Chapter 21: Find Me Money
Wang Yue and Zhu Houxi are like two curious babies who have discovered a treasure, head to head, researching new gadgets.
First of all, the two soybean grains are still wrapped in a layer of wax, and after being crushed, the contents are smaller, and after careful unfolding, they are only the length of the little finger, and the width is less than one-third of the little finger.
It's just a small note, densely packed with tadpole-like black spots.
Zhu Houxi's eyes widened, and he couldn't see what was written on it.
"Xiao Fugui, how did you get this thing, it's really ingenious!"
Wang Yue sighed twice, "Your Majesty, I heard that in order to cheat in the imperial examination, someone can carve an entire Analect with one hundred and ten grains of rice!" ”
"Ahh
Zhu Houxi was frightened, he really hadn't heard of this.
"Is it a miniature sculpture? There seem to be miniature carved treasures in the palace, I should have seen them. Zhu Houxi thought for a while, but soon had a question, "Even if there are skilled craftsmen who can carve it out, what do you think of the exam?" ”
"It's not easy!"
Wang Yue smiled and took out the medicinal jade on his waist!
After he was promoted to the fifth rank official, the set of clothes from the ninth rank was thrown aside.
However, the almost transparent medicinal jade, which can reflect the technical level of the Ming Dynasty, was carried by Wang Yue closely, and he originally planned to have the opportunity and think about a way to make money.
Isn't this a five-grade official, for the time being, it is estimated that he will not be promoted, and if the official position is not playful, then he will get rich. Wealth, wealth, is to walk on two legs, both rich and expensive, all-round development!
Wang Yue's plan for his life is still very vulgar, after all, judging from the current situation, he has nothing else to do except help Zhu Houxi stabilize the throne.
Although this matter is already troublesome...... Wang Yue was thinking wildly, but Zhu Houxi couldn't wait to snatch the medicine jade, and under Wang Yue's guidance, he went to observe the note through the medicine jade.
In an instant, Zhu Houxi exclaimed.
"Big! It's getting bigger! Fugui, how do you know? Zhu Houxi's eyes widened in surprise, he looked through the medicinal jade, checked the words on it, and only halfway through it, the little emperor shouted again!
"What a big bold!"
This time, he didn't care about the miracle of Yaoyu's enlarged text, but was shocked by the content on it.
It's really shocking, I can't help but be surprised!
"Fugui, go and see!"
Wang Yue agreed, turned around, and made sure that the little eunuch and the little palace maid were twenty steps away, and then came back and watched with Zhu Houxi.
Jiang Bin knocked out two teeth, leaving behind two crucial things.
First, after Zhu Houzhao fell into the water last year, he did get sick.
At first I thought it was just a shock and it would be easy to recover.
But strange things happened, the more the doctor treated, the more serious the illness became, and later, Zhu Houzhao even vomited blood, fell into a coma, and even broke the news that he was going to die.
Jiang Bin is stupid, Zhu Houzhao's health is not good, he was often sick when he was a child, and his father Zhu Youzhu only lived to be in his thirties, but in any case, Jiang Bin didn't believe that Zhu Houzhao would die.
After all, the righteous and virtuous son in his mind is the fierce man who commanded tens of thousands of horses and personally raised his sword to kill!
Telling him that Zhengde is going to die, it's a joke!
Jiang Bin felt that the problem was the imperial doctor, who was incompetent, so he hired a famous doctor with a lot of money, and then communicated with the celebrant and prepared to take the famous doctor outside to take care of Zhu Hou.
However, he was stopped by Yang Tinghe, the first assistant, who told him that the folk doctors were good and bad, how could they be easily brought into the palace? You can't even give your majesty medical treatment, in case the dragon body is damaged, who can afford to pay the responsibility?
Jiang Bin is crazy, what responsibility?
People are going to die?
The worst outcome is just death, shouldn't a dead horse be a live horse doctor at this time?
He foamed at the mouth and insisted on going to see Zhu Houzhao and treat His Majesty.
It's just that at this time, the celebrant also stood up to obstruct it,
Jiang Bin was angry, and a group of eunuchs dared to stop him, he raised his fist and beat people, but at this time, Empress Dowager Zhang's hand came, saying that His Majesty was recuperating from illness, for fear of disturbing, except for the cabinet and the celebrant supervisor, others were not allowed to disturb.
Jiang Bin was completely blocked out of the palace gate, it was still the month of Layue, and when the New Year turned around, in March, the Son of Heaven died.
In fact, since Zhu Houzhao was seriously ill, Yang Tinghe has already taken over the power.
He had the final say not for more than a month, but for nearly half a year!
For such a long time, from the inside out, from top to bottom, how many henchmen Yang Tinghe has planted, I am afraid that only he knows.
No wonder Yang Ge dared to give the new monarch a horse!
The people are really well prepared.
Wang Yue and Zhu Houxi looked at each other, and both of them had a chilling feeling. Their opponents, it's terrible!
This is the first note left by Jiang Bin, and the second is about himself.
After Zhu Houzhao's death, Jiang Bin was deceived into the palace, was quickly taken down, and his home was raided, and he obtained 70 cabinets of gold, 1,500 taels each, 2,200 cabinets of silver, 1,500 boxes of gold, silver and miscellaneous jewelry, and other treasures are innumerable.
According to this, Yang Tinghe convicted Jiang Bin of conspiracy and embezzlement of huge sums of money, and was ready to wait for the new monarch's verdict to directly cut him with a thousand knives, so that he could enjoy the treatment of Liu Jin at the beginning.
But in the note, Jiang Bin bluntly said that the gold and silver treasures in his family were not his, but from Qian Ning, the commander of Jinyiwei!
This Qian Ning is still Jiang Bin's benefactor, and it was he who recommended Jiang Bin to Zhu Houzhao.
It's just that Jiang Bin's methods are more powerful than Qian Ning, and he can get the emperor's favor more, and gradually Jiang Bin climbs on Qian Ning's head.
At this time, King Ning's rebellion occurred, and after investigation, Qian Ning provided information to King Ning and colluded with each other.
Zhu Houzhao was furious, took down Qian Ning, and confiscated Qian Ning's home. Obtaining 2,500 bundles of jade belts, more than 100,000 taels of gold, 3,000 boxes of platinum, and even thousands of stones of pepper, this product is really greedy.
Qian Ning's family property was not handed over to the treasury or sent to the treasury, but was given to Jiang Bin by Zhu Houzhao to use it for military training and to pay for parade expenses......
Jiang Bin left these two notes and explained his matter clearly.
Yang Tinghe said that he wanted to rebel, but in Jiang Bin's confession, Yang Tinghe was the murderer who could kill the Son of Heaven!
As for the greed for ink, it is even more of a sin created out of nothing.
Zhu Houxi glanced at Wang Yue, and the two of them rummaged through the information and roughly checked it, indeed, the seizure of Qian Ning and Jiang Bin's family property was highly overlapping.
Maybe there are some small discrepancies, but Jiang Bin also spent it.
"The amount of gold and silver is almost the same, either Jiang Bin and Qian Ning happened to embezzle the same amount of money, or what Jiang Bin said is true, he was wronged!"
Wang Yue said in a low voice.
Zhu Houxi smiled angrily, "Anything can be a coincidence this year!" Two big corrupt officials can still be greedy for the same amount of ink, and they really treat me as a child! ”
Zhu Houxi has already believed eighty percent, "It seems that Jiang Bin is most wronged, he ...... He's dead? ”
"Dead!"
Wang Yue said helplessly, Jiang Bin is also the commander of tens of thousands of horses, and the soldiers can be killed but not humiliated.
He fell into the hands of Yang Tinghe, deaf and dumb, unable to speak, worse than a ghost. If it were someone else, it is estimated that he would have died a long time ago. He still holds his breath, it's not that he's greedy for life and afraid of death, but that he has bones!
Reluctant to bring the secret to the coffin!
Wang Yue deliberately went crazy in the edict prison, forced the cell boss to find the imperial doctor, scolded the jailer, and drove them all out.
He took advantage of this time to go to Jiang Bin, write on the ground, and tell his intention.
After Jiang Bin confirmed his identity, he pulled out two teeth with difficulty and threw them to Wang Yue.
Then write two words with the fingers of the broken bones ear: poison!
He has nothing left, and the worst result is there, just to destroy the Nine Clans.
Instead, he gave the evidence to Wang Yue, maybe he could get a glimmer of hope, and the last obsession was gone, and he was still happy. And Wang Yue couldn't bear Jiang Bin to continue to suffer, after all, he was a man who had shed blood for the sake of Daming!
"Jiang Bin is using his life to tell us that he is telling the truth!"
Zhu Houxi's face darkened, now he has great sympathy for those who dare to argue with Yang Tinghe, Jiang Bin is also a loyal and brave man, at least his cousin Zhu Houzhao is not wrong!
Wang Yue is a little more complicated than Zhu Houxi, he feels that Jiang Bin may not be innocent, after all, in reality, the opposite of bad is worse. However, Jiang Bin did provide them with an entry point to break the game......
"Little Fugui, what do you say to do? Is it the death of Emperor Cha Xian, or is it something else? ”
Wang Yue said with a smile: "Your Majesty has the master." Directly investigating the death of the first emperor, the movement is too big, and nothing can be found out just by relying on Jiang Bin's guess. It's better to start with Jiang Bin and Qian Ning's family property and see where the money goes! ”
Zhu Houxi stroked his palms and laughed, Xiao Fugui knew his mind more and more.
"You find out the money, and I will divide you in 10%!" Zhu Houxi said generously.
