Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 203 Lao Zhu must ransack his home!

Nanjing City, writer.

Holding Lao Zhu's decree in one hand, he stood at the door of Wen's house with his hands behind his back, watching the officers and soldiers rush into Wen's house.

Wen Chengde, Wen Erye and others were escorted to kneel at the gate of the mansion. There was still thick smoke in the backyard.

"His Majesty's decree states that the Wen family buys and sells food privately, secretly sells it to the Yunnan rebels, this is a capital crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and the crime should be punished. Wen Chengde, Wen Chengcai, Wen Shujiang and others will be arrested and ransacked, and the maids and servants will be dispersed. "

"Your Majesty, the Wen family has been wronged!"

As soon as the Wen family lit the house, before the fire could start, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court came, and it was His Majesty who personally issued the decree.

The Wen family can be considered a respectable person in Nanjing City, and today's sudden house raid is not a small matter.

The people stood on the street, whispering to each other, and many passers-by gathered together, and when they saw the court officers and soldiers approaching, they immediately dispersed into a group of birds and beasts.

Wen Chengde and Wen Chengcai knelt on the stone steps at the door, shouting for grievances.

Lao Zhu personally asked Yu Yi to bring his own soldiers to ransack the house, and the people had no food, so he dared to sell the food to the Yunnan rebels, and he was sentenced to death.

In addition to the censor Zhou Qing, there were also three treasures who came to inspect.

Zhou Qing looked at Three Treasures and said, "Master Zheng is here too? Your Majesty asked His Highness the Crown Prince to come and supervise the house raid. Why didn't you see His Highness?"

Sanbao glanced at the carriage in the distance, then looked at Zhou Qing and said with a smile, "The weather is so hot, His Royal Highness can't bear it. Zhou Yushi, the testimony is ready."

"It's ready, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already told me." Zhou Qing took out the copied secret letter, the steward's testimony, and other business lists from his pocket.

"Zhou Yushi, come with me to visit other merchants. There are quite a few people who help the Wen family buy food."

"it is good."

Originally, Zhou Qing wanted to take advantage of today to flatter His Royal Highness, but who told Zheng Sanbao to come, so he had no choice but to follow him to make meritorious service.

The two left side by side, leading a group of people to arrest the others.

This time, the Wen family entrusted many merchants to help him buy grain, and many people were dragged into trouble.

Sambo is cautious in his work, and this time is also a big event. He has to follow the whole process of many merchants.

At the entrance of the alley opposite Wen's house, Zhu Biao raised the curtain of the carriage and talked to Mao Xiang: "Is there someone missing?" "Where's the document Jiang?"

Mao Xiang became strange: "Isn't that kneeling in the back? They went in first to catch the document Jiang. Please rest assured, Your Highness, there will be absolutely no mistakes."

Hearing this, Zhu Biao nodded, he was relieved that Jin Yiwei was doing business.

Moreover, Sanbao was also sent by him to monitor and ransack the house at all times. Anyone who wants to make a fortune or hide it must be careful.

Qianqing Palace.

Hearing Li Shanchang's doubts, Lao Zhu turned around and patted him on the shoulder: "Li Xiang, it's considered light for us to raid his house, so take it back and interrogate slowly."

"Your Majesty, I feel that the ransacking of the house will inevitably cause a big disturbance in the capital, and it needs convincing evidence." Li Shanchang hesitated, and he always felt that it was His Majesty for other reasons.

Lao Zhu tilted his head and looked over, staring at Li Shanchang: "What are you thinking about?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I didn't think about anything." Li Shanchang immediately recovered and said to Lao Zhu.

Old Zhu hummed, picked up the memorabilia and knocked on the desk, approached Li Shanchang and said, "For this reason, we should first arrest the Wen family and ask, and then discuss with the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to convict, right?
But this is not the case with him today. We hold the Wen family’s secret letters and witnesses, and the evidence is solid. How can you ask us to show mercy.

The Wen family is living a good life, but if you have to go to sell grain to make a profit, just sell it, who knows that selling the grain of the Ming Dynasty to our enemies, we hate infidelity and injustice the most in this life, and we want to move when we see profit Hypocrites, and profiteers.Let's copy it today. "

"Your Majesty is right, the Wen family should copy it, but it's not to tell the people." Li Shanchang asked.

"Are we the emperor or they are the emperor, and we have to tell others why we do things. Could it be that they suspect that we are slandering the Wen family? Ah!"

The echoes of Old Zhu's words sounded around the Qianqing Palace.

Seeing that Lao Zhu was so decisive and categorical in his refusal, Li Shanchang couldn't say anything more. After the discussion, the sun was setting outside, and the sun was about to set, so he also left the Qianqing Palace.

After thinking about it, Li Shanchang couldn't figure out how His Majesty got these evidences and news. The only thing that can be explained is that His Majesty the Crown Prince collected these evidences for His Majesty.

Lao Zhu looked at the place where Li Shanchang had been standing just now, thinking about him, who gave this guy the guts, really got more and more control.

Sanbao went to other merchants' homes with his will, and the first one was Shen's.

"Why do you arrest our master? Our family is an imperial merchant." Aunt Shen jumped out from the side door, pointing at Three Treasures with all her teeth and claws.

Sanbao frowned slightly, and said coldly to the officers and soldiers behind him, "Take them away!"

Then came cloth merchant Zhou's family, Li's family and Wu's family, a salt shop in the east of the city. A large bunch of them were taken away like candied haws.

The reason is that he bought food for the Wen family.

Zhu Biao was sitting in the carriage, Mao Xiang was handing fruit and tea beside him, and said, "His Royal Highness, Shen Qiancheng actually only helped buy [-] shi. He didn't know it. If Miss Shen..."

"No, I told my father that I just took this opportunity to beat Shen Qiancheng and make him put away those little thoughts."

"Your Highness is wise." Mao Xiang was about to leave.

Zhu Biao threw him a pear: "Bring her to quench her thirst, and bring her to see Gu tonight."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Mao Xiang took the pear with a smile and took a bite, before disappearing into the street.

Wen Chengde looked at the escorted Shen Qiancheng and several other businessmen, with disheveled hair and said with a smile: "Hahahaha, I didn't expect that our Wen family could bring so many backs, it's really..."

Before he finished speaking, he was hit by the handle of a knife by Li Wenzhong next to him. Wen Chengde's mouth was covered in blood and he couldn't speak. He looked at Li Wenzhong.

"It's fucking noisy, shut your mouth."

Wen Chengde was so frightened that he stopped talking.

When the house was raided until dark, only 3000 taels of silver were confiscated, plus about 60 shi of grain that the various granaries of the Wen family had not had time to transport out.

Sanbao immediately told Zhu Biao about it.

"What year is it, who still keeps the money at home? Let Lu Zhong bring the housekeeper of the Wen family here immediately." Zhu Biao said.

Then the housekeeper of the Wen family arrived and shook his head and said that he didn't know about the money of the Wen family.

"Go down." Zhu Biao asked someone to take Butler Wen away. This guy is now a member of Jin Yiwei.

If the Yunnan rebels run out of food, Mu Ying and Lan Yu will save a lot of effort to attack Yunnan, and there will be less bloodshed and sacrifice.

Who knew that at this juncture, the Wen family bought food and sold it to the rebels for money. How is this different from the enemy.

Then Zhu Biao got off the carriage, and several soldiers behind him followed immediately.

"His Royal Highness!" Li Wenzhong said respectfully.

"Your Highness, that's all." Sambo replied truthfully, pointing to the boxes on the ground.

Wen Chengde knelt beside him, and when he saw that they had found such a small amount of silver and some ordinary calligraphy and paintings, he smiled contemptuously.
