.,

Speaking of being impeached, Fang Jifan is used to it.

To be honest, no one scolded a few words, and he felt embarrassed.

Do people who do big things care about being scolded by others?

Seeing Fang Jifan like this, Emperor Hongzhi smiled.

He could understand Fang Jifan's feelings.

Because he is also often scolded.

Even if his private life is too strict, he has been scolded by the officials for favoring only one person. Unfortunately, the palace is really unfilial.

It means that the emperor should find more women, so that he can have more sons, otherwise how can he be worthy of his ancestors.

Some people even compared Emperor Hongzhi's behavior of favoring Empress Zhang alone to that of Emperor Chenghua and Concubine Wan Gui, and they wished to point at his nose and call Emperor Hongzhi you pervert.

But so what?

Emperor Hongzhi said earnestly and earnestly: "What I have done is to wash away your grievances."

He paused, looked at Fang Jifan's still calm expression, couldn't help but said again: "Don't you care about your own name?"

Fang Jifan thought for a while, then turned to look at Zhu Houzhao with curly hair, and said in his heart...the name behind him...

No matter how bad it was, it shouldn't be as bad as this guy.

Fang Jifan said: "Your minister only cares about the present, and doesn't care about the future."

"Nonsense." Emperor Hongzhi was slightly angry, and said in a deep and deep voice: "How can people not pay attention to their own reputation? You are still young, so you don't know what it means to be sad. When you want to repair it later, it will be too late. Now Someone wants to pour dirty water on you, who is this Jiang Yan... I don't care first, the most important thing is that after he played this performance, many people will definitely join him in the future, how can I make you share my worries, but It has caused you to bear an eternal infamy. Others come to verify, but I can't believe it, and I know very well that many people and I are not of the same mind."

Speaking of this, Emperor Hongzhi seemed a little excited: "I will personally investigate, if you are guilty, I will not forgive you, but if you have ulterior motives, catch wind and frame you, I will never let you be wronged."

Fang Jifan shook his head when he heard this, wondering if he should be moved.

Emperor Hongzhi's expression eased, and he said again: "Let's go, let's enter this bank."

When Emperor Hongzhi entered the bank, the clerk in front of the door was about to receive guests, and opened his mouth to say something, but was suddenly pushed away by the shopkeeper stationed there.

The shopkeeper saw Fang Jifan with his eyes.

Ordinary people may not be able to recognize Fang Jifan.

But this shopkeeper has always been with Wang Jinyuan. He has met Fang Jifan several times, and he must recognize his master's master even in ashes.

With a click... the shopkeeper simply knelt down and said: "Little man Wu Ding, I have seen my father-in-law, and my father-in-law condescended to come here. The upper and lower branches of Qingpingfang of Qianzhuang are even more inspiring, and the branches of small banks are full of brilliance."

Blinking hard, very professionally making his eye sockets reddish, his eyes were misty, as if he was about to shed tears, and then his voice choked up: "The villain is thinking about it day and night, this The greatest wish in my life is to be able to meet my father-in-law in person and to serve him, if I can do this, even if I cut him to pieces immediately, I will not frown, I can't think of today..."

Fang Jifan: "..."

This man is so shameless.

Very annoying.

Fang Jifan twitched the corners of his lips, and looked sideways at Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled indifferently and said, "Go to the back hall and ask them to fetch the books."

Emperor Hongzhi pretended not to see it, and went straight into the back hall with his hands behind his back.

Zhu Houzhao and Xiao Jing hurriedly followed in.

Fang Jifan was left behind, looking very embarrassed, couldn't help cursing: "Things like dogs know how to flatter horses. If you have a little color, you still have to open a dyeing workshop. I hate you, what are you talking about, take the income and expenditure." book."

Wu Ding did not feel sad because of being Fang Jifan, instead he smiled and said happily: "Yes, yes, the villain really deserves to die, I shouldn't be too emotional in front of the father-in-law, please sit in the back hall for a while, the villain I will prepare a notebook for you."

Fang Jifan just chased after him.

When they arrived at the back hall, Emperor Hongzhi took his seat. Seeing everyone standing, he said gently: "Everyone sit down, Zhen... Since this old man is visiting privately, there are no rules for so many monarchs and ministers for the time being."

Fang Jifan and the others all sat down, then Wu Ding had asked someone to make tea, everyone was drinking tea, Fang Jifan didn't know... What exactly does His Majesty want to investigate.

When Wu Ding took the notebook, Emperor Hongzhi took it, and flipped through the notebook page by page.

This is the situation where the people who were killed by the traitor got back their stolen money.

It records everyone's name, where they live now, and how much money they have exchanged. There are also their signatures and signatures at the back to show that the money has been taken away.

This Xishan Bank has a set of special financial rules. After all, such a large transaction involves countless amounts of money, so extra care must be taken.

In this way, it also made it easier for Emperor Hongzhi to check.

Emperor Hongzhi was sitting, looking at the dazzling array of names seriously, but murmured in his mouth: "Chen Zhong, who lives in Yiding, Jiujiang Street, Qingpingfang, has exchanged nine taels of silver, and has settled..."

He looked at this man named Chen Zhong, pondered for a while, and then continued to read.

Word by word, line by line

, it can be said that it is clear and plain, and there are traces to follow.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at it for a long time before he raised his head, put the notebook down, looked at Wu Ding and said, "There are quite a few such notebooks."

Wu Ding knew that this man who even respected his father-in-law must be extraordinary, so he dared not be negligent, and quickly said: "There are seventy-nine thousand three hundred and twenty-five people who have settled the settlement now, and the original bills have all been settled. Recycled, they have also signed and pledged, a total of 23 books..."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and said: "It's really hard work, so many things can be done in a few days."

Wu Dingdao: "The process of disbursement is quite simple. What's more, people poured into the branches of many banks. There are many counters in each branch, and a lot of manpower is assigned. I'm afraid that some people will be waiting anxiously. The day was so busy that the feet never touched the ground, but now, it’s a bit more leisurely.”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled a little, and said approvingly, "Good."

Then, he stood up, ignored the steaming hot tea on the copybook, and said directly: "Let's go."

That's... go away?

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan still couldn't figure out the way of Emperor Hongzhi, so they had to obediently follow suit.

After leaving the semicolon of the bank, Emperor Hongzhi turned his head: "This is Qingpingfang, and where is Jiujiang Street?"

Fang Jifan understood, Emperor Hongzhi randomly chose a family very close to here, could it be...

In this way, right and wrong, good and bad, really seeing is believing, you can see clearly at once.

Fang Jifan bit the bullet and said, "Your Majesty, this is Jiujiang Street."

"Go, go find that Chen Zhong."

Emperor Hongzhi acted vigorously and resolutely.

This is a person he randomly selected, and it cannot be faked.

Immediately, Emperor Hongzhi found a cement-filled apartment building according to the row number in high spirits.

There are obviously a lot of people living in this building, and most of the people who come in and out here are ordinary people. After all, those who have money will buy land to live in a big house, but this kind of building is similar to an apartment. It's aggrieved, but it's just a dwelling place.

When he found the place to live, he heard coughing coming from inside.

Xiao Jing frowned, he looked at Emperor Hongzhi worriedly, and reminded: "Your Majesty, the master here seems to be sick."

Emperor Hongzhi was unmoved, and only uttered two words: "Knock on the door."

After a while, the door opened from the inside, and it was an old man who opened the door.

It seems that the old man's back has been hunched, and his face is full of vicissitudes. Looking at the uninvited guest outside, he seems a little surprised.

He coughed for a while, but before he could open his mouth, Emperor Hongzhi said, "I am from the Xishan Bank. A few days ago, you withdrew money from the bank. I was ordered to visit you. Is your name Chen Zhong?"

When the old man heard that it belonged to the Xishan Bank, the wariness on his face turned into a courteous one in a blink of an eye, and he said with a smile: "This... this... Chen Zhong is the little old man, please, please, please sit in the room."

This is a house with almost bare walls. There is almost no decoration on the concrete walls. When you enter it, you can smell a strong smell of medicine.

Emperor Hongzhi looked around.

In the end, he discovered something unusual in this room.

Hanging on the wall is a knife.

Logically speaking, ordinary people are not allowed to hide knives, this is a crime of violence.

However, this knife is already full of rust, and the head of the knife is obviously broken.

Emperor Hongzhi stood under the knife, stared at the knife, tried to identify it, and said, "Is this knife yours?"

Chen Zhong didn't seem to have too many doubts about Emperor Hongzhi. He leaned on his stick reluctantly and said, "Yes, yes, exactly."

"Have you been in the army?" Emperor Hongzhi looked sideways at Chen Zhong carefully.

Chen Zhong didn't look like he had ever been in the army, but he nodded: "The little old man is fifty-seven. Back then, he was a military household of Jinzhou Wei."

Jinzhou...

Emperor Hongzhi nodded secretly. He looked at the chipped and rusty knife: "This knife seems to be quite old, with a chip on it. Why, has it been on the battlefield?"

Speaking of this, Chen Zhong's cloudy eyes seemed to be a little more colorful: "In the ninth year of Chenghua, the Tatars invaded the border. The little old man was in his prime at that time. He was ordered to be stationed in Yongxing Castle, and the Hu thieves attacked and killed Yongxing. On the thirty-seventh day, the fort was surrounded by groups. The former general who conquered the captives ordered all the forts to stand guard, waiting for the imperial army to come to help. The reason for the gap was caused by that battle, thanks to the blessing of the emperor, the little old man finally survived, and because of this, he was left with a leg problem."

Only then did Emperor Hongzhi notice that when Chen Zhong was walking, he was limping while leaning on a stick.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help being slightly moved.
