King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

Chapter 122 Lao Zhu is shocked! A case of stealing millions of stones! The mastermind behind Shanxi merchants? Thorough investigation!

Forbidden City.

Xuanzheng Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and reviewed the memorial.

The eyebrows relaxed a little.

He smiled slightly and said: "Prince, the finances are finally not so tight this year! We are relieved! Haha."

Zhu Biao also smiled when he heard this and said: "Thanks to my tenth brother's efforts, the court's urgent need was solved!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said with a happy face: "This boy! He is usually ridiculous, but what he does is never unreliable!
  Why are there no perfect people in this world?

If he is as down-to-earth and capable as you are, he will be able to do things well."

Zhu Biao's face turned bitter.

Then what do you want me as a prince to do?
  Suddenly, Old Eunuch Chen came closer and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Lu is waiting outside the palace gate and asked to see His Majesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and said with a smile:
  "Prince Lu? We just mentioned him, and this guy came to the door on his own? Quickly announce it!"

soon.

Zhu Tan then met Zhu Yuanzhang, and not surprisingly, he also saw the eldest brother who had been observing and studying politics for a long time.

Zhu Tan couldn't help but shook his head.

The father and son are tied together all day long, how can their relationship be bad?

It's no wonder that others have never had any intention of competing for reserves.

Even Zhu Laosi, who later launched the Jingnan, was very honest at this time and never had any objections.

Zhu Tan and the two met after the ceremony.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and asked: "Why, your Hengzhong Academy has been completed? Even if it is completed, you haven't invited your husband yet, right? Where did you find the time to come here to chat with us?"
  Could it be that he wanted to borrow someone from the Imperial College?

That won't work!

Not to mention whether those civil servants are willing or not, if we agree, won’t our butts sit crooked?
  Please sir, you have to figure it out yourself!
  Anyway, you have plenty of money. Don’t those scholars say every day that there is a house of gold in the book, and there is a beauty like jade in the book?
  Now that the golden house is right in front of them, few people should be able to resist the temptation, right? "

Zhu Tan was stunned.

Then I felt a little unhappy!
  His Hengzhong Academy did not deliberately hide it, and Lao Zhu just knew the name.

How could he even know the progress of the academy?
  Is it fun to spy on yourself every day?

He couldn't help but said: "Father! Can you ask Jin Yiwei to change his habit of peeping? My Hengzhong Academy has just made a rough outline, and you will know it here!"

Erchen feels like he has no privacy at all! "

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed dryly and said: "The Jinyi Guards monitor the world. This is their duty!"

Zhu Tan said confidently: "The Jinyi guards should guard against villains and not gentlemen! My son is a real gentleman."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted: "You are a fart gentleman!
  Besides, we are not guarding against you, we are just concerned about you. Don’t be ignorant of good people’s hearts!

There is no parent in the world who doesn’t care about what their children think and do! "

Zhu Tan said confidently: "I think this is a distrust of me."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands impatiently like he was shooing away flies: "If you have something serious to say, just tell me!
  If there's nothing serious to do, step aside!
  Don't waste our time, we don't want to stay up all night processing memorials! "

Besides not wanting to stay up late, Lao Zhu had other thoughts.

Now I just gave birth to 22 sons.

The world is so big, we still need to have more sons to guard it.
  I have just turned 57 and am in my prime. I still have to work hard if I have time on weekdays.
  I have plans for tonight, but I don't want to be disturbed by this guy Zhu Tan.

When Zhu Tan heard that Lao Zhu was a little impatient, he immediately straightened his expression and said: "Go back to Father!

Something is indeed happening! And it’s a big deal! "

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised.

He didn't expect that any big event would alarm Zhu Tan now, so he came to him specially, put his hands behind his hands and asked seriously: "What big thing?"

Zhu Tan said: "I have a clue in my hand, which points directly to the fact that Guo Huan, the acting minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and Zuo Shilang, accepted bribes and corrupted the law. The amount is extremely huge!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was stunned and couldn't help but lost his voice: "Is this true? Where did you get the news?"

Zhu Tan said: "I think this news should be reliable!
  The records are very detailed! "

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "It's strange! Even the imperial court didn't know about this news, but it was first passed to one of your vassals. Tell me how you got it!"

Zhu Tan said: "Back to my father, these are the account books sent by some Shanxi merchants who had their homes confiscated!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "Could it be that they colluded with Guo Huan to do these things, and now they want to report Guo Huan for meritorious service and reduce his guilt?"

Zhu Tan nodded and said: "They have this intention!
  But it was not that they colluded with Guo Huan to do these illegal things.

Instead, they went to a salt merchant named Wu Qingchen.

The idea that the salt merchant gave them was to hand over this account book to them, and then let them find their son, hoping to use his hand to spare them, and it would be better to return some assets! "

"Wu Qingchen?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this name, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and his voice rose a few degrees.

"Since it's him, where is he now? Have you looked for him?"

Zhu Tan was stunned.

From the tone of his father's voice, he seemed to know Wu Qingchen.

Zhu Tan replied: "As soon as I heard the news, I ordered people to arrest Wu Qingchen! But his Wu Mansion was empty, and no one lived in it. But I, listen to my subordinates Looking back, it seems that the Wu Mansion was abandoned not long ago.

There are no weeds growing in the yard, and there isn't even much dust on the furniture. "

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

"That's right. I think he buried this move when he left! This account book should be true! Huh! What a Wu Qingchen! He is a sly and wily man! We have underestimated him!"

Zhu Tan was curious and couldn't help but ask: "Father, who is this Wu Qingchen? Does he even know him?"

not far away.

Prince Zhu Biao also showed a curious face and couldn't help but lean forward, wanting to listen.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said: "It's nothing!
  This Wu Qingchen was the former leader of Shanxi merchants, and he is the same group as the Shanxi merchants you are fighting now!

It's just that he is much more scheming than those sluggish guys!

Even we were wary of him back then.

However, beware, beware, he was considered a meritorious service to the Ming Dynasty back then, and we also gave him an iron coupon for the Alchemy Book! "

Zhu Tan also understood the general idea after hearing this.

My heart was secretly shocked!

This Wu Qingchen, according to Zhu Yuanzhang, is just a businessman!

To be able to obtain the Iron Coupon of the Alchemy Book must have been quite a feat back then.

I guess Lao Zhu also felt that issuing elixirs and iron coupons to businessmen was not in line with his national policy of focusing on agriculture and suppressing business, so he didn't publicize it much.

But this Wu Qingchen is also a character.

He was so low-key after getting the iron ticket from the Alchemy Book.

No wonder that as a merchant, he could contribute to the founding of the Ming Dynasty!
  But he hid his merit and fame afterwards, which is simply a model of old coins!

Compared with his colleague Shen Wansan, he is countless times stronger.

Look at Shen Wansan, he helped the Ming Dynasty build the southern city wall, and told Lao Zhu that he could reward him with a million troops with one tael of silver per person.

With such a high profile, if he doesn't get punished, who will?

However, when Zhu Tan heard Lao Zhu mentioning this person with a vague tone, he probably understood that Lao Zhu was probably feeling guilty about Wu Qingchen.

Maybe, he is planning to kill the donkey at any time.

This is also normal.

After Lao Zhu conquered the world, there were few heroes for whom he was worthy of honor.
  No matter who he is dealing with, he will always be wary to some extent. It is the founding emperor's basic behavior to kill the donkey.

Look at Liu Bang, not only did he kill, but he also killed in such a high-profile manner, parading around the country with his army, killing the princes he had sealed one by one.

Thinking of this, Zhu Tan admired Wu Qingchen even more.

The "donkey" who was targeted by Lao Zhu was able to sneak away and break out such a shocking case. He must have had many plans for so many years!

Such a person is actually just a businessman
  Zhu Tan thought again.

I actually vaguely guessed a possibility in my heart!
  Then I couldn't help but wonder in my heart!

No way?
  According to historical records, Guo Huan's case shocked the whole country and had wide implications!
  Not only were the corrupt officials in the six ministries wiped out, but the three local departments, and even the state and county offices were also wiped out!
  It's simply cruel to the extreme!
  Zhu Yuanzhang's logic at the time was also extremely simple.

If Guo Huan can collude with so many officials across the country to commit corruption, then we should continue to investigate him!
  As long as you are guilty, you will be taken down!

Kill those who deserve to be killed, spare those who deserve to be spared, and confiscate the homes of those who deserve to be!

At the same time, Lao Zhu's logic is also very powerful.

Didn’t you, Guo Huan, collude with local officials to steal and sell grain from the granary?

Well!

Whoever sold it to, keep chasing!

Anyone who dares to buy will be confiscated, imprisoned or even beheaded!
  In the end, from officials to the people, countless wealthy households across the country were also tragically affected.

If this case was handled very accurately, it would be enough to punish all the evildoers.

But in fact, under the background of that era, how could it be accurate?

On the contrary, most innocent people are implicated!
  This should be the case whether officials or wealthy households.

In the end, it even caused an uproar across the country, and finally forced Zhu Yuanzhang to behead Wu Yong, the presiding judge of the case, in order to calm down the anger of the people!

Zhu Tan has no doubt that when this major case arises, it will cause turmoil in the country.

And this also made Zhu Tan always feel that the expansion of this anti-corruption and recovery of stolen goods was deliberately done by someone!

And its purpose was precisely to mess up the Ming Dynasty!
  At the beginning.

Zhu Tan thought that Wu Yong was the one who wanted to kill him.

So in the end, Zhu Yuanzhang also killed him.

But now, the clues in Zhu Tan's mind point to Wu Qingchen!

Zhu Tan is even almost certain that Wu Qingchen must be behind Guo Huan's case!
  Wu Yong might as well be his puppet.

The logic is not difficult to deduce that Lao Zhu wanted to kill Wu Qingchen.

This Wu Qingchen wanted to protect himself and take revenge.

Naturally, we have to fight back.

A businessman who can make Zhu Yuanzhang so fearful must have a very terrible layout.

Regardless of the Shanxi merchants who were so stupid and so obvious, they were able to bring more than a dozen officials into the court to impeach themselves.

Wu Qingchen, who has accumulated a lot of money, can only make his layout more far-reaching and become more powerful!
  If Wu Qingchen was the mastermind behind the case, then Wu Yong, the chief prosecutor of the case who was executed at that time, and even the relevant investigators must be suspicious.

Zhu Tan thought of this and already had a plan in mind.

Seize the initiative, keep an eye on the relevant investigators, and finally find out the mastermind behind the scenes, and put the heinous Wu Qingchen to death!

On the other side, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked: "How serious is Guo Huan's problem?"

Zhu Tan handed Zhu Yuanzhang the account book with a serious face.

Zhu Yuanzhang took the account book and just glanced at it a few times.

His expression instantly became ferocious!

Then he cursed angrily: "Death penalty! Death penalty! This Guo Huan is really a capital crime!
  How audacious, even this! "

Zhu Biao saw Zhu Yuanzhang so excited and couldn't help but persuade him: "Father, calm down!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly.

"Calm down? How can we calm down? These damn moths!
  They almost stole our Ming Dynasty!
  We are still complacent here, and our household is worry-free!
  Such a big thing happened in the blink of an eye!
  How dare they plan to corrupt millions of stones of grain! Millions of banknotes!

The amount is astonishing!

This Guo Huan is simply crazy!
  We need to investigate thoroughly! Check it out for yourself!

Just check it out! "

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang being so angry, Zhu Tan couldn't help but shake his head.

Lao Zhu's temper is still so violent.
  However, now I must dissuade him.

At least calm down first.

"Father! In my opinion, although this Guo Huan case is shocking, it must be thoroughly investigated!

But you must also be careful that there are villains secretly causing trouble!
  For example, this Wu Qingchen!
  He is very suspicious!

Why did he report Guo Huan for nothing? Erchen feels that this matter is not good for him!

He reported this matter, and there may be malicious intentions behind it!

Handling cases is one thing, but on the other hand, you have to be careful of falling into traps. "

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Tan in front of him, and his heart moved slightly.

Tan'er looks more and more like an assistant prince!
  Zhu Yuanzhang then had an idea.

He looked at Zhu Tan and said, "Originally you were going to make a bet with Song Ne and the others about the imperial examination, but we didn't intend to delay you.

But this matter was reported and exposed by you. We plan to appoint you as the chief inquisitor and arrange a few lieutenants to assist you. Are you willing? "

Zhu Tan hasn't reacted yet.

Zhu Biao, who was standing aside, couldn't help being stunned when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

The vassal prince entered the court to govern?

This is the first time!
  In fact, Zhu Tan had overstepped a bit last time. After all, the imperial examination had nothing to do with the vassal king, but he put forward his opinions and insisted on changing it.

In fact, the power of the vassal king is normally strictly limited to the vassal territory.

Even on the vassal land, one may not have the final say.

For example, Xu Da has always been in charge of Zhu Di's Beiping City.

The military jurisdiction of Peiping and the control of the seventeen guard posts were basically in the hands of Wei Guogong Xu Da.

The vassal kings, such as the King of Jin and the King of Yan, could command the army and have some power basically only when they were going on an expedition.

But this time, things are a little less simple.

Like Zhu Tan, sitting directly in the center presiding over government affairs and leading people to investigate and handle cases is definitely an extremely special situation!

Zhu Biao couldn't help but sigh. The position of the tenth brother in the heart of his father is indeed different!
  Next, I don’t know how my father will arrange it.
  Never.
  Zhu Biao thought for a moment, then shook his head.

My father would never do that kind of thing, so he should do something special!
  Zhu Tan heard Zhu Yuanzhang's proposal and did not shirk it. Instead, he said loudly: "My son is willing!"

Originally, he thought he was investigating in secret, but he didn't expect that Lao Zhu actually gave him the right to host the case!

In this case, it might be easier to control the attack surface and find out the mastermind behind the scenes.

As for the matter of Hengzhong Academy.
  Just kidding, as the mountain leader, I just need to arrange the teaching affairs.

What's the use of staring at it every day!

It’s as if I can really teach students!

All I can do is to pass on the hellish exam preparation and exam-oriented education methods of the past, as well as the imperial examination skills that transcend this era, to those noble children!
  As for whether the bet will fail.
  Zhu Tan felt that it was absolutely impossible!
  Although the imperial examination is difficult.

But in this era, everything is new, and they don’t know much about many techniques and contents.

But Zhu Tan is already familiar with it, so if you take the exam according to his method, there will be no problem!

And
  The next hell mode is also one of the trump cards!

at this time.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Tan's words, he nodded with satisfaction.

"It's good that you didn't decline this matter for the sake of the imperial examination bet!
  Go down first, we will issue the edict later! "

Zhu Tan quickly resigned.

Just glanced at Zhu Biao.

I was slightly startled.

He clearly saw that his gentle and elegant elder brother looked at his affairs with a somewhat complicated look.

He couldn't describe the feeling, but it felt a bit strange anyway.

This was the first time that he didn't see care and protection for himself in Zhu Biao's eyes, but instead showed a kind of vigilance?
  Subsequently.

Zhu Tan couldn't help but shook his head.

Be careful about what you are doing!
  Although I am now involved in the government affairs of the imperial court, and I am not doing my job properly, I will not be worried about you, the most stable prince in history, right?

Then you are too unsure.

afternoon.

At Guo Huan's house.

At that time, Guo Huan, the acting minister of the household department and the left minister, had a serious face.

But my heart has already reached the extreme level of panic!
  Because, in front of him stood all the guards in uniform!
  Behind these people, people are still coming in continuously!
  These people seem to have long been accustomed to the relevant disposal procedures, which are orderly and methodical.

Drive out your family members and gather them together.

At the same time, the servants were gathered together and ordered to lead relevant personnel to search everywhere.

Moreover, there are still people counting people to prevent anyone from escaping.

At this time, Guo Huan felt cold all over.

My heart has already sunk to the bottom.

Although he was extremely panicked, he still held on with one ten thousandth of a chance of luck, looked at the Qianhu of Jin Yiwei in front of him, and said inwardly: "Bold!
  This official is Guo Huan, the left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs!

How dare you treat me like this?
  Aren't you afraid that I will file a complaint to His Majesty? "

That Qianhu sneered.

"My official Jinyi Guard Qianhu Sun Zhengang!
  Does Guo Shilang want a decree? Then I will give you my will!

According to the order, Guo Huan, the left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, took bribes and perverted the law, corrupted the government, and harmed the country and the people! I hate it deeply! I have ordered a commander to quickly arrest Guo Huan and confiscate his home! Admire this!

Mr. Guo, are you satisfied now? "

When Guo Huan heard this, his face turned as pale as earth!
  By order!

In this world, whose order can you follow?
  Of course it was the aloof Emperor Hongwu!
  Something happened.
  What a big deal!

Wu Qingchen!
  You old thief!

It hurts me too!

At this time, Guo Huan's legs and feet went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

He couldn't help but asked in a trembling voice: "Are you going to send me to the prison in Fusi, Beizhen?"

Guo Huan was extremely frightened!

Now, he knew that he was destined to die.

I'm afraid that the whole family will also be implicated by him.
  But even death can be divided into happy death and life worse than death.

And Jinyiwei's prison is the kind of place where life is worse than death!

Sun Zhengang shook his head.

"Master Guo should be glad that he is not Beizhen Fusi! If he is really sent there, it will be a serious crime of treason."

After saying that, he sneered again.

"However, Mr. Guo's matter must not be too small! Your Majesty has a decree, and we, the Jinyi Guards, still have to follow and investigate.

Master Guo must know all about Jin Yiwei’s methods!
  I hope Mr. Guo will take care of himself and not make the brothers work too hard. After all, we are just working hard, but you are the one! "

Sun Zhengang's smile was full of coldness.

Guo Huan's face turned pale again!
  Subsequently.

Sun Zhengang said loudly: "The prisoner Guo Huan has been captured! You are here to search carefully and don't let go of any brick or tile! These officials have a lot of money! Don't make any omissions!"

Guo Huan felt weak all over.

When he heard the word "yin", his eyes showed unprecedented hatred and regret!

If I knew today, why was it in the first place!
  Yingtian.

At the Duke Xin's residence.

Tang He frowned and looked at Zhu Tan sitting in front of him.

I felt a little upset.

My good daughter spends her days giving instructions to others to prevent her from breaking the rules.

Therefore, he lived in the princes' palace all day long and did not dare to go out.

Instead, this son-in-law became so wild that he ran around everywhere!

Today he actually came to look for me again!
  What's even more outrageous is that Tang He heard that Zhu Tan visited dozens of noble families recently!
  This was even more of a taboo among feudal kings. How could he make friends with nobles?

Your Majesty doesn’t know what to think.
  The rules of the Ming Dynasty were extremely strict, but they were always open to this boy, and Tang He, who had always been honest and cautious all his life, was frightened.

Tang He looked at Zhu Tan, coughed slightly, and said slowly: "Tan'er, you and I want the third and fourth sons to study with you and take the imperial examination. I promise you this!"

Zhu Tan smiled and said, "Thank you, father-in-law!"

Tang He waved his hands and said: "It doesn't matter! It's just half a year, I can handle it, it's nothing!
  It's just that those two boys are really not material for studying, so don't be disappointed.

They told me when they were young that studying is the most painful thing in the world. "

Zhu Tan laughed dryly and said, "I'm afraid my uncles are wrong. How can the most painful thing in the world be just studying?"

Tang He snorted: "They like martial arts and hate literature, they are ignorant and have no skills!

Isn't the most painful thing in the world for them just studying? "

Zhu Tan shook his head and said: "In my opinion, it's more than that! It should be that he was punished for studying?"

Tang He:.
  Then he said nonchalantly: "It's up to you! Just don't torture yourself to death!"

Zhu Tanqian smiled and said: "That's not true. I just estimate that after returning from studies, I may have doubts about life."

Tang He sighed: "I don't want to get involved in your affairs! You can do whatever you like. However, I also have something to ask you!"

Zhu Tan heard Tang He's seriousness and immediately asked, "What's the matter?"

Tang He furrowed his thick eyebrows and said, "You and I are family members, and we have some inner thoughts. If it comes out of my mouth, it will go into your ears, so don't mind!"

Zhu Tan smiled and said, "Of course not!"

Tang He nodded and said: "Close the door!"

The words fell.

Servants have long been used to it.

Close the doors and windows.

Zhu Tan couldn't help but shake his head.

Why is it closed again?
  Lao Tang was too cautious.

but
  Wouldn't it be more suspicious if you talk behind closed doors in such a big way?
  Forget it.

As my father-in-law, my fighting ability is average, but my ability to find a career is still top-notch.

He can even be said to be a top master!

At least, almost all the founders of the country were tortured to death by Lao Zhu, but he was one of the rare people who could die a good death.

There is no need for him to worry about anything.

soon.

With the doors and windows inside the house closed.

Tang He walked around the house several times.

Zhu Tan looked a little confused.

I couldn't help but pick up the tea cup on the table and take a sip.

Tang He suddenly looked at Zhu Tan hesitantly and asked, "Tan'er, tell me the truth.

Do you have any intention of competing for the reserve? "

puff--!
  Tang He was so frightened that Zhu Tan spit out the tea he had just imported!
  The whole person almost jumped!

No wonder you want to close the door!

If we don't close the door, just based on the few words you asked just now, I'm afraid that we will have to go to prison in a while!

You, Lao Tang, have also experienced two major Hongwu cases. Why are you so arrogant and dare to ask anything?
  This doesn't seem like someone who can get into a drug ring.
  Zhu Tan immediately lost her voice and said: "This is absolutely not the intention!
  How can it be!

My eldest brother's position is so stable, not to mention there are so many brothers above me!

No matter what, it’s not my turn, so why should I fight for it? "

Tang He looked at Zhu Tan, his thick eyebrows still knitted together.

"I also think there is no possibility of you competing for the reserve!
  It's not like someone with that kind of heart. If they strive for it, how can they act like you? You don't stick to trivial matters! "

Tang He thought about it for a long time before choosing such an informal word to describe Zhu Tan.

Zhu Tan also laughed dryly when he heard this word.

You're welcome.
  You're welcome!
  How can I be so informal?
  No big deal!
  Tang He sighed and said, "In that case, why do you repeatedly interfere in the political affairs of North Korea and China?
  Not to mention anything else, just the imperial examination, what does it have to do with you, the vassal king?

You insist on stopping me!
  Not only did he offend the civil servants all over the world, but he also gained the reputation of the vassal king interfering in politics!

Although His Majesty didn't mind, he was even somewhat happy to see it happen.
  But I still have to remind you that the feudal king is the feudal king!
  The important thing to do is to manage the domain well!
  From the day you become a vassal, you have nothing to do with government affairs. Don't express your opinions easily, let alone be easily involved.

The palace is extremely dangerous!

Your involvement in politics can easily arouse the prince's vigilance!
  Although the prince is generous and kind, "

Tang He smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"The prince of eighteen years, how can it be that simple! Don't look at the fact that you have given so much money to the court, made great achievements, and have His Majesty's love!

But if the prince is really wary of you, just a twitch of his little finger will be enough to make you doomed! "

Zhu Tan smiled bitterly.

How should I explain to him about the imperial examination?

You can't tell him that the revolution of productivity and the transformation of production relations must first stem from ideological changes.
  If he doesn't understand, forget it.

I understand, maybe I will personally report this treasonous person like me!
  Seeing that Zhu Tan was silent, Tang He couldn't help but sigh: "I also heard that something happened to Guo Huan, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue!

And the person in charge of this case is actually you! "

Zhu Tan nodded and said, "It's me! A few days ago, my father ordered me to preside over this case in the palace!"

Tang He sighed and said: "What do you think it is bad to do in your own domain, whether it is to be free and easy, to have more concubines, to live and drink!

What are you doing in the capital with so much involved?

What are you planning?
  If it really attracts the attention of the prince and other ministers, even if he is a good and holy family member of His Majesty, you will not be able to eat it and walk around!
  well! My daughter has been walking on thin ice ever since she married you!

I'm not young anymore, I can't bear the trouble!

Tan'er, please be more steady."

Left the Xinguo Duke's Mansion.

Zhu Tan was a little unhappy.

Fortunately, my father-in-law gave me a careful education.

However, Zhu Tan also knew that what he had done during this period was indeed a bit too much.

Even if the good elder brother doesn't care about him, I'm afraid some people will be dissatisfied with it as a civil servant in the court, and maybe someone will bring it up in front of Lao Zhu.

but.

Fortunately.

His reputation is not very good, and he regards etiquette as dirt.

He must be famous among those civil servants.

Since they have such a deep-rooted impression, if they do something out of the ordinary, they will not think that they are harboring evil intentions.

Instead, I just feel like my brain is not working very well.
  I was thinking about it.

soon.

The sedan stopped in front of a restaurant.

Zhu Tan smiled slightly.

Not surprisingly.

I am going to hold the Hengzhong Academy's famous teacher recruitment ceremony here.

　It’s still a text, so I’ll give it an update for the time being. I don’t have enough time. I’ll make up for the missing 2500 words tomorrow! Ok.
