Chapter 190: Great Greed(2/2)
Immediately afterwards, someone shouted, "It's all like this, and I'm still talking to him. Is it your share?"
"You...hum, you guys are not good at making plans!"
"What did he say?"
"He seems to be scolding us..."
"Damn, who are you scolding?"
Those scholars have already felt very happy when they see that the situation is not good.
Zhu Ji handed all the gold and silver to the treasury as much as possible, then sorted out a memorial, and before sending it to Nanjing, he came to Wenhua Hall and submitted it to Zhu Qiyu.
Zhu Qiyu also sighed. He saw with his own eyes that Gao Gu's home was very simple and all the furniture seemed dilapidated.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say, "How did he do it, while being honest and restraining countless wealth?"
Zhu Ji thought about it and said slowly: "I think that the more greedy a person is, the more he cares about these false names."
Zhu Qiyu shook his head and sighed, saying, "I almost misunderstood the Jinyiwei. I really didn't expect that the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet was such a person. Could it be that my Ming Dynasty officialdom is really as the Gao brothers said, and that all officials are corrupt?"
Zhu Ji replied: "Have you ever thought about Gao Gu's greed, why no one has noticed it? Over the years, everyone has praised him for his integrity. What is the reason?"
Zhu Qiyu was stunned and asked, "Is it because he is hiding deep enough?"
Zhu Ji shook his head and said, "No matter how deep he is, he will always be noticed for decades. Whenever there are any clues, Jinyiwei and Dongchang will intervene. Therefore, the officials thought that most of the time he was on weekdays."
Zhu Qiyu was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"
"The officials thought that almost the vast majority of people who came to give money on weekdays would not accept it. Perhaps... he only accepted gifts from a very small number of people."
Zhu Qiyu said in surprise: "More than five million taels, is it just a small part?"
Zhu Ji continued: "This is just the inference of the officials. Since the factory guards have never noticed it, the only possibility is that he is honest most of the time. There must be very few people who truly bring benefits to him and who are willing to accept it."
Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but take a breath.

Chapter 190
If this tall hub is greedy and greedy, he will not be shocked when he sees money.
Because, the fact is right in front of you, there is indeed so much gold and silver piled up here.
Even if he charges one thousand people and ten thousand people, it makes sense.
But if you only charge a few people, you can get more than 5 million taels of silver, which is really terrible!
Since these people are willing to give more than 5 million taels of gifts, you can imagine how much benefit is involved in this?
Zhu Qiyu stood up, frowned, walked back and forth with her hands behind her back.
"Who has so much money? And why do they pay such a great price?"
Zhu Ji replied: "These people cannot get up early without profit. The benefits they want to make must be far more than a few million taels of silver, and even... they may have bribed Gao Gu!"
