Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 600 The Sugar-Coated Cannonballs of the Ming Capitalists (Please Subscribe!)
Under the "serving" of Xu Qianxue, Hong Lei lived comfortably in Yingtian for a while.

This kind of good life, until he received Zhu Kezang's oral order, let him go to Shanghai for questioning.

Hong Lei thought that Zhu Kezang wanted to ask him quietly because he wanted to see how the cabinet was governing the world during his expedition.

For Hong Shangshu, who was very sensitive to internal strife, he still felt that the emperor trusted him, and asked him if there were any changes in the court during the emperor's expedition.

Because the emperor only called him alone, this is a favor, and it is also a rare opportunity to bring down his political opponent Yang Ying, so he must be seized.

But what Hong Lei didn't expect was that when he was preparing materials to black Yangying.

However, he received a letter from his good brother Xu Qianxue, which immediately made Hong Lei spin his head.

Xu Qianxue is a smart person. Combined with the fact that his filial son Xu Jun was beaten by the man in black, and he couldn't find any clues, he was keenly aware that the situation was not right.

Those men in black were most likely Jin Yiwei.

Immediately contact Hong Lei, the umbrella of the Xu family, by letter.

After reading the letter, he realized that the emperor wanted to ask him because the Xu family had caused trouble.

At this time in the painting boat, Hong Lei looked at Xu Qianxue and was furious, "I said Xu Jian'an (Xu Qianxue's name), why did your Xu family want to harm me?"

Hong Lei said with an angry expression on his face, "Your son is usually arrogant and domineering, but why did he provoke Jin Yiwei? Jin Yiwei is His Majesty's eyes and ears. If you provoke them, you are provoking the emperor. This is not dragging me into the water." ?"

Hong Lei was still too optimistic.

He never thought that it was not Jin Yiwei that Xu Jun provoked, but Long Live Daming.

The more Hong Lei thought about it, the more angry he became, he suddenly raised his voice, and slapped the coffee table, "Also, your Xu family is wicked enough to sell drugs. Isn't this something that kills children and grandchildren?"

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Hong Lei suddenly jumped up, grabbed the teapot, and smashed it on the wall of the painting boat, drenching an authentic painting by Dong Qichang.

This is Xu Qianxue's private painting, and the things inside are very valuable. This Dong Qichang can be said to be the number one calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty, and his authentic works are of high value.

Seeing Xu Qianxue was very distressed, but he swallowed and could only keep silent.

Hong Lei was so angry that he trembled all over, exhaled foul breath, and flicked his sleeves, "I don't care about this matter, you Xu family will fend for itself!"

"Hong Shangshu, you can't ignore this matter!"

Xu Qianxue said anxiously: "Now the imperial envoy has arrived in Songjiang, if you don't care about it, let them check it out, and you won't be able to get rid of it."

Hong Lei snorted coldly: "I don't know what you did, I will explain to His Majesty."

"Hong Shangshu, it doesn't make sense, because you own shares in Yanguan!"

Seeing Hong Lei being so ruthless, Xu Qianxue said indifferently.

This is the end of being hunted, the handle is always in the hands of others.

Hong Lei was stunned, "When will I participate in the smoke house?"

Hong Lei suddenly remembered that the Xu family had given him a dividend a while ago, saying that he had shares in the Xu family's property, and the profits would be distributed to him every quarter.

At that time, he thought that the Xu family would handle affairs, but he didn't expect to step into a big hole.

Hong Lei sat down, feeling a little dazed, "I was ruined by you."

Hong Lei thought of himself sinking into the chair at the end of the day, feeling sluggish, like an eggplant beaten by frost.

Originally, if he didn't do anything, he could leave a few notes in the history books.

It's all over now.

"Hong Shangshu, the matter is not out of hand, otherwise, what should we do?"

Xu Qianxue was optimistic. He felt that with Hong Lei's status, this matter could probably be settled.

Hong Lei was silent for a while, but said: "The only way at this time is that you serve the imperial envoys well and take care of them. If they don't say a word, we will lose a layer of skin. It is best to drag the imperial envoys into trouble, understand?"

"It's still Hong Shangshu who is brilliant!"

Xu Qianxue also laughed, as long as the imperial envoys take a sip of the drug, are they afraid that they will not obey?
After Hong Lei met Xu Qianxue, he went to the Shanghai county government to meet Emperor Zhu Kezang.

When Zhu Kezang saw Hong Lei, he scolded him severely.

For the sake of being a veteran minister, Zhu Kezang didn't intend to take his life, at most he stripped off his official skin.

Hong Lei bowed his head again and again, saying that he was in Yingtian and didn't know that the Xu family did such an outrageous thing.

Zhu Ke and Zang Wenyu exhaled foul breath, "Xu Jiazhen will conduct an investigation, I hope you really did not participate."

Hong Lei assured repeatedly, Zhu Kezang glanced at him, then decided to leave Shanghai, return to Yingtian, and hand over the investigation to Dai Zi.

Dai Zi and Jin Yiwei will figure everything out.

Right and wrong, what to do, he has already warned Hong Lei.

To be honest, if he were Hong Lei, he would surrender himself by now.

Because if he surrenders himself, at least he can end up decently. At that time, Zhu Kezang will let him return to his hometown with a big stroke of a pen, which will also be an honorable retirement.

But if you don't surrender, you are fighting against the court and deceiving the emperor.

No matter what, Zhu Kezang was tired, and he didn't plan to stay in Shanghai anymore, it was boring.

As soon as Zhu Kezang left, Dai Zi and other imperial missions entered Shanghai County from Huating, and the group was arranged in a house by the Huangpu River.

However, Dai Zi was serving as an imperial envoy for the first time, but encountered sugar-coated bullets from the budding capitalists of Ming Dynasty.

The attack was so fierce that officials, including Dai Zi, received intercession from their superiors, subordinates, relatives and classmates one after another.

At night, Dai Zi knew that this could not go on, otherwise he would not be able to complete His Majesty's mission.

He's got to get it over with and get on with Gatling.

Therefore, he secretly summoned the officials of the imperial mission to the Huangpu River for secret talks.

That night, Dai Zi stood by the river, blowing the wind from the river, and several officials stood beside him.

Dai Zi said in a deep voice: "Masters, we are under a lot of pressure! Even Hong Shangshu from the Ministry of Officials came forward to intercede with the Xu family!"

"So do we. My family members write letters asking me what's going on, and people always give me presents!"

Several officials ordered to complain.

"Master Dai, what should we do, should we follow those people's wishes?"

An official asked in a deep voice.

But Dai Zi yelled angrily: "Confused, do you see why the emperor walks so fast?"

"Your Majesty, I just want to see if we imperial envoys can keep our bottom line and keep our original intentions in his absence. If you dare to cover up the Xu family, Jin Yiwei may not be clear about it. It's a trivial matter to lose your official skin at that time, so don't hurt your family. "

Dai Zi originally thought that the Xu family's matter was a trivial matter to go out to relax, but he didn't expect to drag Hong Lei, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

But no matter how difficult it is, it has to be done, and the emperor Zhu Kezang is watching.

If it is not done well, the future of this group of imperial envoys will be worrisome!
Dai Zi regretted it very much, he is just a techie, His Majesty the Emperor is embarrassing him!

In fact, Zhu Kezang is using this to train him, fearing that he won't fight and will be killed one day.

Several people were standing by the river talking, when suddenly a local official ran over, "Lord Dai, so you are here, the reception banquet is about to start, everyone is waiting for you!"
