The two were talking, when they suddenly saw rosin coming in from outside, and said to Gu Yanzhang: "Official, someone from the government office said that there is something in the criminal department, please hurry up." ”

At this time, it was already the middle of the night, but Gu Yanzhang hurriedly stood up, he was still wearing an official uniform, and he didn't even need to change his clothes at the moment, so he turned his head and said to Ji Qingling: "I'm afraid that there is any news from Zhixin's side, I'll take a look." ”

He slowed down his voice and said, "You go to bed first, you don't need to leave me a bed at night." "As he spoke, he was about to go out.

Ji Qingling saw that Gu Yanzhang had only eaten two mouthfuls of food at night, and he was about to go out at this time, afraid that he would be hungry in his belly, and it was not easy to stop him if he was in such a hurry, so he had to ask the little girl to hurriedly wrap a few semi-cool cooking cakes for Rosin Xiang to bring, and explained: "I don't know what time it will be tonight, if you are hungry, you might as well use it to pad your stomach." ”

Rosin put it on her arm and hurriedly followed.

When the two of them went out, Ji Qingling returned to the room, and couldn't help but think about the things in the Funing Palace that Gu Yanzhang said, only to feel that there were many strange things, and he was about to explain the Qiuyue grinding ink on the side, and wanted to transcribe the matter, so he turned his head, but saw that her eyes were red, and she was turning her head to wipe her tears quietly, and she was a little embarrassed, and it was not easy to say what was beside her, so she only took the white paper in front of her, uncovered the inkstone, and took the ink strip to be polished.

Qiu Yue heard the movement, hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, took the ink strip in Ji Qingling's hand, and was embarrassed to say more, so she only lowered her head and grinded the ink seriously.

Ji Qingling dipped his pen in ink and wanted to write, but he couldn't help but raise his head and asked softly: "Your Majesty, I see that everyone in the house is sad, what is the reason for this?" ”

Qiu Yue was stunned for a moment, and then replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty is benevolent and kind-hearted, everyone knows that he loves the people, and now that he has left so suddenly, how can we not be sad?" ”

Ji Qingling clutched the pen in his hand, a little stunned for a while.

The Son of Heaven is a great trip, and the ministers in the Funing Palace today get along with him every day, if you talk about it seriously, he has not treated the ministers badly, and after getting along for many years, even cats and dogs have some feelings. But after he passed away, he didn't see much sadness in everyone, but everyone began to quarrel about the establishment of the prince, and no one paid attention to it when they heard that the body was half stiff today, so they let him put it on the bed and didn't go to the burial.

On the contrary, through a palace wall, many of the people outside had never even met him, but they wept for him.

Ji Qingling once saw someone describe the situation in the capital after Zhao Rui's death, saying that "the Beijing division cried in the alleys of the city for several days." Although beggars and children cried before the Forbidden Palace before they were burned", when the news reached Xijing, the people in Luoyang City, young and old, were crying to the east, and the paper ash and smoke covered the sky, and no one was seen.

She used to only make legends to see, thinking that it was somewhat exaggerated, and it would not be so, after all, the Son of Heaven was high and had no contact with the people, how could he win the hearts of the people like this?

But at this time, when she really walked to the entrance of the alley, she could hear the crying outside, see the situation of the people in the house, and ask questions from the autumn moon, she knew that the history books were not false.

Thinking of this, Ji Qingling couldn't help but sigh, put the pen in his hand back on the stone support, and waited for a while, until his mind was rarely calm, and he picked up the pen again to write.

She has been visiting Li Chengwei for a long time, and she has learned about Chen Ducai from Gu Yanzhang, and even the various words confessed by Zhixin at the moment, she didn't think about it in that direction.

Wu Yi was able to suddenly impeach Zhao Duo, the king of Wei, in the Funing Palace today, speaking and acting in an orderly manner, carrying witnesses and evidence with him, and at first glance, he had a plan.

With his ability, it is impossible to do this, so who is helping him to prepare?

Ji Qingling listed the actions of all the people according to the year, and picked out the things that the three of them did, and the names, resumes, and factions of the people who were bitten by Li Chengwei, and the manpower used by Wu Yi to act today, I just felt that the more I wrote that line, the clearer it became.

What a big place in the capital, there are so many giants and wealthy merchants, Li Chengwei has gone from a cloth merchant to today, but in just a few decades, it is not a new industry, nor a new practice, the cloth, horses, tea, wine, etc. he operates, and even today's quality warehouse, are all early industries in Beijing.

Li Chengwei's confidence is not enough, and his family assets are not extremely rich, so he can have today, in addition to the marriage of his son and daughter, the most important thing is to rely on the brewing rights of his wife's mother's family.

But he is not the only one who has the right to brew wine in the capital?

In the second year of Chunhua, the imperial court stopped 472 places where liquor was sold, and soon after, the "real seal and petition method" was implemented, that is, the government posted a list to recruit people to bid for the right to buy liquor and sell liquor, and the merchants wrote their proposed price in an envelope and handed it over to the government, and finally the right to make liquor and sell liquor would be given to the person with the highest bid.

Li Chengwei took the blessing of his father-in-law in Beijing and won three restaurants in the market, but the rest of the places were under his control.

Ji Qingling had already learned about the situation of the Li family from the Kyoto government, no matter the annual tax payment, the number of servants in the house, the number of employees in the store, etc., it was all clear, and pushed back, just with the Li family's business in the capital, he was just an ordinary rich businessman, but with his industry in Wei and other places, it was completely different.

According to the news that Ji Qingling received from Yingzhou, half of the "Chen family" in Li Chengwei's hometown went to Wei, and they all helped Li Chengwei buy and sell tea, wine, and even Huai salt, which is different from in the capital or in other places.

Ordinary people can't think of this, but Li Chengwei not only dared to think about it, but he actually did it, and what is more interesting is that in Weidi, he generally did not put the industry under his own name, but hung it in the name of the rest of the Chen clan in Yingzhou.

If it weren't for the coincidence, Ji Qingling specially sent someone to Yingzhou to investigate, and who could have imagined that in the more than 20 prefectures and counties in Weidi, there were more than 40 wine shops, more than 30 tea shops, and Huaiyan shops, and the owners of these shops looked unknown and different on the surface, but in fact, they were all one-person industries.

One by one, Wei Di is precisely the fief of Zhao Hao, the king of Wei.

Supporting a merchant like this, and forcing all the money in the fief to Li Chengwei to make money, Zhao Hao is not crazy, what is he trying to do?
