Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 460 The extremely embarrassed Old Zhu
Chapter 460: The Extremely Embarrassed Old Zhu
Obviously, Song Li was well aware that this was an offensive matter.

So he shrank!

He shrank, so he shrank.

The key point is that he also pushed Mao Xiang to the front.

This is a bit of a joke.

Motherfucker!
You are worried about offending Master Hu, but I am not afraid?

Do you know the value of Mr. Hu’s reputation?

You know, in the entire Ming Dynasty, the only one who has served as prime minister and is still alive is Master Hu.

Li Shanchang, Yang Xian and others are all gone.

Not to mention that Mr. Hu is the in-law of the current emperor's children!
Or the kind where they marry each other’s children!
A niece whom he treated as his own daughter was the Crown Princess, and a legitimate son of his family married a legitimate princess...

To describe this with just four words "the emperor's favor is strong" seems a little insufficient!

Would Mao Xiang risk his life to offend such a person?
However, when he turned around and looked at Song Li's calm expression, Mao Xiang spat in his face and cursed him "bad luck"!
He knew that since Song Li looked so calm, it proved that His Majesty had indeed arranged it this way.

He is the idiot who takes the blame and charges forward.

Mao Xiang smacked his lips speechlessly, not even bothering to say hello, and strode towards the outer room.

Since we are going to die anyway, we might as well die quickly.

When Song Li saw Mao Xiang surrender and lower his head, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s normal that Mao Xiang is afraid of Master Hu!
He talks as if he is not afraid!
With Mr. Hu's bad temper, once you make him angry, he will bare his teeth at you on the spot.

It might even bite you on the spot, which is perfectly normal.

However, fortunately, Mao Xiang is leading the group now, and I am just a spectator, so I can go!

Soon, they arrived at the Hu Mansion.

Even though Mao Xiang's main purpose this time was to investigate Hu Renbin's condition.

But now that we are at the Hu Mansion, is it possible for us not to pay our respects to the owner of the Hu Mansion, Master Hu?

Therefore, Mao Xiang forced a smile and walked slowly to the main hall.

Before I even reached the main hall, I saw Master Hu lying on a recliner with his legs crossed, squinting his eyes, humming a little tune, drinking tea and eating snacks.

When Mao Xiang saw this, his face suddenly turned dark.

"Oh, my Lord Hu!"

"Are you not even going to pretend anymore?"

"You are still on sick leave, but you don't look sick at all."

Master Hu glanced at Mao Xiang with half-opened eyes, curled his lips and said unhappily.

"Anyway, you've all seen me being surrounded by girls last time, so why are you still pretending?!"

Mao Xiang's mouth twitched when he heard this.

"I don't mind, but Song Li is still here!"

"This old fellow is a sinister person. He might not be able to control his mouth and tell others about your situation, Master Hu!"

"That's all in vain!"

Song Li almost fainted from anger on the spot.

You guys are going to take revenge on the spot, right?

I asked you to take the blame and now you sell me out?

But before Song Li could say anything, Master Hu answered unhappily.

"Song Li?"

"Old Song, this is also an old acquaintance!"

"how?"

"Can he go to His Majesty and complain, or can he go outside and publicize it?"

"Tsk, I just want to resign and live a simple life in my house!"

"We've been pretending for so long, now we all have a way out, isn't that enough?"

"Why, do you really want me to work at my age?"

Once these words were spoken, both Mao Xiang and Song Li were silent.

This statement is too straightforward. But it is precisely this kind of straightforwardness that has a kind of lethality like a heavy sword without a sharp edge.

As the saying goes, a man without desires is strong, and this is exactly what Mr. Hu is like.

Anyone who has ambitions for fame, wealth and power would not do such a thing as pretending to be sick and resigning from office.

But who can blame Mr. Hu for being such a useless person?

Apart from the fact that he was afraid of being dragged out and beheaded by Zhu Yuanzhang, he didn't care about anything else.

Fame, wealth and official position are all bullshit.

I don’t want even a little bit!
Take them all, no!

Master Hu has the confidence. Even though he has no official position, he still lives a very comfortable life!

After all, he didn't go out and was enjoying himself with his beautiful wife and concubines at home. Did he need approval from any official?

Seeing this, Mao Xiang and Song Li nodded speechlessly.

After greeting Master Hu again, he, led by Hu Yi, went straight to Hu Renbin's courtyard.

When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Hu Yi politely asked the servant at the door to come in and report.

After all, the hostess here is a princess, so the proper rules must be followed.

Mao Xiang and Song Li naturally knew the rules and just stood there waiting obediently.

Soon, Princess Anqing came to the door in person.

"Oh, Eunuch Song, Commander Mao, what rare guests you have!"

When meeting Princess Anqing, Song Li and Mao Xiang naturally had to perform the formalities of greeting.

Then, Mao Xiang explained the purpose of his visit.

"I have been sent by Your Majesty to visit Prince Consort Hu on behalf of Your Majesty, along with Eunuch Song!"

Upon hearing this, Princess Anqing looked at the two of them with a complicated expression, and then nodded.

"Well, my husband is indeed injured and is now recuperating."

"But since you are here on behalf of our father, come in and take a look!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the inner room.

After Mao Xiang and the other man looked at each other, they had to hurry up and catch up.

Then, they were both frightened.

They both had met Hu Renbin.

Especially Song Li, who came to Hu Mansion a few days ago to convey the imperial edict to Hu Renbin.

As a result, we just haven’t seen each other for a few days, how come it turned out like this?
Look at what Hu Renbin looks like now.

My goodness, not only was his entire body wrapped tightly in gauze, but there was actually blood seeping out of the gauze.

For Mao Xiang and Song Li, they have seen many deaths and they know the difference between real injuries and fake injuries very well.

Just by smelling the faint smell of blood, they would never mistake it.

The way he looks now, it's clear that he's really hurt.

Mao Xiang looked at Princess Anqing in surprise.

"Princess, I have a question. How did the prince consort get injured?"

Princess Anqing was too embarrassed to say that her husband was whipped like this by her father-in-law.

So, she just made up a random excuse and got away with it.

Mao Xiang wanted to ask a few more questions.

But now Hu Renbin is "seriously injured and unconscious", and Princess Anqing is not only a woman, but also a princess of the current dynasty.

He has no right to ask questions.

Therefore, today's mission, which was called a visit but was actually an inspection, has come to an end.

After bidding farewell to Princess Anqing, the two men went straight to the palace and reported to Zhu Yuanzhang truthfully what they had seen and heard.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang listened and smacked his teeth.

This is embarrassing!

Didn't he just want Master Hu to do something for the imperial court and his Zhu family?
Why is it so difficult?
