My uncle is Zhu Di

Chapter 103: Betting out your teammates is a basic operation (fourth update)

Yu Shiji was hesitant. Xu Qin knew that he had concerns, so he smiled and said, "Because of the overseas trade?"

Yu Shiji looked at Xu Qin in shock. He was very shocked. How did he know? Who told him?

"Right?" Xu Qin continued to look at Yu Shiji with a smile.

Yu Shiji nodded, still looking at Xu Qin in disbelief.

Xu Qin smiled and said, "But I still can't understand. Going out to sea for trade can make money, but it is also beneficial to those merchants. The Weaving Bureau will purchase civilian materials, which is beneficial to everyone. Why is this?"

Yu Shiji smiled bitterly and lowered his head.

Xu Qin sat there, looking at Yu Shiji, not in a hurry, just waiting for Yu Shiji to figure it out. After a while, Yu Shiji said to Xu Qin: "You know, from Guangxi to Hebei, coastal merchants will look for opportunities to transport goods overseas. The profit here is very large. Even if the court prohibits it, they will continue to send goods out.

Even though setting up a customs office is beneficial to everyone, no one wants the Weaving Bureau to do this. If the Weaving Bureau gets involved, no one will be able to compete with it and no one will be able to take it over. In this way, the Weaving Bureau will become very rich and once rich, Your Majesty will continue to fight foreign wars, and things will be even more out of control.

It was you who proposed the establishment of the customs, and it was also you who proposed that the Weaving Bureau go overseas. In addition, you had previously set up weaving workshops and dyeing workshops at home. Everyone knows that you are a genius in business. If you are used by His Majesty, then no one will be able to compete with you when the Weaving Bureau goes overseas for trade in the future.

Therefore, everyone wants to kill you. As long as you are killed, the Weaving Bureau may not be able to fight against those merchants in the private sector. Moreover, you are the first step. If other threats appear at that time, we can find a way to eliminate them. "

After hearing this, Xu Qin nodded and then said with a smile: "So, all this is for money, right?"

"Yes!" Yu Shiji nodded with difficulty.

"Then why let you carry out the task?" Xu Qin asked again.

Yu Shiji looked up at Xu Qin, then bowed his head again and said, “My family’s business is not small, and the other people’s families all have businesses. Plus, this time it just happened that we happened to have someone, for example, I am very familiar with the people in the Weaving Bureau, so I knew the news in advance, told them, and they began to get involved.

For example, Yuan Fu's family had a large business, and when he learned about this, he immediately got involved. Liang Jieguang knew the centurion and was very familiar with him. He was indebted to him and gave him a large sum of money. The centurion committed suicide. Of course, we don't know whether he committed suicide or not. This is Liang Jieguang's business. "

"Coincidence?" Xu Qin stared at Yu Shiji and said.

"Yes, it's a coincidence!" Yu Shiji nodded affirmatively.

"You are not honest, do you think I will believe it? It is impossible that you killed the queen's nephew by chance and it was a sudden impulse. If it is true, how brave are you?" Xu Qin said to Yu Shiji with a sneer.

When Yu Shiji heard this, he lowered his head and said nothing, but there was a hint of fear on his face.

"Tell us what you know. What's the point of hiding it? It's come to this." Xu Qin said to Yu Shiji with a sneer.

Yu Shiji sighed and said, "You want to alienate the relationship between your Xu family and His Majesty. Your Xu family has a huge influence in the army. If you die, many soldiers in the army will be disappointed. After all, the reason why His Majesty was able to win was because when he was young, he followed your grandfather to fight. The army in the north was basically formed by your grandfather.

In addition, during the Hongwu period, your father also trained troops in various places and had very good relations with generals in various places. So once you die, there will be cracks in the army, and it will be difficult for Your Majesty to fully control the army.

Of course, we don't know how the future will develop, but we do know that if you die, Your Majesty will be in trouble, and the expedition to Tatar will not be so smooth. The army will be divided, and there will be no enough money and food. How can Your Majesty fight? At the very least, we will continue to find ways, such as the Five Military Commandery is completely under the control of the Ministry of War.

This is actually what all civil officials pursue. The reason is that during the Hongwu period, too many ministers were killed by Emperor Taizu, and everyone was afraid. They thought that everything needed to be under the control of civil officials. They hoped that it would be like the Song Dynasty, where all major matters in the court were decided by civil officials. "

After hearing this, Xu Qin smiled and nodded, saying, "So, you scholars are bad. You can do anything to protect yourselves, disregarding the safety of the country and only pursuing your own interests. Once the country is destroyed, you can still surrender and continue to serve as officials, right?"

After hearing this, Yu Shiji said nothing.

"Okay, now I know what's going on. Thank you. I hope what you said is true. I will verify it one by one!" Xu Qin said as he stood up. The tea had not yet been brewed, or to be exact, the water had not even been boiled.

"What I said is true, and I hope Mr. Xu can save my life." Yu Shiji immediately raised his head and said to Xu Qin.

"It's true. I, Xu Qin, will certainly keep my word. If you are lying to me or hiding something from me, don't blame me." Xu Qin glanced at Yu Shiji, turned around and left.

Arriving at the front yard, Xu Qin turned his head to look at Yuan Fu's mansion. The fire was not that big now. Xu Qin then turned his head to look at Yu Shiji's living room and sneered. No wonder the ancients often said: Most of the loyal people are butchers, and most of the unfaithful people are scholars. This group of people dare to sell anything, and betraying their teammates is a basic operation. Soon Xu Qin left Yu Shiji's mansion, but he didn't know where Jiang Zuoxin's mansion was. Xu Qin almost never dealt with civil officials before, so he really didn't know where those ministers lived.

"Who knows where Jiang Zuoxin's home is?" Xu Qin asked.

"Me!" "Me!" "Me!".
The group of young men raised their hands one after another. Xu Qin smiled and said to them, "Then lead the way, and we will continue to deal with them."

"Okay!" The group of people were happy when they heard this. They had nothing to do anyway, so of course they wanted to go if there was some fun.

Soon they arrived at Jiang Zuoxin's mansion. When Jiang Zuoxin learned that Xu Qin and others had arrived, he was so frightened that he trembled and did not dare to open the door. However, for Xu Qin and others, opening the door was not a big deal.

Xu Qin saw Jiang Zuoxin in the living room of Jiang Zuoxin's mansion. Jiang Zuoxin was sitting there pretending to be calm, holding a teacup, but the teacup was shaking slightly. After seeing this, Xu Qin smiled and sat down next to Jiang Zuoxin.

"Someone, bring some tea!" Jiang Zuoxin said in a very dry voice.

Xu Qin smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No, I'm not here for tea. I came here to tell Lord Jiang that I burned Yuan Fu's house. As for his women, I will let them receive guests. I didn't burn Yu Shiji's house because I asked him and he answered, and I promised him to do my best to save their house.

Now I just don't know, Lord Jiang, do you want me to burn down the house, or do you want me to save your family? Think carefully and answer me. Things have come to this. It's okay to continue to pretend to be confused, but don't blame me for not giving you a chance. "

Jiang Zuoxin was so frightened when he heard what Xu Qin said that he stood up and knelt directly in front of Xu Qin, and said quickly: "Master Xu, I, I, I was bewitched and believed what they said. Master Xu and I have no grudges against each other. This is a misunderstanding. They lured me to do this."

"Oh, really?" Xu Qin laughed when he saw Jiang Zuoxin like this.

"It's true, I really don't know anything, I just heard what they said. Please look carefully, Mr. Xu." Jiang Zuoxin bowed to Xu Qin and continued.

"This is boring!" Xu Qin stood up.

Jiang Zuoxin was frightened when he saw Xu Qin stand up and say it was boring, but he still wanted to hold on.

Xu Qin looked down at Jiang Zuoxin who was kneeling there and said, "These guys will drag your young woman to the room later. Once they start, it will be a bit bad for me to stop them. After all, they have already raised their guns. It will hurt their bodies if you ask them to stop. What do you think?"

Jiang Zuoxin looked at Xu Qin in horror, then kowtowed and said, "Master Xu, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. If you want to know something, just ask me, and I will tell you everything I know."

"Really? Okay, I believe it. Go and write it yourself. Write a question book. That's how Yu Shiji wrote it. I'll see how you write it and compare it. Then I'll know whether what you said is true or not!" Xu Qin said with a smile looking at Jiang Zuoxin.

Jiang Zuoxin looked up at Xu Qin and was very scared. If Xu Qin played like this, he couldn't even lie. Besides, the consequences of lying were not something he could afford.

"Not writing? Then don't waste time. I still need to go to someone else's house. There are a lot of people involved. If you don't tell me, I believe they will tell me." Xu Qin said and was about to walk out.

"I'll write, I'll write, Mr. Xu, I'll write!" Jiang Zuoxin knelt on the ground, turned around and shouted to Xu Qin.

"I see you won't give up until you see the Yellow River, right? Are you kidding me? Or do you think I'm easy to talk to?" Xu Qin stood there, glaring at Jiang Zuoxin and said.

"I dare not, I dare not, I will write it now, I will write it now!" Jiang Zuoxin immediately got up, bowed to Xu Qin, and then hurried to the study.

Xu Qin looked at his guards, and one of them followed him immediately.

After about a quarter of an hour, Jiang Zuoxin finished writing and handed the question book to Xu Qin. Xu Qin took it and looked at it carefully. It was okay, with not much discrepancy. It was just that they both pushed the responsibility to each other and wanted to clear themselves of the blame. However, it was certain that they did it.

"Mr. Xu, I have written down everything I know. Mr. Xu, you are very knowledgeable. I have not hidden anything!" Jiang Zuoxin bowed to Xu Qin and said.

"Really? You didn't hide it? Then why isn't the Shangshu's name there?" Xu Qin looked at Jiang Zuoxin, wanting to trick him to see if he could give him an unexpected surprise.

Jiang Zuoxin looked at Xu Qin in horror, then with confusion on his face.
