Houmen's concubine

Chapter 177
Not to mention that Zhengdi is really a diligent emperor.

No matter what time he went to bed at night, he formed a habit of waking up at Yin time and going to bed early at Mao time, rain or shine all year round.

Going out, still the same.

Emperor Mingzheng looked at the majestic son Xie in front of him. The swaying Governor-General was at a loss by his concubine's room all his life. He lost the myths and legends that he was strict and polite, and he was not close to women, and he was instantly pulled down from the world.

Haha!

Emperor Mingzheng laughed out loud.

Infected by the emperor's laughter, Wu Zhi, who had a face of joy that was already unbearable, and Cheng Xiao, who was always expressionless, couldn't help but grinned silently.

Only Huang Yu and Xiao Mo were holding back their smiles, pretending that they hadn't heard anything, and standing there solemnly bowing.

Yesterday afternoon, Governor Ning Huaxiu of Qinzhou received the seal sent by Huang Yu to Xie Yuheng, and carefully checked the authenticity.

I was taken aback in my heart-eh?

It is undoubtedly Governor Xie's unique private seal.

The reason, of course, is that the seals of the first-rank officials in the court all have an anti-counterfeiting mark, that is, the black gold mark with the size of a rice on the back of the seal.

ah!Governor Xie's grand visit to Qinzhou, there must be something big happening.

Otherwise, how could the powerful Mr. Xie come to Qinzhou?
If this governor Ning knew that the emperor had arrived, he would be stunned and at a loss!

Governor Ning hurriedly summoned his troops, and immediately led them to Qinzhou City at high speed.

As soon as they arrived in Qinzhou, under Xie Yuheng's command, they immediately surrounded the home of Zhu Yanshen, the richest salt merchant in Qinzhou.

Just last night alone, a profit of more than 500 million taels was found from the account books on the bright side.

Not to mention, Zhu Yanshen is smart.

You can do whatever industry you want to make money in. There are many industries involved, and the daily receipts and withdrawals are also unimaginable.

In addition to private salt trading, he also owned two pawnshops in Qinzhou City. In addition, he also operated porcelain shops, medicine shops, antique shops, and lime kilns.Take a look at these industries, they are all big industries that make money!These shops can make a lot of money every day.

Based on the current prices as a reference, one tael of silver can be exchanged for 1000 renminbi. At present, rice is only 10 renminbi a catty, and the price of pork is about 25 renminbi. Can you imagine how much rice and pork can be bought with 500 million taels of silver?
This is not the account book of his illicit salt sale. If we continue to investigate further today, it is estimated that his family's property is an astronomical figure...

"Master Xiao, Boss Qin is asking to see you." At this time, the guards guarding outside the main room came in, bowed to Emperor Mingzheng, and reported.

Emperor Mingzheng nodded his jaw and said, "Please come in."

Emperor Mingzheng originally took Xie Yuheng and other people to the magistrate's yamen after breakfast, and left the rest of the matter to Ning Zhifu and Governor Ning to deal with the aftermath. He planned to leave Qinzhou and return to Beijing in just two days.

At this moment, Qin Baozhen's face looks sluggish, his face is much older, and the hair on his temples has also increased a lot.

He entered the door and bowed his hands to Emperor Mingzheng and Xie Yuheng, and said in a low voice, listlessly: "I have met Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xie."

"En." Emperor Mingzheng slightly nodded at him.

Xie Yuheng pointed to the Grand Master's chair under the mahogany carved Eight Immortals table and told him to sit down, "Boss Qin is polite, please sit down."

Emperor Mingzheng raised his eyes and saw Qin Baozhen and couldn't help feeling in his heart. A few days ago, his face was still full of spring breeze, like a person with a smiling face like a pistachio, but in just one day, he changed his appearance.

Ugh!
Unfortunately for the family!
Marrying a wrong wife, marrying a cheating wife...

Qin Baozhen had no choice but to come to Master Xiao and Mr. Xie.

Yesterday, before all the guests had left, he took the bank notes prepared by Butler Qin to the magistrate's yamen to find the magistrate Ning.

In the past, when he came to the door for something, the prefect Ning was polite to him.

He also accepted the money, and the matter was settled, never like this time, there was no room for discussion, and he refused.

Qin Baozhen was confused by the magistrate's operation.

It's not a big deal.

Even if Zhang San pretends to be a bandit to kill people and steal goods, it is hateful!
Almost killed his only son, but, isn't his son alive and well?

What's more, it still involves his own wife and uncle, so there is no need to pursue it.

After all, it's my own family, so why not just close the door and deal with it by yourself?
Why bother to go to court, shame on everyone?
How can I gain a foothold in Qinzhou after becoming the joke of the whole Qinzhou people?
At this time, Qin Baozhen didn't know that the Yue family he was proud of had been surrounded by Governor Ning and ransacked the house...
The instigators were the two distinguished guests from the capital in front of him.

Thinking of this, Qin Baozhen stood up from his chair and cupped his hands at the two of them, "Master Xiao, Mr. Xie, I'm here to ask you for my wife's affairs, can you help me once, and ask the prefect of Ning to release my wife?"

"Oh? What did the magistrate say?" Xie Yuheng glanced at Ming Zhengdi before asking.

"The magistrate said that human life is a matter of heaven, so we must interrogate carefully."

"Since human life is at stake, I am afraid that Master Xiao and this young master are also powerless." Xie Yuheng flatly refused.

Xie Yuheng, ever since Shen Mengxi, who was gentle and virtuous on the outside but has a heart of snakes and scorpions on the inside, harmed Wang Tonger, has hated women who are vicious and vicious, secretly tricking and harming others.

Seeing that Xie Yuheng seemed unwilling, Qin Baozhen hurriedly assured him: "Here, as long as the bitch can be released, I will definitely let her reform her past and stop harboring dissatisfaction with her son."

When Xie Yuheng heard it, he couldn't help asking amusedly: "Hey? Boss Qin, what are you offering as a guarantee? Guarantee that she will not harm anyone, your son?"

Qin Baozhen realized later that he was not at home, but as if he was at someone else's home.

No, it seems to be in the lobby of the yamen.

The two guests in front of me are not from my own house, but it seems that the official is trying the case.

The reason, of course, was that the official authority of the two distinguished guests in front of him was too strong, oppressing him almost out of breath.

Qin Baozhen quickly expressed his thoughts: "Wait until she comes back and punish her to go to the ancestral hall to reflect, until she repents."

"Ha! Is it punishment to be so flirtatious?" Xie Yuheng couldn't help but sneered.

"Do you know that if it wasn't for Young Master Qin's fate, he would have passed away long ago." Xie Yuheng said here, his face became serious, and his voice became even colder: "Also, how can you guarantee that she will never save Young Master Qin's life again?" thought?"

Qin Baozhen hesitated for a while and said, "Well, this..."

"Huang Yu, bring people up!"

Xie Yuheng didn't have time to chatter with someone like him who was not clear-headed. He and the emperor still had business to do.

How can I have something to do here to teach him the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty?
"Yes, Master!" Huang Yu, who was waiting outside the door, immediately turned and left.

With his operation, everyone in the room was puzzled.

　In other words, how could there be a salt merchant who was not greedy in ancient times?
