The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 143 It's time to send money to Lord Ye again, and Zhu Yuanzhang still looks like a wolf!
At the moment when the sun rose eastward, Zhu Biao started his life of sitting in court and managing politics again.

And his parents, again as Master Guo and Mrs. Guo, came to the north gate of Yingtian Mansion, Jinchuan Gate, in a carriage.

"Your Majesty, the boat across the river is ready."

"Although we don't need to walk along the way this time, the weather is getting hotter. We have to find a place to rest in the hottest afternoon. It may take us a full month."

Zhu Yuanzhang lifted the curtains of the car, looked at Mao Xiang and others who were wearing bamboo hats and coir raincoats, and only nodded solemnly.

Yes!

They are all dressed up, so naturally they should take the weather into consideration.

Zhu Yuanzhang said to Mao Xiang through the car window: "This thing on you is a treasure handed down from our ancestors."

"Not only can it provide shelter from the rain and cold, but it can also provide shade from the sun. When fishing, it is not afraid of wind and rain. When the farming is busy, it can also be used as a bedding for rest in the fields. It is much more useful than the splendid mink hair that is worth hundreds of gold."

"A good coir raincoat can be passed down to three or five generations!"

"You are very smart. In summer, the sun is bright and it rains a lot. It is just right for you to wear this bamboo hat and coir raincoat."

Mao Xiang just smiled and said: "When I was training Jinyiwei, I found out that those knights in the rivers and lakes were dressed like this. I think it looks like that, so I just have a set of people."

Hearing such an answer, Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded in satisfaction: "That's right, we've already seen signs of you surpassing the secret service brigade."

At this very moment,
Another group of bamboo hats and coir raincoats rode past them on fast horses, and the dust they raised caused Zhu Yuanzhang to quickly lower the curtain.

"Who are these people, they just rushed out of the city, and the guards didn't stop them?"

Mao Xiang reported outside: "They are the Jinyiwei who went to Haozhou to investigate the case. This is the first time they received a secret investigation mission, and they are really motivated!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard Mao Xiang's explanation, he also felt that it was justifiable. The new official took three fires when he took office. These young men who had just received the task naturally performed meritorious service.

It's just that they are going to investigate secretly, and this kind of thing can't be rushed.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang worried: "Who led them there? They can't be so rough after entering the city."

Mao Xiang immediately replied: "Return to Your Majesty, it's the minister's apprentice Jiang Yu!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, when they arrive at the place, they will definitely have a sense of proportion."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang just nodded with a forced smile.

Fortunately, the curtains of the car windows had been lowered at this time, Mao Xiang did not see Zhu Yuanzhang's deep eyes, but was clearly seen by Empress Ma next to him.

Empress Ma knew that Shigehachi's suspicion had reappeared!
Zhu Yuanzhang relied on so many adopted sons and nephews to build the country, but when he first took the throne, he said that this kind of behavior of adopting orphans in the army as adopted sons was a bad habit in the army.

There is no other reason, because he is afraid that another Zhu Yuanzhang will come out.

However, these four words are not just for fun, it is true that many princes in the army are doing this.

The point is that Zhu Yuanzhang came here in this way, and he can only verbally say that this is a bad habit in the army, and it is impossible to use iron laws to prohibit it from doing so.

He would never do this kind of face-slapping thing anyway.

But the more he couldn't expressly stipulate that it was not allowed to do this, the more he tabooed the princes in the army to do it.

Now Mao Xiang has such an apprentice again, and directly entrusts him with the first task since the birth of Jin Yiwei, which is tantamount to giving credit to his apprentice.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately became suspicious.

Is this the apprentice or the adopted son?
In other words, this is the adopted son in the name of apprentice!
Empress Ma on the side also frowned when she saw Zhu Yuanzhang's deep and complicated eyes.

He really wanted to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang, if he even doubted Mao Xiang, who could he trust, and who would follow him wholeheartedly?

It's just that in this case, she can only see it when she doesn't see it.

The current Empress Ma only hopes to arrive in Yanmen County as soon as possible, because in her opinion, Zhu Yuanzhang's problem needs to be cured by that mad genius.

Thinking of Ye Qing, Empress Ma immediately became interested.

She has never met such a person before, and she said that he is arrogant, but he is really arrogant!
Not only did Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong not be taken seriously, even the emperor Lao Tzu looked down on him!
Say he is reckless, but he is really not reckless, and his seemingly reckless words and deeds are full of wisdom!
Just because he can still live to this day because of his actions, he is really not comparable to ordinary people, and the word "wizard" is well-deserved!
As soon as Empress Ma thought of the word 'wizard', Ye Qing sent a memorial to wish them a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

Yes,

When she just read the memorial, she also had the urge to become a dominatrix, which was really irritating.

But thinking about it now, I think he is really bold and talented.

As a well-read person, she would never think of reporting the crime in the form of writing songs.

Not to mention, even though his song was only at the level of doggerel, it could really explain the problem to the point.

Thinking of this, Empress Ma also looked in the direction of Yanmen County, and said in her heart: "Boy, I owe you a favor again, Sister Ma."

"If it wasn't for me, you would have been given death!"

Just when Empress Ma was thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Naturally, Empress Ma would not tell Zhu Yuanzhang what she was laughing at. She just looked at this gloomy face and felt something was wrong.

Zhu Yuanzhang suspected that she couldn't cure Mao Xiang's paranoid disease, but after all, she had to walk for a month to see Ye Qing, and then she could find a way to get Ye Qing to treat Zhu Yuanzhang's paranoid disease.

But she doesn't want to see a month's stinky face!
In order to let Zhu Yuanzhang ignore this matter for the time being, she immediately asked back: "Do you know how much money I brought with me this time?"

Zhu Yuanzhang just smiled and said: "How much money can we have? You helped us pay back the 20 guan, which is [-] guan!"

Empress Ma made a gesture of three in front of him and said, "I have brought 30 guan."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he really ignored the fact that Mao Xiang had an apprentice named Jiang Yu for the time being, and immediately widened his eyes and said, "30 yuan, have you borrowed money from the treasury again?"

After Queen Ma shook her head, she immediately held Zhu Yuanzhang's hand and said with a deep and gentle smile, "Why would I ask the treasury to borrow money?"

"The 20 guan was saved by me over the years, and the extra [-] guan was borrowed from your concubine and children in your name."

As he said that, Empress Ma snapped up her fingers and told him to count in front of him: "Concubine Sun Gui borrowed [-] guan, Concubine Li Shu borrowed [-] guan, and sister Concubine Yu even borrowed [-] guan from the mother country of Korea. I lent you all the boxes of money."

"The eldest of our family borrowed [-] guan, and the second borrowed [-] guan!"

"The third and fourth children, as well as other children's New Year's Eve money, have been lent to you, so we have collected 20 yuan!"

"They all know that you, Mr. Guo Ruiguo, are going to do big business, so they don't borrow in vain. Even with the principal and interest, a total of forty guan is enough to pay them back."

"Of course, my 60 guan has been saved by me over the years, and it has to be calculated as interest. Your Majesty, you can repay us [-] guan with principal and interest."

"As for the 20 coins I paid back to the treasury for you, it's not considered interest. Our relationship between husband and wife has been so clear for so many years, isn't it?"

"So, His Majesty the Emperor owes us a total of 80 guan!"

"."

Before Queen Ma could continue talking, Zhu Yuanzhang had completely forgotten about Jiang Yu.

All he knows now is that he has incurred 80 foreign debts for no reason.

The point is that he can't afford to offend even one of these creditors!

"and many more!"

A sudden roar-like call startled Empress Ma, the coachman subconsciously stopped the car, and the coir raincoat heroes outside held down the knives at their waists.

After a while, they realized that it was not the robbers hiding in the dark who rushed out, but His Majesty the Emperor they were protecting, who looked like a robber at the moment.

In everyone's ears, Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly: "No, who asked you to borrow money from them?"

Empress Ma was not angry either, and still said softly: "Master Guo has made money when he came back. When he shouldn't go again, he has more capital and bigger business?"

"Only in this way, you will not be suspected by Ye Qing, and you will also meet the status of a rich businessman who makes money and grows the business."

Immediately afterwards, they only heard Zhu Yuanzhang's voice softened a lot: "Yes, you are right."

"But."

Empress Ma continued to speak softly: "Last time we had a capital of 30 guan, and earned 30 guan with interest. This time we had a capital of 90, and we have to earn [-] guan with interest!"

"You paid back 80 guan, you can still save [-] guan with me, can't you?"

Immediately afterwards, they heard that Zhu Yuanzhang not only lowered his voice, but also smiled happily: "That's the reason, we have never had a hundred thousand pocket money!"

next moment,
Zhu Yuanzhang directly opened the curtain of the car, and looked at so many heroes in coir raincoats who were looking at the carriage and smiling: "Why are you standing there?"

"Hurry up and set off to do business and make money. The master invites you to Qinhuai Restaurant for dinner!"

Mao Xiang and the others couldn't hold it back, but they had to.

They just suppressed their laughter and said, "Thank you, Master."

They cooperated with Zhu Yuanzhang very much, and they looked very energetic.

But they all knew well that if nothing happened, their noble master would never have the money to invite them to the Qinhuai Restaurant for a drink of flowers and wine.

On the morning of September [-]th,

Zhu Yuanzhang and his group walked for a month, and came to the south gate toll station of Yanmen County again.

As soon as they arrived at the place, Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma got out of the carriage immediately, still looking around.

above the city walls,

The agent who was in charge of guarding the south gate saw a familiar face through a long telescope.

"Let the brothers in the city hurry up and inform Mr. Ye that the wolf-eyed Mr. Guo is here again.".
　Please follow up with the support of the officials, please recommend tickets, monthly tickets, and reward support, thank you!
