Chapter 196: Knocking on the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger

After a while, Tobe's right attendant finally arrived.

He was wearing an ordinary jacket with a round neck and a blue shirt, a little short and a thin face, but his eyes were as sharp as a cone.

When the people in the flower hall saw Zhu Zanlai, they all stood up and bowed their hands to him.

The court has the rules of the court, don't look at a squire, it seems that the official title is not so big that it makes people awe-inspired. However, the right servant of the household department is in charge of the world's finances, and he is specifically concerned about the income and expenditure and lending of various places, and this status is different. Zhu Zan was about forty years old, sat on the chair, put his hands on his knees, smiled at everyone, and then said: "Things have come to this point, it's really unexpected. ”

He speaks a smooth Beijing dialect, which is very beautiful.

Between gestures, Zhu Zan also has an elegant posture, he is a member of Beijing, in other words, in this Ming Dynasty, there are really not many people who have made a name for themselves in the Beijing Division, as a native of Jinshi, Zhu Zan has won the favor of Li Dongyang, Li Dongyang Huguangren, but he has been sent to Beijing a long time ago, and the two are half of the same countrymen, plus this Zhu Zan is Li Dongyang's protΓ©gΓ©, so he is very popular.

Zhu Zan smiled slightly, and continued: "Not to mention that you have suffered huge losses, in fact, it is the old man's Heyuan Commercial Bank, and now it is also suffering heavy losses, and there are still a batch of posture weapons in this commercial house, worth tens of thousands, but now it is difficult to get rid of it." ”

Zhu Zan's face was already a little cold, in fact, tens of thousands of goods are nothing, the big deal is to clear the warehouse at a cheap price, his two brothers are used to doing business in the Jingshi, how much more than these tens of thousands of wealth accumulated over the years?

It's just that the loss is small, but the business of this Heyuan Commercial Bank has plummeted since the opening of Jubaolou, and hundreds of people in the Zhu family have a total of seven rooms and more than a dozen branches, plus the usual entertainment, this money is spent like flowing water, once this business can't be done, it will have to be discounted, what does Zhu Zan eat with that little money?

After listening to Zhu Zan's words, everyone opened the chatterbox, and naturally poured bitter water, these people all have families who have some business in Beijing, and the business was originally prosperous, but now it is a lot of Xianghong. Hoarding is what these people are good at, but now with the crazy increase in trading volume, the goods hoarded in the warehouse have become a hot potato at this time, and even some people who hoard more goods are afraid that they will even lose their families.

Speaking of which, I can only blame that treasure building, if it weren't for it, how would it be here today? Originally, everyone ate fragrant and spicy food, but after only a few days, it was reduced to the point of eating bran vegetables.

Someone couldn't help but say excitedly: "Jubaolou misleads the country and the people, disturbs people's hearts, it's really damn that I have long heard that Liu Chengfeng, the owner of Jubaolou, is not a good thing, he is a small hundred households, and he dares to speak out and give a rating to the businessman, but he has no empty text but receives a large amount of businessman's benefits, such a person can be punished, everyone, so far, we can take Zhu's head as the leader, Zhu's lord, you say a good word, what should we do now?" ”

Everyone said: "Master Zhu thinks of a way, everyone just does it." ”

Zhu Zan, who was sitting on the chair, sneered, how could he not understand? Although these people say that they think they are the first to look forward, in fact, they want to come out of this way.

He calmly played with a piece of jade in his hand, and said slowly: "Liu Chengfeng is not to be underestimated, but it is not impossible to deal with him. The old man heard that Liu Chengfeng had been planning to recruit strong men before, and it was said that more than 800 people had been recruited near the outskirts of Beijing, but a small 100 households had privately allocated nearly 1,000 people to become his Liu Chengfeng's private soldiers. Regardless of whether His Majesty nods his head or not, how can we, as courtiers, be indifferent? So ......"

Zhu Zan glanced at everyone, his eyes shone with an elusive coldness, and said: "Impeachment, impeachment is indispensable, the matter of eating the king's fortune and loyalty to the king, tonight we will contact the good people to impeach, and let Liu Chengfeng know that this Jingshi has a place where the king's law is." ”

Zhu Zan's words are of course confusing, but now everyone is discussing Jubaolou, what are you doing when you have nothing to do with the recruitment of hundreds of households? Besides, if people dare to recruit with great fanfare, there must be a nod from the Beizhen Mansion or the palace, so why do you need to touch this mold?

But some people understood something and showed a thoughtful expression.

To move the Jubao Building, the most feared thing is three people, one is Liu Chengfeng, and the other two are Shou Ninghou and Jian Changbo. At this time, the impeachment in the name of Liu Chengfeng's private soldiers will inevitably cause a big discussion in the entire imperial court, that is, the emperor and the cabinet must pay attention to this matter.

And Liu Chengfeng will also be pushed to the cusp, on the cusp, if someone moves the treasure building, does Liu Chengfeng dare to make any moves?

Many people began to close their eyes and think deeply, asking themselves, if they were in this critical period, they would never dare to make any changes, once they made a move, it would inevitably lead to greater condemnation, Liu Chengfeng, in the final analysis, is just a hundred households, involved in the accumulation of private soldiers, if he dares to make any big moves, he is not afraid of the cabinet's wrath? Aren't you afraid of the anger of civil and military officials?

If you move, you'll die.

Many people already had smiles on their faces, but the sound of this hand was wonderful.

Zhu Zan just smiled faintly, he was able to enter the household department and become one of the few giants in the household department, Zhu Zan had experienced countless ups and downs in the sea of eunuchs, and had already cultivated an indifferent temperament, and then frowned slightly and said: "The most important thing is that this Shou Ning Hou and Jian Chang Bo, if these two come out to interfere, things will become more and more tricky, so they must not be allowed to interfere, but if Shou Ninghou and Jian Changbo are impeached, it will inevitably offend the queen mother, and even anger the palace, what do you think should be done?" ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, but when someone looked up at Zhu Zan, they found that Zhu Zan looked like he was in his chest, and he already understood in his heart that this Zhu Shilang was afraid that he had already made up his mind, so he said: "Your Majesty is ignorant, please give me an idea." ”

Zhu Zan sighed, and then said slowly: "Actually, this matter is difficult to say, easy to say, easy to say, to make the Zhang family brothers not speak, but also to use the method of impeachment." ”

Many people can't help but think: Impeachment of the uncle? Didn't you say that it would anger Queen Zhang and the palace?

Zhu Zan smiled slightly and said, "It's just that we are not impeaching Uncle Guo, but the eunuch Xiao Jingxiao's father-in-law." ”

Everyone couldn't help but take a breath, who is this Bingbi eunuch Xiao Jing? Although they are not subordinate to each other, this person is not a character that can be easily provoked, but then again, others dare not provoke, Zhu Zan may not dare to provoke, Zhu Zan is at least supported by Li Dongyang behind him, no matter how Xiao Jing is, what can he do?

"It's just that I don't know what the adults are doing to impeach Xiao Jing?"

Zhu Zan sighed and said, "Do you remember that three years ago, the two uncles occupied an area on the outskirts of Beijing, and this matter was finally learned by Gonggong Xiao, and he severely punished Shou Ninghou and Jian Changbo?" ”

When everyone heard this, they remembered that this incident caused a sensation for a while! At that time, Empress Zhang's younger brothers, Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning, and Zhang Yanling, the Bo of Jianchang, both took advantage of the emperor's favor to connive at domestic slaves to violate laws and disciplines, collect money, and occupy fields in the suburbs of Beijing, and were impeached by many officials inside and outside the court, but the emperor did not pursue them. However, when the case fell into the hands of Xiao Jing, he sentenced him in accordance with the law, returned the encroached land without a little leniency, and rectified the evil slaves of the Zhang family.

Because of this matter, many courtiers changed their attitude towards Xiao Jing, saying that he was fair and strict.

Zhu Zan smiled slightly, saw everyone's puzzled looks, and said lightly: "We wrote to impeach Xiao Jing for favoritism and fraud in the case of Shouninghou and Jianchangbo, and the two uncles actually did not condone the lawlessness of the domestic slaves, but Xiao Jing wanted to earn a clear name and deliberately planted false accusations to establish his prestige. ”

The people in the flower hall thought that they had heard it wrong, but someone finally came to their senses, and couldn't help but say: "What my lord means is that we are obviously impeaching Xiao Jing, and we will not offend Queen Zhang because of this, but secretly we are bringing up the old matter of a previous public case and attracting everyone's attention, so that not only Liu Chengfeng, but also the two uncles have also been pushed to the cusp, and the scars of the uncles have been taken out to talk about things, and their attention is ......" Zhu Zan smiled and said: "That's the truth." Who is Xiao Jing Xiao's father-in-law? Will you be wronged? Moreover, there are not a few ministers in this court who are convinced of Gonggong Xiao, but I am afraid that even a few ministers in the cabinet will have to say a few good words for Gonggong Xiao at this time. But saying the good words of Gonggong Xiao is equivalent to blaming Shou Ning Hou and Jian Changbo, this Shou Ning Hou and Jian Changbo will be embattled by then, let's draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, what can they do if they have the ability to pass through the sky? ”

Many people were bubbling with cold air between their teeth, this hand was too clever, and Lord Zhu's scheming was inevitably too deep.

Akari is to stand up for the uncle of the country and say good things for the queen's younger brother. Whether it is the queen or the uncle, although they may not be grateful, at least they will not blame.

But this is the beginning, then it will inevitably cause Xiao Jing's backlash, who is Xiao Jing? How can you swallow this breath? And if Xiao Jing wants to rebound, he is bound to confirm Uncle Guo's crimes. And many clear streams in the DPRK and China will also arouse great indignation at this time, and the sound of attacking the uncle will definitely be heard endlessly.

To stand out for the uncle of the country is to put the uncle on the tip and let others barbecue.

What's more, when Xiao Jing wants to fight Uncle Guo, he will inevitably instruct the officials to look for evidence of Uncle Guo's illegality in recent years.

It's just that who should be on this recital? After all, overturning the case for Uncle Guo is a matter that is spurned.

Everyone, look at me, I'll look at you, but Zhu Zan smiled slightly and said, "Candidate, the old man already has it, the old man has a protΓ©gΓ©, two years ago, due to a shortfall, he was released to the Nanjing Criminal Department, he is the most suitable candidate." ”

Released to Nanjing, it is almost equivalent to having no future in the official career, and it is useful to let such a person come to the book.

Everyone couldn't help laughing out loud, and they all said, "My lord is smart." ”

Zhu Zan smiled slightly: "It's up to you next, Shuntianfu, call someone to open up the joints, release the messengers, and specifically attack those merchants who trade in the treasure building, and let those merchants who trade in the treasure building know that they are discussing in the treasure building, even if they do business, don't think about it, get into a lawsuit, and let his family die." ”

Everyone was in high spirits, and they all said: "Shuntian Mansion Yin is his own person, as long as he is willing to assist, this matter is not easy to capture?" ”

Speaking of this, everyone has breathed a sigh of relief, Zhu Zan's method is indeed foolproof, on the one hand, to contain Liu Chengfeng and Uncle Guo, on the other hand, Shuntianfu kills chickens and monkeys, so that those businessmen who trade in the treasure building know that it is powerful, at that time, even if the treasure building is attractive, who would dare to have anything to do with the treasure building?

Zhu Zan lowered his head, took a sip of tea, then smiled slightly, and said, "Okay, that's all for today, everyone, let's disperse." Everyone prepares, and tomorrow will start to have fun. ”
