Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 592: Thief Guo is a sycophant

As for how shocking or surprising the Crown Princess would be, it was none of his business.

Shen Zhuang can send the remaining Dukes of Wei, Duke of Cao, Wuding and Changxing to the palace by just one person.

After seeing those emeralds, Wei Guogong, Cao Guogong, Wu Dinghou, Changxing Marquis and others all had expressions of shock and regret.

After hearing that Shen Zhuang also sent it to Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, he fell into a surprise.

Especially the female relatives of each family, all of them couldn't help but praise her.

"This Marquis of Dinghai is really a fortune-seeking Marquis!"

"Such a beautiful jadeite, if it is made into a bracelet or a string of beads, and then worn..."

"The shopkeeper, Shen Zhuang, is also a bit thoughtful!"

"It's a pity that I'm just a businessman..."

"With this jade, even if he is a merchant, he will have many connections among the powerful people of the Ming Dynasty in the future!"

"..."

Guo An also didn't expect that jadeite would be so popular among the dignitaries of the Ming Dynasty. In less than a few days, all the dignitaries in the entire capital knew that the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce had a rare item like jadeite that was even better than jade.

then.

A lot of powerful people looked towards the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce.

Although the Sea Trade Chamber of Commerce is Zhu Di's industry, the shopkeeper of the Sea Trade Chamber of Commerce is actually a small businessman.

The dignitaries all came to Shen Zhuang in person.

At the same time, I also understood what treasures those large carts and boxes that Guo An and Shen Zhuang sent to the Imperial Palace and the East Palace a few days ago were!

"Nie Chen!"

"As a minister, he actually unites with merchants to send such luxurious things to His Majesty. He must be a treacherous minister!"

"But Deputy Xian, I heard that among the jadeite sent by Shenzhuang to Cao Guogong, Wei Guogong, Wuding Marquis and Changxing Marquis, there was a priceless jadeite, which is a natural treasure!

If this is the case, the matter of Dinghaihou being canonized as a duke will definitely be brought up again, or even..."

"Hmph! So what, those people are just martial officers after all, not civil servants, let alone public officials!"

"What the Deputy Xian said is absolutely true!"

"It's just that those imperial guards are becoming more and more incompetent. It's been so many days and we still haven't found the culprit behind the arson attack on the Vice-President's Mansion!"

"Jinyiwei..."

Speaking of this, a trace of resentment flashed in Chen Ying's eyes, and her face was a little distorted.

"If we rely on those imperial guards, those arson thieves in my palace will never be found out!"

"What does the deputy constitution mean?"

Several civil servants couldn't help but change their expressions.

"Hmph, according to the authority of the Jin Yiwei, how could a few arson thieves not be found out no matter how well they hide themselves?"

"Yes, how come Jin Yiwei..."

As he said this, a civil servant's expression suddenly changed, as if he understood something.

"The deputy constitution means His Majesty..."

When it came to the following words, he did not dare to continue talking.

Similarly, all the civil servants around him also reacted, and their expressions became weird.

"Li Jinglong, Guo An..."

Chen Ying's face was ferocious.

A censor smiled bitterly and tried to persuade him: "Vice-Xian, Cao Guogong and Dinghaihou are deeply trusted by your majesty. Since your majesty intends to expose this matter...

As long as His Majesty is still here, we can't do anything to them, and after so many days, those two people have not taken the initiative to cause trouble for the Vice-Constitution, why not let this go in advance? " "lay down? "

Chen Ying stared at the censor and said in a cold voice: "Fan Yang, do you know how Guo An humiliated me in Fengtian Hall?

And, twice, twice..."

As he said this, Chen Ying's expression became uncontrollably distorted as she thought of something.

Chen Ying will never forget the humiliation of being beaten by Guo An, the Marquis of Dinghai, when the important ministers and His Majesty were beaten by the Marquis of Dinghai in the Fengtian Palace. Even as time goes by, the more resentment he will accumulate, so that he now dreams every night, wishing that Dinghai Hou Guo An Hou Guoan's body was cut into thousands of pieces and cut into pieces with thousands of swords.

As for Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, there doesn't seem to be much hatred.

All the civil servants responded quickly, "Don't worry, Vice President, we will definitely find the flaw in Marquis Dinghai!"

However, Chen Ying didn't know what they were thinking, and she didn't want to understand.

They are already in the same boat. If they don't want the boat to capsize, they must protect him!

At this time, in Dinghaihou Mansion.

Guo An listened to Shen Zhuang's introduction with a leisurely expression.

"Master Marquis, in today's auction house, just a natural mountain jadeite was auctioned for 200,000 taels of silver. The other two emeralds shaped like longevity peaches and shells were auctioned for 150,000 taels of silver. Twelve Ten thousand taels of silver...

That string of green jade beads made of glass was worth sixty-six thousand six hundred and sixty-six taels of silver, and that piece of green jade bracelet made of glass was worth fifty thousand taels of silver...

Also, that string of ice beads was auctioned for 20,000 taels of silver, and the ice bracelet..."

"Very good!"

Guo An nodded with satisfaction.

To be honest, Guo An no longer has much interest in the money. Anyway, as long as he can continue to make money for the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce, it will be fine.

In this way, he, Marquis Dinghai, will never be short of money.

Especially for the good items from the barbarian countries in the Gulf such as Japan and Jiaozhi, the cost is not as high as the transportation price. As long as they are sold to the Ming Dynasty, the profit will be dozens of times.

As long as it can make money for the court, as for how to maximize profits, the merchants and shopkeepers like Shen Zhuang have studied it in much more detail than he did.

"The price of these jadeite should be determined according to what you and others have discussed!"

"Yes, Lord Marquis!"

Shen Zhuang nodded respectfully without any evil intentions in his heart.

Since entering the palace last time and giving gifts to Zhu Di, Shen Zhuang finally understood that the Marquis of Dinghai was a real person. As long as he hugged the thighs of Marquis Dinghai, he would be hugging the thighs of His Majesty and His Royal Highness.

Guo An asked again: "In addition, how has the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce investigated the past mistakes of Chen Ying, the censor of the right capital?"

Shen Zhuang quickly took out an account book from his pocket and handed it to Guo An.

"Please rest assured, Lord Marquis, all the property and faults of Chen Ying, the censor of the right capital, have been investigated by the confidants sent by the villain, and they are all recorded in this account book!"

商贾

Guo An took it, turned it over and glanced at it, his eyes subconsciously shrank.

Immediately, there was a sneer in his heart.

"This Youdu Yushi is indeed worthy of this official position!"

"Yes!"

Shen Zhuang also nodded slowly. The wealth and crimes of this Youdu Yushi were the most serious he had ever seen.

If he didn't have the support of Marquis Dinghai behind him, he might have silenced the confidants he sent to investigate before he got the account book, and then destroyed the account book.

It's a pity that he has the support of Marquis Dinghai, and as long as this account book is handed over to His Majesty, Chen Ying, the censor of the right capital, will definitely have his house confiscated, or even his whole family will be executed.
