Jinyi champion

Chapter 120 No One Available
The tenth year of Zhengde in Ming Dynasty, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Anlu Prefecture, Changshou County, Zhu Family Manor.

Zhu Wanjian was kneeling in the back hall, and sitting next to him were people from all houses except the third room. The old lady Zhu Jiashi criticized Zhu Wanjian in front of the whole family.

Zhu Wanjian was furious at the end, and immediately refuted: "The one who ran away is from the third family, why did mother come to teach me? What is wrong with me?"

The back hall fell silent for a moment.

The old lady had a gloomy face and remained silent.

Everyone felt that this was the brief calm before the storm.

At this moment, Steward Liu's announcement came from outside the door: "Old Madam, Jin Yiwei is here and wants to see you."

Zhu Wanjian said disdainfully: "Jin Yiwei is here to make trouble again? Let them leave the mess of King Xing's Mansion to them..."

Zhu Jiashi ignored the second son, and said to the fourth son Zhu Wanquan, "Watch him, if he gets up, use the ruler to whip him hard!"

After speaking, he actually handed over the ruler representing the family law to Zhu Wanquan.

Now Zhu Wanjian became even more angry, how can he say that is also his younger brother, how can there be any reason for a younger brother to teach his elder brother?
What is this girl who is not eccentric?
……

……

The Zhu family is in the main hall.

Lin Baihu came here and saw that Zhu Jiashi didn't even have the basic etiquette, so he stepped forward and asked: "I have only left Anlu for two months, how could such a thing happen? It is not your Zhu family who entered the palace ? Obviously against you, didn't the Zhu family show any sign?"

Zhu Jiashi was still reprimanding her son before, but now Lin Baihu, she was uncharacteristically not humbled, as if she didn't care about the situation of her eldest son in the capital.

Zhu Jia said with a stern face: "Lin Baihu, it was King Xing who made the decision to drive out the prince's companion, not only my child, but even the young master of Jingzhi county. Who?"

Lin Baihu's expression changed, and he asked, "Madam, are you angry with me?"

The smell of gunpowder permeated instantly.

Zhu Jiashi walked to the chair and sat down, without calling Lin Baihu to sit down, and continued to stare at him with indifferent eyes: "As far as I know, Lin Baihu has been safe and sound in Xingwang's mansion until now, and he can still A steady stream of information is being brought to you, but Lin Baihu has never thought of sharing this with my Zhu family...

"Poor my poor eldest son, who is still guarding the sky prison in the capital. The money that Lin Baihu took from the Zhu family in the past made those who made things difficult for my son rich and rich..."

Lin Baihu could tell that the old lady was very angry.

Before, he had been refraining from breaking out, but now that he tore his face first, Zhu Jiashi no longer hid it.

Lin Baihu's attitude softened instead: "Old lady, don't be offended. In this world, everyone in Jinyiwei protects himself, and who cares about others? If I didn't use money to manage it back then, Zhu Fuqianhu might still be guarding the emperor. What about the mausoleum! As for the internal response of King Xing's Mansion... I have no obligation to share information with the Zhu family, and now that the Zhu family has lost their trust, the higher authorities will be held accountable and can only be blamed on the Zhu family."

Zhu Jiashi said coldly: "Hold it? Then let my son go back to guard the imperial tomb!"

Zhu Jiashi's face was gloomy and cold, and his eyes were venomous. Lin Baihu's face froze instantly when he heard this.

Thinking about it, the reason why Jin Yiwei was able to control the Zhu family and continue to exploit the money was not because of the eldest son of Zhu who stayed in the capital, that is, Zhu Wanhong who was the proton?
In name, Zhu Wanhong was guarding the Imperial Prison in the capital, but in fact he was in prison. How could it be better than watching the imperial mausoleum?
Zhu Jia doesn't care about these at all. Anyway, my son hasn't been treated fairly until now, so why don't our Zhu family investigate intelligence in Anlu? What are you doing!

"Old lady, we are here to discuss matters, why is it so tense?" Lin Baihu could only smile.

Zhu Wanhong was in control before, and the Zhu family had to give themselves face no matter what.

But now the Zhu family clearly wants to cut off their tails to survive, and resolutely abandon Zhu Wanhong, so that there is no need to fear the threat of Jin Yiwei, unless Jin Yiwei takes another hostage from the Zhu family back, or simply cancels the mission of the Zhu family in Anlu... so The Zhu family couldn't wish more.

Unable to control the weakness of the Zhu family, now the Jin Yiwei is the one who is in trouble. Lin Baihu suddenly realized that the Zhu family should not be pushed too hard.

Zhu Jiashi said: "My grandson has investigated a lot of useful information during the six months in Xingwang's mansion. Lin Baihu has brought them to the capital to ask for credit. Now he was kicked out by Xingwang's mansion and sneaked away. If we get it back, can it still be stuffed into Prince Xing's mansion again? Lin Baihu doesn't want to use his own people to spy on the news, but instead puts all the blame on us, what kind of reasoning is that?"

Lin Baihu hesitated for a moment, and put on a smiling face: "I don't intend to pursue it, I'm just here to discuss the next step."

Zhu Jiashi sneered: "Old man, I heard that His Majesty is in the Xuanfu Construction Bank, and will soon go to Beiguan to rule the army. The eunuch Zhang, the imperial horse supervisor who visited Anlu before, went to Xuanfu to be in charge of the expansion line accompanied by Lin Baihu. In the matter, Lin Baihu didn't mention the news at all."

The more the conversation went on, the more embarrassing Lin Baihu felt.

I thought Zhu's family was in a remote place like Anlu, and they didn't know anything, but I didn't want the capital to know every move.

Right now the imperial court is not focusing on Anlu, even Jin Yiwei is not uncommon to ask what is going on with King Xing's son, the entire imperial court is paying attention to the emperor's various mischievous behaviors.

Lin Baihu stayed in the capital with all his heart, and his return this time was just to put pressure on the Zhu family to use him... But now it seems that the Zhu family is determined to fight him to the death.

"Old lady, Your Majesty said that Eunuch Zhang would go to the Xuanfu to supervise the army, but he didn't say that the expansion is in progress. As for His Majesty's going to the Xuanfu to govern the army, it is not true. Remember rumors... You should understand the rules." Lin Baihu was evasive, his face full of avoidance.

"Humph!"

Zhu Jiashi just hummed softly in response.

Lin Baihu continued: "Nowadays there are rumors all over the world, all because You Xiaoxiao used His Majesty's favor and trust in traitors as an excuse to confuse the people and do such unruly things. We, Jin Yiwei, as the emperor's pro-army, should put an end to such voices and should not listen to them. It is the wind or the rain... The news that I should provide in the Prince Xing's mansion here will definitely be drafted and sent to the Zhu family in the future, so that the Zhu family can communicate with the higher-ups."

Zhu Jiashi sneered: "No need, my Zhu family has its own way to complete the errands entrusted by the court."

Lin Baihu was startled, and asked curiously: "Could it be that the Zhu family... bought someone from Xing Wang's mansion?"

Asking like this on the mouth, suddenly in the heart.

No wonder the old lady of the Zhu family suddenly became hardened. The lovers have found a way to obtain information, which may be more secure and efficient than my channel. Then don’t I want to curry favor with the Zhu family instead?

Zhu Jiashi didn't want to explain too much to Lin Baihu, so he shook his sleeves and said, "My Zhu family works for the imperial court, and I have a clear conscience... If Lin Baihu has nothing important to do, it's better to leave!"

An order to evict guests was issued.

Then Zhu Jiashi walked away in a huff.

Butler Liu greeted at the door: "Master, please."

Lin Baihu was not feeling well, and secretly wondered, how could the Zhu family be so stubborn?
It is said that there is a news channel, what kind of channel is that?Why didn't I hear it mentioned before, the nails I buried in the Xing Wang's mansion didn't bring any news!
He thought to himself: "Lu Song has always been just a battle in Prince Xing's Mansion, and his position is not high. He doesn't know much about the core secrets of Prince Xing's Mansion. It seems that the Zhu family has caught a big fish this time. They returned to Beijing early after completing the mission. Now it looks like we have to stay in Anlu for a few more days."

……

……

Zhu Jiashi returned to the back hall and stopped practicing family law with Zhu Wanjian.

It's just that it is no longer possible for her to rely heavily on this son, and Zhu Wanjian will be excluded from decision-making if it concerns the core interests of the Zhu family.

The eldest son is in Beijing as a hostage, but the third son is not here. Only the fourth son Zhu Wanquan can be trusted by Zhu Jiashi.

After the family meeting was over, Zhu Jiashi left Zhu Wanquan behind. He wanted to give Zhu Wanquan some good advice, but unfortunately Zhu Wanquan didn't have much interest in court disputes.

"Mother, the child doesn't understand intelligence espionage, why don't you appoint someone else?"

Zhu Jiashi sighed, looking puzzled, as if to say, if I still have people under my command, do I need to find you?

Zhu Wanquan continued: "I didn't pass the township examination last time, and my child has been sad for a long time. I want to study hard and strive for the top ranking in this subject. I hope my mother will be successful."

Zhu Jiashi nodded helplessly: "Everyone has their own ambitions, so I don't bother you with family affairs, just study hard."

After letting Zhu Wanquan leave, Zhu Jiashi thought about it. Originally, his eldest grandson had grown up and could be manipulated. Unfortunately, his eldest grandson's character... was exactly the same as his second uncle's.I wanted my eldest grandson to attend this family meeting, but I couldn't even find anyone there, so I might be able to have a good time in a golden cave.

After much deliberation, he could only ask Butler Liu to come over.

"If you don't trust him, who else can you trust?"

Zhu Jiashi also knew that there might be spies in the Zhu family, but at this time she had no other choice, so she could only call Steward Liu, who had done a lot for her before.

Butler Liu looked very reserved in front of Zhu Jiashi, and said respectfully, "The old lady is looking for the young one?"

Zhu Jiashi said: "Yes, in a few days, someone will come to Anlu, or there will be a secret communication. I want you to be responsible. If there is any news, I will bring it here as soon as possible."

Butler Liu immediately saluted: "Yes."

"Don't you ask who it is?"

Zhu Jiashi looked Butler Liu up and down.

Butler Liu said sincerely: "The old lady arranges things, but the younger ones don't dare to ask more questions."

Zhu Jiashi sighed softly, thinking that since Steward Liu was going to be used, he couldn't show distrust, he had to say it, even if he didn't say it, Steward Liu would still know about it after meeting that person, so it's better to be more generous and say it in advance Come out: "That's the new teaching that Prince Xing's mansion found from Changsha. In the future, he will cultivate the knowledge of Prince Xing's son. What news did he find out in Prince Xing's mansion? You can ask clearly and report it when you come back."

Butler Liu was secretly happy, but his expression was unmoved, and his tone was calm: "The young ones will act in secret and will not be known to outsiders."
