Chapter 161 Kill

Zhu Yunqi's kick really poured out all his anger.

With this kick, I heard a wail.

Chen Ji only felt severe pain in his leg bones, and he fell down.

Immediately afterwards, his face turned pale from the pain, and he hugged his leg like a puddle of mud, screaming like a pig being slaughtered.

I saw people rolling on the ground, which can be described as gentle and sweeping.

No one expected...the person in front of him who called himself Zhu Yunqi...could be so 'rude'.

After Zhu Yunwen stepped down, he looked down at Chen Ji on the ground, clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, good, good."

Last moment, his face was full of anger, but after this kick went out, the anger seemed to gradually calm down miraculously.

But the scholar was just silent, no one stopped him, let alone helped Chen Ji.

Everyone is upset.

There is an indescribable feeling.

At this moment... a team of guards rushed in aggressively, and shouted: "I heard that there are people making trouble here. Be bold. At the feet of the emperor, this place is the place where Mr. Chen teaches. Who dares to make mistakes."

The leader is a Dutou, and this Dutou looks aggressive.

In fact, the people in Yingtian Mansion had already received hints from Shangguan that this Mr. Chen from Confucius Temple must be considerate.

This is actually understandable. For officials, no one can offend the minister who resigned. Although he resigned, some connections are still there. Who knows who is behind it.

On the other hand, this Mr. Chen is very popular, and now he has a good reputation among scholars. If he offends him at this time, he is afraid that he will be reviled by scholars all over the world.

So as soon as he heard that someone was making trouble, Dutou, who had been instructed, came immediately.

He shouted loudly, with a big belly and a aggressive look, seeing Chen Ji being knocked down, he was shocked, and bluffed in his mouth: "Which thief is it, which thief? "

A scholar pointed at Zhu Yunwen and said, "It's him."

"It's actually a monk? How courageous!" Dutou cursed directly, saying: "Who are you monk, dare to act fiercely here, do you really think there is no king's law here?"

Another scholar said: "He is Zhu Yunwen."

"Which bird is Zhu Yunqi..." All the heads sneered and cursed, but soon, his expression changed.

Zhu Yunwen?

Everyone's face suddenly turned pale.

Before that, no one was bold enough to impersonate Zhu Yunqi, unless you thought you didn't die fast enough.

And Zhu Yunqi still clasped his hands together, looking calm.The knot in his heart has been solved, his heart is calm, and he has entered the time of the sage.

It's all stuck here.

Suddenly, someone walked quickly in front of Dutou. Without saying anything, he just took out something from his sleeve and stuffed it into Dutou's hand.

Du touched it with his head, and immediately knew that it was an iron waist card. Then, his face became even more miserable, and he knelt down with a click.

This unremarkable person only said indifferently: "Get out!"

With pale faces, they kowtowed hurriedly, and hurriedly fled with the others.

The unattractive man said to Zhu Yunwen, "Monk, follow me."

Zhu Yunwen's expression was indifferent, and he only said: "Very good, very good."

After all, he quietly followed the man away.

At this time...only some scholars stepped forward and helped Chen Ji up.

Chen Ji still felt the pain in his leg bones.

Someone brought him a cup of tea, and he took a sip reluctantly, thinking about what happened just now, and then looked up at the scholars around him. These scholars seemed to have suffered severe mental trauma, and they were all downcast, as if they had taken time out.

Chen Ji was in a mess.

Everything happened so fast.

Just when he was still thinking about... how to explain his speech next.

A few more unremarkable people came in front of Chen Ji.

One of them took out a driving sticker and said, "Chen Ji?"

Looking at the driving sticker, Chen Ji seemed to be killed by someone, and he shouted: "I...I..."

"Let's go." The unremarkable man said kindly.

"Forgive your life...forgive your life..."

It's a pity that these people didn't pay attention to him at all, someone directly set him up, and then left.

Only a group of scholars were left, looking around in horror, like frightened birds, with terrifying expressions on their faces.

This tea shop... suddenly became surprisingly quiet.

But Zhu Di and Zhang Anshi who were still in the corner just now disappeared without a trace.

Zhu Di drove back to the palace, returned to the palace, and directly arrived at the Wulou.

Yao Guangxiao said: "Your Majesty, I am guilty of death."

Zhu Di was unusually calm: "There's no need to say any more crimes, is my measure so small?"

Yao Guangxiao has always known Zhu Di's temperament. In fact, Zhu Di is very easy to get along with. As long as you can bear him scolding your mother, and have a correct attitude, if you don't play tricks in front of him, you can say anything.

It's a big sin, even if you confess it sincerely, he can still ignore it.

Yao Guangxiao said guiltily: "After all, it was my minister's negligence that almost caused a catastrophe."

Zhu Di shook his head: "In my opinion, it didn't cause any serious disaster."

He paused, and said again: "What's wrong with that?"

When he spoke, he looked thoughtful, as if he was thinking about something.

Yao Guangxiao suddenly seemed to understand something: "Your Majesty is thinking about...those scholars?"

Zhu Di stared at Yao Guangxiao with deep eyes, "What do you think?"

"It's not Jianwen they miss, they just want to vent their anger." Yao Guangxiao said.

Zhu Di put his hands behind his back: "Using the past to discuss the present, it doesn't really matter to them what the ancients did, and it doesn't even matter whether the past they talked about actually existed or not. Their purpose is actually to discuss the word today."

"Yes."

Zhu Di said: "It's nothing more than wanting to criticize me. They can use Jianwen to criticize me, they can also use Emperor Taizu Gao, or even any emperor in ancient times. They can use it to compare me and judge me."

Yao Guangxiao said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Zhu Di said coldly: "Master Yao thinks how to deal with it."

"It depends on Your Majesty." Yao Guangxiao said.

Zhu Di said, "Huh?"

"If you can win people's hearts by buying them, then Your Majesty should not hesitate to buy them. It's just that the poor monk... What I'm worried about is... some people... the price of buying them may be high." Yao Guangxiao said lightly.

After Zhu Di heard it, he suddenly understood: "Yes, some people are born rich, and ordinary bribes can't buy their hearts. It's like a rich family. If you want to marry a girl from his family, yes For an ordinary man, it may be a waste of money, and the bride price you pay may even be considered light of you."

Zhu Di paused, and then said: "I'm not some Renzong."

Yao Guangxiao smiled and said: "Then Your Majesty...you have to consider another matter, you can't buy it...you can't let it go like this."

Zhu Di also showed a meaningful smile: "Well...that makes sense."

At that moment, he turned his head and looked in disbelief: "Where is the man?"

"Outside the palace." Yi Shiha said.

"Send him to come."

"Here."

…………

Zhang Anshi stood in the corner of the Wulou, without saying a word.

He doesn't like to join in the fun at this time. Zhang Anshi is actually not good at such scheming things. What he is good at is just making money.

As for Zhu Yong and the others, they were sensible and obediently stood by Zhang Anshi's side.

Soon, they saw Zhu Yunqi coming in.

This monk... has a relaxed expression on his face, not dignified at all.

After he entered the palace, Zhu Di stared at him firmly.

And Zhu Yunqi also raised his eyes calmly, and looked at him.

Zhu Di said: "It's all right now, everyone in the world knows that you are still alive!"

"The little monk will die forever." Zhu Yunwen said, but he didn't have any regrets.

Zhu Di snorted coldly: "Even now, you still do things like this without thinking about the consequences, it's really stupid."

Zhu Yunwen said: "I now understand that I am useless, I have not done a few right things in my life, but today... I have no regrets."

Zhu Di almost jumped his feet, and said angrily: "You can be light and light, but what should you do if you attract criticism from all over the world and schemes from people with ulterior motives? You...damn, your father is also considered a hero, why not?" Just give birth to a bastard like you! Sin, sin, you are even more asshole than Zhu Gaoxu!"

Zhu Yunqi just clasped his hands together, without saying a word.

Zhu Di said angrily, "What are your plans?"

"Young monk has no plans." Zhu Yunqi said calmly: "I'm used to staying in the temple, I'm used to begging for money, I also like to chant scriptures, I have no other hope in this life."

Zhu Di said: "If you return to vulgarity, I can order you to be the king of the county."

Zhu Yunwen shook his head, smiled, and said in a very casual way: "For fame and wealth, it's better to get a few steamed cakes in the market for alms, and it's better to go to the street and get dozens of pennies. Note... there are good alms for alms , even if it is alms, you can earn 10 yuan of wealth..."

Yao Guangxiao's face changed slightly.

Zhu Di only thought he was joking, or was using some Buddhist terminology, which was probably similar to nonsense such as having his own golden house in the book.

So Zhu Di said: "Since you have this kind of heart, I will not force others to make things difficult for you. You can follow Master Yao."

Zhu Yunwen was neither happy nor worried, he just nodded calmly and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Di said, "Stop messing around."

"Yes." Zhu Yunwen nodded.

Zhu Di looked back at Yao Guangxiao.

But he found that Yao Guangxiao's expression was a little strange at the moment.

But at this time, Zhu Di didn't want to take care of these things, and just confessed: "From now on...he doesn't have to take care of it anymore, he can do whatever he wants, but...we must prevent young people from taking care of them, so as not to make someone have evil intentions."

Yao Guangxiao said helplessly: "Your Majesty is embarrassing me. I can't take care of it, and I have to be careful. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it..."

Zhu Di said: "If you can't do it, you have to do it."

He sighed, but looked at Yishiha and said: "Choose a few eunuchs who used to be in the palace... they are also shaved, let's take care of them in the temple, this kid is a fool, he can't even take care of himself."

Yishiha then said, "Your maid obeys the order."

After explaining this, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Yunqi again: "Let's just expose the past."

Zhu Yunwen said: "Everything has passed away, how did it come from the past? Today there is only Monk Kongkong."

Zhu Di nodded in satisfaction, and he was silent for a moment: "Let Zhu Wengui come back to Nanjing and keep him in the palace."

Zhu Wengui was the second son of Zhu Yunwen. After the Battle of Jingnan, he was imprisoned in Guang'an Palace in Zhongdu (Fengyang) for a long time by Zhu Di's order, and he was known as Jianshuren.

Of course, after Ming Yingzong ascended the throne, thinking of the pity of this child who had been imprisoned since he was a child, he wanted to release him, and the ministers around him thought it was impossible.Yingzong insisted on going his own way, so at the age of 57, Zhu Wengui, known as Jianshuren, finally got his freedom, and the emperor gave him [-] eunuchs to serve him, and more than a dozen maidservants.

Zhu Di paused for a moment, and then said: "Order Zhu Wengui as the county king, let him enshrine the spirit seat of the former prince."

Zhu Yunwen was still neither sad nor happy, he nodded and said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Zhu Di said: "Other things, I will take care of them, you can be your monk."

Zhu Yunwen nodded, and then took his leave.

He didn't take a few steps.

Zhu Di's complexion showed a bit of complexity, and he said, "Peace!"

Zhu Yunqi didn't respond and had already stepped out of the Wulou slowly.

This Ping'an is Zhu Yunqi's childhood name, that's what Zhu Di called him when he was young.

Zhu Di sighed for a moment, sat down, sighed, and then said: "The past is over. Zhang Anshi..."

Zhang Anshi, who had been silently in the corner for a long time, was called by his name, and hurried forward and said, "The minister is here."

Zhu Di pondered for a moment, then said: "This Zhu Yunqi is quite protective of you."

Zhang Anshi became anxious: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? This just shows that he is short-sighted, that he is not good at understanding people, that he is blind, and I and he are innocent."

Zhu Di was happy: "Okay, I don't mean to blame you."

"Your Majesty is of course magnanimous and will not blame you, but I feel that you must explain things clearly."

Zhu Di couldn't help being amused, and said: "In a few days... I'm going to the bank, and you are tired, so let's leave."

Zhang Anshi heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly left as if he had received an amnesty.

After leaving the martial arts building, Zhang Anshi took a few brothers with him, cursing all the way: "Then Zhu Yunqi hurts people, it's as if I and him are ambiguous."

Zhu Yong said: "Brother, I think that Zhu Yunwen may be from the bottom of his heart. I think he is a good person."

"Hush." ​​Zhang Anshi glanced left and right before lowering his voice and said, "You bastard, we brothers can say these things behind closed doors, but don't tell them to the outside world. When you go outside, you have to help Big Brother clarify."

"I understand, I understand." Zhu Yong nodded hastily.

Zhang Anshi said: "Okay, everyone go back and have a rest. In a few days, big brother will take you to do big things. In these few days, big brother needs to settle down."

So the brothers walked out of the palace gate and dispersed.

……

In this martial building, only Zhu Di, Yi Shiha and Yao Guangxiao are left.

Yao Guangxiao didn't leave because he knew that His Majesty still had some things to take care of.

Sure enough... I waited for a while.

Then a eunuch stepped in and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Commander Ji Gang has arrived."

Ji Gang enters the building and salutes.

Zhu Di raised his eyes: "Did someone take it?"

"Take it."

"Pry something out of his mouth." Zhu Di was expressionless. At this moment, there was no emotion in his eyes, but it was inexplicably cold.

Ji Gang said: "Humblely obey the order."

"After three days, report the results."

"Here."

…………

In prison.

One after another piercing wailing came out, which made people feel creepy!

Chen Ji, who had already been bruised and bruised, passed out again and again, and woke up again and again.

He was hanging all over, and all the clothes on his body were taken off. At this moment, he only had one thought, he wanted to die...

If he could die now, he would even wish to give all his wives and concubines to the person in front of him at this time, wishing to kowtow to him again.

But... For some people, death is also a luxury.

He began to feel confused and slurred.

"I... I... am not a rebellious party... I am not a rebellious party."

A cold voice came out from the darkness: "Er is not a rebel? How dare you slander your majesty like this? Someone must have instructed you behind your back, say, who is it?"

Chen Ji was about to cry: "I didn't, I didn't... Please, kill me, kill me."

Immediately... there was a scream.

Finally... the person in the darkness came out step by step. This person had no expression on his face, but when Chen Ji looked at him, he couldn't express his fear.

Ji Gang.

In front of Zhu Di, Ji Gang was as harmless as a quail.

But here...he is equivalent to Yan Luo.

His eyes scraped across Chen Ji's body like knives, and then said lightly, "Is it Xie Jin?"

Chen Ji still howled, "I'm not a rebel."

"Or Hu Guang? Or Yang Rong?"

Suddenly, Ji Gang's eyes narrowed, his face slightly ferocious.

He lifted Chen Ji's almost deformed chin with his hand, and said, "It can't be...Yi Shiha, right? Or Zheng He? Is it Wang Jinghong, Hou Xian, or Liu Yongcheng?"

Chen Ji shivered.

The last five are the eunuchs most trusted by His Majesty at that time.

He was trembling, his mouth seemed to be closed, and he looked straight at Ji Gang: "I... I... I am a rebellious party... I am a rebellious party..."

Ji Gang showed disappointment: "Without them?"

Chen Jishen said like a sieve: "No... no... yes... Xie Jin... Xie Jin... I heard that I resigned, congratulations... congratulations to me..."

Ji Gang turned his head, glanced at the clerk of the Experience Department, and only uttered one word: "Ji."

Immediately, Ji Gang stared at Chen Jidao again: "What else?"

"No more." Chen Ji looked terrified.

But Ji Gang said: "You just said that you are a rebellious party, but what about your accomplices?"

Chen Ji said nothing.

But Ji Gang did not continue the trial, and retreated into the darkness of the execution room.

Immediately, several people stepped forward, and Chen Ji's miserable scream came from inside again.

"I said...I said..."

Ji Gang took his seat, and in this bloody torture room, he took a teacup from a captain, took a sip of tea leisurely, and said slowly: "You can speak slowly, I'm not in a hurry, we have time deal with."

"Say... I said... there is one thing... I know... it's really a rebellious party... there are remnants of Beiyuan...they...they...have been secretly trying to restore Qianyuan, and they secretly called Hong Emperor Wu is a rebel...they have been colluding secretly..."

Hearing this, Ji Gang showed disappointment again.

As the commander of Jinyiwei.

In many cases, he doesn't necessarily care about the real chaos and the remnants of the party.

What he cares more about...whether he can pry out something more beneficial to him from the mouths of each prisoner.

So Ji Gang stretched his waist, and said calmly: "Speak."

"When I resigned, some people approached me. They thought...they must think that I was dissatisfied with the court, so...hoped to win me over...I...I...were timid and dared not agree...these people ...the momentum is not small..."

When Chen Ji stumbled to explain, Ji Gang stood up expressionlessly, with his hands behind his back, walked out of the execution room slowly, and left the clerk a word: "Record the file."

People have walked out of the torture room slowly, leaving only Chen Ji talking to himself.

………………

A report was quickly delivered to Zhu Di's desk.

After Zhu Di read the report, his face was angry, and he said, "Is there really anyone in this world colluding with the Tartars?"

Ji Gang lowered his head and said, "Judging from Chen Ji's statement, it should be..."

Zhu Di sneered: "This is very interesting, let's investigate thoroughly."

Ji Gang said humbly: "Here."

"It's just..." After a pause, Ji Gang said, "There is nothing more to pry from Chen Ji's mouth."

Zhu Di caressed the case, and said coldly: "It's going to be autumn, let's send him on the road."

"Here." Ji Gang clasped his hands, then tiptoedly left.

When Ji Gang left the Wulou, Shi Ha also came in.

Ji Gang quickly laughed and said, "Grandpa..."

Yishiha also said affectionately: "Commander Ji has worked hard these past few days."

"Where can it compare with the hard work of the Grand Duke in front of His Majesty?"

The two talked about this.Nodding to each other, they passed by.

Also Shiha entered the Wulou.

Zhu Di looked down at the report again, and frowned deeply: "I miss the past, am I so unbearable?"

To be honest, Zhu Di is not worried that these remnants can really overthrow the Ming Dynasty, but this matter is extremely insulting.

Zhu Di looked gloomy, and immediately got up and said: "Forget it, if you don't want to, let Ji Gang investigate. The truth will always come to light, and I will give you an explanation."

Zhu Di immediately said to Yishi: "Clean up and go to Qixia."

Yi Shiha was stunned and said, "Your Majesty is going again?"

Zhu Di said: "There is my business there, that bank...there is so much movement, I don't know whether it is a loss or a gain. Zhang Anshi taught me not to ask, but how can I not ask? This is money."

Yishiha understands that His Majesty has been thinking about the Qianzhuang these days and must go.

……

Soon after, Zhang Anshi and the others obediently came to the ferry to greet them.

Zhu Di didn't like to take the ferry at first, it was convenient to not take the ferry. When he got off the boat, he saw Zhang Anshi, who had already received the news, hurried to meet him with a group of guards.

Zhu Di looked at the cars and horses here like a dragon, and said with a smile: "Very good, very good, and a bit lively, Zhang Qing is really my Zhao Gongming."

Zhao Gongming is the God of Wealth.

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Don't dare, dare not, it's just a little bit of blood, sweat and silver. If your Majesty says this, outsiders will say that the minister is amassing too much money."

Zhu Di said: "Where is the bank, let me see it."

Zhang Anshi didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly led Zhu Di to the nearest bank.

Now the news of this bank has spread like wildfire, and people from all over the country are willing to come here to save money and borrow money.

This kind of small loan is the most popular nowadays.

Seeing that there was already a long queue here, Zhu Di and Zhang Anshi entered through the back door.

Behind the bank, there are a large number of people working on the abacus to put all the deposited silver and coins into the treasury. On the other side, there are people who calculate the loan amount.

There are dozens of people, each of them performs their duties, shuttles back and forth, and writes down bills one by one.

Zhu Di said, "These people... are all hired?"

Zhang Anshidao: "Yes, this bank alone employs more than 70 people, all of whom are required to be able to read and write, so the salary is not low. Even if you have just entered the industry, you will be given ten taels of silver a month."

Zhu Di said, "So expensive?"

He didn't go to look at the densely packed accounts, but although this place is messy, it is not chaotic, but everyone is responsible for the matter at hand, messy but not chaotic.

Zhang Anshi invited him to the second floor. After Zhu Di sat down in this building, Zhu Di said, "This bank... lends money at only five per cent interest?"

Zhang Anshidao: "It is indeed five percent now. The bank will also make adjustments according to the actual situation, but the adjustment range is not large, and it is probably around this five percent."

Zhu Di said: "Then Zhu Yunqi said that you are doing good deeds. From this point of view... you are really doing good deeds, five per cent... I have never seen such an interest in this world."

Zhu Di was not ignorant of the people, he sighed: "You...you are good at doing good deeds, which shows that you have finally learned a little bit of love for the people from me."

After a pause, Zhu Di said again: "It's just...you're already in business, but you can't do good deeds without restraint. You will suffer from such interest."

Zhang Anshi smiled: "Your Majesty... will not suffer."

"With such a low interest rate, you won't suffer a loss?"

"Not only will you not suffer a loss, but you can also make a lot of money." Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty... Theoretically speaking, how much money we have on hand, and lending it at such a low interest rate is indeed a disadvantage. After all... there may be some There are bad debts, and... the money can be used for anything, so why care about the mere five per cent profit?"

Zhang Anshi paused and said: "But has your Majesty ever thought about it, if the money borrowed is not our own? This means that we have endless silver. If we lend out 100 million taels of silver on hand, we will only get five hundred taels of silver. Percent interest, although it is nothing more than 5 taels earned throughout the year? But what if we have ten one million taels, one hundred one million taels, or even one thousand one million taels?"

After Zhu Di heard this, his eyeballs almost fell out: "You might as well make your words clearer."

Zhang Anshidao: "The purpose of our lending is to revitalize our business, and at the same time bring us greater influence and credit. In the eyes of others, so many people in the world owe us money, and the bank's credit is worth it." Do you doubt? Therefore, we use this... to absorb savings, for example, I use two percent interest to encourage everyone to deposit silver in our bank."

"In this way, the people's excess money is sent to the bank, and we give him an interest of [-]%, and then we lend it out at [-]%, and there is an interest difference in the middle, and the interest difference is not small. Think about it, Your Majesty, if we use people with surplus money in the world to lend money to people in need of silver... the amount of gold and silver flow involved in this is terrible. Even if this addition and subtraction are only [-]% The interest rate difference, but the three percent price difference of countless millions of taels of silver, what does it mean?"

Zhu Di understood all of a sudden, his body shook, his eyes shone brightly, and in an instant, Zhu Di became fierce.
