Emperor Hongzhi was very dissatisfied with Fang Jifan's words.

This guy...

Everything is good, just laziness.

If you have so much ability to make money, why don’t you have to be on the right path?

When Emperor Hongzhi saw Fang Jifan, he seemed to be selling his flowers with a stubbornness, and he couldn't help feeling disappointed.

What a good kid, I went astray.

But as the emperor, I don’t want to ‘inspire’ him anymore.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Well, I'll wait for your scriptures and show some skills. If I do nothing again, I will punish you."

Fang Jifan bowed: "My son obeyed the order."

Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao said goodbye.

Zhu Houzhao argued with Fang Jifan: "Lao Fang, my father is too unrighteous. You are such a great hero, and you will punish you just because you have been a little lazy. What does this mean?"

Fang Jifan sighed: "Maybe it's because His Majesty is crazy about money."

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao felt it was reasonable and grinned: "Haha... I have always suspected that I was not my biological child, but now when I hear it, I feel... well... maybe I am really my biological child. I also want to be crazy about money, selling some land and earning some money, why is it so difficult?"

He frowned when he saw Fang Jifan: "Lao Fang, what are you thinking?"

Fang Jifan said worriedly: "I am worried about the White Lotus Sect. I am not afraid of the thieves stealing, but I am afraid of the thieves thinking about it. They have stole so much gunpowder and must have great plans. People like me, who have made great achievements and are also a Duke of the People. They have a high reputation among the people. Everyone is grateful to me. Isn't it the thorn in the eyes of these White Lotus Sect bandits? They must get rid of me and be quick. Only by killing me can they be able to rebel with peace of mind. I am a little worried. Not only are they worried about myself, but also the safety of His Highness the Princess and the Zhengqing. If they are allowed to succeed, it will be bad. It's okay for my life to die for the country and be loyal to the court to the end of my life. It is our wish for Jiefan in his life. But when he thinks about it, if there is no me in this world, many people will suffer with it. I feel anxious when I think of this."

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while: "Why didn't the White Lotus Sect bandits want to assassinate me? I'm also very important. I can knit sweaters, and my reputation is also very good..."

Fang Jifan stared at Zhu Houzhao: "Your Highness, do you still have any time to joke at this time? The disaster is coming, and you are still jealous of this."

"Okay, okay." Zhu Houzhao was unwilling to argue with Fang Jifan, so he said, "This is easy to deal with. You can send more trustworthy guards to protect you at any time. Don't worry. If there is not enough manpower, the palace will also allocate a group of guards from the East Palace. What are you afraid of? But instead of being passive, it is better to take the initiative to attack and capture all these sect bandits in one place."

Fang Jifan nodded and said, "I think so too. I will order Wang Jinyuan to investigate the actions of these thieves. If they dare to come to the capital, I will tell them to go but not return."

Zhu Houzhao nodded and was amused: "That's what it is, so I told you not to worry, you are a bit like this."

Fang Jifan said: "I am also for the sake of the people. The people cannot live without me. Without ministers, who will build houses for the people to live in?"

Zhu Houzhao was silent for a long time: "Actually... I can inherit your will."

Fang Jifan: "..."

…………

Wang Jinyuan heard that someone was going to assassinate the young master, and he almost exploded.

He consciously was the confidant of the young master. Those traitors might have to start attacking him first. So he hurriedly recruited the students from all over the new city and ordered them to investigate the bandits.

These students had a very good relationship with many victims, almost as a soundtrack for the victims. When they saw Wang Jinyuan sighing, someone said, "These thieves are so brave. Don't worry, the master Wang. There are so many people around him who protect him, and I think it's safe."

Wang Jinyuan stamped his feet: "But there are no one around me who can protect hundreds of guards at any time, so I must quickly take the thief. Otherwise, I expected these thieves to be attacked by me. I am the trusted person around the young master. Once I am gone, the young master will be inconvenient, just like a broken arm of the young master. If they fail to assassinate the young master, they will have to attack me. Therefore... the action must be fast, and no one can be slow. The young master has already said it clearly and immediately issued a reward. In addition, if everyone in the new city is to mobilize everyone, you must not give these thieves, and have an opportunity to take advantage of it."

After hearing this, everyone felt it was reasonable.

Everyone looked at Wang Jinyuan with sympathy.

Immediately afterwards, everyone began to recite the characteristics of the White Lotus Sect bandits, such as how they usually act, what statues would be enshrined at home, and how they spoke tone...

After they wrote down one by one, they began to travel around the streets and informed the families.

The victims of the original disaster had already settled in the capital.

The vast majority of people already have jobs and canteens have been withdrawn because they have the ability to make a living to support their families, so there is no need for relief.

Although life in this capital is hard, it is many times better than before.

Not only that, many people began to get preferential loans from Xishan Money House, and only paid some down payment, so they bought the house built by Xishan Jianye.

Of course, this kind of house cannot be compared with the mansion near the palace. In fact, the house is like a small box, the size of a palm, only a radius of more than ten meters, and the selling price is only ten taels of silver. After paying a few taels of silver, the rest of the money will be paid slowly.

But no matter what, everyone always has a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

Nearby, there are hospitals, schools, neat roads, and even... Shuntian Mansion has moved here, which has led to the price of 10 taels of silver in the house, which has risen to more than 120 taels.

So many people began to feel happy, after all, life has hope.

In this era, hope is a very luxurious thing for the common people.

Most people, in a small cave, cannot walk within a radius of thirty miles in their entire lives. The farthest ones they go are just markets. You can't imagine studying. Even if the family has to work hard, they still have to bear heavy labor. What they can get is just food for barely living. If they encounter any natural disaster, they will risk their whole family's death.

Therefore, every year of disaster, countless children with pale faces and skinny faces have grass labels on their heads, and sell them at almost awesome prices, but no one cares about them. Even in the good times, the price is higher, but the price is still not much higher.

In this era, it is forbidden to slaughter cattle at will, because cattle are extremely valuable resources. In comparison, most of the time, in the thorns, the price of people is even less than that of a cow.

At this time, when he heard someone was going to assassinate Duke of Qi, the people in Xincheng exploded.

So much so that everyone's eyes seemed to have a little more vigilance. Anyone who comes from a foreigner or thinks it is abnormal will report to the official without hesitation.

Shuntian Mansion was crowded with people coming to report to officials everywhere, and there were busy servants who were not stuck in the ground. They listened to the descriptions of the visitor and then determined whether it was suspicious. After that, there were still people who were specifically responsible for arresting them.

The entire new city is in full swing.

In one day, more than 300 suspicious people were caught.

In the old city, it was not much better. Even on the platform of the railway station with the largest crowds, the personnel from the New City and the Old City Military Office began to conduct investigations.

The entire capital was in chaos.

The Jinyiwei is a little confused here.

Mou Bin originally wanted to take this opportunity to make a great contribution, so he had already ordered thousands of households to start taking action. There were tens of thousands of people in the Jinyiwei and so many people. I thought it was a good idea this time, but who would have thought...

"Commander Mou... I have long been staring at a peddler and thought it was suspicious, so I have been secretly following him. I wanted to see who else he had contacted, but who expected that he was taken away by Shuntian Mansion this morning. It is said that someone reported him. Until now, this person has not been released."

"There is another shop, Qianhu House, Xincheng, and I have been paying attention to them, but at noon, a group of officers roared and... and the people took them away."

"The worst thing is Liu Qianhu. In order to show his face in front of the commander, Liu Qianhu decided to personally bring a few of his own brothers and dress up as ordinary people and investigate in secret on the streets and alleys. But who knows that he is not sure who is a person who is so conscientious. The tenth person thinks that Liu Qianhu and others are quite suspicious. So, another servant comes. These servants in Shuntian Prefecture are very fierce. When Liu Qianhu sees something wrong, the flood rushes to the Dragon King Temple.

When the thousand-husband rang, dozens or hundreds of servants and idle men on the roadside chased them out of four streets. They were held down and beaten up, and they vomited blood. Liu Qianhu wanted to reveal his identity. They didn't believe it. They slapped a few times and slapped them a few times. Whatever the Jinyiwei wanted to run away, it would be a thief. The people on the side also beat them, and then were taken to Shuntian Mansion. When they came back, there was no place on their body without bruises."

Mou Bin: “…”

"Commander Mou, how can you check the brothers in the middle of the journey? Now the spies dare not go out for fear of being regarded as bandits. The spies took to the streets and before they found anyone suspicious, the person was taken away. This was impossible."

Mou Bin took a deep breath.

In the past, he could not bear any respect for Shuntian Mansion.

But now it is different. He dared not provoke Shuntian Mansion at all, and there is the Liu Qianhu. If the flood had washed away the Dragon King Temple in the past, the Jinyiwei would have never given up, but now...

Mou Bin found himself, now he didn't even dare to say anything.

No matter how fierce the Jinyiwei is, is it more fierce than the crown prince or Fang Jifan?
