Chapter 455: By the way, tell Donggong the news that I'm alive

Chapter 455 That’s right, tell Donggong the news that I’m alive

He didn't show up at all, and directly handed over the matter to Feng Wu,

Don't look at Feng Wu who is often used as a joke by Tie Zhu and others in private, but he has been following Feng Lisheng all year round, regardless of his official rank or ability, he is very capable, and it is more than enough to clean up a Jin family.

In less than a day, the entire Jin family was arrested and imprisoned, and everyone who needed to be investigated was clearly investigated.

At dusk, Feng Wu came back with a thick stack of confessions.

"Your Highness, not to mention crimes such as monopolizing the market by other fish and meat people, my subordinates have obtained some important news through the interrogation of Jin Caiwang, the master of the Jin family."

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, they were no different from ordinary merchants before this. They only focused on doing business and had little involvement with the government. Until more than ten years ago, Jin Caiwang took over the family business. He is smarter than his parents.

Although Qingyun County looks remote, it is backed by mountains and the climate is warmer. There are not only many rare woods here, but also countless precious herbs in the mountains. But because the place is too remote, things can only be sold layer by layer. For example, a rare herb can be sold for several hundred taels in the capital, but the original price is less than twenty taels.

Jin Caiwang took advantage of these contacts to deal with some officials in Fucheng and joined hands, skipped layers of middlemen, and sold these things at high prices. He only got 10% of the money he got, and the only requirement was to help his son Jinbao get fame.

Cheating in scientific examinations is a capital crime of ransacking one's family and exterminating one's family. These people naturally refused to agree at first, but the money is touching, and they have tasted the sweetness of quick money, so how can they be willing to let go? So Jinbao "smoothly" passed the Tongsheng, Xiucai, and even Juren examinations. "

Speaking of this, Feng Wu clenched his fists angrily. 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, Great Xia Kingdom has always done a good job in this regard.

However, in a corner that people can't see, some bad atmosphere seems to be spreading a little bit.

He couldn't help but think of a passage His Highness once said:

"When a dynasty develops to a certain level, it will turn from prosperity to decline under the impetus of various situations. Today's Great Xia Kingdom seems to be prosperous, but it has experienced the factional disputes caused by the late emperor's seizure of the heir, which caused the court to almost hurt its muscles. To the bone, although the emperor tried his best to rectify the administration of officials after he came to power, some bad governance has already formed. If left unchecked, it will be a matter of time before the Great Xia Kingdom turns from prosperity to decline.

If you want the Great Xia to go on in the long run, you must introduce the new through the old, and launch a new policy in the next twenty years. But throughout the dynasties, new coups have always been accompanied by **** storms, such as the Shang Yang Reform in the Qin Dynasty.

Therefore, the candidate for the next emperor is very important. He should not be too mediocre or self-willed. "

Withdrawing his thoughts, he sighed inwardly as he looked at the calm Feng Lisheng.

He has been by His Highness's side for so many years, although His Highness usually doesn't like to talk much, but this time we met, although His Highness behaved as usual, the brothers clearly felt His Highness's alienation.

After asking, I found out that His Highness really lost his memory.

Feng Lisheng asked him: "What else did he do?"

Feng Wu was a little relieved that although His Highness had forgotten the past, his mind was still so good.

He opened the confession to the last two pages: "Besides, Jin Caiwang also has contacts with people in the East Palace."

Feng Lisheng heard the words and directly took the confession from him.

"Three years ago, Ye Chen asked someone to contact him, and wanted to buy a large amount of sulfur saltpeter. Jin Caiwang asked his people to look for it. As a result, he really found a large one on a barren mountain a hundred miles away in Qingyun County. Nitre mine."

After speaking, he couldn't help asking: "The prince wants these sulfur and saltpeter to make gunpowder? But I always feel that it doesn't make sense."

In this era of cold weapons, although people have invented gunpowder and the simple version of firecracker grenades derived from it, due to technical limitations, people prefer to strengthen bows and crossbows in battle. And the most important point is that the Shenji Battalion that makes the firecrackers 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 somewhat unreasonable.

Feng Lisheng waved his hand: "Left is only used on the battlefield,

By the way, tell Donggong the news that I am alive. "

Feng Wu understood his intention after a little thought: "Your Highness wants to force the prince to take the initiative?"

Feng Lisheng stood up, glanced at the sky, calculated that it was time for Shen Mingjiao to eat, and thought about what to cook tonight, and said casually: "This matter has been dragging on for too long, and it would be better for everyone to resolve it early. Alright." After saying that, he went straight to the kitchen.

Liu Feng Wu shook his head and sighed on the spot. She had to urge the imperial doctor to find a way to restore His Highness's memory.

…

In order to get back to the best condition as soon as possible, Shen Mingjiao strictly followed the doctor's instructions these days, eating and sleeping, and adding various acupuncture and moxibustion treatments. Finally, on the fourth morning, Doctor Wu announced that she was recovering well.

Pushing open the door, I saw a slightly fat woman sitting beside the bed. After these few days of detoxification, Yaya has changed almost every day. Now the spots on her face have basically disappeared, and her figure is even visible to the naked eye. The speed wasted down. The outline of the facial features of the whole person also appeared, and this face gradually overlapped with the sister in memory.

Until now, Shen Mingjiao still feels that it is unreal. In her previous life, she had been looking for her sister for so many years, but in this life, she found her by such a coincidence!

Physician Wu opened the medicine box and began to prepare the tools to be used later, Yaya grabbed Shen Mingjiao's hand in fear.

Xu Chunsheng stretched out his slender and beautiful hand and stroked her head comfortingly: "Why don't I stay!"

The witch doctor refused mercilessly: "You will affect us if you stay here."

Looking at the shiny silver needles, although Yaya was also scared, she still waved her hand to Xu Chunsheng with a smile: "Husband, wait for me outside obediently. When I get better, I want to eat three delicacies dumplings."

Xu Chunsheng didn't say anything else, and left obediently, but didn't go far. He just stood quietly at the door of the room, making sure that he could rush in as soon as possible in case of an accident.

In the room, after everything was ready, Shen Mingjiao quietly stared at Yaya's eyes, until her ignorant eyes became dull, and the doctor Wu began to give the injection.

Good night! Originally, I wanted to finish writing the Qingyun County section today, but I still overestimated myself.
