After leaving the meeting hall, Zhu Yuanzhang played with Zhu Xiongying in the courtyard.
He was in a good mood.
Today, not only did he beat up Lu Ben, but he also threw the dirty work to Lan Shenxing.
Yes, he handed the matter of punishing merchants to Lan Shenxing.
It couldn't be helped. Lan Shenxing was a Jinyiwei.
Aren't the Jinyiwei supposed to deal with dirty and chaotic matters?
Zhu Yuanzhang's idea was very simple. He wanted to fill the national treasury and train Lan Shenxing to see his ability to do things.
After all, he only knew how to talk on paper…he was not qualified to be the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
Lan Shenxing left the Eastern Palace and went to the Brocade Guard to check the intelligence and find the target.
"My lord."
The Brocade Guard brought over a large pile of intelligence and placed it on the table.
Lan Shenxing picked it up and read it for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. He pointed at the name of a merchant and said,"Get me all the detailed information on him.”
"Yes."
The Embroidered Uniform Guards left and returned with two memorials in his hands.
Lan Shenxing opened it and read it.
The names in the Jinyiwei intelligence database were all guilty.
This memorial recorded an official with the surname Shen. His background was not small. He was the son of the Shen family, the richest family in Jiangnan.
And this person was clearly a descendant of a giant merchant, but now he had become an official of the lower fourth rank in Great Ming, and the area where he took up his post was in the Jiangnan area.
He clearly remembered that he bribed Hu Weiyong to become an official.
Moreover, his name was not on the Shen family's genealogy.
If the Embroidered Uniform Guards had not investigated thoroughly, he might have really been able to muddle through.
Lan Shenxing continued to read another memorial. This memorial recorded information about the Shen family.
That's right, it was the Shen family of the richest man in the Ming Dynasty, Shen Wansan.
However…
Unlike in the TV series, Shen Wansan and Zhu Yuanzhang did not have much interaction.
Shen Wansan had already died when Old Zhu was still in Jianguo.
Even Shen Wansan's son was already in his sixties, and his grandson was already in his thirties.
Shen Wansan did not have any dealings with Old Zhu, but that did not mean that the Shen family was clean.
Of course, if one looked closely, no businessman in the world had a clean foundation.
The reason why Lan Shenxing wanted to make a move on the Shen family was because…the Shen family was too rich.
One of the messages from the Shen family caught Lan Shenxing's attention.
The Shen family had once invested in helping Zhang Shicheng.
When he saw this, Lan Shenxing knew that the crime of seizing the house was certain.
However, he also knew that although this matter was true, the Shen family at that time…was also forced to do so.
Put yourself in his shoes.
If Lan Shenxing was a merchant from Jiangnan and Zhang Shicheng was short of money, would you give it to him or not?
After all, it was Zhang Shicheng who had occupied Jiangnan at that time!
If you give it to me, your Shen family will be safe.
If you don't give it to him, won't Zhang Shicheng snatch it himself?
By the time the other party went to snatch it, it would be too late.
Lan Shenxing could understand the difficulties and helplessness of the Shen family, but this did not change his mind about the Shen family.
There were many helpless people in this world. Wasn't Lan Shenxing helpless?
It was all for survival.
If one side had to be sacrificed, Lan Shenxing would choose to sacrifice the other side without hesitation.
"Pass down my order. Transfer a hundred Embroidered Uniform Guards to follow me…to Jiangnan!”
Lan Shenxing stood up.
Although there was also evidence against Hu Weiyong, this person was not someone he could touch.
If he wanted to touch Hu Weiyong, he had to get Old Zhu's approval personally.
"Yes."
The Embroidered Uniform Guards bowed and went to make preparations.
Very quickly.
A hundred Embroidered Uniform Guards were ready.
On the same day.
A hundred military horses left the city and headed in the direction of Jiangnan.
Before he left, Lan Shenxing did not forget to remind Xu Miaoyun to take good care of his potatoes.
Their destination was more than 200 kilometers away from Ying Tian.
Two days later.
At midnight, the night was as dark as ink.
Lan Shenxing led a hundred Embroidered Uniform Guards to arrive. The first person they had to control was the official surnamed Shen.
With a gesture from Lan Shenxing, an Embroidered Uniform Guard climbed over the wall and opened the door silently.
Swoosh swoosh sw
In just a few breaths of time, the thirty plus people surnamed Chen were all controlled.
The official surnamed Shen was awakened from his sleep. When he opened his eyes, there were at least a dozen Jinyiwei standing in front of the collapsed building.
The icy cold blade was already pressed against his neck.
The two young girls on the bed were shocked. Their faces were pale, and they covered their bodies with blankets, trembling.
At this moment, Lan Shenxing strode into the room.
When the official surnamed Shen saw Lan Shenxing's flying fish robe, his expression turned even uglier.
"Shen Daren is not only lucky with women, but also has a lot of energy.”
Lan Shenxing slowly walked to the front of the bed and said with a smile,""That's right, from this exuberant energy, Lord Shen should be able to hold on until dawn.”
After saying that, Lan Shenxing waved his hand and said,"Why aren't you asking Lord Shen to move?" The rest of the people will be controlled on the spot and not allowed to take a step out. Violators…will be beheaded!”
The two Brocade Guards dragged the naked man away and dragged him to the storeroom.
Lan Shenxing threw him a coat.
An Embroidered Uniform Guard behind him brought a wooden chair over. Lan Shenxing sat down and said,""Do you know who we are?"
"Brocade…Brocade Guard."
Although the Jinyiwei had only been established for a few months, their fierce reputation had already spread throughout the entire Ming Dynasty.
Although he had never seen the Brocade Guard with his own eyes, when he saw Lan Shenxing's attire, especially the embroidered spring saber, he knew that the Brocade Guard had come.
"Do you know why I'm looking for you?"
Lan Shenxing continued to ask.
"Official matters?"
The official surnamed Shen's voice trembled.
"No, no, no."
Lan Shenxing shook his head and said," There's no need for me to do such a small thing myself. I'm not going to talk nonsense with you. It's impossible for you to live, but if you cooperate, I can let you die a quick death!"”
Hearing this, the official surnamed Shen collapsed to the ground.
Lan Shenxing squinted his eyes and smiled." I'm not greedy. I just want to ask you a question. How much wealth does the Shen family have?"”
"I…don't know."
the official surnamed Shen said.
"Haha…"
Lan Shenxing laughed. He looked at the Embroidered Uniform Guards beside him and said,"It seems that Lord Shen wants to try our specialty.”
"Haha…"
The Embroidered Uniform Guards looked at each other and smiled, but their eyes flickered with a chilling light.
At this moment.
Two Embroidered Uniform Guards carried a wooden box and walked in. After opening it, they saw various torture instruments inside.
