.,

Zhu Xiurong sat in the carriage haggardly with grief and exhaustion.

The next one... is not far away.

In this carriage, there is a pile of thick books for her to check the general situation of each household of the people who need to visit at any time.

For example, the next family is engaged in the trading of grains, and such buyers and sellers need a lot of money. Once the money is turned over, the flow of funds will be huge.

In the book, there are some information about this rice merchant, roughly how many warehouses there are, and how many shops there are, which are very detailed.

Zhu Xiurong put down the notebook in his hand, and he probably knew it in his heart.

It's just that she can't understand it even if she wants to break her head. Obviously, these books can't be the latest investigations. So many materials have been rushed, and so many businesses have been involved. How could it be so detailed? After all, even a few people, When a newcomer was added to the family, it was written clearly. I think... This was something her husband had investigated long before he was alive.

But it seemed that there was another question, lingering in Zhu Xiurong's mind.

What was the husband doing to investigate these things before he was alive? These businessmen are involved in various industries, but logically speaking, they have nothing to do with Xishan.

It's just that at this time, it's too late to think about it.

She felt that her mind was a little numb and confused due to the pain of losing her husband, so she had to bite her lip and force herself to cheer up.

Now... only she can support this family property.

…………

It was noon that day.

Banks and semicolons everywhere, just when countless people are still running...

However, he found that there was a long queue at the empty banknote exchange business window.

These people came here with horses and chariots, and when they got outside, they began to unload boxes of goods, and then carried boxes one by one into the bank.

Once the box was opened, it was enough to make everyone's eyes straight.

It was actually boxes of real gold and silver, dazzling people a little.

Afterwards, at the Qianzhuang, people were immediately assigned to weigh the gold and silver.

They...acted in the opposite direction, exchanging real gold and silver for Daming Treasure Banknotes.

People from each business house came, and they brought more or less real money. They were all led by the housekeeper, who brought the guys with them, and were guarded by special guards. They didn't say anything. The people from Ren Qianzhuang weighed them and got the same amount of Daming treasures, then turned around and left without saying a word.

Ever since, there was a long queue here to take out silver, but there was a long queue over there to deposit silver.

It was a slightly chaotic bank before, but now the business volume has increased, but the shopkeeper who is in charge of the bank has straightened up all of a sudden, directing the staff to speed up the business with vigor.

The bank was so organized that it even put up a sign, deciding that in order to make it easier for the common people to withdraw money, the time of closing the door at night will be postponed by one or two hours.

This means, don't be in a hurry, everyone, line up carefully, take the banknotes, keep the silver, and there is absolutely no possibility of running out of money.

As a result, fewer people came to withdraw money, but there were still some people who were worried and felt that it would be better if the money would be in their pockets.

"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness..."

In front of the Hanlin Academy, Zhu Houzhao had his hands behind his back and was stopped by the people in front of the door.

But Zhu Houzhao continued to move forward with a cold face. When his shoulder collided with the opponent, the opponent staggered and fell directly to the ground.

Behind Zhu Houzhao, a group of people swarmed in, all scholars from Xishan Academy.

In order to distinguish them, although they also wore Confucian Shanlun scarves, they all wore white belts around their waists in honor of their master.

The Hanlin people in the Hanlin Academy heard the movement, some came out of the public house, and some stood there dumbfounded.

A Hanlin facing him stepped forward and quickly bowed to salute: "Your Highness condescends to come, I don't know..."

In Zhu Houzhao's hand was a horsewhip, and without blinking, he threw it at the Hanlin's face.

Pa... There was a glaring bloodstain on the Hanlin's face.

This Hanlin hurriedly covered his face with his hands and let out a wail.

Zhu Houzhao had no expression on his face, he pursed his lips tightly, and took a few steps forward.

The other Hanlin and civil officials immediately exploded.

If you don't agree with each other, you will whip and beat, this... this... how gentle is it.

You know... Hanlin represents the nobility, and it is a symbol of scholars.

Now even if the imperial examination is abolished, Hanlin is still Hanlin.

What they represent is integrity, the strength of character of this Ming Dynasty.

Therefore...neither the emperor nor the crown prince personally beat Hanlin, no matter how serious the crime was, it was nothing more than a court stick.

Someone quickly supported Hanlin who was writhing in pain on the ground, and then backed away.

But Zhu Houzhao didn't care about it.

In the past, although Zhu Houzhao was stubborn, but towards the Imperial Academy, even if he was scolded by them, he just had an attitude of letting you scold him, and I didn't hear it at all.

But today, Zhu Houzhao wore a military uniform with a white belt around his waist, the toes of his boots crushed the blood flowing on the ground, spit on the ground, raised his head, his face was cold, his eyes were stern, and finally he said: "I heard that many people in the Hanlin Academy were secretly applauding, saying that Duke Qi deserved to die.

, it's God has eyes, isn't it? "

While he was speaking, he looked left and right, looking at every Hanlin, his eyes were like ice tips.

The Hanlins felt a little heartbroken, and suddenly someone burst into tears: "Your Highness...you...how can you be so insulting to gentlemen, Your Highness...we'll wait..."

Zhu Houzhao ignored Hanlin who was kneeling on the ground and crying loudly, but continued to ask coldly: "Is it?"

Hanlins retreated one after another.

"Duke Qi deserves to die or not. Father can say it, and I can say it. Where is it your turn to say it? In this palace, the person who said this must have something to do with the murderer who plotted to assassinate Duke Qi. Who is it?"

When Zhu Houzhao spoke, he was not in a hurry, and the whip in his hand was gently slapped on the palm of his hand, but there was an inexplicable and frightening power.

"Dare you dare to admit it?" Zhu Houzhao bared his teeth: "Didn't you usually call yourself a clean stream and dare to speak out?"

"Your Highness..." Finally someone came out from the crowd, but it was Zhang Tao, the attendant of the Imperial Academy.

Zhang Tao said solemnly and righteously: "Your Highness must not be rude here."

Zhang Tao used to work in Zhan Shifu, and also taught Zhu Houzhao, so he was half of Zhu Houzhao's master, so... at this time he was furious: "Is this how your highness treats his subjects? If news of today's incident is spread, how will the scholars of the world view His Highness? How will the soldiers and civilians of the world view His Highness?"

Zhu Hou looked at him, but his expression remained indifferent, and he said, "Why, you scolded him too?"

Zhu Houzhao's attitude made Zhang Tao so angry that he felt cold.

These days are really not the life of people. After Fang Jifan died, the imperial examinations were abolished first, and then a large number of ministers were deposed, and even Hanlin was not allowed to speak. In the air, these accumulated grievances are so deep, now... the prince has such an attitude, does this give the scholars a way to survive?

He said seriously: "Over the years, the laws of the ancestors have been tampered with in a complete mess. Your Majesty has been bewitched by traitors to the point where you can't tell right from wrong. Isn't the instigator of all this the Duke of Qi? It is a pity that Duke Qi died today, but it is a pity. If you think about it carefully, why not bring the blame on yourself? Your Highness and Qi Guogong..."

"What did you say?"

In fact, Zhang Tao felt that his words were already very tactful.

How about pointing at Fang Jifan's dead body and greeting Fang Jifan's ancestors for several generations?

"What the officer wants to say..."

But Zhu Houzhao suddenly went crazy, and rushed forward. Before Zhang Tao could continue to speak, he tore off his official hat and pulled off his hairpin. Zhang Tao's hair was disheveled immediately. His Royal Highness would have such a reaction.

But Zhu Houzhao had already pulled his long hair, and when he pulled it, Zhang Tao staggered, and before he could react, he fell down with a slap in the face.

pat...

Zhang Tao suddenly felt that his eyes were starting to glow, and he was completely dazed, his chin was dark red.

Zhu Houzhao took the opportunity and kicked him hard in the abdomen. This pampered Zhang Tao, with tender skin, fell to the ground with an ahhh.

Unwillingly, he screamed bitterly: "Your Majesty Zeng Guan worshiped Zhan Shifu as an official, Your Highness..."

Seeing this, the other Hanlin were silent like cicadas, and some people wanted to go forward to persuade them.

However, His Royal Highness's face was a little bit colder than before. It was a murderous look, like a leopard that had found its prey, and the sharp edge that flashed deep in the depths of his eyes was so chilling to the bone.

Zhu Houzhao had already stepped forward, rode on Zhang Tao's body, punched him hard, and said sharply, "Swear again, curse again. What kind of bastard are you, come on, curse again, Lao Fang is dead, you It must be all right, very good, then let's go to the Underworld to be buried together. Haha..."

Snapped……

Another punch down.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes were red, and he laughed suddenly: "Miaoji, Miaoji, you are in the world, I will kill you slutty slaves, and when I beat you to death, you will be in the underworld in the future. Fang will beat you again, you dog slave."

This punch was extremely fierce, Zhang Tao wailed and screamed endlessly, until later, he was on the verge of dying, he could no longer scream, he just punched down, groaned, and twitched like a conditioned reflex.

Zhu Houzhao was beating, but he didn't have much strength. It was obvious that he was beating someone, but tears fell down, along the corners of his eyes, across his cheeks, and into the corners of his mouth. His laughter choked up, and he suddenly lost his strength. , The whole person is like a puddle of meat, lying sideways beside Zhang Tao who is already unconscious, the python robe on his body raises dust, the dust fascinates his eyes, and tears flow.

He murmured: "There is no room for you here anymore."
