Cen Jing really couldn't even get past Malacca, so he was captured by Mei Yin.

Zheng He needed to go to Great Britain again to clean up the Cen family, while Mei Yin took Cen Jing back to Panyu and soon returned to Panyu.

After getting off the boat, he saw the prosperous trade area. Even if Wu Yongfeng and the others were gone, it would not be so messy. Mei Yin sighed: "The trade area belongs to His Highness, it belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and it benefits the people of the entire Ming Dynasty, and you But in my heart, I want to take the trade zone as my own, ha..."

Cen Jing, who was being escorted by soldiers on the side, lowered his head. They really wanted to take the trading area as their own and turn it into a tool for making money. Even if the emperor changed, the owner of Panyu Trading Area would not change.

Over the years, Cen Jing and Wu Yongfeng have known better than anyone how big the overseas trade market is and how high the daily profits are.

As long as you take it as your own, you will have inexhaustible wealth. No matter how much you do, your family's money will never be used up.

Although, given the current situation of the Cen family and the Wu family, as long as there are no dandy children in the family, or there are no bad habits, the money earned will not be used up, but the greed of human nature is endless.

There is plenty now, but they want more.

The best thing is to take the trade area into your pocket.

Mei Yin said again: "You are making His Highness feel chilled by this!"

"I'm sorry, Your Highness!"

Cen Jing shook his head.

"Go back and tell His Highness these words!"

Mei Yin didn't care what happened to the guy, so he lifted the person up and got off the boat.

It happened suddenly and in a short time. The trade area was very stable and there were no other problems.

If time passes, it won't necessarily happen.

Therefore, after catching someone, it is necessary to take over the core inside as soon as possible.

Mei Yin went directly to the government office to meet Yu Xin and the others.

"Plum Prince Consort!"

Yu Xin and the others said in unison.

"You're welcome!"

Mei Yin bowed his hand, and then asked someone to bring Cen Jing up, saying: "We have captured it. What to do next is up to you. I have to take over the trade area. There can be no chaos here."

This is one of the most important sources of Ming Dynasty's finance.

If there is chaos, Ming Dynasty's finances may not be able to keep up.

It will cause a lot of trouble, and there will be no way to build infrastructure.

"Just hand them over to us. I will interrogate them here and take them back to Beijing in two days."

Yu Xin nodded and said: "I believe Your Highness, I also want to see them."

When they heard that His Highness wanted to see him, they sighed helplessly.

Of course some people are afraid!

It is not difficult for them to imagine what outcome awaits them next.

"it is good!"

Mei Yin nodded, left the government office, and headed to the office building in the trade zone.

Liu Sheng and others trained by Ji Wenjing have been reactivated by Yu Xin and placed in the office building.

These people are very familiar with everything in the trade zone, and they know a lot. Now there is no obstruction from Cen Jing, and they can quickly get into work. This is one of the reasons why the trade zone has not been in chaos so far.

Time, another two days passed.

Yu Xin and Ji Gang finished handling all the matters here, took the captured people, and returned to Beijing together, but left Cen Jing behind. After all, there were still some core members of the Cen family who had not been captured.

At the same time, they also disclosed the specific situation of the Panyu Trade Zone.

This is also Zhu Xuan's order. They are not afraid of alerting the snake. The snake will only move if it is startled. If the snake remains motionless, sometimes it is difficult to do anything. After all, there are many trade areas in Ming Dynasty.

I heard that the Panyu Trade Zone was thoroughly investigated and that Cen Jing, Wu Yongfeng and others were all arrested. People in other trading areas were all shocked.

They still knew that Cen Jing was a relative of the emperor, and now even the emperor's relatives were not spared. The heads of other trade zones were panicking. Panyu's had already been investigated, and it was very likely that it would be their turn next.

If they really want to investigate, what will they do?
You know, not many people sitting in this position are clean.

The snake is frightened by striking the grass, and only the person who strikes the grass can judge the movement of the snake.

-

Yu Xin is not sure how other trade zones will react.

He had already taken everyone back to Beijing by boat, but when he returned to Beijing, Cen Rui had already arrived in the capital. As soon as he arrived, he was controlled by Jin Yiwei, and was finally brought to Zhu Xuan.

"Greetings to Your Highness, Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Old!"

Cen Rui kowtowed vigorously in front of Zhu Xuan.

He knew better than anyone what the reason for going to Beijing this time was.

"Get up!"

Zhu Xuan put down the memorial in his hand, then raised his head and glanced at Cen Rui.

Cen Rui said loudly: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

He stood up, but he still stood very reserved and cautious. He had met Zhu Xuan so many times before, but this was the first time he was so reserved.

"I just got the telegram that Cen Jing was arrested."

Zhu Xuan said.

"He deserves to die!"

Cen Rui didn't even think about it and said directly: "Since the first time he acted recklessly, I knew that sooner or later he would be like this."

Zhu Xuan looked at him curiously and asked, "Since you know, why do you turn a blind eye?"

When Cen Rui heard this, he knelt down and kowtowed again, and said in a trembling voice: "Because I have selfish motives, all of my children were brought to Great Britain by Cen Jing. I don't want anything to happen to them. Cen Jing is getting more and more excessive now, and it is no longer under my control." ”

It's really too much.

You must know that Cen Rui's children are all Cen Jing's cousins.

For her own benefit, Cen Jing could be so cruel that she could even frame her uncle and brother.

Zhu Xuan sighed: "When interests reach a certain level, people can do anything and do anything."

The benefits brought to them by the trade zone are extremely high. They can all see that Cen Jing and the others choose to do whatever it takes and dare to do anything. This is capital, but they cannot be used without it.

This is a double-edged sword, it depends on how you use it.

Zhu Xuan will not ban the trade zone because of this, otherwise there may be more people who take risks for the sake of profit, such as the initial smuggling behavior, and the trade zone is indeed an important source of Ming Dynasty's finance.

Even if Cen Jing and the others are so greedy, the taxes collected in the Panyu Trade Zone every year are still extremely high.

After hearing Zhu Xuan's words, Cen Rui continued to kneel and did not dare to respond.

Zhu Xuan did not let him get up, and said again: "Do you know why I arrested everyone in the Cen family, but left only those of your lineage untouched?"

Cen Rui said: "Your Highness, please give me some advice!"

"Because, I believe you."

Zhu Xuan said: "When Hua'er got married, you were responsible for going to Beijing and having a conversation with Grandpa Huang. I know what you said. It was that conversation that made me trust you."

Hearing this, Cen Rui recalled it.

Of course he still remembered the content of the conversation. It was probably that Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to deal with the chieftains in Guangxi, but he refused. The reason he gave was very simple and direct. He said that he was afraid that if he dealt with all the other chieftains, the Cen family might change. Become the biggest toast!

Cen Rui didn't dare to do that, and he was not confident in his family.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Cen Rui was a capable person. (End of chapter)
