Chapter 44: Contradictions
According to historical records, it was in the Ming Dynasty Yongle or which era, the specific memory is not clear, at that time there was a rumor that there was a country in Southeast Asia full of gold, but the emperor really sent someone to that country, and found that there was no such thing at all. This allusion tells us to what extent the Ming Dynasty did not understand overseas, and even the imperial court believed such rumors, let alone the people.
"How much? After digging it all, it should be able to fill the entire Jingshi of my Ming Dynasty. Jeon Won thought for a moment and said.
"Wow, how much gold does that cost?" All the people present were stunned, as if they really saw the gold all over the capital.
Quan Yuan and Zhang Hui only smiled and didn't speak, what they wanted was such an effect.
"When are the two masters going to dig up? The little woman had never seen a mountain made of gold. The woman continued curiously.
"There is still a shortage of money, and when the money is ready, we are ready to go to sea to dig." Quan Yuan said slightly drunk.
"I'm here to be happy today, let's not talk about this matter, let's continue, the next winning uncle, each person will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver, and if you lose, you will be rewarded with a pot of wine." Zhang Hui also seems to have entered the state.
……
Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan went shopping in one day, and they actually spent more than 3,000 taels. Although the pomp is not necessarily the largest, and the amount of money spent is not necessarily the largest, the amount of consumption after a game can definitely be ranked.
The legend that the two of them have a mountain of gold has quietly spread in the hook bar. In the next few days, Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan would go to Goulan every day to squander, but they didn't squander like the first day, but they still had thousands of taels of expenses a day, and this spending speed was enough for them to squander for more than a month.
Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan's profligacy, coupled with rumors, has begun to attract the attention of other people, some people want to follow the two of them, some people want to hit the attention of the two, and even the attention of Jin Shan in their mouths, of course, Wang Liqian and Zhang Tianshi can't understand it for two days, at this speed of squandering, the matter has not been completed, and the money is gone.
Wang Liqian felt that something was wrong, and he decided to tell the emperor first, and the emperor would make a decision.
"Master, this is what Zhang Hui and others have done in the past few days." Wang Liqian truthfully told the emperor all the actions of Zhang Hui, Quan Yuan and others in the past few days. He couldn't understand what Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan were doing, so he had to hand it over to Zhu Youxiao to make a holy judgment. After all, squandering his 50,000 silver is a trivial matter, and if he messes things up, it will be a big deal.
Wang Liqian knew that this matter was very important to Zhu Youxiao, even more important than anything at present, and Zhu Youxiao, as an emperor, did not hesitate to do such a thing with his own reputation, and the sacrifice was conceivable.
"The two of them have been spending all day drinking in the hook bar these days?" Zhu Youxiao also frowned a little when he saw it. Zhu Youxiao felt that every penny was spent on his money, although he also understood that the greater the investment, the greater the return, but this also made him feel a little painful, no way, he is really short of money now, and the implementation of all plans is inseparable from money.
"Yes, yes." Wang Liqian replied.
"They spend so much money, how many people now know that they have a mountain of gold in their hands? Do they need to raise money? And their monthly interest is five cents a penny? Zhu Youxiao asked.
"The specific number of people cannot be counted, but the news that the two of them hold the gold mountain has spread, and there are more and more people who believe in them, but the fact that they need to raise funds seems to have not spread for the time being." Wang Liqian replied truthfully.
"Why do you see that more and more people believe in them?" Zhu Youxiao asked.
"Now someone is investigating their background, in addition to those city foxes, snakes and rats in the capital, even Jinyiwei is investigating them." Wang Liqian said softly.
In the past, Dongchang pressed Jinyiwei to death, since Jinyiwei dealt with the case of Wei Wei, Zhu Youxiao handed over Jinyiwei to deal with more things than Dongchang, Dongchang is now unable to suppress Jinyiwei's rising momentum, this time there is a rare opportunity to suppress Jinyiwei, Wang Liqian unceremoniously shook Jinyiwei out.
"Jin Yiwei? It can't be Luo Sigong investigating them. Zhu Youxiao asked. Jin Yiwei's power is all over the country, and if you want to investigate these two people, it won't take half a year to definitely investigate the two of them clearly, and Zhu Youxiao doesn't want to interfere with Jin Yiwei's investigation, let alone be known that he is operating all this behind the scenes.
"For the time being, I don't know if Commander Luo is involved, but Xu Xianchun of Jinyiwei must be investigating." Wang Liqian replied.
"Say hello to Luo Sigong, the affairs of these two people are not Jinyiwei's turn to take care of them, they are in charge of Dongchang, if Jinyiwei dares to interfere, he will be chopped up." Zhu Youxiao said coldly.
"Master, what should I do with this Xu Xianchun?" Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Wang Liqian was secretly happy in his heart, this was a good opportunity to deal with Jinyiwei. Although Xu Xianchun used to belong to the same eunuch party as Wang Liqian, he didn't mind killing chickens and monkeys.
"Jinyiwei has investigated this matter, and all the people who have investigated this matter have been secretly disposed of, and brought my words to Luo Sigong, but Luo Sigong can't let Luo Sigong know that I am behind these two people." Zhu Youxiao said.
"No." Wang Liqian replied. It is easy to deal with the person who investigated this matter, there are many ways in the East Factory, but after dealing with it, it is not so easy to wipe the buttocks, according to the style of Jin Yiwei, he died for no reason, and Jin Yiwei will definitely investigate to the end, and even make a lot of trouble. And the most important thing is not to expose Zhu Youxiao, which is a bit difficult.
"Xu Xianchun was originally a member of Wei Wei's party, and during his tenure as the commander of the capital, he was ruthless and made a lot of money, so it is better to convict him and deal with it, master, what do you think?" Wang Liqian asked tentatively again.
"No, I don't want to make too much noise." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said.
"Master, if Jinyiwei dies in command for no reason, I'm afraid that Jinyiwei won't let go." Wang Liqian said helplessly.
Wang Liqian's words reminded Zhu Youxiao, and Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said: "It's easy for me to think about it, but it's a troublesome matter." ”
Zhu Youxiao ignored the fact that he was in command of the fourth grade official, and one of the fourth grade officials of Jinyiwei died unexplained, which is indeed a bit troublesome, no matter whether he fabricates a crime or not, Jinyiwei must have an explanation here, lest Jinyiwei continue to investigate, otherwise, Zhu Youxiao is really afraid that the money has not been cheated yet, and the matter will be exposed first.
"It's very easy to deal with Xu Xianchun, but the minister is afraid that if Jinyiwei investigates it, it will ruin the master's big thing." Wang Liqian said softly.
"Pass Luo Sigong." Zhu Youxiao knew that it was necessary to give Jinyiwei a little advice in person.
