Chapter 288: Huai'an is happy, father and son are the same.

Unlike what many people think, there are actually differences in copying homes.

Many people understand that raiding is "raiding the house and destroying the door", but the focus of some raiding is actually "copying", and it is more common to suspect that someone is stealing prohibited things by someone instead.

In response to the accumulated crimes committed by Ye Rongtian, this time it actually belongs to the latter.

Ye Rongtian's money bank involved "unjust enrichment", but the bank's bank only had a little kiln silver, so it was necessary to confiscate Ye Rongtian's property.

As early as when the Supreme Council was held, Zhu Youzhu had already set the tone, and this time he wanted to set a model by taking out several money banks with important problems.

Now Ye Rongtian has committed all kinds of evil deeds in order to meet his perverted psychological needs, coupled with the public opinion of the people in the capital, he is naturally the object of "care".

There may be some disagreements about the other families, but in the face of Ye Rongtian and his Ye family's money bank, all the important ministers agreed to raid them.

Zhu Youzhu saw that this was the unanimous proposal of the three departments, and it was naturally impossible to forgive Ye Rongtian's crime because of Ye Qi, so he agreed with a wave of his hand.

"The emperor is wise!"

"I want to see how much money the Ye family has made over the years!"

"Ye Shilang's official reputation is actually quite good, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you!"

……

With the news of the raid on the Ye family, it also caused some hostility from the indignant youth, but some people believed that Ye Qi was a good and honest official.

In addition to Ye Yingtian, there are also Changsheng Qianzhuang in Huichang Houfu and Jingsheng Qianzhuang in Zhoujing, etc., which are the key personnel and money villages that the imperial court will investigate next.

After Zhu Youzhu saw the incident derived from the investigation of 100 money banks and pawnshops, he knew that he had taken the right step, and he could smoothly build a healthier financial system by rolling people's heads.

April of the second year of Hongji is approaching, and it is destined to be a month with a lot of heads.

Because Ye Qi, the original left attendant of the household department, left office and returned to Nanzhili, Ye Rongtian has also returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors because of the Qingming Festival.

Even if Zhu Youzhu issued a decree to copy the family, this decree could not be carried out immediately.

It's just that there is already a very rigorous process for copying the family in this era, and when the holy decree is issued, the various yamen have been running rapidly.

The Jiangnan in April is picturesque, and the boats coming and going on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal running through the north and south are like the best portrayal of the prosperity of this era.

South Zhili, Huai'an City.

This is the famous Han Canal in history, which forms the most important canal line with Yangzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou, and is very prosperous because of the residence of the Caoyun Governor's Palace.

The current governor of Caoyun, Zhou Nai, is over fifty years old, obese, fair-skinned, and looks very friendly when he smiles, giving people a very decent feeling.

It's just that now the Ming officialdom is full of masked people, and the more decent the officials, the more traitorous they are.

Zhou Nai was letting the maid tidy up her clothes with her hands open, but she suddenly said lightly to the housekeeper: "Are the gifts prepared this time?" ”

"Master, inside the gift box is a piece of jade worth a lot, and there is a deposit note of 20,000 silver coins below, but is it too much this time?" The housekeeper held the gift box and looked a little puzzled.

Zhou Nai enjoyed the touch of the maid touching his body, but asked disdainfully: "Do you think that a left waiter of the household who has been ordered to pay attention is not worth such a cost?" ”

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from my lord! Ye Qi was ordered to be a minister because of his ineffective work, and now the saint is a practical emperor, so Ye Qi is afraid that there will be no day to recover! The housekeeper first complimented him, and then carefully analyzed it.

Even when they were in the place, they were trying to figure out the emperor of the Forbidden City, so as to establish themselves as the emperor's favorite type of courtier.

Zhou Nai patted the buttocks of one of the maids, and then prepared to go to the banquet and said: "Water is impermanent, people are normal, who can guarantee that Ye Qi really will not recover?" No matter how bad Ye Qi is, but people have a relationship in the court after all, even if they don't expect him to help him in the future, it's a good thing to help thread the needle! ”

After all, he stayed in the capital, although the emperor's preferences are very important, but more important is the protection of officials in the officialdom. The reason why officials like Ma Wensheng, who committed crimes earlier, were able to rise in the new dynasty is mainly because they have people in the imperial court.

Now Ye Qi is certainly losing power, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be a day of recovery, after all, people are already in the inner circle in the capital. If it weren't for meeting such an emperor who loved to toss, the throne of Hubu Shangshu would definitely belong to Ye Qi.

"The old man is wise!" The housekeeper saw that his master was so open-minded, and even complimented.

The Ye Mansion in the east of the city has been lit up, and it looks so lively.

Although Ye Qi has retired from the court, he is still an unattainable existence in the eyes of local officials and gentry. Although today is only the day when Ye Qi takes a concubine, everyone has also given enough face and came to congratulate each other with gifts.

Ye Qi learned that Zhou Nai, the governor of Caoyun, had arrived, so he personally greeted him from inside.

He is already in his sixties, he has lost a few teeth, and he is smiling in a groom's dress at the moment, but he has a bit of a monkey and a crown.

Since Zhishi's return, he has focused on the Humble Administrator's Garden built outside the city, and now he is suddenly interested in accepting a concubine.

Ye Qi can be said to be in good spirits on happy occasions, and came to the door to greet him warmly: "Governor Zhou is here, if you miss the welcome, please forgive your sins!" ”

"Ye Shilang, where is this, congratulations!" Although Zhou Nai despised this old man who married a seventeen-year-old girl, he still smiled and gave it up.

Ye Qi naturally didn't know the disdain in Zhou Nai's heart, so he warmly invited: "Governor Zhou, please inside!" ”

"This is a little bit of the lower official's heart, please smile!" Zhou Nai gave the butler a look and smiled quietly.

Ye Qi knew that this Caoyun governor had made a lot of oil and water, so he had always been generous, so he smiled brightly and said, "Hehe...... That's disrespectful! ”

The housekeeper of the Ye Mansion knew that this was a generous gift, so he carefully put it away.

"Your Majesty has seen the Governor!" Ye Qi led Zhou Nai to the first table, and the Huai'an prefect and other officials who had already arrived left the table to salute.

Zhou Nai's title is the title of the right capital of the Zhengsanpin Imperial Palace, plus he is also the governor of Fengyang and other places, so he is naturally the highest official in the locality.

Because of the integration of Caoyun and the river now, Zhou Nai also serves as the governor of the river, although the power is not as strong as the governor of Xuanda, but he is the most oily governor.

Facing the salute of a group of familiar officials, Zhou Nai returned the salute very politely: "Everyone, there is no need to be polite, please take a seat!" ”

"Governor Zhou, you take a seat first!" Huai'an prefect Sun Chong and other officials naturally did not sit down, and invited respectfully.

It's just that there is a discordant scene here, a middle-aged man's ass seems to be on the handle of a chair, and he is sullenly drinking there.

Hey?

Zhou Nai saw that Ye Qi's son was so ignorant of the rules, although he knew that Ye Qi was very doting on his son, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Huai'an prefect Sun Chong and other officials exchanged glances with understanding, but they observed Ye Qi silently.

When Ye Qi saw his son like this, he immediately scolded angrily: "Go back to your own yard, don't want to embarrass Lao Tzu here!" ”

Ye Rongtian had been drinking himself here just now, and now he was a little drunk, he glanced at Ye Qi, and then walked towards the inner room with the wine jug.

Hey?

Zhou Nai saw the back of Ye Rongtian leaving, and faintly felt that something was wrong.

"Governor Zhou, please take a seat!" As if nothing had happened, Ye Qi invited Zhou Nai to sit down.

Zhou Nai is a person in the officialdom after all, and the city still has this, and the whole person sat down as if nothing had happened.

Ye Qi just sat down, and when he saw Ye Rongtian walking towards his new house, he immediately chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly followed without saying hello to Zhou Nai.

People of any era are indispensable to have a gossip heart, Ye Qi just left here, and Sun Chong, the prefect of Huai'an, explained everything directly to Zhou Nai.

Ye Qixinna's Mrs. Ru is not a woman from a good family, but a woman from a green house in Huainan Building.

It is said that after Ye Qi came back from his resignation, he was not old after all, and secretly walked around the Qinglou, and even fell in love with a Qinglou woman named Biyu.

It was such a coincidence, Ye Rongtian, who had just returned from the capital, didn't know about his father and Jasper, which caused Ye's father and son to fall in love with this Qinglou woman at the same time.

Just when Ye Rongtian was about to marry and go home, he was told that his father had taken the lead, and the woman who was still lingering last night became his little mother.

Although the Ye family tried their best to hide this matter, where could they resist the gossip of the people of Huai'an, so this matter was already an open secret.

Zhou Nai learned what happened, and saw that Ye Qi was pulling out Ye Rongtian's ear, and thought that there might be other peachy things in the future, and his smile suddenly became unprecedentedly bright.

"Master, if a distinguished guest is visiting, I'm afraid you have to go and greet you in person!" The butler suddenly hurried over and reported with great joy.

Hey?

Huai'an prefect Sun Chong and other officials couldn't help but look at each other, and now they can be said to be the most dignified officials in the entire Huai'an City, how can there be people who need Ye Qi to greet them?

Ye Qi sat on the first seat, but the same thought swelled up, and he said in a somewhat arrogant tone: "Who? How do you want the old man to greet him? ”

"Master, the Nanjing garrison eunuch!" The housekeeper immediately reported the other party's origin.

Ye Qi couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then said with confusion: "Wang Zhi? How did this eunuch run from Nanjing City? ”

"Ye Shilang, Wang Zhi has been transferred to the Southern Wilderness, and the current Nanjing garrison eunuch is Qin Conggui, the old man of the East Palace!" Huai'an prefect Sun Chong's eyes lit up slightly, and he corrected.

The old man of the East Palace?

Ye Qi learned that it was not the eunuch Wang Zhi who everyone shouted and beaten, but a eunuch from the hidden mansion, and thought that he might be able to return to the court through this line, so he hurriedly got up.

"Let's go, let's go and meet each other together!" Zhou Nai's mind was also active, and he invited other officials to say.

Huai'an prefect Sun Chong and other officials all had this thought, so they followed Zhou Nai out to greet each other.

Although they are all insignificant local officials, who doesn't want to climb up? If they can hug the thick thighs of this eunuch, once this eunuch returns to the capital, maybe they will be able to soar.

An army armed with firearms appeared here, since Wang Zhi served as the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison, the Nanjing Shenji Battalion seemed to be reborn, and it was resolutely the strongest combat force in the south of the Yangtze River.

Qin Cong, who was wearing a betta suit, came from Guixingshi, and when he walked into the gate of Yefu, he saw a large number of gifts piled up in the front yard, and glanced at the list of gifts recorded.

Ye Qi and a group of officials had already hurried out from inside, and immediately said like a spring breeze: "Father-in-law Qin, what kind of wind is blowing you over?" The old man has a distant welcome, and please forgive the sin! ”

"Ye Shilang, it's just a concubine, can you do it so grandly?" Qin Conggui picked up the thick roster, and looked smiling and smiling.

Hey?

Zhou Nai originally thought that Qin Conggui and Ye Qi were old acquaintances, but seeing the conversation between the two, it didn't seem to be the case.

Ye Qi felt that the other party seemed to have bad intentions, but he still chose to laugh and said: "Originally, it was not grand, but the arrival of Gonggong Qin, even if it is not grand, it has become grand!" ”

Although the other party is not good, the other party is the person he wants to tie up after all, and he still greets him with a smile.

Qin Conggui looked at the little old man in front of him deeply, remembering that this official who was still a Qingliu official in the capital seemed to be a different person now.

It's just that now I only have the emperor in my heart, and now I only have the emperor.

Qin Conggui didn't care whether the other party was doing a happy event or a funeral, and said honestly: "What you said is wrong!" The miscellaneous family has arrived, and your Ye family can't be grand if you want to! ”

"Father-in-law Qin, what do you mean by this?" Ye Qi didn't expect that his hot face was sticking to his cold ass, but the clay people had three points of fire, and immediately said with a straight face.

Zhou Nai and the others couldn't help but look at each other, and their eyes were also full of confusion.

If it is forgivable to say that Ye Rongtian made trouble, but the one in front of him is clearly a eunuch, why did he still come over to fight for the wind and be jealous?

"The miscellaneous family came to raid the house by order!" Qin Conggui met everyone's puzzled gazes, and his words were surprisingly authentic.

Yes?

As soon as these words came out, Sun Chong, the prefect of Huai'an, and other officials were all stunned, and looked at the young eunuch in front of them in disbelief.

When Zhou Nai learned of the other party's intention, he said suspiciously: "Father-in-law Qin, you're not joking, are you?" ”

"Are the miscellaneous family idle or what? Have time to come all the way from Nanjing City to joke here? Listen to the order! Qin Conggui stopped talking nonsense, and immediately took out a bright yellow holy decree.

As soon as these words came out, everyone knew that the Ye family was already in a catastrophe, and they knelt respectfully in front of Qin Conggui.

Ye Qi didn't expect that great joy would turn into great sorrow, even if he still had the heart to listen to the holy decree, his eyes suddenly darkened, and the whole person fell to the ground, just hoping that all this was just a nightmare.
