Once Huang Xiong died, the clues were cut off.

I just issued an order yesterday and drowned this morning. The opponent acted so quickly, so there must be ghosts here, let alone Huang Youlin or a literati who once took the lead in causing trouble?

This shows that someone had already reported the letter to the messenger behind the scenes, otherwise they would not have been able to deal with it so quickly.

Zhu Youlang made a judgment quickly.

"Look at Huang Youlin and see who he has contacted frequently. In addition, this matter is strange. Someone must have leaked the news in advance. You have to use your brain and think of ways to investigate the spreaders and dig out the leakers. This matter cannot be done well, so what's the use for you?!" Zhu Youlang motivated Dai Rufeng.

"Yes, yes, I will find out the truth as soon as possible." Dai Rufeng was scolded and agreed, but said in his heart: "Is there any reason for the son-in-law to scold his father-in-law? If you catch a mistake, you will scold him. Is the emperor addicted to scolding his father-in-law? Let's train him, let's train him. Anyway, this is not the first time my father-in-law has been scolded. We don't have the same knowledge as our son-in-law."

Dai Rufeng thought so, and carefully retreated out of his face and buttocks.

Ma Jixiang's movements were also very fast. Shortly after Dai Rufeng came to the palace, he asked for an order.

"I have reported to Your Majesty that I have checked the situation of the grain merchant yesterday."

"Come on."

"According to the order, there are four major grain merchants in Guangzhou City, Chen, Ji, Duan and Liu, and their shops are located in the east, south, west and north. After open and secret investigations, the four families are indeed suspected of hoarding goods. The three families of Chen, Duan and Liu have more than 10,000 stones of grain reserved. Now I have sealed the grain warehouse, but the grain reserved of the Ji family is empty. According to my estimate, the Ji family did not have grain reserved, but hid the grain elsewhere. I am rushing to investigate."

"Each family only has ten thousand stones of grain to store?" Zhu Youlang asked with a frown.

"yes."

"It's impossible. Just a little grain is impossible to support the Guangzhou market, and I can't make much money. Is these unscrupulous grain merchants so capable of making money?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, I also find it strange that I have stored 10,000 stones of grain and it was robbed in half a day. Now that the price of grain is high, they have no reason not to take this opportunity to make money."

"There must be a ghost here, check it out for me!"

"Abide by the order!" Ma Jixiang received the order loudly. Just as he was about to retreat, he saw a young eunuch coming in and kneeling down and reporting: "Your Majesty, I'm asking for a visit."

"Prince."

When Ma Jixiang heard that Chen Jitai was coming, he quietly stood beside him and wanted to see what happened.

"Your Majesty, I will bring my son to the palace to apologize."

"Hmm? Bring? Which one should I bring? The third brother Chen Ji?" Zhu Youlang felt a little confused when he heard this: "Apology? What crime should I ask?"

Thinking about Ma Jixiang's words again, he suddenly realized: "Oh, is the Chen family that Ma Jixiang mentioned, Chen Jitai? Is it the third brother who did it?"

Thinking of this, Zhu Youlang couldn't help but feel angry: "Okay, I'm still counting on you royal relatives to protect you. I didn't expect you to get a knife behind you? Okay, let's see the consequences of eating outside!"

"Brother Zhongyong, which son has committed a crime? What crime did you commit?" Zhu Youlang asked coldly.

"When you go back to your Majesty, I am not strict in discipline. My third son Chen Jicai and other grain merchants hoarded goods and made great money in the national crisis. I was found out that I took my son to the palace to apologize for punishment, and asked Your Majesty to punish me." Chen Jitai replied in a trembling voice.

He met Zhu Youlang all day long, and how could he not know the master's temper? When he heard this cold tone, he knew that the third brother would probably suffer this time. Even if he didn't die, he would probably be disabled.

The prince Chen Jitai was so worried that he was afraid that the emperor would neglect the Chen family and neglect his beloved, his daughter Chen Jiaoxi.

Chen Jitai is living a very comfortable life now. His daughter is Shufei, and he is a uncle. His eldest son is the governor of Fujian and his second son is the admiral of the navy. He is also in charge of the key military intelligence department and is ranked first in the advisor. He is respected everywhere he goes and is polite to him, which makes him very proud.

Chen Jitai has never cared about his family's industry and has left it to his third son for management, and it is well managed.

His main industry is a weaving workshop, which mainly produces cotton cloth and cotton yarn, and its products are mainly sold overseas through maritime trade. A few days ago, because they hired a large number of female workers, they were praised by the emperor.

The grain shop is just a small shop in all the industries of the Chen family. Chen Jitai did not take it seriously. Yesterday, when the emperor issued an order to investigate illegal grain merchants, it did not arouse Chen Jitai's alertness.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ji found himself early this morning and said that the Jinyiwei found the grain stored in his own grain warehouse and had been sealed.

Chen Jitai was shocked and asked carefully before he realized that his third son had unknowingly operated an inconspicuous grain shop into the largest shop in Guangzhou.

Of course, Chen Jitai knew that hoarding and raising prices was against the emperor's taboo. He couldn't help but be furious and ordered Guanguan to tie Chen Jicai up and take him to the palace to apologize.

He was worried on the road, and he handed over the third son to the emperor to deal with it. He could do whatever he wanted. It would be a pity for him to live. He could even rub himself to the end, but don't affect the future and destiny of the two legitimate sons and daughters.

"Silent! As a court honoree, he actually drowns on the kindness of the holy people and forgets his righteousness. Chen Jitai, do you think that the dignified national law is a false idea?" Zhu Youlang was furious when he heard this, pointing at Chen Jitai and cursing.

"It's over, I'm just nominating my name. It seems that this time it's a big trouble! Third, third brother, I've made you miserable. Damn, the little wife raises her but doesn't raise her with her legitimate wife." Chen Jitai was scolded so much that he kowtowed like pounding garlic. He felt aggrieved and scared in his heart.

"If your son doesn't teach you, it's your father's fault. Chen Jicai's evil deeds are inseparable from you. Cedar, I'll write an order!" Zhu Youlang was furious and called Gu Yanwu.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I have a memorial." Gu Yanwu quickly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed and said.

"Gu Yanwu! Why, do you want to plead for Chen Jitai? Or do you want to sell it for a good deal?" Zhu Youlang angrily scolded.

As soon as he saw the emperor getting angry, Gu Yanwu knew that Chen Jitai was in great trouble this time, but he had to sell Chen Jitai for face, even if he was vented by the emperor, he had to sell his face.

Gu Yanwu was so scared that his heart was trembling when he was asked by the emperor, but he still boldly advised: "Your Majesty, please calm down. How dare I depose the public for personal gain? I think that the Chen family father and son are both loyal ministers and good generals of the court. It is difficult to understand how their three sons do this. Could it be that there are other internal information? Therefore, I think Chen Jicaixuan should come to the palace and ask clearly. If he is really greedy for money and forgets his righteousness, it will not be too late to implement national laws."

"That's true, what else can I ask? Well, okay, it's okay to ask clearly. Li Hong, Xuan Chen Jicai went to the palace!" Zhu Youlang thought, and felt that what Gu Yanwu said had some truth. From which aspect, Chen Jicai shouldn't be like this. Could it be that there is really a hidden truth?
