Chapter 431 The Zhu Family's Way Out

When Tan invited Yu to eat and drink in Xingzhe Building, Qin Zhongzhi was anxious.

Before leaving, Tan Yaoyu told him that these dozens of carts of grain and grass must be handed over to Tan Daoji himself.Although the imperial court has been withholding food and grass from the army on the grounds that the treasury is empty, Tan Daoji always has to pay for the army out of his own pocket.But no one will pursue this matter, once someone makes use of it, it is raising private soldiers.

When he left Xingzhe Tower, he promised that Yao Yu would return within three days.As a result, ten days have passed, but Tan Daoji hasn't even seen his face yet.No matter what name he used to deliver the greeting card, the people in the military camp only said one word, no see.Qin Zhongzhi had no choice but to transfer to Zhu's house to live first.

The more Qin Zhongzhi waited at Zhu's house, the more anxious he became.According to the news in Qin Zhongzhi's hands, although the two lords of the Tan family were left as hostages, Tan Daoji had already left Jiankang early.Counting the days, he should have arrived in Qingzhou long ago.

"Could it be that something happened?" Qin Zhongzhi frowned.

No wonder Qin Zhongzhi is sensitive.Xu Xianzhi and Fu Liang were already dead, and Xie Hui had an accident not long ago.Now the military power in Tan Daoji's hands is the emperor's thorn in the side.Under such circumstances, if it is said that Liu Yilong has no intention of dealing with the Tan family, no one will believe it.

It's just that the Tan family is not so active.Not to mention Tan Daoji's prestige in the court and the army, Liu Yilong would not act rashly even thinking that Tan Yaoyu was still stuck in the throat of the Yangtze River.

But things are uncertain, and who can guarantee whether there has been a change in the court in the past few days, and someone has turned against Tan Daoji?
Zhu Tancheng poured a cup of tea for Qin Zhongzhi and said in relief: "President Qin, please be safe and don't be impatient. The villain has already sent people to inquire. I believe there will be news soon."

Qin Zhongzhi thought for a while and said frankly to Zhu: "If there is no definite news tomorrow, I will return to Xingzhe Building first. Let Mo Yao stay and stay with Miss Zhu for a few more days."

Zhu Yuanyuan shook her head desperately when she heard the words, "I will go back with Prime Minister Qin."

Zhu Yuanyuan originally thought that when he returned to Qingzhou, he would see Dalang and Erlang of the Tan family, so he hurriedly followed.Who would have thought that halfway through Qin Zhongzhi would tell her that the two gentlemen of the Tan family were left in Jiankang.

Thinking of the two men she admired falling into the wolf den of Jiankang, and being spied on by girls from countless families every day, Zhu Yuanyuan lost her energy at all.

Now that I can finally go back to Xingzhe Tower and see Yingfeng and Yun Daosheng every day, Zhu Yuanyuan will not be stupid to stay!

Qin Zhongzhi originally thought that Zhu Yuanyuan and Zhu Tancheng would stay for a few more days after being separated from Zhu Tancheng's father and daughter for several months, but Zhu Yuanyuan was more anxious to go back than he was.

Qin Zhongzhi said: "In this case, you should pack up as soon as possible and prepare to leave tomorrow. I will stop bothering you and arrange the return trip first. It's just that the [-] people that I brought with me may have to stay in the house." A few days."

Zhu Tancheng hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Prime Minister Qin. The villain must have hidden these three hundred people well."

Qin Zhongzhi nodded his thanks and went out to prepare.

As soon as Qin Zhongzhi left, Zhu Yuanyuan was anxious to go back to her room to pack her luggage, but Zhu Tancheng held her back.

Zhu Tancheng first checked that there was no one around, and then said, "Yuanyuan, what do you think?"

Zhu Yuanyuan was taken aback by this endless question, "What did you think? Dad, you finally figured it out, and you want to help me negotiate with the Tan family?"

Zhu Tancheng was full of anxiety, "What kind of marriage are you talking about? What time is it, you still think about this! Whether our Zhu family can continue or not depends on the moment!"

Zhu Yuanyuan was puzzled and said, "Father, what are you talking about? But what happened at home?"

Zhu Tancheng sighed, "I've been thinking about it, and I should distribute some of the family wealth. Only Xingzhelou's business is left to take care of, and the future is enough for our family to eat."

Zhu Yuanyuan was taken aback, "Father, what's wrong with you? The business of Xingzhe Building only accounts for [-]% of our family's existing business. Why do you suddenly want to dispose of such a large family business?"

Zhu Tancheng looked very tired and bowed his back, "I thought and thought, the reason why the Zoroastrian Cult chose to attack Xingzhelou from our family before was simply because our family is not from Xingzhelou. The same old gods and Tan girls are reciprocal A mutually beneficial partnership."

"In the final analysis, our family's foundation is not deep enough..." Zhu Tancheng sighed, "If it is really like a hundred-year-old clan, with deep roots, even if we stand in line at this time, we are not afraid of Zoroastrianism coming to make trouble..."

Zhu Yuanyuan immediately understood the meaning of her father's words, and she asked worriedly: "But the Zoroastrians came to make trouble? I'll go and tell the girl! The girl is still looking for them everywhere, but they don't take their lives too seriously! How dare you Blatant provocation!"

Zhu Tancheng shook his head, "I'm not sure if it's the Zoroastrianism. Our family is already a big tree. In order to clear our family's suspicion, we annexed many small family businesses. The interests of Zoroastrianism must not be involved. I have already asked the housekeeper to recruit more rangers and go to various shops to watch, I hope this can suppress the riots of those gangsters."

Zhu Yuanyuan was relieved when she heard that her father already had a countermeasure, "Father, those people dare not show up easily, at most they just find some scoundrels to make trouble. If you are still not at ease, I will go to the girl to discuss it when I return to Xingzhe Building. An idea. Even if you want to disperse your wealth, you must have a constitution."

Zhu Tancheng was very pleased when he heard the words, "Father is very pleased that you can understand what is more important. If you can save our family by dissipating the family wealth, it will be worth more than anything... eh... after the auction Afterwards, my girl is quite sensible. The Zhu family is handed over to you, so Dad can rest assured. Dad has been asking someone to help you look around for the past few days. It is best to find someone who has studied and has simple and clean housework. Come into our house."

Zhu Yuanyuan became anxious when she heard this, "Father! Didn't you say that the matter of getting married is for the daughter to make up her own mind? You go to Tan's house to help me get married, or I won't get married!"

"Don't mess around!" Zhu frankly put on his originally kind face, "Marriage has been ordered by parents since ancient times. The same is true for married couples!"

Seeing Zhu Yuanyuan's dissatisfaction, Zhu Tancheng calmed down and said, "Don't you just like handsome people? Don't worry, our Zhu family has nothing but a lot of money. Father will give you enough betrothal gifts, Song Yu, Pan An, dad will bring you home too! Are you satisfied with this?"

Zhu Yuanyuan blushed and nodded happily, "Father! You are indeed my real father!"

Zhu Tancheng pampered Zhu Yuanyuan's chubby cheeks, and said: "When you return to the Xingzhe Building, you must learn more from the seniors in it. Father has only had your daughter in his life, and he expects you to inherit it sooner." Family business, let father enjoy the blessings of his children and grandchildren!"

Zhu Yuanyuan dodged with a smile, "Father, I'm not a child anymore, so you should worry less. If you want to have a grandson, go quickly and get my handsome husband back. I will definitely give you a golden eagle by then." Yu Zhuo's eldest grandson!"

Zhu Tancheng laughed out of anger at Zhu Yuanyuan's words, "Shaohun said! You don't look like a girl at all. Go and pack your things, and go back to Xingzhe Tower early, so that I won't be mad at you!"

　If I could describe it in one sentence these days, it would be a lawsuit over my head...
