Chapter 4 True and False Ginseng

The student is dressed up, don't look at him wearing the clothes of the student, in fact, he is just a child.

This person's name is Jiang Yuren. Originally, it was the shopkeeper of the Jiang family's silk village in Kaifeng City.

He himself is actually mediocre, and because the silk in the store is always shoddy, his reputation in Kaifeng City is not very good.

But this person's father has a sister who is as white as snow, graceful, and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

All relatives and friends who have met her say that they have never seen such a beauty.

So far, the fame has become more and more famous, and the people in Kaifeng City who have heard about it. There are also many people competing to please Jiang Yuren, and there are really a lot of people who come to his house to give a dowry in those years.

However, this Jiang family is also not lucky, this Jiang Yuren originally hoped to be able to let his sister enter the palace, and it would be good to be a concubine in the future, and he would be able to glorify his ancestors, and he couldn't say that he could get the title of a marquis and earl because he became a relative of the emperor.

There has been no draft girl in the current saint for several consecutive years, and if a woman does not marry at sixteen in this era, she will be considered an old girl.

This Jiang Yuren's abacus failed, but how could he want his sister to wait until the old man was yellow, and the daylily was cold at that time.

So he retreated and dedicated this girl to the prince of Zhou, that is, Zhu Shaochen's cheap father.

Since the sister entered the palace, he himself has also risen.

For a while, he also became a celebrity in Kaifeng City. In this Kaifeng City, the prince of Zhou is the biggest.

A few years ago, this Jiang's belly was angry again, and he gave birth to two sons in a row. In this royal palace, whoever gives birth to a child will be greatly credited.

At this time, the prince and the prince were all very happy, so they gave this person the position of treasurer ambassador, the biggest fat shortage in the palace.

Although this treasurer is an uninhabited official, now the various needs of more than 10,000 people in the palace also have to pass through this person's hands. At the end is a big real power faction in the palace.

The martial artist is dressed as Murong Shangwu, and his life experience is a long story.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the first generation of Zhou kings was called Zhu Hu, who was the younger brother of the Yongle Emperor's half-father. At that time, all vassal kings also had their own guards, and King Zhou was naturally no exception.

At that time, the vassal king had three guards, one guard had an army of 3,000 to 19,000 people, and the army of the three guards could reach tens of thousands.

At that time, the number of guards of the king of Zhou was small, but there were fourteen or five thousand people.

As we all know, Emperor Yongle himself used the vassal king's guard, and finally defeated Emperor Jianwen and ascended to the throne.

After he sat on the throne, he was particularly concerned about the vassal king and the army.

Not long after he sat on the throne, he first suspected that his brother Zhou Wang, who was the same father and mother, was suspected of rebellion, and brought Zhu Hu to Shuntian Mansion for trial.

Zhu Huan had seen the vicious methods of his brother Zhu Di, and he went to the court to dedicate his three guards to the court.

to show that he has no intention of rebellion, he just wants to be a prince of peace.

This made Zhu Di suspicious, and the emperors of all subsequent dynasties were also very kind to King Zhou's family because of this.

It is said that after these three guards were given to the imperial court, the imperial court actually only accepted more than 10,000 young and middle-aged people, but was unwilling to take over the remaining 3,000 old, weak, sick and young.

The ancestor of Murong Shangwu was the commander of the three guards, and he said that he moved Zhu Hu and asked Zhu Hu to fund these 3,000 people to form a dart game, called the Central Plains Dart Bureau.

This Murong commander also resigned from his official position in the imperial court and became the head of the dart game.

Because there was no guard in the palace, there were few affairs that needed to be handled by foreign affairs, so they were handed over to the Central Plains Dart Bureau to do.

The dart game has been relying on the palace to survive, and now this Central Plains dart game is already one of the best dart games in Henan.

This dart game has been passed down like this, and the dart game has always been an important part of the palace.

What's more, this Murong Shangwu is even more, the current playmate of Zhu Suqin, the king of Zhou, when he was a child.

Therefore, in this palace, he has a very important voice.

"Murong Darthead, it's not that his subordinates are talking nonsense, it's really that the case of the shopkeeper Wang is very suspicious, and his subordinates are worried that he will not be able to explain some things so clearly." Jiang Yuren continued.

"The surname is Jiang, where did I offend you. You're going to push me like that. ”

Murong Dart didn't reply yet, but Wang Wencai was indignant when he heard it. He actually understood the filthiness in Jiang Yu's heart.

He just wanted to squeeze himself out and let the Wang family fall out of favor, and he had long coveted the position of Zhu Shaoli's grandson.

Zhu Shaochen also secretly praised his uncle, yes, if you don't make trouble at this moment, when will you wait!

"Okay, don't make any fuss. Wencai, it's up to you. Lone can still trust you. ”

Zhou Wangye waved his hand and stopped the farce in the hall. Let Wang Wencai say it himself.

"Yes, lord."

In fact, Wang Wencai had already prepared a draft in his heart, how to report to the prince.

"It's a long story, starting with last month.

On the eighth day of the first month of last month, a merchant with a Shanxi accent came to the branch of Luoyang Pujitang.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked for 10,000 catties of ginseng, and specified that he wanted the Korean ginseng purchased by our Pujitang in Liaodong.

The Shanxi merchant was also bold, and the five thousand taels of silver were handed over directly to the counter.

Lord Wang, you also know that there is so much Korean ginseng in stock in this Luoyang branch.

So his subordinates let people escort him over from our Kaifeng General Account.

The original delivery was scheduled to be delivered 10 days later, but it was the day of delivery.

The subordinates personally accompanied and waited there, but they waited left and right, and no one came.

The subordinates thought to themselves, anyway, they had also received a fixed amount of money, so they didn't take it seriously.

After waiting for a few more days, the merchant did not come.

Since the merchant breached the contract first, the subordinates did not take this matter seriously with the idea that the deposit would not be refunded and earn 5,000 taels of silver for nothing.

In a few days, his subordinates felt that this ginseng Luoyang would not be able to produce so much.

So his subordinates asked people to send the ginseng back to the Kaifeng General Warehouse.

A few days later, someone from the palace said that the ginseng sent back was all dead branches and leaves.

There was not a single ginseng in the 10,000 catties of goods.

O conscience of heaven and earth, lord! The subordinates have never touched these ginseng boxes from beginning to end. ”

Wang Wencai couldn't control his emotions at this time.

In fact, the king's treasurer is a person, and everyone else in the hall knows it.

If you want to say that he will do things that are greedy for ink, everyone will not believe it.

But after all, this is a matter of 50,000 taels of silver, except for those who are very close to them, everyone does not say too much, thinking that they will be affected by the pond fish at that time.

"Shopkeeper Wang, the ginseng was sent to your Luoyang in good condition, and it became these things when you came back?"

Jiang Yuren pointed to the medicine box and said.

"Treasurer Jiang, after the ginseng was delivered, we haven't even opened it. After that, it was sent back to the main warehouse as it was. Wang Wencai said angrily.

"The king's treasurer, that is your mistake. How can you not accept the goods when they arrive. In my opinion, I'm afraid you still secretly opened it and replaced the ginseng. ”

Jiang Yuren said with a cold face, "I'm afraid you just want the general warehouse to see that the seal is intact and go directly to the warehouse." It's a pity that I couldn't follow your wishes. ”

"Treasurer Jiang, the goods that come from Kaifeng have the seal of the general warehouse. I saw that the seal was in good condition, so I didn't open the seal to inspect the goods.

Besides, when we know that the seal is intact and someone comes to pick up the goods the next day, how can we open the box and inspect the goods in advance? When did our Pujitang have a situation where the seal is intact, but the goods given are wrong? Wang Wencai said angrily when he heard this.

"The king's shopkeeper and those who do business must inspect the goods in person. Can you not inspect our palace treasury when we go out?

The shopkeeper really doesn't know how to do business.

If it is according to the king's treasurer's will, it will be when my treasury goes out. It's already these dead leaves? ”

Jiang Yuren replied unceremoniously. A few words to say aggressively.

Zhu Shaochen thought, this person must have been prepared a long time ago. Nine times out of ten, this person instructed, but how did this person do it?

What if the shopkeeper of the king checks it in advance when it is opened? Or did he already have a countermeasure?

Zhu Shaochen looked at the medicine box containing 'Korean ginseng', and couldn't help but see the clues.

The two were on the field, arguing. Suddenly, the hall was lively again.

"Shut up." Zhou Wang Ye Zhu Suqin said angrily. As soon as the prince opened his mouth to speak, naturally no one dared to talk more. Zhu Suqin turned his head and asked Murong Shangwu on the side.

"Brother Shangwu, let's talk about it, the goods that come and go should be the darts of the Central Plains Dart Bureau."

"Yes, my lord. This batch of goods is valuable, so this back and forth is personally escorted by the dog. Murong Shangwu replied.

"That's a man. Let him go back and forth in the hall. Zhu Suqin said.

"The dog went to King Nanyang Lu a few days ago, and I'm afraid it won't take three or five days to return." Murong Shangwu sighed and said.

Murong Shangwu's son is Murong Xiong.

Murong Xiong is in the prime of life, and because of a famous teacher. Martial arts have long been above Murong Shangwu. So now all the tricky darts in the dart game are escorted by Murong Xiong.

"In that case, let's stop when the male comes back in a few days." Zhu Suqin thought about it, and simply went with the mud.

Let's talk about today's incident first. When the time comes, I will casually break this case.

"Grandpa Wang, according to my grandson, this case is actually very simple. There is no need to wait for Uncle Murong to come back at all. Zhu Suqin turned around and saw that it was Zhu Shaochen who was talking.

This ten-year-old child dares to say that this case is simple?
