Catching thieves and scratching dirty, the rice grain in front of him is piled up, which is enough to prove that Ji Shengchang is hoarding goods and manipulating the price of rice.

Chen Tianxiao didn't say a word, and ordered his Jinyi guards to seal up the Jishengchang grain store, and no one in the store was allowed to leave.

At the same time, he ordered someone to report what he had obtained here to the commander Zhao Xin, and asked him to immediately send someone to the Shen Mansion to get people.

Jinyi Wei is not only very important to Chen Tianxiao, but also to the commander Zhao Xin Zhao.

With this great achievement, Jinyiwei was able to overtake the East Factory and the Inner Factory in a short period of time, and became the first choice of His Majesty the Emperor.

After this incident, Chen Tianxiao felt that he could at least be promoted to one hundred households. No! It's a thousand households.

The thought of this made his blood boil.

Every bag of rice in the cellar is evidence of the Shen family's father and son's manipulation of grain prices, and it is not an exaggeration to exterminate the Shen family.

Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.

It doesn't matter if you want to get rich, but it is an unforgivable sin to make a fortune.

At this moment, Shen Zhong hurried back.

As soon as he entered the shop and wanted to sit down, several wolf-like Jinyi guards stepped forward and scolded: "Didn't you see Jinyiwei handling the case, don't come to buy food today!" ”

A young man who was cowering in a corner hurriedly shouted: "Master Jun, this is our big shopkeeper of Ji Shengchang!" ”

Shen Zhongxin said that he was about to run away, but a brocade-clothed guard captain covered in tendons and flesh pounced and crushed him to the ground.

"Damn, I was almost cheated by this guy."

He took the rope from Pao Ze's hand and tied Shen Zhong tightly, and said with a snort: "There is no business or treachery, a certain family believes it today." You profiteers dare to manipulate even the price of grain, do you still have a trace of humanity? ”

Shen Zhong smiled bitterly: "I'm just following orders..."

"Hmph, don't talk nonsense, if you have anything to say, go to my family's chief banner!"

"Time is also fate, time is also fate!"

Shen Zhong let out a long sigh and closed his eyes.

......

......

"On the Holy Gift, all the old and young members of the Shen family have been imprisoned, and Ji Shengchang's men are also arrested, waiting for the Holy Lord's fate."

The commander of the Jinyi guard made Zhao Xin kneel on the ground and respectfully saluted Zhu Cihong.

This time, Jinyiwei cracked the case of raising grain prices before the east factory and the inner factory, which made him overjoyed.

Although the factory guard is a family, who doesn't have their own selfishness?

If you want to become the sharpest knife in the hands of the Son of Heaven, you must first gain the trust of the Son of Heaven.

Zhao Xin believed that after this incident, Jinyiwei's status in the heart of the Son of Heaven was a few points higher than that of the East Factory and the Inner Factory.

Zhu Cihong tapped his fingers lightly, and his face was grim.

This case was handled neatly and neatly, and even a little unexpected to him.

It seems that the introduction of the competition mechanism is conducive to improving work efficiency.

For the Shen family father and son, Zhu Cihong will not have any sympathy.

This kind of person has no concept of right and wrong, and only has the selfish interests of his own family and surname in his heart.

"Intended. Shen Sanguan, Shen Kuo, and Shen Zhong hoarded goods, raised the price of grain, and ordered the Criminal Department to immediately behead them if they were found to be in the right place. All the men of the Shen Mansion were exiled to Yazhou, and the female dependents were filled into the Department of Education. All the property of the Shen family was confiscated and put into the inner warehouse. Although the people of Ji Shengchang are not the first evil, they are abusing the tiger, and each person is punished with forty rods to set an example. ”

Zhao Xin hesitated for a moment and said, "The guy who provided the clues also has to be punished?" ”

Zhu Cihong said lightly: "Meritorious work is merit, and passing is excessive." He provided clues to this case, and the reward would not be less than his. But if he is not punished, where will the law of the land be placed? ”

"Holy Wisdom!"

Zhao Xin hurriedly slapped a sycophant.

"Zhao Qing has done a good job in this matter, and I am very relieved."

Zhu Cihong praised Zhao Xin a few words, raised his hand and said, "Flatten." ”

Zhao Xin hurriedly stood up and said respectfully: "All this is the work of Your Majesty's decision-making, and the minister does not dare to take credit." ”

"Let's go with me."

Zhu Cihong put his hands behind his back and walked towards the outside of the hall.

"What kind of emperor does Zhao Qing think I am?"

Zhu Cihong walked to the platform, patted a white marble railing and suddenly asked.

Zhao Xin was taken aback, how did he answer this question?

"Your Majesty is naturally the hero of Zhongxing Daming."

After thinking about it again and again, Zhao Xin had to give the most secure answer.

"Naturally, I want to be the master of ZTE. But there were hundreds of civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty, and how many of them worked together with me to support the Ming Dynasty? ”

Zhu Cihong thought of the rebellion conspired between the Donglin Party and the Xunchen not long ago, and suddenly sighed with emotion.

"Kuang Fu Daming is not something I can do if I want to do it alone, it requires the unity of the monarch and the minister."

Zhao Xin's forehead was already oozing with sweat, and he said in his heart, why did His Majesty suddenly say this.

"The Shen family's manipulation of rice prices is by no means so simple."

Zhu Cihong said unhurriedly: "I think that they have internal responses in the court, so they can grasp the timing and heat just right. If it weren't for the fact that I had prepared a batch of food stocks in advance for emergencies, I am afraid that a large number of people in Nanjing would have starved to death this time. ”

He paused for a moment and continued; "But from this, it can at least be concluded that this is not the inner court but the outer court. I want Zhao Qing to help me find out who this person is! ”

Zhu Cihong trusted Zhao Xin so excitedly, and clasped his fists with both hands and said, "The minister's order!" ”

......

Shandong, Texas.

Half a month ago, Xiao Huangmen arrived in Texas, read the decree in public at the General Military Mansion, and praised the Texas soldiers on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

Hundreds of craftsmen were also present with the Little Yellow Gate.

These craftsmen were basically masons and stonemasons, in order to build a number of fortresses on the outskirts of Texas City.

In this regard, Qin Gongming naturally would not have any opinions.

As early as when Sun Chengzong was in charge of Liaozhen, he had a strategy of building fortresses to defend against the eastern captives. Although this strategy did not compress the eastern captives in the corner of Liaodong in the end, it also had a certain effect.

If there can be a group of fortresses on the periphery of Texas, it will inevitably slow down the advance of the Eastern Captives, which is beneficial to Qin Gongming and the Ming army of Texas.

The most important thing is that this money does not need to be raised by Qin Gongming himself, but is directly allocated by the imperial court.

With such a good thing on the stall, how could Qin Gongming say a word.

All he had to do was to send some auxiliaries and Minzhuang to build the fortress with the craftsmen from Nanjing.

But when half a month passed, Qin Gongming was stunned.

This, how is this fortress shape so strange!

Even the stone village of Sichuan Tusi is not as strange as the appearance of the fortress.

Qin Gongming really couldn't hold his breath, and took his own soldiers out of the city and ran towards the fortress group under construction.

After arriving at the scene, Qin Gongming immediately waved his horsewhip and asked the person in charge of building the fortress what was going on.

Knowing that the shape and structure of the fortress was completely drawn by the Son of Heaven, Qin Gongming was silent.

He was not a domineering warlord, but a loyal courtier.

Since it was the Son of Heaven who wanted to build the fortress like this, he naturally couldn't object.

But can such a fortress group really be able to hold back the cavalry of the Eastern Captives? Qin Gongming was worried.
