Chapter 1427: loyal ministers

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

To be honest, he felt embarrassed if no one scolded him a few times.

Do people who do big things care about others' scolding?

Seeing Fang Jifan like this, Emperor Hongzhi laughed.

He could understand Fang Jifan's feelings.

Because he is often scolded.

Even if his private life is too concise, he was scolded by the censors for favoring him alone. Unfortunately, the palace maids are really unfilial.

It means that emperor, you have to find more women so that you can have more sons, otherwise how can you be worthy of your ancestors?

Some people even compared the behavior of Emperor Hongzhi's solemnity to Emperor Chenghua and Concubine Wan, and they wanted to point at his nose and scold Emperor Hongzhi for being so perverted.

But so what?

Emperor Hongzhi said earnestly: "This is my move to clear your grievances."

He paused, looked at Fang Jifan's still plain expression, and couldn't help but say again: "Don't you care about the name behind you?"

Fang Jifan thought about it, turned around and looked at Zhu Houzhao with curly hair, and said in his heart... The name behind him...

No matter how bad it is, it shouldn't be so bad that this guy is.

Fang Jifan said: "My son only cares about what is happening in front of him, and he doesn't care about what happened next."

"Nonsense." Emperor Hongzhi said in a deep voice: "How can people not pay attention to their reputation? You are still young and don't know the taste of sorrow. When you want to repair it in the future, it will be too late. Now someone wants to throw dirty water on you. Who is Jiang Yan... I don't care about it. The most important thing is that after he made this report, there will be many people who will follow you in the future. How can I share my worries for me, but I will bear the eternal infamy. Others come to verify, but I believe it. I know very well that many people are not the same as me."

Speaking of this, Emperor Hongzhi seemed a little excited: "I came to investigate myself. If I am guilty, I will not forgive you, but if I have ulterior motives, I will never let you suffer any grievances if I have ulterior motives and frame you."

Fang Jifan's head shook slightly when he heard this, and he wondered if he should be moved.

Emperor Hongzhi's expression calmed down and he said, "Let's go, go to this money house first."

Emperor Hongzhi entered the money shop. The client in front of the door was about to entertain guests. He opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly he was pushed away by the shopkeeper who was stationed here.

The shopkeeper saw Fang Jifan's eyes.

Ordinary people may not be able to recognize Fang Jifan.

But the shopkeeper has always followed Wang Jinyuan. He has met Fang Jifan several times, and he has to recognize his master's master even if he turns into ashes.

With a snap... the shopkeeper knelt down very simply and said, "Little Man Wu Ding, I have seen the Duke. The Duke is condescending here. It is a blessing for the villain to meet the Duke today. Today, I can see the Duke. The Xishan Money House Qingpingfang Branch is even more encouraging. The small Money House Branch is full of glory."

He blinked hard, and his eyes became redder with great professional ethics. His eyes were foggy, as if he was about to cry. Then he choked up his voice: "The villain is thinking about it day and night. His greatest wish in his life is to be able to go to the prince in person and serve him. If this can be done, even if he is cut into pieces immediately, he will not frown. He would not expect that today...

Fang Jifan: "..."

This man is so shameless.

Very annoying.

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

Emperor Hongzhi smiled disconcertedly and said, "Go to the back hall and let them pick up the book."

Emperor Hongzhi pretended that he didn't see it, and with his hands behind his back, he went straight into the back hall.

Zhu Houzhao and Xiao Jing were busy following in.

Fang Jifan was left behind and seemed very embarrassed. He couldn't help but scold, "If you are a dog-like thing, you know that you have to open a dyeing shop for a little bit of color. Look at it, you hate it. What are you talking about? Take the book of income and expenditure."

However, Wu Ding did not feel sad because he was Fang Jifan. Instead, he smiled and said happily: "Yes, yes, the villain deserves to die. He shouldn't be in front of the prince. He was too excited. Please go to the back hall for a while. The villain will prepare a book for you now."

Fang Jifan just chased him in.

When he arrived at the back hall, Emperor Hongzhi sat down. Seeing that everyone was standing, he said gently: "Sit down, I... Since I am a private visit, there are no rules for the monarch and ministers for the time being."

Fang Jifan and others sat down, and Wu Ding had someone to make tea. Everyone was drinking tea. Fang Jifan didn't know what his Majesty was going to investigate.

When Wu Ding took the book, Emperor Hongzhi took it and flipped it over and page by page.

This is all the situation where the people who were harmed by the thief get back the stolen money.

It records the names of each person, where he lives, how much money he has paid, and their seals and signatures later to show that the money has been taken away.

This Xishan Money House has a special set of financial rules. After all, such a big deal involves countless money, so you must be extra careful.

This also made Emperor Hongzhi easy to check.

Emperor Hongzhi sat, looking at the dazzling array of names seriously, but murmured: "Chen Zhong, who lives in Jiujiang Street, Qingpingfang, has been settled..."

He looked at the man named Chen Zhong, pondered for a moment, and then continued to read down.

Every word and line inside is clear and clear, and there are traces to follow.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at it for a long time before he looked up, put the book on it, looked at Wu Ding and said, "There are many such books."

Wu Dingzi knew that this man who even respected the prince was great, so he dared not neglect. He hurriedly said, "There are 79,325 people who have settled the bills at that time. All the bills have been recycled, and they have signed and sealed them. There are 23 books in total..."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and said, "It's really hard. You can finish so many things in just a few days."

Wu Ding said: "The process of lending is quite simple. Besides, the people flocked to the semicolons of many money houses. There were many counters for each semicolon, and a lot of people were sent. What I was afraid of was that some people were anxious to wait. They were so busy that they were not stuck in the ground a few days ago, but now they are a little free."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled a little and praised: "Okay."

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

Now...leave?

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan were still unable to figure out the way Emperor Hongzhi, so they had to follow suit obediently.

After leaving the money shop's semicolon, Emperor Hongzhi turned around: "This is Qingpingfang, and where is Jiujiang Street?"

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

In this way, if right and wrong are true, you can see it clearly at once.

Fang Jifan bit his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, this is Jiujiang Street."

"Let's go and find Chen Zhong."

Emperor Hongzhi was very thrilling.

This is someone he chose randomly and cannot be faked.

Immediately, Emperor Hongzhi was arduously quenching and found a cement-watered apartment building.

There are many people living in this building, and most of the people entering and leaving here are ordinary people. After all, those who have money will go to the land to live in a large mansion. However, such a building similar to an apartment is awkward to live in, but it is just a place to live in a small residence.

When I found my residence, I heard a cough coming from it.

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

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

After a while, the door opened from inside, and it turned out to be an old man who opened the door.

It seems that when he was in his seventies, the old man's back was already hunched, his face was full of vicissitudes. Looking at the uninvited guests outside, it seemed a little surprised.

He coughed for a while, and before he could speak, Emperor Hongzhi said, "I am from the Xishan Money House. A few days ago, you collected silver from the money house. We are ordered to visit us. Are you called Chen Zhong?"

When the old man heard that it was from Xishan Money House, his face turned to a diligent look in a blink of an eye and said with a smile: "This...This...Chen Zhong is the little old man, please, please sit in the room."

This is a family with almost no walls. There is almost no decoration on the cement wall. When you enter it, you smell a strong smell of medicine.

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes looked around.

Finally, he discovered something unusual in the room.

Hanging on the wall is a knife.

Logically speaking, ordinary people are not allowed to hide their swords, which is a violation of the ban by using martial arts.

However, the knife was already rusty and the head of the knife was obviously broken.

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

Chen Zhong didn't seem to have much doubt about Emperor Hongzhi. He reluctantly leaned on a stick and said, "Yes, yes, right."

"You have ever been to the army?" Emperor Hongzhi looked sideways and looked at Chen Zhong carefully.

Chen Zhong had long disappeared from his military appearance, but nodded: "The young man is fifty-seven years old. At that time, he was a military household in Jinzhou Guard."

Jinzhou...

Emperor Hongzhi nodded secretly, and he looked at the knife with a gap and rusty mark: "This knife seems to be a little old and has a gap on it. Why have you been on the battlefield?"

Speaking of this, Chen Zhong's turbid eyes seemed to have a little more color: "In the ninth year of Chenghua, the Tatars invaded the border. The little old man was in his prime at that time and was ordered to station in Yongxing Fort. The Hu thieves attacked and killed Yongxing Fort for 37 days and surrounded him. The former general of the former captive commanded the forts to defend to the death, waiting for the imperial army to come to support. The little old man followed the thousand-house officials and defended them for 37 days, killing them in the dark. The reason why there was a gap in this knife was caused by that war. Fortunately, thanks to the blessing of the emperor, the little old man finally survived and left his leg severity."

Emperor Hongzhi then noticed that Chen Zhong limped while walking with a cane.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but feel slightly moved.
