    After giving a salute to Emperor Tianqi, Chen Hong said respectfully: "Your Majesty, these are all ready, but what about the prisoners over there in the East Factory?" "All of them will be transferred to the Imperial Prison, and the trial can begin after tomorrow.  By the way, have you found the person I asked you to find?" Looking at Chen Hong, Emperor Tianqi asked with a sullen face.  "Your Majesty, we have found it, but we haven't started to contact him yet. Should we test it out today?" Chen Hong looked at Emperor Tianqi carefully and asked with a sullen face.  Nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi asked doubtfully: "What kind of family is this? Have you found out everything?" "Your Majesty, everything has been found out! This family's surname is Fang, and there are five people in the family.  , the owner¡¯s name is Fang Xing, a 42-year-old businessman. Fang Xing is originally from Anhui and now lives in the capital. He is a business family that has been in business for generations. In addition to Fang Xing, the Fang family also has Fang Xing¡¯s first wife, Zhao.  And the eldest son Fang Hua, the second son Fang Yan, and the eldest daughter Fang Fei," Chen Hong said in a respectful voice.  After pondering for a moment, Emperor Tianqi said calmly: "What kind of business is he in?" "Your Majesty, the Fang family has been engaged in the silk industry for generations, and the business is not small, but the Fang family is very responsible in business.  . It¡¯s not a wealthy businessman who donates money and medicine every year to help the poor. It¡¯s just that the Fang family has encountered some difficulties recently,¡± Chen Hong said with a respectful expression.  Nodding again, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "Are you sure there is nothing wrong with this person?" "Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister has asked Mr. Luo of Jin Yiwei to help, and all the upper six generations of Fang Xing have been found out.  The Fang family was originally a big family, but after the family fell into decline, they went their separate ways. Fang Xing's branch was not from the eldest family, so there was nothing special about it. At that time, Fang Xing came to the capital.  We have collected information on businessmen in the entire capital, and there are very few without background, and this Fang Xing is one of them." Chen Hong nodded vigorously and said in a firm voice.  Walking around the hall with his hands behind his back, Emperor Tianqi thought quietly for a long time before asking again: "Chen Hong, you just said that the Fang family was in trouble. What kind of trouble was it?" "Your Majesty, there are merchants from the Ming Dynasty.  Many places have their own business associations. Fang Xing's family has ancestral weaving skills and exquisite craftsmanship, so business has been very good in recent years. However, Jiangnan merchants who also started their business in silk naturally cannot tolerate such things.  They joined forces to run against the Fang family. Some of the businessmen here have deep backgrounds and the Fang family cannot afford to offend them. They recently lost the lawsuit! The family is planning to sell the silk and satin workshop!" Chen Hong replied.  Walking slowly again, Emperor Tianqi said with a solemn face: "Who are the people who are running against the Fang family?" "Your Majesty, it is several Beijing-based silk and satin shops in the capital, as well as business associations in several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. These businesses  The structure of the association is very simple, centered on regions, but these people's business associations basically have the shadow of the nobles of the dynasty and the vassal kings from various places!" Chen Hong said respectfully as he looked at Emperor Tianqi carefully.  After pondering for a long time, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "Let's get in touch today! When this matter is completed, I will use him!" "Yes, Your Majesty, the minister will go in person!" He gave a salute to Emperor Tianqi,  Chen Hong bowed and retreated.  Seeing Chen Hong's leaving figure, Emperor Tianqi smiled coldly and whispered: "They are all rich people, but I am a poor person. I will also be a rich person this time!" The Fang family's house is located in Beijing.  To the east of the city is a large house with three entrances and three exits, which shows the wealth of the Fang family.  However, the Fang family, which used to be wealthy, is now a bit dilapidated. The front door is bare and the door is closed.  The inner house of the Fang family was also filled with sadness at this time. The head of the family, Fang Xing, was sitting on a chair with a sad look on his face. On the other side was Mrs. Fang.  The two sons were also sitting in the room, and Fang Fei, the eldest daughter of the Fang family who usually never left the house, was also present.  Sighing deeply, Fang Xing said to the housekeeper on the side: "How is it? Is there still no one to buy?" "Master, these people are avoiding us now! Don't say they are coming to buy our shop, as long as  As soon as I came to the door, no one was there!" Old housekeeper Fang Fu sighed and said with a dejected look.  Slapping the table hard, Fang Xing said loudly: "These people want to drive us to a dead end! They want our Fang family's weaving skills, these people are going too far!" "Dad, where is Shuntian Mansion?  He is obviously colluding with them. There must be good officials in this city of Beijing. Why don't we go out and find out and then file a complaint?" Fang Xing's eldest son Fang Hua is thirty years old and has a wife.  a son.  Fang Hua is usually very steady and has a very upright demeanor.  "Dad, if you want me to see it, we should hit the Jingyang Bell and file a lawsuit!"Yanyan seemed to be unable to stand it any longer and said loudly.  Fang Yan is the second son of the Fang family. Compared with his brother Fang Hua, Fang Yan can be described as incompetent.  However, because of his tutor, he is still a good person, but he can only be said to be young and frivolous.  Fang Xing shook his head with a wry smile, and looked at his daughter aside. Among his three children, Fang Hua was honest, honest, and well-behaved. He was a very good successor.  Fang Yan is young and frivolous, and does not know the depth of things. But the one who can help at this time is Fang Xing's daughter Fang Fei.  Although she is a girl, Fang Fei likes to read books like Sun Tzu's Art of War and Guiguzi. Naturally, she is the only one who can help at this time.  "Fei'er, what can you do?" Fang Xing said expectantly as he looked at his daughter.  Frowning slightly, Fang Fei pondered for a long time before sighing and saying: "Although Big Brother's method is feasible, we are not familiar with the officials in the capital. Although we can do this, life or death is unpredictable. Even if we come forward now, we are not familiar with it.  They are businessmen, but the identity of the people behind them must not be simple. If we really do this, it is a matter of whether any officials dare to take care of it. Compared with the eldest brother's statement, I prefer the second brother's statement. "See Fang Yanyi.  With a proud look on her face, Fang Fei smiled and said, "But that's the last resort! We haven't reached that point yet!" "Fei'er, do you have any good ideas?" Seeing his daughter say this, Fang Xing suddenly felt confused.  Lu was happy and asked eagerly.  Shaking her head with a wry smile, Fang Fei said hesitantly: "Father, things are not that simple. These people want money and power, and we can't fight them. Now we have only two ways, one is to take our  If you hand over the craftsmanship, these people will let it go after they get it, but the possibility of these people eradicating the roots is not ruled out. The second is to find a powerful person. This person must not be afraid of these people, and our Fang family will join them!  It¡¯s just that it¡¯s hard to find such a family in the capital. The worst is probably the palace, and this prince is also powerful!¡± After hearing Fang Fei¡¯s words, Fang Xing sat down on the chair again, what is going on!  He slapped his forehead hard and said painfully: "What the hell is this! Is it really that difficult to be a serious businessman?" When the Fang family was at a loss, a group of people came to the door of the Fang family.  , more than twenty guards protected a little pride.  Each of these guards is very strong, each carries a knife on his back, and the leader rides a horse.  Walking around the capital with such ostentation, one could tell at a glance that his identity must be extraordinary.  Arriving at the door of Fang's house, the leader got off his horse, came to Jiaozi's side, and said softly: "Master, we're here!" "Go up and knock on the door, Yajiao!" The man inside Jiaozi ordered softly, and then  No sound.  The leader replied respectfully, then strode to the door of Fang's house and slapped the door knocker hard.  Not long after, a voice came from inside, "Be gentle, we're coming!" With a sound, the door opened. When he saw the people outside, the gatekeeper was stunned and said hesitantly:  "Who are you? What's the matter?" "When you go in and report, tell us that our master is a noble man, and ask your master to come out to greet you!" The leading man spoke very rudely and arrogantly.  "Just say I'm here to buy a silk and satin shop!" As soon as the leader finished speaking, a voice sounded from behind, an old voice.  After hearing this voice, the leader quickly turned around, bowed and said respectfully: "Yes, sir!" The gatekeeper couldn't help but look at the people behind him. He was an old man in his fifties, with  The clothes are very expensive.  He looks a little strange with a wisp of beard, but his eyes are so sharp that people dare not look at him.  "Wait a moment, the little one will go in and report!" The gatekeeper did not dare to delay too much, and rushed in to report!  In the hall of the Fang family, the Fang family was still frowning. At this moment, the housekeeper ran in quickly and said with excitement: "Master, there is a man outside, saying his surname is Chen, and he is here to buy our store.  And the workshop!" "What! Please come in, no, I will invite you personally!" Fang Xing stood up suddenly and walked outside quickly.  Not long after, people outside came to the Fang family's hall. After the guests and hosts were seated, the old man said to the guard leader with a stern face: "You guys stay outside and don't want anyone to disturb us!" "Yes, sir!" the leader said respectfully.  After a salute, he said in a deep voice, and then turned around and went out.  After looking around the room, the old man said in a deep voice: "Mr. Fang, I came here with sincerity. Isn't there something wrong with someone eavesdropping on our discussion here?" As he said this, the old man pointed behind him.  Behind the screen"Come out here!" Fang Xing seemed a little embarrassed and said loudly.  As soon as he finished speaking, three people walked out from behind the screen. They were Fang Xing's two sons and his daughter Fang Fei.  The three of them lowered their heads, no one dared to look at Fang Xing.  (To be continued.
