"How's the investigation going?"

When Ye Xun asked this, there were many subordinates of the Shen Mansion beside him.

Cheng Yu is Ye Xun's old comrade-in-arms, Ye Xun's one look, he can guess eight or nine.

After Ye Xun finished asking, he deliberately frowned and said: "The news is too complicated, and it will take some time to sort out, but one thing is certain, that is, they should have a lot of eyeliner in the Central Plains, especially in Jiangnan, and many businesses..."

Speaking of this, he deliberately stopped, looked left and right, and said, "This official and Ye Gonggong have something to say, you all go down!" ”

The subordinates did not dare to delay, and retreated one after another.

Ye Xun saw that there was no one left and right, so he secretly extended his thumb to Cheng Yu, and there was nothing wrong with the cooperation, which was perfect.

Cheng Yu frowned and said, "Will there be a problem with this person?" If there's a problem, my father-in-law lives here, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, right? ”

Ye Xun smiled slightly, and said: "His family has a big business, he doesn't dare to do anything to me, but you, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you have lost weight like this, although official affairs are important, but you also have to protect your body, if this is the case again, I will transfer you back to Beijing."

Cheng Yu was moved in his heart, but said with a smile in his mouth: "It's not so delicate, the Wei family father and son are gone, and many things have to be sorted out again, that is, they are busy at the beginning, just wait for everything to get on the right track."

Ye Xun understands Cheng Yu's character, and knows that he can't persuade him, so he checked it just now, but fortunately he didn't feel anything wrong with his body.

"At the time of the Chinese New Year, I had promised several adults in the court that they would not move troops this year, but this battle of the Ryukyus was imperative, so in terms of logistics and supplies, I am afraid that it will depend on you in Nanjing, how about it, is there a problem?"

Cheng Yu pondered for a moment and said: "My father-in-law knows that the navy is the most expensive in silver, and the treasury here in Nanjing is full, but I don't know how long this battle will last, and what kind of scale?" ”

"The sea is vast, and although I want to end the war as soon as possible, it's really hard to say this date, as for the scale! ...”

"Two treasure ships are going to participate in the war, how can there be more than 20 warships with more than 1,000 materials, of course, these are my preliminary reservations, and the specific number can only be given by General Tian when they come back from sea trials, and the soldiers are about 20,000!"

Listening to Ye Xun's words, Cheng Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said: "The cost of 20,000 troops on land is not a small amount, let alone at sea.

Ye Xun nodded and said: "After the army goes to sea, it can't completely rely on the land, I heard that the Ryukyu Kingdom is still very rich, I helped them drive away the pirates, why is the Ryukyu King still embarrassed?" In addition, you can also piggyback some goods on the ship, and then use the money exchanged for military funds."

Cheng Yu was amused by Ye Xun's words, this guy is not a master who can suffer losses there, it is estimated that he has beaten away the pirates, and the Ryukyu Kingdom will have to be scraped by him, so there is really no need to worry about military spending.

Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "My father-in-law lives in Shen Dongzhu's house, I'm afraid that the drunkard is not in the bar?" ”

Ye Xun also smiled, how can I say that I am a good buddy, I just want to go together.

It is not easy for Grandpa Ye to come to Jiangnan, these rich salt masters in Jiangnan, shouldn't they also have something to say!

Ye Xun and Cheng Yu were chatting and laughing in the front hall, but Shen Changshan in the back house couldn't sit still, because the subordinates had already told him about Ye Xun's mention of the Xingming Chamber of Commerce.

With more than 500 years of knowledge, even if I dare not say that I can see through the minds of these ancient merchants, I can guess the same.

The Shen family has been in the maritime trade for many years and has always been in contact with the Nanyang side, but they have never heard of this organization before.

This Xingming Chamber of Commerce seems to have appeared overnight, and as soon as it appeared, it occupied the Nanyang market very strongly.

With a chamber of commerce like this, how could the Shen family not contact it? However, Shen Changshan didn't know that it was Zhu Youzhen who sent him away, he only knew that he was a nobleman in Beijing, and because he offended Ye Xun, he had to take refuge overseas.

Shen Changshan adhered to the principle of multiple friends and multiple paths, and it was the people of the Xingming Chamber of Commerce who came to ask for it, so he did a good deed very happily.

What Shen Changshan never expected was that after the person was sent away, the Xingming Chamber of Commerce told him who the person who sent him away.

Shen Changshan was very frightened at that time, because he had also heard the news that King Xin had died of illness in Beijing, but now he suddenly went to sea on his family's boat, if this reached Ye Xun, he could figure out what the consequences would be with his ass.

The Xingming Chamber of Commerce's hand can be said to be too yin, which is equivalent to capturing Shen Changshan's pigtails, making him unable to speak.

Fortunately, after sending Zhu Youzhen away, the people from the Xingming Chamber of Commerce never looked for him again, which made him gradually put his mind at ease.

Even when Ye Xun first came, Shen Changshan still fantasized that Ye Xun didn't know about it, hoping to get away with it, but he didn't want Ye Xun to know everything a long time ago.

What can I do?

The last time Ye Xun went to the south of the Yangtze River, whether it was to treat the Yan Gang or officials at all levels in Nanjing, those methods were still vivid, if Ye Xun used these methods in the Shen family, it is estimated that the Shen family would be completely defeated.

To be the largest merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, Shen Changshan's mind is naturally extremely decisive.

After only a moment of hesitation, Shen Changshan made the decision to confess to Ye Xun...

Turning his gaze to the capital, the Leng brothers had not yet arrived in the capital, but the news of Zhang Ziwen's death somehow came first.

What Ye Xun didn't expect was that someone sent a letter written by Zhang Ziwen to Zhang Guoji to his father Zhang Guotai.

And that's not the most magical, the most amazing thing is the content of the letter.

Zhang Ziwen overturned all the convictions given to him by Ye Xun in the letter, although he did not directly say that Ye Xun wanted to harm him, but it is certain that he was framed by others, and even listed some human and material evidence to prove that he did not participate in the persecution of the people and the White Lotus Sect.

After getting the letter, Zhang Guotai was like crazy, pulled Zhang Guoji and came to the palace, and then knelt in front of the palace, crying and begging the queen mother to make the decision for the dead Zhang Ziwen.

This change was really unexpected by everyone, and in addition, some people deliberately spread and promoted, all kinds of rumors soon filled the streets and alleys of the capital, and there was a tendency to spread outward.

Among the various rumors, one of them is the most evil, that is, Ye Xun wanted to start a war, but he suffered from no food, and finally made Zhang Ziwen a scapegoat, and finally had to kill Zhang Ziwen because the matter was exposed...

You must know that Ye Xun did give an order to kill Zhang Ziwen before, which seems to confirm the authenticity of the rumors.

In the court, Comrade Lao Fang was also very angry, and he took Zhang Ziwen back to Beijing, and everything that everyone was happy about was like this, is your father-in-law Ye slapping me in the face, or slapping the queen mother's face!

In a fit of anger, Comrade Lao Fang handed over the impeachment of Ye Xun to the Empress Dowager Baozhu for the first time...
