideas, not to mention the loss of the Commander of Jin Yiwei, his wealth and life might not be guaranteed.

Thinking of Luo Yangxing here, he stood up, trembling uncontrollably with his hands hanging down, looked at Cao Huayu and said, "Tongzhi Cao, call Jinyiwei immediately..."

"Commander Luo, arrange for the arrest of profiteers. The emperor has said that, just leave it to Cao Huayu to handle it."

With a calm expression, Wang Chengen interrupted Luo Yangxing, saying: "Commander Luo, please order a team of troops to follow our family to the Shenshu Camp."

Luo Yangxing: "..."

"Cao Tongzhi, the emperor said, if there is any mistake in the arrest of a traitorous businessman in Gyeonggi..."

Under Luo Yangxing's suspicious gaze, Wang Chengen looked at Cao Huayu and said calmly, "Then you don't have to go back to Jinyiwei, just go home and pick up the child."

When Cao Huayu heard the words, he bowed immediately and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely do my best to arrest all profiteers!"
