A+ A- Turn Off Light

Zhu Yunzhu really poured all his anger into this kick.

This kick was followed by an ah-ah wail.

Chen Ji only felt a sharp pain emanating from his leg bones as his body collapsed.

Immediately afterward, his face turned pale from the pain, and he clutched his leg like a puddle of mud, letting out a pig-killing scream.

The only thing you can see is people rolling around on the ground, so you can say that the Sven is swept away.

Everyone did not think …… that the person …… in front of him, who called himself Zhu Yunzhu, was actually so ‘rude’.

After Zhu Yunzhu’s foot went down, he looked down at Chen Ji on the ground and clasped his hands together and said, “Amitabha Buddha, good, good.”

The last moment was full of anger, but after this kick went out, that anger seemed to have magically and gradually calmed down.

The readers, however, are just silent, no one blocked, and even more so, no one to help Chen Ji.

Everyone’s heart was in turmoil.

There is an indescribable feeling.

Just at this time …… a team of police officers rushed in aggressively, shouting, “I heard that there are people here to make trouble, bold, under the feet of the emperor, this place is even more Mr. Chen s teaching place, who dares to make trouble.”

At the head of the group was a capital, which was imposing.

In fact, people up and down the Yingtian Prefecture have long since gotten hints from their superiors that this Mr. Chen in Fuzhimiao must be thoughtful.

This is actually understandable, for the officials, offend no one can not offend the resigned minister, people although resigned, but some relations are still there, who knows who is behind.

On the other hand, this Mr. Chen hot, now in the scholars reputation is flourishing, at this time if you offend him, I am afraid that the world’s readers will be scorned.

So as soon as he heard that someone had come to cause trouble, this authorized metropolitan came immediately.

He shouted under his breath, holding out his big belly, with an imposing look, and seeing that Chen Ji was actually knocked down, he was shocked, so he staggered under his breath, “Which thief is it, which thief is it?”

A reader pointed his finger at Zhu Yunzhu and said, “It’s him.”

“It’s actually a monk? How dare you!” The head of the capital directly cursed, saying, “Who are you, a monk, who dares to show off here, do you really think that there is no king’s law here?”

Another reader said, “He is Zhu Yunzhu.”

“Which bird …… is Zhu Yunzhu” This Du head sneered and cursed, but soon, his face changed.

Zhu Yun-bu?

The head of the capital’s face suddenly whitened up.

Prior to that, no one was bold enough to impersonate Zhu Yunzhu, unless you were afraid you wouldn’t die fast enough.

And Zhu Yunzhu still closed his palms in a calm manner. The knot in his heart had been dissolved, his heart was at peace, and at this point, he entered the time of the Magi.

This is all head stiff here.

Suddenly, someone quickly stepped in front of the head of the capital, he didn’t say anything, but just pulled something out of his sleeve and shoved it into the head of the capital’s hand.

As soon as the head of the capital touched this thing, he immediately knew that it was an iron waist plate, and after that, his face was even more miserable, and he snapped and fell to his knees.

This unimpressive man only said faintly, “Get lost!”

With a white face, the head of the capital was busy kowtowing and hurriedly fled with his men in a hurry.

His appearance then said to Zhu Yunzhu, “Monk, follow me.”

Zhu Yunzhu’s expression was faint, only saying, “Very good, very good.”

Saying so, he calmly followed the man as he slowly walked away.

It was at this time …… that a reader came forward and helped Chen Ji.

Chen Ji still felt the pain drilling through his leg bones.

Someone served him a tea, he reluctantly drank a mouthful, thinking of the encounter just now, and then looked up at the readers around him, these readers, as if they had suffered a severe mental trauma, all of them hung their heads, as if they had been drained.

Chen Ji’s heart was in turmoil.

It all happened so fast.

Just when he was still thinking …… about how to round out what he said next.

A few more of his look-alikes arrived in front of Chen Ji.

One of them, taking out a driving license, simply said, “Chen Ji?”

Once he looked at the driving sticker, Chen Ji seemed like he was being asked for his life, and his mouth exclaimed, “I …… I ……”

“Go.” Its appearance was pleasant.

“Spare your life …… spare your life ……”

Unfortunately, these few people didn’t pay any attention to him at all, and some people directly stood him up, and then left.

Only a group of readers were left behind, looking around in horror, as if they were birds of prey, each with a ghastly look on their faces.

This tea house …… suddenly became surprisingly quiet.

On the other hand, Zhu Di and Zhang Anshi, who were still in the corner just now, had long since disappeared without a trace.

Zhu Di is swinging back to the palace, back to the palace, directly arrived at the martial arts building.

Yao Guangxiao said, “Your Majesty, I am guilty of ten thousand deaths.”

Zhu Di is unusually calm: “No need to speak of sin again, my measure is so small?”

Yao Guangxiao is always aware of the temperament of Zhu Di, in fact, Zhu Di this person is very good to get along with, as long as you can tolerate him to scold you mother, and the attitude is correct, do not play in front of him, what words are good to say.

Heavenly sins, you confess them sincerely, and he can do without them.

Yao Guangxiao said guiltily, “After all, it was still my negligence that almost caused a big disaster.”

Zhu Di shook his head, “According to me, it didn’t cause a big disaster.”

He paused and added, “And what’s wrong with that?”

He spoke with a thoughtful look, as if he was thinking about something on his mind.

Yao Guangxiao immediately seemed to understand something: “Your Majesty is thinking …… about those readers?”

Zhu Di’s gaze was deep, gazing at Yao Guangxiao, “How do you see it?”

“What they miss is not Jianwen, they just want to use it to vent their anger.” Yao Guangxiao said.

Zhu Di back hands: “To discuss the present with the ancient, what the ancient people have done is actually not important to them, and even the ancient they talk about, whether it really exists or not is also not important, their purpose, in fact, is to discuss this present word.”

“Yes.”

Zhu Di said, “It’s nothing but trying to accuse me, they can borrow Jianwen to accuse me, or they can borrow Taizu Gao Emperor, or even any emperor in ancient times, they can use it to compare with me, and use it to discuss me.”

Yao Guangxiao said, “Your Majesty is wise.”

Zhu Di coldly said, “What does Master Yao think should be done.”

“It depends on Your Majesty.” Yao Guangxiao said.

Zhu said, “Huh?”

“If buying can win people’s hearts, then Your Majesty should not begrudge buying. It’s just that what the poor monk …… is worried about is that …… some people …… can be expensive to buy off.” Yao Guangxiao faintly said.

Zhu Di heard, suddenly understood what: “Yes, there are people, originally born rich, unusual buy, is not to buy their hearts, as if the big rich family, you want to beg to marry his family’s girl, for unusual men, may smash pots and pans, pay the bride price, people may also think you gift light.”

Zhu Di paused and added, “I am not some kind of Renzong.”

Yao Guangxiao, on the other hand, smiled and said, “Then your majesty …… will have to consider another thing, can not be bought …… can not be left like this.”

Zhu Di also revealed a meaningful smile, “Well …… the words are reasonable.”

At that moment, he turned back to look also lost ha, “Where is the person?”

“Outside the palace.” Also lost in haze.

“Declare him.”

“Here.”

…………

Zhang Anshi stood in the corner of the martial arts building, not saying a word.

He does not like to join in the fun at this time, this kind of playing mind games, in fact, is not Zhang Anshi is good at, he is good at just making money.

As for Zhu Yong’s few, they were sensible and obediently stood by Zhang Anshi’s side.

Soon, they saw Zhu Yunzhu come in.

This monk s …… face is actually very relaxed and not at all gloomy.

When he entered the hall, Zhu Di stared at him dead in the face.

And Zhu Yunzhu frankly raised his eyes and met his gaze.

Zhu said, “Well now, the whole world knows that you are still alive!”

“Little monk ten thousand deaths.” Zhu Yunzhu said, but without a hint of regret.

Zhu grunted coldly, “Even now, you’re still doing things like this without thinking about the consequences, it’s really foolish.”

Zhu Yunzhu said, “The little monk now realizes that the little monk is useless, this life has not done a few right things, but today …… things, the little monk has no regrets.”

Zhu Di almost to jump feet, angry swoosh said: “you can be light, but the world can lead to the people of the world, lead to the evil intentions of the people of the plot, and when how? Into …… into his mother, your father is also regarded as a person, how to give birth to you such a bastard thing out! Sins, sins, you are even more asshole than Zhu Gaoxu!”

Zhu Yunzhu only put his hands together and didn’t say a word.

Zhu Di said angrily, “What are your plans?”

“The young monk has no plans.” Zhu Yunzhu calmly said, “The young monk is already used to staying in the temple, used to making money and enjoying chanting sutras, and has no other expectations in this life.”

Zhu Di said, “If you return to secularism, I may edict you to be a county king.”

Zhu Yunzhu shook his head, laughed, very spontaneous: “Merit and fame, not as good as in the bazaar to the fate of a few steamed cakes, not as good as walking the streets, got a few dozens of text alms. It must be known …… that there is a good thing about fawning, even if it is fawning, but also can earn a hundred thousand taels of family wealth …….”

Yao Guangxiao’s face changed slightly.

Zhu Di, however, just as he was joking, or in the chemical use of some Buddhist terminology, roughly the same as the book has its own golden house and other bullshit almost.

Then Zhu Di said, “Since you are of this mind, I will not force myself on you, so you follow Master Yao well.”

Zhu Yunzhu had no joy or worry, only calmly nodded his head and said, “Many thanks, Your Majesty.”

Zhu said, “Stop fooling around.”

“Yes.” Zhu Yunzhu nodded his head.

Zhu turned back to Yao Guangxiao.

However, he found that Yao Guangxiao’s face was a bit strange at the moment.

But at this time Zhu Di does not want to care about these, just explained: “In the future …… also do not have to watch over, he wants to do what it is, but …… to prevent the curfew of the people, lest someone born out of evil intentions. ”

Yao Guangxiao said helplessly, “Your Majesty is making it difficult for me, neither can I watch over the guards, but also be careful of the curfew, I’m afraid that I can’t do …… it.”

Zhu said, “Do it even if you can’t do it.”

He sighed, but looked to also lost ha said, “choose a few former eunuchs in the palace …… also shaved, in the temple to take care of it, this kid is a jerky person, even can not take care of themselves.”

Yiluoha then said, “The slave girl obeys the order.”

After explaining these, only then did Zhu Di look at Zhu Yunzhu again, “What happened in the past, let’s just leave it at that.”

Zhu Yunzhu said, “Everything has already passed, so what is the once upon a time? Today there is only the empty monk.”

Zhu Di nodded his head in satisfaction, he was silent for a moment, “Let Zhu Wen Gui come back to Nanjing, just keep him in the palace.”

Zhu Wengui is the second son of Zhu Yunbao, after the battle of Jingwu, was ordered by Zhu Di long-term seclusion in the central capital (Fengyang) Guang’an Palace, to people called Jianshuoren.

Of course, when Ming Emperor Yingzong ascended to the throne, he thought that this child who had been imprisoned since childhood was pitiful, so he wanted to release him, but the ministers around him all thought that it was not possible. The ministers around him all thought it was impossible. Yingzong was bent on having his own way, so Zhu Wengui, who was known as Jianshuoren, finally gained his freedom at the age of fifty-seven and the emperor also gave him twenty eunuchs to serve him and a dozen maidservants to make use of him.

Zhu Di paused and added, “Edict Zhu Wengui as the county king, let him worship the spirit of the late prince.”

Zhu Yunzhu remained unsaddened and nodded his head, “Your Majesty is saintly.”

Zhu Di said, “I will take care of the other things, you go be your monk.”

Zhu Yunzhu nodded his head while taking his leave.

He didn’t go more than a few steps.

Zhu Di’s face, however, revealed a few complex colors and said, “Peace!”

Zhu Yunzhu did not react and had already stepped out of the martial arts building slowly.

This Ping An is Zhu Yunzhu’s breast name, when he was young, Zhu Di called him this way.

Zhu sighed for a moment, took his seat, and sighed before saying, “The former matter has been settled. Zhang Anshi ……”

Zhang Anshi, who had been silently in the corner for a long time, was called by name and hurriedly stepped forward, “I am here.”

After Zhu Di pondered for a moment, he said, “This Zhu Yunzhu, on the contrary, is quite protective of you back.”

Zhang Anshi was anxious: “Your Majesty, what is this saying? This just shows that he is short-sighted, shows that he is not good at recognizing people, shows that he is blind, I and he are innocent ah.”

Zhu Di was happy, “Well, I don’t mean to blame you.”

“Of course Your Majesty is magnanimous and will not blame, but I feel that it is always necessary to make things clear.”

Zhu Di could not help but give a laugh, then said, “In a few days …… I go to the money bank, you are also tired, retire.”

Zhang Anshi was relieved, and at this point, as if he had been pardoned, he hurriedly took his leave.

Waiting out of the martial arts building, with a few brothers, Zhang Anshi cursed all the way, “That Zhu Yunzhu harms people, rather like I’m not innocent with him.”

Zhu Yong said, “Big brother, I would like to think, that Zhu Yunzhu may be from the bottom of my heart, I see that he is a good person.”

“Hush.” Zhang Anshi looked around before lowering his voice, “You guys, these words, it’s fine for us brothers to say them behind closed doors, but don’t say them to the outside world, and when you get outside, you guys have to help your big brother clarify.”

“I understand, I understand.” Zhu Yong nodded his head busily.

Zhang Anshi then said, “Alright, everyone go back and have a good rest, after a few days, big brother will take you to do great things again, these few days, big brother needs to settle down.”

So the brothers walked out of the palace gates and dispersed.

……

In this martial arts building, only Zhu Di, Yizhu Ha and Yao Guangxiao were left.

Yao Guangxiao did not leave because he knew that His Majesty still had some matters that needed to be taken care of.

Sure enough …… waited a moment.

Then a eunuch came in with broken steps and whispered, “Your Majesty, Commander Ji Gang has arrived.”

Kikyo entered the building and saluted.

Zhu raised his eyes, “Did you take the man?”

“Hold it.”

“Let’s pry a little something out of his mouth.” Zhu Di’s face was expressionless, at this time, the bottom of his eyes were devoid of the slightest emotion, but it was indescribably cold.

Ji Gang said, “I obey the order.”

“After three days, report the results.”

“Here.”

…………

In the Imperial Prison.

An ear-piercing wail came out, giving off a creepy feeling!

Chen Ji, who had long since been skinned and cracked, fainted and came to his senses again and again.

His whole body hanging, body clothing all off, at this time he, only one thought, he wants to die ……

If he could die now, he even hated to give all his concubines to this person in front of him at this time, and hated to kowtow to the other party again.

But ……… for some, death is also a luxury.

He began to blur and slur his consciousness.

“I’m …… I’m …… not a disorganized party …… I’m not a disorganized party.”

An icy voice came out from the darkness: ”Are you not a rebel? Why do you dare to slander the king like this? There must be someone behind you, say, who is it?”

Chen Ji is going to cry out, “I don t have I don t have …… Please, kill me, kill me.”

What followed …… was a miserable scream.

Finally …… the person in the darkness came out step by step, this person has no expression on his face, but Chen Ji looked at him and said that he was unspeakably afraid.

Discipline.

Ji Gang was as harmless as a quail in front of Zhu Di.

But here …… he is equivalent to Yama.

He scraped his eyes like knives over Chen Ji’s body, and then lightly said, “Is it Xie Jin?”

Chen Ji still howled, “I am not a rebel party.”

“Or Hu Guang? Or Yang Rong?”

Suddenly, Ji Zhan’s eyes narrowed and his face was slightly grim.

He took his hand and lifted this almost deformed chin of Chen Ji and said, “It is impossible that it will be …… also lost ha? Or Zheng He? Or Wang Jinghong, Hou Xian, or Liu Yongcheng?”

Chen Ji winced.

These five at the back are the eunuchs of the dynasty most trusted by His Majesty.

He trembled, his mouth seemed to be unable to close, his eyes looked straight at Ji Gang: “I …… I …… I am a chaotic party …… I am a chaotic party ……”

Kizuna showed a disappointed look, “Without them?”

Chen Ji body like sieve chaff said: “No …… no …… have …… have …… have xie jin … …Xie Jin …… heard that I resigned, congratulate …… congratulate me ……”

Ji Gang turned back, glanced at the clerk of the Experience Division, and spat out only one word: “Remember.”

Immediately afterward, Ji Gang stared at Chen Ji again and said, “What else?”

“No more.” Chen Ji looked terrified.

Ji Gang, however, said, “You just said that you are a chaotic party, but what about your cohorts? ”

Chen Ji did not say anything.

Ji Gang, however, did not continue the interrogation and retreated into the darkness of the torture room.

With that, a few people stepped forward, and Chen Ji’s mournful screams came from inside again.

“I said …… I said ……”

Ji Gang took his seat, and in this torture room full of blood, he took the tea offered by a lieutenant, and took a sip of the tea in a good manner, and slowly said, “You can take your time, I am not in a hurry, we have time to maneuver.”

“Say …… I say …… there is one thing …… I know …… is really chaotic party……there are remnants of the Northern Yuan……they……they……have……secretly been trying to restore the former Yuan, they privately, called Emperor Hongwu a chaotic bandit …… they have been secretly colluding ……”

Ji Gang once again showed his disappointment when he heard this.

As the Commander of the Jinyiwei.

Often times, he may not actually care about what really is a chaotic party or what is left of it.

He was more concerned …… about whether he could pry something more favorable to him out of the mouth of one of the Chin prisoners.

So Kizuna stretched his back and calmly said, “Speak.”

“When I resigned from the government, some people contacted me, and they thought …… they must have thought that I was dissatisfied with the court, so …… they hoped to draw me in… …I …… I …… am too timid to agree to …… these people …… Their power is not small ……”

Ji Gang in Chen Ji stumbled to explain, but has been expressionless stand up, only back hands, slowly walked out of the torture room, leaving the clerk a sentence: “Record file.”

The person had slowly walked out of the torture room, leaving only Chen Ji still muttering to himself.

………………

A report was quickly sent to Zhu Di’s desk.

Zhu Di read the report, face with anger, then said, “This world, really there are people and Tartar collusion?”

Ji Gang lowered his head and said, “From Chen Ji’s statement, it should be ……”

Zhu Di sneered, “This is interesting enough to investigate thoroughly.”

Kizuna humbly said, “Here.”

“It’s just ……” After a pause Ji Gang said, “Chen Ji’s mouth can’t sled anything anymore.”

Zhu Zhu stroked the case and said icily, “It’s going to be fall, send him on his way.”

“Here.” Kizuna clasped his hands, then tiptoed out with his farewells.

As Kizuna exited the martial arts building, it so happened that Yilungha came in.

Ji Gang then busily piled up smiles and said, “Grand Duke ……”

Yilungha also said intimately, “These past few days, Commander Ji has worked hard.”

“Where is the Grand Duke’s toil in the presence of His Majesty?”

The two spoke. They nodded to each other, and then they staggered past.

Yay Lostha entered the martial arts building.

Zhu Di again glanced down at the report, his brows wrinkled deeply: “Thinking about the previous dynasty, my Ming unbearable to such a point?”

To be honest, Zhu Di is not worried that these remaining elements can really subvert the state of affairs of the Great Ming, but the insulting nature of this matter is extremely strong.

Zhu Di depressed look, then got up and said: “also, do not want these, let Ji Gang to investigate. There is always a way to get to the bottom of the matter and give me an explanation.”

Zhu then said to Yiluoha, “Pack up and go to Qixia.”

Yiluoha was stunned and said, “Your Majesty is going again?”

Zhu Di said, “There is my trade, that money bank …… moves so much, I still do not know is a loss is earned it, Zhang Anshi taught me not to ask, but how can I not ask? This is silver ah.”

Yiluoha understood that His Majesty had the money bank on his mind for the past few days and had to go there.

……

Shortly afterward, several Zhang Anshi dutifully came to meet them at the ferry.

Zhu Di originally do not like to sit on the ferry, but the ferry after all, convenient, and so he got off the boat, he saw a long time ago got the news of Zhang Anshi with a cadre of guards, hurried to meet.

Zhu Di looked at the carriages and horses here and smiled, “Very good, very good, a few more lively, Zhang Qing is really my Zhao Gongming ah.”

Zhao Gongming is the God of Wealth.

Zhang Anshi laughed; said: “dare not, dare not, casually earned a little sweat silver only, your majesty said so, the outside people and say that the minister convergence of wealth inordinately.”

Zhu Di said, “Where is the money bank lead me to see.”

Zhang Anshi did not dare to be slow, and hurriedly led Zhu Di to the nearest money changer.

Now the news of this money bank has spread, and people from the four villages and eight miles are willing to come here to deposit money and sue for loans.

Such small loans are most sought after today.

Seeing that there was already a big line here, Zhu Di and Zhang Anshi went in through the back door.

At the back of this money changer was a large number of men, tapping on their abacuses, and warehousing all the silver and coins deposited, while on the other side, there were men calculating the number of credits to be made.

There were dozens of people, each one doing their own thing, traveling back and forth, taking down a bill.

Zhu Di said, “These people …… are all hired?”

Zhang Anshi said, “Yes, this money changer alone employs more than seventy people, which are all required to be literate, so the pay is not low, even if they are just starting out, they are given ten taels of silver a month.”

Zhu said, “So expensive?”

He did not go to fetch those dense accounts to see, but the place, though cluttered, was not disorganized, but each person was responsible for the matter at hand, messy but not chaotic.

Zhang Anshi invited him to the second floor, in this building after Zhu sat down, Zhu said, “This money bank …… lends out silver only five percent interest?”

Zhang Anshi said, “Now is indeed five percent, the money changer side, will also be based on the actual situation, to adjust, but the adjustment is not large, roughly in this five percent up and down.”

Zhu Di said, “That Zhu Yunzhu said that you are doing good things, so it seems …… that you are really doing good things ah, five percent …… under this sky, I have not seen such interest.”

Zhu Di for the folk, is not ignorant, he sighed: “You ah you …… do good deeds is also very good, shows that you finally from me, learned a few points of love for the people.”

After a pause, Zhu added: “Just …… you are doing business, can not do good deeds to do without restraint ah, such interest, to suffer.”

Zhang Anshi smiled, “Your Majesty …… will not suffer.”

“With such a low interest rate, it wouldn’t be a loss?”

“Not only will not suffer a loss, but also can make a big profit.” Zhang Anshi said, “Your Majesty …… theoretically, how much silver we have on hand, so low interest lending out, indeed eat a loss. After all, …… there may be bad debts in it, and …… these silver to do something have a profit, why should we care about this area of five percent interest?”

Zhang Anshi paused and said, ”But has Your Majesty ever thought about what if the money we lend out is not our own? This means that we have an endless amount of silver. If you have a million taels of silver lent out, only to get five percent interest, certainly a year to the end, only to earn 50,000 taels, not much? But what if we have ten million taels, a hundred million taels, or even a thousand million taels?”

Zhu Di’s eyes dropped when he heard this, “You might as well make it clearer.”

Zhang Anshi said, “The purpose of our lending is to revitalize our business and at the same time give us greater influence and credit, in the eyes of others, so many people in the world owe us silver, is the credit of this money bank still questionable? Therefore, we take this …… will be able to absorb the savings, such as the minister, with two percent interest to encourage people to deposit the silver to our money bank.”

“In this way, the people’s excess surplus money, sent to the money bank, we give him two percent interest, turn around, we then five percent loan out, there is a spread in the middle, and this spread is not small, your majesty think about it, if we use the world with surplus money, turn around and loan out to the world in need of silver… …how terrible is the amount of gold and silver flow involved. Even if this addition and subtraction is only a three-percent spread, what does a three-percent spread of countless millions of taels of silver mean?”

Zhu Di this instantly understand, his body shook, eyes put out the essence of light, all of a sudden, Zhu Di dragon essence up.
