Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

"Humph!"

In the Fengtian Palace, Zhu Di had a cold expression on his face, "How can we not know who Marquis Dinghai is? How much money his family has, we know better than him.

Zhao Hu, can your Jin Yiwei find out where this rumor came from?Who could come up with such a stupid move to attack Marquis Dinghai? "

Zhao Hu was stunned. He didn't expect that His Majesty would trust the Marquis of Dinghai so much?
However, he still hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, forgive me, as soon as this news appeared, it was in the major tea shops and food shops in the capital.

Moreover, it was circulated in more than ten tea shops and food shops at the same time. Wei Chen has not yet found out who is spreading the rumors about Ding Haihou! "

Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "Send someone to check quickly and check carefully for us!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Zhao Hu responded quickly.

Immediately, he was ready to leave.

At this time, Zhu Di suddenly said: "This time, Jin Yiwei should be able to find out!"

Hearing this, Zhao Hu trembled and said quickly: "Report to Your Majesty, the Jinyi Guards will definitely be able to find out!"

"Ok!"

Zhu Di nodded slowly.

Zhao Hu bowed his hands towards Zhu Di and then walked out quickly.

His back was covered in cold sweat.

He knew that His Majesty was already very dissatisfied with the defeat of his imperial guards several times in succession.

If they fail again this time, I don’t know what will happen to everyone in Jinyiwei, but Zhao Hu, an old minister, will definitely not get good things!

Inside the hall.

As Zhao Hu left, Zhu Di's eyes were filled with coldness.

"Xuan Ding Haihou!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

On one side, Yi Shiha responded and hurriedly walked out.

And in Dinghaihou Mansion.

Guo An was also listening to Xu Yong's report, "Master Marquis, I don't know which thief came from this rumor.

The Chamber of Commerce has already sent someone to report it, and absolutely no one from the Chamber of Commerce was involved in this matter.

In addition, the boat shop and shopkeepers also asked, and they didn’t know where this rumor came from! "

Saying that, Xu Yong couldn't help but said: "Master Hou, do you think this matter belongs to Tianxi Temple..."

"will not!"

Guo An slowly shook his head, "They are all smart people, they don't dare to frame me like this!"

"Which thief could that be?"

Xu Yong frowned, feeling very upset.

"Master Hou!"

At this time, the housekeeper Guo Ang walked in quickly from outside.

"Your Majesty summons you to the palace!"

"Ok!"

Guo An nodded slightly and said to Xu Yong: "Protect me into the palace!"

"Yes, Lord Hou!"

Xu Yong nodded quickly.

……

After half an hour.

Guo An followed a young chamberlain and quickly walked into the hall.

"The humble minister Dinghaihou Guo An has come to see His Majesty! I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Get up!"

Zhu Di slowly waved his hand and asked Guo An to stand up.

After Guo An stood up, he asked directly: "Your Majesty summoned the ministers here, but because of the rumors on the street?"

Zhu Di smiled teasingly and asked: "We are also curious about how much money the dignified Marquis Dinghai has embezzled from the Chamber of Commerce!"

Guo An had a bitter look on his face, "Your Majesty, it is clear that I have always made money openly and openly. I have never accepted bribes or gifts, let alone being greedy!"

Moreover, His Majesty also knows how much money Weichen's family has. Why should Weichen risk his life and wealth to get some money? "

Zhu Di asked: "Then tell us, why are there so many rumors in the capital? They are even spread in a well-organized way!"

Guo An held up his hand and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, it must be that the humble minister provoked someone, or blocked someone's financial path, so they came up with such a stupid trick!

According to Wei Chen's talents, how much money can Wei Chen make if he wants?Do you still want to spend some money on Mo Mo? "

"Oh?"

A trace of curiosity flashed in Zhu Di's eyes, "Is Guo Qing's statement a bit too big?"

Guo An smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I never speak big words!"

"We want to hear it!"

"Your Majesty, I am not from a poor family or a poor peasant, but from the Guo family of Shunde Prefecture, and I married the legitimate daughter of the Liu family of Shunde Prefecture!"

Guo An said slowly: "Your Majesty, these two families are families that have been passed down for hundreds of years. They have various relatives, collaterals, in-laws, friends... If they really unite, they will become a giant...

Of course, they may not have any power, but the ministers are already marquises. As long as they are given some objects and secret recipes and allowed to do business, the money they will make will not be less than what the Chamber of Commerce makes! "

Zhu Di's eyes widened slightly, as if this was really the case.

Although the Guo and Liu families are not powerful.

However, the greatest heritage of these aristocratic families is their relatives and bachelors.

In addition to the dozens sent to Goryeo, it would not be a problem to recruit hundreds of people.

"Then why doesn't Guo Qing have the blessings of the Guo and Liu families?"

Guo Andao: "Your Majesty, they are all relatives of Wei Chen, and Wei Chen has been blessed. However, the Ming Dynasty always needs some people to do practical things for the Ming Dynasty, and they cannot become merchants just to make money.

Moreover, none of them are too short of money! "

"Well! Guo Qing has the world in mind, I really did not misjudge the person!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Guo An cupped his hands and said.

The corners of Zhu Di's mouth twitched slightly, he waved his hands wordlessly, and asked again: "Can Guo Qing guess who spread the rumor?"

Guo An frowned and thought for a moment, then said slowly: "Your Majesty, the day before yesterday, Monk Dharma Xing of Tianxi Temple came to Weichen's house to ask Weichen for help in order to rebuild Tianxi Temple.

At that time, what the monk Faxing said was very miserable, and the minister felt compassion.

So, I followed the monk Faxing to Tianxi Temple. Unexpectedly, although Tianxi Temple was dilapidated, it still had several main halls and more than 20 monk rooms, gallery rooms and sutra rooms!

There are even five thousand acres of fertile land...

Humph, they don’t farm themselves, but they own so much fertile land and hire poor farmers without land to farm it.

And those monks do not pay taxes and corvees, and the landless poor peasants still have to pay taxes and corvees...

Such a group of harmful monks, Wei Chen directly scolded them and asked the abbot Fa Miao to tell them who asked them to come to find Wei Chen. Fa Miao actually refused to say anything! "

"Does Tianxi Temple know the inside story?"

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes slightly.

Guo An explained slowly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Wei Chen feels that if the monks from Tianxi Temple were able to find Wei Chen, there must be someone behind them.

However, the monks such as Fa Miao and Fa Xing actually bit them to death and no one could persuade them, not even Wei Chen could do anything!

In addition, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, these monks have been in a respected position, and it is difficult for minor officials to interrogate them...

Before Wei Chen could come up with a solution, so many rumors had already appeared throughout the capital! "

"Pass on Liang Hu!"

Zhu Di shouted directly outside.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

A waiter responded and ran away quickly.

soon.

Liang Hu, the commander of the inner guard, hurried in.

"Your Majesty, Liang Hu, is here to see you!"

Zhu Di said directly: "I order you to quickly bring people with you and secretly keep an eye on the monks of Tianxi Temple!
We need to know, who are the monks at Tianxi Temple getting close to these days?

In addition, let us investigate carefully to see who has had close contact with the monks of Tianxi Temple in the past few days! "

Liang Hu was heartbroken and responded directly: "I obey the order!"

"Go!"

"Yes!"

As Liang Hu exited, Zhu Di said slowly: "A few days ago, several Jin Yiwei went to trace the counterfeit banknotes, and they were killed in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian!"

"Jinyiwei was killed?"

Hearing this, Guo An's eyes narrowed and he looked at Zhu Di in surprise.

"Your Majesty, are you saying that they are the ones who started this incident?"

Zhu Di said quietly: "We are just suspicious. Apart from those thieves, who else would dare to attack you like this?"

Guo An couldn't help laughing and said: "So, Jin Yiwei has already cornered them?"

"No!"

Zhu Di slowly shook his head, "If they were those people, they should just divert the attention of us and the Jin Yiwei, and take advantage of the chaos to escape completely.

If it weren’t for those people, it would be interesting! "

"Yes!"

Guo An nodded slightly, "I hope it's those people!"

Zhu Di nodded, "Yeah!"

Suddenly, Guo An remembered something and couldn't help but look at Prince Zhu Gaochi who was standing aside.

"I'm afraid, Your Highness will have to work hard in the next few days!"

Zhu Gaochi smiled bitterly and said: "Father and teacher, please rest assured, I will definitely remember those thieves who impeached the teacher!"
