The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1546

[1546.Chapter 1468 Return after all the money is gone]

. Lesson, this is a lesson of blood and tears.

Emperor Hongzhi felt very sad about it. After all, once the money could not be recovered, the consequences would be too serious.

Who could have imagined that the risks behind this would be so great.

It wasn’t just a matter of losing money, it almost caused turmoil in people’s livelihood.

Emperor Hongzhi looked solemn and ordered people to escort Chen Zheng up.

Under the attention of hundreds of officials, Chen Zheng entered the palace.

He was in ragged clothes and unkempt, and although he looked like a man with lustful eyes, upon closer inspection, he found that this man did not seem to have anything extraordinary about him. However, such an ordinary person made all the ministers and ministers of the court look like him. Thousands of people are playing around in circles.

Emperor Hongzhi’s heart sank. He hoped that Chen Zheng would have a majestic and wise appearance. How could someone who could deceive me be such a mediocre person?

But unfortunately, this is the case.

Chen Zheng was kowtowing as if pounding garlic, begging for mercy.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Chen Zheng intently and said coldly: “The sky net is vast and sparse, how can a traitor still exist today?”

Chen Zheng said with a miserable look: “Back then… back then… the sinners knew there was something wrong. If It is not impossible to escape immediately.”

Chen Zheng’s words were somewhat surprising, and Emperor Hongzhi was surprised.

I saw Chen Zhenglao burst into tears: “The sinner deceives the world with greed, but in the end he himself falls into a trap because of greed. Although the sinner feels something is wrong, he has to continue to stay for the huge profits. This… This is where the sinners will die today.”

All the officials were silent when they heard this.

This is so heartbreaking…

Isn’t it because of greed that everyone invested in Ruyi Bank?

Chen Zheng was clearly aware of the danger, but he still had hope and tried his best to cash out the money. Isn’t this a grievance that can’t be filled?

Emperor Hongzhi’s heart skipped a beat.

He looked back at the past, and now he suddenly woke up. Isn’t it the same for me?

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: “In terms of crime, I and you are not innocent. People are guilty of greed. Even if they know that there are many unreasonable things in it, they still work hard. This is not only the teaching this time, it should also lead to As a warning, I will be careful in the future.” After

being tricked and losing so much money, Emperor Hongzhi originally wanted to cut Chen Zheng into pieces, but now he suddenly lost his mind.

With a calm expression and just a wave of his hand, Emperor Hongzhi ordered Chen Zheng to be taken into custody, and ordered the three divisions to interrogate him and give him the correct punishment.

After meeting Chen Zheng, Emperor Hongzhi’s mood calmed down a lot, and then his eyes fell on Wang Bushi. The admiration in his eyes became deeper and deeper, and he said: “Wang Qing’s family earned tens of thousands of dollars, but they didn’t do it because of this.” The vast wealth has blinded the mind, and this time he has made great achievements. How do you think he should be rewarded?”

All the officials could not help but secretly look at Wang Bushi.

Wang Bushi’s face was terrifyingly calm, seemingly unmoved.

This person is really enviable.

Not only was he extremely wealthy, but he also made great achievements just because he followed Fang Jifan to investigate a case. It can be said that he gained both fame and fortune.

Wang Bushi shook his head and said: “Your Majesty, I have some merits. If your Majesty gives you a generous gift, I dare not accept it.”

He paused. Everyone originally thought that Wang Bushi was just a humble word, but they heard that Wang Bushi Said: “I was just a Hanlin scholar with a passion for business. How could I know how to manage a country and prosper a family? It was only after I read Mr. Liu’s The Wealth of Nations and other masterpieces that I started to understand. Although Mr. Liu is not my mentor, he is an investment manager like me. But I learned all the knowledge from him.”

Wang Bushi then sighed and said with some emotion: “But just reading is not enough. It must be noted that everything in The Wealth of Nations is based on a good order. In the current business environment, if you only have what you have learned in books but do not have prosperity in industry and commerce, you will be a clever woman, and you will have no money to make a living. Therefore, you are just relying on the New Deal, and you will get a little wealth by luck. It is worth mentioning that drinking water and remembering its origins is fundamentally based on the new policy initiated by Ouyang Butang under the Fang family and the magnificent masterpiece of Mr. Liu Wenshan. The Duke of Qi contributed the most to the investigation and handling of the imperial case. The only thing worthy of praise for the minister is just a little. I did my best to spend some money. If it is just because of this, your majesty will give you a generous gift. I… deserve it.”

Everyone automatically ignored the praise of Ouyang Zhi and Liu Wenshan.

But the last sentence is just a little effort to bring out some money…that’s all, but listening to it makes people feel panicked.

Is there anything more heartbreaking than this?

Five million taels of silver, is it some money?

I still have to lose two million taels to return the stolen goods. Is this… such a meager amount?

Is this what people say?

Emperor Hongzhi was silent, with a faint look in his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, Fang Jifan said: “Your Majesty, I think it is reasonable to reward everyone. It is said that a thousand pieces of gold buys bones. If Wang Bushi gave out five million taels of silver to help investigate the imperial case and did not reward him, who else would be rewarded from now on?” If you dare to serve the imperial court, please investigate.”

Emperor Hongzhi’s eyes suddenly brightened, he felt confident, nodded and said: “The Ministry of Rites will decide on the reward.”

Emperor Hongzhi said and looked at Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites.

Zhang Sheng immediately kowtowed and said: “I obey the order.”

Emperor Hongzhi then said: “As for the merits of Duke Qi, we need to discuss it and report it to me tomorrow.”

“I obey the order.”

Emperor Hongzhi explained it and looked at it. Fang Jifan glanced at him and said, “It is up to the Fang Qing family and the Wang Qing family to get rid of the stolen goods. We must do it impartially.”

………

all the ministers resigned.

Fang Jifan followed the flow of people out of the hall, and his disciples Ouyang Zhi and Wang Bushi followed behind him, following suit.

Ouyang Zhi lowered his head without saying a word. Suddenly, he raised his head and realized that he seemed to have been praised again.

Fang Jifan glanced at his dull disciple and couldn’t help feeling sorry for him. He patted him on the shoulder and said, “How are the officials lately?”

Ouyang Zhi thought for a while and said, “Not bad.”

In the eyes of outsiders, Ouyang Zhi was a No matter how much you praise him, he always looks expressionless, so that everyone in the official department understands that Ouyang Budang doesn’t like to flatter others.

But from Fang Jifan’s point of view, he, the chief disciple, just reacted a little slowly.

Slower reaction is better, slowness has its advantages.

Since he said it was acceptable, Fang Jifan had nothing to say.

After walking for a long time, Fang Jifan couldn’t help but stop again: “Have you had any difficulties recently?”

Ouyang Zhi thought for a while and shook his head: “No.”

“Oh.” Fang Jifan nodded and continued walking.

After walking dozens of steps, Fang Jifan finally couldn’t help it anymore and stopped again: “Tell the truth, who bullied you?”

Ouyang Zhi was silent for a moment: “Teacher, no one bullies students.”

Fang Jifan couldn’t help but bared his teeth. “In that case, after you, the Minister of Civil Affairs, retired from the court, why did you come to Meridian Gate with me instead of going to Chongwen Gate?

” , is the Meridian Gate, and generally if the ministers on duty are visiting, because Chongwen Gate is closest to various ministries and government offices, therefore, all entrances and exits are through Chongwen Gate.

Ouyang Zhi kept following Fang Jifan, and Fang Jifan thought that he had something to say, whether he had been bullied or wronged. He thought Ouyang Zhi was a shy person, so it was difficult to say it, but Fang Jifan gave him many opportunities, so he thought Let him speak out.

Who knows, this dog-like thing has nothing wrong with it, so why should it follow it?

Is it a waste of his caring heart as a teacher?

Ouyang Zhi then looked up, couldn’t help but slap his forehead, and said with a surprised look: “Oh, teacher, the student will die. The student just follows the teacher and forgets to go to Chongwenmen. “

Goodbye, student.”

Ouyang Zhi seemed to be afraid of being scolded by Fang Jifan, with a look of shame on his face.

Fang Jifan, who spoke like a dog, had no words to say when facing such a disciple, so he put on a smile and said, “Go ahead.”

Speaking of which, what he felt most distressed about was Ouyang Zhi. Ouyang Zhi was usually taciturn, But whatever he is asked to do, he always executes it to the letter. Humans are social animals, and everyone will be affected by the people around them. As long as they are human, they will have their own little thoughts. Only Ouyang Zhi, the heart He has no distracting thoughts and will never be affected by the people around him. He is such a talent.

………

The matter of returning the stolen goods went very quickly.

The money was escorted over in full.

Then he ordered all the victims to register the documents they had originally invested in Ruyi Bank.

Here at Ruyi Bank, the account books have also been inspected, and the accounts were compared one by one. They were all drawn from the students of the School of Accountancy.

Immediately afterwards, the stolen money began to be distributed, starting with the smallest amount.

When the people learned that they could return the stolen goods, they suddenly became quiet. Xishan Bank also began to handle the return of stolen goods everywhere, and the stolen goods were returned very quickly.

Not surprisingly, Wang Bushi became rich again.

There are not many investment channels for ordinary people.

Ruyi Bank has attracted a large amount of funds.

Now that all these funds have been returned, people have spare money in their hands again. When you think about it… that is, the stock market, although it has gone up and down, after all… is still credible.

After the case of Ruyi Bank caused the stock price to fall, it started to rise the day after the news of the withdrawal of stolen property came out.

These victims, after learning from the experience of Ruyi Bank, most of them seemed much safer even if they entered the stock market with money. They did not dare to invest in new stocks that had big ups and downs, but instead looked for safer stock investments.

Exactly…

Wang Bushi invests in these relatively safe stocks, and he holds them for the long term.

When everyone looked at Wang Bushi with sympathy, feeling that Wang Bushi had been taken advantage of, they comforted Wang Bushi.

Wang Bushi took off his sunglasses as usual, breathing heavily, then took out a silk handkerchief to wipe his sunglasses, and said calmly: “It doesn’t matter, thanks to the return of the stolen goods, I have earned another three to five dollars from the stocks I hold.” One million taels of silver. “
