"How is this good, how is this good...... Wang Dengku's shocked face turned colorless, and he slumped in his chair and muttered to himself.

The carefully selected honest leader turned out to be directly counterproductive, and all the plans came to naught. Decades of business were ruined, and he was still charged with raiding his family and exterminating his family.

Shen Di had long since lost his composure at the beginning, his hands were clenched and his eyes widened angrily, very unwilling. It's easy to get the reputation of Jinshi, it's easy to get a beauty difference that makes money every day, and it's easy to get hundreds of thousands of nearly a million taels of silver in the previous term, but I didn't expect that with the arrival of the emperor, everything became empty.

If the official is lost, he will be lost, and what worries Shen Di the most is that because of the relationship with Jin Shang, if the matter is exposed, the crime of inciting a riot alone is enough to make himself irreversible!

"For now, I can only go." Wang Dengku suddenly stood up, "Like Fan Yongdou, sneak over the border wall to the Mongols!" ”

Shen Di kept his face calm and did not say a word. You may be able to escape your life by going to the Mongols, but you will be infamous for being a traitor. Abandoning everything and defecting to the barbarians, how can he be willing?

"Don't hesitate, sir, let's run away together, I have friendships with several fortress guards, and I will definitely be able to protect you over the side wall." Wang Dengku is very righteous and angry.

Shen Di suddenly turned his face: "Bastard thing, he actually bewitched the official to commit treason, come here, catch him for me!" ”

Hearing this, several soldiers of the Fuyi Hall rushed in, pressed Wang Dengku to the ground, and tied him up.

Wang Dengku was stunned: "Why is this so, my lord? We're in this together! ”

Shen Di's eyes widened and he said solemnly: "Bastard, this official is the head of the household department of the imperial court, how can he be with you, a filthy businessman, and block his mouth for me!" ”

"Woo woo woo ......" Wang Dengku struggled, but could no longer make a sound.

Shen Di hesitated, but finally made up his mind, pulled out the waist knife from the soldier with a "bang", and stabbed it into Wang Dengku's stomach with a "poof".

Wang Dengku's body stiffened, and his eyes suddenly burst out.

"Brother Wang, this official has no choice but to borrow your head." Shen Di leaned over Wang Dengku's ear and said softly.

Wang Dengku's eyes shot an angry light, and then his expression quickly disappeared, and his head tilted and he lost his breath.

"Cut off his head, and then seize and lock up all his entourage, and after the incident, all of them will be rewarded." Shen Di said lightly.

"Yes, sir!" The soldiers were overjoyed and departed.

......

"Futai, Shen Di, the director of the Fuyi Hall, asks to see you." Hong Chengchou was dealing with the follow-up matters of the rebellion, and suddenly someone came to report.

"Let him wait outside first." Hong Chengchou said lightly.

"My lord, the rebels have arrested Shang Jia's accomplices one after another, and more than fifty people have been arrested, all of whom are waiting outside the city gate to receive their rewards." There are men who report it.

Hong Chengchou said: "Send someone to verify, and then send the reward money down, record the names of these rewarded rebels, and then let them leave." ”

"General Huang sent someone to report, he has already preached the orders of the adults to the rebel army, most of the rebel army has left on their own, General Huang asked for instructions, is it to send cavalry to patrol and monitor?" Another subordinate asked.

Hong Chengchou said: "Send someone to the castles to send orders, ordering them to monitor the border rebels, if any rebels dare to loot, each fort can send troops to capture and kill." ”

One thing after another, it didn't stop until dusk.

"My lord, Director Shen is still waiting outside." A subordinate reminded.

Hong Chengchou sneered: "Let him come in." ”

"Shen Di, the director of the Fuyi Hall, greets your lordship." Shen Di saluted Hong Chengchou respectfully.

Hong Chengchou just raised his hand slightly, and didn't even ask anyone to make tea on the seat, and asked directly:

"Master Shen, why did you come here at this time, but what's the matter?"

Shen Yan said with a smile: "I know that adults are busy with official business, so I shouldn't have bothered." It's just that this afternoon, a thief suddenly broke into the Fuyi Hall and was captured and killed by the soldiers of the Fuyi Hall. ”

As he spoke, he waved out, and a soldier from the Fuyi Hall walked in with a wooden box and placed it on the ground.

Shen Di stepped forward in person and opened the lid of the box, revealing Wang Dengku's dead head.

"This person is Wang Dengku, the owner of Zhangjiabao Wangjia Warehouse, the No. 2 fugitive wanted by adults, he was desperate, tried in vain to enter the Fuyi Hall to kidnap the lower officials, and was beheaded by the soldiers of the Fuyi Hall." Shen Di explained.

Hong Chengchou said lightly: "I'm afraid it's not killing people, right?" ”

Shen Di was shocked: "Why did your lord say this? ”

Hong Chengchou didn't want to be perfunctory anymore, so he directly showdowned: "Shen Di, you have done a lot of things these days, do you really think it is seamless?" ”

"Ten days ago, this official raided the Fan family firm, in order to clear the relationship with Fan Yongdou, you sent people to Qilibao to chase and kill the mouth, but Fan Yongdou escaped."

"Fan Yongdou wrote a letter threatening, and you teamed up with Wang Dengku and others to incite public opinion and lure military households from all over the country to rebel with money."

"This official made tens of thousands of rebellious troops collapse without much effort, and when you see that things are not good, you will kill Wang Dengku, who knows about it, and try to get by."

"However, you don't know that since the first time you came to Zhangjiabao to see the official, the official ordered the Jinyi Guard to follow the monitoring with you, and everything you did was not hidden from the Jinyi Guard!"

The cold words came out of Hong Chengchou's mouth, and Shen Chengchou's face changed greatly.

"The adults misunderstood the lower officials, the lower officials, the lower officials didn't do those things." Shen Di said incoherently.

Hong Chengchou shook his head slightly, and said disdainfully: "A manly man dares to be a man, Shen Di, you are also from a Jinshi, don't let me look down on you." Since the official said the words directly, there are enough human and material evidence. ”

Shen Di finally despaired, and said with a wry smile: "Xia Guan thinks he is smart, but he doesn't know that he has exhausted the machine. ”

"Yes, I did it all. However, Lord Hong, if you hadn't suddenly brought troops to seize all the warehouses in Zhangjiabao, none of this would have happened. ”

"Since the beginning of the tribute trade during the Longqing period, there has been no war in Xuanfu, and the northern part of the Ming Dynasty has enjoyed peace for decades. And the smooth development of the horse market trade is also due to the contribution of the merchants. But as soon as you came, your lordship, you relied on your status as a governor to steal the wealth that all the merchants had worked so hard to accumulate! Your Excellency, you are the culprit of this mutiny! ”

Hong Chengchou sneered: "Shen Di, why bother to make clever words now? Although these merchants were inseparable from the prosperity of the horse market, they also made a lot of money from it. As long as they make money legally, they will naturally have nothing to do, shouldn't they be convicted of smuggling militaristic materials?

And you, as the head of the Fuyi Department, should have supervised these merchants, but you colluded with them, helped them smuggle for silver, and did not hesitate to incite the rebels to make trouble and blackmail the court for the sake of profit, do you dare to say that you are innocent? ”

Shen Di opened his mouth and stammered, having nothing to say.

"Accepting huge bribes, inciting rebels to riot, trying to collude with the Mongols to invade, Shen Di, these crimes add up, and it is not too much to sentence you to Ling Chi!" Hong Chengchou said in disgust.

Shen Di suddenly raised his head: "Lord Hong, the lower officials did not collude with the Mongols, it was Fan Yongdou who did it, and the officials were all coerced!" ”

Hong Chengchou said lightly: "Are you coerced, your own court will condemn you." Hmph, you have been the head of the Fuyi Hall for a few years, and you don't even know what the situation of the Mongols is, so it's really stupid to pin your hopes on the Mongols! ”
