Chapter 14 Lu Xiangsheng's Adopted Son and the Raised Curtain

Lu Xiangsheng left the capital.

He was formally appointed by Zhu Youjian as the governor of Shaanxi, praising military affairs, controlling towns, and managing food and pay.

This trip is to go to Daming Mansion, bring my family with me, and go to Xi'an together.

There was also a six-year-old child who set off with him, who was talking to him while sitting in the carriage.

"Dingguo, I said that I won't let you go back to Beijing with me, so as to avoid the pain of traveling back and forth, but you still want to come. That's all right, I'm going back again."

"Father, since you saved me, I have made a decision. No matter where you go, I will follow you. I am still young, and I can't do big things. Making the bed, making the quilt, and serving tea and water are still fine. "

"You."

Lu Xiangsheng rubbed his head and smiled dotingly.

The child's real name was Li Rujing, who was accidentally rescued by him when he was suppressing bandits in Shaanxi.When he heard that his family members were all dead and scattered, and he was the only one left, Lu Xiang felt compassion.Let him go with the army and find a good family to settle him properly after the bandits are suppressed.But he didn't expect that this child was not only smart in appearance, but also extremely intelligent, and the soldiers liked him very much.

During a game, Li Rujing accidentally broke into Lu Xiangsheng's camp, and Lu Xiangsheng was discussing military affairs with everyone.Everyone ignored him when they saw that he was a child, but he was fascinated by what he heard.When Lu Xiangsheng saw this, he jokingly asked him what he thought.I didn't expect him to speak clearly and clearly. Although he was illiterate, he had his own unique views.

Lu Xiangsheng was very happy when he heard this, and praised him for his talent as a famous general!In addition, he was rescued on the way to suppress the bandits, so he was adopted as a adopted son and renamed Dingguo, which meant Dingguo Xingguo.From then on, I took it with me all day long and taught it carefully.After the bandit suppression was over, Lu Xiangsheng originally planned to put him in a classmate's home in Xi'an, and then take him in after returning to Beijing.Unexpectedly, Li Dingguo would be with him no matter what, saying that he would go wherever Lu Xiangsheng went.Li Dingguo has a tenacious character and worked hard all the way without complaining.It made Lu Xiangsheng firmly believe that this son will become a great weapon in the future.

Lu Xiangsheng turned his head and looked in the direction of the capital through the window of the carriage.

At this moment, the capital city is about to change, right?
Zhu Youjian has been forcing himself to calm down. Facing these people, he has to cheer up.

Incompetent rage doesn't solve anything.

He is about to act.

He doesn't want any tenderness and comfort.

What he wants is a purge.

It doesn't matter if you are Donglin or Eunuch, as long as you don't work, get lost!

the nineteenth night of the twelfth lunar month

He summoned Wei Zhongxian.

"So far, how many taels have you received in total?"

“禀万岁，截止到今日，一共收到三千零6万两，去除这几个月来的利息260四万9000两和两户退还本金的5万两。净余两千730六万1000两。”

Before coming, in order to respond to the emperor's inquiry.Wei Zhongxian checked the amount of silver again. He was familiar with how much money he received every month and how much interest he should pay.

"There are so many silver taels, how many factory owners are there?" Zhu Youjian stared at Wei Zhongxian and said indifferently.

Wei Zhongxian, who thought he would be praised by the emperor next, broke out in cold sweat and immediately fell to his knees on the ground, kowtowing to admit his mistake. He noticed the change in the emperor's title.

"Damn slaves!"

"Hehe~ I want to see the account books of the factory owner and see which people in my Ming Dynasty are so rich and can gather so much silver taels in just two or three months."

"Slave, slave."

"What? The factory owner doesn't want me to know?" Zhu Youjian leaned forward.

"The slaves dare not!"

"It's fine if you don't dare, I'll send someone to go pick it up with you. By the way, there are a lot of refugees outside the city recently. If the factory owner is fine, don't leave the palace. Take a good rest."

As he spoke, he waved his hands, and the Yongwei Ying who had been waiting at the side stepped forward to lift Wei Zhongxian who was limp on the ground.Outside the hall, Liu Yuanbin, the supervisor of the Yongwei Battalion, had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Wei Zhongxian coming out, he stepped forward and said:
"Master, our family is going to go with you, I hope you don't embarrass our family."

Wei Zhongxian's face was ashen, and he didn't say a word.It happened so suddenly that he was not prepared at all.

Liu Yuanbin led people straight to Wei Zhongxian's mansion outside the palace, and ordered the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion to surround the mansion.

Seeing this situation, the guard at the door rushed forward to inquire, but was knocked down to the ground and tied up.

"Wrap around, don't let a single person go!"

"Yes!"

The sergeant was ordered to surround the mansion.

"Master, do you take the ledger yourself or do we search it at home?"

Now that things have happened, Wei Zhongxian also knows that his unnecessary resistance is futile.He led everyone to his bedroom, and took out the ledger from a hidden compartment behind the shelf!
Liu Yuanbin flipped through it casually, and it clearly recorded who sent how much silver and when.

He nodded in satisfaction and didn't look any further.Escorted Wei Zhongxian back to the palace to report to Zhu Youjian.

When entering the palace, Wei Zhongxian discovered that the guards in the palace had changed into new faces at some point, and the ones he was familiar with before were all gone, and the guards around Qianqing Palace were even more heavily guarded.

This time, his tried-and-tested crying scene lost its effect. Zhu Youjian ignored his pleas for mercy and didn't listen to what he said. He directly ordered people to take him down and keep him under strict guard.Wei Zhongxian was desperate. He knew that the emperor would not spare him.

Zhu Youjian, on the other hand, took a deep breath and opened the ledger in front of him.

"On the night of September 5th, Tian Ergeng, [-] taels.

On the night of September 3th, Sun Yunhe, [-] taels.

On the night of September [-]th, Li Kuilong..."

Zhu Youjian looked at them one by one, comparing them one by one.Some he knew, some he hadn't even heard the names of.

Honorable, foreign relatives, internal prison, officials, businessmen.It varies from 1 taels to several 10 taels.

shocking!

The Ponzi scheme and Wei Zhongxian, the top player in the Ming Dynasty, are perfectly combined.It stands to reason that Zhu Youjian should be very happy to see so much money, but he is not happy at all.Because the more money these people invested, the more thoroughly the corruption of Daming.The threshold he set is high enough, but it is not as high as these people's level of holding money.

At this time, Zhu Youjian no longer hesitated in his heart.

"Lu Jiude."

"The servant is here!"

"I order you Xichang to arrest all these people tonight according to the list."

"Liu Yuanbin, ordered Xu Yingyuan, and Huang Degong to lead a thousand brave guards to assist Xichang in the arrest. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed. Zhou Yuji will continue to guard the palace. Everyone, etc., are not allowed to enter or leave without my will."

"Chao En, order the British Duke Zhang Weixian to seal the city gate."

After giving several orders in one breath, Zhu Youjian let out a breath.

The list was determined after careful consideration, most of them were internal prisons and officials.

Since corruption is still not working, then go to death.

As for the others, he still has to wait, the time is not ripe yet.

This night was destined to be a nightmare for many people.

These sleeping officials and gentlemen were taken away from the house one by one in disheveled clothes.
