After hearing the whole story, the Chief of Punishment breathed a sigh of relief.
I was thinking about bringing some gifts to him someday. I didn't dare to visit him. What kind of person is he? How could he visit a young master? But I had to send the gift.
The factory owner seemed much kinder than before, but he also seemed more terrifying. He always gave off a kind of smiling tiger vibe.
Not long after, Censor Liu died, and the East Factory sent people to search his house. Those family members of Censor Liu who should be exiled were exiled, and those who should be executed were executed.
Even if he was unwilling to confess to the embezzlement of one million taels of military pay for the frontier troops, there was still a lot of evidence against him that could easily put him to death.
After the execution of Liu Yushi's family, the smell of blood in Caishikou became much stronger. After watching the excitement, the people continued to live their lives as usual, but An Zhongyi's action caused a wave of criticism among the scholars.
"How could this damned eunuch have been so cruel to the Censor! Censor Liu is a man of high character and incorruptible integrity. How could he have forced the people to sell their children? Even if he did, it must have been done by his servants. Lord Liu is usually busy with court affairs, so it's normal for him to overlook his servants. Damn the East Depot!"
"If this continues, An Zhongyi will kill all the loyal officials, both civil and military, in the court! Won't the eunuchs rule the world from now on?"
"Your Majesty is currently being deceived by treacherous individuals. We scholars should carry on the legacy of our ancestors, establish our hearts for the world, establish our lives for the people, carry on the lost knowledge of the past sages, and bring peace to the world for all eternity! Everyone, is there anyone willing to join me in going to the palace and petitioning for the execution of the eunuch An Zhongyi, so that peace can be restored to the world?"
"Let's go together!"
"Let's go together, let's go now!"
Before the indignant scholars could even leave the house, they were all captured by the East Factory who had already rushed over.
"What are you doing? Don't be so rude! We are all scholars! Don't be so rude!"
"What are you doing! What law have we broken? Let me go!"
Ignoring the struggles of these sickly scholars, the people from the East Factory simply tied them up and took them away.
Some of them struggled violently and were stabbed on the spot, but they did not die. After all, they were human remains that could be exchanged for silver.
After taking the people away, they did not take them to the East Factory prison because they were not worthy. Instead, they were sent to the Ministry of Justice prison. After investigation, the mastermind behind the scenes was found out. Others who had money could come to redeem themselves, and those who did not have money were exiled.
The chief official of the Ministry of Justice was An Zhongyi's man. After the East Factory sent people to escort the person over, the chief official of the Ministry of Justice was very happy.
…
"Mr. Factory, everything has been handled clearly. It's just a bunch of useless scholars who think they are in charge of the country." Liu Qianhua reported.
Then he respectfully handed the stack of banknotes in front of him to An Zhongyi's desk.
An Zhongyi picked up the banknotes, glanced at them casually, and then pulled out ten 1,000-liang notes. "Just handle it properly. Don't report such trivial matters to me in the future. As for the silver collected, divide it among everyone below. Those who participated will get 50 liang each, and the rest will be divided among you thousand households."
Liu Qianhua happily took it, and then seeing that An Zhongyi had no other instructions, she took the banknote and went out.
When we arrived at the East Factory, a group of people were already guarding it. The factory owner was always generous, and everyone could make a lot of money every time they participated in something.
"Fu Shen, Shen Lu, divide these six thousand taels between you."
"Everyone below gets fifty taels, and each of you centurions gets two hundred taels. Don't forget to give some to your brothers in prison as well."
He and several thousand households divided the rest, and each of them got 500 taels.
An Zhongyi said that he would distribute the same amount to his subordinates without any discount. He knew very well what would happen if An Zhongyi found out that he was disobeying his orders.
…
While shopping, An Jingzhi found a fierce-looking dog, a bit like a Tibetan Mastiff. As a playboy, how can he be considered a playboy if he doesn't walk his dog?
To be honest, being An Zhongyi's son feels more comfortable than being a prince. A prince has all kinds of status restrictions, but what kind of restrictions can there be for being An Zhongyi's son? Anyway, his father is not a good person, and he is not a good person either. Isn't this normal?
It’s a pity that this emperor is a man who gets rid of his wealth after it has served his purpose.
Lamenting that his life as a dandy, where he only plays with birds and dogs, is getting shorter day by day, An Jingzhi enjoys and cherishes the present days even more.
This dog grew taller with the wind. An Jingzhi often fed him some meat and bones, and took him to hunt in the mountains and forests. Originally a weak puppy, not yet an adult, he has now grown to the height of a human knee.
The aura was so powerful and terrifying that when the eyes stared at people, they would feel creepy, fearing that their flesh would be bitten off by the other party in the next second.
Only Xiaobai and An Jingzhi, who often fed him, dared to get close.
Holding the dog leash, even if there were no Dongchang guards around him, no one would dare to approach An Jingzhi.
"What? Are you saying that I am wrong?"
"Master Su, please forgive me. It's all my fault that I didn't pay attention when I walked. I accidentally bumped into you. We will waive the meal fee today as an apology."
An Jingzhi heard the voice of the restaurant owner from a distance.
The food in this restaurant is good, and An Jingzhi comes here to eat every few days.
I didn't expect that something would happen this time.
After listening to the confusing voices in front for a while, I understood the cause and effect.
An Jingzhi glanced at the Tibetan Mastiff and said, "Xiaohu, it's time for you to contribute."
The Tibetan Mastiff opened its mouth and stuck out its tongue, not knowing whether it understood or not.
When An Jingzhi approached, he saw the man with greasy hair and powdered face pushing the shopkeeper to the ground.
To be honest, An Jingzhi had a very good impression of the shopkeeper. Not only because of the other party's protection that time, but he also saw many times that the shopkeeper would often give the leftovers of the customers to beggars begging on the street.
Even the leftovers that could not be eaten were a delicacy to the beggars.
"Woof woof!" An Jingzhi 'accidentally' loosened the dog leash, and the Tibetan Mastiff pounced on the greasy-haired man, knocked him down and bit him on the butt.
"Ah!" The greasy-haired man screamed and kept asking the people around him to help pull the dog away.
Tibetan Mastiffs are extremely ferocious and have sharp teeth, so no one dares to get close to them.
I could only watch him being bitten nervously, and I didn't dare to leave.
After a while, seeing the blood, An Jingzhi walked forward pretending to be sorry, "Oh, I'm so sorry, I let the dog run away, how about you not get bitten?" There was no sincerity in his apology.
The slicked-back man was helped to his feet by his men and looked at him angrily, "You! Are you blind?! Can't you see that my butt is bleeding?!"
"Oh, it's really bleeding. Is everything okay?" An Jingzhi asked with concern.
These words were more sincere than before. The greasy-haired man was a little satisfied. He looked up and was about to continue teaching the other party a lesson, but he saw a side that made him even more furious.
