Since Zhu Hao is ready to confront the Zhu family, of course he cannot be as low-key and forbearing as before. He must be tough when he needs to be tough.
To confront the Zhu family, they must build their own court and hire a large number of nursing homes, so that the Zhu family can do nothing. As for the moral hazard caused by this...
The Zhu family bullied the orphans and widowers of Sanfang for more than a day or two. Now that Sanfang has risen up to resist, the people, especially the neighbors who know this thoroughly, will definitely be happy to praise them.
At present, Zhu Hao has two cards to play behind him: Prince Xing's Palace and Su Xigui. As long as the Zhu family wants to keep a low profile in Anlu to investigate the Palace's intelligence, they will not be able to completely tear their skin apart.
Then Zhu Hao's idea of setting up his own business can be gradually realized.
Businessmen value profits, so Zhu Hao needs to use means to control Su Xigui, so that Su Xigui can provide help in the internal struggles of the Zhu family in case of business accidents.
Su Xigui had to think carefully about how much the good things Zhu Hao provided would cause him both economic and political losses due to the conflict between Prince Xing's Palace and the Zhu family, and the Zhu family's hijacking of Zhu Niang's mother and son.
Su Xigui is good at calculations, and of course he will be able to settle the account in the end. He suffered a defeat at Zhu Jia's side before, so he can't just ignore it both publicly and privately, right?
Furthermore, Zhu Hao still has a backup plan...
…
Two days of vacation will be over soon.
Zhu Hao left home on the afternoon of the last day of vacation. Since he was escorted back to the palace by three people, he also went to the theater troupe.
"Brother Hao, didn't you say that you want to supply goods to others? You haven't supplied them yet. You went into the palace and started urging me there... I'm afraid that my wife won't be able to handle it." Yu San was very worried.
Zhu Hao received the payment for the goods, but now the shadow of the goods is still visible and he wants to return to the palace?
This is not taking Su Xigui seriously at all!
Zhu Haodao: "I have been locked up in the palace for more than a month. Now I finally get out. How can I supply him with goods so quickly? I will take the time to do it next, and let Dongzhu Su know that doing business with me is a good idea.
Not only must we ensure the safety of our family, but we must also ensure my personal freedom...Family disputes, civil strife, etc. are unavoidable, otherwise how can I have the time to give birth?"
Yu San's expression was very stiff.
He really wanted to ask, in that case, what does it mean if you take back the payment in advance? You can wait until the goods are delivered and then collect the money. Isn't this causing trouble for yourself?
"By the way, Third Brother, hurry up and recruit all the people. Arrange some people to wait at the west gate of the palace every day. As soon as I leave the palace, they have to escort me to the small workshop in the city. I am carrying thousands or tens of thousands of taels on my back now.
Money... I accepted Dongzhu Su's advance payment, so he would take my safety seriously..."
Hearing this, Yu San suddenly realized.
If Zhu Hao confiscates the payment, and something happens to happen, Su Xigui may have various considerations, and it is very likely that he will ignore it. Because Su Xigui will think, is the Zhu family taking Zhu Niang and her son back to get the formula? The big deal is for me.
Do business with the Zhu family from now on!
Maybe because the Zhu family doesn’t know the business, I can make a lot of money!
But Zhu Hao took the money... Is Su Xigui the one who can suffer a loss?
Someone must keep an eye on the palace and secretly protect Zhu Niang's family. It is precisely because of the deep ties of interests that Su Xigui's people will regard Zhu Hao's family affairs as their own.
…
…
Theater troupe residence.
Zhu Hao called all the backbones of the troupe over and told them about his idea of expanding the troupe, which was mainly to buy a few cheaper troupes from around Huguang and integrate them together.
In the future, I will not only sing in Anlu, but also tour in surrounding prefectures and counties, which will increase my reputation and increase everyone's income at the same time.
The song "Battle of Changsha" has been sung for some time. Recently, Zhu Hao has not composed a new play, and the number of audiences has dropped significantly. Zhu Hao discussed the idea of arranging a new play with the troupe.
Return to the palace.
When Lu Song heard that he was back, he took the initiative to visit him.
"Where is Mr. Jing..."
Lu Song looked around to make sure Jinghong wouldn't eavesdrop on their conversation.
Zhu Hao smiled and said, "I guess he won't be back until tomorrow morning."
Lu Song was relieved and looked Zhu Hao up and down: "Are you okay these two days?"
Zhu Hao nodded and looked at Lu Song with a softer look in his eyes: "Lu Dianzhan, thanks to you this time. If you hadn't come forward, I guess the Zhu family wouldn't have given up. If I were kidnapped by the family, I probably wouldn't be able to do anything."
You can study with peace of mind, but you can’t do business to make money to support your family..."
Lu Song looked indifferent: "It's good that everything is safe. In fact, the people in the palace don't want anything to happen to you. Mr. Lu came to see me yesterday and asked about your situation, and I told him the truth."
"You... told Mr. Lu what you went through when you went back with me yesterday?" Zhu Hao had a look of surprise on his face.
Lu Song nodded and admitted.
Zhu Hao sighed: "I didn't expect Mr. Lu to be so concerned about my affairs, but the problem is that not only can he not be able to help me, but he will sometimes hold me back."
Lu Song was puzzled: "Mr. Lu is very resourceful. Is there anything wrong with caring about you?"
"hehe."
Zhu Hao curled his lips, "The so-called strategy should be to see the situation clearly and take advantage of the situation... His strategy is to explore people's hearts and have a strong thirst for knowledge. Unfortunately, it is used in the wrong place... Oh, pretend I didn't say that."
Lu Song boasted that he had read books for several days, knew right from wrong, and understood reason. He could hear every word Zhu Hao said clearly, but he could not understand the whole meaning.
A child talks about heavenly scriptures in front of you. You clearly know that it contains profound meanings, but you don’t understand...
This kind of frustration is maddening.
What Zhu Hao wants to say is that Tang Yin has a good head and likes to find out, but the problem is that he puts all his thoughts into exploring "why Zhu Hao is so strong" and has not thought about how to make suggestions for Prince Xing's Mansion to deal with the current crisis.
"Lu Dianzhan came here to ask me what happened at home these two days, right?"
Zhu Hao put on an innocent smile that was harmless to humans and animals.
Lu Song didn't care to think about the implication of Zhu Hao's words, and said seriously: "If you are really used by the family, even if it is not convenient to tell the palace sometimes, you must make it clear to me, and I will try my best to help you solve the trouble... Even if
Even if I risk my life, I will help you, but you must not let down the trust that the palace has placed in you."
"good."
Zhu Hao understood that Lu Song was afraid that he would succumb to the family's power.
No matter how resourceful a child is, can he defeat that old fox of the Zhu family's old lady?
Lu Song did think so in the past, but now he feels that Zhu Hao seems to be able to deal with the Zhu family's affairs with ease, and maybe he is worrying too much.
…
…
Class the next day.
Everything was as usual, Zhu San and Zhu Si did not avoid Zhu Hao.
The palace provided a great guarantee for Zhu Si's safety. There were guards inside and outside the academy, and there were a large number of guards patrolling outside.
"Hey, Zhu Hao."
During the break, Zhu San and Zhu Si ran to Zhu Hao's desk.
Zhu San said, "Xiaosi and I met with our father yesterday, and after asking about it, we found out that it turns out that your uncle is intentionally doing harm to the palace... Your kid won't harm us, right?"
The people in the palace were not wary of Zhu Hao, but now two children actually questioned Zhu Hao.
Zhu Hao rolled his eyes and said: "I will, I want to stab you to death, why don't you run away quickly?"
"Pooh!"
Zhu San spat, "Can you speak?"
Zhu Si said helplessly: "Third sister, it seems that we spoke harshly first, and then Zhu Hao responded to us... If Zhu Hao had the intention to harm us, he could just stand by and watch when we were seriously ill, so why did he save us? And then... he
I didn’t save you once or twice.”
Zhu San stuck out his tongue: "He was saving you, not me. I didn't want to live or die, especially the time I fell into the pool..."
That's half the story.
When he fell into the water, Zhu San's condition was not very serious, but Zhu Si drowned and almost suffocated to death, all thanks to Zhu Hao's help.
As for rescuing people at the fire scene, Zhu San has nothing to do with it at all.
Even if Zhu Hao went to the palace to treat illness and save people at the beginning of the year, Zhu San's condition was much more stable than Zhu Si's. It seemed that everything was as Zhu San said, and the person Zhu Hao saved was Zhu Si and not her.
"Who is my uncle? I have little contact with him, so I don't know for sure. However, even if he intends to target the palace, it may be... each is his own master." Zhu Hao said calmly.
Zhu Si asked: "What does it mean to each have his own master?"
Jinghong came over: "What are you talking about?"
Zhu Hao ignored Jinghong's question and continued to explain to Zhu Si: "Everyone is their own master means that things do not distinguish between justice and evil, nor right or wrong, only the position... It's like killing a person, standing on the side of
From the victim's point of view, he naturally thinks that he does not deserve to die, but from the murderer's point of view, maybe he deserves to die?"
Zhu San said: "What nonsense? Why does it involve killing people?"
Zhu Si had a clear understanding: "Zhu Hao, do you want to say that killing me is definitely wrong from the standpoint of me and the palace, but in the eyes of some people in the court, it is not right.
What’s the right thing?”
Several children looked at Zhu Hao and Zhu Si as if they were sizing up monsters.
Kill people... Or kill children... Even make a dialectical point based on this... Are the two children discussing things that should be concerned about at this age?
"Um."
Zhu Hao nodded and agreed with Zhu Si's statement.
Zhu Si suddenly understood: "No wonder my mother told me to be careful about the people around me and not to venture out of the palace. I will not eat any of the food you two gave me, Zhu Hao and Jinghong, and I must always pay attention to whether there are any weapons hidden on you. I found out
If it's not right, run away immediately and ask the guards to subdue you!"
Jinghong was speechless for a while.
What does it have to do with me?
I came to the palace just to study, will it harm anyone?
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "The palace's teaching to you is correct. In this world, except for parents and close relatives, everyone else must be careful and vigilant, especially the emperor's family. Even brothers and sisters... cannot be trusted. Since ancient times, brothers and sisters have been everywhere.
, the royal family fights for the throne regardless of life and death. If you understand this, you will know that Prince Xing and the princess have high hopes for you."
