Chapter 1300 Insufficient greed, wet shoes by the river(1/2)

Congratulations to book friends: "Lu Traveler Side Peak" becomes the 33rd leader of this book!

Thank you leader!

...

In the early morning, all the officials happened to be on the road.

Recently, Zhu Di liked to listen to politics at the Imperial Gate of Fengtian Palace. While listening to politics, he watched the craftsmen dig holes and bury iron sticks on the ground of Fengtian Palace.

The weather was already very cold, and the officials riding horses made their noses red from the wind, and their faces were gone.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty did not lack horses at all. The horses in the north had been abolished by Zhu Di, and all the war horses needed were purchased from the grassland.

As for sedan chairs, even civil servants have to go to the north to go to the north these days. Do you still want to sit in sedan chairs?

A series of officials were walking on horseback with their necks shrank. When they were about to arrive at the imperial city, they saw a team of people rushing towards them. When they were close, someone who knew them whispered: "It's from the East Factory!"

The sound of horse hooves resounded throughout the long street, and the white air that the war horses and people breathed entangled in the air for a moment, and then slowly dissipated.

"Who is going to be unlucky?"

The emperor was arrested before he even went to court early in the morning, and the emperor became more and more uneasy.

Today's morning, Zhu Di began to roar again, and his target was directed at all officials.

"...The merchants are despicable, but you are even more shameless!"

"There are officials who have received benefits from merchants from now on, no matter how big or small they are, they will be killed!"

After the court was dispersed, the officials only realized the reason.

"Collaborate with the city defense and enter and exit the capital at night, you are so brave!"

"But others have it!"

"Others? Didn't you see that some of the honorary relatives stayed and didn't leave? Is this going to apologize!"

"Tsk tsk! Is this being drawn out? Or is your Majesty ready to take the opportunity to hit him."

When Fang Qiyuan and his family were led on the street by ropes, everyone knew where they came from.

A rich businessman has no country!

In an instant, what Fang Xing said echoed in everyone's mind.

But those wealthy merchants did not dare to go out today, but just sent monks to inquire about the news.

"Master, Fang Qiyuan went out of the city illegally last night."

"Why? He won't go crazy and go out of the city. There must be a reason for this."

Qian Donglai asked anxiously.

"Master, it is said that he went to the big market and was captured on the spot."

Damn it!

Qian Donglai felt cold all over. He waved his hand to drive away the servants, and then went into the bedroom and didn't come out.

When his wife went in and saw it, she almost fainted and quickly asked someone to hire a doctor.

"Don't...don't go!"

Qian Donglai on the bed covered several layers of quilts, but his body was still trembling.

After he drank his wife, he gasped and said, "Go! Go and ask the others, ask Wang Man and Chen to win them."

"Master, what are you asking?"

Qian Donglai's face was twisted and he was sweating coldly, "Just say... I'll treat them to dinner. Yes, they must understand it."

It took more than an hour to go there, and Qian Donglai also got up, but his face was pale and his feet were weak when walking.

"Don't support me, go back!"

When he arrived outside the study, Qian Donglai didn't want to show his fear, so he drank the two maids and walked in slowly, almost moving step by step.

But after entering the study room and seeing several businessmen who were pale than him and trembling in their bodies, Qian Donglai miraculously stood firm and was free.

"Old Qian! What charter?"

Wang Man could no longer get up, so he sat on the chair and asked.

Chen Duying was even more unbearable, and his hands placed on the armrest were trembling uncontrollably.

After Qian Donglai sat down, he took a few deep breaths and said, "Fang Qiyuan was led by someone, and someone is making a trap for him!"

"Is this going to attack us?"

"wrong!"

Wang Man said suspiciously: "It was the Dongchang people who went to search for the house. Will the Dongchang still set up a plan when it takes action?"

The few people looked at each other, feeling that these words were incisive. Not to mention the East Factory, even the somewhat declining Jinyiwei would not be so shabby, and they still needed to set up a situation.

"They arrest people directly. Even if they can't find any evidence, they have them with them. Just find a place to put them on it."

"What should we do? Are we waiting for death?"

...

"It's just fishing, I guess many people are frightened."

Fang Xing smiled and told Zhu Di's explanation to Zhu Zhanji.

"Your Majesty has always been wary of merchants, so let me test it. If he didn't buy the glass and did not go out of the city without banning the ban, there would naturally be nothing."

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "You say that human hearts cannot withstand temptation the most, it is true."

Fang Xing was speechless. Last night, he thought Fang Qiyuan would not go, but unexpectedly...

People die for money, birds die for food, and those who are greedy will eventually make mistakes!

Zhu Zhanji asked with some interest: "What did he think?"

...

Half an hour later, the two entered the East Factory and were warmly welcomed by Sun Xiang.

"Your Highness, this is the torture room."

Sun Xiang took them outside a large room and then prepared to go to the next place.

"Is Fang Qiyuan here? I want to see him."

Sun Xiang was stunned, and then forced a smile and said, "Your Highness, why don't you serve tea in front of you, I will take him there."

Zhu Zhanji said, "No need."

Is this to see the punishment of Dongchang?

Sun Xiang looked at Fang Xing for help, but Fang Xing smiled: "It's nothing to see."

But after I opened the door, the indescribable fishy smell made Fang Xing almost vomit.

"Give!"

Fang Xing gave Zhu Zhanji a piece of ginger candy.

It is very big inside and is supported by pillars in the middle. The torture instruments placed around it are all dark brown, which is obvious that they have been open for a long time.

Those who were torture saw that it was Zhu Zhanji who came, and hurriedly bowed.

Fang Qiyuan and his butler were tied to a pillar, with naked bodies, and some scars caused by sharp weapons were bleeding all over.

"Your Highness, the young one is guilty! The young one is guilty!"

Fang Qiyuan had only seen Zhu Zhanji outside the front hall of the Fang family a while ago, so at this moment he seemed to have caught a life-saving straw and shouted: "Your Highness, the young man is willing to give his entire family property, and the young man knows the secrets of many people, the young man..."

"Shut up!"

Fang Xing shouted coldly, then stepped forward and asked, "Tell me, why do you dare to take on this business and risk leaving the city."

Fang Qiyuan said in fear: "The little one is just a lucky person, and he has no other thoughts."

"Just luck?"

"Yes, the young man went to the Ministry of Revenue and didn't get the goods. He thought about the business but couldn't stop, so he just..."

"Nothing else?"

Zhu Zhanji felt it was a bit incredible. Some people actually did things based on luck, and it had been many times.

Fang Xing said lazily: "To put it bluntly, it's luck and greed. Eunuch Sun, how much is his family's property worth?"

Sun Xiang's heartbeat, and then said, "It's still counting now, at least 200,000 yuan. This is not the treasure money he bet in the Ministry of Revenue."

"Look! Two hundred thousand coins are enough for your family to be free and go out of the city at the risk of beheading. What is this? Greed! You dare to do anything for money!"

Zhu Zhanji was a little disappointed. After all, he was young and did not have a deep understanding of human nature.

When the two left the East Factory, Zhu Zhanji said thoughtfully: "Greed, everyone is greedy. For example, in the army, some people took the risk of spying on the enemy for credit, while some chose to remain silent in order to save their lives. They are all greedy, just to see where they are used."

Promotion and wealth are all greed, it just depends on where you use your greed!
