"No, no, it's too risky." Wang Jinghong waved his hand again and refused, "I will not only help you clear up the relationship, but also let His Majesty issue an order to restore your reputation." This matter can be said to be as difficult as heaven! ”

"The younger brother also knows that this matter is extremely difficult, but the only person who can do this in the entire Ming Dynasty is you, Lord Wang." Shen Wansan stretched out a finger, "If Lord Wang is willing to help the junior brother with this, the junior brother is willing to give this number." ”

At this moment, his heart was already clear, if Wang Jinghong really refused to help, he would not have brought up the conversation just now. He said again and again that it was difficult to do, and it was nothing more than wanting greater benefits.

If he still refuses to help, it only proves that he is not paying enough.

Shen Wansan is a veteran of businessmen, and he understands the old saying 'money can be channeled' very thoroughly. One thousand taels of silver can make people take risks, ten thousand taels of silver can make officials flout the law, and one hundred thousand taels of silver can make people dare to trample on everything in the world. Although the emperor is high, if he gives enough money, he can also make him face it.

"This number is not good, I want this number." Wang Jinghong stretched out five fingers.

"Good!" Shen Wansan agreed extremely happily, "After the matter is completed, 500,000 taels of silver will be given immediately." ”

"500,000 taels, I'm afraid it's not enough." Wang Jinghong shook his head and said.

"Five million taels?" Shen Wansan's expression froze. In the past, he bribed court officials, and the specifications were generally thousands of taels, tens of thousands of taels, and tens of thousands of taels were very few. The bribe of 500,000 taels has never been seen before.

And now, Wang Jinghong still thinks that 500,000 taels is not enough?

Can you eat five million taels? Shen Wansan was secretly scolding in his heart: I hadn't seen it before, this person was so greedy.

However, Wang Jinghong shook his head again.

Five million taels is not enough, do you want fifty million taels!? Shen Wansan was stunned. The constant cursing in his heart that this person is simply a huge greed, an unprecedented corrupt official in the Ming Dynasty.

However, in an instant, he calmed down again: "Wang Jinghong will never know that I have so many family properties, and only I know my family property." There must be someone behind him to guide him! Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to offer it. And the notice that mirrored me was clearly done on purpose. It was all the work of the man, who hid in the shadows against me. ”

"No, Wang Jinghong may know my family property. Shen Wang is now in prison, and after being tortured, he may have spoken out. Although Shen Wang doesn't know how much property I have, he knows a rough idea. ”

The greater the changes encountered, the heavier people's suspicions become: "Could it be that Shen Wang has already betrayed me?" Now that he has confessed my family property, maybe he is already biting indiscriminately, saying that he was instructed by me to collude with the remnants of the former Yuan......"

Thinking of this, Shen Wansan was covered in cold sweat and ran down his back.

But now he can only admit it, if he doesn't come up with 50 million taels of silver, he will be implicated immediately, and he will jump into the Yellow River and can't wash it. Maybe he won't wait for the next day, and he will be exterminated by Zhu Yuanzhang.

As the saying goes, the poor do not fight with the rich, and the rich do not fight with the officials.

For today's plan, the only way is to destroy the wealth and eliminate the disaster.

Gritted his teeth: "Okay, Lord Wang, as long as you are willing to help the grass people wash away their grievances, even if the grass people are bankrupt, they will make up enough for you." ”

"Brother Wan San is really amazing! I really got 50 million taels of silver. Wang Jinghong also sighed with emotion after hearing this, "And Brother Shen is also a handsome man in the world, he knows current affairs, and he also has the decisiveness of a strong man to break his wrist, and the younger brother admires and admires it." ”

was ridiculed by Wang Jinghong, and Shen Wansan's face became even more ugly: "Lord Wang, the grass people will go back to raise silver taels." I also hope that Lord Wang will work tirelessly and try his best to help him get out of danger. ”

……

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

At this moment, a cold voice sounded outside.

"The Emperor is here!?" When Shen Wansan heard this, he was instantly shocked.

Soon, Zhu Yuanzhang strode into the door.

"The minister should be King Jinghong of Tianfu, knock to see Your Majesty." Wang Jinghong knelt down and saluted, calmly.

"Grass people Shen Wansan, knock to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!" Shen Wansan also knelt down in a hurry, his forehead was about to touch the floor, his trembling body kept trembling, and he was sweating.

Zhu Yuanzhang is here now, and he obviously already knows about it. He only needs one sentence now to wipe out Shen Wansan's family.

"Flat!" Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly. I couldn't tell whether it was joy or anger in my tone, which made Shen Wansan's heart even more uncertain.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his eyes to Shen Wansan and said, "Shen Wansan." ”

"The grass people are here." Shen Wansan said in a trembling voice.

"I am also an old acquaintance, I remember that last time you helped us build a third of the Jinling city wall, the stones used are the best and most expensive, and you even offered to help us with the army." Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly.

"That was because the grass people were too bold to offend His Majesty's Tianwei at that time, but fortunately, His Majesty did not blame him. His Majesty's grace of innocence has always been remembered by the grass people. Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang mention the old thing, Shen Wansan was even more frightened.

"If you don't count your courage, it only means that you are really rich." Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly, "Although you are worth a lot of money, you shouldn't condone the housekeeper to collude with the remnants of the former Yuan, that is a big crime of the Nine Clans." ”

"Your Majesty, the grass people have been wronged!" Seeing that the time had come, Shen Wansan pouted, knelt down heavily, and shouted loudly, "Everything was done by Shen Wang, the housekeeper of the grass people, and the grass people are completely ignorant of this matter, and please let Your Majesty know it!" ”

"You don't have to cry out." Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly, "You helped us build the city wall before, which proves that you are loyal to us and Daming, and we believe that you have nothing to do with this matter." ”

When Shen Wansan heard this, he suddenly felt like he was listening to the sounds of heaven and being amnesty.

Dong Dong kept kowtowing on the ground, "Your Majesty is really discerning like a torch, discerning loyalty and treachery!" Grass people, grass people are grateful! ”

"It's just that this matter is too implicated, Shen Wang is your housekeeper again, and it has also caused public resentment. If you are not dealt with, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the people of the world and make it difficult for the people to be angry. Zhu Yuanzhang said again.

"Your Majesty, grass people...... Grass Folk ...... Treat unjustly. Shen Wansan's heart sank again. Just now, I was glad to have escaped the catastrophe and reached the peak of joy, but now I have fallen to the bottom again.

"Your Majesty, Shen Wansan is willing to give 50 million taels of silver to the court to show his loyalty to the court." At this time, Wang Jinghong interjected.

Hearing Wang Jinghong say this, Shen Wansan judged that he saw the emperor coming and didn't dare to be greedy, so he excused himself and said that he had contributed to the imperial court. And Shen Wansan also judged the situation on the spot and did not expose Wang Jinghong's 'conspiracy'.

Exposing Wang Jinghong's corruption is definitely looking for death.

"Shen Wansan, is that so?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Yes, yes, yes." Shen Wansan nodded again and again, "Lord Wang is right, 50 million taels of silver are dedicated to the imperial court by the grass people!" ”
