First Minister of Ming Dynasty Chapter 231

Popular recommendation:

Jiang Nan had been wandering around Jinling for several days, and she was also curious about what kind of place it was, where women were allowed to take exams, and there was even a proposal for women to be officials. Wouldn't it be a joke?

But when she walked on the streets of Jinling, she gradually realized that maybe it wasn't, this city was not the same as it used to be...

"Seventh uncle, don't you feel like something is missing?"

Seventh Uncle took a serious look, and then smiled: "Girl, the casinos are closed!"

"casino?"

"Yes! Not only casinos, but also brothels. It seems that there are not many pawnshops."

Jiang Nan frowned slightly, it was indeed a lot less. There is no doubt that casinos and brothels are harmful places, and even the pawnshops are places where they are knocked out.

"It's really gone! Seventh uncle, are they all from the Zhu family's military pass?"

"Yeah!" Seventh Uncle nodded, "I've inquired, Zhu Jiajun is really unusual, his tricks are extraordinary, and he dares to do things that others can't do. In the past, Jinling, with powdery fireworks, was prosperous. Now it is clean and revealing. A burst of vigor!"

Jiang Nan smiled slightly, "Seventh Uncle, then you say, which Jinling is better?"

Seventh Uncle sighed: "It doesn't need to be said! Of course, the present is better, but today's Jinling has fewer opportunities to sit back and enjoy it. I'm afraid that the wealthy and wealthy people may not like it!"

Jiang Nan blinked and suddenly said, "Then Seventh Uncle, do you think our Jiang family is a rich family?"

Jiang family?

It seems that it is really hard to say. The history of the Jiang family is not short. It can be traced back for hundreds of years. It is not a top wealthy family, but also a wealthy family.

It's just that the Jiang family has not been very prosperous. When the Song Dynasty fell, the Jiang family also lost a lot of people. In the past hundred years, it has become more and more sparse, and there are no officials who have entered the dynasty. They are just ordinary Hui merchant families. Bar!

Fortunately, the order was signed with Zhu Jiajun, and the family showed signs of re-development.

"Girl, the Jiang family is upright, and the master treats people with generosity. If you want me to say that sooner or later the Jiang family will be rich and rich! How can they catch up with the uncle and the master's family!"

Jiang Nan couldn't help laughing, "Seventh uncle can really speak, uncle is a scholarly family, and half of Suzhou is owned by them. Unless you have the ability to buy half of Jinling, why should you be compared with your uncle? What's more My uncle is a first-class figure in the world, and he married the best wife in the world, and he is like a goddess, who wouldn't envy him?"

When he mentioned his uncle's house, Jiang Nan's interest suddenly came, and he continued.

Seventh Uncle laughed, "Girl, if you pass the exam this time, if you become an official, you will be able to see your aunt."

Jiang Nan's heart moved, but she had an idea, but she still shook her head, "Suzhou is currently in Zhang Shicheng's hands. I heard that his reputation is far inferior to that of Zhu Jiajun. Now that the news is isolated, it is easy not to cause trouble."

Jiang Nan chatted with Seventh Uncle and walked to the front of a tavern. It was also near noon. They asked for two dishes and something to eat. They walked in, but found two guys who were carrying a person out.

The person being carried tried desperately to explain, "I was wronged, so, how is that a fake treasure?"

The guy sneered, "It's true and false, we know each other, you come to eat, and you don't have a lot of money, even if you eat a meal for free, it's nothing. But you shouldn't lie to people with fake treasure money, let me tell you , this matter is not trivial, if you can't get it right, you will be cut off!"

"what!"

The man screamed in fright, "You, you can't treat me like this, Zhu Jiajun is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, how can you frame a good person... I'm wronged! I'm wronged!"

Encountering this kind of thing head on, Jiang Nan planned to slip away, but just as she turned to leave, she suddenly felt that the man's shouting voice was so familiar.

She turned her head, looked carefully, and suddenly exclaimed, "Uncle!"

When he shouted out, the man turned his head sharply and saw Jiang Nan. He hadn't recognized the girl yet, but he found Uncle Seven... He subconsciously turned his head to the side, for fear of being recognized, with an old face, It's as red as fire!

[Recommendation, Mimi reading and chasing books is really easy to use, download it here and you can try it. 】

Seventh Uncle also recognized at this time, this person is the uncle they have been talking about for a long time, if it is a coincidence, it is really a coincidence, how did he come to Jinling?

Aren't they two identical people?

After all, Master Zheng, no matter how downhearted he is, he will not look like this!

But at this moment, a few patrolling soldiers came over.

When the guy saw it, he immediately came up and handed a treasured banknote to the soldier.

The soldier took it in his hand, just looked at it, and already recognized it, it was indeed fake.

"This person uses fake treasure money?"

The guy nodded, "I don't know if he still has it!"

The soldiers came over, grabbed the man, tore his shirt open, and a thick stack fell out of his arms. The soldier leaned over to pick it up, only to take a cursory look, and then turn pale in shock.

"There are so many fake treasures, it's really brave, send him to the government office, look at it, this head can't be saved!"

The soldiers grabbed the man and went straight to the yamen.

This person is already stunned at the moment, he is struggling desperately at this moment, and keeps defending, but it is of no use at all.

Jiang Nan was so frightened when he saw his uncle being taken away, "Seventh Uncle, no, did you admit it?"

Seventh Uncle shook his head, "Girl, it is indeed Uncle Master. Why did he take so many treasures? He was arrested? We can't ignore it!"

Jiang Nan pondered for a while, then hurriedly chased after him.

By the time they arrived at the government office, the news had already spread.

As the biggest counterfeiting case since the issuance of treasure banknotes, the chief coinage master Lu Zhou was called over, along with Zhu Ying.

He is also very curious, who is it, such a bold person, who does not want to live?

When they saw each other, they were a little discouraged.

The person who committed such a big case was actually just a poor middle-aged man.

Lu Zhou took a serious look and said, "You have two thousand treasure notes on your body. Such a large amount is enough to chop ten heads off of you! You should clarify as soon as possible, where did these treasure notes come from?"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh, suddenly raised his slap, slapped his face, and slapped hard several times, blood flowing down the corner of his mouth.

"I, I deserve it, kill me!"

He was completely despairing and begging for death.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside, and Jiang Nan walked in not long after. She rushed straight to the man.

"Uncle, do you still recognize me?"

The man was stunned again, he turned his eyes with difficulty, looked at Jiang Nan, tears welled up, and he couldn't stop it.

"Uncle is a waste, uncle is useless!"

Jiang Nan could only keep comforting, and then said to the man: "Uncle, I, I just took the examination of the Bachelor's Academy. If you have anything to do, just say it, maybe, maybe I can help you!"

After Jiang Nan finished speaking, the man didn't do much, Zhu Ying was stunned, my God, it's you?

This thing is getting more and more interesting.

What the **** is going on?

After a while, the man seemed to calm down and finally spoke up... His name was Shi Boren, who was Jiang Nan's uncle. The Shi family was a very rich man in Suzhou. That is Shi Boren's wife.

That's right, his daughter-in-law is a famous talented girl named Zheng Yunduan.

When these two families get together, their money and wealth are equal, one from a scholarly family, the other from a talented woman in the world. When they get married, who doesn't say envy!

At that time, Jiang Nan was still young, but it was also engraved in his heart and unforgettable.

What is Jinyu Liangyuan?

But all good things don't last long.

With the rise of the Red Turban Army, both the Shi family and the Zheng family suffered a catastrophe... First, Monk Peng attacked Hangzhou, and they lost a lot of money, and then the local villagers were organized in various places. Chen Yexian took 300,000 taels from the Shi family at one time.

It is also fortunate that the two have a rich background and can still support.

But when Zhang Shicheng crossed the Yangtze River and won Suzhou City, the unfortunate days for these two families came.

Zhang Shicheng urgently needed money to expand his troops and support hundreds of thousands of people. He didn't learn Zhu Jiajun's equal share of land and acres, but he learned to attack the tyrants thoroughly.

The Shi family and the Zheng family were both very rich, but they got married again.

It's you!

Zhang Shicheng's sword was held high, and sustainable fishing began.

100,000 taels today, 200,000 taels tomorrow... I'm not afraid that the sheep will get fatter, as long as they work hard, without half a year's effort, the two families will be difficult to maintain, and the mountains and rivers will be exhausted.

What's even worse is that Zheng Yunduan is still ill. This famous talented woman just gave up when she was in her thirties.

In grief, Shi Boren buried his wife, spent the last of his family property, and even sold the house. After he had no choice but to take his wife's manuscript and some antique calligraphy and paintings, he escaped from Suzhou and went to Jinling.

Hearing this, Jiang Nan was shocked. His aunt, who was like a fairy, died at an early age?

Zhang Shicheng, this bastard, is too hateful!

"Uncle, you, how did you get together with the treasure money? Who gave it to you?"

Shi Boren was stunned, suddenly sighed, and burst into tears, "I, I'm really confused! When I arrived in Jinling, I rented a house to sort out your aunt's manuscripts. I was afraid that all these efforts would be wasted... A few days ago, I, I I took out a few antiques, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com begged someone to help me change them into treasure notes. He has changed them for me several times. Everyone is very honest. I thought about changing more this time. If it works, I will I'll help your aunt to print the poems. But, why doesn't he preach faith?"

Hearing this, Zhu Ying couldn't help laughing: "Sure enough, you have been in the deep house compound for a long time. I don't know that people's hearts are sinister. Why don't you go to Baochao Bank by yourself?"

"I, I..." Shi Boren Nuonuo was speechless. With his background, in the past many years, he had never done anything by himself. It was really hard for him to make him show his face.

Moreover, Zhu Jiajun also closed many pawnshops in Jinling. He had antiques and treasures, and he had no place to pawn, so he could only ask others for help.

Once or twice, when people saw that he was too easy to bully, they made a bad move.

After listening to her uncle's statement, Jiang Nan really sympathized. She thought of her aunt's tragic death and couldn't help crying. She looked up at Lu Zhou and Zhu Ying, and said eagerly, "I, what my uncle said is absolutely true. , I, I am willing to pay for him, and I hope to spare his life!"

Lu Zhou hurriedly said: "No, if it is what he said, not only is there no crime, but we will catch the real culprit and bring those antiques back."

Zhu Ying nodded, "That's right, let him tell me, who is immoral?"

Jiang Nan turned to look at Shi Boren, "Uncle, hurry up and say it!"

Shi Boren was stunned, and then said: "This person said that he is the nephew of my landlord, and there is a black mole on the corner of his mouth... I, let me draw a picture for you!"

A quarter of an hour later, a lifelike portrait fell into the hands of Lu Zhou and Zhu Ying.

Really worthy of a great talent, the painting is so good!

"It's done, just wait, you'll be caught soon."
