I heard him answer Liu Zongzhou, "Of the eight Jin merchants, only one has been arrested now." If the news is announced at this time, it will inevitably startle the snake. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Mingwei said hatefully, "The rise of Jianyu, these Jin merchants have made great contributions. To a certain extent, the Ming Dynasty fell into the situation of the beacons everywhere in front of him, and the Ming soldiers and people died I don't know how many, they are direct or indirect accomplices. If you don't arrest them all, and don't exterminate them, then I'm really sorry for my trip to Daming! ”

"Come to Daming?" When Liu Zongzhou heard this, he was taken aback, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Could it be that Cheng Guogong is not a Ming Dynasty?" ”

As he spoke, his face was full of suspicion, and he looked Zhang Mingwei up and down, wanting to see if it was different from the Ming people?

When Zhang Mingwei was asked by him, he knew that he had leaked his mouth, so he immediately explained, "I mean, what it means to come to this world for a trip." ”

"A trip to this world?" When Liu Zongzhou heard this, he couldn't help but repeat with a little doubt.

Before, he suspected that Zhang Mingwei was from overseas. This time, he didn't know why, he felt a little like Zhang Mingwei was from heaven?

Seeing him like this, Zhang Mingwei couldn't help but be a little speechless, and simply changed the topic and said, "The news can't be announced immediately, but we can't let this situation continue in Jingshi." Not to mention the money of those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, even other rich and noble families, they can't transfer all their money to other places, so what should I do on the Jingshi side, right? ”

Who knew that Liu Zongzhou was suspicious, but he didn't answer his words, but said seriously, "Guogong, the lower officials really don't know, I don't know where Guogong is from?" ”

"......" Zhang Mingwei couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard it. You old man, what are you doing to ask me where I came from, could it be that you have some granddaughter or something?

He didn't want to talk about this topic, so he said to Liu Zongzhou, "Of course I'm not an ordinary person!" As for the origin, the emperor knows, the prince knows, and the eunuch Wang Gonggong also knows. If you have to hold on to my origins, you can ask the emperor! ”

Ask the emperor, Liu Zongzhou will not ask. Because what the emperor wants to say, he has already said.

He looked at Zhang Mingwei suspiciously again, and guessed with a little uncertainty: "Could it be that Guogong is from some hidden family?" ”

Zhang Mingwei is really speechless, this bad old man, should he really have a granddaughter to marry and come to check the household registration?

He didn't have time to accompany him to talk about this, so he stood up, turned around and prepared to go to the back office.

Seeing this situation, Liu Zongzhou couldn't help laughing, as if he had won a battle, and hurriedly stopped Zhang Mingwei and said, "Guogong, the lower official is wrong, the lower official is wrong." ”

Hearing him admit his mistake, Zhang Mingwei stood up and turned to look at him.

When Liu Zongzhou saw it, he smiled again and said, "Actually, Guogong's temper is quite good. Some people outside say that the national prince will raid his house at every turn, which is really unreasonable! ”

"That's it?" Zhang Mingwei was a little speechless when he heard this, and couldn't help but say to him, "You are a lot older, don't you know that treating like-minded people should be as warm as spring; Do you have to treat the enemy like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves? ”

"......" This time, it was Liu Zongzhou's turn to be a little dumbfounded, not to mention, he was a lot older, but this was the first time he heard of it.

When he came back to his senses, he finally showed a serious look, and said with a little worry, "Guogong, we won't talk about other things." Now that the situation in the capital is in the capital, Guogong will see if he can find a way to stabilize the situation? ”

After a pause at this point, he added, "As soon as the situation on the Jingshi's side happened, the emperor's side already knew about it. Summoned a few of us to discuss, but we couldn't come up with a solution. Therefore, Xia Guan rushed over to Guogong's side to see if there was a way to solve it? ”

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that it is better to believe what is there than what is not.

Now that this rumor of the Jingshi is together, it is very likely that those rich families will start to transfer their family wealth no matter what happens to the imperial court, at least some of it.

This situation, in the peaceful years, did not matter much. But in these troubled times, it will only have a negative impact on the situation.

Liu Zongzhou and a few others discussed for a long time, but they couldn't come up with a way to reverse the situation.

Therefore, at this time, after Liu Zongzhou finished speaking, although he looked at Zhang Mingwei, he didn't have much hope!

But who knows, after Zhang Mingwei lowered his head and pondered for a while, he raised his head and looked at Liu Zongzhou and said, "Seal the city, and the Jingshi will be under martial law, so that this situation can be stopped." ”

"What?" When Liu Zong heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "There is no danger in Jingshi, why should there be martial law?" ”

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he couldn't help but remind him, "Don't forget, isn't there a group of thieves, known as 200,000?" has entered Hebei and came in the direction of Jingshi. Let's just say that this group of thieves may want to attack Jingshi, in order to prevent the thieves from sending people to infiltrate Jingshi in advance, in order to ensure the safety of Jingshi, isn't martial law a logical thing? ”

When Liu Zong heard this, his eyes lit up.

There is indeed such a group of thieves, and I had a headache when I was discussing matters before, mainly because there are not many troops in the hands of the imperial court. There must be no problem with guarding the Jingshi, but it is difficult to stop this group of thieves from wandering in the land of Gyeonggi, and it is likely that the edict of the king will be issued. I have to say that this is another blow to the prestige of the imperial court.

Thinking so, Liu Zongzhou nodded and said solemnly, "This reason is indeed possible." However, when was martial law in Jingshi? It can't be martial law forever! ”

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he immediately replied to him, "If the Jingshi is under martial law and the city is closed, the leakage of news can be stopped." Then, I will appeal to the emperor and immediately mobilize troops to rush to various places to uproot the power of the Jin merchants. It just so happened that their money and food could be copied, which was enough for the imperial court to rectify the army and fight a big war with Li Zicheng's thief army, which is estimated to be too much! ”

Speaking of this, without waiting for Liu Zongzhou to ask, he continued, "In addition, taking advantage of the opportunity of the lockdown, I will also deal with other things by the way. Then, the news will be made public, and then it will guide public opinion, and it is estimated that it will be about the same! ”

"It seems that this is the only way to deal with it first!" Liu Zongzhou basically understood Xingguogong's thoughts, and after thinking about it carefully, he nodded and said, "In this case, without further ado, why don't we enter the palace together and ask the emperor for orders?" ”

Zhang Mingwei listened, nodded and said, "Okay, just show these confessions to the emperor." ”

So, the two prepared to enter the palace directly.

The captain of the brocade guard who sent the confession on the side never found a chance to speak. At this time, seeing the opportunity, he hurriedly reminded Zhang Mingwei, "Then Huang Yunfa also confessed a very appalling thing, I don't know if Guogong can see it?" ”

In fact, when he asked this, he heard the conversation between Zhang Mingwei and Liu Zongzhou, and he didn't involve it at all, so he could only show that these two adults had missed that matter, so he hurriedly reminded him.

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. He didn't want to look at it, so he asked directly, "What is it?" ”

Liu Zongzhou on the side was also curious, and he also turned over his confession just now. However, when I saw the front, I found that the shocking sale of grain, grass and iron by Jin Shang was also ventilated, so I didn't continue to read it, thinking that the content behind it was all this.

So, he also turned his head to look at the captain of the brocade guard, and wondered what was the matter, and he actually used very appalling words to describe it?

I only heard this Jinyi guard lieutenant reply, "After Huang Yunfa finished confessing, he was forced to be questioned by his subordinates and others, so he confessed, and it was written at the end, which was about the eleventh year of Chongzhen, when Lu Benbing was still in the term of governor of Xuanda." ”

Then, he roughly talked about the situation, and when he heard that Liu Zongzhou immediately asked for the confession, he couldn't help but say hatefully after reading it with his own eyes, "Be bold, be bold!" ”

"Hehe, everything that is done can be done, how can they not do this kind of thing!" Zhang Mingwei sneered and said, "Pursue interests by unscrupulous means, do whatever you want for your own selfishness, these Jin merchants are one family, and there must be others." Hehe, just wait! ”

Saying this, he didn't linger any longer, and immediately entered the palace with Liu Zongzhou to face the saint.

………………

Not long after, Emperor Chongzhen also saw the confessions of Chen Xinjia and Huang Yunfa, especially the latter's confessions were even more detailed, and he couldn't help but be furious, and immediately said to Zhang Mingwei, "These things, I want to destroy their nine clans!" This matter will be left to Mr. with full authority to do, and what troops need to be mobilized, just play! ”

On the way to the palace, Zhang Mingwei had already thought about the abdomen, so he immediately played it right.

Not long after, the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division immediately went to the streets and alleys to impose martial law. The soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp were also dispatched to guard the city gates. And the factory guards also sent people to guard the door together. Without the emperor's decree or the warrant of the rejuvenation of the country, no one is allowed to enter or leave the capital.

All of a sudden, the Jingshi suddenly jumped up, and the carriages and horses that wanted to go out of the city with their belongings were all blocked back, and it was very chaotic for a while.

Subsequently, a large number of Jinyi Wei and Dongchang soldiers scattered out and seized the shops, residences and so on of the eight major Jin merchants in Beijing. Everyone, waiting, all caught.

The number of people was so large that the Jinyi Guard Prison could not be closed, and in the end, such prisoners were imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department.

In short, on this day, everyone was driven back to their homes, and then from time to time they heard the rumbling of hooves outside, the collision of armor, the footsteps of the soldiers, etc., as well as the voices of those shouting and reprimanding the prisoners, etc., which frightened many people to hide at home and pray to God and Buddha, not knowing what happened, and not to be found by the factory guards.

Especially those who have impeached Xingguo Gong before, and they almost peed their pants, regretting their deaths, why did they offend Xingguo Gong in the first place!

Although Zhang Mingwei did not personally participate in the raid, he was also busy for a day, and only returned to his house in the evening.

What surprised him a little was that Tian Guifei's father also went out to greet him tremblingly.
