The problem now is that Zhu Qizhen clearly knows that there is a problem with this money bank, but he can't act rashly.

Just imagine, if an order is issued to surround Qianzhuang and arrest the proprietor, I am afraid that as soon as the officers and soldiers arrive, countless victims will immediately pour out and fight with the officers and soldiers.

Because in their opinion, it is clear that the court saw that others had made money, and their eyes were red, and they deliberately framed it.

Among these people, there are not only ordinary people, but also many people like Zhang Yi.

Taking someone's money is like killing your parents, isn't this desperate with you?

Seeing Zhang Yi's surprised face, Zhu Qizhen was helpless and asked, "Don't you believe it?" ”

Zhang Yi was speechless, of course he trusted the emperor.

However, from the heart, I could not believe it.

Is that money bank really a liar?

This...... How can it be?

What happens to my silver?

No, they must not be liars, they must be mistaken, could it be that the emperor saw that people made money, even more popular than the stock exchange of the imperial court, ...... What are the prejudices?

Zhang Yi's heart struggled, and then, as Zhu Qizhen expected, like all the victims, began to hypnotize himself.

Well, it must be!

Must be ......

Zhu Qizhen sighed secretly, in fact, this mood is understandable, not to mention that in the Ming Dynasty, even in later generations, many victims, no matter how hard the children and relatives around them persuaded, were still unmoved.

Ponzi schemes seem simple, but to a certain extent, they capture the weakest part of people's hearts.

In the previous life, there were countless such examples, and even if it was explicitly forbidden, people would change their names and make a comeback.

At this moment, Zhu Qizhen was thinking and calculating in his heart, listening to what Zhang Yi said, the number of people who have been deceived now is too much, and it is definitely not the best strategy to directly use force to encircle and suppress it.

Even if the owner of the money bank was arrested, he would bite back, saying that it was deliberately suppressed by the imperial court, which led to the bankruptcy of the money bank and the loss of silver.

By that time, the deceived person will have long lost his mind, and he will definitely be fanned by him, and something bad will happen......

Zhang Yi wanted to speak many times, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.

It can be seen that he is very distressed, on the one hand, he does not want to believe that Longsheng Qianzhuang is a liar, and on the other hand, he feels weak in his heart.

But...... What if it's really a scammer?

Moreover, the emperor insisted that people were liars, and if they were to be seized, the consequences would be unimaginable......

Zhu Qizhen seemed to see his distress, so he said: "Don't worry, I won't order the seizure of this bank, but I want to make a bet with you." ”

Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, a little unable to react, and wondered: "What are you fighting...... Bet? ”

Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "I dare to promise that it will not take ten days...... No, in five days, this money bank will inevitably show its own feet! ”

Zhang Yi looked up, stunned, and then turned his head to look.

Cao Nai has been sitting next to the two of them, and he hasn't spoken for a long time, and at this time he can't help but secretly say in his heart, what do you see I'm doing, I didn't invest money!

Zhang Yi said: "The minister doesn't dare to bet with the emperor......"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's a little gambling pleasure, but ...... Since it's a bet, it's naturally good to have a bet, Cao Qingjia, don't you say? ”

Cao Nai had to nod, but he was inexplicable in his heart, it has nothing to do with me!

Zhang Yi had no choice but to try to ask, "What bet does the emperor want?" ”

Zhu Qizhen already had an idea in his heart, and said: "If there is really a problem with this money bank, I don't want you anything, I just want to ask for a favor for someone, how about it?" ”

Zhang Yi and Cao Nai looked at each other, you are the emperor, you have the final say in this world, and you still need to intercede?

Zhu Qizhen saw that the two of them did not answer, so he continued: "Today's situation, you have also seen it, although Peng Qing and Bei Lin are a little impulsive, and the ways and means of doing things are not considered, but what about ...... After all, there is a reason for this, this ...... Right? ”

The two understood, it turned out that the emperor was interceding for Peng Qing and Bei Lin.

When the officials of the court, the fight in front of the gate of the Shuntian Mansion took the lead in the group fight, the situation of the two of them is very serious, no matter what the result of this eucalyptus is, the simple fight, if the Shuntian Mansion sues the court, then the two of them can bear it.

Zhang Yi sighed helplessly and said, "Your Majesty, today's events have a very bad impact, and they are no longer under the influence of ministers, or ...... Change bets? ”

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while, and then said: "It's better like this, if Shuntianfu doesn't come to complain, you will treat it as if nothing happened, how about it?" ”

Zhang Yi frowned and thought for a moment, and said: "Even if the Shuntian Mansion doesn't come, if the Imperial History of the Imperial Procuratorate is impeached, I'm afraid it will ......."

The profession of imperial history was born specifically for impeachment.

Their only function, and greatest authority, is to impeach others.

In particular, Zhu Yuanzhang once set the ancestral motto, and the imperial history can be heard, that is, as long as you hear about it, regardless of whether it is true or not, you can be impeached.

Zhu Qizhen changed this article and can be impeached, but evidence must be presented.

Otherwise, you will be punished as a guilty of reverse.

In this way, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has stopped a little, but it has only reined in, and as long as they find real evidence, they will be very willing to impeach.

Because the impeachment is right, it is meritorious.

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about the Metropolitan Procuratorate...... Or let's put it another way, as long as the Shuntian Mansion does not report it, and no one in the Metropolitan Procuratorate impeaches, the two of you don't know what to do, is this okay? ”

Zhang Yi looked at Cao Nai, and Cao Nai also looked at Zhang Yi, the two looked at each other, and all they saw in each other's eyes was dazed.

As a cabinet scholar, if something like this happens, you must take care of it.

Otherwise, everyone will fight if they disagree, what kind of system will it become?

But...... The emperor has said everything here, what should I do......

In the end, Zhang Yi had to listen to his scalp and say: "If the Shuntian Mansion is not played, no one in the Metropolitan Procuratorate will impeach, and the ministers will wait...... Don't know ......"

He felt weak in his heart, and after he finished speaking, he peeked at Cao Nai.

After all, he is the first assistant, but now he is betting with the emperor again, so he is entangled......

Cao Nai couldn't hide it, so he had to follow and say, "The minister agrees!" ”

Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "Okay, that's it!" ”

Fan Zhong drove the carriage around and made a detour back to the palace, Cao Nai and Zhang Yi retired and continued to return to Wenyuan Pavilion to be on duty, while Zhu Qizhen came to the imperial study and immediately announced the Tang Dynasty to visit the ancient audience.

At this time, Tang Xinggu's identity is different, it is the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and on weekdays, it is not much better than the six books.

Because he knows very well what he stands for, and that is ...... Whoever the emperor asks me to squirt, I will squirt!

In the past, the imperial history was clear, and people were sprayed regardless of their identity, regardless of the occasion, and even the emperor was even sprayed in a hurry, which was called outspoken and admonished.

There are even some people who catch the emperor for the sake of fame.

This is nothing more than two results, if the emperor is instigated, then you will become famous in one fight, and you will soar in the future.

On the contrary, if the emperor is annoyed and pulls you out to beat the court staff, it will be right in the middle.

Think about it, I am a small seven-rank imperial history, but I am not afraid of power, dare to work against the emperor, how bullish I am!

In the future, when walking on the street, no one can look up at it, give a thumbs up, and praise it for a good job!

Tang Xinggu did this at the beginning, but what he got was not praise, but a big mouth.

That slap seemed to open up his second vein, and then suddenly changed his style, pointing the finger at friendly troops, no matter who it was, as long as he was against the emperor, he would spray, and the firepower was extremely fierce, and ordinary people couldn't spray at all.

In this way, on the contrary, it has been on the rise, and in just three years, the official worships the imperial history of the left capital.

Since Tang Xinggu was in charge of the Imperial Procuratorate, these imperial historians have converged a lot, mainly because the atmosphere has changed, they used to compete against the emperor, but now they are the only ones who are looking forward to the emperor, and what the emperor needs us to do, we will do it.

If you want to say that we can't go to the battlefield, when it comes to tongue warfare, who have we been afraid of?

A moment later, Tang Xinggu hurried over and bowed.

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand, and then asked straight to the point: "What happened in Shuntian Mansion, the Metropolitan Procuratorate should already know, right?" ”

There's no way around it, it's really too big, and it's hard for people to think about it.

Tang Xinggu nodded and said, "Back to the emperor, there is already an imperial history ready to play." ”

Zhu Qizhen said in a deep voice: "You go back and tell the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate that no one is allowed to discuss this case before it is investigated!" ”

Tang Xinggu hesitated for a moment, then immediately reacted and said, "Yes!" ”

Zhu Qizhen said again: "I am not blocking the mouth of the others, the duty of the imperial history is to admonish and do things, but we must seek truth from facts, and we must not act on the wind, or even exaggerate, and reverse black and white, understand?" ”

Tang Xinggu saluted: "The minister understands! ”

"Well, if anyone is interested in this, they can go to Changping, you know, hearing is false, seeing is believing, what is the truth of the matter, you can only know if you go to investigate it yourself."

"Yes!"

-----------------

Wenyuan Pavilion.

Zhang Yi sat in the public room, holding a teacup in his hand, stunned.

The emperor is gone, but he leaves behind a terrible message.

Na Long Sheng Qian Zhuang ...... It turned out to be a liar!

He frowned, his face was uncertain, and he really didn't know the bottom of his heart.

Cao Nai came over, and when he saw his soulless appearance, he couldn't help but say, "Shiqian, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zhang Yi came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing, it's just ...... Thinking about today......"

Of course, Cao Nai knew what he was thinking.

"Didn't the emperor say that he would not seize the money bank, if you invested in the silver, you can take it out now!"

Zhang Yi nodded and said: "Don't hide it from Cao Gong, I have already sent someone to deliver a letter to my home, and asked the dog to get back all the silver thrown in, but I am very puzzled in my heart, the owner of Longsheng Qianzhuang, I have checked it clearly, his net worth is very innocent, and he is indeed a very capable businessman before, with an excellent reputation, and everyone praises him, how can he be a liar?" ”

Cao Nai said: "I also know a little about that Longsheng money village, it is said that many princes and nobles, including hundreds of officials in the court, and countless ordinary people, have invested in silver. If it's really a liar, it's okay if one or two are deceived, and such a big industry really doesn't make sense. ”

Zhang Yi's mood seemed to be soothed a little, and he bowed his head and said: "In this way, the emperor is wrong this time." ”

Cao Nai thought for a while and said, "Why don't you send a note to Shuntian Mansion and ask them to check the details of Longsheng Qianzhuang again?" ”

Zhang Yi waved his hand and said: "Forget it, Shuntianfu is now too busy to take care of itself, besides, if someone keeps going to find out the details of other people, and others know about it, it will inevitably have a bad impact on Qianzhuang." Didn't the emperor say five days, and then he would see. I also want to know now whether the emperor is like a god. ”

Even though he said this, he was still a little uneasy.

Because...... He really invested money!

Think about it, if a hundred taels of silver goes down, there will be an income of five taels of silver every month, and now the silver is not as good as a year, and it will depreciate if you put it in your hand, and there is still a risk in doing business, and such a lucrative place cannot be found with a lantern.

Even if you invest your net worth and life into it, and receive dividends every month, you are naturally very happy.

If this Longsheng Qian Zhuang is a liar, can he still live?

Not only him, but those who invested money, if not 100,000 but also 80,000, were they all deceived?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Let's talk about the matter of Shuntianfu, Cao Gong, what do you think about this?" ”

Cao Nai pondered for a moment and said: "At the scene, I heard that Wu Zhide said very clearly, among the files submitted by Changping County, there were thirteen witnesses' confessions, and there should be no mistakes. ”

Zhang Yi suddenly asked: "What if these witnesses were really coerced and enticed to give false testimony?" You must know that the plaintiff in this lawsuit is a common man, and the defendant is a local squire, not without such a possibility! ”

】

Cao Nai replied: "Your question is just speculation, now we have no real evidence, we can only judge according to the existing situation, and what can be sure now is those confessions." ”

It's not that he doesn't have doubts about this, but doubts are doubts, and the trial has to use evidence to speak after all.

What did the gentry collude with and buy the witnesses...... These are just speculations, who can confirm it?

Since it's a non-existent thing, how can I evaluate it?

Zhang Yi thought for a while, and then said: "What Cao Gong said is extremely true, now we only have guesses, but there is no way to confirm it, it is better to go like this, I will personally go to Wangjiazhuang in Changping." ”

Cao Nai nodded first, and then said, "I'll go, you hurry up and deal with the affairs at home." ”

This is also not explicitly stated, you hurry up and take out your silver, if you are really deceived, how will you live the rest of your life?

"The mundane things at home have their own dogs to cook, Cao Gong is old, and it is inconvenient to travel long distances, so I'll go!"

Zhang Yi's attitude is very resolute, he feels that as a cabinet scholar, he can't always sit at home and listen to others say this and that.

What if the information you get is wrong?

Let's just say that this eucalyptus of Changping, if the crew member was really wronged, from the squire to the prefect, to the prefect, and then to the criminal department, he would not be able to turn over if he became an iron eucalyptus, who would he talk to about his grievances?

If there is no Peng Qing, then is he only a dead end?
