Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 117 The Arrogance of Jin Yiwei
This time Jin Yiwei's sweeping of the acupoints in Liting caused great panic among the people in the capital.

Because compared to the previous ones that only arrested high-ranking officials, this time they only arrested small officials and ordinary bookstores.

This made many people mistakenly think that there is something wrong with the book, so they went home and rummaged through the boxes. All things that could be related to the previous dynasty were destroyed. Some people even tore up the perpetual calendar that was pasted on the wall during the Yuan Dynasty for the sake of caution. down.

However, the process of Jin Yiwei arresting people is still going on, and there is no sign of ending.

Wang's butcher's shop on Shangyuan Street was surrounded by people watching the excitement.

Although they were very upset about this Wang Ermazi, who was short of money and short of money, and forced to buy and sell, but seeing him suddenly taken away by Jin Yiwei, they still couldn't help wondering, what crime did this guy commit?
As for his little problem of lack of weight, he wouldn't be targeted by the emperor...

A well-informed person immediately came out to explain.

"You guys don't understand this, what is the last name of the emperor of our Daming?"

"Zhu!"

"Look at this guy who kills pigs every day, it's not because he violated the emperor's taboo. It's not a loss to charge him with treason!"

"what?"

"I won't let you kill pigs, so what should I do if I eat pork in the future?"

"So let's stock up more pork while you can still get it, lest you won't be able to buy it if you want to buy it in a few days!"

Under the witty trick, the onlookers dispersed immediately, and went to other streets to buy pork in large quantities.

Wang Ermazi also felt that he had died unjustly. Didn't he just kill a pig and occasionally read pornographic books? Which family's law was violated!

"Mr. Jun, did you find the wrong person? You really haven't broken any law. Why are you arresting me?"

Jin Yiwei smashed a book of Jin Ping Mei found in his room on his face.

"Did you buy this book!"

"Yes!"

"It cost me three hundred dollars, and I have to sell dozens of catties of pork to earn it back. I feel so sorry for me!"

"But the book is really good, especially that Pan Jinlian, tsk tsk..."

When Wang Ermazi said this, he suddenly froze.

"Master Jun, I would like to ask you a question, did our Daming break the law by reading the script?"

"It's not against the law to read the script, but it's a violation of the royal law to read the imitated script!"

"take away!"

"Take away the crime tools!"

"okay!"

As soon as Jinyiwei Xiaoqi's words fell, several Jinyiwei warriors immediately understood, and happily carried away half a piece of pork on the meat table.

After Wang Ermazi was taken away, his accomplice Wang Xiaoer in Caiji Restaurant was also approached by Jin Yiwei.

"You are Wang Xiaoer?"

"Yes... yes..."

"What happened to you!"

When Wang Xiaoer heard this, he was scared to pee.

"Master Jun, the younger one really didn't rebel. The younger one just took some kickbacks from Wang Ermazi's butcher shop and took two catties of lard from him every month. This crime shouldn't bother the noble soldiers of Jinyiwei, right?"

"It's not about this, it's about you looking at the imitation printed book!"

"What imitation book?"

Jin Yiwei took out a curled copy of the imitation Jin Ping Mei from his pocket, and slapped the guy's face with the book.

"This is it!"

"Get the stolen goods!"

"take away!"

Just as Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi was about to take the criminals away, Jin Yiwei Lishi hurriedly reminded him.

"head!"

"What about the crime tool of this family?"

Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi looked at the plaque of Caiji Restaurant and thought about it.

"Then seal up the restaurant. From now on, it will be the property of His Royal Highness the Third Emperor!"

"okay!"

The owner of Caiji Restaurant never imagined that he would set up the restaurant just because a guy read a copy book...

Three days later, when Zhu Yunxi saw the battle report handed over by Jin Yiwei, he felt a burst of sweat running down his spine.

In just three days, they arrested thirteen officials, closed down 34 bookstores, 24 restaurants, 3000 tea shops, butcher shops, and silk shops, and even buyers who bought imitation printed books were arrested. Let it go, a total of more than [-] people were arrested...

Xu Liuzi saw the surprised expression of His Royal Highness the Third Emperor, and asked a question recklessly.

"His Highness the Third Emperor, do you think you are satisfied with this case?"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he was so angry that he cursed.

"Satisfied with your size!"

"You are trying to put me to death. If Grandpa Huang finds out about this, you must hang me from the beam and beat me to death!"

Xu Liuzi waited for Zhu Yunxi's praise with full expectation, but he didn't expect to be reprimanded for a while, and he was wronged so much.

"Your Highness, didn't you say that whoever dares to print your book secretly, you will arrest him in Jinyiwei Prison, peel his skin, constrict his tendons, hang him on the beam of the house and bleed him..."

"We are just arresting people under your order, and we haven't done anything else..."

Hearing what Xu Liuzi said, Zhu Yunxi wanted to slap himself a few times.

Why is my mouth so cheap, I have nothing to learn from that bad old man!

But through this incident, he understood why Zhu Yuanzhang in history banned Jinyiwei before his death.

This thing is a double-edged sword. If it is not managed well, it will cause you a big mess.

It's just a small case of confiscating a counterfeit book, and they can arrest thousands of people for you.If my uncle and grandpa committed a crime, no tens of thousands of people would be able to stop it.

"This is my fault!"

"I apologize to you Jin Yiwei. I said something wrong and made you misunderstand!"

Seeing what Zhu Yunxi said, Xu Liuzi quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"Your Highness is right, it is the little ones who will get it wrong."

"Then now that people have been arrested and the shop is closed, what should your Highness do?"

"Ugh……"

Zhu Yunxi sighed, and looked at Xu Liuzi helplessly, his heart full of thoughts.

The reason why Jiang Yu asked Xu Liuzi to report the results of the case was to test Zhu Yunxi's thinking.

If Zhu Yunxi is satisfied, then there is nothing to say, the house will be ransacked if it is necessary, and the head will be beheaded if it is necessary.

If Zhu Yunxi felt that they had gone too far, they also had remedial measures.

The focus of their handling of the case this time is to let Zhu Yunxi know their Jin Yiwei's loyalty and respect!
Zhu Yunxi was depressed for a while, and then spoke again.

"All the stores involved in the case, those not directly involved in the case will be released, and no disturbance is allowed!"

"For imitation book printing workshops and bookstores that sell imitation books, a punishment of five times the value of the case is enough."

When Xu Liuzi heard that the punishment was so light, he couldn't help muttering in a low voice.

"Your Highness, you are too benevolent, why don't you punish me fifty times?"

Zhu Yunxie glared at Xu Liuzi, so frightened that Xu Liuzi immediately shut up.

"Those who buy imitation books will also be fined a few taels of silver and let them go!"

"By the way, do you Jinyiwei have the right to fine you?"

Xu Liuzi shook his head upon hearing this.

"Returning to Your Highness, Jin Yiwei only has the right to arrest people, ransack their homes, and torture them, not the right to fine them."

Seeing what Xu Liuzi said, Zhu Yunxi frowned and thought about it.

"Then put it another way, sell them the original book at five times the price, and ask them to sign a voluntary subscription book!"

Xu Liuzi immediately gave a thumbs up when he heard the words, and smiled meanly.

"Your Highness is wise, I know what to do now, hehehe..."

Just as Zhu Yunxi sent Xu Liuzi away, the two tigers came in.

In fact, Erhu also felt that Jiang Yu had gone too far in this matter, and too many people were involved.Especially with the involvement of many officials, this is simply digging a hole for His Royal Highness!
The two tigers hated Jiang Yu to death now, and wished they could find someone to kill him in the middle of the night, and it would be fine to arrest a few businessmen, but how could they stab the civil servant's hornet's nest!
"Your Highness, Jin Yiwei has also arrested more than a dozen officials. How do you plan to deal with these people?"

Zhu Yunxi only felt a headache when he heard the words, this group of bastards who did not do enough and did more than bad things were really going to kill themselves.

"Uncle Tiger, do you have a list?"

"Have!"

Erhu took out a list from his sleeve and handed it over. Zhu Yunxie just glanced at it and jumped off the chair in fright.

"Huang Zicheng?"

"Why did you catch this thing!"

Zhu Yunxi didn't know much about history, so he happened to have a little impression of Huang Zicheng.

In history, Zhu Yunwen cut down the vassal because he listened to this fellow.

Now that Jin Yiwei has arrested this guy, when this guy comes to power in the future, he will be the first to kill himself.

"Where is Huang Zicheng locked up by you guys, hurry up and take me there!"

"promise!"

On the way to Beizhen Fusi, Zhu Yunxi asked Erhu anxiously.

"Uncle Tiger, Grandpa Huang doesn't know about this, does he?"

"It's probably because I don't know. Jiang Yu is quite smart. He dug up an old case against the book and reported it with this excuse."

Zhu Yunxi finally let go of the stone hanging in his heart when he heard Erhu say this.

"That's good...but don't let Grandpa Huang know, or the old man can beat me to death..."

"Your Highness, there must be no one on Jinyiwei's side who dares to talk too much. They are afraid of the civil servants. This time, Jiang Yu has arrested a lot of civil servants. Maybe he will poke the hornet's nest on the civil servants' side."

"If they write a letter to impeach His Highness, then His Highness will be out of luck!"

"what!"

Zhu Yunxi said viciously when he heard the words.

"Damn Jiang Yu!"

"If I get beaten this time, I have to beat him back!"

While Zhu Yunxi was full of thoughts, Erhu seemed a little worried.

This time Jiang Yu did too much, if the emperor just beat the young master up, it would be considered a good thing.I'm afraid that the emperor will become suspicious of the young master after listening to the slander, and will hate the young master from then on...

　Thanks to Hkkamituky for the 5000 taels of silver reward, and also thanks to melon skin and changing the nickname... for the reward, long live my emperor!
