but……

Deng Jian still has some questions.

He looked at Zhang Jingyi and then said, "According to various situations, many of the concepts of Fushe are similar to those of the Donglin Party, and there are some overlaps with each other. Why should we specifically target this Fushe?"

Zhang Jingyi said: "The Donglin Party is a top-down organization. First, famous scholars set up academies, and then a group of people stole the power of the court, especially the Ministry of Personnel. As long as the promotion and dismissal of officials are controlled, scholars who want to surrender to the Donglin Party will naturally be like crucian carp crossing the river."

Zhang Jing paused and then said, "After all, such so-called learning party has been around since ancient times and there is nothing surprising. What is the difference between the so-called Donglin Party and the eunuch Party?"

"If we want to understand one thing, we must understand the essence of a problem. Looking at a study party, we must also understand the nature of the study party. But Fushe... is very different. The difference between it and Donglin is that it is a bottom-up organization. This Fushe first started with a few unknown scholars and then expanded. I think you know the scale. Just a juren, the surname Zhang, isn't it? How can you do such a thing? How do they promote it and how they contact each other... Think about it carefully... Which one does not need money here? Which one does not need someone to support behind the back?"

"After that, they can even bribe the Grand Secretary of the Beijing city and decide on the selection of officials. Is this... just for the slogan of governing the world they put forward? I can't see it all... After all, I'd better catch the Zhang first, and then follow the clues..."

Zhang Jingyi was silent for a moment and said extremely solemnly: "I suspect... this matter is not simple!"

After hearing this, Deng Jian said, "Okay, the key point is to start with the restoration of the society."

Deng Jian is professional after all.

At least after he started to take charge of Nanjing, a large number of Jinyiwei personnel brought him began to take over a series of cases.

Things began to become orderly.

According to his intention, each residence is not in a hurry to copy, arrest people first, arrest people, and punish them. At the same time, he sends people to follow the residence of every person involved in the case to ensure that his family takes risks or hides their goods.

The cases are sorted out and the cases of different people are divided into five categories: A, B, C, D and Wu. Different levels of cases are adopted in different ways.

Treating differently is actually the easiest thing to make people feel confused.

For example, Qian Qianyi, a smart man like him, soon realized that he was detained in a new cell.

The sign of B27 was hung on the cell.

At this moment... he was careful.

Sure enough, as soon as he asked, he realized... the reason he entered Room B was because his sins were not as fierce as they were, and his confession was not considered a Class A criminal.

It is reported that Class A criminals may be punished with nine clans.

Of course, it's just a rumor.

This made Qian Qianyi feel relieved, but soon he started to think.

After all, a very clever man like him is imprisoned every day and rarely comes into contact with people. The thing he does every day is to make all kinds of thoughts.

So after thinking about it, he suddenly felt that... he might still have a chance!

Since there is still hope, you have to fight for a Class C or Class D treatment.

Thinking of this, he began to write letters to the Jinyiwei or to Zhang Jingyi.

Most of these letters are regretful, but obviously, people are not interested in this.

Seeing that this move was useless, he closed his eyes and pondered every day, racking his brains to figure out who else was not reported by him.

Or...you know something else.

Thinking of this, suddenly... he seemed to have thought of something.

Then, he suddenly shouted in prison: "I want to see His Highness the Prince of Liaodong, and I want to see His Highness the Prince of Liaodong."

At this time... if you don't say what you want to say, you're really a fool.

No matter how stupid Qian Qianyi is, he knows that everyone is reporting others or being reported.

Instead of explaining all the questions quickly, it is better to just be a little bit.

Sure enough, in the evening, Zhang Jingyi came in person.

Zhang Jingyi didn't have to come in person, just someone would just interrogate her.

It’s just that Qian Qianyi claims to have an important information, given that Qian Qianyi… has a wide connection in Jiangnan, and what this guy said is serious.

Zhang Jingyi is gradually relaxing now, so he wants to come and see it in person.

The place where the arraignment was in the cell.

Zhang Jingyi asked someone to pour tea for Qian Qianyi.

Qian Qianyi was busy saying goodbye to the lower house. Zhang Jing waved his hand and said, "There is no need to make trouble with these red tape in this place. You know my purpose very well, so let's get straight to the point first."

Qian Qianyi said, "The criminal official only has one thing to ask about."

Zhang Jing nodded: "You ask."

Qian Qianyi said: "What crime does the people in Room B commit...?"

"The crime of beheading the house."

Qian Qianyi shivered suddenly, but then asked again: "Where is Room A?"

"The crime of killing the clan and raiding the house."

Qian Qianyi was unwilling to give up and asked again: "Where is Room C?"

"The crime of exile and house search."

Qian Qianyi: “…”

He didn't give up and continued to ask: "Where is room Ding Hao?"

"The crime of raiding the house!"

Qian Qianyi: “…”

Qian Qianyi gritted his teeth and said, "Where is No. 5?"

Zhang Jing smiled, slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and said, "There is no need to search the house."

Qian Qianyi's face calmed down slightly.

If all the houses were to be confiscated, he would really suspect that the foolish lord and Zhang Jing came to Jiangnan excitedly, they were not here to suppress the rebellion, but to search the houses.

Zhang Jingyi immediately said, "But this crime is not small, and he will be fined, ranging from 1,000 to 100,000 taels... He had to search the house if he didn't pay the full fine."

Qian Qianyi: “…”

Zhang Jingyi said again: "You came to the General Governor to ask these questions? Do you think General Governor is very leisurely and elegant?"

Qian Qianyi knew in his heart that his crime was probably a beheading and a house search. Although it was better than extermination of the clan, it was not much better.

So he gritted his teeth and said, "If you report important clues, can you... be able to reduce your crime?"

Zhang Jingyi said, "That depends on how useful your clue is."

Qian Qianyi then said: "Students know... some people have been colluding with overseas. Can this... be reduced?"

"Overseas?" Zhang Jing became interested, so he looked at him steadily and said, "Which overseas?"

Qian Qianyi took a deep breath and stared at Zhang Jingyi. He knew that his chance might have come. So he said, "Did the governor know how much silver a stone of white rice is during the Zhengde period?"

Zhang Jing looked at him and said, "You said."

Qian Qianyi said: "In Jiangnan, one stone of white rice, five coins are only six coins of silver, these are all well-documented. So now... I dare to ask the governor, how much is the value of a stone of white rice?"

Zhang Jingyi: “…”

Zhang Jing frowned and said, "The current normal market price is around three or four taels of silver."

"More than that," Qian Qianyi said: "Some places, even reach a dozen taels. Last year, in Shandong, one stone of white rice, or even fifteen taels of silver, in Jiangnan, the same is true for this."

Zhang Jingyi seemed to begin to notice Qian Qianyi's meaning. He looked at Qian Qianyi with a faint look and encouraged: "You continue talking."

Qian Qianyi said, "This is very strange. Even if there are many famines happening now, there are almost no major disasters in Jiangnan. Rice prices have always been stable before Jiajing. Why did rice prices start to soar after Jiajing, especially after the Wanli period? I dare to ask the governor, what is the reason?"

Zhang Jingyi didn't think much and subconsciously said: "Either the rice has become less, or it's..."

Qian Qianyi interrupted him and said, "The rice may become smaller, but less... The criminal official said that Jiangnan has never reached the point of hunger, so no matter how small it is, it will not rise to such a level. Moreover, since the price of rice rises, it has never fallen."

Zhang Jingyi raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Then what you mean is... If you don't have enough rice, will the money be increased?"

Qian Qianyi nodded and said, "Yes, the root cause is that there is more silver! A large number of silver patterns appeared on the market, and these silver patterns were rushing to buy physical goods, so the prices rose."

Zhang Jingyi followed his words and said, "Over the past few years, my Ming Dynasty has not opened up new silver mines, and the silver is limited."

"Yes, the same is true for the Criminal Official. Over the years, not only did not mine new copper mines, but some silver mines mined by our Ming Dynasty from the reign of Emperor Gao of Emperor Taizu have been exhausted."

Zhang Jingyi's face became more and more serious, and he said, "You might as well understand your words."

Qian Qianyi said: "Can it make the white rice soar tenfold, and the silver in my Ming Dynasty itself has not increased. So where does this silver come from? Just say a word. In the hands of some people, silver has long been flooded. The governor has heard that some people use sea boats and ships to the Ming Dynasty every year?"

After hearing this, Zhang Jing took a deep breath. He gradually felt that the real big fish was about to appear, but... he could still control himself. After all, he was no longer young. Even though he was young, his mental age was no longer a naughty person.

So Zhang Jingyi didn't show any expression, laughed, and said calmly: "Oh? These people... do you know who they are?"

Qian Qianyi said: "I dare not say I know, but... I can provide some clues."

Zhang Jing said: "Where is the clue?"

At this time, Qian Qianyi suddenly stopped talking.

Zhang Jing looked at him with certainty: "Speak!"
Chapter completed!
