Gonggong Xi was a large eunuch in Nanjing, in charge of the southern coinage and tax supervisors, and was the emperor's first-class confidant.

Today, just like Xu Guangqi, waiting for others to send the family wealth to the door, yesterday the family wealth sent by the Wang family is seven or eight million taels, even if it is the father-in-law who has more than 10 million silver dollars, he is also blinded, from yesterday to today, the whole person is smiling.

He started with the emperor to get silver, the first thing to start with was the Wei case, at that time he was responsible for getting silver from those officials, to Nanjing, in charge of the Mint Bureau, is also a job to get silver, and then there is the tax supervisor, although now you have to stick silver inside, you can collect taxes, anyway, it is also a job to make money, to now run a salt business, he naturally has to play the role of this silver-fishing, no one knows the emperor's mind better than him, and no one is more familiar with the way than him, yesterday Xu Ge Lao asked him to take care of the people of the Wang family, he sent someone to send people to Jiming Temple, and left people, saying that it was to take care of, in fact, it was to take care of, lest someone be unfavorable to the Wang family, the Wang family had no money to protect themselves, and some small people would inevitably beat his family's idea, which was considered to be dedicated, today, it was even more early to get up early, resigned from all the entertainment, and concentrated on waiting for the big money lord to send the silver to the door, there is really nothing more refreshing in the world......

“…… Boom, boom, boom...... "Xigong is just humming an unknown tune, waiting for the salt merchant to deliver the money to the door.

"Father-in-law, Xu Ge Lao sent a person there, it is the Liang family, a salt merchant in Huaiyang." The little eunuch walked in and whispered.

"Oh, someone has already come? The relationship is good, the relationship is good...... By the way, who sent someone here today? "Father-in-law Xi is still immersed in yesterday's joy, yesterday he received three or four million taels of silver alone, and received his soft hand, Xu Ge sent Shi Kefa to give it away, he knew that it must be Xu Ge Lao who wanted to take care of the Wang family, so today, I also asked first, and I was ready to judge today's harvest according to the grade of the officials who came to give it away.

"Back to my father-in-law, what kind of adult is it...... Uh, no, it's also an adult, but it's not as big as yesterday, it's from the Qincha guard next to Xu Ge Lao. "This little eunuch is also a sharp-eyed character, seeing that the person who sent someone over was just a small leader of the Qincha guard beside Xu Guangqi, he knew that today's family wealth was not as much as yesterday's, so naturally he didn't look down on today's family, of course, between the relationship between his father-in-law and Xu Ge Lao, he didn't dare to slander Xu Ge Lao's people, and changed his words again and again.

"Well...... let him in." Father-in-law Xi was in a bad mood, cleaned up his mood, and prepared to start the process.

After a while, the children of the Liang family were brought to Gonggong Xi.

The children of the Liang family also know this father-in-law, this father-in-law, is the man of the year in the city of Nanjing, the eunuch at the head, when he saw the father-in-law, he immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "Liang Xianke, the grass people, knock to see the father-in-law." ”

“…… You, you are the Liang family, what ......" Seeing that the person in front of him was too young, he didn't seem to be a person who could control the business of the Liang family, so he asked suspiciously.

"Back to my father-in-law, Liang Xianke, the grass people, my father Liang Shengyuan is the head of the Liang family, a salt merchant in Huaiyang......" The children of the Liang family immediately agreed.

"Well, I've heard of it, I've heard of it, by the way, what about your father? Why didn't you see your father? "Justice.

"Back to my father-in-law, the father of the grass people was invited to drink tea by Jinyiwei, and today I am fortunate to be rescued by Xu Gelao, and I can finally get out of prison...... "Liang Xianke, a son of the Liang family, said.

"Oh, no wonder, our family feels strange, how can it be you the ...... of the Liang family, get up, ......, since the elder has already promised you, it must be fine......" Father-in-law Xi glanced at the children of the Liang family, and said, Seeing that the Liang family, a salt merchant with a large number of them, was so good that he donated his family wealth so quickly, Father-in-law Xi's attitude towards the Liang family changed a little and became better. …,

"Thank you, father-in-law." Liang Xianke, a disciple of the Liang family, got up and stood respectfully, at this time, he was no longer as desperate and collapsed as earlier, but had some energy.

"Do you know what you are doing here today?" Father-in-law Xi was not hypocritical, so he asked directly.

"I know, I know, and I ask my father-in-law to take a look......" Liang Xianke, a child of the Liang family, immediately sent a list of his family wealth.

“…… How did you do it, how did it come to be less than four million taels? ...... "Father-in-law Xi just took a few looks, and he was furious, this bit of silver, it is too little, the Liang family is also a large salt merchant, but the total wealth of this family is less than four million, compared with the Wang family, it can be said that there is a world of difference, even if there is a gap with the Wang family, it should not be as much as a few million taels.

“…… Are you playing tricks on us? ...... "Throw that list on the ground right now, Father-in-law Xi is not Xu Guangqi, he has a good temper, he is far away from the capital, he is used to it, his voice and temper are naturally big."

"Father-in-law is angry, father-in-law is angry, please listen to the following explanation, because my father was invited to drink tea by Jinyiwei, so some uncles, brothers, and aunts in the family ran and walked, and rolled up a lot of family wealth to go out, and because of the dots around, therefore, the family wealth is empty, and it is by no means intended to expire the father-in-law, please check the ......father-in-law" Liang Xianke, a child of the Liang family, immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and immediately carved out the truth, looking like begging for mercy.

"Is there a royal law here? Dare to rob ...... "Father-in-law Xi is furious, this is obviously the meat in his own mouth, there is still a reason for others to rob it, this is not a few hundred taels, thousands of taels of silver, that is one or two million taels or more of silver.

"Someone," Father-in-law Xi immediately shouted angrily.

"The little ones are here." A few little eunuchs came in at once.

"Go and invite Brother Xu of Jinyi Wei ......" halfway through the sentence, Father-in-law Xi stopped again, this matter, he can't be too impulsive, in this matter, Xu Ge Lao has already agreed to let the head of the Liang family go, that is to say, the Liang family has already "landed" in this matter, and then through the use of the capture to move the people related to the Liang family, and the process of dealing with salt merchants is somewhat conflicting......

However, when he thought that the one or two million taels of silver were gone, his father-in-law was angry again.

“…… Wait......" Grandpa Xi calmed down instantly and said.

The little eunuch waited for Gonggong Xi's order, but what he waited for was a wait, and he kept standing there.

"Sit down......" Father-in-law Xi changed his face instantly, and said in a kind voice with Liang Xianke, a child of the Liang family.

"Father-in-law Xie......" Liang Xianke got up from the ground again, and sat on the chair with some trepidation, he also knew why Father-in-law Xi was so angry, a considerable part of his family property was swept away or knocked away, and there was so much family wealth missing, even if there was a reason, others would definitely think that he had hidden the family wealth privately, Xu Ge Lao was still good to talk to, it seemed that this father-in-law was afraid that it was not easy to discuss.

"Your Liang family can donate their wealth and cut off from the salt merchants, you are really a good salt merchant who is loyal and patriotic......" Father-in-law Xi began to calm down, knowing that it was not okay for him to be so angry, on this side was Xu Ge Lao who released people; On that side is one or two million taels of silver, I have to think of a way, and I started chatting with Liang Xianke of the Liang family, ready to find a way to recover the loss, and sit back and watch the loss of so much silver, it is not his style to like his father-in-law.

"Thank you father-in-law for your praise, you must do business and be a good person in the future, no longer mercenary, always consider Your Majesty, the difficulties of the court, do not let Your Majesty and the court be embarrassed, and my father-in-law will do what he wants to do." Liang Xianke, a child of the Liang family, is not a fool, Xu Ge said a few words when he left, he has also been pondering, Xu Guangqi told him that he will be a business person in the future, that is, tell him that they have passed the test this time, and they may come out to do business and do business in the future, of course, the premise is to be obedient, he pondered, there is a deep meaning in this, so he also used this sentence to say to Father-in-law Xi, ready to see how Father-in-law Xi reacted. …,

Father-in-law Xi unexpectedly glanced at this child of the Liang family, and saw that this child of the Liang family was so upright, reasonable, and had an idea.

"You are very attentive and understand what is going to come,...... Yes, people have to look forward, they can't patronize themselves, just look at the ...... in front of them, you can understand this, it means that you are attentive, very good ......, okay, our family doesn't say much, since Xu Ge Lao has spoken, our family will no longer embarrass you, nor will we embarrass your father, but there is something that needs you and your father to help, I don't know if you are willing or not? "Father-in-law Xi is responsible for making money, for such a huge loss, naturally he will not let go, if he easily let go of the two million taels of silver, the emperor knows, but he will not let him go, he just started by making money, if the emperor is suspicious of this, then he doesn't have to mix.

"My father-in-law is polite, if there is anything, my father-in-law just tells me to do it, and I will do it in the next, and my father-in-law will let me go east in the next, and never go west in the next." Liang Xianke of the Liang family immediately agreed.

"That's good, your family has the permission of Xu Gelao, naturally it has nothing to do with the salt merchant case, and I won't talk about the future future, but before that, there is still something that needs to be done by your family." Father-in-law Xi thought about it and said.

"Please let my father-in-law know." Liang Xianke, a disciple of the Liang family, said immediately.

"Your family's wealth shouldn't be only four million, and those that were swept away must also be recovered, otherwise, everyone will follow the same example, you are a few million, he is a few million, our family will not be able to play, our family will not be able to play, Your Majesty will definitely be thunderous, you know the consequences......" Xi Gonggong said coldly.

"I know, I know, what to do, please ......make it clear to my father-in-law" Liang Xianke, a child of the Liang family, immediately agreed, now their family has nothing, but they also "put it to death and live after", there is no family wealth, but he and his father-in-law, but he and the emperor have a line along the way, this is after the children of the Liang family donated all their family wealth, they suddenly understood, the Wang family really did not lie to him, after "death", the emperor will let a group of lives. Those people should die, those people should be born, it depends on everyone's actions, the sooner they die, the sooner they must be born, after he handed over the family wealth to Xu Guangqi, the whole person was loosened, those family wealth has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't have to care about those family wealth anymore, so his brain is extraordinarily clear, but he sees the hope of life, and now the Xi father-in-law asked him to do things, he agreed without hesitation, in his opinion, this is the performance of his family's "life", and he caught up with the Xi father-in-law in Nanjing City, and his family can be "alive" again......

"Originally, your father should have been released immediately, but most of your family's wealth was swept away, but you had to chase it back, otherwise, this errand would not be able to continue, so you and your father need to play a play, go to Jinyiwei to live for a few days, give our family a few days, and recover the family wealth that was swept away, three days later, you and your father will be free, no need to play again, if there is something in the future, naturally our family will take care of you, and it will not treat you badly, do you understand what our family means?" Father-in-law Xi immediately decided, those family wealth must be recovered, otherwise, with his family taking the lead, the people behind him will hide hundreds of thousands, and which one will hide one hundred thousand, and they will not be held accountable, how much will this cost? But the difficulty is also here, his family has been assigned to the "shore" by Xu Gelao, belongs to the kind of person who takes the lead in the road, if his family donates his family wealth, and does not let go or continue to handle his family's case, then no one dares to take this road in the future, the emperor finally drove the salt merchant to this road, but blocked himself, in that way, he is the emperor's big event, waiting for his result, it is conceivable, so he immediately decided, decided to limit himself to three days, in these three days, to recover those property that was swept away, still put the Liang family in Jinyiwei, including this Liang family's disciple Liang Xianke will also receive Jinyiwei, so, to create a kind of Jinyiwei to do his best to handle his family's case, and recover the money that was swept away, of course, the time can't be too long, his family as the person who took the lead in taking the road given by the emperor, if others see him take this road, he still gets that fate, he will not dare to go this road again, so, there must be a time limit, three days, is the limit of the happy father-in-law, three days later, When the family wealth is almost recovered, and then release the Liang family father and son, those people understand that Jinyiwei is just recovering the family wealth that has been swept away, this way of life can still be taken, this way is still effective, the problem is still not big, and it is also a warning to those salt merchants who want to get through the trick not to make a bad idea. …,

"Father-in-law rest assured, how to do it, father-in-law just commands, in the next is all according to the father-in-law's orders is ......" Liang Xianke, a child of the Liang family, at this time, already knows that although he has no family wealth, he also takes the line of his father-in-law, and it is not difficult to re-develop in the future.

"Well, that's good, in the past few days, I have wronged you, in addition, who has taken away your family wealth, how much has been swept away, and where has it been swept away, all of which require you to cooperate with your father to recover those family wealth as soon as possible, and the more you recover, the better, understand?" Father-in-law Xi said coldly, this matter, he made a lot of determination, but also took a lot of risks, he also did not know how long this "road" could be opened, in case the "road" was too short, then he delayed these three days, but it would cost people's lives, the emperor could not receive the money, not to mention, but also blocked the way of the salt merchants, ruining the emperor's future events, but he also had to take this risk, the money, must be recovered.

"I understand, thank you for your care." Liang Xianke, a disciple of the Liang family, immediately said with a radiant spirit.

"Little Xuanzi......" shouted Grandpa Xi.

"The little ones are here." A little eunuch replied. Seeing that Grandpa Xi beckoned to him, he immediately ran to Grandpa Xi, and Grandpa Xi whispered a few words in front of him. He nodded repeatedly.

"Well, let's go, say hello to Brother Xu, and say that I've troubled him these days, the father and son of the Liang family, and ask him to take care of him more, our family still has to go to Xu Ge Lao's place......" Father-in-law Xi finished whispering, and then ordered, this sentence was also said to Liang Xianke, the son of the Liang family.

"The little one understands." The little eunuch agreed with a smile, and led Liang Xianke of the Liang family away, when Liang Xianke was in the house, he still looked calm and relaxed, and when he arrived outside, he immediately looked sad, as if his family was completely finished, and he was crying.

Father-in-law Xi saw that this kid's acting was quite like a thing, and smiled slightly, this kid, when the emperor's salt merchant is over in the future, maybe he is also a talent that can be cultivated, he laughed once, and immediately went out seriously, he still has to go to Xu Guangqi to ventilate, if he doesn't ventilate Xu Guangqi, for fear of misunderstanding, it will be bad.

……

The fact that the father and son of the Liang family were imprisoned by Jinyiwei set off a big * among the salt merchants in Nanjing, and some salt merchants who were already hesitant were even more hesitant, should they take this road? This is also too dangerous, right, all donated their family wealth, and went to prison? Don't you say it's a way to live at all?

Many salt merchants hesitated, but Jinyiwei did his best to confiscate the Liang family's wealth, even those who were swept away before, they were taken care of by Jinyiwei, and basically there was no escape, and even some officials who received the Liang family's money were afraid of Jinyiwei's "stormy" attitude, so frightened that they returned the silver from the Liang family again and again, to show that they had nothing to do with the Liang family.

This also makes many salt merchants more anxious, this time the Liang family is so stormy, and the previous "warm vein" is completely different, does it mean that the salt merchant case has reached the final stage? Is this way going to be closed? Who's next?

When many salt merchants thought of this, they were even more panicked and scurried around.

The Liang family, a salt merchant, was even more shocked, Jin Yiwei's way of "restoring" the previous style of doing things, made his family feel the pressure, and sent the letter to the capital for verification, and it would take a few days to wait for the reply letter, but now Jin Yiwei's style is really scary, God knows who the next one is? In case Jin Yiwei is imprisoned, it will be over, even if there is a "relationship" in Beijing, I am afraid that it will have to be peeled off.

Jin Yiwei's "crazy" case handling the unexpected effect, but also Xi Gonggong did not expect, he was worried that Jin Yiwei was too big, scared some people, scared everyone did not dare to take this road, but did not expect, Jin Yiwei "recovered" his true colors, the effect of beating rabbits with grass is much better, there are a few small salt merchants are really tormented, frightened, the next day of the Liang family, he ran to him to donate ......family wealth, this unexpected thing, so that Xi Gonggong is a little happy, but not happy, these are two small salt merchants, add up, However, the family wealth of more than 100,000 taels is not enough compared with those big salt merchants. Of course, it's not all unhappy, at least the Liang family's wealth has recovered a lot of ......,
