Chapter 250: Aftermath

What has happened in the DPRK and China in the past few days also has an official explanation.

β€”β€”The crown prince was assassinated, His Majesty set up a Jinyi Wei to conduct a thorough investigation, and it was found that the Wen family was instructed to do it, and overnight, the Jin Yiwei copied the Wen family, but the instigator behind the scenes has not been found out.

The factory guards were tyrannical in the name of investigating the prince's case, and everyone in the court was in danger, and everyone could but did not want to be the 'behind-the-scenes mastermind'.

A huge amount of assets were copied from the Wen family, but for the hundred officials, the more His Majesty on the dragon chair became more and more assertive, which may not be a good thing for state affairs.

Between the undercurrents, many people's eyes also fell on the quasi-attached horse Wang Xiao, who had no official position but was deeply involved in this matter.

Many people want to come, after this night of raiding, there are still many hands to clean up, everyone is waiting to see Jinyiwei's next move, to see who else will be implicated next, and whose interests they want to swallow.

Also targeted are Qian Carrier, Bai Yizhang, Zhang Yongnian, Zuo Jinglun......

More than five million taels of silver went to the state treasury, and the Wen family's property was still being counted, and these things fell on Bai Yizhang, the household servant. No matter what the reason, Wang Xiao should find a way to win over his uncle.

Qian Chengyun was coerced and deceived by the Wen family to frame the prince and young master Lu Zhengchu, and was already convicted and imprisoned. However, the report was meritorious and righteous to kill relatives, and after weighing the merits and demerits, he was only demoted to a member of the household department. Such a position is actually quite worth pondering, and obviously, the money carrier saint is still there.

Zuo Jinglun and Zhang Yongnian, not to mention, a high cabinet, the more His Majesty relied on him, and his authority became heavier; One can detect hundreds of officials, and he is pervasive.

If Wang Xiao can weave this net, he may really be able to break the ancestral teachings of the Heavenly Family and become the only Chu Dynasty attached to power in two hundred years......

Surprisingly, Wang Xiao didn't get involved in these things more. He didn't go to see any of these important people.

After copying the Wen family, he seemed to be determined to withdraw from the government, and only went back and forth in the suburbs of Beijing every day, as if he was bent on taking care of his business in the bullshit industrial park.

"Where did Wang Xiao go today?"

"I still went to the suburbs of Beijing, saying that I wanted to help refugees and prevent the plague."

"Hmph, pretending to be and buying people's hearts."

β€”β€”Such conversations sometimes take place in several mansions in the capital......

Wang Xiao actually knew that many people sneaked behind him every day to find out his whereabouts.

But every time he saw the shadows behind him, he smiled bitterly in his heart.

These people probably think that they are preparing some kind of conspiracy, and they are planning to raid someone's house again.

It's a pity that these many pairs of eyes can only see the power and planning, and cannot see the hardships of the people's livelihood.

In fact, the situation in Gyeonggi is already very bad. A large number of yellow-faced and emaciated refugees flocked to the capital, huddled under the city walls in droves, shivering, and a large number of people starved, sick, and froze to death every day.

At the same time, the Beijing suburb industrial park is expanding at a rapid pace. Refugees were sheltered, the sick were isolated for observation, the healthy were given porridge, changed into clean clothes, and then sent to dig coal, open up wasteland, weave, and build houses...... Toilers came and went, and rows of houses were erected.

People speculate on how much silver the industrial park spends every day, and where it comes from.

Between life and death, conspiracy and desire are broken and blended again, converging into an undercurrent. And above the undercurrent, the vast majority of people are just numbly trying to survive.

Snowflakes are flying, and outside the majestic city walls, people from all directions are pouring in, some of them are lying in the snow, and some of the lucky ones are picking up a bowl of steaming porridge and taking a hot bath to start a new life. Everything was still rudimentary, but at least it survived.

Every now and then a hay-covered carriage would gallop into the wilderness in the middle of the night, after which a fire would light in the wilderness in the distance. Very few people know what that's going on......

In addition, food prices have been skyrocketing since the first snowfall.

Qin Xuance took 5,000 taels of silver to buy grain and open a shed to save porridge, and it was sold out in three days.

Seeing that the last bowl of porridge was taken away, and the long queue behind was disappointed on every face, Zuo Mingxin sighed a little at that time.

Seeing her like this, Qin Xuance rarely became a little anxious.

He came from a wealthy background and was accustomed to life and death, so he didn't care much about these people's livelihood and suffering, but now he follows Wang Xiao every day to care about the resettlement of refugees.

Although Wang Xiao didn't go to see Zuo Jinglun, he used Qin Xuance to contact Zuo Mingxin in secret.

A few days after raiding the house, Wang Xiao and Qin Xuance walked into the industrial park, talking as they walked.

"Zuo Jinglun agreed to lease us those fertile fields in the suburbs of Beijing, but he asked for a position of Jinyi Wei Tongzhi, the candidate was called Du Hezheng, who was originally from the Shenji Battalion." Qin Xuance said.

"Lease?" Wang Xiao was slightly surprised, "Didn't the court originally plan to sell?" ”

Qin Xuance nodded and said, "Originally, it was, but Zuo Jinglun wanted to clear the fields, and said that in the future, the official fields should not be sold, and they could only be rented to the poor for farming." ”

"He wants to restructure?"

Qin Xuance said: "Maybe, just let Mingxin pass on this sentence, will you give the position of Tongzhi?" ”

"Where did I do this kind of thing, the Lord?" Wang Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "He is an elder, isn't it simple to arrange a fellow acquaintance?" Just tell him that Zhang Yongnian will not object. ”

This is an exchange of interests that has been set a long time ago, and there is nothing to say for the time being.

Wang smiled and said: "You let Miss Zuo tell Duoduo again, and tell Qian Chengyun that she is optimistic about Bai Yizhang." ”

"The traitor looks at the corrupt officials, and you can figure it out." Qin Xuance said: "If you don't want the tail to follow you, I'll clear it for you, but can you pass the word like this?" ”

"Just stare at it, I want to see who wants to beat me."

The two talked, walked into the public room, and asked people to call Fu Qingzhu over.

Qin Xuance looked at the busy scene outside the window and said, "My five thousand taels took three days, how much silver do you have to spend a day in this industrial park?" Where did the money come from? ”

Wang Xiao smiled mysteriously and said, "I won't tell you." ”

Qin Xuance pursed his lips rather unpleasantly, he looked over, but saw that Lord Fu Qing was talking to an old man dressed as a scribe.

"Who's that old man?" Qin Xuance asked.

Wang smiled: "Wen is talented. The steward of the Wen family's business. ”

"You dare to use this kind of person...... Qin Xuance suddenly frowned, as if he had thought of something, looked around and lowered his voice and said: "I heard Wen Bojian say that he doesn't just have those silvers, should he really have other money?" Did you get it? ”

Wang Xiao blinked.

"Fuck you, you don't let others take His Majesty's money, but you take the most yourself." Qin Xuance was extremely angry, and asked softly, "How many?" ”

"I'm not telling you."

"You're not afraid that Your Majesty will know now?"

The king smiled and said, "Who dares to let Your Majesty know?" Do you think all this money belongs to the Wen family? ”

"Ha, is it the capital that those noble mansions put in the Wen family?" Qin Xuance said, laughing: "Epiphysis." ”
