A lesson, this is a lesson from blood and tears.

Emperor Hongzhi was heartbroken. After all, once the money could not be retrieved, the consequences would be too serious.

Who would have thought that the risks behind this would be so great?

It is not just a matter of losing money, but it almost caused people's livelihood turmoil.

Emperor Hongzhi had a calm face and ordered someone to escort Chen Zheng up.

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

He was already ragged and unkempt. Although he looked like a man, he found that this man did not look outstanding, but just such an ordinary person made the ministers and thousands of people in the court go around.

Emperor Hongzhi's heart was calm, but he hoped that Chen Zheng would be such a mediocre person who could deceive me.

But, it is the case.

Chen Zheng was kowtowing like pounding garlic, begging for mercy.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Chen Zheng calmly and said coldly: "The net of heaven is vast and sparse, and there is no leakage. Is the thief still today?"

Chen Zheng said with a miserable look: "At the beginning... the sinner knew there was a problem. If he escaped immediately, there would be no possibility of escape."

Chen Zheng's words were a bit surprising, and Emperor Hongzhi was surprised.

Chen Zheng was crying: "The sinner used greed to lure people all over the world, but in the end he fell into the trap because of greed. Although the sinner felt something was wrong, he had to stay for the huge profits. This... is where the sinner died today."

All the officials were silent when they heard it.

This is so heartbreaking...

At the beginning, everyone invested in Ruyi Money House. Isn’t it because of this greed?

Chen Zheng clearly noticed the danger, but he still had expectations and tried his best to take out the silver. Isn’t this a waste of desire?

Emperor Hongzhi's heart skipped a beat.

He looked back and suddenly woke up now. Isn’t that the same?

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "If we are guilty of sin, I and all the good people are not guilty. People have committed greed. Even though they know that there are many unreasonable aspects, they still try their best to do so. This is not only the teachings this time, but also the warnings, and we should examine ourselves three times in the future."

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

With a faint expression, Emperor Hongzhi ordered someone to take Chen Zheng down and ordered the three departments to conduct a trial, and Ming Zhengdian's punishment.

After seeing Chen Zheng, Emperor Hongzhi's mood calmed down a lot, and then his eyes fell on Wang Bushi, and the admiration in his eyes became deeper and deeper, saying: "Wang Qing's family earned a fortune of thousands of dollars, but did not blind his mind because of this fortune of thousands of dollars. This time he made great contributions. What do you think should you reward?"

All the officials couldn't help but look at Wang Bushi secretly.

Wang Bushi's face was terriblely calm and seemed to be motionless.

This person is really enviable.

Not only is he rich enough to compete with the country, but he made great contributions because he followed Fang Jifan to investigate a case. It can be said that he has both fame and fortune.

Wang Bushi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have some credit. If Your Majesty gives me a lot, I will not dare to accept it."

He paused. Everyone thought that Wang Bushi was just a humble word, but listened to Wang Bushi: "I was just a scholarly Hanlin before, and I didn't know how to promote the country and build a family? I have only learned the great works of Mr. Liu's country and wealth. Although Mr. Liu is not a teacher, I have learned all these knowledge of investing in and managing the family."

Wang Bushi then sighed and said with some emotion: "But if you only read books, it is absolutely not enough. You must know that the theory of wealth of the country is based on a good business environment. If you only learn from books but have no prosperity in business, you are a clever wife and have no rice to cook. Therefore, I am just relying on the surface of the new policy. I have luckily gained some wealth, which is not worth mentioning. I can drink water and remember the source. The fundamental reason is that Ouyang Treasures under the Fang family's family first opened the new policy and Mr. Liu Wenshan's magnificent masterpiece. This time, the investigation of the Qin case was the most important thing for Qi. The only thing worthy of praise is that I have done my best to give it a little effort and took out some silver. If it is just for this, Your Majesty will give me a generous gift, and I... feel ashamed of it."

Everyone automatically skipped the praises of Ouyang Zhi and Liu Wenshan before.

But the sentence that followed was just a little bit of effort and took out some silver... but it was just a matter of listening to it, making people feel very upset.

Is there anything more heartbreaking than this?

Five million taels of silver, is it some money?

I will lose 2 million taels if I return the stolen goods. This is the only way to lose?

Is this what a person says?

Emperor Hongzhi was silent, his eyes were faint, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

At this time, Fang Jifan said, "Your Majesty, I think it is a reward for public purposes. As the saying goes, if Wang Bushi takes out five million taels of silver to assist in the investigation of the imperial case, he will not be rewarded. From then on, who else dares to serve the imperial court? Please investigate clearly."

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes suddenly lit up a little, he felt confident, nodded and said, "The Ministry of Rites agrees to reward him."

After Emperor Hongzhi said that, he looked at Zhang Sheng, Minister of Rites.

Zhang Sheng immediately kowtowed and said, "I obey the order."

Emperor Hongzhi immediately said: "As for the contributions of Duke Qi, I will discuss them and report to me tomorrow."

"Abide by the order."

Emperor Hongzhi gave instructors and glanced at Fang Jifan: "It is the matter of returning the stolen goods, and it is still the Fang Qing family and Wang Qing family who come to do it impartially."

…………

All the ministers sued.

Fang Jifan followed the crowd out of the hall, and his disciples Ouyang Zhi and Wang Bushi followed him and followed him.

Ouyang Zhi lowered his head and said nothing. He suddenly raised his head, and then he realized that he seemed to be praised again.

Fang Jifan glanced at his dull disciple and couldn't help but sigh, feeling sorry for him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "How is the Ministry of Personnel recently?"

Ouyang Zhi thought for a while: "Shangke."

In the eyes of outsiders, Ouyang Zhi is a person who is indifferent to the situation. No matter how he praises him, he always looks expressionless, so that everyone in the Ministry of Personnel understands that Ouyang Butang does not like to flatter and flatter.

But in Fang Jifan's opinion, his chief disciple was just a little slow to react.

It is better to react slowly, and slowness has the benefits of slowness.

Since he said Shangke, Fang Jifan had no more remarks.

After walking for a long time, Fang Jifan couldn't help but stop again: "Is there any difficulty recently?"

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

"Oh." Fang Jifan nodded and continued to move forward.

After walking forward for dozens of steps, Fang Jifan finally couldn't help it and stopped again: "Tell the truth, who bullied you?"

Ouyang Zhi was silent for a moment: "Mr., no one bullies the students."

Fang Jifan couldn't help but grin: "Since that's the case, after your Minister of Personnel retires from the court, why don't you go to Chongwen Gate? What should I do with me to the Meridian Gate?"

There are many city gates in the palace. For example, when Emperor Hongzhi enters and leaves, it is the Daming Gate. When the visit is outside, it is the Meridian Gate. Generally, if the ministers on duty meet, because Chongwen Gate is closest to various ministries and government offices, they all enter and leave from Chongwen Gate.

Ouyang Zhi followed Fang Jifan all the time, and Fang Jifan thought that he had something to say, whether he had been bullied or wronged. He thought that Ouyang Zhi's shy person was difficult to say, so Fang Jifan gave him a lot of opportunities, so he wanted him to say it out.

Who knows, this dog-like thing has nothing to do, so what should I do?

Wasting his care as a mentor?

Ouyang Zhi then looked up and slapped his forehead, saying in surprise: "Oh, mentor, the students are dead, and the students are just following their mentors, forgetting that it's time to leave Chongwen Sect."

"Students say goodbye."

Ouyang Zhi seemed to be afraid of being blamed by Fang Jifan, and looked ashamed.

Fang Jifan's dog-like thing, facing such a disciple, had no words after all, so he changed his smile: "Go."

Speaking of which, what he felt most distressed was Ouyang Zhi. Ouyang Zhi was usually taciturn, but he always carried out everything he asked him to do. Humans were group animals, and everyone would be influenced by the people around him. As long as they were humans, they would have their own little thoughts. Only Ouyang Zhi had no distractions and would never be influenced by the people around him. This is a damn talent.

…………

The return of the stolen goods went on very quickly.

The silver was escorted as much as possible.

Then all the victims were ordered to register with the documents they had invested in Ruyi Money House.

The account books have been checked here in Ruyi Money House, and the accounts are compared one by one, and all are drawn by students from the School of Calculation.

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 became quiet all of a sudden. Xishan Money House also carried out the business of returning the stolen goods everywhere, and the stolen goods were returned very quickly.

As expected, Wang Bushi became rich again.

The people do not have many investment channels.

Ruyi Money House has inhaled a lot of money.

Now that all these funds are returned, people have spare money in their hands. After thinking about it... even though the stock market has risen and fall, it is still credible after all.

After the Ruyi Money Bank case broke out and caused a decline in stock prices, the news of the return of the stolen goods began to rise the next day.

With the lessons learned from Ruyi Money Bank, most of the victims seemed much more secure even when they entered the stock market with money. They did not dare to invest in new stocks with big ups and downs, but instead looked for those more secure stock investments.

precisely……

What Wang Bushi invested in is these relatively stable stocks, and they are still held for a long time.

When everyone looked at Wang Bushi with sympathy, feeling that Wang Bushi had become a sucker and comforted Wang Bushi.

Wang Bushi took off his sunglasses as usual, vented his breath, and then took out a silk squid to wipe his sunglasses, but said calmly: "It's okay, thanks to returning the stolen goods, I earned another three to five million taels of silver in the stocks I held."
