Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 668 Unexpected

"Master, our shops are also under surveillance!"

"Is it Jin Yiwei?"

"The owner of the home is none other than Jin Yiwei!"

"..."

"Master, it's bad, our caravan can't leave the city!"

"what?"

At this time, Wang Genwen couldn't sit still at all.

"Why do they dare to imprison us, a noble family like this?"

"Sir, they said that our family used the name of His Highness, Prince Yan, to secretly fill up the table with salt in Shandong, and also oppressed and exploited the people!"

"They are slandering us!"

Wang Genwen was immediately furious, "Get the car ready, I'm going to the government office to sue them!"

"Yes, sir!"

The servants quickly prepared the car.

Soon, Wang Genwen arrived outside the government office.

Entering the government office, before Wang Genwen could say anything, the prefect spoke first.

"Brother Wang, don't open your mouth. This matter has been dealt with by the higher-ups. As long as those royal guards don't hurt you, members of the Wang family, we are not allowed to interfere!"

Wang Genwen's face changed slightly, and then he even became more aggrieved, "Master Fu, before I waited... Master Fu, those guards in imperial robes imprisoned our family in the city without any evidence. Such a large caravan could not even leave the city." .

If you delay for one day, you will waste thousands of dollars! "

“Moreover, these Jin Yiwei are now acting so wantonly.

If you dare to bully the gentry like us today without any basis, I am afraid that you will bully all the princes in the future..."

"All right!"

The prefect of Yanping Prefecture waved his hands slightly, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"Master Wang, don't waste your time with me. If I, a small prefect, dare to say one more word on this matter, I'm afraid my whole family will be involved tomorrow.

Considering the relationship we have had for many years, I would like to advise you, Mr. Wang, to go back as soon as possible and think carefully about who you have offended, right?
Think again, do the Wang family have any connections with heaven that they have accumulated over the years? Go and take a walk.

It’s too late, it’s really hopeless! "

"This……"

Wang Genwen was stunned for a moment, then stood up, saluted the prefect Shu Peijun with gratitude, and hurried out.

"Pooh!"

Seeing Wang Genwen walk out, Shu Peijun spat on the ground with disgust on his face.

"With this kind of thinking, you still want to stir up trouble in front of me, without even looking at what kind of person you are!
The Jinyi Guards are so upright, but you, the Wang family, still want to drag me into trouble..."

After returning home, Wang Genwen explained the situation, and all the Wang family members were immediately filled with indignation.

“When officials like Shu Peijun are in trouble, they wish they could call me daddy.

Your Highness, when these things happen, you stay far away and don’t want to help at all! "

"Master, those royal guards must have received orders from above!"

"Is our Wang family really in trouble this time?"

"Master, should our Wang family unite with other families and summon those below..."

"Shut up!"

Just when everyone's expressions were moving, Wang Genwen roared angrily.

"My Wang family didn't make any big mistakes, otherwise the Jin Yiwei would have rushed in!

Now, they Jin Yiwei only dare to monitor from a distance because they don't know how to treat my Wang family!

Don't think about those stupid things that destroyed the nine tribes. Weren't those majestic things last year easily defeated by the Jin Yiwei and Shenji Battalion? "

"Besides, my Wang family is not without connections in the capital!
I will write a few letters to those people in a while and ask them to help my Wang family to intercede. Maybe this time, my Wang family can get through it safely! "

"What the head of the family said is absolutely true! You must not be impulsive!"

With that said, everyone from the Wang family slowly dispersed.

Wang Genwen did not deceive everyone in the Wang family, but directly started writing letters.

just.

After all, the Wang family is a wealthy gentry family.

When the clan has a large population, its thoughts are unstable.

After Wang Yuanhai returned to his house, he became more and more angry.

“Why? Wang Genwen is so incompetent, but his family still gets all the benefits.

Now, after I made such a big mistake, I actually let me wait in peace while he went to ask for help? "

"Does he think that Jin Yiwei is his servant and can listen to him? Or does he think that those in the capital dare to provoke Jin Yiwei, or even provoke His Majesty?
He made such a big mistake, why should we, the Wang family, be punished together with him? "

The more he thought about it, the angrier Wang Yuanhai became.

Immediately, he walked to the study room, quietly studying ink and writing.

same.

In Ji'an Prefecture, Linjiang Prefecture, and Raozhou Prefecture, some of the gentry families in these prefectures are also in the same situation as the Wang family.

The entire family was watched closely by the Jin Yiwei, and all the clan members were terrified!
Then, everyone started to have their own thoughts!
Even the Jin Yiwei were dumbfounded by the things some clan members did.

Immediately, he quickly sent people to the capital.

A few days later.

The capital, the imperial palace, and the martial arts building.

Zhu Di sat above him with a gloomy look.

Below, King Yan Zhu Gaoxu was kneeling on the ground with a look of fear on his face.

"Dad, my child doesn't know about those southern gentry affairs!"

"Humph!"

Zhu Di snorted coldly, stared at Zhu Gaoxu with a dark face, and said in a cold voice: "Zhu Gaoxu, we are not old yet, let alone confused. You already think that you can deceive us about such a big thing?"

Zhu Gaoxu trembled all over and replied hurriedly: "Dad, I really don't dare to lie to you!"

"well!"

Zhu Di laughed angrily, "We originally thought that since you are our son, these matters can be handled as family matters, so we didn't let Wang Zhen take Jin Yiwei to Peking to ask questions.

Since you still have such thoughts, there is no need to be polite! "

With that said, Zhu Di shouted directly outside, "Yi Shi Ha!"

"The slave is here!"

Yi Shiha hurriedly ran in.

"Give us the order Wang Zhen, let him..."

"Dad, the child is wrong!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu's expression changed drastically and he kowtowed repeatedly.

"I remember, those southern gentry had no good intentions from the beginning. I also wanted to take advantage of them. These thieves..."

On the side, Yi Shiha hurriedly looked at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di waved his hand, and Yi Shiha breathed a sigh of relief and retreated as if running away.

Only then did Zhu Di quietly look at Zhu Gaoxu below.

Zhu Gaoxu continued: "Dad, I never have any thoughts that I shouldn't have.

However, the child is King Yan.

When you were in Peiping, Peiping was under great rule, the people were prosperous, and commerce was prosperous.

Now that I have become King Yan, I cannot disgrace you, and I also want to bring great order to the Beiping Mansion.

It’s just that everything a child can think of is available in Peiping..."

"Children are also anxious. Until last year, Wang Zhen led the Jinyi Guards and Shenji Battalion and began to arrest corrupt officials and evil gentry in the south. They ransacked so many houses and killed so many people, alleviating the drought in the north.

At that moment, more than a dozen noble families from the south suddenly came to visit..."

"go on!"

"At the beginning, they said that Beiping Mansion is the land of Longxing, and the princes of the Ming Dynasty are all so fat and cannot live long..."

"These traitors!" Zhu Di was furious.

Zhu Gaoxu trembled and said hurriedly: "Dad, my child will not believe these words.

The child is also very convinced of the eldest brother's abilities.

Moreover, my father was in his prime, and his eldest brother was accompanied by the King of Shunde County. He was also very satisfied with his eldest brother, and he loved the boy Zhanji so much!
The child doesn’t dare to have any messy thoughts..."

"It's just that when I was worried that I couldn't bring peace to Peiping again, those southern gentry came!
All of them are willing to come to Peiping to do business and build workshops in Peiping. The boy thought that each of them, the southern gentry, has at least one million in property hidden in their homes. If Peking has them, Peking will be more prosperous... "

"So, you know that they have evil intentions, but you still let them do whatever they want?"

Zhu Di asked angrily with a dark face.

As for Zhu Gaoxu's explanation just now, he already believed it.

As Zhu Gaoxu said, the emperor was still in his prime, and it was simply impossible for Zhu Gaoxu to accumulate strength and then rebel.

Moreover, the prince's prestige in the court is increasing day by day.

As long as the Crown Prince is safe, he, a mere Prince of Yan's Mansion, has no ability to rebel.

"Dad, I thought those southern gentry couldn't change the world if they were watching!"

Zhu Gaoxu explained hurriedly.

"what about now?"

Zhu Di looked disdainful, "What benefits did those thieves bring to Beiping Mansion?"

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a long time and opened his mouth, but he couldn't think of anything.

"..."

"Oppressing the people, stealing and selling private salt, and borrowing the reputation of your Prince Yan Palace. We have never seen such a stupid vassal prince like you!"

Zhu Di scolded, "That's it, you still want to hide it for those gentry!"

"Do you still want to wipe away all traces of those southern gentry in Beiping Mansion?"

Zhu Gaoxu looked shocked and looked at Zhu Di with disbelief on his face.

Zhu Di felt even more helpless when he looked at Zhu Gaoxu's stupid expression.

"Isn't it possible that you haven't reacted yet? Do you think that we have placed personnel in your Prince Yan's Mansion?"

Zhu Gaoxu said quickly, "I don't dare, kid."

"Fool!"

Zhu Di was a little angry that he refused to argue, "Do you think we have been the King of Yan in Beiping for so many years in vain?
Do you still need us to deploy people?
If we want to know the situation in Peking among the officials, soldiers, gentry, merchants, vendors and common people, we can send someone to ask them. What can't be answered? "

"You are as stupid as a deer and a pig, and you still want to hide it from us?
Those southern gentry have exposed this matter. You still want to clean up their traces and disassociate yourself from them. You want us to doubt that you are really secretly working with those southern thieves. What's the deal? …”

The more he talked, the angrier Zhu Di became.

Zhu Gaoxu also looked dissatisfied.

"Dad, those southern thieves are useless, I didn't expect them to be short-sighted!"

Zhu Di sneered, "Those gentry families were able to survive from the Song Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, and then from the Yuan Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty. Do you actually think they are short-sighted?"

"This……"

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment.

Immediately, he reacted, his face full of surprise.

"Dad, are you saying those southern thieves did this on purpose?"

"What do you say?"

Zhu Di sneered.

Zhu Gaoxu found it difficult to accept, "This is impossible!"

Zhu Di directly picked up a stack of letters from the desk in front of him and threw them towards Zhu Gaoxu.

"See for yourself!"

"Dad, what is this?"

Zhu Gaoxu picked it up subconsciously, opened one and started reading.

"The villain Wang Yuanhai turned himself in to report. Wang Genwen, the head of the Wang family, Yuan Shangxue, the head of the original family in Raozhou Prefecture, and He Chenghai, the head of the He family in nearby Prefecture...

There are more than ten gentry families who are crazy and ambitious.

Afraid that the Jin Yiwei would unite with the northern gentry and destroy the southern gentry clan, and worried that the north would encounter natural disasters, the court raided the homes of the southern gentry clan to provide relief to the victims in the north.

These people colluded and wanted to go north to join forces with His Highness King Yan in Peiping to arouse His Highness’s desire. If...

Your Majesty, please take pity on the villain and the others. As concubines from a wealthy family, the villain and the others dare not disobey the orders of their direct descendants.

However, the villain can't bear to see so many innocent people in the family die following the master's stupidity! "

"These... these damn thieves!"

The more he looked, the angrier and more confused Zhu Gaoxu became.

He had tried his best to cover it up, but he didn't expect that these southern gentry were so useless. Not only were they discovered by the Jin Yiwei, but now even the clan members at home began to turn themselves in and report them!
What a helpless waste...

Immediately, his face was filled with fear again.

"Dad, I'm wronged. I just want to take advantage of these southern thieves. I don't have any inappropriate intentions at all!"

"Humph!"

Zhu Di sneered directly, "As a royal child and a direct king, who wouldn't have that kind of thought?
However, some people can control their greed, while others cannot!

Those who cannot restrain themselves will be imprisoned or their whole family executed unless the rebellion succeeds! "

Zhu Gaoxu's expression changed drastically again.

Zhu Di continued: "However, the boss is kind-hearted. If you want to rebel, he will not be cruel enough to kill you..."

"Dad, my child definitely doesn't have that kind of thoughts and is self-aware!"

Zhu Gaoxu explained hurriedly.

"When I go back, I will kill all those southern thieves!"

Zhu Di said angrily again, "Why do you kill people?"

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned.

"Even if those southern thieves committed the serious crime of beheading, they should be tried and convicted by the government before being beheaded."

"As the King of Yan, you feel that there are not enough memorials from the censors to impeach you?"

"My child knows I'm wrong!"

Zhu Gaoxu quickly admitted his mistake.

"Idiot, I didn't expect that after being the King of Yan for so many years, you would become more and more stupid as you became more and more stupid. With all your brute strength, you would be tricked by those thieves..."

The more he talked, the angrier Zhu Di became.

"Get out of here, let's think about how to punish those southern traitors!"

"Yes, Dad!"

Zhu Gaoxu didn't dare to say anything more and quickly retreated.

However, before he had gone very far, his whole body froze.

"I've met my brother!"

Zhu Gaochi rushed over and asked with a worried look on his face, "How are you? Father didn't beat you, did he?"

"Big brother, I'm fine!"

Zhu Gaoxu replied.

"As long as it's okay!"

Zhu Gaochi looked Zhu Gaoxu up and down, and then nodded with confidence.

"By the way, what did you do that made dad summon you back in such a hurry?"
