Chapter 455 By the Way, Reveal the News that I Am Alive to Donggong
He didn't show up at all and left the matter directly to Feng Wu.
Even though Feng Wu was often made fun of by Tiezhu and others in private, he had been following Feng Lisheng all year round. Regardless of his rank or ability, he was very capable, and he was more than enough to take care of the Jin family.
In less than a day, all members of the Jin family were arrested and imprisoned, and everything that should be interrogated and investigated was clearly revealed.
At dusk, Feng Wu came back with a thick stack of confessions.
"Your Highness, not to mention other crimes such as monopolizing the market for fish and meat, my subordinates have found out some important information through the interrogation of the Jin family master Jin Caiwang."
Feng Lisheng put down the book, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it about the backer behind the Jin family?"
Feng Wu nodded: "Yes, although the Jin family has always been a big merchant in Qingyun County, before that, they were no different from ordinary merchants. They only focused on doing business and were not deeply involved with the government. It was not until more than ten years ago that Jin Caiwang took over the family business. He is smarter than his fathers.
Although Qingyun County looks remote, it is backed by mountains and has a warm climate. Not only are there many rare woods, but there are also countless precious herbs in the mountains. But because the place is too remote, things can only be sold one level at a time. For example, a rare herb can be sold in the capital for several hundred taels, but its original price is less than twenty taels.
Jin Caiwang used these to make contacts with some officials in Fucheng and joined forces, skipping all the middlemen and selling these things at high prices. He only received 10% of the money earned. His only requirement was to help his son Jinbao gain fame.
Fraudulent scientific research is a capital crime of confiscating one's family and annihilating one's family. Naturally, these people refused to agree at first, but the money is so attractive, and they taste the sweetness of quick money, how can they be willing to let it go? So Jinbao "successfully" passed the examinations of Tongsheng, Xiucai, and even Juren. "
Speaking of this, Feng Wuqi clenched his fists. He also came from a poor family. For many poor students, the scientific examination is the only shortcut to change their destiny.
Because of the strict sentencing, Daxia Kingdom has always done very well in this regard.
However, in the invisible corners, some bad trends seem to be spreading little by little.
He couldn't help but think of something His Highness once said:
"When a dynasty develops to a certain level, its prosperity will turn into decline under the influence of various circumstances. Today's Great Xia Kingdom seems to be prosperous, but it has experienced the partisan disputes caused by the late emperor's seizure of the throne, which almost caused the court to suffer injuries. Although the emperor's brother worked hard to rectify the government after taking office, some bad policies have already been formed. If left unchecked, it will be a matter of time before the Great Xia Kingdom turns from prosperity to decline.
If we want Daxia to go forward in the long run, we must innovate and introduce new policies within the next twenty years. But throughout the past dynasties, new coup laws have always been accompanied by bloodshed, such as Shang Yang's reform during the Qin Dynasty.
Therefore, the choice of the next emperor is very important. He should not be too moderate, nor will he be self-willed. He should be decisive enough to kill and have the ability to govern the country. "
After withdrawing his thoughts and looking at Feng Lisheng with a calm expression, he sighed in his heart.
He has been with His Highness for so many years, and although His Highness is usually not very talkative, this time they met, although His Highness behaved as usual, the brothers clearly felt His Highness's alienation.
After asking, I found out that His Highness really had lost his memory.
Feng Lisheng asked him: "What else did he do?"
Feng Wu was a little relieved. Although His Highness had forgotten what happened in the past, his mind was still so good.
He opened the confession to the last two pages: "In addition, Jin Caiwang also has contacts with people from the East Palace."
Upon hearing this, Feng Lisheng directly took the confession in his hand.
"Three years ago, Ye Chen asked someone to contact him and wanted to purchase a large amount of sulfur and saltpeter. Jin Caiwang asked his people to look for it. In the end, they found a large place on a barren mountain a hundred miles away in Qingyun County. Saltpeter Mine.”
After speaking, he couldn't help but ask: "The prince wants these brimstone and saltpeter to make gunpowder? But it doesn't make sense."
In this era of cold weapons, although people have invented gunpowder and derived simple versions of firecrackers and grenades, due to technical limitations, people would rather strengthen their bows and crossbows during battles. And the most important point is that the Shenji Battalion that makes the fire guns is firmly in the hands of the military, that is, His Highness. He can guarantee that these people will not betray.
And it seems that the other party needs a lot, which is a bit unreasonable.
Feng Lisheng waved his hand: "Zuo is only useful on the battlefield.
By the way, reveal the news that I am alive to Donggong. "
Feng Wu thought about it and understood his intention: "Your Highness wants to force the prince to take action?"
Feng Lisheng stood up, took a look at the sky, and calculated that it was time for Shen Mingjiao to eat. He was thinking about what to cook tonight. Hearing this, he said casually: "This matter has been delayed for too long. It would be helpful for everyone to resolve it as soon as possible." Okay." After saying that, he went straight to the kitchen.
Tuliu Feng Wu shook his head and sighed. She had to urge Doctor Wu to think of a way to restore His Highness's memory. If this continued, they were afraid that the strategizing God of War General in their hearts would change his career and become a cook!
…
In order to return to her best condition as soon as possible, Shen Mingjiao strictly followed the doctor's instructions for the past few days, eating and sleeping when she should, and also added various acupuncture treatments. Finally, on the morning of the fourth day, Doctor Wu announced that she was recovering well.
Opening the door, I saw a slightly fat woman sitting next to the bed. After these few days of detoxification, Yaya almost looked the same every day. Now the spots on her face have basically disappeared, and her figure is even more visible to the naked eye. Lose weight quickly. The outline of the whole person's facial features also appeared, and this face gradually overlapped with the sister in the memory.
Until now, Shen Mingjiao still felt it was unreal. She had been looking for her sister for so many years in her previous life, and now she found her by chance!
Doctor Wu opened the medicine box and began to prepare the tools that would be used later. Yaya clenched Shen Mingjiao's hand in fear.
Xu Chunsheng stretched out his slender and beautiful hand and touched her head comfortingly: "How about I stay?"
The witch doctor refused without mercy: "You will affect us if you stay here."
Looking at the bright silver needles, although Yaya was also scared, she still smiled at Xu Chunsheng and waved her hand: "Husband, please wait for me outside. When I get better, I want to eat three fresh dumplings."
Xu Chunsheng said nothing more and left obediently, but did not go far. He only stood quietly at the door of the room to ensure that he could rush in as soon as possible if there was an emergency.
In the room, after everything was ready, Shen Mingjiao stared quietly into Yaya's eyes. It wasn't until her confused eyes became dull that Doctor Wu began to inject the needle.
Good night! I originally wanted to finish writing the Qingyun County section today, but I ended up overestimating myself.
