I am the carpenter king

After hearing Chen Fangfang's words, Emperor Tianqi was slightly taken aback. He didn't expect to be related to the salt merchant.It seems that there are some unknown things here!Nodding his head slowly, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice, "Speak slowly, and tell me everything!"

"Yes, son!" Chen Fangfang gently supported her, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said softly: "My father, Ren Bonian, is a well-known good man in Yangzhou City. My sister and I were adopted by my father. That year I was just eight years old, my sister was only three years old, and there was a flood in my hometown. Both my parents died at that time, and my father adopted us later."

Emperor Tianqi was slightly taken aback. He thought he was the biological father of the two sisters, but he was adopted.People who can adopt orphans, Emperor Tianqi is willing to believe that he is a good person in his heart.However, there are always exceptions. There are not many good businessmen in this era.

Slowly nodding his head, Emperor Tianqi said softly, "Go ahead!"

"Yes, son! Chen Fangfang nodded slowly, trying not to tremble in her voice, and said: "My father was a salt merchant in Yangzhou from his ancestors, and the family has [-] salt from his ancestors, which is the root of my father's departure from home.Although this city of Yangzhou is not considered rich, it is also a worry about food and clothing.Three months ago, I took my younger sister to the temple fair. If we hadn't gone to my father, maybe this accident would not have happened. "Speaking of this, Chen Fangfang showed deep resentment on his face, and there was anger in his eyes. [

Yuan Keli on the side sighed softly, a beauty is a disaster, it has been like this since ancient times!It's not a good thing for a girl to be too pretty.

"That day we met the son of Li Chang's family, a great salt merchant in this city. He is a gang merchant, and the Li family is in charge of my father's Yanyin. Blocked the drive. Three days later, the Li family sent someone to come to propose marriage, but to be the fifth concubine for the eldest son of the Li family." Chen Fangfang lowered her head.Eye circles are red.

Sighed in his heart, Emperor Tianqi felt that the plot was a bit clichéd, but such things are too common in this era.However, it was originally thought that the bully should be an official family, but now it is actually a salt merchant, which is really unexpected.

"Shame on you! A mere family of merchants actually acted like this. Everyone should be punished!" Emperor Tianqi didn't say anything, but Yuan Keli on the side jumped up and shouted loudly.Perhaps because he was too excited, his beard was pouted.

Glancing at Yuan Keli, Chen Fangfang's face was full of astonishment, and he wouldn't be surprised if it was Emperor Tianqi who lost his temper.After all, Emperor Tianqi looked like a rich man who had never experienced anything in the world, so it was nothing to say these words.Yuan Keli looked like an old man who had experienced many vicissitudes of life, how could he make such a fuss!

Smiling awkwardly, Emperor Tianqi ignored Yuan Keli.To Chen Fangfang who was on the side, said: "Go ahead!"

"Yes, son!" Nodding slightly, Chen Fangfang continued: "Of course my father would not agree to such a marriage, so he refused it as a matter of course. Although I was a little worried, nothing happened, so my father was relieved. A month later, a good friend of my father came up and made an appointment to go to Guiyan with my father. The family’s [-] yuan was still [-] yuan short this year. My father didn’t think there was anything wrong, so we went together. It took only half a month After that, my father was found out for smuggling salt and was arrested and put in prison."

Emperor Tianqi glanced at Yuan Keli, his face was solemn, and the matter was already clear.The crime of smuggling salt is not small, and it may be difficult for Ren Bonian to get out like this.

"Later the house was ransacked, and my father, mother and elder brother were all imprisoned. The government said that we were not from the Ren family. So we escaped. My sister and I were going to Nanjing to sue, even if it was to knock Deng Wengu also wanted to defend his father. But we were caught before we were done, and I was sold to a brothel." Chen Fangfang couldn't continue at this point.He lowered his head and kept wiping the tears from his face.

Looking back at the twin sisters behind him, Emperor Tianqi waved to them and said, "Send Miss Chen to rest!" Then he turned to Chen Fangfang and said, "You go to rest first! Since we have encountered this matter , then I will definitely take care of it!"

Hearing what Emperor Tianqi said, Chen Fangfang wanted to kneel down to Emperor Tianqi, and Lihua said with rain: "If I can save my father, the little girl is willing to work for the son, to repay the son's great kindness!"

"Okay, let's go to rest first! Let's discuss what to do!" Wen Yan comforted Chen Fangfang a few words, and Emperor Tianqi asked Chen Fangfang to go upstairs.

There were only three Emperor Tianqi left in the hall, and the expressions on the faces of the three were very serious, and the eyes of Emperor Tianqi were even more serious.

"These salt merchants are really lawless. They manipulated the salt tax and colluded with local officials to make the south of the Yangtze River a mess. Selling salt and digging mines, there is no such person who dare not do it! They have now become the king of the country. Moth, it’s getting to the point where I have to be political!” Emperor Tianqi slowly sat down on the chair with a persuasive gleam in his eyes.

Dang Han sat quietly on the side. Jin Yiwei knew something about the salt merchants, but they could only pretend not to know.Behind the salt merchants is the officialdom in the entire south of the Yangtze River, and even the dignitaries in Nanjing are involved. I am afraid that the palace of the king and the mansion of the state are involved.Unless Emperor Tianqi made up his mind, it would be very difficult to do anything to them!

"Your majesty, the salt merchants have indeed reached the point where they have to move, but we are in microservices, and it will be very troublesome to do things. We need a legitimate identity, and the emperor can't reveal the identity. I'm afraid things will be a little difficult. Ah!" Yuan Keli looked at Emperor Tianqi with an unusually dignified expression, he didn't have a good impression of the salt merchants, but it might not be so easy to really move.

With a meaningful smile, Emperor Tianqi said playfully: "There is nothing impossible, as long as you really want to do it!"

Glancing at Dang Han on one side, Yuan Keli was a little confused, but Emperor Tianqi didn't mean anything, so Yuan Keli was naturally embarrassed to ask.

"Okay, let's all go to rest! Let's go to the prison to see Ren Bonian tomorrow morning. I am somewhat interested in this man." [

Emperor Tianqi and others went to rest, but in a manor outside the city of Yangzhou, the eldest son of the Li family was furious.Mr. Li is called Li Bo, and he was a candidate in Yangzhou last year, but he failed in the Jinshi examination.Anyone who understands knows that this Juren may not be very honorable when he comes.

Mr. Li, who was usually gentle and refined, now had a ferocious expression on his face. He kicked the middle-aged man to the side and said loudly, "What are you eating? They're all rice buckets!"

"My lord, the old bustard of Lichun Courtyard has already said that she bought the woman with money. This redemption is also your wish. Since you want to, you can pay first. It's too late to say this now!" The young man stood up slowly with a bit of fear on his face, and looked at Li Bo vigilantly, for fear that he would kick him down.

Picking up the tea bowl on the table and throwing it on the ground, Li Bo gasped with anger in his eyes, "Okay! An old bustard dares to bully me, and I really think of myself as someone else." .In this city of Yangzhou, anyone who offends me, Li Bo, will end badly!"

Standing timidly at the side, the middle-aged man said with trembling voice: "Young master, an old bustard naturally dare not offend you, but the people behind the Lichun Courtyard are different."

"What's the difference? When I sold that little beauty, my son told me to let her tell me after the training, I spent money to buy it! I promised well at the beginning, but now I actually do such a thing. It's because I didn't take this young master seriously, I can't swallow it!" Li Bo gave the middle-aged man a hard look, but his tone became much softer, and he also knew that what the middle-aged man said was true .

Li Bo knew very well that although his family had plenty of money, their status was always inferior.If it wasn't for the money given by the father, I am afraid that my family would have been swallowed up by others.However, Li Bo did not underestimate himself, he was also very clear about the strength of his own family, as the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy is invincible in a hundred battles.

It might not be so easy for Li Chunyuan to be subdued, there is a face issue involved here, if he is soft on himself, then the person behind Li Chunyuan will not have to hang out in Yangzhou City!

Slowly sat down on the chair, Li Bo frowned and kept thinking, it was useless to say anything from Li Chunyuan, the most important thing now is who snatched that little beauty.Glancing at the middle-aged man, Li Bo said in a deep voice, "Go get someone to find out who those people are, you must find out!"

"My lord, what are you doing with those people?" The middle-aged man asked eagerly. In his opinion, the woman was already under the control of others, and it might not be so easy to snatch her back.

"You know what a fart! I don't understand Ren Bonian's affairs now. If something goes wrong at this time, things will be troublesome! Hurry up!" Glaring at the middle-aged man fiercely, Li Bo scolded loudly road.

Frowning and meditating, Li Bo kept thinking, and suddenly a voice came from outside, saying: "Not bad! If you just look in front of you, you can just eat and die!"

Standing up abruptly, standing aside respectfully, Li Bo said in a deep voice, "Father!"

Gently opened the door, a man in his fifties walked in, wearing a long silk gown, with his hands behind his back, looking at Li Bo with a smile.Walking to the main seat and sitting down, he said to Li Bo on the side: "Sit! How many times have I told you that you should be prudent when things happen, and we will see how you look!"

"The child has lost his temper, please punish him!" Li Bo had lost his irritability just now, and stood aside respectfully with a peaceful and quiet face. (To be continued..)
