Chapter 463 Wen Bancheng
The Song Dynasty court was so busy that it was so busy that the Political Affairs Hall and the Six Ministry almost worked overtime all night, and the Chuigong Hall was brightly lit all night.
A few days later, Jiexiu in Fenzhou.
Zhu Qianzhen's carriage was parked not far from a courtyard. He stood beside the carriage and looked at the courtyard with a strange expression.
The yard is surprisingly large. The carriage just now surrounded by half a circle, but I am afraid it will be half a palace.
The guy beside him came over and whispered: "Shopkeeper, don't look at the outside, I've inquired before coming. It looks ordinary on the surface, but there are carved beams and painted buildings inside. There is no comparable one in the entire Song Dynasty."
This is mediocre? Not everyone can have this land alone!
The guy glanced around and whispered more and more: "The villain also heard that the Wen family is one of the best in Jiexiu, and even Fenzhou. There are Wenban City, Jiexiu's shops and streets belong to Wenjia. I heard that there are countless mines in Chashan, and the business in Suzhou and Hangzhou is also very big..."
Zhu Qianzhen is really not surprising at all. The Wen family is engaged in money laundering on the Royal Billion Number. The rare antiques, gold, silver, and copper coins that are in and out, are probably millions of qian!
Zhu Qianzhen waved her hand, sorted out her clothes, and walked towards the gate of Wen's family.
The plaque of the Wen family is very ordinary, and the years are mottled, and it feels like it is about to fall off. The word "Wenfu" is surprisingly shining, as if it has been passed down by the baptism of time.
Zhu Qianzhen looked at it seriously and secretly admired it.
He also carefully checked before coming. This literary family is indeed a family of poetry and books. The inheritance must be counted from the early Tang Dynasty and can be regarded as a noble family.
The two guards looked at Zhu Qianzhen, looked at his clothes, looked at each other, and confirmed that they were not an ordinary person. One of them politely stepped forward and asked, "This guest, I don't know where he came from, who would he visit when I came to my Wen family?"
Zhu Qianzhen smiled, took out a greeting letter from her arms, and handed it over and said, "My surname is Zhu, I came from Kaifeng. This is my visiting letter, and I invite you to Wen. If Wen doesn't like my visiting letter, I will say the Royal Pin number."
The guard was stunned and asked to see Mr. Wen in their family, but not many qualified ones. He looked at the simple carriage and a follower. He looked at the post again, with no official or post, only a name introduction.
The guard was suspicious and upholding the usual 'humble' family style, he said politely: "Customer wait, the villain will go in and report now."
Zhu Qianzhen nodded, stood under the steps without moving, and watched the guard enter and close the door.
The guy followed him and knew the task very well. The official sent their shopkeepers. The task was very heavy and difficult. He had to be careful. If the affairs of the official family were broken, their good days would come to an end.
The guard entered the door but did not go directly to find Wen Yanbo. He was not qualified. After thinking about it, he went to the yard on the left.
This is the courtyard of Wen Yanbo's sixth son, Wen Jifu.
At the beginning of Yuanyou, Wen Jifu originally worked in Dali Temple, but later was transferred to the Ministry of Personnel. Because Wen Yanbo was appointed as prime minister again, in order to avoid suspicion, Wen Yanbo retired and returned to Beijing to serve as the Minister of the Taipu Temple and the Minister of the Ministry of Works.
Later, he was involved in the power struggle between Zhao Xu and Empress Dowager Gao and the subsequent purge. Wen Jifu was dismissed from office and lived in vain for almost two years.
When the guard came to the door, he saw Wen Jifu, who was in his sixties and gray-haired, sitting on a chair, and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl was sitting on his legs. He was calling her to study word by word.
The guard quietly walked outside the door without saying a word.
Wen Jifu called out a few more words, put down the little girl, and said with a smile: "I'm so smart, I'll teach you tonight."
The little girl was very shy and reserved and said, "Thank you, my husband, I will leave."
Wen Jifu smiled and was proud when touching his beard.
The guard then came in, handed over a message, and said, "Sixth Dad, a man named Zhu Qianzhen came outside the door, saying that he wanted to see the great master."
Although Wen Jifu was idle at home, he was not willing to accept it. He always wanted to go back and naturally paid attention to the government and the country. He felt that the name Zhu Qianzhen was very familiar with him at the first time. He suddenly changed color when he looked at the prayer post.
When the guard saw it, he hurriedly said, "He also said, if the great master doesn't see you, just say the words 'Royal Pin Number'."
Wen Jifu had already remembered that Zhu Qianzhen was naturally not attracted to his eyes. The most important thing was that the Wen family used the royal ticket number to launder money and took the opportunity to make money.
This matter is mainly done by Wen Jifu, and not much other people in the Wen family know about it.
Therefore, he knows very well who Zhu Qianzhen is and who is behind him!
"Is it because we found out that it was us who came to the door to ask for the crime? Or, who did he represent?"
Wen Jifu's face changed. His incompetent nephew would think that the blind prince was behind him, and he didn't think much of it.
How can Zhao Quan get millions or even tens of millions of coins? Besides, Zhao Quan does not have the ability or courage to approve the Ministry of Revenue and even the Political Affairs Hall!
People who are clear-eyed and those behind are about to come out!
Unspeakable!
Wen Jifu thought for the rest of his mind, and felt a little panicked, and immediately said, "Please invite someone in, take them to the main hall, serve good tea, be polite. I will go to see my father now. Without me, no one is allowed to disturb him, and I cannot let him go!"
The guard immediately knew that he was powerful and quickly said, "Yes. The villain will go now."
Wen Jifu felt the prayer in his hand, and his intuition was heavy, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. He stood there in a quiet mood for a long time, but still walked to the backyard.
Wen Yanbo lives in a small building with a secluded location and few people dare to disturb him.
The servants who were coming and going, saw Wen Jifu, bowed and did not dare to say a word.
Everyone in the literary family knows that the old man is not in charge of the affairs, and the position of the head of the family is basically temporarily replaced by this "Sixth Dad" to manage all matters of all sizes.
Wen Jifu entered the building and walked directly to Wen Yanbo's study.
After Wen Yanbo retired, he focused on writing and rarely went out.
Wen Jifu came to the door and walked straight in.
Wen Yanbo's hair was almost gone, his forehead was bald, his face was covered in skin and bones, his eyes were sunken, his hands were like dead branches, holding a book and watching quietly.
Wen Jifu walked in quietly and said respectfully: "Father."
Wen Yanbo was still reading a book, licking his fingers and turning the page with difficulty. His voice was old, but he said in a single and powerful manner: "What's the matter?"
Wen Jifu handed Zhu Qianzhen's greeting letter and said, "There is someone from the capital. He is the uncle of the official family. I want to see you."
Wen Yanbo frowned, turned his head, looked a little confused, and said, "The uncle of the official family?"
Wen Jifu did not tell Wen Yanbo everything, and hesitated now.
Wen Yanbo has been through the officialdom for a long time and is very smart. He immediately realized something and said, "Is there any trouble?"
Wen Jifu looked at Wen Yanbo, sighed softly, and said helplessly: "A few younger generations don't know what they are doing. They have used the Royal Box to do a lot of things. I am worried that the court may have an excuse to deal with our Wen family."
