Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

dawn.

The white fish belly that appears in the early morning always gives people a sense of confusion. In the distance, a touch of red slowly rises in the sky, and the blowing wind is chilly.

"Are you sure Fangchang Guild will come?"

Outside Fanjiabao, Huang Degong frowned slightly, looked at the wide road in the distance, frowned and said to the soldiers beside him: "What time has it been? Even if we are waiting for news from other companies, we should be here now."

"General, you can't hear me wrong."

The man hurriedly said: "When I was leaving, Mr. Fang Changgong specially told me to be careful. When news comes back from other places, Mr. Fang Changgong made arrangements and rushed to Fanjiabao."

"Fuck you."

Huang Degong glared and said, "Why hasn't that person arrived yet?"

The man lowered his head.

How could he know that Fang Zhenghua hadn't come yet.

It shouldn't be.

At that time, Huang Degong was thinking secretly in his heart. Ever since he and Fang Zhenghua secretly investigated in Xuanfu Town, Fang Zhenghua had been acting vigorously and resolutely.

If such an important person is arrested now, Fang Zhenghua will definitely come as soon as possible.

Could it be that something unexpected happened on the way?

Thinking of Huang Degong here, he immediately gave up this ridiculous idea. Even though Fang Zheng Huagui became the eunuch of the Royal Horse Supervisor and the admiral of the Western Police Factory, he was the powerful eunuch of the inner court. But Fang Zhenghua is not weak at all. This is different from the old man. Wei Zhongxian is completely different.

However, when Huang Degong thought of these, new feelings arose in his heart.

The powerful eunuchs in the inner court are more ruthless than the last!

That's not fake.

It's so cruel!

Originally, Huang Degong's feelings towards Wei Zhongxian were just like that, but after spending time with Wei Zhongxian in Datong Town, Huang Degong's thoughts were completely changed.

Whoever you provoke, don’t mess with the eunuchs of the inner court!

Especially those in power.

Huang Degong prides himself on being extremely courageous, but after seeing Wei Zhongxian's methods, Huang Degong realized why he was able to dominate the government and occupy the top position of the eunuch in power in the inner court!

"General! People are coming!!"

While Huang Degong was sighing with emotion, an excited voice sounded in his ears. Huang Degong followed the sound and saw a cavalry galloping towards them, and they quickly arrived.

"General Huang, where is he?"

Fang Zhenghua, who came after a long journey, tightened the reins in his hands, turned over and dismounted skillfully, and dozens of horsemen following behind him dismounted one after another.

"Under guard in the main hall."

Huang Degong hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and said with a serious expression: "But this beast is stubborn and stubborn. We will send someone to interrogate him eventually, but he didn't say anything except that he wanted to see the person in charge..."

"Can you please General Huang to take our family there?"

Fang Zhenghua, who was holding a riding crop in his hand, pointed forward and said, "The situation Fan Yongdou grasps is very important. We must pry open his mouth no matter what."

"it is good."

Huang Degong nodded in response, then turned around and walked towards the fort. When going to the main hall of Fanjiabao, Huang Degong hesitated for a moment, but still asked about the situation of Founder's transformation.

Huang Degong was shocked by the news he received.

Some of the lackeys and scum headed by the Fan family actually escaped. This is why Fang Zhenghua didn't come until now.

Fanjiabao occupies a large area and is called a fort externally. In fact, in the Jiexiu area, it is called a courtyard because all this land is occupied by the Fan family.

Under the guidance of Huang Degong, they walked all the way towards the main hall of Fanjiabao. Fang Zhenghua was shocked. This was not something that a merchant could own. This was clearly a small town!

Compared with the direct visual impact of the buildings in Fanjiabao, what really shocked Fang Zhenghua was the fact that no one reported this to anyone! !

How much people's support and anointing is needed for this! !

Fang Zhenghua's hanging hands were clenched. Perhaps Fanjiabao was not worth mentioning compared to the Forbidden City, but such a building complex was definitely worthy of its reputation in Shanxi.

There are probably not a few buildings like this.

But Shanxi is so barren. The key is that there have been frequent disasters in recent years. There are so many refugees fleeing the countryside. Many people starve to death every day. All this has become unusual! !

"Huang Yongfa and Jin Liangyu were not caught, were they?"

As soon as Fang Zhenghua walked into the main hall, he saw a middle-aged man with a bruised nose and a swollen face. He looked at Fang Zhenghua with a half-smile, "This father-in-law really cares about me."

"Damn you!!"

Seeing Fan Yongdou being so arrogant, the hot-tempered Huang Degong became angry and was about to draw his knife and walk towards Fan Yongdou, but Fang Zhenghua stretched out his hand to hold him back.

"You know our family is going to arrest you?"

Fang Zhenghua looked calm, holding the riding whip in his hand, and walked slowly towards Fan Yongdou.

"How could you not know?"

Fan Yongdou sneered, facing Fang Zhenghua's gaze and said: "Fan knew what happened when news came back from Zhangjiakou Fort in Xuanfu Town."

"So you secretly promoted the mutiny in Xuanfu Town?"

Fang Zhenghua asked rhetorically.

"Yes."

Fan Yongdou did not deny it, "It's a pity that the chess piece was wrong and we couldn't let you die in the chaos. Otherwise, the chaos in Xuanfu Town would definitely alarm the court."

"If that's the case, then why don't you run away?"

Fang Zhenghua asked curiously: "Don't tell our family, you have no chance to escape. If you can stay in Shanxi, you can let Xuanfu suppress the chaos. The strength you can gather in private must be considerable."

"It's not that I haven't thought about it, but there are many things that you can't just do if you want to."

Fan Yongdou smiled and shook his head, mocking himself: "The West Jishi Factory and the Dongjishi Factory in Beijing came under the rule of Xuanfu and Datong successively. Even if we try to escape, I am afraid it will make some people uneasy." ah."

"who are they?"

Fang Zhenghua frowned.

As more truths were uncovered, deep in Fang Zhenghua's heart, an intuition emerged. With Fan Yongdou's humble status as merchants, even though they had a lot of wealth in their name, they wanted to influence so many places. It's simply impossible.

"Really want to know?"

The corners of Fan Yongdou's mouth turned up slightly and he said, "Even if Fan tells you, would you dare to investigate thoroughly?"

"You're looking for f*cking death!!"

Seeing Fan Yongdou being so arrogant, Huang Degong raised his knife and said angrily: "Believe it or not, I will chop you alive!!"

For Huang Degong, Fan Yongdou and the others had gone through so much trouble and not letting them go would be the greatest desecration of the imperial dignity.

As a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, he dares to do things that harm the country. Such people should be killed! !

"If our family guessed correctly, you have children who have followed Huang Yongfa and the others and have fled out of Shanxi, right?"

Fang Zhenghua waved his hand, staring at Fan Yongdou with his cold eyes, "Even when you did this kind of thing before, you thought that what happened today would happen, and you secretly arranged the industry a long time ago, right?"

Fan Yongdou's face did not change, but the hands hidden in his sleeves trembled slightly.

"I just want to make more money. Is there anything wrong with this?" Fan Yongdou suddenly became emotional when Fang Zhenghua looked at him like this.

"Don't you want to investigate? Okay, then Fan will ask you to investigate. We have been involved in oral smuggling since the Wanli Dynasty. Do you know about the battle in Liaodong? Haha, Jianlu has a lot of grain, salt, Iron materials, medicinal materials, etc. were all secretly transported out of Zhangjiakou Fort by us!!!"

Fang Zhenghua's face changed slightly.

Although he had been mentally prepared before, Fang Zhenghua was still shocked when such words came out of Fan Yongdou's mouth.

It actually started from the Wanli Dynasty? !

How many years has it been? !

No wonder the imperial court closed down the Guanguan horse market in northern Xinjiang and Liaodong successively, hoping to completely block the rampant Jianlu, but the Jianlu were not affected at all.

The roots are actually here! !

"There is a secret compartment in Fan's study, where a list of names and a general ledger are hidden."

Fan Yongdou sneered and stared at the surprised Fang Zhenghua, "But Fan would like to advise you, if you don't want to cause chaos in Jiubian, then you'd better not touch it, haha!!!"

Nine sides?

Fang Zhenghua's hanging hands clenched tightly. He didn't expect that this matter would actually involve Jiubian. If this was the case, it would be a big deal! !
