Chapter 116 Yinzi Money

March 22.

A new day has begun.

Yang Reform sat in the warm cabinet, concentrating on calculating how much property he still had.

The money for the Wei case finally began to be moved into the inner treasury.There are already almost 400 million taels in the warehouse, and it is estimated that some can be squeezed out. Anyway, there are still 600 million taels.

Now, Yang Reform is counting his pockets.The originally small amount of internal money has been enriched again, and with the original remaining, the total is close to 600 million taels.The pocket is bulging.

It's easy to do things when you have money!Otherwise, even the emperor, no one else would care about you, just like Chongzhen in history, begging ministers for some money with a low face, but they didn't get much.This emperor is really a crime.

Yang Reform is frankly picking at his pocket.There was a commotion outside.Yang Reform felt strange. In this palace, there are still people who dare to disturb the people?Tired of living?
"Big buddy, big buddy? What's wrong?"

Wang Chengen ran in from the outside and said, "Your Majesty, that Western missionary named Tang Ruowang has arrived."

Has Tang Ruowang arrived?Yang Reform reckoned that he had summoned him to Beijing for about a month. He didn't know where he was, but he just arrived now.

"Well, let's call him for an audience. By the way, I asked why it was so noisy outside just now?" The palace where Yang Reform lived was always quiet, but suddenly there was a slight noise, which made him feel very noisy. At the time of the 21st century, even construction trucks were running outside the door every day, and they could still fall asleep. The environment has changed, and people's feelings have also changed, which is completely different.

Wang Chengen was a little bit embarrassed, and said: "Your Majesty, it's a small matter. Small matter..."

Seeing Wang Chengen's hesitation, Yang Reform knew that there was something wrong: "Tell me, big partner, what's the matter."

"Your Majesty, it's the eunuch of the key vault..." Wang Chengen hesitated to say.

"Speak, companion, I don't blame you for anything."

"Report to Your Majesty, the eunuch who is in charge of the key bank, after investigation by the ministers, stole money from the palace and went out to release usury, the servant brought the murderer here, please Your Majesty."

Keystore?What kind of organization is that?Manage keys?Not impressed at all.Put usury?This Yang Reform understands. In the 21st century, it is not uncommon for Yang Reform to lend usury in pawnshops.Of course, this interest has a high and a low.

"Steal money from the palace?" Yang Reform's face darkened in an instant. Stealing money from the palace is stealing his own money. This palace is his home.Is it easy to get some money by yourself? Just like this, I was rattled, and my heart was furious. Is the money in this palace so easy to steal?Then he asked, "Really?"

When Wang Chengen encountered this incident, he also had a headache. Originally, a large amount of silver had been put into the warehouse recently, and the emperor was worried. He asked him to check the accounts and double the emperor's family fortune. As a result, it was soon found out that the eunuch in the keystore actually took out the money in the palace to put usury.This matter is very important, and he can't be the master, so he has to report to the emperor. For such a big incident, he, the "big internal manager", is also responsible.

"Your Majesty, that's true. That daring murderer dared to secretly take the money from the palace and put loan sharks outside. It's really hateful." Wang Chengen gritted his teeth and hated it.

Yang Reform's face was livid, his teeth itching with hatred, he only thought about killing people and skinning them to relieve his hatred, and said quietly: "Bring that guy in for me, I want to see who dares to be so big courage."

……

"Kneel down!" Two Jinyi guards tied up an eunuch, escorted him to the warm pavilion, and escorted him to kneel.What I think is that this person really does not know how to live or die, stealing the emperor's money, and he is really impatient to live.

The eunuch who was supposed to be wearing a big red robe was ashen-faced, only the white underwear inside was left on his body, his face seemed to have been whipped and kicked a few times, and he was in a state of embarrassment.

As soon as the man knelt down, he wailed and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me, I will never dare again, I will never do it again..."

Looking at this person who stole his own money, Yang Reform felt the anger in his heart, that hatred!If you have a B51, it is better to give this person a "chug".

"Hehehe, hahaha... You are the one who stole things from the palace? Heh heh heh, you are so courageous, you are such a dog..." The more Yang Reform thought about it, the more he felt furious. Was it easy for him to work so hard to get some money? ?Just like that, he was stolen by this mouse. Thinking about it, it was the first time that Yang Reform's desire to kill was so strong.

"Come here! Pull it out and chop it up..." Yang Reform shouted, exercising the emperor's right to kill for the first time.Anger filled his chest and abdomen.Want to kill people to vent their anger.Why did I work so hard to get money?Is it really for your own life?If that's the case, it's a big deal for me to go to Nanjing and live a good life, so why stay in Beijing, a place of right and wrong?The distress and annoyance in his heart gushed out all over his head, and he only wanted to kill this person to vent the resentment in his heart.

The two brocade guards dragged the crying man out of the Nuan Pavilion without stopping.They have also seen the emperor's anger, but they don't want to be implicated because of the slightest hesitation.

The person was dragged out, and the voice gradually faded away.Yang Reform was restless, what was he doing for?for myself?Or what for the country?For the people?Or to put it more noblely, for the sake of the nation?In order not to lag behind others and be bullied by others in future generations?

Seeing that the emperor's expression became a little more peaceful, Wang Cheng'en said: "Your Majesty, there is still some silver that this person obtained from usury, about 8 to [-] taels, is it also in the internal treasury?"

Ok?What?This guy also got 8 taels of silver?I didn't realize that it was a talent, and Yang Reform, who was depressed, came back to his senses when he heard Yin Zi's call.Asked: "How long have you put usury?"

"Report to Your Majesty, this person has been the eunuch of the key store for about three or four years, and the time for loan sharks is no more than four years." Wang Chengen only knew the details of the eunuch of the key store after receiving reports from others, otherwise , How could it be possible to know such details.

Yang Reform felt that he had obtained 8 to [-] taels of silver in a few years, and he secretly used the public money to obtain such a large amount of money during off-duty time. He is quite a brainy and courageous person!I didn't realize that there were still such "talents" under my command.

When it comes to killing people, Yang Reform doesn't have much hobbies or interests. Killing people is purely to vent anger. If you want to talk about what you love most, it's money. In Yang Reform's view, money is the most important thing. Without money, you are nothing. Without money , the ministers will not be a bird of the emperor himself.No money, history, let yourself hang yourself with a rope on the coal mountain, this is the end of no money, people who can get money are "good people", although this person is hateful and can be killed, but he can get money, he is a "Talent", then, should not kill him.Who called him a "good guy"?

The Ming Dynasty deserves to be damned, he is not the only one who deserves to be killed, if he is missing, if there is one more, the world will not be clean, nor will it be dirty.

"Wait, big companion, go and suspend the sentence immediately, keep the person under the sword, don't kill that person just now, I still have something to ask." Yang Reform was in a hurry, and the Jinyi guards stretched out their hands just now, but quite Swift, wouldn't have chopped off his head.Immediately asked Wang Chengen to shout "keep people under the sword".

Wang Chengen's face was inexplicable, and he didn't understand why the emperor who was angry just now and wanted to kill him didn't want to kill him now, but the emperor urged him very urgently and ignored so much, he quickly jumped out of the warm pavilion, ran all the way, shouting "" Keep people under the sword."The entire Palace Museum is full of Wang Chengen's cry: "Keep people under the knife", which is magnificent and has been passed down as a great anecdote.

It is said that Li Weiren's neck was already stretched above the guillotine, waiting for the knives to be stabbed.Thinking that he was doomed, he looked at the sky with nostalgia for the last time, and prepared to be a good person in the next life.

The distant words "Keep people under the sword" came from a distance, and the accent was very familiar, as if it was from Mr. Wang, but it didn't look like it, it was a little hoarse.Li Weiren, who was waiting to die with his head on the guillotine, thought in his heart, could it be that his death is an illusion?But the voice is getting closer and clearer, it is indeed the voice of Director Wang, there is no mistake.In the palace of Hades?Or is it the coming of the Buddha Kingdom?Li Weiren thought he was dead.

"Xuan...Xuan, His Majesty ordered... to keep people under the sword, take...take Li Weiren...back, go back and ask questions..." Wang Chengen ran from the Qianqing Palace to the Meridian Gate in one breath. Wang Chengen's old life.Talking is like pulling a bellows.Clothes are soaked.

The executioner and the Jin Yiwei watched this dramatic scene dumbfounded.Now that the emperor has sent his confidant eunuch to pass the word of mouth, let him go.So, first he knelt on the ground to accept the order, then pulled Li Weiren up, tidied up, and handed it to Wang Chengen.

Seeing that he managed to catch up, Wang Chengen felt that he hadn't made this trip in vain. Although he was exhausted and his eyes were black from running, it was worth it.

"Li Weiren, you shouldn't die. His Majesty has something to ask you again, so you can do it yourself. Don't make the emperor unhappy anymore." Wang Chenen Chunchun taught.

Li Weiren was crying and laughing, sobbing with snot and tears, and kowtowed to Wang Chengen: "Thank you, Mr. Wang, and thank you, Mr. Wang, for saving your life. The little one is a bull and a horse, and I will not forget the great kindness of Mr. Wang... "Li Weiren saw the situation clearly, and rolled from the palace of Hades. He was afraid and happy, surprised and frightened, crying and laughing, and kowtowed to Wang Chengen. If Wang Chengen hadn't come in time, he would really have confessed. Here I am, watching Wang Chengen panting like a bellows, I am very grateful.

"You don't have to thank our family. Answer His Majesty's words well. Repaying Your Majesty is the right thing to do. Go..., come with our family. Your Majesty is still waiting for you." Wang Chengen took Li Weiren to go again after he had enough breath See Your Majesty.The clothes on this body were all soaked from running. Today, it really took a long time to play, and it almost killed me.

……

"Report to Your Majesty, Li Weiren brought it here." Wang Chengen's legs are still weak.

Yang Reform looked curiously, why did Wang Chengen's legs tremble after he went out?How did he know that others were running out of breath in order to pass on the imperial decree to him.

As soon as Li Weiren came in, he kowtowed and buried his head on the ground, unable to get up.

"You are Li Weiren?" Yang Reform looked at the guy kneeling on the ground.

"Report to Your Majesty, the culprit is Li Weiren." Li Weiren walked around the palace of the King of Hell and saw some things, but he became more stable, and his speech was more stable, not like a corrupt and dereliction of duty person.

"I heard that you are very good at lending loan sharks?" Yang Reform asked the core of the question directly, but he was not in the mood to chat with him.This silver is the most critical and should be taken seriously.

"Report to Your Majesty, sinners should not steal money from the palace and put usury outside, slaves are guilty."

"I'm not going to punish you, I'm just asking you about loan sharks." Yang Reform didn't want to be a judge for a while, and he wanted to go through a case-handling procedure. It's not justified for an emperor to kill a person. It just doesn't make any sense, if you kill it, you kill it, it's okay.

[The explanation says that loan sharks became popular in the early Qing Dynasty, so it is not an exaggeration to say that there were loan sharks in the late Ming Dynasty. 】
