Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 202 Opening (fourth update)
In the saliva of the court hall, the Daming Xijishi Factory nominated by Wanli himself was finally established.

The West Factory covers an area of ​​more than [-] acres, surrounded by a wall that is about ten feet high. On both sides of the vermilion gate is a pair of mighty stone lions. Zhaobi with the word "loyalty" written on it.

Turning around the screen wall, there is a huge square in the West Factory. There are not too many decorations in the yard, and flags of various colors are flying on both sides. Behind the flags are rows of soldier barracks, and in the middle is the office of the West Factory.

In the spacious hall, a huge picture of a tiger descending the mountain stands behind the Shuai case, which looks extraordinarily solemn.

When the West Factory opened, none of the courtiers came to congratulate it. Even Xu Xianchun and Sun Lun, who were considered good friends with Ye Xun, only gave some congratulatory gifts without showing their faces.

The old fox Zhang Weixian, the proponent of the West Factory, also didn't show up, but although he didn't show up, he still prepared the standard weapons for a thousand soldiers three days before the West Factory was listed.

Even so, Ye Xun didn't appreciate it, he deserved it all, why should he be grateful?

And the other person who gave the gift was one of the invisible ones, and he was Zhu Changxun, the King of Fu.

Kings from all over the world are not allowed to make friends with courtiers. This is the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, so despite Wanli's connivance, Zhu Changxun's gift-giving envoy also acted like a thief, and left in a hurry after delivering the gift.

Regarding the desolation on the first day of Xichang's listing, Ye Xun seemed not to notice, and directly issued the first order to arrest the Bailian disciples.

Although Hu Jiucheng and the others are very caring, the White Lotus Sect follows the upper-level route in the capital, and there are almost no ordinary believers, so there are no valuable clues at all.

But it doesn't matter, although Ye Xun wants to attack the White Lotus Sect as the name of the West Factory, but the first target is Zhang Heming.

Following Ye Xun's order, dozens of wolf-like Xichang fans arrested a man who looked like a businessman on the street.

This businessman is not Zhang Heming's family, but a relative of his son's concubine's family.

Ye Xun is well versed in the way of fighting, that is, he will never attack the target directly, and will not deliver a fatal blow to the enemy until all the evidence chains are complete.

With the arrest of the businessman, the arrest of the White Lotus Sect in Xichang also began to spread in the capital.

As soon as the matter of the White Lotus Sect came out, almost everyone was dumb. Who would dare to speak at this time?Before, these ministers insulted Ye Xun and Fang Congzhe for obstructing the reopening of the West Factory. Now if Ye Xun retaliates against them under the guise of attacking the White Lotus Sect, whoever fails to keep them will suffer.

Jinyiwei's prison is notorious, who dares to say that Xichang's prison will not be the same as Jinyiwei's prison?After several severe punishments, who can bear it!

The ministers turned off the fire, and before Zhang Heming's son came to the door, when Ye Xun returned to Beijing last time, the old family member of the Fang family came first.

Ye Xun was very surprised by the arrival of this old family member, so he hurriedly let the old family member in.

After the old family came in to salute Ye Xun, they took out a letter and handed it over without waiting for Ye Xun to ask questions, and then said, "My master is inconvenient to come forward, so I ask Eunuch Ye to help with a detailed investigation."

Ye Xun opened the letter suspiciously, and frowned after reading it twice, but it turned out that Fang Shihong, Fang Congzhe's eldest son, was killed and arrested by the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

His son knew that Fang Congzhe didn't believe that his son would kill people at all, but as the court elder, he couldn't personally participate in the investigation, so he asked Ye Xun to help him return his son's innocence.

Fang Congzhe's help is necessary, because Ye Xun still owes Lao Fang a favor.

Ye Xun is a person who is good at plotting, and from this incident, he also smelled the smell of conspiracy.

The drunkard's intention is not to drink, these people's target should be Fang Congzhe, but the old man usually only cares about government affairs, and rarely offends anyone, who wants to deal with him?

This question is a bit complicated. After all, Ye Xun doesn't know much about official affairs, and Fang Congzhe has been an official for so many years. Who can guarantee that he really hasn't offended anyone.

"How did your son get into a lawsuit?"

Since you want to help, you still need to understand some basic information.

"The servants of Shuntian Mansion said that my son was competing with others in a restaurant, so he killed him."

The old family obviously didn't know much, so they looked at Ye Xun eagerly after speaking, presumably pinning all their hopes on Ye Xun.

Ye Xun understood a little bit, this Mr. Fang probably accidentally hurt someone because he was jealous of others in the brothel. As for why that person died, it's hard to say.

After pondering for a moment, he beckoned Kuomur over and said with a smile, "Have you not fought with anyone for a long time?"

Kuo-Mur was taken aback. In fact, Kuo-Muer was simple and honest by nature, and he rarely caused trouble. Hearing what Ye Xun said now, he thought he had done something wrong. He was about to defend himself, but was stopped by Ye Xun's wave of his hand.

"You take my note to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and say that I want to see Mr. Fang's file. They will definitely not show it to you, and even taunt you. Do you know what to do?"

Although Kuomur was straightforward, he was not stupid. After hearing Ye Xun's words, he didn't understand what Ye Xun wanted him to do, so he agreed immediately, and then went out and called a dozen brothers and went straight to the Ministry of punishment.

That's right, Ye Xun wanted Kuomur to cause trouble. Only in this way can others know that he is going to stand up for Fang Congzhe, and after knowing that Ye Xun is going to intervene, those people will definitely be wary. Of course, the possibility of jumping over the wall in a hurry is not ruled out. , if that's the case, it will give Ye Xun an opportunity and reason to intervene.

After telling the old family to go back and wait for the news, Ye Xun called Hu Jiucheng over.

Ye Xun has a lot of money, but raising an army is the most costly thing, so he can't just go in and out. Although the Wang family's business route was a good way to get money before, as the expenditure increases day by day, relying on Those can no longer meet Ye Xun's needs.

Hu Jiucheng has always been in charge of the Wang family line, so Ye Xun planned to let him think about it and open up a few more business routes.

After hearing Ye Xun's words, Hu Jiucheng was silent for a moment, and then said: "In fact, there is a business route that is the most profitable, but I am afraid that my father-in-law will not be able to complete it."

"Oh! What is it?"

Ye Xun became interested as soon as he heard it. As long as he can get money, is there anything he dare not do?

Hu Jiucheng stared at Ye Xun and said slowly: "Sea transport!"

Hearing this word, Ye Xun frowned immediately. He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had proposed the ban on the sea. Although it was loosened later, it was still banned on the whole.

But Ye Xun also knows that in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, the ban on the sea has already existed, and many of the relatives of the ministers of the DPRK and China are organizing this business, and then in order to protect their own interests, they preach in the court hall that they cannot violate the ancestral system. The result of this is that these officials are getting richer and richer, but the court is getting poorer and poorer, and in the end they can't even get the money out.

This is a good trade route, but you have to do it slowly.

Changed the subject and said, "Any news about those families in Shanxi?"

Ye Xun refers to those Shanxi merchants in Shanxi who, like Wang Dengku, have been dumping things in Jianzhou.
