Zhu Wanhong shook his head. He was so drunk that he seemed to be delirious. He could hardly hold his tongue straight, but he still made a long speech: "Why do you have to be a low-class businessman in business? Guard nearly a thousand acres of land outside the city and collect rent. Isn’t it good to live a peaceful life?
"When you grow up, gain fame, and become worthy of your father, even if you are worthy of the Zhu family... the scandals of this generation of the Zhu family have nothing to do with you as a child!
"Listen to my uncle's advice and never take the old road of being a military household! Once you make a mistake, you will be doomed!"
It sounds like admonishment, but it is more like a threat, especially the sentence "guarding nearly a thousand acres of land outside the city". It is clearly telling Zhu Hao, don't think that I don't know that your mother and son have bought a lot of fields outside and want to hide it. Passing through Jinyiwei, I thought it was beautiful.
Tang Yin frowned and looked at Zhu Hao. He knew that Zhu Hao's family had land outside the city, but he didn't believe that he actually had so much land, a thousand acres, and he seemed to be a big landowner.
Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Uncle, why didn't I understand what you said? We also want to have a thousand acres of land, and we want to sit around doing nothing and just collect rent, but the problem is that the land belongs to the Zhu family, and It’s not ours.”
After someone exposes his background, he has to argue no matter what. This is what a child should look like. He is not really arguing with Zhu Wanhong, but just expressing an attitude.
So what if you know?
We have all separated from the Zhu family. Everyone in the city knows this. We can use 1,200 taels of money to redeem our late father's house, but we are not allowed to buy some land?
If you have the ability, you can deal with Su Xigui who is doing business with us!
"Zhu Hao, as an elder, I am not here to expose anything, but to remind you that merchants are by no means the right way... Think of it as an exchange. I have never mentioned your matter to my family, so you don't want to take me back. Tell your family about Anlu... There are thousands of dignified and well-dressed guards, and it's really shameless to be in such miserable condition! Come on, Zhu Hao, uncle, I'll give you a drink... It's a bowl."
Zhu Wanhong looked depressed.
If Zhu Hao hadn't known this guy was hiding something from the first moment he saw him, he might have been deceived by his superb acting skills.
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Uncle, I am still a child and I don't know how to drink."
Zhu Wanhong had already raised the wine bowl, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard this: "You have to learn to drink some, no matter which way you go in the future, how can you do it if you don't know how to drink? Wine is the most important thing for you in life... …You don’t have to read books, but you must drink wine.”
The elders take their juniors to drink, and they talk about the truth one after another. It's really a drunkard who doesn't know how to be shameless. Do you still want to be shameless?
Tang Yin said: "Zhu Qianhu, let me drink with you."
Zhu Wanhong looked sideways, with a stiff smile on his face: "Tang... Mr. Lu, you are a tutor in the palace, it is really an iron rice bowl... Oh no, it is a golden rice bowl. If you have the opportunity to go out for a drink with me in the future, Let’s chat and feel frustrated in life. Only this cup of food can relieve our worries.”
Zhu Wanhong picked up the bowl and drank the remaining few mouthfuls.
Tang Yin's expression suddenly turned solid.
That title seemed to be a slip of the tongue, but it was clearly telling Tang Yin, don't think that I don't know your true identity, you'd better listen to me, come and get together with me when you have nothing to do, and chat about home affairs, otherwise I will take your Find out your identity and see if the people in Prince Ning's Mansion will let you go.
"Let's go, let's go. We are in the world of mortals. Don't be too troublesome. Every day of your life will become less and less..."
At this point, Zhu Wanhong had achieved all his goals. He stood up and staggered toward the stairs.
The waiter happened to come up to deliver wine and cups. When he saw Zhu Wanhong was about to leave, he immediately stretched out his hand to stop him. Tang Yin had already spoken: "Store, ask me for the money for the wine."
The waiter then got out of the way, looked back at Zhu Wanhong coming downstairs, walked over and asked: "This guest officer, do you know who...?"
Tang Yin didn't know what to say.
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Look what this young man said, don't you let me drink if you don't know me? You are from the government, do you want to inquire about your household registration? What is the price of this drink?"
"Two bowls of wine...and this pot, plus a few dishes, a total of thirty-six cents, no credit." The waiter said arrogantly.
Hey, during the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, prices were really cheap! Zhu Hao took out his wallet, counted out thirty-six coins and threw it on the table. The waiter was dumbfounded for a moment.
Isn't this young man a servant brought by a high official?
Why can we drink together as a servant? Why do we talk so loudly?
Just rely on the strength of others, you kid!
"Mr. Lu, what are you looking at? Let's go! You don't want to leave after finishing the food, do you?" Zhu Hao stood up and urged.
Tang Yin looked bad, but he got up and followed Zhu Hao downstairs.
…
…
Leave the wine shop.
The streets are still very lively, but Zhu Wanhong is no longer visible, and he doesn't know where he went.
Zhu Hao looked at the road ahead and joked: "What, is it worth inviting Mr. Lu to drink? Will you invite him to drink next time?"
Tang Yin originally looked lost, but after hearing this, his eyes became condensed again, and he glared at Zhu Hao: "If you don't drink with him, how would you know that he knows so many things? Isn't this considered a precaution?"
"Then Mr. Lu..."
Zhu Hao deliberately reminded, "You are in a dangerous place, why don't you go to this cultural gathering? What if my uncle is here to test your identity and plans to capture you secretly and send you to Nanchang to receive the reward... He said that he was frustrated in officialdom.
You must have also heard that sending you to Prince Ning’s Mansion is a great contribution to Prince Ning’s Mansion, and it is also a big credit to those treacherous people at the top of Jinyiwei..."
"If you don't know how to speak, just say a few words."
Tang Yin stopped and scolded him coldly.
He said that Zhu Hao's words were unpleasant, but in fact he was really frightened by Zhu Hao.
But returning to the palace now just shows that he is afraid of losing face in front of Zhu Hao.
If you don’t go back, keep walking forward... Why put yourself in danger just to attend a meaningless cultural gathering?
Tangled ah.
Zhu Hao looked leisurely: "But I estimate that my uncle didn't want to go against you. He sent you to Prince Ning's Mansion. It seemed like he had done a great job, but in fact it was so full of twists and turns. If people knew about it, they would think that he was seeking personal gain. Guess
What would the commander of the Jinyiwei think? You sent people to Nanchang to claim credit, but you didn't take me seriously? I arrested you and took you to the capital, but you offended Prince Xing's Mansion... You are a hot potato to the Jinyiwei...
"Mr. Lu, you are actually very safe now. I'm afraid Prince Ning's Mansion won't even bother to track you down? You just ran away pretending to be crazy. Everyone knows that you are hopelessly crazy. Even if you reported him for treason, only a ghost would believe you."
Bar?"
Tang Yin was originally struggling, but after hearing Zhu Hao's words, his suppressed mind suddenly became clear.
Zhu Hao continued: "He wanted to catch you and take credit. He wouldn't talk nonsense to you and just did it! Since he came to talk to you, it means that he wanted to take advantage of your fear and spy on the palace's intelligence from you. Now you will never
You still think that when you saw him at the door of the wine shop just now, it was a chance encounter, right?
"Also, he said that he has no followers around him... Do you think he alone can find out the time we left the palace and the route we took, and then create a chance encounter?"
The more Tang Yin listened, the more he frowned.
After Zhu Hao finished speaking, he said coldly: "You kid really dare to think about anything. How did you get so many palaces and schemes at such a young age?"
This time Tang Yin no longer doubted that Zhu Hao had expert guidance.
It is obvious that the encounter with Zhu Wanhong just now was purely accidental, and it was impossible for Zhu Hao to find out in advance. All these analyzes were Zhu Hao's temporary thoughts and feelings.
Zhu Hao sighed: "There is nothing I can do. I have lost my father at a young age, and my family is being cared about by evil people. I have to work hard and study at the same time. I am kicked out of the palace and have to go abroad... If I can't bring back Mr. Lu, I won't even be able to re-
Not even qualified to enter the palace...
"You said that if I didn't have some sense of government and scheming, I would either die or be imprisoned in Zhujiazhuangzi to do coolie work!"
Tang Yin was quite speechless.
But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that this was the only explanation.
Otherwise, what else can you think about?
Could it be that this kid was reincarnated with memories of his previous life, so he is so scheming and fancy?
"Then tell me, what does your uncle mean? If he wants to inquire about the palace's information, wouldn't it be better to directly state his intention and threaten me to tell him?" Tang Yin asked.
Zhu Hao shook his head: "In my opinion, my uncle is an old fox."
Tang Yin and Zhu Hao continued to walk forward, but very slowly. Hearing this, they turned their heads and asked, "How do you interpret this?"
Zhu Hao said: "My uncle is different from my grandfather. The purpose of my grandfather's coming to Anlu was to monitor Prince Xing's palace nearby. He devoted himself to serving the court and never dared to slack off. But my uncle was a hostage in Beijing and suffered all the humiliation. Couldn't he see that?
, working for the imperial court, even if his merits are placed in the sky, he is just a hard worker running errands for others, and his destiny is still controlled by others? "
Tang Yin heard the key point in Zhu Hao's analysis, and his tone became urgent and nervous: "You mean, he... wants to seek refuge in Prince Xing's Mansion?"
"Take refuge in Prince Xing's Mansion? Mr. Lu said it's too far. Even if he had the intention, he knew it would be impossible to succeed. Previously, he brought the royal guards to Anlu with the intention of assassinating him. Prince Xing's Mansion had already blacklisted him. He, a smart man, would have no idea.
?Perhaps he just doesn’t want the Zhu family to fall into catastrophe...If you think about what he said before, isn’t it actually describing the situation that the Zhu family may encounter after losing power? "
Zhu Hao made another analysis.
With Tang Yin's intelligence, he felt enlightened and enlightened after listening to it.
The Zhu family's loss of power is actually due to the emergence of a real dragon from Prince Xing's palace. If Prince Xing or his son becomes emperor in the future, won't the Zhu family really fall into the situation of "one misstep will lead to eternal disaster" as Zhu Wanhong said?
"That's why he said that the affairs of the previous generation of the Zhu family have nothing to do with you younger generations? In fact, he wants to remind you not to be implicated in the Zhu family's mission, but to rely on you...the good relationship with Prince Xing's Mansion in the future.
Help the Zhu family get out of trouble?"
Tang Yin tried to think along Zhu Hao's train of thought and express his own opinions.
Zhu Haodao: "I said Mr. Lu, we can try to figure out what an old fox is thinking, but it's best not to draw conclusions about him, okay? I'm not the roundworm in his belly, how can I know what he is thinking? Maybe he
Is this what you think when you get drunk, but then you regret it when you sober up?
"Now... I think it is safest for us to go back to the palace. Who knows if he is here to test your identity, Mr. Lu, and then find someone to kidnap you and send you to Nanchang?"
Tang Yin took a breath and strode out: "Don't be alarmist... let's go back to the palace!"
