Chapter 16 Disintegration
Standing in the corridor of Fusheng Pavilion, after listening to Zhu Yu's report, Qi Ze raised his head to the sky and said, "How many steps does it take to make a woman sad? The joy of being newlywed is also consumed by the trivial matters and disappointments in this ordinary life." Exhausted, how long will it take for this inner despair to come? I’m afraid it won’t be long.”

Zhu Yu looked at Qi Ze, a little surprised, the master had never been in close contact with the woman, how could he know the woman's mind so well.

Qi Ze seemed to know what Zhu Yu was thinking, turned his head and said: "You will understand when you have a girl you like, if you really have one in the future, Zhu Yu, remember to be nice to that girl, don't make her sad easily gone."

Zhu Yu: "...Yes." Master, you don't seem to have one yourself, but what you say makes sense.

Life is calm, just like the calm sea, the slightest intervention by a third party will cause ripples.No matter how insignificant the ripples are, I am disturbed by the ripples again and again, and the disappointment in my heart gradually accumulates, and I am fragile and unable to withstand a wave of wind and waves, until the flood bursts.Now the situation of the Jin family has reached a bottleneck, and there is a lack of a fuse, a fuse for the collapse of the Jin family.

In the past few days, Jin Wancai and Fan Xiujun ignored each other, as if this incident had happened, but it seemed that it had never happened.The mansion has always been quiet, but not quiet at the same time.

After Fan Xiujun finished the calculation, he felt something in his heart. It was all a coincidence. After so many days, things didn't get any better. I'm afraid the Jin family has already been targeted.At the same time, I was a little nervous, always feeling that something was going to happen.

When Fan Xiujun just walked to the gate of the Jin Mansion, he saw Jin Duobao running in in a panic. After seeing Fan Xiujun, he ran in front of Fan Xiujun and fell to the ground with weak legs. Fortunately, Fan Xiujun caught him in time.

"Duobao, what's wrong with you? What are you doing running so fast?"

Jin Duobao looked up, his eyes were red, his lips were pale with fright, "Mother, I... I killed someone."

After Fan Xiujun heard this, the face that could still be squeezed into a smile could not be smiled at all. "What did you say?...killing people?"

"Mom, I... didn't do it on purpose. This morning I went to negotiate with the Liu family as usual, but this time the youngest son of the Liu family came out and quarreled with me as soon as he came out. When I got anxious, I..."

"Just what?"

"I just stabbed him with a sword... I was so scared, mother, that man was lying on the ground covered in blood, motionless, I didn't use any force, and I don't know why it happened like this. The Liu family has already reported to the police, I... seem to have killed someone, mother." Jin Duobao fell to the ground, weeping, and said incoherently to Fan Xiujun.

Fan Xiujun only felt his mind buzzing and went blank.Killed?The Liu family has already reported to the officials, isn't it that the people from the Ministry of Punishment will come to arrest him after a while?
"How can you kill people casually, what will you do when the people from the Ministry of Punishment arrive?" Fan Xiujun exclaimed.

"Mom, what should I do? I really didn't do it on purpose. What should I do?" Jin Duobao was also completely frightened, and didn't know what to do.

what to do?How do I know what to do?But being a mother told her not to panic, so she calmed down and said to Jin Duobao, "Duobao, pack up some things now, run out the back door, and hide at grandma's house for a few days. When the turmoil of these days passes, mother I'll go to Fan's house to find you."

Jin Duobao also nodded quickly when he heard it, and stood up to go back to his room to pack up his things.But at this moment, I heard a voice with a deep smile, which contained a few traces of foolishness, but also contained an irresistible majesty.

"Madam Jin, what are you doing? Why does Young Master Jin have such an ugly face? Could it be that he is planning to escape? This is not allowed."

At the same time, there were rustling sounds from behind, as if many people had been brought.

When Fan Xiujun heard this voice, his heart immediately turned cold. This time it was really doomed.Because the person who said these words was none other than Chu Kainan, the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, a person with a detached position in the Ministry of Criminal Justice who spoke his mind.

In the Ministry of Criminal Justice, you don't need to know anyone, but you must have heard the name of Chu Kainan, the servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.He has been gifted in judging cases since he was a child. There is not a single unjust case in his hands, and he can close the case in the shortest time.

At the same time, it is also synonymous with the devil of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Regardless of his young age, his methods are extremely cruel and insensitive. He is proficient in using the instruments of torture in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The reason why he can close the case in the shortest time is because he can pry open the prisoner's mouth in the shortest time.Every prisoner who has been interrogated is covered in bruises and blood, and life is worse than death.

I saw a tall and straight man with sharp eyebrows and star-eyed, angular handsome man standing beside him. The man folded his hands on his chest, and the corners of his mouth were curled up with a hint of indecency. The formation is so huge that it looks unreasonably scary.

Looking at the handsome man in front of him who was looking at her with a smile, Fan Xiujun said with a dry smile, "I don't know what Master Chu is talking about this time?"

Chu Kainan glanced at Jin Duobao, and said with a smile, "It's nothing, it's just that someone said that Young Master Jin killed someone, and I'm here to arrest him and bring him back for interrogation and investigation."

trial?Hearing this word, Fan Xiujun felt cold all over his body. Is this going to be brought back to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for torture?How can Duobao bear it?

"No, Duobao didn't kill anyone. I killed him. Take me back. Because the Liu family has always been at odds with the Jin family, I hold a grudge. Master Chu, I ordered this matter behind the scenes and it has nothing to do with Duobao. , catch me back!"

Jin Duobao looked at Fan Xiujun in surprise, turned his head and said to Chu Kainan: "No, Master Chu, I killed people. One person does one thing and one person takes responsibility. It wasn't my mother who did it. You arrest me, don't arrest my mother. "

Chu Kainan frowned and looked at Fan Xiujun, "Madam Jin, I am just enforcing the law impartially, please don't disturb the court's affairs."

The commotion brought Jin Wancai over, and when he saw Chu Kainan with a large group of officers and soldiers behind him, he knew something big had happened.He hurried over and asked, "Lord Chu, why are you here? Did something happen?"

Chu Kainan cupped his hands to Jin Wancai and said, "Master Jin, someone reported that Young Master Jin had murdered, so I came here to arrest him and bring him to justice for further investigation."

Jin Wancai was also stunned, and said intermittently: "Killing people?... Gouzi has always been humble to others and has never had any grudges with others. How could he kill people? There must be some misunderstanding."

"This official is not clear. Some people say that Young Master Jin killed people, and this official can only act impartially. Please, Mr. Jin, don't embarrass this official." Then, Chu Kainan shouted: "Come here, take the prisoner Jin Duobao back The Ministry of Punishment awaits investigation."

"Yes." Afterwards, a large group of officers and soldiers stepped forward and grabbed Jin Duobao. Jin Wancai and Fan Xiujun wanted to stop him, but they were too frightened by the glaring weapons in their hands.

Seeing that the man had been arrested, Chu Kainan bowed his hands to Jin Wancai and Fan Xiujun and left with Jin Duobao.

Originally, Jin Wancai and Fan Xiujun were going out to work on the business of the salt store, but now that Jin Duobao was taken away, the two of them lost their mood and sat in the room, looking at me and I looking at you, without a moment's notice. talk.

After the magnolia tree incident that day, the two never spoke again, and it was the first time that they sat together quietly like today.

After a long time, Fan Xiujun said, "Did you already know that the Jin family's incident was caused by the court behind the scenes?"

Originally, Fan Xiujun didn't know it well, but recently the Jin family seemed to have offended the god of plague, repeatedly committing offenses and never going well.Now that Jin Duobao has been arrested, Fan Xiujun is fascinated. Isn't the court doing all this behind the scenes?

The Jin family has always been competing with the imperial court for business, and the tree attracts the wind. Sometimes the business is too good to be used by others.Although they have always had a fluke mentality, even if they want to kill chickens and monkeys, it may not necessarily be the Jin family.Or there must be signs before the court takes action, and it will be fine to retreat bravely when the time comes.

But it was only then that you realized that before you realized all this, the enemy had already grabbed your throat and made you breathless.When you really reacted, you were already deep in it and couldn't extricate yourself.

Hearing Fan Xiujun's question, Jin Wancai lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "Yes."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier, are you not willing to let others take all of this easily? You have finally reached this point, but you are not willing to give it all with both hands?" Fan Xiujun asked with tears in the corners of his eyes.

Jin Wancai lowered his head, noncommittal.

Seeing Jin Wancai like this, Fan Xiujun tasted despair for the first time.The only son she relied on was taken away, but her husband was indifferent and still guarding the property of the Jin family. How could this not be chilling.

Thinking of her son's suffering in the Ministry of Justice, she can't do anything as a mother.Pain in the child's body and mother's heart, finally Fan Xiujun couldn't bear it anymore, tears poured out of his eyes like a river breaking an embankment, tears fell like rain, and knelt down in front of Jin Wancai.

"Wancai, I beg you. I can tolerate that woman named Yanzhi, but I beg you to save Duobao, since they want it, give it to them! Do we not want to complete the assets of the Jin family? I have been with you for so many years, I know you are very sad. After Duobao comes back, we reconcile, and I will give you the money from the Fan family, so that you will not lose money. You take the money, I only want Duobao, I want Duobao is back."

Hearing this, Jin Wancai looked at his wife who had been married to him for many years, and knew that she had been wronged by him when she got married.For so many years, this was also the first time he had seen Fan Xiujun cry. She was usually proud and strong, and she had never been so subdued in front of others like today, but it was only when she cried this time that he realized how heartbroken he was, and he didn't want to see her being wronged.

"Xiujun, I don't like that rouge. My heart aches when Duobao is arrested, and I won't take money from the Fan family..." There are many ways to save Jin Duobao, and I originally thought of using other methods to find someone to accommodate her , but seeing Fan Xiujun crying more and more fiercely, Jin Wancai knelt down and hugged Fan Xiujun in his arms, "Okay, tomorrow, I will send all the house deeds, land deeds and silver taels of the Jin family to the household department. We don't want anything." Yes, as long as Duobao can come back."

Although there are other methods, sending money to the Ministry of Households is the most direct and effective method. If you want to solve the problem, you must solve it fundamentally. Since the imperial court wants it, just give it!

This was the first time Jin Wancai called Fan Xiujun's boudoir name like this after getting married. Fan Xiujun trembled and cried even more when he heard it.

On the second day, Jin Wancai went to the household department with all the assets of the Jin family as promised.In the afternoon of the next day, the Ministry of Criminal Justice brought Jin Duobao back.

When Jin Duobao came back, Fan Xiujun hurriedly called the doctor. The doctor checked carefully and found that he was not injured, but was frightened and his face was a little pale.Said to prescribe some medicine to replenish qi and blood, and take a good rest for a few days.

After hearing this, Fan Xiujun finally felt relieved.

Because of the assets of the Jin family, the Ministry of Finance finally eased up a lot, and lifted the suppression of the Jin family for dozens of days.Because of this, Qi Ze got the military salary from the Ministry of War and gave the military salary to Zheng Shen.

When Zheng Shen saw the military salary that Qi Ze brought, he glanced at Qi Ze and said, "You did a good job, faster than I thought. But you have to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and keep working hard. I will follow the It is agreed to give you the official position of the fifth-rank doctor, and you will not be kicked by the horse again."

Qi Ze: "..." She just made up a lie, but Zheng Shen still remembered it.However, the injury on his shoulder has completely healed, and Que Yu's strength is too great, so we need to guard against him in the future.

It's just that I didn't expect the Jin family to have so much money. Although they didn't have deep roots when they first arrived in Ding capital, in terms of assets, they are absolutely wealthy. No wonder Jin Wancai is so reluctant to part with this money, even if he is an ordinary person.

At the same time, because of the incident of the Jin family, Xu Bai, Minister of the Household Department, wrote a letter to Emperor Zhaozheng, saying that the government-run industry of salt and iron can also be sold at a cheaper price, in order to ensure the normal inflow and normal operation of the Ministry of Household Bank. , Strictly carry out monopoly of salt and iron.Emperor Zhaozheng also re-emphasized this aspect, and the policy on merchants was rectified again to consolidate the rule of the court.

The businessmen were also frightened by the news of this rectification, and they all reduced the scale of their industries, lest they be caught by the court and decline like the Jin family.Dongshi has also restored the situation where the imperial court's industry is dominated by one family, and the fiscal revenue of the household department has also increased.

The problem of the shortage of silver in the household department was solved in this way.

　Momo wants to declare here that it is wrong for the heroine to resist the business development of the Jin family for the sake of the household department.

　　In ancient history, the Han Dynasty issued a policy of monopolizing salt and iron to ensure sufficient treasury.This policy was indeed conducive to imperial rule at the time, but in the long run, the salt and iron monopoly policy resisted commercial development and was not conducive to the emergence of capitalism.

　　The policy of suppressing commercial development made China fail to keep up with the trend of the times during the Ming Dynasty, coupled with the policy of maritime embargo and closed-door policy, China gradually fell behind.

　　But in the novel, the heroine's actions ensure the inflow of funds from the household department, which is beneficial to the rule of the court.

　　As long as everyone understands it in their hearts, don't confuse it with the knowledge you have learned in history textbooks.mwah.
