The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1552

[1552. Chapter 1474 The real truth]

See Emperor Hongzhi and ask him.

Fang Jifan was speechless.

You can’t ask him about this.

Fang Jifan thought for a moment and said, “Your Majesty, why don’t you inquire about Jiang Yan before making a decision?”

“Inquiry?” Emperor Hongzhi frowned thoughtfully and said, “What do you mean…”

He I have roughly understood…

Xiao Jing hurriedly stepped forward and said: “Slave… let’s do it now.”

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and said: “Seeing is believing.”

He began to be suspicious of everything. attitude.

Emperor Hongzhi asked: “Where is Jiang Yan’s mansion?”

His eyes fell on Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing started to sweat profusely, and after thinking for a while he said, “I’ll go check it out first. Your Majesty, sit down for a moment.”

After a while, Xiao Jing left and came back again, giving the general location.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and asked Xiao Jing to prepare a carriage and horses. Then he got into the carriage and the carriage stopped at a mansion near Daming Palace.

This is a house covering an area of more than ten acres.

From the looks of it, the price is quite high.

Of course… Under normal circumstances, no one would accuse someone of being greedy just because they live in a luxurious house.

In this world, most of the people who can really study, take imperial examinations, and gain fame are not ordinary people. Even if a few poor peasants occasionally appear and create the miracle of farming and reading, people talk about it. But in the Ming Dynasty, books Pens, ink, and paper are valuable, and at a time when ordinary people had difficulty even eating, those who were named on the gold list were often those from well-off families.

After the Zhengtong Dynasty, the situation became particularly serious.

Because those wealthy families and the local gentry have begun to understand the rules of the imperial examination, how to write essays, and how to write eight-legged essays. These all need to be guided by famous teachers, and these famous teachers are sometimes Hua Hua. You may not even be able to get the money.

Scholars began to rely on these to weave one network after another to cultivate talents for the imperial court, so that they could be named on the gold list, or become candidates or scholars, and formed a bond.

Therefore, there are many people who have been named on the gold list. They have not received even a month’s salary, but they have started to buy a mansion. Otherwise, their families have money.

This house can be described as exquisite. Because it occupies a large area, it seems quiet and feels quite hidden in the busy city.

Emperor Hongzhi asked someone to knock on the door, and then the concierge opened the door and saluted: “Who is it?”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: “Xishan Bank.”

The concierge was polite at first, but when he heard about Xishan Bank, his attitude changed. .

The owners of such high-end mansions have always made friends with noble people in the past. Although Xishan Bank has a great family and a great business, most of the people who may come here are people on errands.

His tone became cold: “What are you doing here in the bank? What does it have to do with our Jiang Mansion?”

Emperor Hongzhi was not angry, and still said with a smile: “About the return of stolen money.”

After hearing this, the concierge seemed to Knowing what happened, he said: “I have never invested money in Ruyi Bank, but you can come in and I will report it.”

Then the concierge welcomed the four of them into the small hall.

In the small hall, Emperor Hongzhi and others sat down, and then a young man came in arrogantly. As he came in, he complained: “What’s so great about Xishan Bank…”

After the person came in, he glanced at Emperor Hongzhi in the small hall. Wait for a look.

This was a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old. There was no politeness on his face. He only glanced left and right and said with his nostrils pointing to the sky: “My father is on duty. My name is Gyantse. You Xishan Bank came just in time. I have something to say.” Say, let alone your loan, the interest rate is not low anymore, just talk about Ruyi Bank refunding the stolen goods, why should you favor one over the other? Some people refunded the full amount, but some only refunded 60%. You still dare to come here after losing money. We need to make this matter clear.”

From the moment this young man appeared, Emperor Hongzhi began to look at him carefully.

Strange to say, this young man also had his hair permed. Not only that, he also had his ears pierced. Two large gold rings hung on his ears, which were very conspicuous. He also had powder applied on his face, so that his complexion looked pale. Pale and pale.

Looking at it this way… well, it’s quite scary.

Emperor Hongzhi’s heart skipped a beat, and his eyes suddenly hurt.

At this time, he couldn’t help but glance at Zhu Houzhao.

Hey, it seems that, as Fang Jifan said, the prince is really pleasing to the eye.

Hearing Gyantse’s complaints, Emperor Hongzhi remained silent.

But Fang Jifan said with a smile: “Oh, how can I favor one over another? Tell me. The Jiang family has never invested any money from Ruyi Bank, and there is no loss to the Jiang family. Why does this young master have such a big resentment?”

After listening to Fang Jifan’s words, , Gyangzi snorted and said coldly: “Who said I didn’t vote…”

When he said this, his expression became weird again, and he quickly said: “Even if you didn’t vote, it shows that you are so unfair, and you can’t stand it. “

It seems that your Jiang family has voted.” Fang Jifan said with a smile.

After all, Gyangzi was a young man and was used to being arrogant, so he said, “So what if I vote.”

Fang Jifan said, “Is it in the name of a distant relative or in the name of a servant in the mansion.”

“What does it have to do with you?” Gyangzi’s temper Very grumpy.

In this regard, he is a bit like Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan was surprisingly good-tempered: “And you only got back 60%, so you invested a lot, how many taels of silver did you lose?”

“Huh.” Gyangzi said, “Looking at your immature appearance, it seems that you are just a junior from Xishan Bank. Man, you dare to talk to me like this?”

Fang Jifan suddenly felt relieved to be called immature.

He and Emperor Hongzhi looked at each other.

Emperor Hongzhi remained silent, and Fang Jifan laughed and said: “Your Jiang family has a big business and can be called a rich family. Those people are very pitiful. They only invest a little, which is their wealth and life. You are losing money.” No matter how much money you have, you are still rich and noble. What’s more, your father is an official of the imperial court. He has been a royal official for a long time. He should share the worries of the imperial court. Why should he care about this?”

Gyangzi was angered and said angrily: “Shut up, there is nothing here. Are you here to provoke me? Why, do we, the Jiang family, deserve to suffer this?”

He gritted his teeth, looking very angry at this: “I see, this is clearly from your Xishan Bank. A trick, huh, my father already knew that there was something abnormal about this Ruyi Bank…”

“What…” Emperor Hongzhi’s eyes flashed with surprise, and he glared at Gyangzi and said, “You knew this earlier?”

Even though Emperor Hongzhi was only wearing regular clothes, at this time , but still possesses a somewhat innate air of calmness and dignity.

As if being suffocated by Emperor Hongzhi’s momentum, Gyangzi was stunned, suddenly feeling that he had made a mistake, and immediately kept silent.

A glimmer of light flashed in Emperor Hongzhi’s eyes, and he asked: “Is it possible that your Majesty is still colluding with Ruyi Bank?”

Gyangze’s expression changed, and then he glared at Emperor Hongzhi and said, “You are talking nonsense, get out, get out.”

Emperor Hongzhi, however Very angry.

Zhu Houzhao was also annoyed and wanted to pull out the dagger from his waist.

Seeing the ferocious looks of these four people, Jiangzi was a little scared, and wanted to go out and call someone. However, a young man of this age seemed to think it was shameful to call people out, so he said again: “My father is so smart, how can it be you?” You know, he knew that the dividends from Ruyi Bank were very unreasonable. How could there be such a good thing in the world? Therefore, he had already expected that the owner would run away sooner or later. However… before the owner wanted to escape, in order to deceive more people, he had to Guaranteed credit, my father has chosen the right time, taking advantage of this…”

At this time, outside the small hall, a steward of Jiang Mansion was peeping his head. When he heard the young master say this, he immediately coughed in horror and shouted : “Master, Master… Madam, please go to the back house.”

But…

Emperor Hongzhi and others suddenly understood everything.

No wonder Ruyi Bank has been operating in Beijing for so long and can deceive so many people with such unreasonable profits.

There are many smart people in this world.

Emperor Hongzhi, who lived deep in the palace, felt accustomed to such high-profit matters, so he was deceived.

After all, many of Emperor Hongzhi’s investments had made extremely high profits. Naturally, he felt that there was nothing wrong with Ruyi Bank.

Ordinary people, in fact, don’t have much knowledge. When they hear other people’s instigation, they will naturally be tempted and invest money together.

But… there are still some people who may not know that Ruyi Bank is unreasonable.

But they know very well that sooner or later Ruyi Bank will not be able to cash out.

But… they were jealous of this huge dividend, and they still kept their secrets, investing a lot of money, and enjoying this huge dividend.

They think they can control the situation.

As long as they keep a close eye on Ruyi Bank, Ruyi Bank can still deceive more people, and their dividends will be guaranteed.

Once they feel that the time has come, they will immediately withdraw their capital, not only preserving their principal, but also earning high dividends, and then wait for Ruyi Bank to explode.

This Yushi Jiang Yan is such a person…

To a certain extent, they are the accomplices of Ruyi Bank. They know that the situation may be serious, and they also enjoy this huge benefit. Once something happens to Ruyi Bank, they You can withdraw and withdraw.

Emperor Hongzhi was trembling with anger after learning the truth.

He had thought that everyone was a victim.

I thought everyone was kept in the dark.

Now I know…the real victims are just myself and the many ignorant people.

The only person who is really in the dark is yourself.

The steward of the Jiang Mansion obviously felt that his young master had said something that shouldn’t have been said. Even if the other party was just an employee of Xishan Bank, there would be no hindrance if he said something to them. But in this case, it was better to say less, so he went outside first Gyangzi reminded him, then walked in and said with a smile: “Everyone, my young master is young and ignorant, and he speaks without restraint. He just said a few nonsense words, but they are not serious. You guys are here and don’t know what’s going on. What’s the business? “
