I want to be a grandson

Chapter 13 Conspiracy
Jiang Yu's face tightened, and he ordered hastily: "Send someone to follow Li Fu immediately! Just follow and don't startle the snake! If you lose me, I will kill you!"

Jin Yiwei was terrified, and quickly sent someone to follow up.

Those who can follow Jiang Yu are all high-ranking and powerful, how could they make fun of their own future and life!

Moreover, to walk in the palace, you have to have a strong ability, otherwise the order given by the emperor will not be completed, and it will be messed up, and you will lose your head!

Therefore, even if a person without real ability is asked to work in the palace, he would not dare.

And stalking is even more commonplace for them.

Li Fu had been in the palace for many years, and he knew to be cautious, so he turned a few corners, checked several times, and then knocked on the side door of Zhan's mansion with confidence.

But he is not a professional after all, so how can he compare to Jin Yiwei.

So all of this was seen by Jin Yiwei who was being followed.

Li Fu followed a young servant to the low woodshed, where he lived.

Li Fu took out a money bag from his pocket, which contained precious banknotes, put it on the table, and said, "After tonight, hurry up and leave when you get a chance."

The young man didn't look at the considerable money, but stared at Li Fu and asked, "Can Zhan Hui die?"

"Definitely!" Li Fu said firmly with his hands behind his back, "This time he must die!"

"understood……"

After a while, the young man led Li Fu out of the side door. The two of them walked in different directions without speaking.

Jin Yiwei, who was following him, said to his companion: "You two go follow him, let's go follow this young man, we must not lose him!"

"Don't worry! This is my specialty!"

"If there is any situation, report to the Commander immediately, let's go!"

The team with Li Fu was easy, because he returned immediately, confirmed his identity at Donghua Gate, and then returned to the East Palace.

Jiang Yu, the commander of Jinyiwei who had been waiting here, watched Li Fu return to the East Palace from a distance.

After hearing the report from his subordinates, he knew that he had gone to Zhan Hui's house, and that he entered through the side door sneakily.

Could it be that he knew that Zhan Hui had a feud with the prince, and now that the prince is dead, he went to report the news?

Jiang Yu didn't understand for a while, so he had to wait for news from the other team.

But the young man came to a restaurant in the city called Yanshengju.

This restaurant still has people coming and going until night, but the food here is neither delicious nor appetizing, and the drinks are also common.

There is neither gorgeous decoration nor desirable beauty here, everything looks so inconspicuous.

But the reason why so many people come here is because of its name: Yansheng.

It means that the exchange of news is fast and convenient. Often there are no fully disclosed news in many places, or the speed of dissemination is not so fast, and this place can be the first to know.

It is also for this reason that many people have gathered here to inquire about the news.

For example, the Ministry of Officials is about to select officials. Where there are official vacancies and where there are fat jobs, because the news is one step ahead, it attracts many people who seek and get promoted.

For example, for an official position, if you are the first to establish a relationship and get a promise, then this official position is yours, and no one else can take it away.

That's called getting there first.

The more people who come here are the housekeepers and servants of the officials' families. Those officials will not show their faces here because of their identities.

If there is a curfew in the city, don't be afraid, you can live here, and you can get a simple bed for just a few pennies.

The young man came to the wine shop to eat and drink, and said in public: "I have a piece of news, five hundred Wen."

The diners next to him were not surprised, he laughed and said: "I said, you are crazy about money, there are dozens of people here, how much money are you going to sell for a message?"

"That is, what news can be so valuable?"

The young man was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "I am a member of the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Officials."

As soon as this remark came out, the entire restaurant fell silent.That's the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. He has a high position and weight. A government order has a lot to do with it!
If the news is true, it is indeed worth that much money.

Those who come here to sell news are also very trustworthy, and they will be settled after the fall if they sell fake news.

The ones who bought the news were not officials and famous, otherwise, who could come here to bluff and deceive?
So soon everyone collected the money and put it in front of the young man. The young man put the money into the purse and said with a smile, "Don't look at me like that. Don't worry, my news must be valuable!"

When everyone crowded together, they heard the young man whisper, "Our lord is going to write a letter to the emperor to rectify the administration of officials. No matter whether it is a noble military general or a civil servant..."

"In order to prevent them from corruption, our lord is going to thoroughly investigate the property and fields of the officials all over the world, and arrest and dispose of those who corrupt the law and fish the common people on the spot..."

"If there is no corruption, then we will use this as the basis for investigating corrupt officials in the future..."

A housekeeper asked: "My brother didn't understand, brother, please explain again..."

Others also said, "Yeah, I didn't quite understand..."

The young man twitched his mouth and said with displeasure: "Why don't you understand what you said so clearly? For example, your master has 1000 taels of silver and [-] acres of land. This is all legitimate. There are no fish and meat people.
Then when you find out about your master in the future, you have to add his salary and subtract the expenses. If the difference is too big, you have to ask where your property comes from... If you don’t know clearly, you will be accused of corruption. Discuss! "

"hiss……"

Everyone can't help but take a breath!
This is to uproot the officials!

As an official, in addition to his own family property, he has a lot of gray income!

Just like the common people put their land property under their name, they only need to pay part of the food to the officials, and they don’t need to pay the government taxes, which can avoid many exorbitant taxes and labor.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty had a hierarchical division, and there were certain standards for what kind of officials and how much land was exempted from taxation.

But how can it be strictly enforced?
What this young man said was the crime of unidentified sources of huge wealth for future generations!
And in this era, there are not many ways to get money. Lao Zhu's salary for officials is really pitifully low. If he doesn't rely on family business subsidies, the whole family will go hungry!
To seek an official from thousands of miles away is only for money, and it is a wise saying in any era!

You cut off the income of the officials all at once, but it is more ruthless than digging the graves of the ancestors!
So when they heard the news, all the housekeepers were shocked. Seeing that the young man didn't seem to be joking, they hurriedly left and went to report to their master.

They all left as if fleeing for their lives, and the whole restaurant was empty in an instant.

The sky is about to change!

Officials rely on their ancestral property and their own salaries, so how can they buy slaves?Why call friends to spend time and drink?
Zhan Hui is going to cut off the money of the officials!

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents!
