The so-called Houjin spies did it, this is just a superficial statement. If you really dare to use this thing to fool the emperor, then Dongchang and Jinyiwei will stop messing around.

After the two major spies of the Ming Dynasty jointly handled the case, the truth of the matter was quickly found out. The Beggar Gang secretly built a firecracker workshop in Tianqiao. Due to poor management, the firecracker workshop exploded, which caused a series of chain reactions.

Zhu Youxiao was so angry that his head was filled with smoke and cold sweat broke out on his back.

The overpass is so close to the Temple of Heaven. No wonder when we returned to the palace, the outside of the Temple of Heaven was in a mess. There were human corpses everywhere, as well as various building debris. Many people were lying on the ground with hideous faces. They were obviously shocked to death.

.

Damn, I lost my son just because of a bunch of beggars. The empire has no future heir. Zhu Youxiao angrily pointed at Wei Zhongxian's nose in the palace and cursed. The ground in the capital is not even, and those in the countryside

What will it look like?

Wei Zhongxian was so angry after being scolded that he dared to do this in the capital. Not only did he almost harm the emperor, but he also almost harmed me.

So many turtles and grandsons mobilized to launch a month-long crackdown in the capital. Led by Jin Yiwei and co-organized by Dongchang, they focused on cracking down on gang-related crimes. Even the Shenji Battalion was affected, and several lieutenants lost their heads.

General Pang Wanchun was imprisoned by Jin Yiwei. It is estimated that it will not be easy to escape in this life.

Beggar gangs are naturally the focus of severe crackdowns. When the state machine wants to slaughter a Jianghu gang, you will find that those high-spirited guys are worse than dogs.

Tian Ergen was scolded by Wei Zhongxian, and after he returned, he scolded Xu Xianchun. Xu Xianchun, who was angry, assembled thousands of guards in brocade uniforms. With lightning speed, they attacked the beggars in the capital.

Help the chief rudder.

The chief helmsman of the Beggar Clan, who had just finished decorating the funeral hall, was no match for the wolf-like Jin Yiwei. That night, the Beggar Clan was killed and a river of blood flowed out. The Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army also carried out an investigation on each branch helm of the Beggar Clan.

Encirclement and suppression.

Overnight, the beggar gang became a target for everyone in the capital. In just two days, the beggar gang running rampant in the capital became history.

There are also some disciples of the Beggar Clan who cannot see the situation clearly, so they set some fires at night, or attack the officers who are alone. Or they may harm the family members of the Jin Yiwei and the officers!

This time it was even worse. Originally the knife was only aimed at the upper class of the Beggar Gang. This time it was good, the butcher's knife was extended indiscriminately to all the beggars in the capital.

As soon as they heard Houjin Tartar's voice, the Imperial Guards were so frightened that their legs weakened. When they came to these Beggar Gang disciples, each of them was more ferocious than a big-tailed wolf. Groups of beggars were taken to the depths of Yanshan Mountain,

Just slap a knife on your neck and throw him off the cliff. As for whether he was eaten by a wolf or a fox, no one cares. Anyway, the bosses hate beggars very much these days, so you deserve your misfortune.

Xie Youcai looked at Li Xiao in awe. There are almost no beggars on the street these days. Even if there are, they are just some children and old men with gray hair and beards. The guys who usually live in groups seem to have disappeared from the world.

Same. I heard that they were all taken away by official servants, and no one knows where they were taken. The gossip in the government office was all sent to the mountains and lost.

Even though this man is less than twenty years old this year, he is really ruthless. There are tens of thousands of disciples of the Beggar Gang in the capital, and together with the ordinary beggars who have been implicated, Xie Youcai cannot even imagine how many people there are.

In just a few days, it disappeared.

The generals of the Shenji Camp were killed dozens of times. The once impressive Shenji Camp is now like a frightened cat, hiding at home and unwilling to go to the military camp. They are afraid of being bitten by someone, and then

The head was hung on the flagpole to dry.

It is said that a biting dog never barks. Xie Youcai looked at Li Xiao who was eating braised pork. If this guy eats people, he will definitely not spit out bones.

Li Xiao leisurely ate braised pork, things were going so smoothly. In the conscience of heaven and earth, he just wanted to kill Hong Qi at first. Who the hell knew that Hong Qi actually got so much gunpowder from the Shenji Camp.

I heard from Master Wu that there were tens of thousands of kilograms of gunpowder.

Oh my God! Tens of thousands of kilograms of gunpowder to make firecrackers? This gunpowder can be used as food, which is enough for you to eat for a while. If you don’t keep the gunpowder properly after you get it, you don’t know any common sense about safety and fire prevention.

As for the incident of throwing the prince to death, this was even more of a fucking accident. Li Xiao didn't care who became the prince at all. God knows how those knowledgeable guys in the Ministry of Rites chose that day. In fact, according to the direction of history,

, Zhu Youxiao should also have passed away this year. It’s already August, and he’s still so lively that he could trample his son to death. He doesn’t look like he’s sick.

Could it be that history has quietly changed. Zhu Youjian, who worked hard to bankrupt the Ming Dynasty, is still the first heir to the throne. But at this time, he is still just King Xin, and has to hide in Prince Xin's Mansion to pretend

grandson.

"What does it mean to be nine thousand years old on that piece of land on the overpass?" Li Xiao asked Xie Youcai. Now if he could avoid it, he would try not to meet Wei Zhongxian. On the one hand, he was repelling this scumbag in his heart, and on the other hand, he always felt that

Wei Zhongxian is not far from being unlucky. If you avoid meeting him now, you will save a lot of trouble in the future.

When other generals came to the capital, they didn't have to pay a visit first. But they had to report to Wei Zhongxian's residence, but Li Xiao tried his best not to face Wei Zhongxian. However, Wei Zhongxian still praised everyone he met, saying he knew him.

I generally know the rules of the imperial court!

Li Xiao knew damn well in his heart that every time Xie Youcai went there, the gifts were not delivered in trucks. They were hard currency that was in short supply in the capital, such as the big front door. Others just wanted to give it as a gift, but it was not that easy to get.

.Not to mention someone like Li Xiao, who delivers several boxes at a time. Wei Zhongxian actually doesn't care who comes to see him or not, what he cares more about is the attitude.

Sometimes, the weight of a gift also represents an attitude. Wei Zhongxian admires Li Xiao's down-to-earth attitude.

"Nine thousand years old promised to hand over the land to you for reconstruction, but he wants 20% of the shares." Xie Youcai looked at Li Xiao with some embarrassment.

"You agreed?"

"Uh...! I agreed!" Xie Youcai was afraid that Li Xiao would be unhappy because he made the decision without authorization. He looked at Li Xiao with a guilty conscience, fearing that this young man who could eat people without spitting out their bones would go on a rampage.

"Since you agreed, just follow what Jiu Qiansui said." Li Xiao doesn't really care whether Wei Zhongxian holds 10% of the shares or 20% of the shares. In his opinion, Wei Zhongxian can guarantee that no one will cause trouble at the construction site in the capital.

That's the most important thing.

In order to save 10% of the shares, not only did I offend Wei Zhongxian, but the officials in the court would come and take a bite like hungry wolves. Only then would the real losses be realized. Now that I have bribed the big gangsters, the little gangsters below are all obedient.

, after all, I still made money.

Many times, those at the bottom are the most difficult to deal with. Li Xiao didn't want to cause trouble, so he simply threw the trouble to Wei Zhongxian. With the courage of those little officials, he didn't dare to cause trouble for Wei Zhongxian. It's true.

As long as the stewards of Wei Zhongxian's family came forward to deal with the matter, they would scare the shit out of those ferocious little officials.

"No!" After hearing Li Xiao's immediate agreement, Xie Youcai felt relieved.

"I will go back to Shanhaiguan in a few days. You can ask Mr. Chen for instructions on matters in the capital. The expenses of the 20,000 soldiers will be borne by you, so don't leave me with no rice to cook."

"The villain will definitely do his best. If it weren't for your appreciation, the villain would be nothing more than a big teapot in a brothel, doing a despicable job and making people look down on him. Now the villain's mother and father have lived a good life.

Later, Manager Ai took the initiative and bought a house. The villain is very satisfied!"

"Just be content! Those who follow me, as long as there is nothing wrong with me, I will still give you what I can give you." Li Xiao replied lightly.

"No! The villain has taken note of it!" Xie Youcai hurriedly lowered his head and nodded.

"Oh! By the way, that guy Yang who roasts duck is pretty good. Find a lively place and open a roast duck restaurant for him. Tell him to add some tofu to the duck rack to make soup...!"

"No! Please give me a name for this roast duck restaurant!"

"Oh, let's call it Quanjude!"

"promise!"

After telling Xie Youcai, Li Xiao changed his clothes and left Tongzhou Biianfang headquarters with only the roast chicken brothers.

When the prince dies, I am afraid that the happiest person in the capital is Xin Wang Zhu Youjian. The second and third happiest people are Wang Tiqian and Wang Chengen. As for the second happiest person and the third happiest person, who is more happy?

If you are happier, it can only be said that they are indistinguishable.

Wang Tiqian has endured very hard recently, and he is obviously very happy in his heart. However, he has to pretend to look like his dead father on his face. This misalignment of his face for decades has almost caused Wang Tiqian to have a schizophrenia.

Today's errand was early, and Wang Tiqian arrived home early. It happened that Wang Chengen also arrived, so the two brothers prepared two small dishes in the study and drank a cup to celebrate.

Wang Tiqian rarely drinks because he is afraid of drinking too much and talking nonsense. Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. Living in the palace is the highest test of human IQ and EQ. Only the best guys can laugh at the end. Every year there will be

Smart people lose their official positions and even their lives because of nonsense.

"Haha! Brother, this Wuliangye is really good. Not to mention anything else, just the smell of it is a good wine. It must have been half a year since we drank together!" Wang Chengen picked up the wine glass with a smile and smelled it intoxicatedly.

A cup of Wuliangye.

"This is a gift from that boy Li Xiao. I'm willing to take two bottles with you. But don't be greedy. If you say the wrong thing, it will be fatal." Wang Tiqian and Wang Chengen clinked glasses and drained the wine.

.

"Master, are you happy?" Wang Tiqian asked as he put down his wine glass.

"Master, I am so happy. No one thought that something like this happened during the crowning ceremony of the prince. The prince was trampled to death by Long Live Lord. If you hadn't said it yourself, brother, I wouldn't have believed it.

Those guys from the Beggar Gang are really seeking death. They have tens of thousands of kilograms of gunpowder stored in the Tianqiao area. They are going to rebel! I think those guys from the Shenji Battalion did the right thing. The three major camps in the capital should also do well.

Renovation and remediation. Tens of thousands of kilograms of gunpowder are sold secretly for takeout. This is not bad." Wang Chengen took a bite of the food and ate without delay.

"Haha! They are all madmen. Those who want money are crazy, and those who want money are crazy. Wei Zhongxian has already ordered people to investigate, and has cut off dozens of them. They are all the hands of Jin Yiwei, and they are in the hands of Xu Xianchun. I don't want to say anything.

Nothing is impossible. People like Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou would not have died in his hands in the end."

"But having said that, brother! In these days, there are no officials who are not corrupt. How can the officials who are not corrupt get the money to pay filial piety to their superiors? If you don't show filial piety, who will promote you? That's how today's officialdom is. If you don't leave, you won't be invited.

No one can become an official without gifts. Where does the money come from? It’s not from greed. You can’t use the pitiful salary money to give gifts to your boss.

The expenses in this capital are so high, it’s hard for the whole family to survive.”

"It's not just like this today. Except for Taizu Hongwu, every generation of officials in the Ming Dynasty did not do things like this! They have been making do with it like this for more than two hundred years. As long as there are people, it will be...

Damn you live like this. If you want to live a clean life, you have to suffer poverty.

In the previous dynasty, there was a man named Hai Rui. His family was so poor that he was so poor. Every meal of meat became the talk of Zhejiang. You expect officials all over the world to do this, how is that possible? Just mess with it!"

"Let's get on with it!" Wang Chengen picked up the wine glass, and the two brothers clinked another glass.

"This time, the Beggars' Gang is in bad luck. Brother, didn't you say that the Beggars' Gang is looking for trouble with Li Xiao? Are you saying that this matter has something to do with that boy Li Xiao?"

"It shouldn't matter! It's not the beggars who are causing trouble for Li Xiao, but Qian Qianyi from Jiangnan. You know this person, a famous official in Jiangnan. Li Xiao's business has squeezed out many merchants in Jiangnan, so they sent Qian Qianyi here

The capital is preparing to overthrow Li Xiao. That guy is so damn rich, and he has the support of the Jiangnan plutocrats behind him, so his strength should not be underestimated."

"Qian Qianyi?"

"Do you recognize it?"

"He asked me to meet the master once, and then the master summoned me several times. The conversations were all in the secret room. I don't even know what he and the master talked about."

"What can we talk about? My master just wants to win the support of the Jiangnan plutocrats. After Donglin fell, Wei Zhongxian tried every means to get money from the Jiangnan plutocrats. The rich people in Jiangnan must have been hurt to the core.

If the master really lives in the Qianqing Palace, it is estimated that the first thing they will do when waiting for the master is to kill Wei Zhongxian. The rich people in Jiangnan are now willing to do anything to kill Wei Zhongxian."

"Wei Zhongxian was going to be killed!" Wang Chengen said nonchalantly. In his opinion, killing Wei Zhongxian and winning the support of the Jiangnan plutocrats was a very cost-effective deal.
Chapter completed!
