MTL - Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty-Chapter 108 culprit
"Da Ming Zhengde Emperor New ( Find the latest chapter!
Inside the West Factory prison.
There were bursts of cursing and screams, incessantly.
"We didn't violate the law of Ming Dynasty, why are you arresting us!"
"We don't agree, we're going to play and sue the imperial court!"
"We are innocent people of Ming Dynasty, why do you want to arrest us?"
Two or three hundred merchants shouted loudly.
Not long after, Liang Chu, the minister of households, came to the prison with his hands behind his back.
"What? You don't agree? You want to sue?"
"Bribery of court officials, price gouging, each of which is a capital offense!"
"If you want people to know nothing, unless you do nothing for yourself, don't you know what you did? Don't pretend to be wrong here!"
"Say, who on earth did you instruct you to do this behind your back?"
Those giants looked at Liang Chu up and down, and showed no signs of fear. In their eyes, they were rich, and only senior officials of the court were qualified to ask questions, and the old man in front of him was definitely not a high-ranking official in the court.
"If you don't say it, then I'll leave. To tell you the truth, no one can save you."
"When you do things in the court, you have to pay attention to evidence, right? Did any of you see us bribing officials in the court?"
Liang Chu seemed to have known for a long time that these merchants were in tandem and colluded to confess, so he hid the accounts in his long sleeves early, but now it came in handy.
"The imperial court's Jinyiwei is not for vegetarians." Liang Chu put the account of the account high above the country's head, and the merchants were stunned.
"What, what do you have to say now?"
There was a trace of panic in the eyes of the merchants, but having money can make people tough, and they quickly pretended to be calm and said, "No one instructed us to do this, everything is because the abominable court forced me to wait. Do this, we can only do this!"
Liang Chu laughed, and then said coldly: "Humph! It seems that you don't shed tears without seeing the coffin. You have all heard about Cao's methods. Since everyone has discussed it, the old man will only go this time. Come on in vain, you should take care of yourself!"
After Liang Chu finished speaking, he was ready to get up and leave.
Suddenly, someone in the cell saw that the situation was not good. Maybe this Liang Chu could save his life, but he couldn't let this savior leave. Anyway, he died. First line of life.
"Master Liang, we said, we said that someone was secretly giving us benefits, saying that as long as we drive up prices, they promise to give us benefits."
When Liang Chu heard the words, he paused, and Zhu Houzhao instructed him that if he was bored, these people must be beheaded. Since they said it, he would save a lot of trouble.
"My lord, it's Shen Wanqian from the No. 1 Village in the World. He wants us to destroy His Majesty's new business tax rate order as soon as possible, so that he can profit from it."
Hearing this, Liang Chu was slightly shocked, but he felt that this matter was very strange. Aren't the owners of the first village in the world, Shangguan Haitang, and the richest man in the world, Shen Wanqian?
Why, will their souls be resurrected?
"Is this true?" Liang Chu thought for a long time in his heart.
"Hmph, don't deceive the old man, the old man still knows that Shen Wanqian was bombarded to death a few days ago, how could he secretly encourage you to do such a thing? Hahaha, you really treat the old man as a three-year-old child. ." After speaking, Liang Chu flung his sleeves and walked outside the cell.
"My lord, what we said was true all the time. Then Shangguan Haitang would be able to disguise herself. It wasn't her who died of bombardment before... Sir, what we said was true..."
Liang Chu also didn't want to compete with these people. When he said that they were driving up prices, it was a capital crime, and he wanted to hope that His Majesty could bypass them.
However, the last words of those merchants deeply shocked Liang Chu's heart. This first village in the world is really terrible. There are so many experts in various industries in it.
His Majesty quickly reported this matter to His Majesty and asked His Majesty to make up his mind.
Liang Chu left the prison, and Cao Zhengchun just arrived.
The minister of household, Liang Chu, appeared in the Hall of Mental Cultivation with a confession.
In Nuoda's Hall of Mental Cultivation, Liang Chu bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, this minister has found out that the culprit of this price gouging is Shen Wanqian from the No. 1 village in the world!"
Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao stared at Liang Chu slightly, and said in a low voice: "A businessman in a mere ricochet jumps like this. There must be someone behind him. This is the number one village in the world, isn't it..."
Zhu Houzhao thinks of a person, yes! That beautiful Shangguan Haitang, he was drunk that day, and he seemed to have done something he shouldn't have done...
However, the Shangguan Haitang was said to have left the palace later, and Cao Zhengchun also said that she was dead. All these questions appeared in Zhu Houzhao's mind.
Liang Chu seemed to have seen Zhu Houzhao's question. As a courtier, he was good at figuring out the king's mind, which was a skill.
"Your Majesty, as far as this minister knows, there are hidden masters in this No. 1 Village in the World. A few days ago, the West Factory led someone to bombard the No. 1 Village in the World, but Shangguan Haitang was good at disguising, and she disguised herself with Shen Wanqian long ago. After escaping the No. 1 Village in the World, they all hid in the Iron Mansion, and this price gouging incident was originally the idea of these people."
After Zhu Houzhao heard it, he laughed and said, "Shen Wanqian, he really has such courage to go against me?"
Liang Chu did not dare to give a positive answer without authorization.
Right now, the Tiedan Shenhou is still living in the capital, and the personal relationship between this Tietian Shenhou and Shen Wanqian is quite close.
As for whether Shen Wanqian wanted to hit a stone with an egg, or was he a brave warrior who wanted to challenge the imperial power? The meaning behind this is hard to judge.
Once he made a slight mistake, the consequences were far beyond what he could bear as a small minister of the household.
"Tell Jin Yiwei Shen Lian to thoroughly investigate this matter!"
"Until it is clear that this matter has something to do with the Tie-Dao Shen Hou, don't act rashly. After all, he is my uncle, and I don't want to affect the relationship between the royal clansmen because of this!"
"The minister obeys the order!"
Hearing this, Liang Chu bowed and said hesitantly, "Then, Your Majesty, what are the prices around the capital?"
Zhu Houzhao looked at Liang Chu, which made Liang Chu feel a little embarrassed. Zhu Houzhao said solemnly: "As the minister of the household, if this matter is not handled well, your seat should be vacated."
"Since the matter has been clarified, the price should be brought down as soon as possible. This matter cannot be slowed down!"
"The minister obeys the order!"
Liang Chu bowed and answered Zhu Houzhao, but did not intend to quit.
Zhu Houzhao glanced at him and said, "Why, I didn't say it clearly enough?"
"No, Your Majesty, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not?"
"Okay~www.novelbuddy.com~ Say it!"
Words of the Son of God. Sharp and decisive.
Liang Chu bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, apart from the price, this minister has seen the tax collected by the imperial court in the recent period of time. Compared with the previous period, it has been greatly improved. The accumulation of this period of time has exceeded the previous one. The sum of half a year, but this money has been accumulated in the treasury, I am afraid it is not a good thing."
"If it goes on like this, it will affect the foundation of Daming."
Zhu Houzhao felt that Liang Chu's proposal was very good, and said indifferently, "You don't have to worry about this, I have my own solution."
"From now on, we must stabilize the overall situation, this is the key!"
Liang Chu bowed his hands and exited from the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
