Hearing this, the man seemed stunned for a moment, and then he laughed like crazy.
However, for such a grown man, smiling and laughing, tears flowed out.
Originally, when Zhu Cihong saw that he not only refused to listen to his advice, but was so rude, he even laughed out loud and felt unhappy, so he was about to turn around and leave. However, when he saw that this man had tears streaming down his face, he couldn't help but feel sympathy again.
So, he opened his mouth and said again: "If you have anything, maybe you can tell me, maybe I can help you!"
A man doesn't shed tears easily because he hasn't reached the sad point yet!
For this man to be like this, he may be in a desperate situation.
What the Ming Dynasty lacks now is population. This person is seeking death. Whether it is moral or national policy, he is not allowed to die without saving.
Hearing Zhu Cixiang's words, the man stopped laughing wildly, wiped his tears, raised his head and looked at Zhu Cixiang carefully, then shook his head and said: "Thank you for saving your life, sir. I see that you are from a wealthy family, but it's my business, you
There’s nothing I can do about it, I...it’s useless if I say it, so I won’t bother you, Master!”
The implication is that it doesn't seem to be a matter of small money.
Come to think of it, this man is well dressed and has a small amount of money. What is there to dislike about him?
Hearing his words, Zhu Cixiang frowned and said, "Are you being wronged? Then you can go to the government, why are you seeking death?"
Fang Zhenghua, who was standing next to him, was a little impatient, but His Highness the Crown Prince was patient, so he had no choice but to accompany him. Otherwise, since this man likes to seek death so much, just send him to the west with one palm and fulfill his wish!
It’s so shameless!
When the man heard Zhu Cixiang's words, he showed a wry smile and said: "If it would be useful to go to the government, I...how could I seek death?"
When Zhu Cihong heard this, he immediately thought about it and immediately thought that corrupt officials were at work!
He couldn't tolerate this, so he immediately asked: "Why, you were framed by corrupt officials, so that you had no choice but to commit suicide?"
After hearing this, the man was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at Zhu Cihong again.
Because he heard that the noble young master in front of him didn't seem to be afraid of the government. He was a corrupt official, and he didn't know where he came from. He was from an official family, a famous family?
Thinking this in his mind, maybe because he had talked too much with Zhu Cihong, his ambition to die was a little lessened, so he stood up, straightened his appearance, and then saluted Zhu Cihong and said: "My matter is not a matter of corrupt officials."
Why! We have all gone to the Yamen, but we also know that there is nothing the Yamen can do!"
When Zhu Cihong heard this, he became even more curious. Even the government couldn't do anything about it, so what could happen?
By the way, there seems to be another keyword.
So, he immediately asked: "We? Are you not the only one? Also, is there anything that the Yamen can't do anything about?"
After hearing this, the man nodded and replied: "I am from Zizhou. There are many people like me in Zizhou who were deceived and bankrupted because of greed. I don't know how to live in the future? Therefore, I...
…I couldn’t think about it for a moment, so I thought about dying!”
"..." Upon hearing this, Zhu Cixi was speechless.
He thought it was the local government that was oppressing the people, but he didn't expect that it turned out to be someone who was deceived and bankrupted because of greed.
Soon, he thought of another important point, and immediately asked: "It's a liar, why can't the government do anything? If there are multiple people involved, the matter is more serious, why can't the government help you? What is going on, you
Talk about it carefully!"
Fang Zhenghua, who was standing next to him, looked at His Highness the Crown Prince and felt in his heart that perhaps this was the first "unjust matter" that His Highness the Crown Prince encountered after leaving the palace. As the heir of the Ming Emperor, he wanted to deal with it impartially, punish evil and promote good.
Bar?
Thinking of this, he coughed and reminded Zhu Cihong: "Sir, don't forget what I told you!"
Listening to the conversation just now, it is likely that the government will be involved. Although it is very rare for local officials to meet His Royal Highness, Fang Zhenghua still has the responsibility to remind him.
When Zhu Cihong heard this, he understood what Fang Zhenghua meant, but he ignored it. Of course he remembered his father's words and had a sense of proportion in his heart.
The man who hanged himself also heard it. The noble master's servant seemed to be reminding him not to meddle in his own business.
With this in mind, he said to Zhu Cixiang: "Forget it, I won't die for now. Thank you for saving your life, sir. However, my matter involves Prince Ding and my Ming Dynasty vassal country, and no one can do anything about it."
Originally, when Zhu Cixiang heard what he said before, he thought that he had saved someone, so that was fine. However, when he heard the second half of the sentence, he was stunned. This person wanted to die, and it seemed that many people were involved.
The fraud was actually related to his own brother, which he never expected!
As a result, Zhu Cixi's tone became stern and he immediately shouted: "Speak!"
He is the prince, truly inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. From now on, the entire country will belong to him. Once he becomes strict, he will have an intimidating momentum!
After hearing this, the man who hanged himself felt the momentum. He didn't know why, and felt a little scared. He quickly replied: "Yes, yes, I say, I say!"
Then, the man started talking.
It turns out that someone here in Zizhou has released news that an investment company will be established to invest in the issuance of stocks in Jingshi. In other words, it will be used specifically to purchase original stocks issued by the Jingshi Stock Exchange.
For more than a year, facts have proven that as long as you buy the original stock and trade it in the market, you will at least double your profit.
Therefore, many people here in Zizhou were tempted, including the man who hanged himself, so they raised money to the investment company. Those who were greedy tried their best to raise more money, thinking that they could make more money in the future.
money.
The man who hanged himself was the clan leader of Lijiazhuang below Zizhou. Not only did he take out all his family's money, but he even moved the clan's money. According to him, ordinary people are short of money, and he wanted to use this opportunity
, you can make some money for your clan members!
Unexpectedly, he met a liar and they only found out about it. He lost all his money. He felt that he could not explain it to his family and tribe when he went back, so he couldn't think about it and wanted to hang himself.
This matter, it seems, was really caused by greed.
After Zhu Cihong heard this, he couldn't help but said with a bit of hatred: "How naive you are, are the original shares of the stock so easy to buy? That will be auctioned, and strength will speak for itself."
At this time, a military officer in golden clothes took a folding chair from the horseback outside the door, entered the temple, opened it and invited His Highness to sit on it.
Originally, if I just stood for a while, I wouldn't need a chair, but looking at this, it was obvious that there was a conversation going on, so this chair was necessary.
"No!" The man heard Zhu Cixiang's words and saw his arrogance. He didn't want to be misunderstood and quickly explained, "They said it was related and we could get the original shares through internal means. We believed it and thought we could make a lot of money. No.
I thought... I didn't expect... Oh!"
"..." When Zhu Cixiang heard this, he was even more speechless. He also obtained the original shares through internal means? Even though he was a dignified Ming prince, he had no internal affairs at all. How could a mere person from Zizhou have any internal affairs?
If there were really people inside, including Dongchang, Xichang, Jinyiwei, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who would not arrest anyone?
Thinking of this, Zhu Cixiang shook his head and sighed: "You are really naive, the liar will do whatever he says!"
Hearing this, the man seemed unconvinced by the comment, and quickly explained: "No, this liar belongs to our Sun family in Zizhou, a family of officials. His father and his father were both officials in the court, and he himself was a member of the imperial family.
, we thought that such a family might actually have connections in the capital, so...that's why we believed it!"
Zizhou Sun family? Official family?
With these questions popping up in Zhu Cixiang's mind, he turned to look at Fang Zhenghua and said, "Who are the Sun family in Zizhou?"
Fang Zhenghua thought about it for a moment, and he really remembered it, so he told Zhu Cihong.
The Zizhou Sun family was actually very famous in later generations, and one of them was the famous Sun Zhixian.
For several generations, all of our ancestors were promoted to Jinshi and became officials. That is to say, the generation of Sun Zhixian's sons only promoted people in the Ming Dynasty.
If the original historical development was followed, after the Qing Dynasty entered the Pass, they still entered the court as officials.
Of course, if it were based on the original historical development, Sun Zhixian would have been infamy for thousands of years!
It was he who, in order to please the Manchus, suggested to Dorgon that he must implement shaving of hair and changing clothes. Otherwise, he would use a hat that Dorgon could not compete with to suppress him. Even if the Manchus entered the customs, in the end, it was the Manchus who had followed the Qing Dynasty.
Han, or is it a matter of Han conquering Manchu and Qing Dynasty?
It was also because of this that a bloody storm broke out in China. I don't know how many people lost their families because of shaving their hair to change clothes.
This Sun Zhixian was eventually caught by the rebel army when they captured Zizhou. They hated him so much for the idea he gave to the Qing Dynasty, so they punched holes in his body and inserted pig hair into his body, and he was eventually executed by Ling Chi.
At this time, when Fang Zhenghua introduced the background of the Sun family in Zizhou, the man who hung himself nodded repeatedly and quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, yes, that's right, it's his family. Think about it, young master, how can such a family cheat?"
With his family's connections in the capital, how can we not believe him when he says that he can buy the original stock?"
Zhu Cixiang frowned after hearing this.
From his point of view, he definitely still doesn't believe it. However, this place in Zizhou is Shandong. It is not close to the capital, but it is not far from the capital. These are not people in the officialdom and have little experience. Maybe they will really believe in the Sun family.
Speak words.
Thinking of this, he asked with some confusion: "Since you already know that the Sun family deceived you and reported it directly to the government, don't you dare to make the decision for you and collude with the Sun family?"
If this is really the case, the Zizhou magistrate should die!
At the same time, he also had a question in his mind. This man had previously said that he was related to his brother, King Ding, but after hearing this, it seemed that it didn't matter at all?
