Chapter 455: By the way, reveal the news that I am alive to the East Palace
He didn't show up at all, and directly handed over the matter to Feng Wu,
Don't look at Feng Wu who is often teased by Tie Zhu and others in private, but he follows Feng Lisheng all the year round, and he is very capable of handling both his rank and ability, and it is more than enough to clean up a Jin family.
In less than a day, all the Jin family members were arrested and imprisoned, and everything that should be tried and investigated was clearly investigated.
At dusk, Feng Wu came back with a thick stack of confessions.
"Your Highness, not to mention other crimes such as monopolizing the market by the common people, my subordinates have interrogated Jin Caiwang, the master of the Jin family, and tried some important news."
Feng Lisheng put down the book, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it about the backer behind the Jin family?" β
Feng Wu nodded: "Yes, although the Jin family has always been a big businessman in Qingyun County, it is no different from ordinary businessmen before this. Until more than ten years ago, Jin Caiwang took over the family business, and his brain was smarter than his parents.
Although Qingyun County looks remote, it can be backed by the mountains, the climate is warm, there are not only many rare woods here, but there are countless precious herbs in the mountains. However, because the place is too remote, things can only be sold layer by layer, for example, a rare herb can be sold for hundreds of taels in the capital, but the original price is less than twenty taels.
Jin Caiwang used these to deal with some officials in Fucheng and joined forces, through layers of middlemen, and sold these things at a high price, and he only took 10% of the money he earned, and the only requirement was to help his son Jinbao get fame.
Fraud in scientific research is a capital crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, these people naturally did not agree at first, but the wealth is moving, and they taste the sweetness of quick money, how can they be willing to let go? So Jinbao "smoothly" passed the Tongsheng, Xiucai, and even lifted. β
Speaking of this, Feng Wu clenched his fists angrily, he is also from a poor family, for many poor students, the scientific examination is their only shortcut to change their fate,
Because there is a harsh sentencing ahead, at this point, the Great Xia Kingdom has always done a good job.
However, in the corners that people can't see, some bad habits seem to be spreading little by little.
He couldn't help but think of what His Highness had said:
"A dynasty to a certain extent, in the promotion of the situation of all parties, it will be extremely prosperous and decline, today's Great Xia seems to be prosperous, but after the first emperor in the later period of the succession set off by the partisan dispute, resulting in the court almost broken bones, although the imperial brother after the throne efforts to rectify the rule of officials, but some maladministration has been formed, if let go, the Great Xia Kingdom from prosperity to decline is a matter of time.
If we want Daxia to go on in the long run, we must push through the old and bring forth the new, and introduce a new policy in the next 20 years. Throughout the dynasties, the new coup d'Γ©tat law has always been accompanied by bloody storms, such as the Shang Dynasty reform law during the Qin Dynasty.
Therefore, the selection of the next emperor is very important, not too modest, not self-serving, decisive enough to kill and at the same time have the ability to govern the country. β
Retracting his thoughts and looking at Feng Lisheng with a calm expression, he sighed in his heart.
He has been by His Highness's side for so many years, although His Highness usually doesn't like to talk much, but this time when they met, although His Highness behaved as usual, the brothers obviously felt the alienation of His Highness.
When I asked, I found out that His Highness really had amnesia.
Feng Lisheng asked him, "What else did he do?" β
Feng Wu was a little relieved, although His Highness had forgotten the past, his brain was still so good.
He turned the confession to the last two pages: "In addition, Jin Caiwang and the people of the East Palace are also connected. β
When Feng Lisheng heard this, he directly took the confession in his hand.
"Three years ago, Ye Chentuo contacted him and wanted to buy a large amount of sulfur saltpeter, so Jin Caiwang asked his people to find it, and he really found a large saltpeter mine on a barren mountain hundreds of miles away in Qingyun County."
After speaking, he couldn't help but ask: "The prince wants these sulfur saltpeters to make gunpowder?" But I always feel that it doesn't make sense. β
In this era of cold weapons, although people have invented gunpowder and derived simple versions of firearm grenades, due to technical limitations, people prefer to strengthen bows and crossbow weapons in war.
And it seems that the other party needs a lot of money, which is a bit unreasonable.
Feng Lisheng waved his hand: "Left is not used on the battlefield,
By the way, reveal the news that I am alive to the East Palace. β
Feng Wu thought about it for a moment and understood its intention: "Your Highness wants to force the crown prince to take the initiative?" β
Feng Lisheng stood up, glanced at the sky, calculated that it was time for Shen Mingjiao to eat, and thought about what to cook tonight, and said casually: "This matter has been delayed for too long, it is better for everyone to solve it as soon as possible." With that, he went straight to the kitchen.
Tuliu Feng Wu shook her head and sighed on the spot, she had to urge Imperial Physician Wu to think of a way to make His Highness recover his memory, if this continued, he was afraid that the God of War General who had planned in their hearts would change his career to become a cook!
β¦β¦
In order to recover to the best state as soon as possible, Shen Mingjiao strictly followed the doctor's instructions in the past few days, eating, sleeping and sleeping, coupled with various acupuncture and moxibustion conditioning, and finally on the morning of the fourth day, Doctor Wu announced that she was recovering very well.
Pushing open the door, I saw a slightly chubby woman sitting next to the bed, after a few days of pulling out the poison, Yaya is almost the same every day, and now the spots on her face have basically disappeared, and her body is losing weight at a speed visible to the naked eye. The contours of the whole person's facial features are also revealed, and this face gradually coincides with the sister in the memory.
Until now, Shen Mingjiao still feels unreal, she has been looking for her sister for so many years in her previous life, and she found it by such a coincidence in this life!
The witch doctor opened the medicine box and began to prepare to bring back the tools to be used, and the maid grabbed Shen Mingjiao's hand in fear.
Xu Chunsheng stretched out his slender and good-looking hand and touched her head comfortingly: "Or I'll stay!" β
Physician Wu mercilessly refused: "Your stay here will affect us. β
Looking at the bright silver needles, although Yaya was also scared, she still smiled at Xu Chunsheng and waved her hand: "Husband is waiting for me outside, when I am ready, I want to eat three fresh dumplings." β
Xu Chunsheng didn't say anything more, and left obediently, but didn't go far, just stood quietly at the door of the room, ensuring that he could rush in as soon as possible if there was an accident.
In the house, after everything was ready, Shen Mingjiao stared at Yaya's eyes quietly, until his ignorant eyes became dull, and the witch doctor began to administer the needle.
