Chapter 244 Concubine is affectionate, Lang has no intention
On Zhu Gui's side, as soon as the funeral was over, he found an opportunity to slip out of the team, and then wanted to return to the palace.
However, someone stopped him halfway. The guard beside Zhu Gui just wanted to teach this ungrateful guy a lesson.
The other party immediately took out a token.
When Zhu Gui saw this, he immediately told his men to stop because the other party was Zuo Erniang, a member of the Money Gang.
Only then did he remember that when he first came to Nanjing, Zuo Erniang wrote a letter and wanted to see him, but Zhu Gui had forgotten about it, so that the other party even came to visit him.
It would be very disrespectful if I didn't go.
So Zhu Gui sent a personal guard back to the palace to explain the situation to Xu Miaoqing, and followed the money gang members away.
After arriving at the place, Zhu Gui discovered that this place was completely different from the original hidden residence of the Money Gang.
Zuo Erniang was already waiting eagerly by the gate.
She still wore a veil as before, but the color of her clothes had changed from black to purple, which made her even more mysterious.
"Your Majesty, you're finally here. It's not easy to meet you."
Without waiting for Zhu Gui to speak, Zuo Erniang took his arm and pulled him into the yard.
This made everyone in the money gang look stupid.
You must know that Zuo Erniang has always been like an iceberg that does not allow strangers to enter. Especially after she took over the Money Gang, she used drastic means to thoroughly clean up and firmly control the entire gang. No one has ever seen it.
over her smile.
But they saw it today, and many of them thought they were dreaming.
Zuo Erniang dragged Zhu Gui into a secret room, and then ordered her subordinates not to let anyone in.
After entering the house, Zhu Gui was the first to say: "There are great changes here."
"Oh? Really? Aren't these all done according to the instructions of the website? Today's Money Gang no longer deals with those gray industries, and has also joined the Datong Chamber of Commerce."
While Zuo Erniang was talking, she actually took off the veil on her face, revealing her beautiful appearance.
Although Zhu Gui had seen it once, he was still a little surprised in his heart, but his face was still calm and calm.
Seeing this, Zuo Erniang walked to Zhu Gui and sat on the armrest next to his chair, almost pressing her body into Zhu Gui's arms.
Zhu Gui is no longer a child who doesn't understand anything. Although he was still a virgin in his previous life, he had tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time with Xu Miaoqing the day before yesterday, so he had already reacted to Zuo Erniang's actions.
But he didn't want to do anything to regret Xu Miaoqing.
Although in this era, it was common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that he was a vassal king.
It's just that Zhu Gui's thoughts are still those of later generations, and he doesn't want to make the relationship with Zuo Erniang too complicated, as this situation is not conducive to his control.
Zuo Erniang's eyes dimmed, and she whispered: "My lord, do you think I am cheap?"
"Why did you say that? Now with your identity and status, you can definitely find a better family, so don't waste your energy on me." Zhu Gui said lightly.
"Then the prince cares that I am the daughter of a guilty minister?" Zuo Erniang seemed to have not heard Zhu Gui's words.
"You are wrong. I just don't want to let my wife down." Zhu Gui said directly.
"I didn't expect that the prince is still infatuated, but I don't seek those false reputations. Even so, can't the prince accept it?" Zuo Erniang walked to the front of Zhu Gui and put her hands on the lapels of her clothes.
"Why are you doing this?" Zhu Gui turned around and sighed.
"The closest relationship in the world, apart from the blood relationship, is the love between a man and a woman. I don't want the prince to be left behind in the future. Mr. Wang, will you do it?"
Zuo Erniang had already hugged Zhu Gui's shoulders.
Zhu Gui could feel Zuo Erniang's uneasiness, and he wanted to throw away all worries and just indulge, even his hand had touched Zuo Erniang's fingers.
But at the last moment, Xu Miaoqing's voice suddenly appeared in his mind, "Your Majesty."
Zhu Gui suddenly woke up and pushed Zuo Erniang away.
Zuo Erniang looked at Zhu Gui in surprise and did not come back to her senses for a long time.
"Leader Zuo, please respect yourself. As long as you can follow my instructions, I have no reason to abandon you. You can go to the Datong Chamber of Commerce to verify this."
"Huh, I understand." Zuo Erniang stood up from the ground miserably, and then arranged her clothes and veil.
The atmosphere between the two suddenly became a little awkward.
"Ahem, how is the recent situation in Nanjing?" It was Zhu Gui who was the first to break the deadlock.
One of the main responsibilities of the Datong Chamber of Commerce is to collect intelligence, not to mention that the Money Gang was controlled by Zuo Erniang with the help of Zhu Gui, so the Money Gang was a secret move by Zhu Gui from the beginning.
"Several garrisons around Nanjing have been mobilized frequently, and half of them have been taken over by General Lan Yu's people, and it seems to have been authorized by the imperial court. It may be to prevent the recurrence of the last 'Imperial Garden' incident."
Zuo Erniang said in a calm tone.
Zhu Gui nodded, which surprised him a little, but was this Zhu Yuanzhang's intention or Lan Yu's own intention?
Although Zhu Gui didn't think Zhu Yuanzhang would take action at this time, he had to guard against it.
"Is there a secret passage inside Nanjing City that leads outside the city?" Zhu Gui continued to ask.
"Yes, but three of them are in the hands of the Jin family. I only have one trail in my hands. Although it is hidden, it is also very risky." Zuo Erniang said.
"Jin family? Why haven't I heard of this family before? Is it very powerful?" Zhu Gui recalled and said.
Zuo Erniang smiled bitterly and said: "If you really talk about it, the prince may not be unfamiliar with it. The previous leader of our gang, King Kong, was from the Jin family. He was just a concubine, so he was not highly used in the Jin family. However, our gang
It used to be the property of the Jin family."
"The Jin family is also one of the largest underground forces in Nanjing. It is said that they were very powerful during the Yuan Dynasty, and they intermarried with the Yuan Dynasty royal family. They were also considered one of the staunch supporters of the Yuan Dynasty. They also came to cause trouble.
But they were all resolved by me."
What Zuo Erniang said was indeed something Zhu Gui had never heard of. He didn't expect that there was a family of supporters of the former dynasty in Nanjing, and it seemed that if Zhu Gui wanted to prepare a way out for himself, he would have to deal with the other party.
Moreover, this matter must be carried out covertly. If Zhu Yuanzhang knew about this matter, I am afraid that if something happens in the future, it would be more difficult for him to leave Nanjing.
"Er Niang, do you have a way to contact the Jin family? I want to 'buy' a road from them."
