Chapter 17: Damn, I can't run a single one
After disposing of those widows, Zhu Zhanyan only stayed in Xinhewei for two days, and then left for Songjiang Mansion.
In two days, there was the Yangtze River, a major transportation artery, and the old man should have not only received the news a long time ago, but if he wanted to deal with him, he should have sent the order a long time ago.
But after waiting for two days and not waiting for news from Ying Tianlai, Zhu Zhanyan knew that this matter was in the past.
Maybe that doesn't mean he's safe, but at least he's safe until he returns to Yingtian.
As for when to return to Yingtian? That will have to wait until the task given to him by the old man is completed.
But before that, he had to do something else.
Baoshan Institute.
It is located at the junction of the Yangtze River and the sea, which can be said to be the end point of the Yangtze River estuary, and it is also a relatively busy place.
Busy is not prosperous, the business here is more developed, because after the Ming Dynasty started the ocean business, this place closest to Taicang Liujiagang has become the most convenient place that private people can reach.
"Just these six?" Zhu Zhanyan sat on the main seat, crossed Erlang's legs, and looked like a hanger.
However, it was such a nine-year-old child, but no one dared to despise him.
Because, the life and death of the six people who were tied up by the flowers below were only in his thoughts.
"Back to Your Highness, time is in a hurry, and the villain can only find these." Ji Gang lowered his head, his tone was full of respect, and even a little ......
Shiver?
"As a brocade guard, this answer should not have been given by you, the commander, nor is it what I want to know."
Zhu Zhanyan's shaking legs slowly stopped, followed by the cold voice.
"I can also give you two days, and if the time is up and I still can't reach my goal, I will tell the emperor the truth about everything, and ask him to send someone over again."
"Yes......" Ji Gang's tone was not as resolute as before, and some just flinched.
"Your Royal Highness, ...... these people?"
"Still need me to say!?" Zhu Zhanyan, whose tone had just returned to flat, immediately shook Ji Gang's eye knife, and his tone became cold again.
"You are the commander of the Jinyi Guard, in charge of taking people, interrogations and judgments, and you still have to ask me about this kind of thing!?"
"The villain understands!" Ji Gang shook coldly.
It wasn't that he hadn't seen this prince of Han before, but he had never felt such a strong oppressive force on this child.
Not to mention the prince of Han, even the eldest grandson of the emperor, who is often taken by His Majesty's side, does not have this kind of oppressive power.
Six gorgeously dressed people were condemned to fate, and they wailed and begged for mercy with all their might, but Zhu Zhanyan, who could decide their fate, was indifferent.
It wasn't that he was cold-blooded to decide the life and death of these six people, on the contrary, it was precisely because he was full of blood that he made such a decision.
Because what these six people did is really unforgivable.
Zhu Zhanyan had long known that the merchants of the Southeast China Sea had colluded with the Japanese Invaders, but at first he only thought that the merchants and the Japanese Invaders had colluded to make profits by selling grain.
That is, the Japanese came to plunder the people, and then the merchants took advantage of the situation to enter and raise the price of grain, take the opportunity to lend, and make huge profits.
That's right, it's lending, but not money, it's food.
However, after getting to know him, he realized that he was still too kind, because these merchants did more than he imagined!
First of all, it is true that they colluded with the Japanese to loot and then raise the price of grain, which can be regarded as a means of seeking profits, and the merchants who are heavy on profits will naturally not let go, but there is another way for the merchants.
You know, businessmen are not only colluding with pirates, but also officials.
After being plundered by the Japanese pirates, in fact, there are very few ordinary people who still have surplus food at home, but the geographical grain is not yet harvested.
Can the imperial court watch the people starve to death? Obviously, it can't, since it can't, then you can only open a position for disaster relief.
And these businessmen dared to put their minds on these relief foods!!
It's good to be shoddy, because it's a conscience among the merchants, who most often mix sand in their grain! The more daring ones didn't even mix the sand, and just transported the grain away!
This is what Zhu Zhanyan can't bear the most.
This is also the reason why Zhu Zhanyan opened his mouth to rebuke Ji Gang.
The duty of Jinyiwei itself is to inspect hundreds of officials, and he, as the commander of Jinyiwei, didn't even arrest a single official when Zhu Zhanyan had already given a partial list?
Zhu Ling and Zhu stood quietly beside Zhu Zhanyan, without saying a word, and the Baoshan Institute also temporarily regained its calm, as if nothing had happened.
It's just that at this time, there was already a lot of noise in the palace.
At this time, it is not the time of the early dynasty, and it stands to reason that it should not be used here for the Fengtian Gate of the court, let alone make such a noise.
But in fact, the court meeting in the feudal era was not only the early dynasty, for example, during the Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, was going to the court every morning, noon and evening, and his son Zhu Di also continued his father's habits in the early days of succession.
However, not everyone can stand the high-intensity labor, and Zhu Di soon gave up the rule of three dynasties a day and changed it to two or even one day a day.
At this time, it was the time of the noon dynasty.
Looking at the impassioned Chen Ge below, Zhu Di said that he had a headache.
The Ming Dynasty's speech officials could have been said to be unscrupulous, and Chen Ge was even more famous among the speech officials.
Don't say anything powerful, whether it is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion or a military general, whether it is a prince and nobleman or a royal clan, or even the emperor, he dares to write a book of impeachment.
Kill but can't kill, can't manage and can't manage, Zhu Di has a headache for a day or two.
"Your Majesty, Weichen agrees with Chen Ge's opinion!"
Finally waited for Chen Ge to finish speaking, and before Zhu Di could speak, Huang Huai, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, stood up.
Although Huang Huai is not the first assistant of the cabinet, he is also considered to be the top in the Wenyuan Pavilion, and his words still carry weight.
But this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that he is a civil official under the prince's mansion, and he is a staunch princeling.
At present, the prince of the Han Dynasty is killing indiscriminately, which is a good opportunity to attack the King of Han, and he will naturally not let it go.
That is, Zhu Zhanyan is not here, if he is here, he will definitely laugh at this Huang Huai, because although he is old, he is really not outstanding in politics.
It's still the same sentence, look at Yang Rong!
"That's it!" Zhu Di was also impatient with the noise, slammed the armrest of the dragon chair, and shouted angrily.
"Now the grain harvest in Yangzhou, Songjiang and Jiaxing has not been completed, and the Japanese have just been awarded, and everything is prioritized, and everything will wait until the prince of Han comes back!"
After that, Zhu Di got up directly, left Fengtianmen, and left all the officials and princes here.
The civil and military officials looked at each other and were speechless.
