My uncle is Zhu Di

Chapter 196: The Military Honored Ones Make Trouble
When Xu Qin heard Xu Jingchang say that those children of military honors were going to cause trouble, he stood up in surprise.

Xu Jingchang ate and smiled as he said, "They are going to go to the Censorate and the Imperial Guards to conduct a thorough investigation and give an explanation to the deceased. However, brother, it is a pity that those people died. They were the only ones among our military meritorious children who could study, and they were all killed. Anyway, everyone is dissatisfied."

Xu Qin sat down at this moment and sighed. He felt sad for those who were burned to death. Military heroes and civil officials were inherently incompatible. The children of military heroes were relatively united, but they were brainless. The children of civil officials looked kind, but they would soon be tied together because of interests, and more firmly.

"Brother, should I go?" Xu Jingchang looked at Xu Qin and asked.

"Go, of course you should go. Also, on behalf of your brother, give five thousand taels to each of their families. I'll get the silver for you later. Tell those young men who are planning to cause trouble to go ahead and make trouble. If they die, I will support their families. Don't go to the Jinyiwei to cause trouble. Go to the Censorate and the Ministry of Justice to cause trouble. You can even use force." Xu Qin sat there and said to Xu Jingchang.

"Why don't you go to the Embroidered Uniform Guard to make trouble?" Xu Jingchang looked at Xu Qin in confusion.

"The Imperial Guards are our own people. They are definitely planning to investigate. If you go and make a scene, it will only delay their investigation! The Ministry of Justice and the Censorate are all civil officials. They must know something about this matter. We need to put some pressure on those civil officials. Go ahead and make a scene. After that, you can book a restaurant and let them have a meal there. I'll pay for it.

"I told my brothers that I can't go. First, I have too many things to do. Second, I have a public office. Also, if I go, I might kill someone. It's not our turn to kill someone now. If anyone wants to kill someone, it should be your Majesty." Xu Qin said to Xu Jingchang.

"I understand, brother!" Xu Jingchang nodded.

"Shiyue, go get two hundred thousand taels of silver and give it to the second brother!" Xu Qin instructed Shiyue.

"Yes, young master!" Shiyue went out immediately.

"Brother, you don't need so much." Xu Jingchang said immediately.

"Take it first and go to the families of those dead brothers. If they are in difficulty, you can give more. It's okay. I am your brother and I am not short of money!" Xu Qin waved his hand and said to Xu Jingchang.

Xu Jingchang nodded, understanding what Xu Qin meant.

"What did you mean by what you just said about the workshop?" Xu Qin said to Xu Jingchang.

"I heard that the Trade Bureau is planning to build some workshops on its own, is that right? Someone approached me hoping to cooperate with the Trade Bureau to build workshops together." Xu Jingchang said to Xu Qin.

"Who is it?" Xu Qin asked.

"Do you know Chen Yuanzhen, a businessman in Yingtian Prefecture?" Xu Jingchang said to Xu Qin. Chen Yuanzhen can be said to be the richest businessman in Yingtian Prefecture. His assets are estimated to be more than 20 million taels. His family business is very big and also very mysterious. This person has good relations with several princesses' palaces and also has good relations with some royal palaces.

"How do you know him?" Xu Qin frowned and asked Xu Jingchang.

"His son is also in the Imperial College. He found me and said that he hoped I could introduce his father to visit you. I thought about it and realized it was related to my eldest brother, so I came. I heard that he hoped to set up some workshops with you, my eldest brother." Xu Jingchang said honestly to Xu Qin.

Xu Qin smiled and said to Xu Jingchang, "Gou Wa, do you know how much our family earns a year?"

Xu Jingchang shook his head. Although he knew a lot, he didn't know the exact amount.

Xu Qin smiled and said, "The cloth-related workshops have a net profit of no less than 300 million taels a year. Your family has %, so the profit is taels. The profit of the glass workshop is no less than million taels a year, and it is possible that it can even be million taels. Your family has %, so it is at least million taels. I will have other businesses in the future. In your eyes, Chen Yuanzhen's family property of million taels is too much."

Twenty million taels, at most ten years, you will have it, at the fastest, five years, you will have it too, he is nothing, he came to see me, and wanted to set up a workshop with me? What conditions did he offer to set up a workshop with me? Am I short of money, power, or people?

I want to set up a workshop, can I use him?

Also, Chen Yuanzhen has very complicated relationships. It is said that he has 20 million taels, but it is not known how much actually belongs to his family. There may be princesses or princes behind him. Otherwise, how could Chen Yuanzhen stay in the capital for more than ten years?

Still want to win me over? Does he have the qualifications? "

"Ah?" Xu Jingchang looked at Xu Qin in surprise.

"Don't worry about business matters in the future. If you need money, ask your aunt or me! As for you, you just need to get along well with those people, especially the children of military honors. You will need to lead troops in battles in the future, and you can't do it without people you can trust." Xu Qin instructed Xu Jingchang.

"I understand, brother. Anyway, I just came here to talk. I'll just give him an answer if it works or not. I just want to say that my brother is too busy and has no time." Xu Jingchang said with a smile. His family is so rich, all of which is earned by his eldest brother. He can't spend it all even if he wants to. He really doesn't need to worry about money. "Well, you also want to participate in the trouble in the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate. Go ahead. I have things to do." Xu Qin said to Xu Jingchang.

Xu Jingchang smiled and nodded. After eating a few bites of snacks, Xu Jingchang left. Xu Qin sat there eating and thinking about this matter.

The sons of military honors will cause trouble. If they don't, those civil officials will think that the sons of military honors have no temper.

Moreover, the trouble caused by the children of military merit could also give Zhu Di an opportunity. Zhu Di just wanted to deal with those civil officials, and with the help of the children of military merit, it would be a smooth process.

Xu Jingchang quickly left the Duke of Wei's Mansion and went to the restaurant first, booking a restaurant directly. Then he went to meet up with those military heroes. After they learned that Xu Qin had booked a restaurant for them and asked them to go to the Censorate and the Ministry of Justice to cause trouble, those people became more confident. Hundreds of people went straight to the Censorate.

Chen Ying on the side of the Censorate was also having a headache. He was also Zhu Di's confidant and a dog in Zhu Di's hands. However, most of the people he had bitten before were military officials. But now, Zhu Di asked him to go against those civil officials. Chen Ying was a little scared. To be exact, he was a little worried. He knew the abilities of those civil officials. If he really bit off a few important officials, those civil officials would not let him go. Moreover, there would be no good comments about him after his death.

But the Censorate cannot help but investigate now. Even a fool knows that the fire in the Eastern Palace is closely related to those civil officials. So many young men did not rush out, and it is obvious that they were drugged, otherwise they would not have been burned to death. Although three people rushed out, none of them survived until this morning. They are all dead. It is impossible for the Censorate to pretend that it knows nothing about such a major case.

"Sir, it's bad. The sons of military heroes are rushing over. They want an explanation from us." An official rushed into Chen Ying's office and said anxiously.

"Ask us for an explanation? What does it have to do with us? The investigation is still ongoing, what explanation do they want?" Chen Ying stood up and questioned in great displeasure.

"Sir, they are outside now!" the official said anxiously.

Chen Ying didn't bother to continue talking to the official. He quickly walked out of the office and saw the sons of military honors rushing into the Censorate. When they saw Chen Ying, they shouted loudly, "Chen Ying is there!"

"Chen Ying, don't run away. Give us an explanation!"

"Chen Ying, stop!"

When the sons of military honors saw Chen Ying, they immediately shouted. Chen Ying was also surprised. He had no intention of running away. Moreover, this was the Censorate. If he ran away, how would he explain to the emperor? When the civil officials found out, wouldn't they impeach him to death?
"How dare you cause trouble here? Who gave you the courage? Get out of here! Since this is your first offense, I will let it go." Chen Ying shouted at the sons of military honors.

"Who set the fire?" One of the young men of military honors stared at Chen Ying and shouted.

"Yes, who released it?" everyone shouted.

"It's still under investigation. How should I know who released it? His Majesty is also taking this matter very seriously! You guys go back quickly." Chen Ying shouted to the sons of military honors with his hands behind his back.

"Go back? You want us to go back without any results? For the more than twenty people who died, shouldn't you, the Censorate, investigate the matter as soon as possible? Don't you want to give us an explanation?" Another young man also shouted at Chen Ying.

"If you don't tell us, we won't leave. It's such a big case, and you haven't found any clues. Just tell us who it is, and we'll go find him right now."

"Yes, why do we keep your Censorate? It's been a whole night, and there's no movement?"

Those sons of military honors began to make a fuss.

"How dare you! Someone come, kick him out!" Chen Ying shouted while standing there.

"Who dares? The Censorate must give us an explanation today!" everyone shouted.

Those guarding the Censorate were all members of the Imperial Guard, a total of twenty-two guards. Moreover, many officers of the Imperial Guard were children of military honors. They were already very angry, and now that they saw them coming to the Censorate, Chen Ying wanted to order them around, but that was a dream. The only one who could order them around was Zhu Di.

Of course Zhu Di knew from the beginning that the sons of military honors were going to the Censorate, and he did not order to stop them. How could the officers of the Imperial Guard not understand this?

Zhu Di also wanted to put some pressure on the civil officials, but in Xia Yuanji's office, Xia Yuanji basically did not deal with any official documents the whole morning. Xia Yuanji did not know about the fire in the Eastern Palace and had no information at all. But the news that has come out now shows that the civil officials must have been involved, and they had contacted the officials, eunuchs, and palace maids of the Eastern Palace to accomplish this.

Xia Yuanji felt very bad. More than 20 lives were a small matter, but how could Zhu Di let them go easily after killing these people? Wasn't this forcing Zhu Di to kill people?
