Chapter 128 The boss behind the scenes
Zhu Ye heard the movement in the room as soon as he entered the door and knew that the only people who could stay at home at this time were Hu Keer and his grandfather.
It was getting late, and Hu Ke'er could not stay here for so long, so the only person in the room was his grandfather.
"Grandpa, why do you still have such a big temper when you get home?"
Zhu Ye entered the house and quietly picked up the teacup on the ground.
"These idiots actually fill our pockets under our noses."
Zhu Yuanzhang threw the booklet in his hand to Zhu Ye in a furious manner.
Zhu Ye opened it and found that what was recorded above was the boss of Yipin Building investigated by Jinyiwei.
"Grandpa is still trying to stop this."
After reading the memorial, Zhu Yuanzhang put it away and delivered it to the table in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
As stated in the memorial, the owner behind Yipinlou was actually Tian Ren.
When Zhu Ye remembered Tian Ren's fat face, he had no favoritism at all.
Looking at his well-behaved grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang's anger dissipated: "It's not that we're holding them, it's clearly that they are asking for trouble."
"This Tian Ren, an official in the current dynasty, actually dared to run a restaurant privately."
"If we don't check it, we won't know that this dog is so brave that he can make profits in private."
Since Zhu Yuanzhang came to court, he has explicitly forbidden officials in the court to make profits privately.
Because what he most taboo is to form cliques and make private contributions to officials.
None of them, like Hu Weiyong and others, are good at making profits in private and consolidating their pockets, but also using the profits to gather private parties.
Although Tian Ren was just the director of the Guangchu Department and had no real power, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that the backer behind him was Zhou Dexing.
Therefore, Zhu Ye couldn't see what was inside and thought it was just a trivial matter.
But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think so.
Although Zhou Dexing has not much contact with the East Palace, he basically has no connection.
But the fact that Zhou Dexing was a distant relative of the Lü family was for sure.
Zhu Yuanzhang had to be on guard.
If it were before, when he intended to make Zhu Yunwen the crown prince, Zhou Dexing would move casually under his nose, and Zhu Yuanzhang could pretend to be invisible.
But now it won't work, he has to clear any obstacles for Zhu Ye.
It is even more impossible to allow these clowns to do anything wrong.
Although the purpose and purpose of Tian Ren running the Yipin Building have not been found yet.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was inevitably nailed to his heart. Although this thorn was life-threatening, it kept Zhu Yuanzhang paying attention at all times.
"You think this is very simple because you only see the surface."
Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly as he looked at his sometimes stupid grandson.
"The person standing behind Tian Ren is actually Zhou Dexing, a Jiangxia waiting for Zhou Dexing."
"Although there is no evidence to prove what the relationship between Zhou Dexing and Yipinlou is, the Jinyiwei has found out that Tian Ren and Zhou Dexing have had money exchanges behind their backs."
"It's just because it's just a small amount of money exchange, so the emperor did not pursue it."
"But now it's found out that the boss behind Yipinlou is actually Tian Ren."
“Things are different.”
Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately said halfway and stopped to look at Zhu Ye.
Zhu Ye listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, thought about it carefully, and then said, "Because Yipinlou's consumption is not low."
"If these money earned is in Tian Ren's pocket, it would be fine if it is not in Tian Ren's pocket."
"That means that Tian Ren has paid tribute to Zhou Dexing."
"But the Jinyiwei did not find the large-scale money transaction between Tian Ren and Zhou Dexing."
"This means...there is a ghost among them?"
Speaking of this, Zhu Ye was stunned.
It seemed that the relationship between Zhou Dexing and Zhu Yunwen was vaguely thought of.
If my memory is not wrong, Zhou Dexing is indeed Zhu Yunwen's follower of the Dragon.
After Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, Zhou Dexing benefited a lot.
So... Tian Ren's funds were so large that they flowed to Zhou Dexing... In fact, they just flowed to Zhu Yunwen's pocket.
So, the Jinyiwei couldn't find out...that's right.
If the Jinyiwei can find out, it is probably not only Tian Ren and Zhou Dexing, but even the future crown prince will be implicated.
Zhu Ye stopped himself in time, and he couldn't continue to say this.
Otherwise, my grandfather would really be stabbed to Zhu Yuanzhang when he heard it.
I am afraid that the historical direction of the entire Ming Dynasty will change because of one word.
"Maybe, this money is indeed in Tian Ren's pocket.
If the emperor doesn’t investigate, he can’t be wronged by others for nothing, right?”
Zhu Ye didn't believe what he said, and of course he didn't have the confidence to say it.
"Of course, we have to investigate, not only we have to investigate, but also to search the house."
Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned pale.
"Grandpa, don't be as good as them. The emperor will definitely leave this matter to the Jinyiwei to investigate thoroughly. Grandpa, don't worry."
"Come on, have some tea, and lose the anger."
Zhu Ye stepped forward and poured a cup of tea for Zhu Yuanzhang, and then kneaded his grandfather's shoulders.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that this was not a matter of rush, so he could only close his eyes and calm his anger.
Zhu Ye's ancestral craft was passed down, and in a short while Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down his anger.
After drinking a sip of tea, Zhu Yuanzhang remembered and asked Zhu Ye: "Boy, where did this tea come from? We haven't even drunk it."
"Haha, grandpa, this is the medicinal tea I made myself. Drinking too much can strengthen your body and help you sleep."
"If grandpa likes it, let Brother Jiang bring some when he leaves and go back to drink if he has nothing to do."
Zhu Ye greeted his grandfather enthusiastically.
"You guys always make some rare things, and this herb can also be made into tea?
This is the first time we heard about it.”
“Since you said it is good for your health, let’s take some away and drink it.
I just happened to be tired recently. I'm old and can't bear it."
