Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

In the big house, Liu Banxian and Su Jing were busy.

In the Forbidden City, Prince Zhu Biao rushed back in a hurry.

During this trip, he was in a bad mood because of matters related to granaries in various places.

After all, he is still too young and has too little experience facing officials and landlords everywhere.

Zhu Biao knew that what he found was definitely not the most realistic situation, but he didn't have enough ways to find the truth.

At the same time, after learning the news about Su Jing, Zhu Biao immediately stopped his investigation and went straight to the capital.

It means it's a long way to go, otherwise he would have come back long ago.

"Father! Father! How is Master Su!"

Zhu Biao quickly arrived at Fengxian Hall. The journey was smooth and no one dared to stop him.

"Biao'er, why are you so impatient? You are the prince, be careful of the impact!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and scolded him slightly.

Naturally, he already knew the news about Zhu Biao's return.

"Father, I am worried about Master Su, and please ask Father to tell me how Master Su is doing now!"

Zhu Biao bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, his tone full of anxiety.

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "Don't worry, your Master Su is fine. He is currently looking after a house in the capital."

Zhu Biao was relieved when he heard that nothing was wrong, but his expression was not much relieved.

Zhu Biao continued: "Father, what happened to Master Su?"

The news I got on the road was not very accurate. I only knew that something happened to Su Jing, and Zhu Biao knew very little about the inside story.

Zhu Yuanzhang replied: "Su Jing was assassinated and the murderer has been found."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not hide anything about his prince Zhu Biao.

"What! Assassinate Master Su! Who is so bold!"

Zhu Biao's expression suddenly changed and he asked hurriedly.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Zhu Liangzu, Marquis of Yongjia."

Marquis!

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhu Biao's expression changed even more.

He never thought that the person who assassinated Su Jing would have such an identity.

He had been in contact with Zhu Liangzu on weekdays, but he really couldn't think of any reason for him to assassinate Su Jing.

"Then why didn't your father capture Marquis Yongjia?"

Zhu Biao asked directly.

When comparing the weights between Su Jing and Zhu Liangzu, Zhu Biao did not hesitate at all.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "This is Su Jing's request. He asked us not to continue pursuing this matter."

"Master Su's request?"

Zhu Biao was stunned, his eyes full of doubts, and he couldn't figure out the reason.

He could only continue to ask: "Father, did Master Su ever say why this is?"

Zhu Yuanzhang replied: "As I said, Su Jing told me that Zhu Liangzu is not the biggest mastermind behind the scenes. There is a bigger existence behind him, and he will find it out."

A greater presence!
When these words fell on Zhu Biao's heart, he was shocked.

Although between Su Jing and Zhu Liangzu, Zhu Biao would choose Su Jing without hesitation, but this does not mean that Zhu Liangzu is useless.

As a founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, being able to be named Yongjia Hou is enough to explain a lot of things.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, there were not many people with higher status than Yongjiahou.

If what Su Jing said is true, then this matter is quite terrifying.

Do not!
What Su Jing said must be true!

This is something that has been proven many times.

"So, my father is now planning to spare Zhu Liangzu's life and wait for the follow-up?"

Zhu Biao asked tentatively.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Yes, since Su Jing is sure, let him do it."

"We also want to know who in this Ming Dynasty is harboring evil intentions."

As he spoke, a fierce murderous intention emerged from Zhu Yuanzhang's brows.

Although Lao Zhu at this stage is not as bloodthirsty as he was in the later stage, it does not mean that he will not kill people.

"Father, as for Master Su, I want to..."

"No need, just let Su Jing figure it out on his own. He said he has a solution, so let's see what solution he has."

Zhu Biao also wanted to do something to help Su Jing, but Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted him directly.

In Zhu Biao's eyes, Su Jing's opponent was Yongjia Hou, an important figure in the Ming Dynasty.

Although Su Jing has the Holy Family, he doesn't use it. From this point of view, Su Jing undoubtedly has a huge disadvantage and is even dangerous.

If he, a student, doesn't help, it will be really difficult for Su Jing.

"But, father..."

"How can there be so much? But, Biao'er, don't you trust Su Jing as much as we do?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and said seriously: "Su Jing is so powerful. I think you should know it best and have some confidence in him."

Zhu Biao's face was solemn, but he still nodded and said: "Father, I understand."

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and walked to Zhu Biao's side, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Biao'er, tell me how you feel about going out this time?"

Su Jing's matter is very important, but to Lao Zhu, it is by no means everything.

He must manage Ming's huge family business well, and at the same time, he must cultivate a good heir.

Zhu Biao lowered his head and said: "I am ashamed of my father. This time I was ordered to go out to investigate the situation of granaries in various places. I encountered many situations. Those local officials colluded with the wealthy gentry. I thought that what I saw was just what they wanted. The real situation that I let my son see has not been investigated."

After hearing this, Lao Zhu's expression did not change much. This result was what he expected.

Firstly, Zhu Biao was still young and inexperienced at this time.

Secondly, the current Ming Dynasty has not completely calmed down internally, especially at the local level.

Even Lao Zhu himself sometimes has to turn a blind eye.

"It would be nice to know that I have been deceived. At least it will make the current situation of Ming Dynasty obvious."

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "Biao'er, don't worry, before you ascend to our position, we will definitely solve all these problems for you."

Lao Zhu has always thought very clearly about Zhu Biao's succession.

He wanted to clear away all the obstacles that prevented Zhu Biao from controlling the Ming Dynasty while he was alive.

Zhu Biao immediately said: "Father, I want to share your worries. This time I am not prepared enough. If I prepare well, I will be able to find out the dirty tricks!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Biao'er, as long as you have this intention, this matter cannot be rushed. It will be easy to handle in a few years."

Lao Zhu still had a subtext that he didn't say. After a few years, he would be free to deal with the internal problems of Ming Dynasty with confidence and boldness.

When there is no need to worry about the power of the local gentry, then you can just punch the old master to death.

Zhu Biao naturally understood the meaning of Lao Zhu's words, but he didn't want to be such a prince.

"Father, I don't know where Master Su is now. I would like to pay a visit to Master Su."

Zhu Biao asked Zhu Yuanzhang. There was no need to continue to dwell on the previous question.

No matter how much you say it, it is not as practical as doing it.

"Well, you really should go and see Su Jing. After all, he is your teacher. We will send someone to take you there directly." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.

……

In Uncle Renyuan's Mansion, Liu Banxian was almost dead from exhaustion.

"Master Su, such a big house is really a test of Liu Banxian's physical strength. The reward cannot be any less."

Liu Banxian said breathlessly.

For such a big house, running back and forth several times is really tiring.

Not to mention old people like Liu Banxian.

Su Jing also took a few deep breaths, nodded and said: "Don't worry, you are indispensable, but now I have an idea. I want to build a circular stone path against the wall in this house. There should be no problems. Influence?"

"Stone path?"

Liu Banxian frowned and suddenly became nervous.

Because Su Jing's idea of ​​transformation was really strange, and sometimes he couldn't understand it at all.

But Su Jing is the boss and he has the final say.

"That's right, it's a stone path. It doesn't need to be very wide, but it needs to eventually form a circle, like a moat, but within the wall."

Su Jing nodded and explained to Liu Banxian in detail.

After hearing this, Liu Banxian felt that Su Jing's idea was quite crazy.

"Master Su, do you really know what you are talking about?"

Liu Banxian looked at Su Jing and said, "If we really build such a stone path, the whole house will be in chaos, and the path will not be beautiful. Mr. Su, why do you want to build it?"

Liu Banxian was really tortured crazy by Su Jing. He could still understand some of the blacksmith shop, carpentry room, and chemical laboratory that he was going to build before.

He really couldn't understand the current stone path.

Su Jing replied: "It's nothing. I just think that such a big house can have an indoor track. It would be nice to run around the house every morning."

Indoor track, this is Su Jing’s idea.

It's not realistic to run outside.

Because this is already the most prosperous area in the capital, and it is also quite close to the Forbidden City.

In this place where every inch of land is at a premium, you must have a suitable place if you want to run in the morning.

Su Jing has wandered around this house several times, and the area is still large enough.

"Mr. Su, if you just want to run, it's enough to build a trail in the backyard. It's just designed to be more winding. How about forgetting about the stone path that goes around the entire house!"

Liu Banxian said to Su Jing very sincerely that he really didn't want Su Jing to bother like this anymore.

He finally got the feng shui of the house that Su Jing requested to be modified. He was really scared if Su Jing changed it again!

Su Jing thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's okay too."

huh~~~
Liu Banxian let out a breath and finally calmed down a lot.

"Master Su! Master Su!"

An urgent voice suddenly sounded, and Su Jing followed the sound and looked, it was Zhu Biao!
"Prince."

Su Jing was quite surprised. He had already learned about Zhu Biao's itinerary from Mu Ying.

Zhu Biao, who should still be out of town, was still surprised to appear in front of him at this moment.

"Common people meet the prince!"

Liu Banxian knelt down directly.

The prince of Ming Dynasty, that is the future emperor.

Everyone in the entire Ming Dynasty knew that Zhu Biao would definitely become the emperor, without any objection.

"Students pay homage to Master Su."

Zhu Biao came to Su Jing and said very respectfully.

Su Jing smiled and said: "Okay, I haven't seen you for many days, and you have become a lot darker. You must be tired from running around outside."

"The students just did some things that were part of their duties, it doesn't count."

Zhu Biao replied immediately, his face full of joy.

He hadn't seen Su Jing for a long time, and his feeling was particularly strong.

"You should get up too. I wonder who you are, old gentleman?"

Zhu Biao looked at Liu Banxian again and said curiously.

Because he came back in a hurry, Zhu Biao didn't know Liu Banxian's situation.

"Prince, his name is Liu Banxian, he is a fortune teller. I happened to be moving, so I asked him to help me with my feng shui."

Before Liu Banxian could speak, Su Jing had already introduced him in advance.

Liu Banxian, who was about to open his mouth, was also stunned. Su Jing actually spoke directly for him.

The prince is noble, but there is no need to even introduce myself.

"I see, Liu Banxian, please excuse me. There shouldn't be any problem with Feng Shui in Master Su's house, right?"

Zhu Biao asked immediately, with a very good attitude.

After being around Su Jing for a long time, Zhu Biao could also see Su Jing's attitude towards different people.

It was obvious that Su Jing was very good to Liu Banxian, and the relationship between the two should also be good.

Su Jing's friends are his Zhu Biao's friends, so they naturally need to be treated more politely.

"Your Highness, you're welcome. I'm just doing what I should do. The Feng Shui pattern here is very good. Mr. Su will have no worries here."

Liu Banxian replied immediately.

Liu Banxian was really surprised when he met Zhu Biao for the first time.

Because he had experienced two princes, Zhu Feng and Zhu Fan, he thought that the prince's attitude towards him was just like that.

But I didn't expect that Zhu Biao, as the prince, could talk to me so kindly. It was so unexpected.

Zhu Biao nodded slightly, then turned to look at Su Jing and said: "Master Su, this is not the place to talk. Why not go to my house? It has been a long time since I received Master Su's teachings. The student really misses me."

"Okay, I'm done here anyway."

Su Jing smiled and agreed. Zhu Biao, a student, was different from others, and Su Jing missed him very much.

Liu Banxian clearly saw the feeling of reunion between the two of them after a long separation, and immediately said: "Your Highness, Mr. Su, I still need to make some detailed changes here, so I won't go with you."

Rather than letting Su Jing or Zhu Biao speak, it is better to leave on your own initiative.

He still has enough eyesight to see this thing.

Su Jing smiled and said: "Then watch it carefully. If I don't come back at night, you can go back by yourself."

After saying that, Su Jing and Zhu Biao left directly.

Although there was a carriage, neither Su Jing nor Zhu Biao wanted to ride on it.

Because walking and chatting at the same time was their daily routine when they were in Lishui County.

"Prince, the matters in the granaries in various places have not been resolved yet, right? Why did you come back suddenly? Could it be because of me?"

Su Jing asked directly. He didn't know how many granaries there were in the Ming Dynasty, but there must be many and they were spread all over the country.

If I really want to check it completely, it will take a long time. However, Zhu Biao went out for only more than a month, which was not enough at all.

Zhu Biao replied: "Master Su really has a clever plan. The student affairs have not been completed yet. When I heard something happened to Master Su, I rushed back immediately."

Su Jing said lightly: "I am just a humble person, not worthy of the prince's concern." (End of this chapter)
