    After hearing Chen Fangfang's words, Emperor Tianqi was slightly startled. He did not expect that he was actually related to the salt merchant.  It seems that there is something unknown here!  Nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "Speak slowly and tell everything once!" "Yes, Young Master!" Chen Fangfang gently supported her, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said softly:  "My father, Ren Bonian, is a well-known good man in Yangzhou City. My sister and I were adopted by my father. I was just eight years old that year and my sister was only three years old. There was a flood in my hometown. Both my parents died at that time.  Later, it was my father who adopted us." Emperor Tianqi was slightly startled. He thought he was the biological father of the two sisters, but he didn't expect that he was adopted.  Emperor Tianqi was willing to believe that a person who could adopt orphans was a good person.  However, there are always exceptions. There are not many good businessmen in this era.  Slowly nodding, Emperor Tianqi said softly: "Go on!" "Yes, Young Master!" Chen Fangfang nodded slowly, trying hard to keep her voice from trembling, and said: "My father's ancestors were salt merchants in Yangzhou.  The family has 50,000 yuan of salt passed down from ancestors, which was the reason why my father left home.  Although he is not rich in Yangzhou city, he still has enough food and clothing.  Three months ago, I took my sister to a temple fair. If we had not gone, my father might not have had this outrageous event.  "When she said this, Chen Fangfang showed deep resentment on her face, and there was anger in her eyes. Yuan Keli on the side sighed softly, beauty is a disaster, it has been like this since ancient times! It is not a good thing for a girl to be too beautiful. "  That day we met the son of the Li Chang family, a big salt merchant in the city. He was a merchant, and my father's salt business was managed by the Li family.  After we met that day, Mr. Li came up to talk to me, but he was blocked by his servants.  Three days later, the Li family sent someone to propose marriage, but she was just a fifth concubine for the eldest son of the Li family.  "Chen Fangfang lowered her head. Her eye circles were red. She sighed in her heart. Although Emperor Tianqi felt that the plot was a bit clich¨¦, such things are too common in this era. However, he originally thought that it was the officials who bullied men and dominated women.  He is actually a salt merchant now, which is really unexpected. ¡°How shameless!  A mere merchant's house actually behaves like this.  They all should be punished!  "Emperor Tianqi didn't say anything, but Yuan Keli on the side stood up and yelled loudly. Perhaps because he was too excited, his beard was pouty. Looking at Yuan Keli, Chen Fangfang's face was full of astonishment. If  He wouldn't be surprised if it was Emperor Tianqi who lost his temper. After all, Emperor Tianqi looked like a rich man who had never experienced anything in the world. Yuan Keli looked like an old man who had experienced many vicissitudes of life. How could he make such a fuss?  After smiling, Emperor Tianqi ignored Yuan Keli and said to Chen Fangfang on the side: "Go on!  " "Yes, Master!  Nodding slightly, Chen Fangfang continued: "Of course my father would not agree to such a marriage, so he naturally refused."  Although he was a little worried, nothing happened and his father breathed a sigh of relief.  A month later, a good friend of my father approached me and made an appointment to go on a salt hunt with my father.  The family's 50,000 yuan of salt is still short of 20,000 yuan this year.  My father didn't think anything was wrong, so he went together.  But after half a month.  My father was found to be selling smuggled salt and was thrown into prison.  " Emperor Tianqi glanced at Yuan Keli, with a solemn look on his face. The matter was already very clear. The crime of selling smuggled salt was not a small one. It would be difficult for Ren Bonian to get out if he went in like this. "Later, the house was ransacked, and his father and mother were ransacked.  My brother and I were all imprisoned.  The government said we were not from the Ren family.  So we got away with it.  My sister and I are planning to go to Nanjing to file a complaint. Even if we go to beat the drum, we have to redress our father's grievances.  But before we could, someone caught me and I was sold to a brothel.  "After saying this, Chen Fangfang couldn't speak anymore. She lowered her head and kept wiping the tears on her face. Looking back at the twin sisters behind her, Emperor Tianqi waved to them and said, "Send Miss Chen off.  rest!  Then he turned to Chen Fangfang and said, "Go and rest first!"  Now that we have encountered this matter, we will definitely take care of it!  " Hearing what Emperor Tianqi said, Chen Fangfang knelt down in front of Emperor Tianqi. Lihua said with rain: "If I can save my father, I am willing to work as a cow and horse for him to repay him for his great kindness!  " "Okay, let's go and rest first!  Let's discuss what to do!  " Wen Yan comforted Chen Fangfang for a few words, and Emperor Tianqi asked Chen Fangfang to go upstairs. There were only three Emperor Tianqi left in the hall. The expressions on the faces of the three people were very serious, and Emperor Tianqi's eyes were even more serious.  A bit chilling. ¡°These salt merchants are really lawless. They manipulated the salt tax and colluded with local officials to turn the good Jiangnan into a mess.  smuggling?. Mining, there is nothing this person dares not to do!  They have now become the worms of the country and have reached the point where they have to become political!  "Emperor Tianqi's eyes flashed with a compelling light, and he slowly sat on the chair. Dang Han sat quietly aside. Jin Yiwei knew something about the salt merchant, but they could only pretend not to know. Behind the salt merchant  It¡¯s the entire Jiangnan officialdom, and even the dignitaries of Nanjing, the royal palace, and the Duke¡¯s palace are probably involved. Unless Emperor Tianqi makes up his mind, it¡¯s hard to do anything to them! ¡°Your Majesty, the salt merchants really have to move.  However, when we are in private, it will be very troublesome to do things.  We need a legitimate identity, and the emperor cannot reveal his identity.  I'm afraid things may be a little difficult!  "Yuan Keli looked at Emperor Tianqi with an unusually solemn expression. He didn't have a good impression of the salt merchants, but I'm afraid it wouldn't be that easy to do anything. " He smiled meaningfully, and Emperor Tianqi said playfully: "No.  Nothing is impossible as long as you really want to do it!  " Glancing at Dang Han on the side, Yuan Keli was a little confused, but Emperor Tianqi didn't mean to say anything, so Yuan Keli was naturally embarrassed to ask. " Okay, let's all go and rest!  Tomorrow morning we will go to the prison to see Ren Bonian. I am somewhat interested in this man.  " Emperor Tianqi and others went to rest, but in a manor outside Yangzhou City, the eldest son of the Li Mansion was furious. Mr. Li's name was Li Bo, and he was the scholar in Yangzhou last year, but he failed in the Jinshi examination. People who understand  I know that this candidate may not be very honorable. Mr. Li, who was usually gentle and elegant, now had a ferocious look on his face. He kicked the middle-aged man beside him and said loudly: "What are you doing for food?"  They are all idiots!  " "Sir, the old madam of Li Chun Courtyard has already said that she bought that woman with money.  This redemption is voluntary between you and me. Since you want it, you can pay first. It's too late to say this now!  "The middle-aged man had a bit of fear on his face. He stood up slowly and looked at Li Bo warily, fearing that he would kick him down. He picked up the tea bowl on the table and threw it to the ground.  , Li Bo's eyes were unusually angry, and he gasped: "Okay!  An old bustard dares to bully me, and he really treats himself as a person.  In this city of Yangzhou, anyone who offends me, Li Bo, will not end well!  " Standing aside timidly, the middle-aged man said with a trembling voice: "Master, naturally an old bustard would not dare to offend the master, but the people behind Lichun Courtyard are different.  " "What's different?  When I sold that little beauty, I told her to tell me after she was trained, and I would spend the money to buy her!  I promised well at the beginning, but now I have done something like this. I really don¡¯t take this young master seriously. I can¡¯t swallow this!  "Li Bo glared at the middle-aged man fiercely, but his tone of voice was much softer. He also knew that what the middle-aged man said was true. Li Bo knew very well in his heart that although his family had plenty of money, his status was  It's always worse. If his father hadn't sent money to others, I'm afraid his family would have been swallowed up long ago. However, Li Bo didn't belittle himself. He also knew the strength of his family. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy will never lead to defeat.  I'm afraid it's not that easy to convince Li Chun Yuan. There is a face issue involved. If he is convinced, then the person behind Li Chun Yuan will no longer have to hang out in Yangzhou City. Li Bo slowly sat on the chair and frowned.  Frowning and thinking, Li Chunyuan said nothing. The most important thing now is who robbed the little beauty. After looking at the middle-aged man, Li Bo said in a deep voice: "Go and have someone check it out."  We must find out who those people are!  " "Sir, what are those people doing?"  "The middle-aged man asked anxiously. In his opinion, the woman who was taken back was already someone's forbidden wife. It might not be that easy to get her back. "You know what the heck!  We don¡¯t know much about Ren Bonian yet. If anything goes wrong at this time, things will be in trouble!  Go quickly!  "Glancing at the middle-aged man fiercely, Li Bo scolded loudly. Frowning in thought, Li Bo kept thinking. Suddenly, a voice outside came to mind and said: "Not bad!  If I just looked in front of you, you would just eat and wait to die!  " Li Bo stood up suddenly, stood aside submissively, and said in a deep voice: "Dad!  " Gently opening the door, a man in his fifties walked in, wearing a silk gown, with his hands behind his back, looking at Li Bo with a smile. He walked to the main seat and sat down, and said to Li Bo on the side  :"sit down!  How many times have I told you to be steady when things happen? It depends on what you become!  " "My child has lost his temper, please punish me!"  "Li Bo no longer had the irritability he had just now. He looked calm and quiet, standing aside respectfully.
