When Huang Liji heard about the big deal, he seemed to have understood something.

The huge profit is touching!

Moreover, the business over the past century has produced such huge profits. In this huge profit link, there are not just some merchants?

To put it bluntly, whether it is Duke Cheng or these merchants, in essence, they are just one link in these huge profits.

This is equivalent to a large group of people establishing a canal transport leading to the outside of the pass. In the canal transport... there are millions of canal workers, dozens or hundreds of people, from the upstream to the downstream, begging for food from this canal transport.

But they were so desperate that Emperor Tianqi and Zhang Jingyi suddenly started from Duke Cheng and broke the interest link in a row.

So...what should these countless people who originally relied on this to do?

Not only those who made huge profits... need to escape with their families, but countless people also lost their livelihoods in an instant.

Naturally, there will be people who are unwilling to accept it. The ones who are most unwilling to accept it are those people in the border town waiting.

It is almost conceivable that the entire profit model is nothing more than a collusion between people in the capital, such as Duke Cheng of the State. They steal a large amount of military supplies, buy various tea, salt and other daily necessities, and then transport them by a group of merchants.

Merchants need to pass numerous levels to feed the soldiers in the border town. These border town military officers are afraid that a big gift will be delivered to them every year, and even ordinary guards will receive one or two taels of silver every month.

When the things were sent to Mongolian tribes, or Jiannu, the Mongolian and Jiannu people took out a lot of gold and silver to exchange for these goods, thereby strengthening themselves!

After growing stronger, they continued to invade cities and land, and through plunder, they continued to obtain more gold and silver, and then bought more salt, tea, pig iron, gunpowder...

The Duke Cheng who was found out at the beginning was actually just the tip of the iceberg.

The reason why I had to kill the emperor this time was that if Emperor Tianqi continued to attack with such high pressure, countless people would lose their jobs.

Many soldiers in the border town have complaints, but those merchants have to flee after making huge profits. Not only can they not make money, but they have a family to go back.

The more Emperor Tianqi heard, the more excited he became. He said, "The only one you colluded with is Tian Shenglan?"

This man named Tian Shenglan has long been kneeling in the hall, which is extremely embarrassing.

Wu Xiang said desperately: "The criminal minister... the criminal minister was just a martial Jinshi. He entered the army and was silent. If it weren't for these people, they had been giving money to the criminal ministers and letting them take care of them, how could they become guerrilla generals in just five or six years... So... When someone seeks the criminal minister and asks the criminal ministers to "do things" for them, the criminal ministers... cannot refuse at all. If they refuse, they have a large amount of evidence of the criminal ministers... which is enough to make the criminal ministers die without a place to bury them."

"So... the criminals had to act according to their plan. In the army, there were many confidants, some of them, who had long been bribed by Tian Shenglan and others like the criminals! The criminals went to instigate Li Ruzhen. Li Ruzhen, as the marquis of Xinxian, said, was a waste. Although he was the general, he could only drink and have fun and was arrogant on weekdays. The criminals only found a magician who met him and said that he had the aura of the emperor. Then someone told him that today... today... the emperor was stupid, and now the soldiers were all looking for Li, why didn't the generals follow Zhao Kuangyin, and have a Chenqiao mutiny, and if he was killed, then... then... the Liaodong is a shadow."

"And Tian Shenglan... is just a person in charge of contact. As for the others, I don't know much... But Tian Shenglan must know... know a lot... Oh, yes, there is another thing. I heard Tian Shenglan say after drinking that the explosion of Wang Gong Factory was the one they did. The court suddenly wanted to investigate the storage of gunpowder in Wang Gong Factory. At that time, it seemed that Eunuch Wei wanted to investigate, but most of the gunpowder in Wang Gong Factory had been stolen by them, so they simply did not do it..."

As he said that, Wu Xiang kowtowed, tears fell on the hall at this time, and sobbed: "The criminal knows that he will die. I only ask Your Majesty to spare my son's life. He is still young... ignorant... please Your Majesty..."

Even though he was stabbed by Wu Sangui in the back, Wu Xiang seemed to have only such a wish at this time. Wu Sangui's back stabbing just now seemed to have hurt his heart.

Zhang Jing stood aside, but couldn't help thinking in her heart that Wu Sangui is not wrong at being young, but he is... ignorant, I think he is very sensible.

But when Wu Xiang mentioned Wang Gongchang, the others did not notice the changes in Emperor Tianqi.

But Wei Zhongxian, who knew the Emperor of Apocalypse thoroughly, had already stopped breathing at this time. His first reaction was to carefully observe Emperor of Apocalypse from the corner of his eyes.

However, Emperor Apocalypse's expression was hard to see.

At this time, he did not caress the case, but held the case with his hands, leaving marks on the case.

The final conclusion that Wang Gongchang came to was caused by the negligence of a craftsman. Wang Gongchang was a gunpowder workshop, where a large amount of gunpowder was piled up. When the incident happened, the entire capital was shaken, and a huge explosion caused heavy losses to the entire capital.

But after a thorough investigation, the craftsman who was negligent had already lost his corpse after the explosion. Under such circumstances, the entire case could only be left alone.

This explosion not only had a huge impact on the Apocalypse Dynasty, but also in later generations, there were many different opinions. People's big explosion of Apocalypse triggered countless speculations.

But the losses in the capital and the influence of later generations may not be anything to Emperor Tianqi. What really hurts him was the former Prince Xianhuai Zhu Cijing. Zhu Cijing died on the day of the Wang Gongchang explosion. Some people said that he was frightened and died, while others said that after the explosion, the palace beams shook and hit Zhu Cijing unbiasedly.

In other words... this explosion in order to cover up some people stealing gunpowder, Emperor Apocalypse lost his beloved son at that time.

When the old story was mentioned again, Emperor Tianqi could not hold back for a moment, his eyes suddenly turned red, and tears were already turning in his eyes.

Before everyone's attention was focused on Emperor Apocalypse, Emperor Apocalypse had wiped his tears, and then he took a deep breath.

Emperor Tianqi stood up, slowly walked down the Golden Palace and walked into the hall.

He tried his best to look calm, walked to Wu Xiang and said, "How many people participated in that explosion?"

He asked very calmly, so calm that everyone could not feel the emotional fluctuations in his heart.

Wu Xiang said tremblingly: "This is just one time Tian Shenglan said after drinking. What is the specific one, the criminals don't know."

"You don't know..." Emperor Aoki said, "What else do you know?"

Wu Xiang trembled and said, "No...no."

"It's really gone?"

"It's gone."

Emperor Tianqi took a deep breath and said, "Take it down. Since you can't ask, then kill it. As for his son... the son of the remnant of the traitor, do I still keep such a person and continue to be a thief? I will cut it to me!"

After hearing this, Wu Xiang felt heavy and was not expecting that he was just beheading, and his son was cut into pieces.

Wu Sangui also thought he had heard it wrong. He was already a terrified face, and he was even more frightened at this time and hurriedly said, "I am wronged, wronged... I have nothing to do with Wu Xiang, I am not his son..."

A group of guards had already swarmed in and took the father and son directly, but Wu Sangui was still saying, "I don't have such a father. I have broken up with him one after another. He is a traitor. Your Majesty, but I am loyal..."

Speaking of this, Wu Xiang was already heartbroken. When he was dragged by several guards, he suddenly shouted: "Sangui, now, why are you talking about so much? Putting the knife around your neck, what's the use of begging for mercy and shaking your tail like this?"

Wu Sangui spitted at Wu Xiang and cursed angrily: "If it weren't for you, how could you be today? Lingchi's one is not you, what's your name?"

Wu Xiang was already like an arrow piercing his heart at this time, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

The father and son were taken down and the hall became quiet again.

However, Emperor Tianqi had already walked coldly to Tian Shenglan.

Tian Shenglan just lowered her head and knelt down without saying a word.

Emperor Tianqi said: "When the Wang Gongchang exploded, how many people participated? Who are your accomplices and where are they?"

Tian Shenglan still lowered her head and said nothing.

Emperor Aoki said coldly: "Don't you speak?"

"The left and right are dead..." Tian Shenglan finally said: "Since the matter has been defeated, it is nothing more than death. It's a pity that I am not intimate in my actions and fell into Zhang Jingyi's hands. At this time, I will beat Ren and kill Ren and have no complaints. As for the others, there is nothing to say."

Tian Shenglan said, looking up at Emperor Tianqi, but seeing that Emperor Tianqi's eyes were covered with blood and his face was quite ferocious. He was suddenly shocked and quickly lowered his head in panic.

Emperor Tianqi gritted his teeth and said, "You are dead, I tell you, you are dead, and you don't want to escape alone. It's not just you... but your accomplices, your tribe members, and each of you, don't want to escape!"

"You are unwilling to say it, right? Very good. I will let you say it, Zhang Qing will let you say it, not only will I teach you that life is worse than death, but I also teach you that there is no place to die. What you know, you will definitely say it."

Emperor Aoki's words were filled with a huge hatred.

Tian Shenglan was worried. In fact, at this time, his heart was already in chaos.

Since he was taken, he has been reluctant to accept this fact. He always thought there would be a chance, and he thought that he would eventually... be able to get away with it.

But now looking at the hatred in front of him, he finally realized that he had no luck anymore.
