This storm that almost shook the country did not spread because... it is over!
Xu Lang, the boss of Longsheng Bank, was captured in Tongzhou, and a large amount of gold and silver was also found.
This guy was extremely cunning. He sent people to various banks and pawnshops to collect money. At the same time, he also sent people to escort two carts of money and prepare to leave the port from Tianjin, creating the illusion of escaping by sea.
And his real purpose is to go south from Tongzhou along the Grand Canal and out to sea from Ningbo.
Since the railway between Beijing and Beijing has been built, the Grand Canal is no longer as busy as it used to be, and is usually used to transport goods.
By the time the imperial soldiers and horses caught up with Tianjin Guard, they had long since disappeared.
However, his wishful thinking did not succeed. Jin Yiwei had already set up a dragnet, and the reason why he dared to let him escape was because he wanted to catch the big fish behind him.
For Zhu Qizhen, Longsheng Bank is not worth mentioning.
In this situation, the real target is the lingering White Lotus Sect.
"Your Majesty, we've been caught!"
Yuan Bin entered the palace in a hurry and brought good news.
Zhu Qizhen raised his head and asked: "Is it her?"
Yuan Bin nodded and said: "The person has been taken to the imperial prison. Please let the emperor know how to deal with him next."
Zhu Qizhen thought for a while and said, "I'll go see her."
"Your Majesty!"
Yuan Bin hurriedly dissuaded him: "This person is a rebel with many tricks and strong martial arts. I am worried..."
"What is there to be afraid of when people are imprisoned in prison?"
Zhu Qizhen disagreed. Now he wanted to ask that woman face to face why she had to go against him?
During the Battle of Nanjing, the White Lotus Sect's entire army was wiped out, but Song Guxi took advantage of the chaos to escape. If he had gone overseas at that time, or remained anonymous, he might have survived.
However, this person came to the capital and made trouble under his nose.
First there was the Caijiagou incident, and now there's the Longsheng Bank. It's all her fault.
Isn’t it better to live a good life and have to die by yourself!
When I arrived at the imperial prison, I saw that the house where Song Guxi was imprisoned was still a single room. Although it was a bit crude, it was still clean.
Yuan Bin quietly kept a cautious eye on this matter.
After all, this woman once had some unclear relationship with the emperor. Who knows what happened between them!
What if I slept together and got pregnant with a dragon or something, it would be hard to tell...
When Zhu Qizhen came to the door of the cell, Yuan Bin called someone and brought a chair over.
The two of them just looked at each other through the door of the old house.
Over the past year or so, Song Guxi has changed little, except that her face is expressionless, as if she doesn't recognize the man in front of her.
Zhu Qizhen raised his head and looked at Yuan Bin: "What are you all doing here?"
Yuan Bin quickly explained: "Back to the emperor, I am worried..."
"Go wait outside!"
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand impatiently, and Yuan Bin had to call people out.
"Why don't you leave yet?"
"I..."
Yuan Bin is helpless, I will stay to protect you!
This rebel is very skilled in martial arts. If something happens to him, even if I have a hundred heads, I won’t be able to kill him!
"Go ahead, it's okay!"
"But..."
"No matter how good her martial arts skills are, can she break through this iron gate?"
Yuan Bin said angrily: "That won't happen..."
Zhu Qizhen chuckled and said: "In that case, what is there to be afraid of?"
Yuan Bin had no choice but to look at Song Guxi in the cell and had to retreat.
Now, there are only two people left in the cell.
Zhu Qizhen was the first to say: "It's already come to this, and you're still pretending to be a saint?"
Song Guxi sighed softly and said resentfully: "A weak woman from the slave family can't defeat the emperor after all. Now she has become a prisoner and is going to be killed or chopped into pieces. Please give her a happy acquaintance with the slave family!" p>

Zhu Qizhen smiled and said: "Meet each other? I only recognize the top card of the brothel, but not the White Lotus Saint... Oh, no, she should be the leader now, right?"
"What a saint, what a leader, just a name. This little girl is a miserable person. In the end, she still cannot escape death."
As she spoke, Song Guxi slowly lowered her head. If she didn't know better, she would have thought she was really a weak woman.
"You say it as if you have suffered a great injustice?"
Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but said: "When you led the troops to attack Nanjing with the people, I did not kill you, which is already the end of my kindness and righteousness. Why do you want to keep the hidden danger and go against me everywhere?"
"How can a little girl dare to go against the emperor?"
Zhu Qizhen asked again: "You were the one who made the plans behind Caijiagou and Longsheng Bank, am I right?"
Song Guxi slowly raised her head and said, "Yes, it was the little girl's idea. What does the emperor think?"
The more Zhu Qizhen talked, the more excited he became: "Wouldn't it be better for you to use this intelligence on the right path? I have launched a new policy, and there are opportunities everywhere. With your intelligence, it is almost effortless to make money, so why do you have to
Are you poaching me? Or do you think I am a fool and can't see your little tricks?"
Song Guxi smiled and said softly: "The emperor is not a fool. He is the smartest person in the world. The slave family believes that it is not inferior to anyone. However, in front of the emperor, any conspiracy and tricks are just self-humiliation.
."
Seeing her innocent face and charming smile, Zhu Qizhen suddenly felt something in his heart.
When he reacted, he immediately reminded himself, no, no, this person is the traitor Bai Lian, and he must not sympathize with her, let alone have a good impression of her!
Appearance is not justice. I have three palaces and six courtyards, but I still need a good-looking woman?
"Don't put a high hat on me. We are all smart people. If you have any questions, don't beat around the bush. Answer my question first. Why are you always against me?"
This problem has troubled him for a long time. Whether it is the White Lotus Sect, the Wara people, or the Japanese pirates, to put it bluntly, they all have the same purpose.
Make money!
Wala plundered border towns, Japanese pirates harassed the coast, and the White Lotus Sect pretended to be gods and ghosts, all for money.
If you want to make money, it's not easy to do it anywhere in the country. Do you have to go to the capital and do things under my nose?
Don't you know the risks of doing this?
Song Guxi sighed resentfully and said with a wry smile: "The little girl is a hard-working person. She has no ambitions in this life. She only thinks that one day she can repay the kindness she received from her ancestors."
Zhu Qizhen asked again: "Who are your ancestors?"
Song Guxi said slowly: "The first civil servant in the founding of the country is Song Lian from eastern Zhejiang."
When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he suddenly took a breath of cold air.
She is actually a descendant of Song Lian!
This man was an old minister of the former Yuan Dynasty. He later surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang and made great contributions to the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Song Lian gave lectures to Prince Zhu Biao and majored in Yuan history. Later, his eldest grandson Song Shen was exiled to Maozhou because he was implicated in Hu Weiyong's death. He died of illness in Kuizhou on the way. At that time, he retired and returned to his hometown, but
