.,

The old man took another sip of tea.

His words were low and powerful, so that everyone in the hall calmed down.

Afterwards, he said calmly: "So... the most urgent thing now is to let people find imperial envoys, not only that, but also to properly protect them, the better we protect them, doesn't this just prove that we are loyal? "

When Qi Zhiyuan heard it, he immediately understood.

That's right...the original intention of punishing the imperial envoy was to blame others, but now...the purpose of blaming others has been achieved, so what does it matter if the imperial envoy dies or not?

Thinking of this, Qi Zhiyuan settled down, and said with a smile on his lips: "Master, don't worry, everyone will look for traces of imperial envoys. This is Nanjing City. There is nothing we can't do. Since they are After getting off the flower boat, it's easy to handle. Find out where to get off the boat, and then dig three feet nearby. There will always be their whereabouts. Find the imperial envoys, and when the time comes, the teacher will visit them in person, and then transfer officers and soldiers to protect them, it is too late for them to be grateful to the teacher."

The old man smiled and said, "That's right, children can be taught."

"That's right, there's still one alive... what should I do?"

"It's easy!" the old man said, "Keep it, torture him every day, try every means to imply that the person who tortured him is related to Duke Wei's mansion, and then find an appropriate time to release him. Of course... you need to move." Seriously, even if you kill him, it’s fine.”

"Understood." Qi Zhiyuan looked excited, his mentor was indeed a mentor, he was far-sighted and resourceful.

…………

Xiao Jing's neck was stuck, and he was put on the torture tool. After that...saw the other party, he picked up a pair of pliers.

"Who are you, and where did the imperial envoy flee to?"

Xiao Jing's eyes were wide open, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, his face was so frightened that he was in charge of the factory guard, he knew that there are too many methods of torture in this world.

"I see that you are an eunuch. I think you are a member of the palace who came to work with the imperial envoy. Heh... I have underestimated you. Do you want to say it? You must know that our Duke Wei's mansion is in Nanjing, but we cover the sky with our hands. You If you don't say it... I'm afraid that you will suffer from flesh and blood. Do you know what the use of these pliers is? Heh... Look, you only need to force pieces of meat from your body and tear it off. If you don't say it once, Just forceps off a piece, which is ten times more painful than dismembering a corpse, you are a smart person, you should know that sooner or later you will have to talk..."

The iron pincers, in this person's hands, kept opening and closing, approaching Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing pissed in fright, he didn't have half of the demeanor of Bingbi eunuch and Dongchang Changgong.

He trembled subconsciously, then closed his eyes, wrinkled his nose, but gritted his teeth, and finally spit out a sentence: "Don't say, we don't know, we don't know anything, let's have a good time."

uh...

In this unknown dungeon, screams came out again and again.

…………

"Master, master..."

After two days.

The chief came to Qi Zhiyuan out of breath.

In the past few days, people in Nanjing are panicking.

At first it was a rumor about Duke Wei's mansion.

Afterwards...it was reported that the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court was surrounded by thieves and many people were killed, but the life and death of the imperial envoy is unknown.

This Nanjing has been peaceful for more than a hundred years. As soon as the news came out, many wealthy households couldn't sit still.

Duke Wei's mansion...is it really going to be reversed?

This imperial envoy is investigating Duke Wei's mansion. Attacking the imperial envoy is such a serious crime. This is to exterminate the three clans. Could it be that the imperial envoy found something, so that... Duke Wei's mansion simply killed people?

So I heard rumors again that it was Shen Cewei and Ying Tianwei's Ma Jun who was shaken.

One terrible news after another seems to indicate something.

So much so... At this very moment, many rich households started to leave the city.

With the wealthy leaving the city, the rest of the common people became even more restless.

The horror of military disasters, even those who have never experienced it, are as clear as a mirror.

Once someone rebels, the rebellious army will inevitably loot everywhere, and when the imperial army arrives, they will suppress the rebellion, and if the imperial army enters the city... I am afraid that there will be a lot of life.

What Qi Zhiyuan wanted... was precisely this effect.

Everyone in Nanjing City thought that Duke Wei's mansion was going to be reversed.

Once Nanjing is in chaos, the whole of Jiangnan is bound to fall into chaos.

As for the south of the Yangtze River, the most important thing for the imperial court is where money, food and taxes are collected. Once the money and food are cut off, and there is chaos in the southern section of the Grand Canal, the world will definitely be a mess.

You know, all the money and food in the world are gathered in Nantong Prefecture, and then escorted to the north. Half of the south of the Yangtze River can't tolerate a single bit of chaos.

The imperial court definitely does not want any problems in Nanjing, but to check and balance the Duke of Wei's government...it needs to use the most unusual and new forces.

In the past, the rebellions in all states in the world were caused by local gentry uniting to protect themselves, and at the same time assisting the imperial army to suppress them.

Without the support of the gentry, this Jiangnan is bound to collapse. Even if the imperial court suppresses the rebellion, the loss is not acceptable to the imperial court.

At that time...

Qi Zhiyuan had to admire his mentor's clever methods.

Can

Thinking about it carefully, he can also understand that so much land has to be taxed, and the rent-free operation of Xishan Bank makes the situation worse. Ah, now that everyone has turned their backs, whether the court compromises, in order to keep this ancestor's family business, or...there is no choice but to fight hard.

"How is it?" Qi Zhiyuan looked at the master nervously, he still didn't have the bearing of a mentor after all.

The chief said out of breath: "I found it, I found it. I heard that the imperial envoy went to Xiaoling immediately after learning of the attack..."

"Xiaoling..." Qi Zhiyuan was taken aback for a moment, then he understood, and couldn't help saying: "This imperial envoy has a bit of wink, yes, the safest place in Nanjing City right now is probably only Xiaoling, no matter who it is, With the protection of the Xiaoling Guard, even if Duke Wei's mansion is turned against him, he won't be hurt for a while. Hurry up and report to your benefactor immediately."

But the master said again: "There is one more thing, that is the living... that living... is very stubborn, and refuses to say anything, fainted more than ten times, and his body is covered with bruises, the tiger in Taihu said, if you continue to toss, There is no doubt that you will die..."

"Heh..." Qi Zhiyuan couldn't deny it: "It's just an eunuch. Now is not the time to care about this person. It doesn't matter whether he opens his mouth or not. Just find an excuse and let him escape."

"yes."

Qi Zhiyuan said: "Forget it, I need to pay a visit to my mentor in person."

…………

At the same time, since Xiaolingwei, there are already fast horses, rushing to the capital.

The situation in Nanjing suddenly became treacherous.

Emperor Hongzhi had an audience with Emperor Taizu Gao here, and stayed in the Xiangdian for several days, looking at the portrait of Emperor Taizu Gao without saying a word.

Wait until he finally comes out from the Hall of Enjoyment.

Commander Xiaolingwei waited silently outside.

The commander was the only one who knew the identity of Emperor Hongzhi.

As for the others, all they knew was that he was an imperial envoy.

Emperor Hongzhi only glanced at the commander indifferently, and said calmly: "My order has already been issued."

The commander hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I will use the most trustworthy person to send it out quickly, and I think it will arrive in the capital in a few days."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, and turned to ask: "Where is Qi Guogong, what are you busy these days?"

"I'm editing books." The conductor said: "Hiding in the room every day, I edited many letters, humbly wrote them down, and sent many letters to him."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned. This guy... really never has a moment of leisure. He has studied so many books, and he is not afraid of being discovered by others.

"Where did you send this letter?"

"There is one letter to Xishan's sub-treasurer stationed in Nanjing Bank, and there is a man named Wang Jinyuan who sent Xishan on a fast horse..."

Emperor Hongzhi just shook his head: "Oh, I see."

The conductor stood aside respectfully, waiting for Emperor Hongzhi's new orders.

The commander knew that the person who went to the Zijin Mountain was actually the Son of Heaven, he was both terrified and excited.

But then...he realized that the most critical moment in his life had come.

At this time, he was extraordinarily attentive, not only stepped up Xiaoling's defense, but also accompanied him every day.

…………

Emperor Hongzhi came to Fang Jifan's bedroom.

This is a side hall of the Xiaoling Mausoleum, which was originally used for the rest of the priests.

Fang Jifan hurriedly got up to greet him, Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand, and then walked to Fang Jifan's desk. On this desk, there were densely packed letters, many of which were still wet.

After Emperor Hongzhi experienced this incident, he became much more restrained. He glanced at the desk and said, "What is Jifan doing?"

"Seeing that Nanjing has good geomantic omen, my son wants to buy more land for emergencies."

At this time...he still has the time to do this?

Soon, Emperor Hongzhi understood something, and he couldn't help but said dumbfoundedly: "It's profitable?"

After so many years, how could Emperor Hongzhi not see this guy's restless heart?

Fang Jifan paused for a moment, but he didn't dare to hide anything. He smiled and said, "I heard...the prices of land and mansions in and around Nanjing have plummeted..."

call……

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes widened slightly, and his heart skipped a beat.

But it seems to feel... It seems that at this time, it is really against human nature to be happy.

So... with his face still tense, he took a deep breath and said, "Buy some more... I want it too."

Fang Jifan said with a look of enthusiasm: "My emperor is wise, your majesty is still caring about the land in the midst of his busy schedule, and his heart of benevolence and righteousness is unprecedented. How much does your majesty want?"

Emperor Hongzhi said, "You can accept it, and I will take half of it."

Fang Jifan raised his thumbs up: "Your Majesty, at this time, can still benefit your subjects. I am so grateful, woohoo..."
