Chapter 520: Door-to-door questioning!
"I just wanted to look at it, but I didn't say I want it!" Zhu Jun waved his hand repeatedly, pulling Qinghe and walking out, "If you want me to talk about some silk and satin, you are overthinking it. I have already given you the opportunity.
, it’s because you don’t cherish it!”
Shen Dabao quickly grabbed Zhu Jun and said, "My good brother, don't leave yet. These silks and satins are my brother's wishes. You must accept them!"
"Yes, Brother Zhu, if you still treat us as brothers, don't be polite."
Then he said to the shopkeeper: "Add it twice as much, and send it to Prince Wu's Mansion immediately, and the account will be charged to me!"
"What are you two doing?" Zhu Jun smiled secretly in his heart, but said on his face: "bribe me?"
"How can we call it bribery when there is a favor between brothers?" Shen Dabao said.
"This is the best testimony of our brotherhood!" Cai Guan and Zhu Jun pushed Zhu Jun towards the Treasure Building. "Brothers made a mistake just now. I will toast you and apologize in a moment!"
"If you don't drink, I'm going back home." Zhu Jun refused to go either life or death.
At this time, the two of them were even more murmuring.
In the past, Zhu Jun's eyes would light up when he heard about drinking.
Now I can't avoid it.
Is it possible that something big is really going to happen?
Let this lunatic, who is not afraid of anything, have to live alone?
"Sixth Master, for the sake of our long-standing brotherhood, if we have anything to say, let's go back to Jubao Tower first!" Cai Guandao.
"Yes, Mr. Liu!" Shen Dabao said: "When the time comes, I will give you my red general!"
General Red was a big red rooster he raised. He had won many battles. Zhu Jun used to be the most greedy.
"Seriously?" Zhu Jun's eyes lit up and he hesitated, "Forget it, I'd better go back home..."
"I will send someone to get the money now, and then send General Red here!" Shen Dabao also spent a lot of money.
"You don't believe it?"
"Trust, trust, trust!" The two of them kept nodding, "Let's talk about it after we go back first!"
Zhu Jun sighed, "Forget it, for the sake of our past friendship, let's talk about it after we go back!"
The two looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
Back at the Jubao Tower, the two of them gathered next to Zhu Jun and said, "Sixth Master, just give me some advice."
Zhu Jun drank tea and did not speak at first. It was not until the red general and the silver were placed in front of him that he sighed: "Okay, don't rush me. I have been thinking about what to say.
Well, let me talk about the Dabao family first!"
"Say!" Shen Dabao approached Zhu Jun.
"What I'm going to say next is just hearsay. Don't ask me where I heard it. I can't tell you.
Having said that, I, too, will be unlucky. If it weren’t for our brotherhood, I would never have taken the risk."
Zhu Jun said: "Aren't your Shen family helping the imperial court build the Yingtian City Wall?"
"Yes, is there a problem?" Shen Dabao frowned and said, "My father has agreed with His Majesty that one-third of the city wall in Yingtian will be built, and it will be completed soon."
"Hey, your Shen family is going to be in big trouble!" Zhu Jun said: "The city wall built under the supervision of my father has not yet been completed, but the city wall built by your Shen family is already about to be completed.
Both the construction speed and the materials used even exceeded those built by the imperial court.
Where do you want my father to put his face?"
Shen Dabao was stunned.
Immediately, Zhu Jun continued: "Your father is also a patriotic businessman and funded the construction of the city wall for the imperial court. This is a good thing.
It's a pity that your father made a bet with my royal father back then.
Bet on whose city wall can be built well or quickly.
Your father is very competitive, but little does he know that this is a way to die!"
When Shen Dabao heard this, his forehead was already covered with cold sweat.
Zhu Jun hooked his neck, put his mouth to his ear, and whispered in a low voice: "Think about my father, who loves his people like a son, but hates profiteers the most. He has been skinned over the years.
Are there still many profiteers who fill the grass?
Could it be that your father thinks his life is too long?
Let alone winning or losing, how can anyone dare to defeat His Majesty? Aren't you an old man who has hanged himself and is looking for death?
Moreover, this is not the only thing your Shen family has committed to commit suicide, so think about you!"
Zhu Jun pushed Shen Dabao away, and Shen Dabao sat down on the recliner beside him, his face bloodless.
Cai Guan also didn't hear clearly what Zhu Jun was whispering to Shen Dabao just now.
But seeing the scared look on Shen Dabao's face, his heart sank, "Liu, Mr. Liu, what did you say to Dabao?"
"Don't worry about what you say. I'll talk about your family's affairs now." Zhu Jun looked at Cai Guan with a look of regret on his face.
Cai Guan actually saw compassion in Zhu Jun's eyes.
Why should he, a lunatic, pity himself?
Zhu Jun stood up, hooked Cai Guan's shoulders, walked aside, and whispered: "I just told you about the Shen family building the city wall, and your Cai family can't escape the same relationship!
It’s a pity that Cai Shangshu is also a good official, I’m afraid he’s not far away from retiring!”
"Sixth Master, please stop scaring me."
"Scare you?"
Zhu Jun snorted, "The city wall built by Shen Wanqian is about to be completed, but the wall built by your father is far from complete.
Not only is the construction quality not as good as the Shen family, but even the speed cannot keep up.
Is the imperial court worse than the Shen family?
Don't tell me that your father didn't line his own pockets, I don't believe it!"
"No, my father definitely didn't greedy for a penny..."
"No shit, you can just lie to others with your words, but when the winning or losing result comes out, my father will be furious and he will definitely be held accountable.
Maybe we'll have to ask someone to get to the bottom of it.
The law of Daye makes it very clear that anyone who embezzles a single tael of silver will be dismissed and investigated.
He was greedy for ten taels of silver and ransacked his house.
For more than ten taels of silver, you have to think clearly.
What will be the consequences of losing my father's face? My father hates corrupt officials the most.
When I start using my hands, I don’t care who you are!"
Cai Guan's back was soaked with cold sweat. Emperor Daye was indeed very strict. In recent years, countless corrupt officials have been beheaded and their homes confiscated.
Zhu Jun is just a lunatic. How could he know this? He must have heard what others said.
Then he came over to report the news.
However, Zhu Jun had no idea about money and was not a greedy person.
He asked for ten thousand taels, maybe... there was someone behind him!
Yes, someone must have instructed him to do this behind his back?
So who is it?
Cai Guan couldn't help but think of that majestic figure. For a moment, he was panting like an ox, sweating profusely, and even his feet were so weak that he couldn't stand upright.
Reminiscent of Zhu Jun's silence, could it be intentional?
It doesn’t have to be that person who told Zhu Jun, maybe he was talking to someone else and Zhu Jun accidentally heard it.
Then use Zhu Jun's words to beat them.
Cai Guan's heart was filled with mixed feelings, fear and panic took over his heart.
