Chapter 117: The arrogance of the Jinyi Guard
This time, the Jinyi Wei ploughed the courtyard and swept the holes, causing a huge panic among the people in the capital.
Because unlike the previous kind of arrest of only big officials, this time the arrest is all small officials and ordinary bookstores.
This made many people mistakenly think that there was something against the world, and they went home to rummage through the cabinets, and destroyed all the things that could be related to the previous dynasty, and some people even tore off the perpetual calendar pasted on the wall during the Yuan Dynasty for the sake of prudence.
However, the process of arresting Jinyiwei continues, and there is no end in sight.
The Wangjia butcher shop on Shangyuan Street is surrounded by people watching the excitement.
Although they were very unhappy with this Wang Er Mazi who was short of catties and short of two pounds and forced to buy and sell, they still couldn't help but wonder when they saw him suddenly arrested by Jinyiwei, what crime did this product commit?
As long as he lacks two pounds and shortages, he won't be targeted by the emperor, right......
There was a well-informed person who immediately came out to explain.
"You don't understand this, right, what is the surname of our emperor of the Ming Dynasty?"
"Zhu!"
"You see that this thing kills pigs every day, but it is not a taboo of the emperor, and it is not a loss to convict him of rebellion!"
"Huh?"
"I won't let you kill pigs, so what should I do if I eat pork in the future?"
"So while you can still buy pork, hurry up and stock up more, lest you can't buy it if you want to buy it in a few days!"
Under the clever flicker, the onlookers suddenly dispersed and went to other streets to buy pork.
Wang Er Mazi also felt that he had been wronged, didn't he just kill a pig, and occasionally look at the little yellow book, which king's law did he violate!
"Master Jun, are you looking for the wrong person, the little one really hasn't broken the law, why are you arresting me!"
Jin Yiwei smashed a golden plum bottle that he had found out of his room in the face.
"You didn't buy this book!"
"Yes!"
"It took me 300 miles, and I had to sell dozens of catties of pork to earn it back, and I was so distressed!"
"But this book is really good, especially that Pan Jinlian, tsk......"
Wang Er Mazi was suddenly stunned when he said this.
"Master Jun, the little one takes the liberty of asking, have we Daming also broken the law by reading the script?"
"It's not illegal to read the script, but it's a violation of the royal law to look at the imitation script!"
"Take it away!"
"Take away the tools of the crime again!"
"Okay!"
As soon as Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi's words fell, several Jinyi Weilux immediately understood and happily carried away half of the pork on the meat case.
After Wang Er Mazi was arrested, his accomplice Wang Xiaoer at Cai Ji Restaurant was also approached by Jinyiwei.
"You are Wang Xiaoer?"
"Yes...... yes......"
"Your incident has happened!"
Wang Xiaoer was directly frightened when he heard this.
"Master Jun, the little one really didn't rebel, the small one took a kickback from Wang Er's Mazi Butcher Shop, and then took him two catties of lard every month, this crime won't trouble the noble military masters of Jinyiwei, right?"
"It's not that, it's the one you look at the imitation book!"
"What kind of imitation book?"
Jin Yiwei took out a copy of the imitation gold bottle plum that had been rolled up from his arms, and took the book and slapped this guy's face.
"This is it!"
"People get stolen goods!"
"Take it away!"
Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi was just about to leave with the prisoner, but Jinyi Weili hurriedly reminded.
"Head!"
"What do you say about this family's crime tools?"
Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi looked at the plaque of Cai Ji Restaurant and thought about it.
"Then seal the restaurant, this will be the property of His Royal Highness the Three Emperors in the future!"
"Okay!"
The owner of Cai Kee Restaurant never thought that he would put the restaurant in because a guy read an imitation book......
Three days later, Zhu Yunxi saw the battle report handed over by Jinyiwei, and only felt a sweat on his back.
In just three days, they arrested 13 officials, seized 34 bookstores, 24 restaurants, 300 tea shops, butcher shops, and silk villages......
Xu Liuzi saw the surprised expression of His Royal Highness the Third Emperor Sun, and asked unknowingly.
"His Royal Highness the Third Emperor Sun, do you think it's okay for this case to be handled like this?"
When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he was so angry that he scolded.
"Satisfied with your size!"
"You are going to put me in a pit of death, if you let the imperial grandfather know about this, you have to drop me on the beam of the house and beat me to death!"
Xu Liuzi waited for Zhu Yunxi's praise with great anticipation, but he didn't expect to wait for a burst of reprimand, and he was wronged so much that he didn't want it.
"Your Highness, didn't you say that whoever dares to steal your book will be arrested and put in the Jinyi Guard prison, skinned him, pumped his tendons, and hung him on the beam of the house to bleed......"
"We just arrested people on your orders, and we haven't done anything else......"
When Zhu Yunxi heard Xu Liuzi say this, he couldn't wait to shake his mouth a few times.
Why is his mouth so cheap, he has nothing to learn from that bad old man!
However, through this incident, he understood why Zhu Yuanzhang in history banned Jinyiwei before he died.
This thing is a double-edged sword, once it is not managed well, it can break into a big basket for you.
It's just a small case of copying a printed book, and they can arrest thousands of people for you. If this is committed by my uncle and grandfather, I can't stop it without tens of thousands of people.
"I'm wrong!"
"I apologize to you Jinyiwei, I said the wrong thing and made you misunderstand!"
When Xu Liuzi saw Zhu Yunxi say this, he hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty.
"Your Highness is right, it's the little ones who will be wrong."
"Then now that the people have been arrested and the store has been sealed, what should Your Highness do?"
"Alas......"
Zhu Yunxi sighed, looked at Xu Liuzi helplessly, and his heart was full of broken thoughts.
The reason why Jiang Zhen asked Xu Liuzi to come over to report the results of the case was to test Zhu Yunxi's thoughts.
If Zhu Yunxi is very satisfied, then there is nothing to say, if you should copy your home, you will copy your home, and if you should kill your head, you will kill your head.
If Zhu Yunxi feels that they have gone too far, then they also have a remedy.
They have a focus on handling the case this time, that is, to let Zhu Yunxi know their loyalty and respect for Jinyiwei!
Zhu Yunxi was depressed for a while before he spoke again.
"All the shops involved in the case, those not directly involved in the case will be returned, and no nuisance is allowed!"
"For copy-printed book-printing workshops and bookstores that sell copy-printed books, it is sufficient to give a penalty of five times the value of the case."
When Xu Liuzi heard that the punishment was so light, he couldn't help muttering in a low voice.
"Your Highness, you are too benevolent, why don't you be punished fifty times?"
Zhu Yunxi glared at Xu Liuzi, and Xu Liuzi was so frightened that he immediately shut up.
"Anyone who buys imitation books will also be fined a few taels of silver and let them go!"
"By the way, do you Jinyiwei have the right to fine?"
Xu Liuzi shook his head when he heard this.
"Back to His Royal Highness, Jinyiwei only has the right to arrest people, raid homes, and torture, but not the right to fine."
Seeing Xu Liuzi say this, Zhu Yunxi frowned and thought about it.
"Then put it another way, sell them the genuine book at five times the price, and let them sign the subscription book that they voluntarily purchased!"
Xu Liuzi immediately gave a thumbs up when he heard this, and smiled sheepishly.
"Your Highness is wise, the little one knows what to do, hehehehe......"
As soon as Zhu Yunxi sent Xu Liuzi away with his front foot, the second tiger came in with his back foot.
In fact, Erhu also felt that Jiang Zhen had done a bit too much, and there were too many people involved. In particular, it also involves a lot of officials, which is simply digging a pit for His Royal Highness!
The second tiger now hates Jiang Zhen to death, and he can't wait to find someone to kill him in the middle of the night, just arrest a few businessmen, how can he still go to poke the hornet's nest of civil officials!
"Your Highness, Jin Yiwei has also arrested more than a dozen officials, how do you plan to deal with these people?"
Zhu Yunxi only felt a headache when he heard this, this group of things that were not enough to do things and had more than bad things were really going to kill themselves.
"Uncle Tiger, is there a list?"
"Yes!"
Erhu took out a list from his sleeve and handed it over, and Zhu Yunxi only glanced at it before jumping down from the chair in fright.
"Huang Zicheng?"
"Why did you catch this thing!"
Zhu Yunxi didn't know much about history, and he happened to have an impression of Huang Zicheng.
In history, Zhu Yunwen cut the feudal domain, just listened to the words of this guy.
Now that Jinyiwei has arrested this goods, when this goods will take power in the future, he will not be the first to take the knife on himself.
"Where is Huang Zicheng locked up by you, hurry up and take me over to see!"
"No!"
On the way to Fusi in Beizhen, Zhu Yunxi asked Erhu nervously.
"Uncle Tiger, Grandpa Huang doesn't know about this, right?"
"I shouldn't know, Jiang Zhen is quite smart, and he turned out an old case against the book and reported it from the beginning."
When Zhu Yunxi heard Erhu say this, the stone hanging in his heart was finally put down.
"That's good...... But I must not let the imperial grandfather know, or the old man will kill me......"
"Your Highness, no one on Jinyiwei's side will dare to talk much, I'm afraid of the civil officials' side, this time Jiang Zhen has arrested a lot of civil officials, and I don't know if I will stab the hornet's nest on the civil officials' side."
"If they write a letter to impeach His Highness, then His Highness will be unlucky!"
"Ahh
Zhu Yunxi said viciously when he heard this.
"Damn Jiang Xuan!"
"If I get beaten this time, I'll have to beat him back!"
When Zhu Yunxi was full of broken thoughts, Erhu seemed a little worried.
This time Jiang Zhen went too far, if the emperor just beat the young master, it would be a good thing. I am afraid that the emperor will listen to the slander and have a dislike for the young master, and hate the young master from then on......
