Chapter 1315 scratching his head
Royal Palace Ganqing Palace
Zhu Youxiao, who had just gotten up, finished breakfast under the help of Queen Zhang Yan and was about to go to the imperial study room to review the memorials, he received the confession of Yang Laishun and his wife sent by the prefect of Shuntian.
Zhu Youxiao put down his confession, sat back on the chair, took out a cigarette from his pocket and took a deep breath, and then asked, "Sandezi, has this confession been sent to Yang Aiqing?"
Sandezi quickly bowed and said, "If you say it to Your Majesty, it's not yet. Duke Xin has already told the prefect of Shuntian. He will send it to you as soon as possible after the confession comes out."
Zhu Youxiao shook his head and laughed: "You send the confession to Yang Aiqing quickly. I guess he will be very angry. If you tell him another word, no matter how wise a hero is, his descendants will inevitably be unfilial, let alone one or two borers, so that he should not take things to heart."
"Here!"
After Sandezi went down, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing, "Yang Aiqing, Yang Aiqing, you always look confident in your daily life, and it turns out that someone will take advantage of you."
Zhang Yan asked curiously: "Your Majesty, what happened?"
"Nothing big deal." Zhu Youxiao held back his smile and said, "A trusted housekeeper in Yang Aiqing's mansion actually hid the huge sum of money from the Royal Ming Dynasty. Not only did he buy a large amount of land and shops in Jinling, but he also bought a mansion in the capital.
Although the scale is not as large as that of Duke Xinguo Mansion, it is still more luxurious than that of the level of luxury. It makes Yang Aiqing very angry. Yesterday, he personally took the servant to arrest the housekeeper and handed it over to Shuntian Mansion for strict investigation. The confession of the guy just came from Sandezi. What Sandezi sent him just was the confession. Good guy, this housekeeper has been greedy for less than 500,000 taels of silver in recent years. It is simply shocking. How could Yang Aiqing not be angry?"
Zhang Yan frowned and said angrily: "Your Majesty, Yang Feng is your minister and a pillar of the Ming Dynasty. Besides, the royal trading company of the Ming Dynasty also has our members, and the butler also has his own money. How can you say such gloating words?"
"No." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and couldn't help laughing: "Actually, money is a trivial matter. I just thought that Yang Feng, who has always been completely calculating, could not help laughing when it was dark under the light. This time if he put on that look again, I would shake out the matter and see what he has to say."
"His Majesty……"
Seeing Zhu Youxiao's overjoyed appearance, Zhang Yan could only shake her head helplessly, and her husband was becoming more and more like a child.
Otherwise, the court is just a big sieve, and anything that two people know will soon be known to everyone, let alone such a thing that can make Yang Feng lose his life. With the intentional or unintentional indulgence of some officials, rumors soon emerged in the capital. A big rat appeared in the Duke of Xinguo's mansion, and in a few years, he actually stole million taels of silver.
The news spread so much that it soon reached the ears of Duke Xinguo's Mansion.
After Da Yuer received the news, she was the first to run to Yang Feng and asked him: "My husband, it's so rumored outside that you don't come forward to take care of it?"
"Share...why do you ask me to do it?" Yang Feng, who was lying on the chair, said vaguely without raising his eyelids. Milia and Kanaya and her daughter beat him their legs, and the other was feeding the peeled oranges into his mouth.
"Now it's spread all over the capital, saying that you are not aware of the employment of people, so that the royal trading company of the Ming Dynasty was greedy for millions of taels of silver. This time, your Majesty will be furious and you will be in trouble. What's even more infuriating is that the Confucian newspaper is also adding fuel to the fire and putting in trouble. The Confucian newspaper published today published this news. No, I want to go to the newspaper and make people refute them."
“Hey…wait…”
Yang Feng stopped Da Yu'er, "Why are you panicking? Isn't it true that there is no silver here? The guys from the Rubao are waiting for you there? Isn't it true that you are in the newspaper's rebuttal? "
Da Yuer said angrily: "What should we do? We can't do nothing, right?"
"Well, this matter is indeed a bit tricky." Yang Feng smiled bitterly. He originally thought it was just a family matter, but he never expected that it would cause a lot of controversy under the publicity of someone who was interested. The subsequent development was beyond his expectations. There was even a censor who even submitted a memorial requesting the seal of the Royal Trading Company of the Ming Dynasty to see if there was any violation of the law and discipline.
In this matter, we have to mention Confucian newspapers.
After so many years of struggle, Yang Feng's Journey to Truth occupied half of the public opinion in the capital, and the circulation of the Confucian newspaper was even less than a thousand copies at the lowest, but it was as strong as an indestructible little strongman and survived.
Yang Feng had no good idea about this, and as time went by, Confucian scholars learned their lessons. Originally, Qu and Gao Zi also began to take the approach of being close to the people, no longer insisted on using classical Chinese, but half of vernacular and classical Chinese.
Not only that, he also copied the model of Jujube and began to publish advertisements, jokes and other things. Don’t say that the circulation of Jujubebe has increased a lot after doing this. Although it is not as good as Jujubebebebe, the situation has improved a lot, at least it will not lose money anymore, which also made the people behind him very happy.
Da Yu'er even made up her mind: "My husband, after so many years, the Confucian newspaper has always been against us. I think it's better to send someone to burn this newspaper, right?"
"Nothing."
Yang Feng glared at his eyes, "You burn the Confucian newspaper today, and tomorrow they will send someone to burn our Truth Newspaper? Can you still send heavy troops to guard it every day?"
After being scolded by Yang Feng, Da Yuer sat aside in anger and said nothing.
Yang Feng looked at her and said that this woman was a little angry these days. Yang Feng probably saw that Hai Lanzhu was pregnant, but his stomach was not moving for a long time and felt a little angry.
Just as Yang Feng was thinking about how to teach those people a lesson, a maid came to report it, and Sandezi's father-in-law was asking for a meeting outside.
"Let him come in." Yang Feng ordered without hesitation.
Soon, Sandezi walked in and smiled and said, "Dude, Your Majesty has asked our family to send you an confession. He also told you not to worry, Your Majesty trusts you, and he also said that you can burn it after reading this confession."
Yang Feng took the confession and looked at it, nodded, "I understand, you go back first."
"Okay, let's go first."
After Sandezi left, Yang Feng handed the confession to Da Yuer and sighed: "Look, Yang Laishun confessed himself. He has owed at least 500,000 yuan in the past two years. Now everyone is watching us and see how we will deal with this matter."
Da Yu'er said without thinking: "This is a question, of course, I just killed it."
"It would be fine if this is the case. You don't know. Their son Yang Daniu is now the commander of the Jiangning Army's Cavalry Battalion and is appointed as the guerrilla general. If I kill his parents, what would he think?"
