He looked at Zhu Hao with a slightly strange look in his eyes, as if he was saying, you are a very capable person! Are you still contributing to local business and people's livelihood?
You are so capable, you can fly to the sky with your wings spread out!
But the meaning behind Zhu Hao's words made Tang Yin understand that Zhu Hao had guessed correctly.
In the past two months, the biggest change in Anlu Prefecture has been the frequent occurrence of local robberies. The prefecture and county yamen have organized manpower to clean up, but it seems that the results are not very significant. There are incidents of bandits robbing property and people. It happened, so that the people and merchants in the city were in danger, and prices soared.
Zhu Hao took his books and left the school.
Several children asked him to stay and play together, but Zhu Hao insisted on going back to prepare, and Zhu Si also spoke for Zhu Hao, so no one tried to persuade him to stay.
Zhu Hao really had to prepare for his return home tomorrow. He seemed to have nothing to do during his time in the palace, but he had been bored for too long. He would probably face coercion from the Zhu family when he returned. It was time to test the quality of a time traveler.
…
…
Early the next morning.
Zhu Wanjian drank until midnight and fell asleep in his room. He was woken up by Butler Liu who forced his way into the room.
Zhu Wanjian had a bad attitude. After hearing Butler Liu explain his intention clearly, he became even more furious: "To bring a child home, do you need me to take action? Aren't you the number one capable person under the old lady? This kind of thing requires someone else's help?"
Housekeeper Liu was confused: "Second Master, the old lady personally explained the matter. I didn't want to disturb you, but there are always Mrs. Zhu and the young master over there, and they are modest women. If there is a disagreement, we need to take action..."
"Do it?"
Zhu Wanjian's mind became clearer.
"Yes, Second Master, isn't this your strength?"
Butler Liu really came to ask Zhu Wanjian for help this time.
Zhu Hao had a special status, and even the palace was on guard, so Zhu Hao did not return home for a long time.
Now that the Zhu family knows that Sun Hao is coming back, picking people up in the past is more like robbing them. No matter how capable Butler Liu is, he is still a servant, but the down-and-out third house is the master.
How can the servants take my young master back?
Of course Zhu Wanjian has to do the bad things!
As it happens, Zhu Wanjian likes to do bad things the most, so much so that when he heard that he was going to rob people, his eyes almost turned green.
"Let's pack up and go together. This time I must let that aunt know how powerful I am!" Zhu Wanjian got up and packed his things with a fierce expression.
…
…
at the same time.
The carriage taking Zhu Hao home stopped at the entrance of the courtyard where Zhu Niang rented.
Zhu Hao got off the carriage and looked at Lu Song who had accompanied him back with a smile: "Lu Dianzhan, if you're sorry, I won't invite you to sit in, but you may... have to wait here."
Lu Song smiled and nodded.
There were all orphans and widows inside, and Zhu Hao's mother was a virtuous woman. It was naturally inconvenient for a grown man to go in. He knew exactly what he was here for.
Before Zhu Hao came in, Yu San came out from the next door yard, with some big and thick men behind him.
"They..." Lu Song saw something was wrong and hurried over to greet him, but after all, he was only one person, and it was not easy to deal with too many people at one time.
Zhu Hao quickly stretched out his hand to stop both parties: "Don't be nervous, Lu Dianzhan, he's mine... I'm not at home, so I always need someone to support me at home, right?"
Yu San approached and saluted Lu Song: "Lu Dianzhan is a small one."
Lu Song felt relieved and said with a smile, "It's Yu San."
"Yes Yes."
Yu San felt very honored that a dignified official from the royal palace and a high-ranking military attaché from the imperial court actually recognized him, and that he had gained face in front of the brothers he had brought.
Zhu Hao said: "I'll go in first to see my mother. If anyone comes, just stop them."
Zhu Hao went over and knocked on the door.
It was the courtyard gate opened by Xiaobai.
After all, Xiaobai didn't know about the intrigues within the Zhu family. When he saw a group of grown men outside, he was very nervous. He immediately took Zhu Hao into the yard and wanted to close the door, but Zhu Hao stopped him.
"Keep the door open, let people know I'm back...otherwise this ordinary life will be boring." Zhu Hao said with a smile.
Xiaobai didn't understand Zhu Hao's words, so he could only take Zhu Hao into the house as he was told.
in the room.
Zhu Niang and Aunt Li were both there, and Zhu Ting was sitting next to her, learning embroidery from Aunt Li. Compared to the past when Zhu Hao came back, the family seemed too plain this time.
"Xiao Hao, you shouldn't have come back. Your grandmother has sent people to inquire about your situation many times... If your grandmother knew you were home, she would definitely send someone to take you back..."
Zhu Niang looked sad, meaning she wanted to send her son back to Prince Xing's Mansion again, as if that was the only place where her son could be kept safe.
Zhu Hao smiled and said, "It's okay, mother. Aren't Yu San and the others there outside? There's also Lu Dianzhan from the palace."
"ah!?"
Zhu Niang hurriedly looked at the door. Sure enough, there were many people. She hurriedly asked, "Why don't you invite the guests in?"
Zhu Hao said mysteriously: "Lu Dianzhan sent me back mainly to help me get rid of the Zhu family... Now I wish the Zhu family would cause trouble for us. Oh, by the way, mother, my grandmother didn't say that she would take you in recently."
Let's go back to Zhu's house? Yu San and his people can always protect the yard."
Zhu Haoren is in the palace and is not isolated from the outside world.
There is no need to bother Tang Yin, Lu Song alone is enough to help Zhu Hao complete the exchange of information inside and outside the palace gate.
Zhu Hao was afraid that his family would use him, and of course he wanted to prevent Zhu Niang from being kidnapped by the Zhu Jia family, so he asked Lu Song to inform Yu San a long time ago, and asked Yu San to recruit more than 20 men, rent out the surrounding courtyard, and take turns working day and night.
Defense is to prevent Zhu Niang from being taken back as a hostage by the Zhu family and force her to submit.
But now it seems that Mr. Zhu Jia is very "merciful" and has not taken the road to a dead end.
"Your grandmother only said that when you come back, she will take you back to Zhuangzi and arrange for you to do something. Nothing else..." Zhu Niang was a little confused and felt that Zhu Hao had overreacted.
Zhu Hao smiled.
It turns out that it’s not that Zhu Jia didn’t take the road to the end, but that he was afraid of disturbing the situation!
If Zhu Niang was really captured by the Zhu family and the palace knew about it, would Zhu Hao still be able to gain the trust of everyone in the palace?
Moreover, the old lady probably looked down upon him a little, thinking that as long as Zhu Hao came back and took the grandson back, and coerced him, Zhu Niang and Zhu Hao would definitely give in.
In this way, there is no need to take any harsh measures for the time being.
"I'm not looking for you. I'm just worried about my aunt and sister. I've eaten well and slept well in the palace recently. Mom, look at me. Have I gained weight?" Zhu Hao said with a smile.
Aunt Li rolled her eyes at Zhu Hao: "Thank you for having the thought to tease your mother, but I don't know that she has worried us recently and we are all planning to go out of town again."
…
…
The family is having fun.
We were supposed to have a meal together, but Zhu Wanjian and Butler Liu came over with their people.
"People inside, come out!"
When Zhu Wanjian saw the courtyard door open, he shouted loudly.
But no one came out, and a dozen burly men suddenly jumped out from all around, and immediately restrained Zhu Wanjian.
Apart from him and Butler Liu, Zhu Wanjian only had two temporarily transferred waiters from the shop, a drunkard, an old man and a weak man plus two young men. They faced more than a dozen strong men at the same time, and there were about ten people behind the big men as substitutes...
There is no way we can win this battle.
Lu Song was sitting on the carriage watching the excitement and did not come closer.
Zhu Hao had said hello in advance, so there was no need for him to take action until the critical moment.
"What do you want to do?"
Zhu Wanjian's tone became less arrogant, but still arrogant, "I am the son of a thousand households in Jinyiwei. If you dare to cause trouble, believe it or not, we will arrest you all and send you to the government?"
At this moment, Zhu Hao's cheerful voice came from the yard: "Hey, isn't this the second uncle? I haven't seen you for a long time, and the second uncle is still so strong? Why is it so early in the morning that you are angry with my nursing home? Third brother, Don’t you recognize that this is my second uncle? How can you be rude to my second uncle?”
Zhu Wanjian and Butler Liu were both startled, and Zhu Wanjian blurted out: "Guarding the hospital?"
Weren't the orphans and widows of this family used to be poor and crazy? Even their own land and house have been returned to the Zhu family, and they still have money to hire a nursing home? They hired so many people back in one breath, how much does it cost in wages alone every month? That's not right. Ah, why did he hire so many nursing homes? It’s not specifically for the Zhu family, right?
At this time, all the owners of the small courtyard came to the door to welcome him.
When Butler Liu saw Zhu Niang, he was afraid that things would get worse, so he stepped forward and greeted politely: "Third Madam, I came here on the order of the old lady to invite Master Hao to go home, so I won't disturb you further."
After saying that, he was about to go up and grab Zhu Hao's arm, but Zhu Hao avoided it easily.
"Steward Liu, what do you want to do?"
Zhu Hao asked curiously.
Butler Liu had a smile on his face: "Master Hao, the old lady is waiting for you at home. She said she has something to discuss."
Zhu Hao frowned: "When I entered the palace a year ago, I often discussed some matters with my grandmother. But when I return to the palace after the year, haven't I already determined that I don't need to do anything for the family?
"In this case, why should I go back to Zhu's house? I can just explain it here if I have anything to do. Why don't you inform grandma that I'm back and ask her to come over in person?"
"Hey!"
When Zhu Wanjian heard this, he became furious, "You kid, how dare you open a dyeing room if you give me some color? I don't have to beat you with a stick today until you cry for father and mother. Just don't have the fucking surname of Zhu!"
Zhu Wanjian immediately picked up the horse whip on the carriage and was about to greet Zhu Hao, but Lu Song rushed over and grabbed his arm.
Zhu Wanjian's arm was pinched, and he struggled hard, but found that the other person's hand was like a steel hoop, and he could not move his hand at all.
Next to him, Butler Liu quickly pulled the clothes of the impulsive second master, winked, and reminded Zhu Wanjian, take a good look, he has a knife on his waist, we can't afford to offend him.
When Zhu Wanjian saw the sword on Lu Song's waist, his tone became a little softer, and he shouted: "Who are you? My father is Zhu Qianhu, the Jinyiwei. I am teaching my nephew... His father died early, and the elders will take his place. Teach me a lesson, who are you to dare to stand up and stop me?"
