my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 364 Uncover the Mystery

Chapter 364 Uncover the Mystery

Zhu Di walked out of the dormitory quickly, and said in a low voice, "Come out and say it."

His voice was no longer hoarse and tired.

Yi Shiha hurriedly followed out of the hall.

Zhu Di covered his face and said, "You start from the beginning."

Yi Shiha didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly told the whole story of what he could find out.

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes slightly, and he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. After a long time, Zhu Di said, "So... so... How did the land price increase?"

Yi Shiha said: "I also checked the Dongchang side, and the station... is blessed with a unique advantage, and it will be a bustling place for business in the future..."

Zhu Di suddenly came to his senses: "Hey...why didn't I think of it, yes, I remembered it, Zhang Qing... Zhang Qing once said that he has accumulated a lot of land at various stations, right?"

Yi Shiha said: "Your servant also remembers that there are tens of thousands of mu."

Zhu Di gasped: "Really?"

Zhu Di kept pacing with his hands behind his back. He sometimes murmured, sometimes raised his head, and said, "So... Xia Yuanji and other conscience-stricken guys insist on making trouble? Well, it's really shameless to refuse to accept even after signing the contract. especially."

Yi Shiha had a bitter face, and wanted to agree, but after all, he still had some bottom line, so he didn't say anything.

You can't say that. At the beginning, you were forced to buy land at a high price. Now that the land price has risen, you signed the contract before you could react, but you wanted to kick them out.

Doesn't this mean that people's gold and silver are used for nothing to build a railway for you?

Zhu Di immediately said: "In this way...in this way...let me think about it, let me think about it...for the time being, don't say anything about this matter, just pretend that I don't know about it, do you understand? I feel a little unwell, I need to stay in the big house for a few days, and isolate me from the inside and outside."

"Ah...Your Majesty, don't worry about the outside affairs." Yi Shiha said.

Zhu Di said: "Let them solve these things by themselves, Zhang Anshi hid in the model camp?"

"Yes."

"It seems that he has been prepared for a long time, and he must have his way, so I will just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." Zhu Di said: "If I get involved, do I still want to lose face?"

Yi Shiha said, "Your Majesty is wise."

The next day, the news spread and the world shook.

This matter was originally Zhang Anshi's fault, and two more ministers were involved, as well as many important officials of the court. The Minister of Punishment, Jin Chun, directly complained about his illness, which naturally aroused criticism from countless people.

In the streets and alleys, there are crazy discussions now.

Originally, many people were extremely dissatisfied with Zhang Anshi, wishing to yell and kill Zhang Anshi, but now that they picked a wrong place, they naturally added fuel and vinegar, and lashed out.

Zhang Anshi hid in the camp, eating and sleeping with the three Zhu Yong brothers.

These days, Zhang Anshi is busy, and we don't meet much on weekdays. Now that we reunite after a long time, we can't help being a little more intimate.

"Brother... stay in the camp all day, sister-in-law won't be angry." Zhang Fu was more careful, seeing Zhang Anshi's idle appearance, he couldn't help saying.

Zhang Anshi said: "She has gone back to her mother's house, I need to stay for another ten days and a half months."

"Brother, I heard that many people outside are looking for you."

"Let them find it. It's okay. This model camp is safer than the Forbidden City."

"But it's not a problem to hide all the time."

"Don't worry, the matter will be resolved soon." Zhang Anshi smiled.

At this moment, a man who looked like a Jin Yiwei came to see him.

Zhang Anshi cheered up, and then said: "Call him."

Immediately, a man in a fish suit hurried in, but it was Chen Daowen. Chen Daowen was still in charge of a thousand households. He saluted Zhang Anshi and said, "I have seen the governor."

Zhang Anshi took his seat, and said with a pleasant face, "How is it? How's the situation outside?"

"The chickens are flying and the dogs are jumping, everywhere..."

Zhang Anshi said: "It's okay, just say what you want."

Chen Daowen said: "The governor... everyone is scolding the governor everywhere."

Zhang Anshi said: "How did they scold you?"

"I dare not say it because of my humbleness." Chen Daowen said timidly.

Zhang Anshi couldn't help saying: "Forget it, then I won't listen, what else is going on?"

"The other thing is..." Chen Daowen said: "Gong Xia and the others, now that they have signed off, they will go to Zhang's house in the inner city..."

Zhang Anshi said: "It's really stingy..."

"Many people followed to join in the fun and stopped outside Zhang's house to watch."

"Got it, got it." Zhang Anshi said: "Just continue to inquire, and also, you must remember not to randomly take people."

Chen Daowen smiled wryly: "Some brothers can't help it, sometimes they listen to the discussions in the streets..."

Zhang Anshi shook his head with a smile and said: "You have to be patient, what is it to be able to take people, people who can't be tolerated can become great, teach them to learn from me, I bear the humiliation, don't I also calm down like this. "

Chen Daowen had no choice but to say: "Yes, humble...you must explain it to me."

Zhang Anshi nodded: "Go, yes, call that Zhu Jin."

"Yes."

In the evening, Zhu Jin came panting.

When Zhang Anshi saw it, he smiled and said, "How is it?"

Zhu Jin said: "The arrangements have been made."

Zhang Anshi smiled slightly: "Very good, thank you for your hard work."

Zhang Anshi patted him on the shoulder, sighed and said, "Next, it will be very interesting."

Zhu Jin smiled bitterly and said, "Captain...Actually..."

Zhang Anshi interrupted him: "Okay, don't be long-winded, go and do your work."

For more than ten days in a row.

Xia Yuanji came to the Zhang family as usual.

He didn't believe it anymore, Zhang Anshi could hide for a lifetime.

He couldn't swallow the breath.

No one in this life dared to insult his IQ like this.

Of course, the most important thing is that both inside and outside the government and the public have great sympathy for Xia Yuanji.

Even His Majesty, it is difficult to say anything at this time.

If he, Minister of the Household Department, does not stand up at this time, other people who were victimized along with him will probably say that he is weak.

What's more, this is real money, and it belongs to the Xia family.

When everyone arrived at Zhang's house, the people of Zhang's family cooperated and did not dare to stop them, and opened the door obediently. Yoshito Xia Yuan and others were familiar with Zhang's family, so they went in immediately. The Zhang family even thoughtfully prepared a guest room for Yoshito Xia Yuan and others.

When they arrived in the room, Xia Yuanji sighed, and Xia Xuan, who was already on duty, also came into the room and poured a cup of tea for Xia Yuanji.

Hearing Xia Yuanji's sigh, Xia Xuan said, "Father..."

Xia Yuanji waved his hand: "It's really gentle."

Xia Xuan said: "Father, forget it."

Xia Yuanji shook his head: "It can't be counted, the atmosphere has reached this point, even if the old man forgets, I'm afraid that the old man will be pushed back to the cusp of the storm inside and outside the capital, you say... this An Shi has earned so much ill-gotten wealth , why does he want to scrape away even this bit of oil and water? This person is really greedy."

Xia Xuan said: "I heard people say that Zhang Anshi owes a lot of money..."

Xia Yuanji shook his head: "This is what worries me the most."

Xia Xuan said: "Father means..."

Xia Yuanji said: "Zhang Anshi is a genius in the sky. The old man said bluntly that when it comes to writing articles and being an official, the old man is ten times better than him. He can talk about many wonderful ideas. The old man is not as good as him. Such a person... If he can think of the common people, he will be considered small if he can benefit the country. In the future, he will revitalize the world and truly rule the world of Yao and Shun as the sages said, he must be this son."

Xia Yuanji said again: "However, if such a person does not care about helping the world, but only cares about the selfishness of the family, and his heart is on robbery, the more clever and talented he is, the more he will It may harm the country, think about it, he dares to do this even with the money of people like this old man, what about other people?"

Xia Xuan said: "Father, what are you talking about at this time?"

Xia Yuanji waved his hand: "You don't understand, the old man is the minister of the country. Hey... I think back then, Master Yao... gave up his life for Zhang Anshi to pave the way for the New Deal. How could he have expected that... now... he has fallen into such a situation Woolen cloth?"

Xia Xuan said: "Master Yao died because of..."

Xia Yuanji glanced at Xia Xuan cautiously: "You can't say these words casually, of course... this is just the old man's guess, and it may not be true. Master Yao passed away. If it were someone else, the old man would think that it would be wrong to die like this." It may not be impossible. But who is Yao Guangxiao, who is so proficient in tactics and can kill him, no one has been born yet. Anyway, let’s not talk about these gossips, no matter what, this time, the old man and that Zhang Anshi... It’s a fight , let me see, he will never be able to shrink back for a lifetime."

Then he said: "At the end of the month, it will be the court meeting. He, the Duke of Wei, the governor of the right governor's mansion, and the commander of Jinyiwei, if he has the ability, don't go to the court. Let's see how long he can hide. He will always come out and give us An explanation."

Xia Xuan said: "It's all my son's fault, my son... is really dead, if it wasn't for me causing trouble..."

Xia Yuanji waved his hand, smiled and said, "It's not your fault, it's the old man, the old man is blind."

I stayed here that night without mentioning it.

It's the end of the month.

Inside and outside the capital, there are still many discussions.

People are discussing, in the current situation, whether Ting Yi's Zhang Anshi also stays behind closed doors.

Because of Zhang Anshi's retreat, many people have paid more attention to it. In this capital, no one is more willing to see Zhang Anshi's jokes than they are.

It's the second quarter of Yin time.

At this time, the sky is still dark.

In the model camp, Zhang Anshi had come out with a team of guards.

Zhang Anshi breathed white air, although he was wearing thick clothes, he still felt that he couldn't withstand the chill of the night.

A team of guards guarded him, and then rode to the capital.

When it was close to Mao, he just entered the capital, and then went straight to the Meridian Gate.

Outside the Meridian Gate, the hundreds of officials who entered the court had been waiting for a long time, and when the palace gate opened, the princes of Gungun filed in.

When Xia Yuanji came, he looked left and right, but he was disappointed that he didn't see Zhang Anshi.

And the other princes obviously couldn't help but feel very disappointed. That Zhang Anshi... really lost his face. In order to earn these money, what is he doing?

It wasn't until all the officials entered the Meridian Gate that Zhang Anshi came late on his horse. He fell off the horse, and then an eunuch greeted him: "Dudu Zhang... It's going to be late, it's going to be late, the hour is coming."

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "I arrived on time, don't be afraid, I will definitely make it in time, help me enter the city gate to see if the person who entered the court has gone far."

The eunuch smiled wryly, and walked around the palace gate: "It's already a hundred paces away."

Zhang Anshi nodded, and then went in, not forgetting to say: "Yes, he is very clever, next time... I will find a chance to talk to my brother-in-law, teach the East Palace to ask you to go to the East Palace."

Hearing this, the eunuch was flattered and hurriedly bowed down: "The half-crippled body of a servant girl, who is despised by others, can be loved by the governor today..."

Zhang Anshi waved his hand: "Alright, alright, goodbye."

When Zhang Anshi appeared in Chongwen Hall, it immediately caused a sensation in the hall.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Anshi really came today.

But at this time in the palace, we need to pay attention to Chen Yi, no one can say anything, just a pair of eyes, rushing towards Zhang Anshi one by one.

Zhang Anshi stood still.

Immediately, Zhu Di ascended to his seat.

Zhu Di was waiting for Zhang Anshi to send someone to ask for leave yesterday. He waited and waited, but he didn't wait.

Seeing Zhang Anshi standing in front of him with a red face now, Zhu Di shook his head in his heart, but he quickly put it aside.

All the officials saluted.

Zhu Di only said indifferently: "Today's discussion..."

"Your Majesty..." Xia Yuanji stood up.

Zhu Di's eyes fell on Xia Yuanji, and if he dared to think about my words at this time, it seemed that Xia Yuanji was really angry this time.

Zhu Di smiled: "What do you want to play?"

Xia Yuanji said: "I'm guilty of ten thousand deaths, and what I'm playing is my family affairs. Today, in the temple, family affairs are taken into account. It's really shameless. But... If you don't say anything about it, your heart feels like a stick in your throat. So I'm still determined not to spit it out."

Zhu Di shook his head, his eyes lingering on everyone's face.

Obviously, many people came with the mentality of watching the excitement, and they all had teasing looks on their faces.

Zhu Di said, "Say it, tell it."

Xia Yuanji said: "I want to play Wei Guogong..."

Zhang Anshi stood up at this time: "Is Xia Butang going to play something about that place?"

Xia Yuanji asked, "How does Duke Wei explain it?"

Zhang Anshi said: "I won't explain."

Xia Yuanji: "..."

Zhang Anshi said: "Xia Butang please calm down, this matter...is my fault."

Xia Yuanji: "..."

Originally thought that there would be a confrontation, but who knew that Zhang Anshi's posture was so low.

However, it is impossible for one person to be fooled twice, so Xia Yuanji was even more vigilant: "Then what will Duke Wei do?"

Zhang Anshi said: "The previous contracts are all invalid. These lands should belong to Xia Butang, and they still belong to Xia Butang. Not only that... I, Zhang Anshi, would also like to make up for other spiritual losses caused by Xia Butang. How about this, how about Zhang Anshi's interest on all the loans that each family borrows from the bank?"

Xia Yuanji: "..."

In Chongwen Hall, everyone looked at Zhang Anshi in astonishment.

Is this still Zhang Anshi?They had never seen Zhang Anshi so cowardly.

Xia Yuanji muttered, but was speechless. He was a little confused and couldn't understand why Zhang Anshi gave in so much.

In fact, this matter belongs to the public saying that the public is right, and the mother-in-law is right. From a moral point of view, Zhang Anshi is indeed not kind, but from the perspective of the law, after all, he signed the contract in black and white, even if he can choose If something goes wrong, it's just a case without a head.

But Zhang Anshi gave in directly, and he was even willing to bear the interest on the loan.

The interest of so many people is also a fortune.

Zhang Anshi said: "Why, Xia Butang still feels dissatisfied?"

"This... this..." Xia Yuanji didn't know where to start.

Zhang Anshi said: "Since Mr. Xia has nothing to say, what does Jinbutang... what does Jinbutang think?"

After a few days of 'fainting', Jin Butang had obediently tactically recovered and was on duty honestly. He also thought it was a bad battle at first, but how could he know that before the attack started, the opponent had bowed his knees.

He coughed: "It would be great if it was solved like this."

Zhu Di: "..."

On the contrary, Zhu Di showed displeasure on his face. You Zhang Anshi cheated people's money and cheated people's money. After all, Zhang Anshi sold the land and signed the contract in the name of a commercial firm. Wouldn't this cause huge troubles? Too much, isn't this money earned?

In that firm, I occupy the majority.

It's just that at this time, it's inconvenient to attack again.

Zhang Anshi said: "Then... I would like to congratulate Xiabutang, Jinbutang and the princes. As far as I know, your land has now increased to 300 taels of silver, and this land will be returned to you. In this way, the original 500 taels per mu of land turned around and made a net profit of 800 taels, congratulations, congratulations..."

After hearing this, Xia Yuanji's head was congested with blood, and he subconsciously said, "It's increased so much?"

He regretted it after he finished speaking, these words should not have come out of his own mouth.

Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "Isn't that the case? It's strange to say that the original land price was actually lukewarm. Although some people are interested in it, but... with so much land on hand, it is not easy to sell all of them. .but guess what?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Anshi and held their breath one by one.

Seeing Zhang Anshi pause here, everyone strained their ears, but they couldn't see what was going on, so they couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Zhu Di couldn't bear it anymore: "Speak up if you have something to say."

Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "But since Xiabutang and others made troubles, the world was shaken, and the crowd was raging. It's really strange... There are many people from inside and outside the court and field to inquire about the land of various stations in Taiping Mansion. Now, everyone is scrambling to buy it. I really can't resist such enthusiasm, and I have repeatedly raised the price, but there are a lot of buyers, and there are still people who don't even blink, and sell as soon as they say it, so... say Come on, thanks to Xiabutang and Jinbutang, if it weren't for you... I don't know how to sell my 7000 mu of land. It's all right now, not only in just a few days They are all sold out, and the price has been rising day by day, Your Majesty... I don't know how to thank Duke Xia and Duke Jin."

After Zhu Di heard this, his long and narrow eyes suddenly turned into leopard eyes.

At this moment, many people finally began to recall it.

………………

Chapter 2 was delivered, and I was still a little weak, so I took a break to write it out, and it was late, sorry.
