Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety Six: The Truth Is Here(1/2)

When Zhang Pu saw Zhang Jing, he looked like he was determined to eat him.

Then he laughed: "It's useless to hold me, because everything is too late."

As he said that, he couldn't help laughing.

After hearing this, Liu Wenxiu, who was standing aside, couldn't help but be furious and slapped him directly in the face, and the laughter came to an abrupt end.

Liu Wenxiu cursed angrily: "Bold, how dare you talk to your mentor like this."

"Teacher?" Zhang Pu showed a sarcastic look on his face and said with a smile: "What kind of mentor is just a joke. What did he teach you?"

The students were furious. If Zhang Jingyi hadn't been here, I would have been afraid that Zhang Pu would have really beaten to death.

Zhang Jingyi glanced at Zhang Pu contemptuously, and then turned around and said, "Who is the person in charge here?"

At this time, a madam hurriedly walked forward and kowtowed, "Old body...Is old body..."

Zhang Jingyi said: "What's your name?"

The madam said: "The old man's name is Xu Fo..."

Zhang Jing said angrily: "Who wants to know your flower name?"

The madam looked very frightened and hurriedly said, "I'm called Xu Si Nu."

Zhang Jingyi said: "Can you know your crime when you have privately hiding the rioters?"

The madam howled and said, "I don't know he is a rioter... He is just a benefactor and gives a lot of money on weekdays."

Zhang Jingyi sneered: "I give a lot of money, so you dare to agree to anything?"

The madam cried and said, "If I knew he was a rebel, I would never dare to do this."

Zhang Jing said coldly: "Take her down."

Several students were about to step forward, and the madam kept wailing.

Zhang Jing didn't look at her at all, and then said, "All the prostitutes here will be dismissed. Search for the money from the officials of the various pleasure boats and distribute them all. From now on, the Qinhuai River... will not be able to make such a living."

Then, Zhang Jingyi turned around and said with a cold face: "Take Zhang Pu back to me and continue to follow the map. Now I don't just want Zhang Pu, but also his family and his family! This is not a simple rebel. Don't keep any of those involved in this person."

Zhang Pu stared at his eyes and cursed: "You hawk!"

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to him and took him away.

Soon... Confucius Temple became the base of Jinyiwei in Nanjing City. In the Minglun Hall of Confucius Temple, Zhang Jing could not sit upright, but on the side, torture had begun.

Zhang Pu's howling almost echoed over the Confucius Temple. After two incense sticks, he was sent to Zhang Jingyi like a gourd of blood.

Zhang Jing smiled and looked at Zhang Pu and said, "How?"

Zhang Pu spitted blood foam in his mouth and then said, "It's too late, everything is too late."

"What did you say late?"

Zhang Pu's face was grim, laughed, cried again, and finally said, "If you came to find me one day earlier, maybe... things still have room for improvement, but now... everything is too late."

Zhang Jing looked around, and the others were confused.

Zhang Jingyi looked at him very seriously: "It's too late for everything."

Zhang Pu said: "You went to Jiangnan and caused resentment from heaven and earth. Do you really think that no one resisted?"

Zhang Jingyi asked: "Who is the rebel?"

"Celestial soldiers!" Zhang Pu said.

Zhang Jing frowned: "What kind of heavenly soldier?"

Zhang Pu said: "I'm afraid that it's coming at this time."

Zhang Jingyi stopped talking nonsense and just sneered: "Come on, I'll torture me."

This person has already started to talk.

Since that's the case, he has to force his words out.

Zhang Pu suddenly became panicked. When he heard the torture, he seemed to have his psychological defenses began to collapse, and then he said, "It's the Smelling Sect!"

Zhang Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's dots of mosquito coil?"

Zhang Pu: “…”

"Boll me to death."

"Smelling the Incense Sect! It's a Taoist sect!" Zhang Pu said anxiously: "This time... this time... the reason why... the King Yi is invited to Beijing is because... because... the King Yi has a close relationship with me."

"Is it your idea?"

"It's not my idea, but King Yi is planning behind the scenes."

Zhang Jingyi's face became more and more serious, and he continued to ask: "A mere king of Yi, do you have such skills?"

"He has countless silver."

"I can't count the silver? Where did these silver come from?"

"Sea boats go out to sea..."

Zhang Jing frowned and stared at him tightly and said, "What do you mean... he is involved in the sea trade? How can others control the sea trade in Jiangxi?"

"The vassal state of King Yi was in Jianchang Prefecture."

"You keep talking."

"The Jianchang Mansion has guarded the waterways in the Jiangxi Provincial Administration and the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian area... The Jiangnan water network is dense. If anyone controls the waterway... he can transport a large amount of goods to various parts of Jiangnan at any time. Jiangxi's tea, porcelain, silk, and medicinal materials are all very famous. Most of these goods need to be passed through Jianchang Mansion. If the sea merchants everywhere do not benefit from His Royal Highness's approval, it will be difficult to stockpile goods to go to sea."

"Will the Jiangxi Provincial Administrator tolerate him so much?"

"The gentry all over Jiangxi are eager for this, because the Yiwang Mansion has come forward and helped them open up the joints, and can find ways to put pressure and get the ship guide. In this way, the gentry can continuously provide goods. There are upstream porcelain merchants, drug dealers, silk dealers, and gentry who are involved in supplying porcelain clay, mulberry and medicine! In addition, there are a large number of maritime merchants. Is this a ruling magistrate dared to provoke? It cuts off the wealth of the people from all over the country...that is, there is no place to die without a burial."

Zhang Jingyi can understand this.

How much profit will be for a maritime trade?

This Yiwang is equivalent to a hub, and everyone uses his waterway to make money. Once he breaks the waterway, there will be no goods for the sea merchants going to sea, and the supply chains upstream and downstream are directly interrupted, and everyone will drink the northwest wind.

Zhang Jing narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "In this way, King Yi has earned a lot of money, how much does it have?"

"I don't know this!"

"What about you, what is your relationship with King Yi?"

"He once invited me to be the guest of the temple and admired me very much."

Zhang Jingyi: “…”

"Later, I spent a lot of money and invited many famous scholars to build momentum for me, and then I found the Fushe."

"So, is Jianfushe his idea?"

"yes."

"What is his purpose in establishing the Restoration Society?"

"The eunuch party is in chaos..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Pu paused and showed a fear.

Zhang Jingyi looked very understanding and said, "It doesn't matter, just scold me casually, I'm not a eunuch."

Zhang Pu said: "The eunuch party is in chaos and sent eunuchs everywhere in Jiangnan to collect commercial taxes and...the mining tax is very harmful to the economy and people's livelihood."

Zhang Jing showed sarcastic glance and sneered: "One is you who are going to be taxed, and the other is you are afraid that your activities will be discovered, right?"

Zhang Pu said: "There is also a possibility."

Zhang Jingyi said, "What about after that?"

"The resumption society was built with great momentum and created public opinion. If there were officials who did not flow with us, we would curse every day until he became infamous. If we cooperated with us, we would write articles everywhere, say his good words, and try our best to gain a high position for him."

Zhang Jingyi said, "That's why you spent a lot of money to bribe the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and buy officials in disguise? And they are all local officials, right?"

Zhang Pu nodded helplessly: "Yes, students have always been responsible for these matters, and the money was produced by King Yi."

"What after?"

"Then your Majesty will investigate this matter thoroughly and send Zhou Yingqiu, the Minister of Personnel. His Highness, King Yi, was afraid that his affairs would be discovered, so he ordered people to assassinate Zhou Yingqiu. Only by killing Zhou Yingqiu, these people who were with King Yi, had no way out. The entire Jiangnan would be cut off from the court. After all, this is a huge matter, and the court will be furious. If you really want to pursue it, no one will escape. Our original plan was to hear that the Donglin Army came to Jiangnan, so he simply made Jiangnan stand on his own and asked King Yi to come down to Nanjing City to take charge of the overall situation."

"You keep talking."

"But... I never expected that Donglin Army would come to Jiangnan directly."

Zhang Jingyi thoughtfully and then said, "Then... King Yi has fallen into an embarrassing situation. He is afraid that he has left his vassal state and came to Nanjing at this time. As a result, he cannot move forward and retreat. If he comes to Nanjing City, he will die without a burial place. If he doesn't come, leaving the vassal state without a burial. This is a great sin."

Zhang Pu said helplessly: "That's right."

Zhang Jing thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, he is just a fish to be slaughtered on the chopping board. Why are you exaggerating just now?"

Zhang Pu looked at Zhang Jingyi with a little hesitation on his face and said, "Because...because..."

At this point, he seemed to have used a lot of effort to make up his mind and gritted his teeth and said, "I thought... this time it was really over, but... someone sent me a letter."

Zhang Jing raised her eyebrows and said, "Who is it?"
To be continued...
