Daming: I help my wife be the empress

"It's Jin Yiwei!"

"Jin Yiwei is here!"

Hearing the exclamation of the servants from the front yard, all the grain merchants in the living room of the main house panicked.

"How could we be targeted by Jin Yiwei?"

"It was unexpectedly found here by Jin Yiwei, it's over."

"Run, I don't want to sit in Jinyiwei's jail..."

In a panic, more than [-] grain merchants scrambled to run outside, and some were smart enough to break through the windows, and the unlucky one was squeezed to the ground as soon as he reached the door of the main house, trampled to death.

Seeing this, Cheng Dagui shouted anxiously, "Don't panic, don't run away, we haven't broken the law, and Jin Yiwei can't arrest people randomly."

Ma Qiwen passed by him, and sneered when he heard this, "Jin Yiwei won't arrest people randomly? Naive!"

After speaking, he turned out from a window.

Only Xu Chongru sat in the main seat, motionless.

Because he knew very well that since Jin Yiwei found this place, he must have heard the news of their gathering here, and made a perfect arrangement to arrest them, how could they let them escape?
Knowing that he was doomed, Xu Chongru didn't bother to run away.

Soon, the other grain merchants ran out of the living room, leaving only two people.

Xu Chongru narrowed his eyes and looked at the fat young man sitting second on the right, with an ugly expression on his face: "Zheng Wenxia, ​​you leaked this place to the imperial court?"

"Mr. Jiewen (Xu Chongru's character), I can't help it." Zheng Wenxia said with shame on his face.

Hearing Zheng Wenxia's confession, Xu Chongru was so angry that his hands trembled, "Thanks to me, Xu and Zheng's family have many in-laws and helped you a few times, making you one of the 24 largest grain merchants in Nanjing. I didn't expect you to 'repay' me like this." I!"

At this time, screams and exclamations came from outside one after another——

"There are Jin Yiwei at the back door!"

"The Imperial Guard, it is the Imperial Guard!"

"what!"

"Don't hit people, I just don't run away, woo woo..."

Hearing these voices and thinking of the result of being captured by Jin Yiwei, Xu Chongru was angry, afraid and unwilling.

He glared at Zheng Wenxia and asked, "Why do you want to betray us? What benefits do you have? Are you not afraid of implicating your Zheng family and making the Zheng family no longer have a foothold in Huizhou?!"

Zheng Wenxia explained: "Mr. Jiexiu, I really have no choice - the people from Jinyiwei found me and used a magic weapon to capture my soul, saying that if I don't serve as an internal response to the court, not only will I die in seven days. , the soul will be sent to the [-]th floor of hell, never to be reborn. I'm afraid."

"that's it?"

Zheng Wenxia hesitated for a moment, and said: "Jin Yiwei also promised that if this matter is done well, he can support me to sit at the head of the Nanjing Rice and Grain Bank."

"you!"

Xu Chongru was so angry that he picked up his teacup and was about to go towards Zheng Wenchun.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he started, he saw two Jin Yiwei rushing in, one of them was Qian Hu.

"Wei Long, Deputy Thousand Household of Jinyiwei." The leader stared at Xu Chongru sharply, "You two, please come with us."

Zheng Wenxia asked in surprise, "Wei Qianhu, do I want to go too?"

Wei Long ignored him, and Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi next to him said, "Nonsense, how can you make a statement if you don't go?"

Zheng Wenxia didn't dare to say anything, and walked out with low eyebrows.

The same is true for Xu Chongru.

He couldn't resist either.

Now he only hopes that the imperial court will not take things too far, and that courtiers who are related to businessmen like them can help.

After being taken to the Fusi Yamen in Jinyiwei South Town, Xu Chongru found that they were all held incommunicado. He had no way of knowing what would happen to the others and whether they would confess anything.

This time, Xu Chongru completely panicked.

He knew that few of them were hard-headed, and they were likely to be recruited as soon as Jin Yiwei waited on him.

After thinking about it carefully, Xu Chongru felt that he couldn't recruit, otherwise, as the leader of the line, he would definitely be beaten as the mastermind of this "case", and he might be killed by the Yi tribe.

However, to Xu Chongru's surprise, there were no instruments of torture in the room where he was held.

At first he thought that there were not enough cells, so he was locked up here.However, when Wei Long and a Jinyiwei Xiaoqi came in to interrogate him, they still did not bring torture equipment.

Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi sat behind the table with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, ready to write a statement.

Wei Long was holding a strange thing. After some fiddling with it, he pointed it at him and pressed a mechanism on it, and a bright light flashed across the room.

Xu Chongru was suddenly full of panic.

Although he didn't know what Wei Long did to him, this was the scariest thing.

"What... what did you do to me?" he asked tremblingly.

"Dementor." Wei Long said calmly.

"What?" Xu Chongru didn't know whether he didn't hear clearly, or he didn't want to believe it, so he asked again.

"Take your soul." Wei Long said, a piece of paper unexpectedly appeared from the magic weapon in his hand.

He brought the paper over, and when Xu Chongru saw it, his mind went blank.

I saw him sitting on a chair in horror on this palm-sized piece of cardboard, exactly like him in real life!
'Jin Yiwei really has a soul-stirring magic weapon! 'Recalling what Zheng Wenxia said about being threatened by Jin Yiwei, Xu Chongru finally believed it.

Then he was more frightened.

If it is said that he can still make some psychological preparations to face death, then he is really afraid of his soul being ingested and thrown into the eighteenth hell and never to be reborn!
So he trembled and said: "Let me recruit anything, as long as I can release my soul..."

When Wei Long heard this, he smiled.

···
the next morning.

Wei Long went to Jinshen Hall in the Forbidden City and returned the camera to Aimee Zhu.

Let Jin Yiwei keep an eye on the big grain merchants in Nanjing City in advance, and use the camera as a "magic weapon" to coerce the big grain merchants into undercover agents, which is one of the strange tricks Hao Guangming came up with.

This can be regarded as taking advantage of the technological products of later generations, as well as the Ming Dynasty people's fear of the unknown, so in Hao Guangming's view, it is really not a good way, it can only be a strange trick that can be used once or twice.

It was also Hao Guangming's suggestion to ask Jin Yiwei to exchange cameras.

Although the camera is not a real magic weapon, if Jin Yiwei is allowed to abuse it and lose supervision, it is very likely that bad things will be brewed.

After Wei Long reported the course of action last night and the results of the subsequent interrogation, he left.

Immediately, Auntie Zhu also returned to the old house in Zhulin.

When Hao Guangming saw her, he smiled and said, "This operation can basically control all the big grain merchants in Nanjing. As long as they cooperate, Nanjing City will not have the same grain shortage as it did a few days ago in the short term.

And Nanjing City is the city that consumes the most food under your rule, so it won't be a problem to stabilize it. Even if there is a food shortage in other places, the impact will not be too great. "

Auntie Zhu frowned slightly and said, "I still hope that there will be no food shortages in all places in Daming."

"That's impossible, at least within ten years." Hao Guangming said, seeing that Auntie Zhu was in a low mood, he comforted him again: "However, if Lu Jiude can do what you asked well, then I will The food shortage in two or three months may be greatly alleviated."
