"Your Majesty......"

Zhang Heling was also a little exhausted at this time, after more than a dozen princes jumped out, he burst into tears, fell to the ground, and cried: "Jubao Merchant House has never been a criminal department, as everyone knows, my Ming caravan brought goods to the vassal states, and at the same time spent money to hire local coolies, to provide them with a livelihood, to store and guard, but also for the sake of safety, but there were people in the court who violated their interests because of the firm, and it was so slanderous, when there was no firm in the past, many wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River, including this surnamed Zhou, They all used their power for personal gain, shielding their clansmen to smuggle in the sea. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but Jubao Firm is to gather wealth for the country, it has been slandered so much, please Your Majesty call the shots, give the firm a justice. ”

As soon as Zhang Heling said this, more than a dozen princes, including the Duke of Chengguo, fell to the ground and said: "Zhou Cheng refers to the deer as a horse, which is very hateful, please Your Majesty severely punish it!" ”

Zhou Cheng stabbed a hornet's nest at this time, not to mention this Shouning Marquis and Jianchangbo, just a few other princes, such as this Chengguo Duke Zhu Fu, that is one of the celebrities in front of His Majesty, garrisoning Nanjing, leading the military governor's mansion, it can be said that the entire half of the south of the Yangtze River, the palace is pressing its safety on this grandfather. has won the trust of the palace, and they are all high-powered characters.

Where did Zhou Cheng think that he found an excuse for the firm to criticize the Jubao firm, and the treasure firm has already formed a huge network of interests, among the shareholders are not only rich and wealthy, but also Shou Ninghou, Jian Changbo and others, even Chengguo Gong Zhu Fu saw the business opportunity, and also took the opportunity to buy shares, and now he is one of the shareholders, and many things are facilitated by him, such as recruiting guards, and he can be regarded as a contribution.

Now Zhou Cheng asked the palace to thoroughly investigate the Jubao Trading House, this is not just implicating Liu Chengfeng, Shou Ninghou, Jian Changbo, Cheng Guogong, these people, none of them can escape the involvement, if the private army is established, if Liu Chengfeng is a rebellion, they are accomplices, Liu Chengfeng raided the family and exterminated the clan, they are also full of beheading, this Zhou Cheng slapped down, it was not only Liu Chengfeng who was knocked down, and these princes were beaten all over the ground vomiting blood. At this point, apart from working hard with Zhou Cheng, what else can you do?

This crane age has the richest expression, but he is in tears and can't control himself. In the Jubao firm, the royal family accounts for half of the shares, followed by Liu Chengfeng, followed by his Zhang Heling brother, it is difficult to hear, for the sake of benefits, many things in this caravan are planned by Zhang Heling, what plundering gold mines, pretending to be pirates to fight competitors, and even human trafficking, which has his share, once this kind of thing is to be thoroughly investigated, he will definitely not be able to run, and now it is finally dawn to enter the Jue, if it is for this matter to be degraded to a concubine, it is really a bamboo basket to draw water.

This Zhou Cheng actually dared to ask for his own life, of course he had to fight back, he knelt at the feet of Queen Zhang, and said to his own sister: "Niangniang...... Zhou Cheng is extremely evil, what is the situation of the commercial bank, you know best, last year, the commercial bank entered the palace with five million taels of silver...... Mother's ......"

When Empress Zhang saw her brother-in-law like this, her heart was broken, and she hurriedly comforted her, and then became extremely serious again, and said: "Your Majesty, someone just said that Zhou Cheng once connived at the smuggling of his clansmen for profit?" This is strange, my ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, the board is not allowed to go to the sea, who borrowed his courage, as an official of the imperial court, knows the law and violates the law. The emperor did not give up, and ordered him to be the imperial history of the left capital of the Imperial Palace, but he was good, he didn't think about retribution, but because of his own selfishness, he actually slandered the treasure firm. Speaking of which, the shares of the trading house also have a large share of the prince, what is he going to do? Could it be that the prince is raising private soldiers and plotting against him? ”

The shares of the firm were not counted in the royal head, but half were given to Zhu Houzhao, but this was only in name, and the real dividends were sent to the inner treasury. Queen Zhang's words were a bit vicious, and Zhou Cheng's face changed suddenly, and he was speechless.

If he is given time and let the imperial envoy continue to investigate, and when he discovers the deeper greasy in this treasure firm, maybe he will never dare to poke this hornet's nest, but the shareholders of the treasure firm have always been secretive, after all, so many princes and ministers are involved in it, it is not a glorious thing, as for the prince's shares, it is a secret in the secret, he does not know what, only knows that the firm is related to Liu Chengfeng, where does he know that this firm not only involves the prince, the royal family, but also involves countless princes.

Zhou Cheng already felt that something was wrong, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Liu Ji, but Liu Ji in the banquet looked like an old monk sitting still, without the slightest expression on his face, and Zhou Cheng's face couldn't help but show a trace of despair.

Zhu Youzhu was also a little angry at this time, Queen Zhang's words hit his weakness, originally the matter of this business house was related to the prince, the prince involved in the business of the treasure firm, it is also a very undignified thing, this kind of thing, people who know it dare not say it to the outside world, and now because of this Zhou Cheng, the matter has been exposed, and it is not to be said in vain, and his only son has also been charged with raising private soldiers.

Blame it comes and goes, and it can only be blamed on this week.

Zhu Youzhu looked at Zhou Cheng coldly, and said lightly: "Zhou Cheng, your clansmen violated the ancestral system and went to the sea to smuggle, is this serious?" ”

Zhou Cheng was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and said in anticipation: "Weichen doesn't know." ”

He knew he was going to be done. In fact, he was not alone in the smuggling matter, and no minister was innocent, especially those who had served as officials in Nanjing, not to mention, let alone Zhu Fu, the prince of Chengguo, had never done such a thing, but now that the emperor asked him, what could he say? Do you dare to say that seven or eight out of ten civil and military personnel in the Manchu Dynasty have been involved in smuggling? Even if he did not condone the smuggling of his people, he had accepted bribes from smugglers. As long as he says such a sentence, then he Zhou Cheng is afraid that it will really be over, and there is absolutely no place to die.

Zhou Cheng thought about it in a mess, and suddenly remembered something, no, it should be his own impeachment of Liu Chengfeng, why was he impeached by others. Yes, as long as Liu Chengfeng is impeached, Liu Ji Liu will be willing to make decisions for himself, and sooner or later he will turn over, he thought about it, and then said: "Your Majesty, Wechen will also impeach, Liu Chengfeng said in the book, he led a thousand new troops, surrounded and annihilated 3,000 people in the front guard of the tile spur tent, this matter Weichen has investigated, and specially invited many border town veterans to ask, Wechen thinks, this matter is very strange, according to many veterans in the border town, these tile thorn people, not to say that it is the elite tent avant-garde, I Ming is to triple or quadruple the force to surround it, It is absolutely impossible to encircle and annihilate, how can he encircle and annihilate 3,000 people? If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, Weichen is willing to continue to investigate thoroughly for Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty for your permission. ”

Speaking of which, now it has turned to the matter of Mao Gong, and the only one who is most sure to find Liu Chengfeng's mistake at the moment is this Mao Gong.

Liu Chengfeng finally spoke at this time, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "Oh? Lord Zhou only relied on the rhetoric of a few veterans in border towns, and said that Liu was a meritorious? ”

Zhou Cheng sneered: "What is Liu Yan's trouble?" ”

Liu Chengfeng said: "What if someone in Liu is not a meritorious?" ”

Zhou Cheng was speechless for a while, and at this time, someone suddenly said lightly: "Is it a merit, it is best to say it clearly, what should I do if I don't take a merit, Zuodu Yushi was ordered to thoroughly investigate your merit, and now he has raised an objection, you just need to clarify your innocence." ”

The person who spoke was Liu Ji, Liu Ji had already sensed the danger at this time, and originally wanted to use the matter of raising private soldiers to bring down Liu Chengfeng, who knew that stealing chickens would not be a counter-erosion of a handful of rice, and now he had to retreat to the next best thing, and sat down to Liu Chengfeng's work.

Liu Chengfeng sneered: "Really? Bachelor Liu said well, but since someone slandered someone Liu, then someone Liu also said first, if Liu Chengfeng took the work, he would not be able to die well, but Liu Chengfeng did not take the work, these villains who slandered Liu someone, one by one, gave birth to sons without assholes, and the whole family died! ”

That's ruthless enough.

said such rude words in the palace, and there was only Liu Chengfeng.

Zhou Cheng and Liu Ji's faces changed.

Then, Liu Chengfeng saluted Zhu Youzhang, and said: "Your Majesty, the three thousand tents were killed by Weichen, and Weichen has evidence." When Weichen came back, he had entrusted the Monan Departments to transport those tent avant-garde heads into Beijing, but I was afraid that it would not be long before these heads would enter Beijing. In addition, Weichen wants one more thing, please take a look at it. ”

Head...... It is a certificate of military merit, and now Liu Chengfeng actually brought the head, which is the most direct proof.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Chengfeng took out a piece of parchment from his sleeve and presented it to the king, Zhu Youzhu was very puzzled to open the parchment, the top was actually Mongolian and Chinese characters, and the bottom was also stamped with the jade seal of the Tile Thorn Khan's Court, this letter was written to Liu Chengfeng, the tone was very polite, to the effect that this Khan had heard the name of Liu Chengfeng, and had repeatedly humiliated the Thorn before, and now he dared to slaughter my three thousand warriors and kill the deputy envoy of the Privy Council of my Khan's Court. Make you a prisoner of Ben Khan, and break your body into thousands of pieces.

Watt Thorn Khan is crazy, the original wishful thinking was destroyed by Liu Chengfeng, not to mention, his own personal guard warriors were actually killed by Liu Chengfeng, in anger, while repairing the book Li Ruofan, while repairing the book Liu Chengfeng, repairing the book Li Ruofan, it is a war book. And the book repairer Liu Chengfeng, but he also had nowhere to vent his anger, so he made a book threat.

Who knew that his letters had become Liu Chengfeng's most direct evidence.
