The Ming Dynasty started with caution

One month ago, after Zhang Tianxiang's fraud was exposed, Wang Shouren went to the Liaodong Health Center to investigate the case.

He did not forget to promote his mind science and brought back a group of scholars who admired the mind science.

The carriage and horses drove slowly into the streets of the capital. The scholar walked on both sides of the carriage and horses, following him into the capital on foot.

Yan Chengjin thought he was a fan of Li Dongyang.

After all, in the capital, only Li Dongyang could have the privilege of being escorted by a bastard when he went out.

It wasn't until Wang Shouren got off the carriage that he was shocked.

"Brother Gao, are you taking a rest today?" Wang Shouren bowed slightly.

Compared with when he was on duty in Hanyuan, he seemed to be much more cheerful and no longer looked like he was thinking about what he wanted but couldn't get what he wanted.

Yan Chengjin said: "I am not feeling well, so I will take a rest for half a day."

Men also come to be uncles.

There are changes in hormones, intelligence, and mood.

To be cautious, whenever Yan Chengjin felt that his uncle was here, he would not write articles or discuss matters.

In order to avoid not thinking carefully, resulting in omissions in the formulated strategy.

"How's your investigation going on the Jiubian Crime Case?"

Wang Shouren looked at Yan Chengjin and hesitated to speak: "The situation in Jiubian is not good. If you have any questions, I need to go to the palace to see the saint first."

He had just seen Yan Chengjin's sedan on the carriage and specifically ordered him to stop to ask for help.

The scholar disciples brought back from Jiubian include those from rich families and those from poor families.

Settling in the capital requires a large sum of money for food, accommodation and transportation.

Although the prince's family was extremely wealthy, it was his father's money. His father was disgusted with his lectures, so how could he help his disciples?

It's just that Brother Gao has always been cautious and may not be willing to agree.

When Yan Chengjin saw him hesitating, he knew that something was hard to say: "Brother Bo'an, just tell me if you have something to say. Although I won't help, it doesn't hurt to listen."

"..." Wang Shouren.

Yan Chengjin estimated that it must be difficult to solve a problem that even a saint cannot solve, right?

In this case, don't ask for trouble.

Wang Shouren bowed slightly, lowered his head and his face was slightly red: "These scholars, my followers who lecture in Jiubian, have nowhere to stay in Beijing.

There are many collapsed houses and wing rooms in Liangxiang. Can you please ask Mr. Gao to make them cheaper? "

In the Ming Dynasty, scholars going to Beijing to study was tantamount to studying abroad in later generations.

The cost is a huge expense, and some people may even need to save up for several years.

Wang Shouren came from a well-known family and had no financial problems, but he could take these things into consideration for the scholar.

This guy's mind is really meticulous and suitable for handling cases.

Yan Chengjin looked at the group of scholars and said, "I have a condition. If Brother Bo'an agrees, I will give you the cheapest price."

"Brother Gao, please speak."

"If I place a scholar, Brother Bo'an will protect me ten times. I will keep the account first and draw it out when I need it."

Yan Chengjin felt that it was not a loss.

The feudal lord will soon enter the capital.

A strong guard with brains is needed. Ye Zhun has no brains and is not strong. Mou Bin and Xiao Jing are strong but have no brains.

Moreover, the two of them have to stay with His Majesty, not around the clock.

Wang Yue? For things like guarding, of course the more the better.

Wang Shouren was so used to it that he had even guessed it.

After all, his value to Brother Gao is only his force.

"It's not a problem, then I'll make an agreement with Brother Gao."

Wang Shouren turned around and said a few words, naturally he could not bring the scholar into the palace.

A group of scholars bowed slightly to Yan Chengjin.

Yan Chengjin asked his servants to take them to Liangxiang to find Xie Yu. Xie Yu was camped in Beijing when the house collapsed.

…

The Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment,

Xiong Gan found out all the people who were going to be executed by the Queen of Autumn, and prepared to reward His Majesty.

He was promoted to Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice and was in charge of the judiciary of the Ming Dynasty.

My greatest wish is to enforce the law fairly and make taxes equal, so as to help His Majesty achieve the prosperous Ming Dynasty.

"Master Xiong, I have thoroughly investigated the nine-side crime case and got a new list." Wang Shouren handed over the list.

Xiong Gan opened it and took a look: "I will report to His Majesty right now."

"I'm afraid, even the lower officials will have to face the Holy Spirit. This time, a thorough investigation was conducted on Jizhou for taking merit, and a case was discovered." Wang Shouren said.

…

Forbidden City, Dong Nuan Pavilion.

The cold wind rushed in from outside the palace door.

Although the treasury received a batch of silver coins, Emperor Hongzhi was still reluctant to use Dilong. He ordered Xiao Jing to burn a pot of charcoal fire and place it next to the imperial case.

Xiao Jing squatted on the ground, turning over the charcoal fire from time to time to make it burn more vigorously.

His Majesty's physique has changed greatly, and his ability to withstand cold has improved significantly.

It's just that my hands are stiff and I can't write well. Sometimes I need to put them next to a charcoal fire to dry them.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Tianxiang has been escorted back to the capital. Should he be thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, or should he be beheaded by the Jinyi Guards?"

Xiong Gan walked into the main hall and bowed slightly to ask for the music.

For people like Zhang Tianxiang, I wish I could kill him with my own hands.

Emperor Hongzhi turned his head slightly and looked at Xiao Jing: "How do I remember that I agreed to hand over Zhang Tianxiang to the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"

He remembered giving it to Yan Chengjin.

Xiong Gan said, "I will soon order someone to hand it over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Your Majesty, Wang Shouren is waiting for you outside the palace."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly and signaled King Xuan Shouren to come in.

"Your Majesty, Wang Shouren, is here to see you! I discovered in Ningyuan that the salt source in Liaodong is controlled by the gentry Lin Weihuai.

The government paid salt to this person instead of other salt merchants, allowing him to secretly control the price of salt in Liaodong. "

Buying and selling salt requires a salt guide.

If the government sells more to a certain salt merchant, the salt merchant will make a large profit.

Yanyin is divided into two types: regular stocks and deposits.

Those merchants holding regular salt permits could not exchange for salt for a year or two, and the salt permits were useless.

The stored salt permits could be exchanged immediately, much faster than regular salt permits.

Therefore, the stored salt permits were more expensive than regular salt permits.

Emperor Hongzhi put down his wolf hair brush, not expecting that Liaodong would be involved in corruption again.

"Wang Qing's family has been investigated, which official is related to it?"

Wang Shouren looked deeply at Emperor Hongzhi: "Shou Ning Hou and Jian Chang Bo!"

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath. He hadn't seen these two people for a long time. If Wang Shouren didn't mention it, he was too lazy to ask.

Xiao Jing knew what His Majesty was going to ask, so he took the lead and said nervously: "That day when we went to Liangxiang to see the silver mountain, Ning Shou Hou and Jian Chang Bo didn't return to the mansion and disappeared."

These two greedy people couldn't walk when they saw silver.

But the silver mine in Liangxiang was packed and taken back to the Ministry of Revenue. There was no reason for the two to stay in Liangxiang.

"How could two living people disappear? Dispatch the official dogs of the Wucheng Bingmasi and find them for me!" Emperor Hongzhi said angrily.

"Don't let the queen know about this for now."

Outside the palace, the yamen runners with official dogs searched the streets and alleys.

Xu Yong, the commander of the Wucheng Bingmasi, rode a big horse and led a big yellow dog to search the brothels one by one.

"Search the brothels first, and tell the madams that there have been no customers who have paid money for more than ten years, and they will know who it is."

"Yes, sir!"

Shuntian Prefecture and Wucheng Bingmasi received many complaints from brothels.

When the Zhang brothers were not in court, they liked to go to brothels, watch geishas playing music and singing, and eat and take broad beans without paying.

Xu Yong was helpless when he received the report from the madam, and he couldn't make a fuss about it.

So he gave them a few taels of silver and sent them away.

Yan Chengjin came back from Li's house and saw that Wucheng Bingmasi seemed to be arresting people, "Lord Xu, is there a serious criminal in the capital?"

The last time Wucheng Bingmasi was dispatched, it was to arrest Bai Lian.

If there is a traitor in the capital, he plans to ask Mou Bin for more Jinyiwei.

Xu Yong bowed and said respectfully: "The two lords of the Zhang family ran into the salt administration and fled. Your Majesty ordered their arrest. There is no riot in the capital, Lord Yan does not need to worry."

It's really time for the Zhang brothers to go to sea...

Yan Chengjin pretended not to know and took the sedan chair back to the house.

Half an hour later, Xu Yong entered the palace to report, "Your Majesty, the official dogs can't find anyone."

Emperor Hongzhi was angry: "Two living people, can they still run overseas!"

"According to the spy... Ningshou Hou bought a canal boat at Liangxiang Shipyard."
