People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 139 Zhu Yuanzhang: Stand up and kill only one of you, otherwise I will kill your entire family! !

I don't know which window, but there is a pair of eyes staring at Chen Han and Xia Yuanji.

These people are desperadoes bought from afar by those with vested interests.

These people are still watching in secret.

As Shen Liqian said, he is the easiest to be killed among the three people.

Because he has no power, no power, no status, but he is only 35 or [-] years old, and he has managed to get into the position of a fellow magistrate of Songjiang Prefecture.

In the current environment, his background is indeed the weakest.

Therefore, killing Shen Liqian became their best choice.

Xia Yuanji found Song Zhichang.

This businessman who was the first businessman to have his name engraved on a merit monument in order to raise funds for disaster relief has been well-known during this period.

Other merchants are either lacking in quality or shoddy products.

Only the various shops in Song Zhichang's family follow one principle - honest business.

Therefore, his business is getting better and better. In this half year, the profit is more than ten times greater than the previous half year.

In his heart, he had always wanted to repay Xia Yuanji's kindness.

So when Xia Yuanji found him, Song Zhichang was very honored.

Xia Yuanji didn't talk nonsense to him. He wanted him to summon some businessmen and send their sons to the engineering college.

Song Zhichang has been doing business in the capital. How could he not know that Shen Liqian was killed at the gate of the Engineering College?

And it was rumored that the Daming Institute of Engineering was teaching demonic arts and offending the gods, which led to Shen Liqian's murder?

He heard it all.

So Song Zhichang just nodded, "Sir, please wait for me for three days."

Xia Yuanji didn't ask for much guarantee from him.

Chen Han went to the craftsmen in Lishui County and told them about Daming Engineering College.

And when they were hit by disasters, the imperial court followed its work-for-relief method to save the victims of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the above did not agree on the spot, it could be seen that some people were indeed tempted.

After Chen Han and Xia Yuanji returned, there was no movement for three days.

When Zhu Yunwen saw this situation, he finally burst into laughter: "I knew it! I knew it would be like this! You all refused to give up, and now you have finally given up!"
No one will come. Everyone knows that what you are doing here is all evil. If you do not obey the teachings of the saints and deviate from the principles of the saints for thousands of years, what can you accomplish? "

Everyone thought he was barking, and no one paid any attention.

But looking at the sundial's needle, it was about to point to noon, but still no one came.

Chen Han and Xia Yuanji were also a little worried.

The street of Engineering College was originally very lively, but after Shen Liqian was killed, it became very lively.

It suddenly became depressed, and not many people dared to come here.

Everyone seemed to know that this place was cursed.

Those Hanlin Academy students who were responsible for teaching students how to read and write were arranged at the entrance of the academy to register new students.

But it seems that they don't need it now, because they feel that the blush paper is wasted and there is no chance that anyone will come over.

"My lord, it's been three days. I don't think there's any need to waste time by waiting here to bask in the sun every day, right?" a lecturer at the Imperial Academy said angrily.

They were very dissatisfied when they were forcibly transferred from the Hanlin Academy to the School of Engineering, but now they are naturally just watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously.

These people are very unhappy even if their monthly salary reaches the same amount.

Because of the low salary, they disliked the fact that they taught craftsmen and businessmen.

Their seniors, who had higher salaries than them, were even more disgusted with their self-destruction.

They are trying to please both ends. They receive high wages, but they are not happy at all.

Now they are eager to see the School of Engineering become obsolete so that they can return to the Hanlin Academy.

Another Hanlin Academy attendant said: "Master Chen, let me tell you, we might as well get off the donkey. Since no one is coming, why don't you save some trouble? Then you can concentrate on your business department, which will have a better future." .”

Neither Chen Han nor Xia Yuanji took these Hanlin's cynicism seriously.

Zhu Yunwen walked up to several Hanlin officials and said in a pretentious manner: "Hey, what are you talking about? Mr. Chen is a man with great ambitions and is determined to change the Ming Dynasty. What do you know!"

Hahaha……

They all laughed together.

However, just when Zhu Yunwen and the others were watching the excitement.

Suddenly, a group of people walked out from the street.

The leader was Song Zhichang, followed by a large group of businessmen wearing silk gowns.

They all came with their children.

Behind them were craftsmen from Lishui County and its surrounding counties, followed by hundreds of people.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Yunxi shouted after seeing the crowd: "Coming! Coming!"

"They're all here!! Haha..."

Ling Han and Zhu Youwei also breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that he and others were not disappointed.

Good causes were planted in the past, and good results finally came.

Xia Yuanji and Chen Han couldn't help but get excited after seeing it.

"coming!"

"It's really coming!"

"My dear brother, this is all because of your work-for-relief work!" Xia Yuanji was very excited.

Chen Han also breathed a sigh of relief: "No! This is all due to your scheduling. Without your scheduling, it will be useless even if I have the best strategy."

After Zhu Yunwen and several Hanlin saw the crowd, they curled their lips and looked unhappy.

Zhu Yunwen even said directly: "I have never seen such a self-destructive person!"

And just when Zhu Yunwen curled his lips, a Hanlin scholar was even more surprised: "Why are there still scholars?"

Zhu Yunwen looked over, and sure enough, there were more than 20 scholars wearing scholar's gowns among the crowd, carrying bags on their backs.

"These people? These people are simply despicable!" Zhu Yunwen cursed.

When he arrived at the gate of the Engineering College, Song Zhichang said loudly, "Master Xia, Master Chen, are we late here?"

After Xia Yuanji and Chen Han saw them, they immediately stepped forward.

"No! No, you came in time." Xia Yuanji and Chen Han were both moved to tears.

I really didn't expect that they could do this at such a time.

I know that many officials are targeting me now.

Even though he knew that one of the officials following him was dead, he still wanted to believe in himself.

Chen Han was very moved.

Then Chen Han looked at the more than 20 scholars. He was actually a little surprised. He didn't expect that they were willing to study with him.

"What scholars are you here?" Chen Han was a little surprised.

Even Xia Yuanji was surprised: "You actually..."

He wanted to say, you are actually willing to mingle with craftsmen and businessmen?
Several scholars came forward and bowed their hands: "Master Xia, Master Chen, your names are well known to us.

You two must think that all scholars are pedantic and do not want to contact people with other knowledge. "Chen Han really has this stereotype.

Just like the few people he summoned by force.

But the leading scholar smiled and said: "We are not here for the so-called future, but because we are in Lishui County, we can better understand the changes brought to our hometown by the government's work-for-relief program.

The people benefited from it, and the court benefited from it.

I also felt that these two people dared to stroke the beard on the tiger's head, and tried their best to promote the sharing of land between farmers and the government and the gentry as errands. We admired them so much that we came to learn from them.

Are you two adults welcome? "

Haha ...

Chen Han and Xia Yuanji were overjoyed.

They now need scholars with such far-sightedness to join them.

Zhu Yunwen became even more angry when he saw this.

Chen Han waved his hand and asked the student staff to re-register these students.

For the students here, Chen Han has made up his mind to spend a hundred times more effort to teach them.

Let them all learn and succeed.

Everyone was happy about this, but one person was very unhappy when he saw this situation, and even made sarcastic remarks.

"Hey! I don't know if there's something wrong with these people's brains. Now that they can't protect themselves, you still believe in them. It's really ridiculous."

The person who said this was none other than Zhu Yunwen.

Song Zhichang didn't know Zhu Yunwen's identity, so he immediately retorted when he heard what he said.

"Young man, you are also studying among Mr. Chen's students. How come you don't know Mr. Chen's situation better than we do?"

Zhu Yunwen was told something and was about to refute when he heard Song Zhichang continue:
"There was a snowstorm in Lishui County before. Who rescued all the victims? Was it the imperial court?"

Zhu Yunwen was unconvinced: "Isn't it true? If it weren't for the construction project sponsored by the imperial court, the victims would still have food to eat?"

Song Zhichang said: "Then you should know that all the things that the imperial court came to build were all because Mr. Chen and Mr. Xia organized a work-for-relief program and raised 27 yuan through businessmen, so that they could be built. Those things.

Although the imperial court provided these conditions, if there were no Mr. Chen and Mr. Xia, could the imperial court afford these conditions? "

The craftsmen also said: "If it weren't for Master Xia and Master Shen, we people would have starved to death long ago.

Now is the time for us to repay our kindness. Young people, if you don’t understand, don’t talk here. "

Zhu Yunwen was speechless and could only grunt and leave in despair.

……

A certain teahouse.

"Hmph! How could bastard Chen Han have such good luck?"

"Why didn't that madman just stab that bastard to death?"

"Who says it's not the case, but stabbing that Shen Liqian to death is also a good thing. Now no one will dare to follow them in making any reforms."

"But who is that Song Zhichang who dares to support that bastard at this time?"

Another person replied: "He's just a buffoon. He was the first person to donate money during Xia Yuanji's work-for-relief program. He's just an ordinary businessman, nothing worth mentioning."

The frail old man snorted: "A stinky businessman dares to get involved in such a thing. He is simply looking for death."

Someone snorted: "Kill him! Let's see who else dares to get involved!"

"No, now Shen Liqian's murder has made Chen Han jump up and down like a crazy spiked ball. This guy is not a person who is willing to give up.

If we kill Song Zhichang again, the court will definitely hold on to him, and we will be even more in danger by then.

Let’s wait until the weather calms down. "

snort!
These people all snorted coldly.

"We will hide for a while now. Although we are not the ones sent to kill people, if they can't resist and get caught, we will also be affected."

Everyone could only hold back after hearing this.

But it's not because of Chen Han, but because they are afraid of being caught by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. This is their biggest worry now.

……

Morning the next day.

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted loudly.

Basically, all the officials in the capital have reached this level regardless of their rank.

The entire large square at the entrance of Fengtian Hall was filled with civil and military officials, and they all probably knew what kind of things would be discussed this time.

Because Shen Liqian, a reforming official, was killed, public opinion in the entire court was fierce.

Everyone is now full of pessimism about reform.

The civil servants were even whispering among themselves.

“I have long said that reform is a dangerous thing, but now it’s okay, it has offended so many people and caused such a big thing.

As you can see, you should be careful in the future and don’t get involved in everything, or you might die. "

"That's right. Look at the good magistrate of Songjiang Prefecture. He has achieved a good position at that level, but he was transferred to the capital cabinet and participated in the reform. Unexpectedly, something like this happened."

Then everyone looked at the members of the cabinet. According to their thinking, those guys now knew that they might die if they participated in the reform, so they might as well get out quickly.

However, what disappoints them is that these cabinet members themselves were not promoted through connections.

Originally, he was someone who was not allowed to be reused in remote places, but was capable.

Therefore, they were never frightened by this incident, but instead became more determined.

It is estimated that during the more than half a year of working together in the cabinet, there has been a tacit understanding between them.

Now that they heard that Shen Liqian was assassinated and died in this way, they shared the same hatred and were determined to continue the reform cause.

"His Majesty is here!!"

The eunuch shouted.

All the civil and military officials bowed and saluted: "Welcome Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang came to Fengtian Hall, but he did not sit on the dragon chair, but walked back and forth.

The air pressure suddenly dropped a lot.

No one dared to look up, and everyone was trembling.

Chen Han saw Zhu Yuanzhang's cold murderous intent for the first time in the imperial meeting.

He is indeed an emperor who can intimidate everyone.

Every move he makes and every look he makes gives people a huge sense of oppression.

The ministers below did not dare to speak at all, it could be said that they did not dare to express their anger.

This shows how strong Zhu Yuanzhang's aura is.

After Zhu Yuanzhang walked around for half a stick of incense, he finally spoke.

"I guess you all are aware of this major event that happened in the capital recently.

I don’t want to talk too much with you now. I only have one sentence: Those who know the clues will be rewarded for providing them, and those who know the clues but do not provide them will be killed.

Whoever did this will stand up and kill one of you, find out and destroy your entire clan! ! "
