Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

However, Su Mu also knew that what he said just now happened to be biting the lice with missing teeth, and he hit the crux of the matter.

Looking back, "14 years old", "marriage", and "Hejian Mansion" should be the key words.

Emperor Zhengde suddenly burst out laughing, still laughing at his sister: "This bastard actually did such a thing. If that's the case, I'll send someone to catch her back. Whether it's Jinyiwei or Dongchang, It's all right, that's what they do. Queen Mother, don't be angry, it's not worth it to be so angry for this little girl. If it's okay, I'll do it. Su Mu draws up an order!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Su Mu was still full of doubts, drafting an order, what purpose?

"Stop." The Empress Dowager's eyes were red again, and she waved her sleeves: "Su Mu, you step back first, and wait outside the hall. Your Majesty, Aijia will have a few words with you first."

"Yes, Empress Dowager." Seeing that Empress Dowager Zhang didn't seem to have the intention of directly taking his own life, Su Mu knew that he had succeeded in fooling him, and if he didn't leave this matter, what else should he do, so he hurriedly pushed out of the Empress Dowager's bedroom and stood outside waiting for Emperor Zhengde .

There were still many eunuchs and court ladies standing outside, all of them were trembling, their faces were ashen. It seemed that Princess Taikang had run away from home, and everyone was under great pressure.

Not a moment after he came out, Zhang Yong came up to him and said in a low voice: "Zi Qiao, today is a dangerous day. If the eunuchs on the Queen Mother's side did not know our family, and Her Majesty happened to be in the palace, I am afraid that the Empress Dowager Cisheng and her old man will be killed." Do what makes your loved ones hurt your enemies, and this is Liu Jin's plan to harm you."

Hearing Zhang Yong say that Liu Jin was going to harm him, Su Mu didn't think so.

Zhang Yong and Liu Jin had enmity in the first place, besides, one of the two of them is the seal of the chief inspector, and the other is the signboard of the imperial horse supervisor. pinch.

As a foreign official, Su Mu has nothing to do with the grievances and grievances of various people in the inner court, so naturally he doesn't want to get involved.

Just smiled and didn't speak.

Seeing Su Mu's disbelief, Zhang Yong said in a hurry: "Zi Qiao is a gentleman, but he doesn't know how fierce the competition in the palace is. Last time you and I went to the Silver Hook Casino to save Wu's second child, we have already committed Liu Jin's crime." Bogey. Liu Jin is the most narrow-minded person and loves money like his life. If you and I go to his casino to make trouble, Liu Jin will naturally want revenge."

Su Mu glanced at Zhang Yong, and asked calmly, "Tell me what's going on, and how did Liu Jin harm me?"

Zhang Yongdao: "Originally, the disappearance of Princess Taikang has nothing to do with Liu Jin's savvy. But this thief led people into Princess Taikang's bedroom in the first place, and arrested all the maids and eunuchs inside. Said. I also copied several copies of "Dream of Red Mansions" written by Ziqiao. Liu Jin, a birdman, thought day and night to get revenge on Ziqiao. Take the black paper to the Queen Mother to sue Ziqiao as if you have found a treasure."

As he spoke, Zhang Yong had an angry look on his face: "Our family and Liu Jin's thief are both slaves of the Lord Long Live. If there is something really wrong, naturally we have to report to His Majesty first. This thief actually went to report to the Queen Mother first, didn't he just think about it?" To kill you?"

Su Mu's heart was shocked: It turned out to be Liu Jin. I have no grievances or enmities with him, and the relationship is also good. As for it?

When he thought of this, a depression suddenly surged in his chest.

But when he looked back, he saw an unknown smugness flashing in Zhang Yong's eyes, and he knew that this matter was not as simple as what he said.

He smiled instead, and asked nonchalantly: "Eunuch Zhang, after that day, did you take away Liu Jin's casino with an excuse?" , but not crazy.He naturally knew the status of me, Su Mu, in the emperor's mind, so he said without arrogance, Su Mu's previous outstanding performances had already made the old people of the Eastern Palace respect him like a man of heaven, and Liu Jin naturally refused to make a big enemy for himself for nothing.

The reason why he made such a murderous move this time must be that this Zhang Yong did some tricks down there, which completely annoyed Zhang Yong, and thought that Su Mu had formed an alliance with Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong was already scary, but now that there was another sumu, Liu Jin naturally had to act first to protect himself.

Zhang Yong was asked by Su Mu, and subconsciously replied: "How do you know?"

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Zhang Yong knew that he had been fooled by Su Mu, his face was as red as a pig's liver with embarrassment.

My heart was also shocked: Is there anything in this world that Su Ziqiao doesn't know?

Su Mu sneered: "If people don't want to know, you have to do nothing. Eunuch Zhang, you made such a big mess, but you made Liu Jin hate me and wanted to kill me. After all, you have to give me an explanation, right?" ?”

Zhang Yong tightened his hands and face in shame, and said embarrassingly: "Zi Qiao, Zhang Yong was just a little eunuch in the palace before he met you. If it was Zi Qiao and you who supported him, and fell into His Majesty's eyes, he would not be what he is today." Zhang Yong will never be able to repay your great kindness and virtue. Really, really... Zhang Yong suddenly gained a high position, and he was just an ordinary person before. If you want to make your subordinates obedient, prestige is enough, but I don't know what to do with this kindness. This time I can't be forced to make such a bad move, and please forgive me, Ziqiao!"

While talking, he explained the reason of the matter clearly to Su Mu.

It turned out that after Zhang Yong and Su Mu came out of the Silver Hook Casino that day, Zhang Yong saw that the big lining of the casino was called Yin and the small lining was called gold. The industries here have all been taken over.

On the surface, he told the people in Dongchang that this casino had offended Mr. Su, and there must be an explanation.That being the case, the casino should be paid to Su Mu.

Seeing the viciousness of the Yumajian, the people from Dongchang quickly reported it to Liu Jin.

As soon as Liu Jin heard that Zhang Yong and Su Mu were colluding, she became terrified.A mere Zhang Yong, he doesn't pay attention to it.But Su Mu, even the Duke of Dongchang, can't afford to mess with Su Mu.While gritting his teeth with hatred, he only asked his subordinates to be patient, and he didn't care about it.

Cutting people's fortunes is like killing their parents, and Liu Jin filed such a black case again, which can be regarded as completely turning against Su Mu.

Compared with Dongchang, which has rules and regulations to collect money and protection fees, Zhang Yong's Yumajian has no other extra money.This time, Liu Jin's casino was confiscated, and with a fixed income, he had activity money at hand.

After speaking, Zhang Yong bowed to the ground and apologized to Su Mu.

Seeing that the second-ranked father-in-law actually apologized to Su Mu, the other eunuchs were dumbfounded.

As the saying goes, you don't hit smiling faces, Su Mu has nothing to do with this thick-skinned Zhang Yong, he just said: "I was hurt by you, and I became an enemy with Liu Jin for nothing."

Zhang Yong: "Mr. Su, that casino has a turnover of 6000 to [-] taels per month. Don't worry, it's always the master's share. At least [-]% of it is your property."

Everyone in the East Palace knows that this Mr. Su is good at everything, except for his weakness of greed for money.

Su Mu was bitter: "Who wants your shares!"

At this time, Emperor Zhengde walked to the entrance of the main hall: "Su Mu, come in, the queen mother has sent you."
